At the strong request of the Japanese, the 6th Division was finally transferred to Flanders and was no longer under the jurisdiction of Qin Zhiyuan.

This is just right, out of sight and out of mind, let the 6th Division go to the scourge of the British and Belgians.

Dogs can't change ****, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't believe that a group of beasts can become saints when they go to Belgium, they are still beasts when they get there.

The British would accept the 6th Division because the British and the Japanese had a secret treaty, and the British were forced to do so.

Qin Zhiyuan wanted to see if the miners of the Sixth Division had violated a certain British nurse, and the British would not be so generous.

Judging from the nature of the Japanese, this kind of thing is indeed very likely to happen.

Qin Zhiyuan, who had sent away the Japanese, was also unable to live in peace, and another evening, the new ambassador to France, Lu Zhengxiang, came to visit Qin Zhiyuan.

The establishment of ambassadorial-level diplomatic relations between France and the Beiyang government has made France's status in the Beiyang government rise sharply, for which the Beiyang government has made personnel adjustments, Lu Zhengxiang stepped down as the foreign minister and served as the ambassador of the Beiyang government to France, and Hu Weide was transferred back to China for another appointment.

The first thing Lu Zhengxiang did when he arrived in Paris was to come to visit Qin Zhiyuan.

Unlike Hu Weide, who does not say it on the face but has a lot of criticism about Qin Zhiyuan's joining the French nationality in his heart, Lu Zhengxiang has a sense of belonging to France, or a sense of belonging to Europe.

Lu Zhengxiang's wife is Belgian, and the relationship between Belgium and France is like the relationship between the Republic of China and North Korea. When Belgium was invaded by Germany, the French would act in a righteous manner, but if there was no common enemy, the French despised the Belgians very much.

There is cooperation and there is disagreement, which is the general state of affairs between countries at this time.

Lu Zhengxiang obviously has a deeper understanding of Qin Zhiyuan's role in Sino-French relations, so he maintains enough respect for Qin Zhiyuan and is meticulous in his understanding.

"General Qin, congratulations, after this battle, General Qin has become a famous general in the world, which is really the blessing of my Republic of China and the blessing of the Chinese." Lu Zhengxiang's big hat is not sent one by one, but wholesale by car.

"Chief Lu praised it falsely, and Qin didn't dare to be ashamed." Qin Zhiyuan is polite.

"Deserved, deserved, Qin General Feron Tadenoy a battle, with the weak defeating the strong not to mention, and captured the enemy chieftain and the enemy more than 100,000, the news came that the whole country was jubilant, Duan Lord has ordered people to repair the old house for General Qin, and posthumously sealed the ancestors of General Qin, and built a shrine of merit and memorial arches, in order to show General Qin's military merits, it is really gratifying." Lu Zhengxiang has a deep meaning.

Qin Zhiyuan joined the French nationality, it is impossible to say that the Beiyang government is not nervous at all, and it is not easy to come out with such a "famous general", of course, the Beiyang government does not want Qin Zhiyuan and the Republic of China government to go further and further, and it is only right to step up the envelope.

But for those overseers in the Republic of China, the louder Qin Zhiyuan's reputation was, the more nervous those overseers became.

If Qin Zhiyuan stays in France, it is fine, once Qin Zhiyuan returns to the Republic of China, then how to settle Qin Zhiyuan and those proud generals under Qin Zhiyuan?

Therefore, those overseers are now in danger, and they are afraid that one day Qin Zhiyuan will return to the Republic of China, and he will rob one of them of his position.

What is certain is that if Qin Zhiyuan returns to China, then he will definitely grab someone's position, maybe not even those overseers below, but the positions of Xu, Duan and others, the leaders of the Beiyang government.

Everyone is at risk?

It is indeed at everyone's own risk!

"Lord Duan has a heart, thank you colleagues for your help, Qin will definitely make persistent efforts to raise the prestige of our country thousands of miles away, and I will not let foreigners underestimate me Chinese." Qin Zhiyuan was full of confidence.

This person is just a face. Qin Zhiyuan has not yet started a family, and he has no children, so he can't talk about his wife and son now, and it's not bad to be able to glorify his ancestors. Although most of the people in Qin Zhiyuan's hometown village have moved to Corsica, Qin Zhiyuan is very happy to be able to leave his mark in the Republic of China.

"General Qin, there is a saying, Lu doesn't know whether to say it or not." Lu Zhengxiang hesitated.

"Chief Lu said, between us, there is no need to engage in those twists and turns." Qin Zhiyuan was decisive.

Qin Zhiyuan is really a little impatient with red tape, if it is traditional etiquette, Qin Zhiyuan will fully approve, but Qin Zhiyuan is resolutely opposed to these red tape and customs when communicating between people.

Qin Zhiyuan has always believed that the communication between people should be simple, if you have something to say, don't sell it, what should you do after speaking, it is really a waste of time to go around the clouds and mountains and fog covers, and because the intention is not clear, sometimes there will be deviations, which is really a poisonous trick between literati.

"General Qin's military achievements are brilliant, but he must also remember the truth of everyone's mouth and money, and you must know that General Qin, you are now thousands of miles away from the country, and you need General Qin to ensure a good relationship with the country. You have to give face when you should give in, you have to give in when you should give in, and some things may be better if you deal with them in a different way. Lu Zhengxiang didn't beat around the bush, seeing what people say is the basic quality of a diplomat.

