Pierre still has a chance to go to heaven, because early the next morning, Pierre will fly to Corsica with Qin Zhiyuan to participate in cooperation negotiations between the Lanfang Military Department and the French Military Department.
The cooperative relationship established between Lanfang and France covers all aspects of the economy and military. After Pierre returned to the military, he intended to strengthen military cooperation with Lanfang, especially in the military industry. Therefore, relevant personnel from both parties are currently in Corsica.
Island to negotiate.
Corsica is still a province of France, but it looks more like the enclave of Lanfang. Although Lanfang has been established as a country, the number of Chinese living on Corsica has not decreased because of this. Many people from the world war period have
The Chinese who migrated to Corsica during the Republic of China did not go to Lanfang, but stayed and settled in Corsica. These people have actually now become French nationals and are considered French.
In fact, strictly speaking, Qin Zhiyuan's French nationality has not been cancelled. The French government did not publicize the matter. Although the Lanfang government knew it well, it deliberately did not mention it. The matter has been shelved until now.
The aircraft Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre took was also produced by Lanfang. From the fuselage to the engine, it was 100% made in Lanfang. Without Qin Zhiyuan's French background, the French would not necessarily have imparted all their technologies to him.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan has also repaid the French. Basically, all Lanfang's advanced technologies will be exchanged with the French and authorized to be produced by the Renault factory in France. This on the one hand consolidates Renault's position in France, and on the other hand
It also deepened the friendship between Lanfang and France.
Of course, money still has to be paid, and these technology transfers are not free.
The kind of plane Qin Zhiyuan took is called the Eagle Eagle in Lanfang. It is the most common bird in Lanfang. In another world, it used to be the national bird of Java, but now it is not the national bird of Lanfang.
, but it is also deeply loved by Lanfang people.
The Eagle Eagle has a transport capacity of 2.5 tons, which is 2,500 kilograms. When fully loaded, the Eagle Eagle has a range of 1,700 kilometers. If the materials transported are less than 2,000 kilograms, the range will reach 2,100 kilometers.
This data is quite impressive. 2,000 kilograms is basically 20 fully armed soldiers. The Eagle Eagle's data is so outstanding, proving that it has the foundation for mass production.
The Lanfang military has placed an order with the factory to fully produce this kind of transport aircraft. The first batch of orders is 500.
When these aircraft enter active service, Lanfang will establish its first paratrooper unit on this basis, which will enable the Lanfang army to have rapid deployment capabilities and exponentially increase the combat effectiveness of the Lanfang army.
The eagle eagle also attracted the attention of the French. After negotiations between Lanfang and France, the French fully introduced the eagle eagle technology, established an aircraft factory in France, began mass production of eagle eagles, and gave the eagle a new name.
Young eagle.
On the plane to Corsica, Pierre did not stop discussing with Qin Zhiyuan.
Tell me honestly, do you have any ambitions for Corsica? Although this question was very aggressive, Pierre remained calm and only stayed within the scope of discussion.
Why should I be ambitious? Lanfang now has a vast enough territory. There is no need for me to stand on the opposite side of France for such an island that is not too big. If it is Madagascar, maybe I am still interested. Corsica can no longer satisfy me.
Qin Zhiyuan spoke loudly about my request for territory, not caring about Pierre's increasingly ugly face.
Madagascar is one of the many French colonies in Africa. As the fourth largest island in the world, Madagascar has attracted a lot of attention. Qin Zhiyuan has also paid attention to Madagascar. Unfortunately, Madagascar is too far away from Europe and Asia.
Qin Zhiyuan finally gave up on Madagascar.
If you want it, it's not non-negotiable. Pierre said surprisingly.
While discussing what happened there, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly became interested.
As Pierre narrated, Qin Zhiyuan gradually understood the whole story.
Although Madagascar is a French colony, the French rule in Madagascar is not stable. It can be said that from the first day when the French ruled Madagascar, the Malagasy people have never stopped resisting.
So far, in order to make the Madagascar people surrender, the French have invested heavily in Madagascar for many years, stationed troops, opened factories and mines, etc., but it seems to be of no use. Madagascar is still in chaos and there is no clue.
Resources, but due to the uncooperative attitude of the local people, France could not use them at all. It produced a bunch of ugly financial statements, and the French got nothing.
