During the Republican period, the news media had a high degree of freedom.

During this period, the Beiyang government did not know how to control public opinion, and there was neither a news censorship system nor an entry threshold.

Basically, as long as a few people are gathered, a grass platform team is formed, two pieces of news are copied from other people's newspapers, and a printing house is found to print a copy of the "Inaugural Issue," and a so-called "newspaper office" can be regarded as open and open.

And because of the Chinese Dynasty's tolerance for "cultural people" for thousands of years, the people's trust in the newspaper is very high, almost they do whatever the newspaper says, which also leads to the gradual imbalance of the mentality of these media people, there is nothing they dare not do, and there is nothing they dare not scold.

In fact, there is such a special group of people in Chinese history, they are the imperial history who has the power of "rumors and rumors".

The reason why this profession is special is that it is not guilty of words.

"Rumors" means that as long as they hear about something, whether it has been verified or not, then they can report it to the court or make it public, without fear of any responsibility.

At present, in the news media of the Republic of China, many people regard themselves as "imperial history", and they can express their opinions on anything they want without worrying about taking responsibility.

This is also the fundamental reason why some time ago, almost all the media in China were swarming and smearing Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion.

The law doesn't blame the public......

But here in Qin Zhiyuan, this matter will definitely not be settled like this.

"For the irresponsible reports of some people in the Republic of China some time ago, whether they are out of public interest or bribed by others, they must pay the price for the bad impact they cause!" Qin Zhiyuan was murderous.

Price?

This was unexpected news.

At this time, there is no relevant law on news media reporting in the world, so journalists can expose other people's privacy without scruples, they can unscrupulously disseminate unverified reports, and they can justifiably claim to be "supervisors", but the media industry itself has lost its supervision.

"Qin, what are you going to do?" The reporter asked tentatively.

"As we all know, there must be a mastermind behind this matter, so this matter should actually rise to the legal level. But in the Republic of China, there is nothing I can do, because I am now a Frenchman, and I cannot interfere with the police system of the Republic of China, but I ask those so-called 'newspapers' and ' Journalists, 'Be careful, every word you say, every report you publish, I have a backup here, don't always think that the law is not responsible, it depends on who your enemy is, here in the Foreign Legion, no one has ever offended the Foreign Legion and then retreated, whether it is a year or ten years, whether it involves a thousand people or ten thousand, I will definitely investigate to the end! Qin Zhiyuan put on a posture of breaking the kettle.

The reporters looked at each other in silence, and they could almost foresee that their counterparts in the Republic of China were going to be unlucky this time.

"And I want to state here that all people, I mean all people, all countries, if they provide protection for those unscrupulous media people in the civil Republic in this matter, then they will be our Foreign Legion...... No, it's an enemy of our Grand Duchy of Lanfang, and that will definitely lead to a war! Qin Zhiyuan sneered again and again, as if he had seen the end of some people.

This is going to be endless, and the reporters present immediately adjusted their caution in their hearts about Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion, and they really can't afford to provoke such a guy who must report on the situation.

In fact, there are unspoken rules in the journalist industry, for example, if some reports involve some big people, then the editor's attitude is that they would rather suppress it than take risks, who knows if those big people will laugh it off, if it really incurs strong suppression by some forces, it seems that the powerful reporters have no ability to resist at all.

For example, for Qin Zhiyuan, European journalists are very cautious.

As early as after the Corsica dock incident, several British and French newspapers had reported on it, but almost on the same day, those newspapers were searched and asked to rectify them, and then within a few days, the rectification was not completed, and the newspapers involved in the reporting had changed hands, and all the editors and reporters involved in the reporting were swept away.

This is the power of capital, people don't talk to you about the newspaper, and they buy the newspaper directly, so that you don't have any room to make a voice at all.

And for some newspapers with national backgrounds, it's very simple, people don't talk to you either, and when it comes to a specific person, a crazy carriage on the street can put an end to all this.

Don't think that it can't be reached this level, even in the 21st century, such things will not happen less.

If it is specific to reality, Qin Zhiyuan was assassinated, although it was not successful, but Ludendorff did die under the assassin's gun, which is an indisputable fact. And just a few days ago, Villardum, who was forced to sign a collegial agreement to recognize Lanfang's independence, drowned in the bathtub of his own bathroom.

This is yet another murder.

"Qin, can we report it directly?" Some reporters were visibly frightened.

"Don't change a word! I did it, I will definitely admit it, and I will take responsibility. But if I don't do it, then the other party will be held responsible. Qin Zhiyuan didn't intend to hide it.

Even if it was not the turn of the cruel revenge for a while, Qin Zhiyuan would let his enemies live in fear.

Qin Zhiyuan just wants everyone to know that going against the Foreign Legion will definitely not end well.

