Shortly after meeting with Emperor Taisho, Qin Zhiyuan was going to the prime minister's official residence for a dinner. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I have to admire the entertainment spirit of the French, even during the world war, all kinds of banquets in Paris did not stop, the soldiers on the front line fought bloodily, and the dignitaries and nobles in Paris were drunk and dreamed of dying, such a scene still happened in a democratically elected government, which is a very ironic scene.

The current Prime Minister's Residence is not the one used by Clemenceau when he was in office, perhaps in order to draw a line with Clemenceau, Alexandre Millerand borrowed part of the Louvre as his official residence under the pretext that the former Prime Minister's residence needed to be repaired.

Interestingly, the banquet was held at the former Oriental Art Museum.

Of course, the current Oriental Art Museum is no longer worthy of its name, because of the operation of Qin Zhiyuan and Lao Renault, most of the artworks originally stored in the Oriental Art Museum are now in the Lanfang National Museum, so the Oriental Art Museum of the Louvre has been abolished, and the current Louvre Museum does not have the Department of Oriental Art Museum.

For this reason, although Alexander Millerand was joking when he saw Qin Zhiyuan, there was still a grudge in his words: "Look at it, the former Oriental Art Museum has been vacated by you, and I have been worrying about where to find something to deal with the congressional inquiries." ”

Alexander Millerand is not tall, the fat situation is obvious, he looks a little cute in a round way, there is a lot of flesh on his face, with two mustaches, slightly narrowed eyes, and a resentful expression is really vivid.

Regarding the evacuation of the Oriental Art Museum, this can be regarded as a big trouble left by Clemenceau to Millerand, Millerand did not dare to go to Clemenceau for this issue, even if he found the door, Clemenceau would not give Millerand a good feeling, but at the same time, Millerand also had to face congressional questioning.

The members of the Congress will not care whether Qin Zhiyuan's evacuation of the Oriental Art Museum is a special act during the war, they will only ask why the more than 20,000 pieces of the collection have disappeared, and whether there is any insider trading or the like.

"If another councillor asks you this question, you can give him a big middle finger back." Qin Zhiyuan is not without malice.

Since those works of art have entered his pocket, Qin Zhiyuan will definitely not return them, even if they are torn and rolled and played scoundrels, Qin Zhiyuan will not give the French a son.

"I don't have the authority you have, and if I did, the councillors wouldn't hold on to it." Milleran shook his head and smiled bitterly, picked up a glass of brandy from the dining table and handed it to Qin Zhiyuan.

Most of the banquets of the French are in the form of cold dinners, with some small snacks, basically no food, drinks and the like are very rich, there are all kinds of high-grade liquor and low-alcohol red wine, in order to cater to Qin Zhiyuan, there is even a special Republic of China liquor transported from the Republic of China.

Of course, in order to take care of Emperor Taisho, Japanese sake was also served at the banquet, but there were far fewer varieties to choose from, with only two or three varieties to choose from.

Emperor Taisho also attended the banquet with Qin Zhiyuan, and among the attendees, Emperor Taisho finally found a similar kind of person, and as soon as he arrived at the banquet hall, Emperor Taisho had a very happy conversation with French President de Zanel.

Deshanel's mental condition is also a bit abnormal, two psychopaths?

What an amazing combination!

"Authority is self-established, not conferred by position." Qin Zhiyuan took the wine glass and was noncommittal to Milleran's words.

It is true, as the same prime minister, Clemenceau's rights were not the same as those owned by Millerand, and the rights owned by De Shanel were not commensurate with those owned by Poincaré.

"yes, so I have more work to do." Milleran nodded, seriously agreed with Qin Zhiyuan's words, and raised his glass to Qin Zhiyuan in order to successfully find a consensus with Qin Zhiyuan.

"In any way, as long as Lan Fang can help, please don't be polite." Qin Zhiyuan tasted it and gave a promise.

The tincture he just drank yesterday was drunk, and Qin Zhiyuan was really apprehensive now, although this was also a banquet, and there were enough drinks provided, but Qin Zhiyuan was ready to drink only this cup from beginning to end.

"As long as Lanfang and France can maintain their traditional friendship, that will be the greatest support for me." Milleran was in a good mood and took off half of it in one bite.

is another person who opens his eyes and talks nonsense, Lanfang has only been established for more than a year, and it is really inappropriate to describe it as "traditional friendship".

However, considering the rapid changes in the political situation in France and Lanfang, there is indeed a "tradition".

"That's for sure, after all, in many ways, we have a wide range of common interests." Qin Zhiyuan was willing to maintain friendship with France, if the British colonies had always been so many.

