Everyone has selfish intentions, and that's understandable.

Even in a large collective, when everyone is striving for a big goal, there will be countless individual interests.

Since Clemenceau came to power, the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Clemenceau has gradually drifted apart.

This is normal, as a politician, Clemenceau itself should not be too close to the military, especially a front army general like Qin Zhiyuan, who holds military power.

Once the military is combined with politics, it can easily develop into a dictatorship, which is something that no one wants to see.

Clemenceau paid attention to this, and since he came to power, he took the initiative to alienate Qin Zhiyuan, Leotai and Foch, even if there was something to be agreed upon, more often it was conveyed through the old Renault.

Now Clemenceau sent someone to find Qin Zhiyuan, which is very rare.

"Qin, long time no see." Jules Fresine and Qin Zhiyuan have known each other before, and the two of them can be regarded as nodding friends.

"Jule, you still look so tired." Qin Zhiyuan quipped.

Jules Fresiné is in his forties, and his body is very good, and he belongs to the type that gasps when he takes two steps; There were few strands of his hair left, the standard Mediterranean hairstyle; There are a lot of wrinkles on the face, and it looks bitter and hateful.

"Ah...... Qin, you're still so unfriendly. Jules Fresiné tucked himself into the couch with some effort, and as soon as he sat down, he picked up the coffee on the table and began to drink.

"Friendly people can't survive, especially in this hellish place like Sidi Bel Abbas." Qin Zhiyuan said with deep meaning.

Qin Zhiyuan knew that Lillard Essara's group had been in Paris recently, and he didn't need to think about it to know what Essara's wanted to do, and he wanted to use the French government to make a detour and set up a government composed mainly of locals in Sidi Belle Abbas to change the military administration of Sidi Belle Abbas.

"Speaking of Sidi Belle Abbas, Qin, George has had a headache lately. You know, Paris is already a mess, George's mind is on Paris, and Sidi Belle Abbas, to be honest, shouldn't be a problem here at the moment. Jules Fresiné blinked his small eyes, looking at Qin Zhiyuan's gaze with a deep meaning.

"Is it a problem here? I don't think so. Qin Zhiyuan had a different opinion.

Lillard Esshara approached Qin Zhiyuan about this matter, but Qin Zhiyuan ignored him. Autonomy is a very sensitive issue in the colonies at any time, even if Qin Zhiyuan agrees, the French Congress will not agree.

Qin Zhiyuan's promotion of religious freedom in Sidi Bel Abbas has unsurprisingly aroused strong opposition from Lillard Esharra.

If there was still a possibility of cooperation between Qin Zhiyuan and Lillard Essara, then after Qin Zhiyuan implemented religious freedom, there was no possibility of relaxation between Qin Zhiyuan and Lillard Essara.

This involves a fundamental interest, Qin Zhiyuan's promotion of religious freedom is to sever fetishism from the root. Fetishism has been inherited for thousands of years, and some people in the church have long realized that the canonical teachings are incompatible with modern life, and the call for "reform" has never been stopped.

If being out of step with the world is only the gentle side of fetishism, then the struggle within fetishism is the cruel side.

Fetishism maintains the faith of its members in the form of once they believe in it, they cannot quit it for the rest of their lives, and their children and grandchildren must believe in it. If "religious freedom" is really implemented according to Qin Zhiyuan's intentions, then it is almost certain that many people will break away from fetishism in a short period of time, and the foundation of fetishism will collapse directly, which is no less than the end of the world for Lillard Esharra.

"Maybe it doesn't seem like a problem to you, but in the eyes of many people, it's become a problem, or rather, it's the beginning of trouble. So Qin, for God's sake, please don't toss anymore. Jules Fresine spoke earnestly, shaking the empty cup in his hand at Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan let out a long sigh, got up and took down a bottle of wine from the wine shelf, and didn't have the heart to see the vintage, so he poured it directly for Jules Fresine.

Looking at the dreamlike amber of the wine glass, Jules Fresiné was finally satisfied, leaning back in his squeaky chair and tasting it slowly.

"How can this be a toss-up?" Qin Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled, and poured himself some as he spoke, but it didn't pass the bottom of the cup: "Is this what you mean, or what George meant?" ”

"Does it make a difference? It's not just me, or George, a lot of people think that freedom of faith is good, but it's not appropriate here, especially at this point in time. Jules Fresiné took a sip and shook his head contentedly, as if it were a supreme delicacy.

"But, Jule, have you ever wondered what would happen if you didn't change all the time and just went on like this?" Qin Zhiyuan really wanted to give it a try, not only for France, but also for Southeast Asia in the future.

"Wouldn't it be good to go on like this? The wind is calm, everything is fine, the sun rises as usual every day, and people work hard from 9 to 5. Jules Frésine sighed in an aria.

People are always like this, if the environment remains the same, few people will take the initiative to change, because the result of "change" may be for the better, or for the worse. For politicians, they are especially cautious, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and this phenomenon is not unique to the Chinese.

