The tragedy that happened on the Tianjin pier triggered all the media around the world the next day.
Although there are no pictures of the scene, almost all newspapers devoted their entire page to describing the tragedy that happened on the Tianjin dock.
In the entire dock tragedy, a total of 97 Chinese died. The cause of their death was all stampedes. A total of 11 soldiers of the Foreign Legion were injured to varying degrees. The most seriously injured soldier was stabbed in the abdomen and was in critical condition.
As if speaking with the same voice, all newspapers in the Republic of China cursed the Foreign Legion. Traitor became synonymous with the Foreign Legion in the Republic of China, and Qin Zhiyuan was called a traitor to the country.
And seemingly with the same voice, almost all newspapers outside the Republic of China expressed sympathy for the Foreign Legion. This group of poor people who fought bloody battles in Europe for two and a half years but are now homeless have become the best expression of humanistic concern.
A good candidate for charity.
Almost on the same day, the French Congress passed a proposal with almost unanimous votes: If Qin Zhiyuan applies, France will accept all Chinese members of the Foreign Legion and their families. The Foreign Legion will become an inseparable part of France and will not be subject to any discrimination. The French government
No one is allowed to discriminate against the Foreign Legion.
Perhaps by then, the Foreign Legion will be reorganized into the French Army. Minister of War Lyautey openly promised in the newspaper that the Ministry of War will prepare 15 divisions for the Foreign Legion. If the soldiers of the Foreign Legion want to continue serving, then they will
All can continue to serve.
At this time, the world war had just ended, and almost the whole world was disarmament. The United Kingdom was going to lay off 3.5 million people, France was going to lay off 2.7 million people, and the United States was even worse. The Americans were planning to retain only 200,000 troops, which was equivalent to 15 times the current size.
one part.
At a time when the whole world is disarmament, the French government is lending a helping hand to the Foreign Legion and preparing to retain all of them, which is enough to prove the sincerity of the French government.
Not only is the French government sincere, the British government has also expressed the same intention. If the Foreign Legion agrees, they can go to Australia or Canada or other Commonwealth countries. As long as Qin Zhiyuan swears to be loyal to the United Kingdom, the British will treat foreigners with national treatment.
Legion.
The same goes for Americans. George Patton had a good relationship with Qin Zhiyuan. He personally found Qin Zhiyuan the next day and said that the U.S. Congress was amending the Chinese Exclusion Act. If the Foreign Legion could join the United States, the United States would directly repeal this act.
That would also be the only act to be repealed since the founding of the United States of America.
The United States is a country of immigrants. As long as Americans want to, they can indeed not discriminate against Chinese people.
All the Germans can express is sympathy. They are not qualified to recruit the Foreign Legion, although William himself said that if the Foreign Legion is willing, they can regard Germany as their homeland.
But William himself did not believe that Qin Zhiyuan would choose Germany.
There was only one country that said a few sour words, and that was Japan.
What is certain is that in this unexpected incident, the Japanese definitely did not play any glorious role, and the Japanese did not express any solicitation intentions. They just pointed out sourly: As the king of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan does not have no place to go.
, they can definitely return to Lanfang
This simply made the French government, which was most likely to recruit the Foreign Legion, grit its teeth.
However, it was of no use.
Qin Zhiyuan, who was in the center of the whirlpool, said nothing.
Qin Zhiyuan locked himself in the attic of Black Swan Castle. He didn't see anyone or eat anything for three days. The only thing that accompanied Qin Zhiyuan was a record player, which played "heyjude" recorded by Qin Zhiyuan himself.
At the door of the attic, Julie sat on a small stool and stared at the closed door of the attic. There were tissues soaked in tears on the ground around her.
Misha carried a bowl of millet porridge and climbed up the spiral staircase.
Is there any movement? Misha gave Julie a questioning look.
Julie shook her head slowly, and with this movement, tears fell from the corners of her eyes again.
Misha sighed silently, handed Julie a pack of tissues, put the rice porridge in his hand on the small table next to Julie, and took away the cold bowl.
The rice porridge inside is still full.
Gigi, don't go up, father will be unhappy. Bill's voice came from downstairs.
No, Dad won't be happy if we don't do anything. You can do your thing and I'll do mine. Girardine's voice was fast and urgent.
Gigi, listen to me, Julie will take care of it, let's not cause trouble now. Heyman's voice is still steady.
No, don't stop me, you know, you can't stop me. Listen to the sound, Girardine has already started to go upstairs.
We really couldn't stop it, but Jiji Bill's voice was full of helplessness.
With the sound of dense footsteps, Bill followed Girardine up, and then Hyman.
Julie Micha was a little hesitant to see Julie and Micha's Girardine.
Misha shook her head at Girardine with a doting look on her face, expressing her disapproval of Girardine harassing Qin Zhiyuan, while Julie's eyes suddenly lit up.
It has been a year and a half, and Geraldine Heyman and Bill are no longer the little carrots they used to be.
