Although I am exhausted mentally and physically, the problems that need to be solved still need to be solved.
This cup of bitter wine brewed by a single thought must be drunk even if you pinch your nose.
After sending away Cameron Carpenter and Bastian who came to ask for additional military spending, Millerand called Eric, a congressman from Corsica.
Unlike Portlem Mary and others who have resigned as members of Parliament and gone to Lanfang, Eric is also from Corsica, but his leaning towards Lanfang is not too deep. In Millerand's eyes, Eric is still
Belong is an object that can be communicated with.
Eric is a Corsican, but he also has his own house in Paris. Eric's home is in the deep woods of Boulogne, not far from Qin Zhiyuan's Black Swan Castle. After receiving a call from Millerand, Eric
Rick arrived at the presidential palace in a car assigned to Eric by the Corsican Parliament.
When he saw the Foreign Legion logo on the car, Millerand felt helpless. Especially when he saw the driver wearing a Foreign Legion uniform in the driver's seat, Millerand began to doubt whether Eric was a suitable candidate.
Communication object.
There was no turning back. Everyone had been summoned. They always wanted to talk. Millerand still received Eric in his office.
I heard that you were collectively absent from the Congressional meeting today. Why did Millerand use as calm a tone as possible to understand the whole story?
What does it matter whether we go or not? Our attitude will never be taken seriously anyway. In this case, let the damn Congress go to hell. Eric has no respect for Congress. If he said this in front of
Members of Congress told reporters that Eric would probably be impeached, but judging from Eric's intentions, he didn't have much fear.
When Congress decided to terminate its alliance with Lan Fang, it still held a vote. About a hundred pro-Lan Fang Congress members voted against it, but that was not enough. The members in favor of the bill reached a simple majority, and the bill was passed smoothly.
.
After the voting results came out, the Corsican congressmen headed by Eric left the venue angrily, expressing their protest in this way, but it was of no use as the passed resolution could not be changed.
As a member of Parliament, your behavior is open to question. Millerand maintained the utmost patience. Corsican MPs have always been difficult to deal with. The key is that they don't pay much attention to the French government. These MPs are not appointed by the government.
, even the French government has no jurisdiction over these MPs.
It is indeed debatable, but we all agree that the government should be more cautious when making certain decisions. I don’t mean to target anyone, but I must say that the person who made that decision is a stupid pig, and because it is a collective decision,
So everyone is a stupid pig. Eric's mood is a bit intense and he doesn't care about Millerand's face at all.
Millerand's expression was indeed not very good-looking. Although this was a collective decision, Millerand was also one of the decision-makers. Eric was scolding Millerand as well.
As a part of France, what you should do is accept this collective decision, and then consider what else can be done under this premise. Millerand emphasized the legal effect of the collective decision. As long as Corsica is still a part of France, then
Eric and the others should abide by the law.
Yes, we do accept this result, but Corsica never acts based on anyone's face, so we decided to maintain friendly relations with Lanfang. All companies and citizens of Lanfang will still enjoy the national benefits in Corsica.
Treatment. Eric announced in a tone similar to an official letter.
It seems that Eric and the others have not been idle during this period. Corsica also has a parliament. This parliament also has great autonomy. It is entirely possible to make such a decision.
You are betraying Millerand. If Corsica announces this decision, it will be a slap in the face to Millerand.
Terminating the alliance with Lanfang would be a betrayal. All Corsica members don’t know what the Americans can bring to us, but we know very well that without Qin and Qin’s foreign legion, Corsica would still be a wilderness.
There is no school, no community, no well-equipped port, and even the dogs will not even look at us. Eric was also excited and looked at Millerand with contempt.
Is that why some of you tax collectors, Millerand, don't mince their words?
Shut up and listen to what you said. The cause of the plane accident is under investigation. Before a conclusion is drawn, any groundless speculation is disrespectful to those who have passed away, not to mention your accusation, which is simply ridiculous.
After Rick finished speaking, he stood up and left angrily.
The secretary waiting at the door immediately stopped Eric.
What, do you want to imprison me? Very good, then come on. Eric turned back and glared at Millerand, stretched out his hands for Millerand to cuff at will.
Calm down, impulsiveness can't solve any problems. You should know very well that if we continue to maintain an alliance with Lanfang, then sooner or later we will be forced to get involved in some wars that we don't want. Millerand felt a little headache and rubbed it
He looked at his temples with a painful expression.
