A king or emperor is a very special profession. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It seems that in the traditional sense, the profession of emperor is lonely.

The emperor has no friends, no family affection, or even no feelings, and the emperor is born lonely, so he will "call the lonely and the widow", and must also "call the lonely and the widow".

In Qin Zhiyuan's view, the state of "calling lonely and widowed" is the standard mentality of small countries and widows.

As mankind entered the 20 th century, the development of productive forces became higher and higher, the social division of labor became more and more detailed, and the relations between countries became closer and closer.

Under this premise, the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economic model is actually bankrupt, and the only result of closing the country is destruction, so even a strong country needs enough allies to survive.

Because the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion, Lan Fang and France is still in the honeymoon period, and Lan Fang and France have also signed a series of cooperation agreements, so the relationship between Lan Fang and France is now an ally, and it is the strongest relationship.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the relationship between the leaders of the two countries.

When Qin Zhiyuan and Clemenceau met, Qin Zhiyuan was being squeezed out by Nivelle, who was then the commander-in-chief of the French army, and Clemenceau was also politically suppressed, and they had the same interests, so they could come together.

But when Clemenceau came to power, although the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Clemenceau was not bad, it was by no means as good as when Clemenceau did not come to power, or when he first came to power, because Clemenceau and Qin Zhiyuan needed each other's support at that time, so they had to huddle together to keep warm.

Now it seems that they are both full-fledged, and naturally their need for each other is not so high.

Comparatively speaking, the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Raymond Poncarlet is better now, because the relationship between United Oil Company and the relationship maintained by interests is indeed stronger and closer.

After all, Raymond is 60 years old, and his political life is only a handful, even if Raymond and Qin Zhiyuan can maintain a good relationship all the time, what about when Raymond dies?

Qin Zhiyuan must have more friends in France, so that Lan Fang and France can still maintain a close relationship after Raymond's generation retreats into the background.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan supported Pierre in politics.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan knew that the "supermarket" would become a super profit tool, and he still included it in the business unit of the LLL Group.

In a sense, it's also an investment.

"Qin, I think, I know what you want to do, if you need my help, please don't be polite." Bruno gives a promise.

"Even if I want to do something, it's not now, let's move forward together and see what happens." Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to be poor yet.

"I hate the Germans, and I'm going to beat Germany into a tribal state. I still hate the British, and I'm going to drive the English leper out of Europe, so that they no longer dare to interfere in anything that happens on the continent. "Bastian sounds like he's drunk a little too much.

The relationship between Britain, France, and Germany was complicated, and Bastian's generation was born just after the Franco-Prussian War, when France was defeated and the whole country was overshadowed by Prussia.

It can be said that Bastian was just born and was tasting the bitter fruits of war.

The defeated France was forced to pay the Prussians 5 billion francs, and if the war losses were added, the French losses exceeded 20 billion francs, and that was in the days when francs were still linked to gold.

At the same time, France was forced to cede part of Alsace and Lorraine to Prussia, and before all war reparations could be paid off, the Prussians occupied six provinces north of the French.

Let's see, is it similar to the First Sino-Japanese War.

The relationship between Britain and France was even more peculiar, with the Hundred Years' War between the two countries.

It was really the Hundred Years' War, fought intermittently for 116 years, from 1337 to 1453.

It's a feud.

The British have shattered the French dream of dominating Europe several times, and it is precisely because of the existence of Britain that Europe will be torn apart, and the French have enough reason to hate the British.

Even if they had just defeated the Germans as allies.

The hatred of the French for the British was even deeper than for the Germans.

"The Germans have already been defeated, they are not a threat, now the threat is the British and their cubs, the Americans." Qin Zhiyuan was blunt.

"Ahahahaha...... Qin, you are wrong, the Americans are not the little cubs of the British, the United States is the little cubs of all Europe. Bastian burst into laughter.

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan was not wrong, the United States was originally a British colony, and the main body of their population was British, so Americans can be regarded as the sons of the British.

Bastian was not wrong when he said that at the time of American independence, France, or all of Europe, except for Britain, gave help to the Americans, and without the help of Europe, the American War of Independence could not have gone so smoothly.

Of course, the Americans knew why the Europeans were helping them, and Europe at that time was trying to dismantle the British Empire on the one hand, and gradually control the nascent United States on the other.

It is a pity that the British had enough experience in colonial affairs to give up decisively when they found that the independence of the United States was uncontainable.