Girardine and the others are no longer green. Hyman, the tallest, is almost 1.7 meters tall and is almost in the stage of changing his voice, so he seldom speaks.
Bill is getting stronger and stronger. He is now less than 1.6 meters tall and weighs nearly 160 pounds, but he doesn't look too fat and his muscles are very strong.
Girardine is not short either. She is now about 1.6 meters tall, which is considered tall for a little girl of his age. The main reason is Girardine's temperament. This little guy is not as tall as an ordinary girl.
Delicate and quiet as a child, Girardine's character is very strong, and it is more appropriate to describe her as a tomboy. This was a standard alternative in the early 20th century and very eye-catching.
It's a pity that compared to Julie, Geraldine's figure can only be described as lacking. This makes Geraldine very distressed, but Geraldine can't do anything about it, because her life mentor Misha's figure
It's not too hot either.
To put it simply, the original group of children have grown up, and soon they will be able to provide help to their godfather.
Now, Julie intends to ask Geraldine to help Qin Zhiyuan.
Julie knows Qin Zhiyuan's feelings for the Republic of China, and Julie also knows Qin Zhiyuan's feelings for Girardine and the others. Now Qin Zhiyuan needs to feel warmth and needs to feel that there are still people in this world who need him, no matter from
who.
Girardine is obviously a very suitable candidate.
So Girardine, as proud as a little hen, went straight up and knocked on the attic door.
Just as he raised his hand, before knocking on the door, the door suddenly opened.
Qin Zhiyuan, with a stubble on his face, walked out of the attic in front of everyone's dull eyes, and first gave Julie and Misha an apologetic smile.
Why bring Misha with you?
Julie could no longer care about this. Now that she saw Qin Zhiyuan taking the initiative to walk out of the attic, Julie was already ecstatic.
Misha, inform reporters that I am going to hold a press conference. Qin Zhiyuan's voice is a little hoarse.
Okay, Qin, when will Misha agree with a smile.
Probably in the evening, or tomorrow, whatever. In addition, all generals will be informed that a meeting will be held at Black Swan Castle tomorrow night, and no one will be absent. Qin Zhiyuan continued to give orders.
Okay, Qin Misha is still smiling happily.
There is no problem with this. In fact, the outside of the Black Swan Castle is now crowded with reporters. If they had not taken into account that this is private property and is defended by wolf-like foreign legionnaires, these reporters would have desperately tried to break in.
We are now at a relatively sensitive time point, and the Foreign Legion soldiers have become extremely sensitive. They care about all impure looks, whether they are scrutinizing, gloating, or sympathetic. The Foreign Legion will always lock them up first.
.
Regarding the foreign legion's extraordinary behavior, the French government has remained silent. Apart from expressing their willingness to accept the foreign legion, they have not expressed anything in the past few days, not even a move to coordinate with the Beiyang government.
There is no problem in notifying the generals to hold a meeting. Since Qin Zhiyuan locked himself in the attic, many generals have gathered from Corsica or other places to the old foreign legion camp in the Boulogne Forest. They are all waiting for Qin Zhiyuan's next move.
, some extreme generals such as Chen Kangjian, he first unscrupulously expressed that he would rely on force to fight back to the Republic of China, and now he also locked himself in the room. It seemed that if Qin Zhiyuan did not come out, Chen Kangjian was also prepared to starve to death.
.
For the current Foreign Legion, no matter what Qin Zhiyuan wants to do, as long as he takes action.
Zierra, are you okay? Qin Zhiyuan rubbed Geraldine's head affectionately.
Just like when she was a child, Girardine made an upward movement to welcome her, and at the same time she narrowed her eyes comfortably and smiled brightly.
Almost everyone calls Girardine Jiji, only Qin Zhiyuan calls Girardine Ziera. Girardine does not allow anyone else to call her Zierra, not even Misha. This belongs only to Qin Zhiyuan.
call.
I'm sorry for making you worry. Qin Zhiyuan smiled apologetically at Julie.
No, it doesn't matter, everything will be fine. Julie was smiling, and the tears in the corners of her eyes couldn't stop flowing down.
Okay kids, I want to take you to a beautiful place, are you willing? Qin Zhiyuan faced Hyman and Bill.
Is it Bali? I have long wanted to go there.
No problem, father, no matter where you are going, just take us with you. Heyman is deep.
Yes, I think Bali will be our home for a long time to come. One day, we will build it into a paradise on earth. Qin Zhiyuan is very ambitious.
homeless
This is really funny. Qin Zhiyuan does not need anyone's pity. Even just an idea is offensive to Qin Zhiyuan.
With loyal subordinates, caring lovers, strong economic strength and military force, the world is so big that you can go anywhere.
Even if he doesn't return to the Republic of China, if he jumps out of that big dye vat, Qin Zhiyuan will have a broader world. One day, Qin Zhiyuan will make those who echo his words regret it.
As for those who wrote articles in newspapers slandering the Foreign Legion, they have no future. Once Qin Zhiyuan, who has strong military force and economic strength, wants to retaliate, the energy that will burst out will be extremely terrifying.