"That's just ideal, you can be sure that the sun will rise every day, but can you be sure that people will be working from 9 to 5 every day, working hard?" Qin Zhiyuan has the spirit of change, because he knows the direction of the future.

The crux of the matter is here, Qin Zhiyuan knows that if France does not make any changes, then the colonial system that they have worked hard to establish for hundreds of years will collapse in 30 years at most. But Qin Zhiyuan couldn't prove to anyone that that kind of collapse would definitely happen.

Perhaps for many colonial aborigines, the collapse of the colonial system is a good thing, but for Qin Zhiyuan, who has become a vested interest class, this collapse is not so wonderful.

Belch...... Not quite exactly, and if the colonial system collapses then it would be wonderful. But before that, Qin Zhiyuan had to complete the preliminary layout to ensure that when the colonial system collapsed, some of the colonies would become a paradise for the Chinese to thrive.

The longer this time is definitely better, because as time goes by, there will be more and more Chinese, and because of Qin Zhiyuan's existence, there will be more and more Chinese immigrants.

"Well, well, it should change. In fact, many people understand this problem, almost all of the current colonial laws were formulated hundreds of years ago, and the situation at that time was very different from now, and now it seems that it is indeed a bit out of place. But Qin, you have to know that if there is a problem, it will definitely happen, then when the problem has not happened, it is a minefield, and you are standing in this minefield now. Jules Fresiné finally said something heart-wrenching.

"It doesn't matter! I am ready for demining, and if the minefield is bound to explode, then I will detonate it in advance. "Qin Zhiyuan is determined.

"Tsk......" Jules Fresinene had a little headache, he rubbed his broad head, combed two handfuls of hair that didn't have a few left, and carefully chose words to form sentences: "Qin, why can't you use some moderation methods?" Don't use too drastic tactics right out of the box, that will cause a strong backlash and say no, and you'll get hurt because of it. And George, he's never going to watch that happen, you know the weight you put in George's heart. ”

The weight of Qin Zhiyuan in the French army system cannot be overemphasized, and in all known battles, only Qin Zhiyuan achieved a perfect victory against the German army, and no one else could do it. Therefore, for George Clemenceau, Qin Zhiyuan is the trump card in his hand, and in order to protect Qin Zhiyuan from fighting with peace of mind, Clemenceau will definitely do something.

"Jule, there is no perfect change, all changes will touch the interests of some people, so when the interests of those people are damaged, they will definitely not give up, since there must be pain, then the long pain is better than the short pain." Qin Zhiyuan had a faint premonition that something was wrong, but he was not sure what Clemenceau would do for a while.

"That's right, long pain is better than short pain. I agree with that, but if you can postpone this pain, then try to postpone it. Qin, you must understand one thing, George's term of office is not sure how long it will be, so if it must be painful, why must George bear it? Jules Fresine's expression was a little impressive.

Qin Zhiyuan can understand what Jules Frésine meant, which is definitely irresponsible.

Democracy, many times is good, but there is also one of the biggest problems, and that is the so-called "tenure".

You must know that every government is elected by the voters, so the government must be responsible to the voters and must not let the voters down, so as to prevent the chances of not coming to power in the future.

In this way, a serious problem arises, that is, the government's policy is not guided by the objective world, but by the preferences of the electorate.

Just like Qin Zhiyuan's promotion of "religious freedom", anyone who knows about the colonies will think that it is a good idea, but not all good ideas will win universal praise, and there will definitely be some people who oppose it, and those who oppose it are also people who do not want to be offended by the elected government.

Jules Fresiné's meaning is obvious, the colony's popularity is indeed a problem, maybe this problem will definitely erupt, but if it does, it should not break out during Clemenceau's tenure, and when Clemenceau is gone, even if the colony rebels immediately, then it has nothing to do with Clemenceau.

"Okay, I resign!" For a moment, Qin Zhiyuan was really disheartened.

"Uh, Qin, George didn't mean to make you resign." Jules Fresiné was so surprised that it took him a long time to react.

"I know, but in this situation, I've just introduced religious freedom, and if it's time for me to overthrow it with my own hands, do you want to make me a laughing stock?" Qin Zhiyuan really wanted to resign, if he couldn't do something, then there was no point in serving as the commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion.

"Qin, this ...... This is normal and should not be a reason to quit. Jules Fresine had a hard time.

It is indeed normal for politicians to go back and forth, and it is not uncommon for them to forget all about the flowers they said before they came to power.

"Yes, it's normal. But perhaps, that's why I'm willing to be a soldier, a pure soldier. Qin Zhiyuan's expression was complicated.

At the right time, Qin Zhiyuan didn't mind singing high-pitched.

Maybe "resignation" is a good thing, for the current Qin Zhiyuan, his current position is too much, if he gives up some of his power, then he may get more.
