It was already the end of May when Qin Zhiyuan received the report about the Prince of Basel.
The Prince of Basel wants to rebel, which is beyond the scope of Chris's work. Chris does not dare to make his own decisions. Reporting is certain, but the order of priority will matter.
United Petroleum is a company registered in France. It is said that regarding political changes in Tunisia, the Prince of Basel must first report to the French Governor in Tunisia. It does not matter whether he reports to Qin Zhiyuan or not. After all, Qin Zhiyuan did not
The right to interfere in Tunisian politics.
But Chris reported directly to Qin Zhiyuan, and Qin Zhiyuan went directly to Alexandre Millerand, who had already taken office as president. At this time, the French Governor in Tunisia did not even know that such a thing was happening.
It does seem to be unconventional, but everyone takes it for granted, and even Millerand himself doesn't realize there is anything wrong with it.
Alexander Millerand, who had just moved into the Elysee Palace, was very proud and received Qin Zhiyuan in the office with a cheerful face.
Perhaps in order to clear away the bad luck of former President Deschanel, Millerand renovated the office. The furniture and furnishings used in the office are different from before. A blue and white porcelain plate on the shelf is quite conspicuous, and there are two meters behind the desk.
The huge bust of Lerain echoes in the distance.
The blue and white porcelain plate was undoubtedly put on temporarily to add some oriental elements and draw closer to Qin Zhiyuan. The huge bust showed that Millerand was also a guy who enjoyed great achievements.
The more successful he is, the better. For Qin Zhiyuan, the ability of the French president does not need to be too high, which will widen the gap between Lanfang and France. At the same time, the ability should not be too low. If he is not afraid of his opponents, he should be afraid of his teammates.
So far, there is still a gap between Lanfang and France in terms of national strength, but this gap is rapidly narrowing. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Lanfang's national strength was only about one-fiftieth of France's, maybe not even fifty-fifty.
It was less than 10%, but in just two years, the gap between Lanfang and France has narrowed to less than ten times. In some special fields, Lanfang's economic aggregate even exceeds that of France.
Compared with France, Lanfang has a vast territory and huge sea area, and Lanfang currently has no natural enemies in Asia. The only natural enemy, the Japanese, has been defeated by Lanfang. This is different from France's wolf-fed environment in Europe.
Different, Lanfang has huge prospects.
This makes Lanfang more and more important to Fa Lai. Perhaps the French government considered the strength of Lanfang's army before forming an alliance with Lanfang. Now France has begun to pay attention to the benefits that Lanfang's economy brings to France.
Whether it is industry or agriculture.
So under this premise, Millerand paid more and more attention to Qin Zhiyuan, and was even more cautious about the information Qin Zhiyuan brought.
Is this sure? Millerand first needs to confirm the accuracy of the information.
This issue should not be doubted. Even if it is just a rumor, it deserves France's attention. It should at least investigate where this information came from and what the chances are of it becoming reality. Qin Zhiyuan wanted to roll his eyes, but luckily he restrained himself in time.
It's so rude.
From the perspective of attention, we can see that Millerand is also a bit ambitious and talented. It is gratifying to be the president, but whether he has the ability to be the president is another matter.
Well, in Qin Zhiyuan's mind, Pierre is the most suitable person to serve as President of France. Of course, it will also take time for this to become a reality.
No, no, no, I’m not doubting the authenticity of this information, it’s just that it sounds a bit ridiculous. I know the Prince of Basel and have dealt with him several times. He is a very generous man who lives at ease in Paris. He would think
It's unbelievable to go back to that poor place in Tunisia and serve as king where no one has any real power. Millerand's thinking is indeed unique.
According to ordinary people's thinking, being in the position of Prince of Basel would be much happier than being the King of Tunisia.
The Prince of Basel is also in name only. In Tunisia, the rights of the Prince of Basel are also limited. However, because he has the financial resources of the Basel Petroleum Development Company in his hands, the Prince of Basel does live a carefree life, sleeping with different beauties every day.
Waking up naturally, and then lingering in a car and yacht party, this is probably the ultimate dream of many people.
Besides, the King of Tunisia is a mascot for both France and Tunisia. He has no real power and his every move is under the strict supervision of the French government. In Tunisia, no matter what the King does, there will be countless pairs of eyes watching him.
Even in terms of power, it is not as influential as the Prince of Basel.
They are the same kings, but the Tunisian ones and the Lanfang ones are really very different.
Tunisia is not a poor place now. There is oil and wealth there. As long as the oil fields are not exhausted, the wealth will be endless. Who wouldn't be tempted? Qin Zhiyuan still chooses to say something nice.