In fact, before the emergence of Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion, the image of the Chinese in the international community was ugly, cowardly, cautious, and "peace-loving".

Ugly because of the big pigtails that don't fit in, cowardice because of no confidence, cautious because there is no strong motherland behind them, and as for "peace-loving", it is because they can't beat it......

This press conference is the first time Qin Zhiyuan has publicly voiced his voice, and it is also the first time that Lan Fang has spoken out in front of the world. Qin Zhiyuan must be tough, he must be retribution, and he must not flinch, because Qin Zhiyuan not only represents himself, but also represents the 200,000 soldiers of the Foreign Legion and the 7 million Chinese in Lanfang.

"Then Qin, will you go to Lanfang next?" A reporter digressed the subject.

The topic just now was so heavy that all the reporters felt uneasy, and I am afraid that their greatest relief now is: Fortunately, I did not unite with the foreign army......

Really, it's not so easy to tie the knot.

For the current Qin Zhiyuan, the general verbal attack on Qin Zhiyuan really doesn't take it to heart. As the saying goes, "all you can hurt are the people who love you", it is precisely because you care that you will be hurt, and it is precisely because you are too unconditional to give that it will make people feel unworthy of attention.

"Yes, I will go to Lanfang for a while, no matter what, the people there trust me, and since they believe in me, then they can't live up to this trust. In a while I will consider accepting the post of War Office, if by then the post of Governor of Indochina becomes vacant. "Qin Zhiyuan chatted about some light topics, and he couldn't keep dwelling on those unpleasant things.

"Haha, Qin, then you have to be careful, if I have a bad time in the position of Minister of the Army, maybe I will choose to go to the Far East, and the two of us will be neighbors when the time comes." Leothai smiled happily.

Look at the realm of other people, being a neighbor can rise to the national level, and if you want to visit the door, it is estimated that you have to take a plane.

"Hehe, of course that's good, maybe the three of us can still sit together like this by then." Qin Zhiyuan pointed out otherwise.

Together?

That's big news.

Qi Brush's arm was raised again.

"Your Excellency Marshal, listen to Qin's meaning, will you choose to go to Lanfang?" A reporter's face was full of curiosity.

"Oh yes, I have decided to accept Lan Fang's invitation to go to Lan Fang as an advisor to the military department." Foch understated, not even looking at the broken eyeballs.

Foch is now the commander-in-chief of the Entente and the only marshal of France, and if he himself serves as an adviser to the Lanfang military department, then the rank of the Lanfang military department is high enough.

"Hey, don't look at me with such surprise, I'll go to Lanfang, just because the salary they give me is high enough, and I've seen the house they prepared for me, it's beautiful, it's incomparable." Foch's eyebrows danced.

In order to advertise his son-in-law, Foch also spared no effort.

As the commander-in-chief of the Entente, Foch had reached the pinnacle of his life, and now that the world war was over, it was time for Foch to retire, and it would be out of place for Foch to stay any longer, because there was no suitable position for Foch to place him, and it would be an insult to Foch to hold any position.

Going to Lanfang is different, everyone knows the relationship between Foch and Qin Zhiyuan, Foch joining Lanfang can be seen as Foch's love for the younger generation, which is not a good story.

It's just that this kind of "good story" is not so friendly to the French War Department.

But the Minister of War Leotei was not good at expressing his position, and he had a good relationship with Qin Zhiyuan and Foch, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

"And what about Corsica? Qin, what about those institutes and factories on the island of Corsica? Will you move them back to Lanfang? "A journalist asks a sensitive question.

Since Wilson proposed the "Fourteen Points" principle, Corsica's position in France has become more and more sensitive.

Corsica is no longer the dispensable wilderness of two years ago.

Now Corsica, not only does not need a blood transfusion from the French government, but can already feed back to France, a clear example, just a penicillin factory has made the French government reap a lot of benefits.

What's more, there are two incomparably prosperous and beautiful cities on the island of Corsica, Thunder City and Trident City, which are rumored to be paradise on earth.

The current island of Corsica has the same status as a "dominion" in the French Republic.

Corsica pays taxes to France and is subject to the administration of the French government, but does not accept the presence of officials from the French government, nor does it accept the garrison of the French government, and everything in Corsica is decided by the two municipal councils of the cities of Thunder and Trident, and even the French government has no right to interfere.

Everyone knows the efforts made by Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion in Corsica for two years, if Qin Zhiyuan wants to evacuate the Chinese on Corsica, then Corsica may return to its previous state, which is what no one wants to see.

"No, no, Corsica is the Corsica of France, no one can change the location of Corsica, don't forget, I'm still French." Qin Zhiyuan took a firm stand.

Well, this is really a reassuring pill for everyone at the scene.