So, the Americans are not grateful to the Europeans.

"Qin, your ambition is really not small, do you want to start a war with the whole world?" Bruno smirked.

"How can it be ......" Qin Zhiyuan denied it, his expression was extremely sincere: "I am for the better life of the people of Lanfang, think about it, the world is so big, the British occupy the most extensive colonies, so British products are not worried, and the Americans have the strongest industrial production capacity in the world, so Americans are not afraid of competition, so what does Lanfang have?" Will it continue to be the world's largest producer of raw materials? ”

What Qin Zhiyuan said was nine points true and one point false, making it difficult to guess his true intentions.

"Besides, I don't want to start a world war in order to seek colonies like that madman like Wilhelm II, I just want to find more sales for Lan Fang's products, you know, Lan Fang is not capable of starting a war now, and France is the same, we all need to recuperate." Qin Zhiyuan has a clear understanding.

After listening to what Qin Zhiyuan said, Bruno let out a sigh: "It's best if you think so, I really thought you were crazy...... Of course, I know that you are now the king, you have just taken the small half of Siberia, and now you have troops fighting in Moscow, and you are facing more temptations than I do...... In other words, are you really going to return that land to the Republic of China? ”

When Qin Zhiyuan launched the Northern Expedition, he played the banner of recovering the occupied land, and when Qin Zhiyuan explained to Raymond Poencaré and Lloyd George, he wanted to return those lands to the Republic of China, so the British and French would support Qin Zhiyuan's Northern Expedition, so the Japanese did not dare to make trouble from it.

Relations between the Japanese and Europe were not good during this time.

Because of the world war, the Japanese saw the weakness of Europe and further reduced their reverence for Europe.

The world war provided enough benefits to Japan, the Japanese had a debt of 300 million yen before the war, and now they have a debt of 1.65 billion yen.

When the poor have money in their pockets, their waists will harden, and so will the state when they have money.

In particular, the white-eyed wolves like the Japanese, who took advantage of the fact that the European powers were too busy with the world war to look eastward, seized most of the interests of European countries in China, and now they have only one purpose, that is, to monopolize East Asia, or it can be further clarified that the Japanese want to monopolize the market of the Republic of China.

You must know that the current exports to China account for one-third of Japan's total exports, so Japan does not want to lose the Republic of China market in any case, even if the market share shrinks, the Japanese will not be able to accept it.

Britain, France, and the United States, of course, also discovered the expansion of Japanese ambitions, and supported Lan Fang's northern expedition, which was a way for the European powers to beat Japan.

"If the Republic of China has the ability to hold on to where it is, of course it will be returned to the Republic of China." Qin Zhiyuan swore an oath, but he still left enough room for operation.

"Ability to hold", this sentence is very promising.

"Hahaha...... You cunning fellow. Bruno laughed, this time he didn't dare to drink, Bruno had palpitations.

"No one can say what the future holds, but I hope that in another 30 years, we will still be able to sit together and talk as freely as we do now, but I hope that we can talk about something happy then." Qin Zhiyuan prepares to close the net.

"Who can say for sure what will happen in 30 years, and we will have to say both about it when the time comes." Bruno cunningly cunningly.

"Qin, don't worry, if there is another war, I hope to still stand with you, because then we will always win." Bastian is more honest.

After more than two years of war, Bastian now has formed a deep-rooted trust in Qin Zhiyuan, and there is no better commitment than this.

"Of course, we're going to keep winning, no matter who we face." Qin Zhiyuan is confident.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan did not ignore the worry in Bruno's eyes: "Don't worry, Bruno, I have always been a rational person and don't do things that I am not sure of." Now Lanfang needs to develop, and France needs to recuperate, so I won't provoke a war, at least not now. ”

At the level of Qin Zhiyuan and the two Garcias, the general difficulty was not challenging for them, only the hellish difficulty could make them feel their blood boiling.

Qin Zhiyuan has a clear understanding of the current situation, and the current Lan Fang does not have the ability to provoke a war alone.

And the world war cost France an entire generation, and France is now incapable of starting a war.

And the Germans, Qin Zhiyuan's other allies, are still waiting for the verdict of the League of Nations, and their situation is even more miserable.

The League of Nations, which is a global body proposed by US President Wilson the other day, Germany was excluded from the League of Nations, and Lan Fang, who has been invited to be part of the League of Nations.