On the contrary, only by maintaining an alliance with Lanfang can some people be frightened, so as to avoid the outbreak of war to the greatest extent. If we do this, it is tantamount to eating because of choking. Think about it, every war Lanfang has fought since the founding of the country,
What harm will it do to our France? In fact, on the contrary, whether it is fighting Japan or fighting Siam, we are all the beneficiaries. Eric did not intend to save any face for Millerand. After saying this, he still glared at
Secretary at the door: Get out of here
Millerand did not raise his head and waved his hand to let the angry secretary pass.
When Eric and Millerand were quarreling, Yang Deshan had a pleasant conversation with Alfred, the governor of Liabi.
Perhaps it is because France and Lanfang have terminated their alliance, or because all the troops have been mobilized to suppress the rebellion in Siam and there is no support in hand. Recently, Alfred has not put any pressure on the brotherhood. Yang Deshan's days
It was quite comfortable.
War can always stimulate consumption. The rebellion in Siam also had an impact on Liabi. In order to cope with the rebellion, the British government increased its oil reserves. The oil produced in the Galyan oil field can finally be sold at a good price. Shareholders
There are no more complaints, the horse bandits have disappeared without a trace, the output of the oil fields is increasing every day, and all the news is good news.
Can the production reach 200,000 barrels next month? If it can reach 200,000 barrels, you may be rewarded with a knighthood. Alfred raised the wine glass in his hand to pay tribute to Yang Deshan.
I will try my best, but there is no guarantee. Yang Deshan is still cautious and has not given Alfred a specific promise. Even if there is the temptation of a title, Yang Deshan can still stay awake.
Yang Deshan really didn't care much about British titles. Although there was no public award, Yang Deshan already had an earl title in Lanfang, which the British could not give him anyway.
Do you know what happened in Cairo? Alfred didn't press, and the topic changed to Egypt.
You know. Yang Deshan is still cautious and sticks to the principle that if you talk too much, you will lose.
Just at the beginning of this month, the British troops stationed in Cairo suffered a complete defeat in the battle with the local rebels. About a regiment of British troops were defeated, and about a battalion of British troops were captured. The British were forced to start fighting with the Egyptians.
negotiated.
Around 1882, the British occupied Egypt. By 1914, the year when the World War broke out, Egypt became a British protectorate. The World War greatly weakened the British. The British faced locals in Egypt.
This year, Britain finally couldn't stand the quagmire of war and began negotiations with the Egyptians.
By the way, if there are no accidents, in the past history, by next year, that is, February 28, 1922, the United Kingdom was forced to recognize Egypt's independence, but still retained rights over Egypt's defense, diplomacy, and ethnic minorities. The Egyptian authority Farouk
The dynasty is still a puppet dynasty under British control. According to the Anglo-Egyptian intergovernmental agreement, Britain can send troops to Egypt at any time to protect British interests in Egypt.
Alfred mentioned this matter to Yang Deshan at this time, obviously indicating that he wanted to do something.
There are many Persians in your brotherly alliance. How did you make them obedient? Alfred is very curious about Yang Deshan's method of managing the brotherly alliance.
Hahahaha, this is a secret, please forgive me for not telling you. Although Yang Deshan was laughing, he still refused firmly.
Even if Yang Deshan told Alfred what to do, Alfred couldn't do it. Letting Alfred live in a tent and eat the same food as ordinary Persians would be better than killing Alfred.
Still difficult.
Well, you are such a tight-lipped guy. I should lock you up and torture you. Then maybe I can get what I want. Alfred looked displeased and shook his head to cover up his embarrassment in a joking way.
.
No, dear Governor, you still need me to mine the black gold for you. It won’t be too late to lock you up after the digging is complete. Yang Deshan was also joking, but of course his expression was sincere and horrified.
Hahahaha It was obvious that Alfred was satisfied with Yang Deshan's performance. After laughing for a while, Alfred put his elbows on the table, leaned forward and approached Yang Deshan, expressing himself and Yang Deshan in a close way.
Yang Deshan was even more moved by what he said: There is endless black gold. Did you know that United Petroleum has found a large oil field in Syria, which is almost as large as Gharyan's reserves? France wants to nationalize this oil field.
, that old guy Chris firmly disagrees. The French government is in a stalemate with United Petroleum. The problem is that part of this oil field is in Iraq.
These words really shocked Yang Deshan. This oil field was discovered at this time. Considering that the French government had just terminated its alliance with Lanfang, the French government's approach was indeed a bit ambiguous.
Do you understand what I mean now? Old God Alfred raised his glass.
I don’t quite understand that Yang Deshan is still as slow as warm water.
Damn it, don't you want to do something, such as replace the Farouk dynasty and become the controller of Egypt, or go to Iraq to get a share of the pie and make more money? Don't you want Alfred to feel incredible?
Yang Deshan's eyes were a little dull, and his Adam's apple moved up and down for a while before he managed to utter one word: "I want to"