If you want to say that there are some unpleasant things, let Millerand think about why he bit back at Deschanel in the first place, and Millerand will understand why the Prince of Basel wants to be the king.
In Qin Zhiyuan's impression, Tunisia's oil field reserves are far inferior to those of Algeria and Libya, but they are still far from depletion, and there will be no problem in exploiting them for decades. Qin Zhiyuan wants to attract France's attention to the three North African countries. If
If France continues to maintain the current level of control intensity, one day the three North African countries will leave France just like in the past, which will definitely be a major blow to France.
As an ally, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want France to be too good, but he definitely doesn't want France to be too bad.
This issue must be submitted to Congress for review. Millerand felt deeply responsible for the heavy responsibility and subconsciously chose collective decision-making.
This is the characteristic of democratic politics. If you are unsure about something, let others help you make up your mind. This not only shows your openness, but also lays the groundwork for you to get rid of responsibility later. It is really a good system.
Damn it, do you want to make it known to everyone? Qin Zhiyuan is not far away from giving up.
In terms of character, Alexander Millerand is very untrustworthy. Millerand was once called the cabinet of three traitors together with Viviani because of his participation in the cabinet organized by Briand. Before that, Alexander, who was a lawyer,
Millerand won a reputation by defending workers, but after joining the three-traitor cabinet, a railway workers' strike broke out in France, and Alexandre Millerand, the then Minister of Public Works, severely suppressed it. This seems ironic enough, but it is also
If he has not reached the peak, the peak is naturally the backhand stabbing he dealt to his former benefactor, Deschanel some time ago.
That’s not right, the future is uncertain, and no one can be sure that Millerand will not do anything extraordinary in the future.
One thing is for sure, no matter what Millerand does in the future, it will not be a surprise.
For example, if Millerand brought this matter to Congress, the result would be wonderful. This would be tantamount to handing over the initiative to others, not only putting Qin Zhiyuan and Chris on the fire, but also putting Qin Zhiyuan and Chris on the fire.
It is tantamount to giving a warning to the King of Tunisia, and at the same time it is forcing the Prince of Basel to rebel.
So if Millerland really did this, Qin Zhiyuan might pick up the blue and white porcelain plate and hit Millerland on the head to wake him up.
Yes, yes, if it cannot be submitted to Congress, then I will immediately send someone to find Mr. Prime Minister and Mr. Speaker. Millerand is still a little sensible and will obey Qin Zhiyuan's words.
The next meeting was with the French interior department. It was inconvenient for Qin Zhiyuan to attend, so Qin Zhiyuan returned to the Black Swan Castle.
Because Djerba Island is located in Tunisia, there is an imminent change of power in Tunisia, which will definitely have a certain impact on United Oil, so Qin Zhiyuan also has to make some arrangements in advance to deal with the next changes.
Compared with the French government, Qin Zhiyuan is much more efficient. If Millerand wants to find the prime minister, speaker and other relevant responsible persons for a meeting and discussion, he has to choose a day when everyone is around. Qin Zhiyuan only needs a phone call, and the relevant responsible persons will be there immediately.
Gathered together at the Black Swan Castle, this execution capability is much stronger than that of the French government.
United Oil belongs to Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault, and Poincaré also has a share, so these two people have to participate. As the actual controller of United Oil, Chris is also in Paris because he has to report this matter. If the Prince of Basel wants to
If there is a rebellion, then the armed forces of United Petroleum are the Prince of Basle's biggest support, so Gu Xingbang, commander of the United Petroleum Security Force, will also participate.
Tsk tsk, commander, look at this organization, United Oil is really undisguised.
There is no need to hide it. With old Renault and Poincaré here, they can already represent half of France. Old Renault is unrivaled in the economic field and Poincaré has huge political prestige. There is really no such thing as these two people in France.
Something unfair.
Compared with the rebellious boy Millerand, Poingale was much more experienced, so after Chris reported the relevant situation, Poingale reacted immediately.
It's a good thing, let the Prince of Basel do it, and even the French government will pay for it. Poincaré is indeed an old man, and he understands the principle of fishing in troubled waters.
Basel Petroleum Development Company now has a lot of oil fields, and it seems to make a lot of profit every month. Although it is not as good as United Petroleum, it can be described as rich. This is good, very good. Old Renault has begun to calculate Basel.
The property of the prince.
Look, these two are the real veterans. They will take the initiative to stir up trouble and fish in troubled waters no matter what. How can they let go of the Prince of Basel who comes to their door?
Qin Zhiyuan had already set the tone of the meeting without even speaking a word. Chris was still a little excited, but Gu Xingbang's eyes were straight.
Being friends with politicians really requires some psychological quality.
