At the end of October, Pierre visited Lanfang as the special envoy of French President Alexandre Millerand.
This was the first official contact between France and Lanfang after France and Lanfang dissolved their alliance. In order to achieve the purpose of connecting the relationship, Millerand took great pains to choose Pierre as the special envoy.
Although Qin Zhiyuan was somewhat dissatisfied with France, when facing Pierre, Qin Zhiyuan was able to adjust his mentality and receive Pierre in accordance with the standards for receiving state guests.
Julie and Qin Zhiyuan went to the Coconut City Pier to meet Pierre. According to the rules, Pierre could not meet this standard, but this was one of the reasons why Millerand chose Pierre as his special envoy.
To Qin Zhiyuan and Julie's surprise, Pierre actually brought a female companion. After being introduced, they found out that this was Sydney Wollaston, a member of the American Rockefeller family and the granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller, the founder of the Rockefeller family.
It was another political marriage, but Pierre had no dissatisfaction with it.
After getting in the car, Pierre sighed and said: I have reached the age to get married. Anne has urged me several times. Since I can't delay it, it's not bad to choose one that will help my future.
Of course you should find a good wife. To be honest, I'm used to seeing you being so unkempt. Now that you're so neat, I'm really not used to it. Qin Zhiyuan laughed casually.
Pierre used to be a standard bachelor. As a result, Pierre was quite slovenly. It was normal for him to look for a clean shirt in the laundry basket. Now Pierre is finally willing to start a family.
, this is a good thing for both Pierre and Anne Foch, at least it can finally reassure the Fochs.
Of course, even though it was a political marriage, Qin Zhiyuan would not ask if it was not fair to the girl. That would be meaningless. Being born in a wealthy family and enjoying everything provided by the family, one has to bear corresponding obligations. Only those who
Only those who fantasize about getting something for nothing will ask whether there is fairness in this world. In the final analysis, fairness needs to be achieved through one's own efforts.
The Rockefeller family is a big guy, so now it means that you will not be in the position of Governor of Madagascar for a long time. Qin Zhiyuan thought about it.
Yes, when I return to France, I will go back to the Parliament. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be the next Speaker. Pierre did not mince words.
It may be a shame for civilians to eat soft rice, but for some ambitious big shots, it is not a problem at all. Pierre and Sydney Wollaston were together, and Rockefeller
Of course the family will provide corresponding help, but at the same time, the Rockefeller family must also have requirements for Pierre. This exchange is equivalent to an exchange of equal value. Since it is an exchange, there is no such thing as a soft rice cloth.
So Mr. future Speaker, after you take office, what changes will you bring to the relationship between us? Qin Zhiyuan was a little surprised. Pierre becoming the Speaker of the French Parliament is much better than having someone else become the Speaker.
Nothing will change. Even if I now want to restore the alliance between Lanfang and France, will you agree? Pierre will rebel against General Yijun.
Haha, it's just a joke, don't mind it. Qin Zhiyuan was immediately embarrassed.
To be honest, even if Pierre becomes the president of France now and wants to restore the relationship between Lanfang and France, Qin Zhiyuan will have to consider it. It is indeed good to have France as an ally, but if this is a France that is extremely hostile to Germany,
Qin Zhiyuan is really not very interested.
The most direct reason is that France's performance in international competitiveness is not as good as Germany's. Whether it is military or economic, France's potential is not as good as Germany's. If Qin Zhiyuan is asked to choose an ally in Europe, put aside the Pierre factor.
, Qin Zhiyuan prefers to choose Germany.
Lanfang now wants to support Germany, which will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the French. If France is still an ally with Lanfang, Lanfang must consider the opinions of the French. Now that the alliance has been terminated, let's stop talking about those things.
Some or not.
I knew you would be like this. Pierre was not surprised by Qin Zhiyuan's attitude.
This is what Alexander meant. Qin Zhiyuan was still a little curious.
No, Alexander can't lose his face now. Don't you know that Congress is quarreling every day. For the aid of Americans, agriculture needs subsidies, industries need to restart, and the military needs more budgets. Alexander can't care about it now.
Fuck you. Pierre's expression was sarcastic, perhaps more filled with grief than despair.
Then what are you doing here? Qin Zhiyuan's interest suddenly waned.
It's not that Qin Zhiyuan wants to restore relations with France, Qin Zhiyuan wants to see Alexander Millerand's jokes.
Qin Zhiyuan is not a magnanimous person. Since Alexander Millerand betrayed Qin Zhiyuan's friendship, Qin Zhiyuan is happy to see Alexander Millerand unlucky. If Pierre is Alexander Millerand's lobbyist, Qin Zhiyuan will
Make fun of it, and then do whatever you want.
On behalf of the French government, I came to visit Marshal Foch's headquarters. Pierre found a very good reason.