"How?" Qin Zhiyuan was curious.

"For example, General Qin's previous treatment of Japanese soldiers was inappropriate. The Japanese had already negotiated with us that if General Qin could release the Japanese soldiers, the Japanese side would withdraw from Shandong as soon as possible as appropriate as compensation to General Qin and our side, but General Qin had killed the killers, although it was the Japanese soldiers who suffered on their own, but it also caused the Japanese to directly interrupt the negotiations with us on the Shandong issue, and we are now very passive. Lu Zhengxiang was a little helpless.

Between countries, in fact, it is an exchange of interests, if you want to gain something, you have to lose something, this is normal, even the Japanese break off the negotiation is normal, if in this case, the Japanese will still negotiate with the Beiyang government, that is abnormal.

"Chief Lu, first of all, I want to say that there are some things that can be discussed between us and the Japanese, and some things that cannot be discussed, such as the issue of Japanese soldiers this time, which I think is an issue that cannot be negotiated. If we want to release these Japanese soldiers in exchange for a compromise on the Shandong issue, then what kind of people have we become in the international community? It has become a country that can be unprincipled for the sake of profit, which is not good for our national image. Qin Zhiyuan insisted.

"General Qin, between countries, there are only interests and no principles. As for our national image, when we can't even fill the bellies of our own people, what national image do we have? General Qin's 'national image', Lu does not understand, but that is not what our country needs the most at present, only by being honest can we know etiquette, if the country is not rich and strong, it is nonsense to say anything about the national image. Lu Zhengxiang was also polite when he pointed out Qin Zhiyuan's mistake.

In the position of the Beiyang government, they are indeed very difficult.

It absolutely cannot be said that the heads of the Beiyang government do not care about the people's livelihood and the country, and only care about harming the public and private interests. At their level, there is not much temptation for personal interests, and it is what they pursue to leave a name in history and make the people remember them.

Xu Duan and others also want the country to be rich and strong, and they also want the people to be able to straighten their waists in the face of outsiders, and even the overseers of the Republic of China are not all so brutal and unreasonable, the main problem of the Republic of China is that there is no internal joint force, whether it is the Beiyang government or KMT, everyone thinks that only with their own set can the country be rich and the people strong, so they will fight endlessly.

They are not just competing for personal status, but also for the opportunity to promote their own governance programmes.

"I don't agree with that. Cangyu really knows that etiquette is correct, but we should not pin our hopes on foreigners, Chief Lu, you can think about how many people are in our country, and how large the proportion of the total population of the world is, foreigners will not watch our country rise, and will not let our country become rich and strong, because the total resources of the world are so much, we Chinese will share a little more, and the foreigners will share a little less, and they will definitely not make concessions in this regard. So we can only rely on ourselves, not the Japanese, the French, or anyone else, so don't expect anything to come out of the negotiations, and what you can't get on the battlefield won't get at the table. Qin Zhiyuan was righteous.

For the Beiyang government, Qin Zhiyuan can't say that he hates or doesn't hate it, and now Qin Zhiyuan doesn't mind who is in power, but when Qin Zhiyuan returns to China, Qin Zhiyuan will definitely chase power, also to chase the opportunity to govern.

After listening to Qin Zhiyuan's words, Lu Zhengxiang's expression became even more complicated. Lu Zhengxiang also understands what Qin Zhiyuan said, but this must be built on the basis of being able to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, or on the basis of not being defeated. But thinking about the Republic of China, which had fallen into chaos, Lu Zhengxiang was confused for a while.

The founding of the Republic of China was originally the product of compromise between all parties, not the overthrow of the "Father of the Nation". Although the Republic of China has been established and Pu Yi has abdicated, Pu Yi himself still lives in the Forbidden City, and the reason for this strange phenomenon is that there is no recognized leader who can be recognized by the whole country at this time.

The "Father of the Nation" served as the president for a period of time, but the "Father of the Nation" knew that he did not have a single soldier in his hands, so he ceded his power to Yuan Xiangcheng, who was originally recognized by everyone, but because he died early, the power fell again.

So far, because there is no recognized leader, the provincial overseers believe that the "emperor" should take turns, and we can try, so the Republic of China began to enter the stage of civil war.

While fighting endlessly, he thinks that the country is rich and the people are strong, which is simply wishful thinking.

Lu Zhengxiang knows this truth, but Lu Zhengxiang, as a diplomat, does not have a single soldier in his hands, and in the face of this troubled world, Lu Zhengxiang is also helpless.

Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that Lu Zhengxiang will be disheartened and avoid Europe.

In the original history, Lu Zhengxiang did go to Belgium to live in seclusion. Almost all the literature says that Lu Zhengxiang was trapped by love, because his wife died of illness and was too sad to go to Belgium, in fact, it is all nonsense, if Lu Zhengxiang's wife's charm is really so great, Lu Zhengxiang would not let his wife follow him to the ocean, but followed his Belgian wife to stay in Belgium.

Disappointment with the current situation, disappointment with the country, and disappointment with the world may be the real reason why Lu Zhengxiang lived in seclusion in Belgium.