Just when Qin Zhiyuan and Milleran were communicating, a burst of unbridled laughter suddenly came from the corner of the banquet hall, Qin Zhiyuan and Milleran were a little surprised, and when they looked over, they found that it was Deshanel and Emperor Taisho who were laughing, and there were already several empty wine glasses around the two, so Qin Zhiyuan and Millerand turned around with a tacit understanding, pretending not to see it at all.

"How did you end up with that guy?" Listening to the tone and choice of words, you can know that Millerand has no good feelings for Emperor Taisho.

"Well, His Majesty the Emperor is not in good health, I want to see if there is a better treatment in Europe." Qin Zhiyuan is still the same rhetoric.

Those who are qualified to participate in this level of banquet are basically dignitaries, that is, the so-called "head and face", since they have a little face, they must follow certain rules, so no matter who they are talking to, the people who participate in the banquet are all soft and gentle, and the degree of sound control is appropriate to be able to hear the music played by the band.

There is definitely no overeating on this occasion, even if you can't eat enough and then have a supper, you will not lose your temper on the spot.

So one can imagine how out of place the hilarity of Deshanel and Emperor Taisho just now.

"Miller, can you borrow your majesty's time for a while?" Poincaré came with a cup.

"Of course you can, Your Majesty is light." Milleran was polite and bowed slightly to Qin Zhiyuan.

"Then let's talk later." Qin Zhiyuan responded and politely bid farewell to Millerand.

The biggest advantage of this kind of banquet is that you can find people to communicate freely at will, of course, there are still some proportions, whether there are important big people, it will not take up too much time of others, in the shortest possible time, as effectively as possible to communicate with more people, is the important purpose of participating in the banquet.

The relationship between Raymond Poincaré and Qin Zhiyuan is also very good, because of the relationship between United Oil, and now the relationship between Poincaré and Qin Zhiyuan is more intimate.

When Qin Zhiyuan and Poincaré walked side by side to the corner sofa, Poincaré and Qin Zhiyuan spoke very casually: "I heard that you and Pierre had a fight, who won?" ”

"Who did you listen to?" Qin Zhiyuan's face immediately darkened, so the faint marks on his eye sockets could not be seen clearly.

"Hehe, needless to say, just look at Pierre's face, tsk, the one who dares to do it with His Majesty is probably Pierre." Poincaré didn't have much sense of distance from Qin Zhiyuan, just like when Qin Zhiyuan was in France.

The social status of the French is really amazing, whether it is the president or an ordinary person, in the final analysis, they are the same "people", such as Poincaré, who was the president of France with unlimited power a year ago, and now he is a very ordinary member of parliament, and for example, Millerand, who was also an ordinary member of parliament a year ago, is now the prime minister of France.

Therefore, compared with the Chinese world, the social status of the French is a bit vague, and it is not as clear as the Chinese world.

Of course, in France, if there is no background, without the help of nobles, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to mix in the class of parliamentarians, and in the final analysis, French politics is just a game for a small number of people.

In the corner of the banquet hall, Pierre and a few people sat around a few sofas, and the bruises on Pierre's face were still obvious.

Qin Zhiyuan had Misha and Julie to help heal his injuries, but Pierre didn't have this treatment, plus Foch and Annie's hair dryers, Pierre could be regarded as having suffered enough.

Although he learned a lesson, when he saw Qin Zhiyuan, Pierre was still not angry, and he sat on the sofa without any intention of getting up.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't mean to provoke, shook hands with a few people who got up to greet him, and then found a single sofa to sit down at random.

There are still familiar, there are two Corsican parliamentarians present, one is called Brian Jeremiah and the other is Jensen Jesse, in order to avoid suspicion, Qin Zhiyuan is not as close as the Corsican parliamentarian, this will be different, Qin Zhiyuan can still see reverence and fanaticism in the eyes of Brian and Jensen.

"We have decided that our party will be called the 'Social Democrats' and that we will become the 'Social Democrats', what about the name?" As soon as Poincaré sat down, he couldn't wait.

When Pierre first entered politics, he was very close to Poincaré, and after Poincaré stepped down from the presidency, Pierre and Poincaré's relationship remained the same, and it seems that the two are now ready to form a political party together to maintain this relationship.

"It doesn't matter what the name is, the key is your party program, as well as your long-term and short-term goals, have these been decided?" Qin Zhiyuan gave his opinion.

Qin Zhiyuan doesn't have much opinion on political parties, no matter how fanciful the name is, as long as it can't bring benefits to ordinary people, it will definitely be abandoned by the public.

Just after Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the banquet hall was a little wrong, the original whispering had all disappeared, and the accompaniment of the band was also intermittent, as if something extraordinary had happened.

Looking at the eyes of everyone, in the corner of the banquet hall, Emperor Taisho was relieved by the wall of the banquet, and Deshanel was whistling for Emperor Taisho next to him-

Well, although he was the initiator, but at this moment, Qin Zhiyuan really felt a fever on his face.
