Politicians have no position, whether it is Alexander Millerand or Pierre Foch, they have no position.
From a personal perspective, Pierre Foch has a certain inclination towards Qin Zhiyuan, but this is only one aspect. In Pierre's mind, France's national interests are the highest criterion, and Qin Zhiyuan's actions are not
When there is no harm to France's interests, Pierre can maintain friendship with Qin Zhiyuan, but if Qin Zhiyuan does anything that offends France's fundamental interests, Pierre will also fall out with Qin Zhiyuan.
The same is true from Qin Zhiyuan's standpoint.
Qin Zhiyuan can support Pierre to become the President of France, but the premise is that Pierre will continue to safeguard Qin Zhiyuan's interests after becoming the President of France. Otherwise, Qin Zhiyuan would rather get Pierre to Lanfang, just like William II.
Raised like the rest of the world.
Speaking of William II, the old man's life in Lanfang was really a mixture of joy and sorrow.
In terms of treatment and situation, William II's living environment is much better than that of Emperor Taisho. At least William II has a considerable degree of freedom, of course within the scope of Lanling Island. As long as William II does not leave Lanling Island,
William II can do whatever he wants, even giving William III a younger brother.
It is necessary to mention that William II now has a regular confidante, a young and beautiful Japanese-born Lanfang whom William III met last time. This of course makes William III a little embarrassed, but considering that Germany
Despite the current situation, William III still expressed his gratitude to Qin Zhiyuan.
Wilhelm II originally advocated the Yellow Peril theory, but now he has found a yellow man as his confidante. How ironic.
William II had no choice. Although William II was once the German emperor, due to William III's request and Qin Zhiyuan's control, there was no Westerner around William II. All the chamberlains and guards were from Lanfang. This
It was one of Qin Zhiyuan's methods to monitor William II. Although William II was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to accept the status quo.
In fact, compared to Emperor Taisho, William II's living environment was much better.
Just last month, Emperor Taisho's family, who lived on an unnamed island less than 100 kilometers away from Lanling Island, all suffered from severe diarrhea. Emperor Taisho's youngest daughter died of illness, and Emperor Taisho himself also died.
After half his life, Taisho's son Hirohito was also terminally ill.
The cause of the disease given by Mao Shiba was acclimatization, but everyone knows that this is a joke. If he was acclimatized, Emperor Taisho and his family would have been dissatisfied long ago, and they still have to wait until now
What happened to the Japanese royal family was a strong signal sent by Qin Zhiyuan to the Japanese: Just mess with it. The harder you mess with it, the faster your emperor will rise.
At the end of November, after many discussions between Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre, Lanfang and France finally reached an agreement. Lanfang will send some officers to Syria to help Syria train its army. That's all. Officer Lanfang will not go directly to Syria.
battlefield, and these officers will also go to Syria secretly and not with any fanfare.
France has terminated Lanfang's alliance, which also hurts the feelings of the people of Lanfang. Although Qin Zhiyuan is the king and has all the rights in Lanfang, the acceptance of the people must also be considered. If Lanfang will still make a big splash now
To help France, this is not because Lanfang is magnanimous, but because Lanfang allows France to take whatever it wants.
In a sense, France has indeed been of great help to Lanfang, but this cannot be a reason for Lanfang not to take a stance on French affairs. There is only one reason for Lanfang to help France. That is to Lanfang's country.
The benefits are favorable.
It was of course beneficial to Lanfang to send instructors to Lanfang. In order to achieve this goal, Alexander Millerand paid a lot of price, including no longer evaluating the lease contract of Cam Ranh Bay.
Regarding the Cam Ranh Bay contract, this once became evidence that Bastian and Lyotey colluded with Lanfang. Unfortunately, the congressman who openly criticized the same fate as the one who criticized Foch. Bastian and Lyotey could not
Not Foch, who is no longer in his position, these two men are the mainstays of the French military. It is not easy to shake the status of Bastien and Lyautey. The status of these two men was achieved with one sword and one shot in the war.
Spelled out.
Even so, Lanfang's lease of Cam Ranh Bay has still become a thorn in the throats of some French people. Thinking about the fact that the French Far East Fleet is nestled in Guangzhou Bay, and the best military port in the Far East has been given away by the military, this
It made many French people sad.
In fact, there is nothing to complain about. Before Lanfang rented Cam Ranh Bay, Cam Ranh Bay was just an inconspicuous small pier, and no one paid attention to it. After Lanfang rented Cam Ranh Bay, he began to build a large-scale construction project in Cam Ranh Bay, which accumulated over time.
The investment has exceeded billions of dollars. Those French people who want to pick peaches now do not want to think about when Qin Zhiyuan has suffered losses. This peach is not so easy to pick.
In November, Geraldine and Virginia finally arrived in Tokyo.