To be honest, this excuse is terrible. You have to be prepared to be beaten. I won't help you. Qin Zhiyuan folded his arms and watched the show.
Foch has always been sincere to Pierre. When Pierre took office as the governor of Madagascar, he promised Foch that he would make a great career as governor. Now that Madagascar is in a mess, Pierre pats his butt but wants to
Returning to France would certainly not be welcomed by Foch.
Madagascar is indeed a mess. When Lanfang Foreign Legion was in Madagascar, the Malagasy people were vigorously suppressed by the Foreign Legion. From Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, to the north, there was almost no room for the Malagasy people to survive. France and Lanfang contacted allies
After the relationship, Pierre Cong Lanfang's hiring of troops was severely criticized by the French Congress, and Pierre had to terminate the employment contract with Lanfang's military department.
After the Lanfang Foreign Legion left Madagascar, the Malagasy people came back again, and there were traces of Malagasy people near Antananarivo. It is estimated that it will not take long for the Malagasy people to launch a more violent counterattack.
But that's not Pierre's concern, it's the next Governor of Madagascar's turn to have a headache.
Just as Qin Zhiyuan said, when the motorcade returned to Lanfang Palace, Foch and Anne were waiting at the entrance of the palace.
Although Foch did not go to the dock, Julie had already reported the existence of Sydney Wollaston over the phone, which made Foch and Anne immediately overjoyed.
Foch's life was considered difficult. One of his two sons was killed in the war, and the remaining son remained celibate. The old couple had no choice but to follow their daughter to Lanfang, which was considered a departure from home. Now I heard that Pierre finally
After calming down, one can imagine the joy of Foch and his wife.
As a daughter of a wealthy family, Sydney Wollaston's education was obviously very good. When greeting Foch and Anne, she behaved very appropriately without any hint of arrogance or arrogance, which made Anne very satisfied.
Foch was also satisfied, so much so that when he heard that Pierre had resigned as Governor of Madagascar, he just snorted and did not get angry.
Pierre obviously felt that he had dodged a disaster and secretly made a face to Qin Zhiyuan.
The living room was still lively. Julie brought Qin De and Qin Zhi out to ask for red envelopes from Pierre. Pierre was obviously prepared. Sydney Wollaston also had a greeting gift. It seemed that Pierre had learned about Dongfang before coming.
Etiquette, at least not rude so far.
Then several women began to focus on women's topics such as parenting, fashion, etc. Foch was really depressed after hearing this, so he went to the office with Qin Zhiyuan Pierre, leaving a group of women chatting in the living room.
Compared with the living room, the environment in the office is much cleaner. Foch and Pierre let out a sigh of relief when they entered the office. It seemed that they were extremely disgusted with those thousands of ducks.
Once here, Qin Zhiyuan began to act as a waiter, pouring wine for Pierre, making tea for Foch, and a glass of ice water for himself. The few of them sat on the terrace and chatted comfortably.
In this way, the Rockefeller family will fully support you. After listening to Pierre's explanation, it is obvious that Foch has a long test.
Yes, the Rockefeller family will use all their power to fight for 30 years so that I can run for the French president. Pierre does not hide his ambition for the presidential position.
Then you have to be careful, there is no free lunch. Foch gave his own advice.
I know, capitalists, this is considered their investment. Pierre has a clear understanding of this.
How are you going to deal with German Foch? This raises a very pointed question.
Germans, this is an unavoidable hurdle for all French people. If Pierre wants to become the president of France, he must carefully consider the relationship with Germany. If it is not done properly, Pierre will be in power.
, will also be driven out of power by the French again, just like Deschanel before.
Now we can only maintain the status quo. When I become president, it is estimated that the contradiction between France and Germany will no longer be the main contradiction by then, and we can reposition our relationship with Germany. Pierre has indeed considered it and gave his answer immediately.
We must be careful of the threat from Germany. Germany is too close to France. If there is another world war, France may not be able to withstand the German attack. Foch was not optimistic about the prospects of a war between France and Germany.
No, if there is another war with Germany, we can still withstand the German attack, and this time we will really hit Berlin. Pierre is confident, but he doesn’t know where the confidence comes from.
Arrogant. If everyone else has the same idea as you, then France will be in danger. If there is another world war, do you think the Germans will attack Paris with carriages? No, they will come with tanks. What will France get then?
He went to resist and said that the defense line would collapse before Paris was even organized. Foch was not polite at all and scolded Pierre again.
Foch had organized many battle simulations at the Lanfang Staff Headquarters. Especially after Hindenburg came to Lanfang, the old rivals Foch and Hindenburg would go into battle in person every time.
Of course, the result did not satisfy Foch. The possibility that Foch mentioned was the result of speculation by Lanfang's staff.