Therefore, just like Corsica in the past, there are always voices in the current French Parliament suggesting that the French government abandon Madagascar and withdraw its troops stationed in Madagascar in order to save expenses and use the saved money for construction in France.
How should I put it? It cannot be said that these French congressmen are idiots without vision. Isolationism is gradually forming a trend around the world. Isolationism is not just prevalent in the United States. In France, there are also some people who support isolationism.
, these people advocate giving up all French overseas colonies and using all French funds for local construction. Then they will surely build France into a paradise that everyone around the world longs for.
Because of the pain caused by the world war, many French people hope that France will recover as soon as possible, so seeing those heavy-loss bills is really infuriating. Isolationism currently has a certain market in France. France is still a democratic country after all.
, the voice of the people is reflected in the Congress, and it is not uncommon for such voices to appear.
Look, this is the result of your hypocrisy. You have an ugly face, but you pretend to be kind. The result is that you are not human inside and outside. The French people hate you bureaucrats, and you don't even have the ability to deal with a colony. And the colony
The people also hate you colonists because you have destroyed the peaceful life they should have. Maybe you think you have brought more advanced ideas and production and living tools to the local area, but the question is whether the local people need what you have.
Qin Zhiyuan, who had never considered this issue, exposed the shortcomings mercilessly.
You are the one with an ugly face. If everyone was as shameless as you, the world would have been in chaos. Pierre's face has turned black, and his counterattack is sharp.
Qin Zhiyuan's reputation is indeed not very good. From the moment Lanfang occupied the northern Xinjiang region, Qin Zhiyuan's international reputation began to stink. By the time Lanfang took Korea back from Japan, it became a province of his own.
, Qin Zhiyuan’s reputation has spread to the streets.
So what? The problem is that my country has benefited, and my people have really benefited. This is the most important thing. Those who say people are shameless all day long just say that grapes are sour when they can't eat them.
It makes no sense at all. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care whether his reputation is bad or not.
How to talk about reputation? It doesn’t mean that if you want to get a good reputation, you will definitely get it.
In the past, Pla also spent a lot of money in Africa. Even when the country was in difficult times, it never forgot the little African brothers. This has indeed seen results to a certain extent. For example, when Pla returned to the United Nations, it was the little African brothers who raised Pla.
Got in.
But in the 21st century, throwing away a lot of money suddenly becomes useless. I don’t know if it’s because the little African brothers think the money is too little, or if there are people who are causing trouble. Anyway, pla has the image of a person who is stupid and has too much money.
So Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care about international image. Even if people from other countries around the world gnash their teeth at Qin Zhiyuan, as long as the people of Lanfang support Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan won't mind. After all, for Qin Zhiyuan, even if Qin Zhiyuan becomes the
The Pope and those who worship Qin Zhiyuan cannot ask Qin Zhiyuan to be the king. The people of Lanfang are the foundation of Qin Zhiyuan.
If it were you, what would you do? Pierre suddenly became very interested.
Why do you care about this? You want to get the governor of Madagascar to do it? Qin Zhiyuan is suspicious.
Why not? If I can make Madagascar a part of France, then what else is more efficient than this to gain reputation? Pierre did not deny it.
"Building reputation" is a term that Qin Zhiyuan taught Pierre to use. Pierre is quite talented and has now mastered it and fully understands the meaning of this term.
Pierre is now in a period of accumulating reputation. Only when Pierre has gained enough reputation can Pierre provide Qin Zhiyuan with enough help when Qin Zhiyuan needs it.
Madagascar is indeed very good. Qin Zhiyuan thought about it for a moment, and then agreed with Pierre's idea: If you want to make Madagascar a part of France, then I suggest you refer to the westward expansion movement of the United States.
The westward expansion movement of the United States is another tragic history. During the entire westward expansion movement, about 1 million Indians were massacred, and the Indians were driven into Indian reservations. Their proportion of the local population was less than
Five percent, so that in the United States, the current Indian population only accounts for about one percent of the total population.
You mean that Pierre obviously knew that period of history, so he was a little hesitant in speaking.
Yes, that's what I meant, either move the Malagasy people to the African continent or let them move into the sea, otherwise Madagascar will never become a part of France. What Qin Zhiyuan said made Pierre shudder.
Moving into the sea is a more elegant way of saying it. People cannot survive in the sea, so moving into the sea is equivalent to letting those people die.