Lanfang's Commander-in-Chief in Japan, Yang Kai, personally went to the pier to greet the two imperial ministers who had the emperor's orders. Apart from being a little surprised at Girardine's age, he didn't have much other thoughts.
Although there are many young senior officials in Lanfang, including His Majesty the King himself, Yang Kai is still a little surprised by Geraldine's age, and the genders of Geraldine and Virginia are also surprising.
According to Yang Kai's understanding of intelligence work, to deal with resistance forces like those in Japan, those who come should be strong and powerful men, like Chen Kangjian, or mature and steady middle-aged people, like
It's Guan Yixiu's kind. In any case, they shouldn't be two little girls who are not yet underage.
Well, the nutrition of the Boy Scouts is still very good. In terms of physical development, Girardine and Virginia are close to adults. However, although Yang Kai is not familiar with Virginia, he recognizes Girardine and Virginia.
Girardin's, and it is precisely because he knows the basics that Yang Kai will not neglect Girardin, the great devil.
That's right, within the Boy Scouts, Geraldine is known as the Big Devil, which is as famous as Geraldine's other nickname, Princess.
Before coming to Tokyo, Girardine had read some information about Tokyo. Perhaps it was because the information was a little behind in time and was still a little different from the real Tokyo.
For example, on the pier, Girardine saw a giant statue of Qin Zhiyuan with a height of more than 20 meters, which aroused Girardine's curiosity.
Because of the influence of Western urban concepts, there are many statues of Qin Zhiyuan in Lanfang. Basically, they are about the same size as a real person, but not so big. So it was the first time for Girardine to see such a large statue.
curious.
This is set up so that people in Tokyo can always feel the majesty of His Majesty. There are many such statues in Japan. This one is not the biggest. There is one in Hokkaido that is more than 30 meters tall. That one is really big. Yang Kai
I must explain to Girardine as a landlord.
This idea is very good. Let His Majesty's statues and portraits be spread across every corner of Japan. Let the Japanese feel His Majesty's presence at all times. Let these Japanese people always understand who is deciding their destiny. Kira
Erding is very much in favor of this kind of ideological thing.
We also promoted badges, but the effect was not good. Not all Japanese people accept it now. Yang Kai is a little embarrassed, but he can still face the reality.
What does it mean to not accept it? Geraldine immediately sounded cold.
Not everyone is willing to wear His Majesty’s badge on their chest. Some people think that it will be a laughing stock internationally and is not good for His Majesty’s image. Others are worried that someone will do something disrespectful to the badge. In short,
Objection. Yang Kai can't hide it. Anyway, this will be Girardin's scope of work from now on.
Who thinks this? Geraldine's hand was unconsciously pressing the handle of the gun at his waist.
This is a pistol that Qin Zhiyuan gave to Girardin before leaving. It is the commemorative pistol that Qin Zhiyuan got in Cappi. This pistol followed Qin Zhiyuan even before Girardin.
It has special significance to Qin Zhiyuan.
After understanding the significance of this gun to Qin Zhiyuan, Girardine said nothing and kept the gun with him from the moment he got on the ship. Even when sleeping, he would put it next to his pillow and never leave it.
In order to ensure that our policies can be implemented smoothly, we have an interim Congress. Before implementing certain policies, we will go to the Congress for discussion. Most of the members of the Congress are Lanfang people working in Tokyo, and there are also some Japanese, monks and professors.
Something like that. Yang Kai didn't pay much attention, turned around and opened the door for Girardine.
If the Congress does not agree, then dissolve the Congress. Girardine said a word when he got in the car.
Disband
Yang Kai had no expression on his face, but his heart was filled with joy.
After Qin Zhiyuan took back the power of the governor, relevant functional departments with the government as the main body were successively established in various places in Lanfang, and the military gradually took a secondary position. Although Japan was not the official territory of Lanfang, it was also implemented in this way.
To be honest, Yang Kai is not very satisfied with this regulation, but considering the reality of the empire, Yang Kai still accepts it calmly. However, acceptance is acceptance, which does not mean that Yang Kai is willing. Before the establishment of the Japanese Congress, everything in Japan
It was Lanfang's headquarters in Japan that had the final say. At that time, the commander in Japan had even more power than the previous Emperor of Japan. This made Yang Kai feel a little disappointed even though he didn't say it.
Something like Congress has a certain symbolic meaning, but it is not a panacea. At least when certain decisions are implemented, some people will make irresponsible remarks and hold them back.
Because the efficiency is not high, Yang Kai dislikes this Congress so much that he rarely attends meetings. Now that Geraldine has this attitude, it really makes Yang Kai happy. Some people don't care about democracy all day long.
Are you talking about it now? Let me give you a taste of the democratic method from Lanfang Boy Scouts.
