The next day, Puencaré's telegram finally arrived.
It can be seen that Poincaré's wording is very cautious, and he did not say anything about the "dock incident" in the telegram, and did not even mention it, but only encouraged Qin Zhiyuan and asked Qin Zhiyuan to stabilize the situation in Corsica as soon as possible.
Qin Zhiyuan understood what Puengarai meant, and Puencarai was thinking about the future.
The "dock incident", no matter how whitewashed, could not hide the fact that the troops affiliated with France opened fire in the face of their own people. Of course, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't matter, Qin Zhiyuan is not French, after the war, Qin Zhiyuan will return to the Far East, and no one can settle accounts with Qin Zhiyuan after the autumn.
But Poincaré is different, although Poincaré is now president, there is always a time when Poincaré will leave office, and Poincaré will have to guard against his successor to settle accounts after the fall, so he will not leave any evidence.
In other words, Poincaré was ready to let Qin Zhiyuan take the blame for him.
Well, for Poingarai, Qin Zhiyuan couldn't resist for the time being, so he could only acquiesce.
From the second day, Qin Zhiyuan began to set out to restore order in the city of Ajaccio.
The first was the defense of the port, and Qin Zhiyuan sent a platoon of troops to garrison the lighthouse, the tallest building in the port, and placed a company in the nearby castle. Lighthouses are able to get support quickly when needed.
Then there was urban security, and Qin Zhiyuan once again sent a company to the police station in Ajaccio to strengthen the police force.
Before Qin Zhiyuan and the others arrived in Ajaccio, there were only five people in the police station here, and after the "dock incident", four of these five people ran away, and only the hard-pressed police chief did not dare to run.
The chief of police, a native of France, had nowhere to go in Ajaccio, and there were no ships for the past two days. So the police chief hasn't run away yet. Otherwise, it is estimated that the police station will flee in general.
This company is not only responsible for dealing with emergencies, but also for reinstating patrols in Ajaccio.
In other words, in Qin Zhiyuan's opinion, Ajaccio is really pitifully small. The so-called city has only one main street. There are about three or four small streets next to it, and the whole city is in the shape of "Feng", and there are less than 2,000 people in the city, so there is not much pressure on public security.
Therefore, for Qin Zhiyuan, his main task is to emigrate. Bringing together the ordinary people scattered in the mountains to Ajaccio will not only make it easier to manage, but also to carry out the next steps.
At Qin's request, Eric and Hubert found more than 30 locals and formed five teams to go in different directions to persuade the peasants to move their families to Ajaccio.
Although Hubert had the courage to accuse Qin Zhiyuan to his face, when Qin Zhiyuan asked Hubert to carry out the order, Hubert did not show much resistance. Perhaps this is because Hubert has already seen Qin Zhiyuan's ruthlessness, and this overlord of the East will not hesitate to kill the French.
Mixia's attitude towards Qin Zhiyuan is still bad, since the dock incident. When facing Qin Zhiyuan, he didn't have the slightest smile, even when he helped Qin Zhiyuan make coffee, he was also businesslike, and he no longer had the tenderness he had before.
In this regard, Qin Zhiyuan expressed helplessness, but Qin Zhiyuan was not ready to repent. For Qin Zhiyuan, although the love of children is indispensable, it will always be just a concoction, and it is impossible for Qin Zhiyuan to change his plan for Mixia.
"Qin Ye, the newspapers in Paris are not quite right these days, and some newspapers have reported the 'dock incident' a few days ago in cryptic language. The wind of public opinion is not very favorable to us, and we have to think of a way. "Huang Fugui is now responsible for contacting Old Renault, and everything that happens in Paris, Old Renault will report it to Qin Zhiyuan in time.
"Let old Renault think. If he can't control public opinion in Paris, then he, the richest man in France, is too incompetent. "Qin Zhiyuan won't bother about this kind of thing.
Just a few days ago, Le Figaro published a special issue of 1916, in which Louis Reynaud's personal wealth was the largest in France, and he was truly the richest man in France. And the Huang Bohan that Qin Zhiyuan knew was even more powerful. His personal wealth is the 14th largest in the world, which is astonishing.
In fact, Qin Zhiyuan's personal wealth is also a lot now, but because Qin Zhiyuan's expenses are also large, he is not on the list. But if a personal income ranking can be launched, I believe Qin Zhiyuan has a chance to be on the list.
Not everyone gets a fixed $2 million a month, not even Renault Sr.
Sooner or later, the newspaper will report on the "dock incident", and Qin Zhiyuan is psychologically prepared.
But Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care too much about this, look at the people who cooperate with Qin Zhiyuan, Old Renault, Foch, Huang Bohan, and His Majesty the Pope who is far away in the Vatican, these people are all supernatural people, and they are all leaders in their respective fields, if you explore carefully, Qin Zhiyuan is more sure than Poencaré to get away with it.
"Would you like to contact Philip and Lance and ask them to speak for us." Huang Fugui made a suggestion.
Qin Zhiyuan's current communication has been further expanded, not only limited to the "Le Figaro" and "News" in France, Qin Zhiyuan has also contacted the "Reuters" in the United Kingdom, the "Washington Post" and the New York Tribune in the United States, etc., these media will become the most effective way to publicize Qin Zhiyuan.
"No, what we have to do now is to downplay this matter, we don't need to do anything, naturally someone will stand up for us." Qin Zhiyuan saw it thoroughly.
In this matter, Poincaré and Qin Zhiyuan are on the same front, and even if they dig deeper, Poincaré will have to pay more responsibility. Qin Zhiyuan won't worry about this matter, if the trouble is out of control, it's a big deal Qin Zhiyuan patted his ass and went back to the Far East, no one can help him.
Sure enough, from the next day, all the news about Corsica disappeared without a trace, the newspaper headlines were occupied by the humanitarian catastrophe that took place in Russia, and Corsica was once again forgotten in a corner.
The winter of 1916 was particularly difficult for Petersburg. The snow fell heavily this year, the temperature was very low, and in Petersburg thousands of steam locomotives exploded because they froze. The lack of access to the railways had serious consequences, with factories halted due to lack of resources, and workers wandered the streets with nothing to do; Although there is still noodles in the bakery, it cannot be baked without fuel; Women queued for hours in the snow and wind to receive food rations, so they looted in droves.
Among the tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in St. Petersburg, many are untrained recruits, who have not undergone rigorous training, are not mature enough in terms of skills and psychology, are full of despair about the future, and have accumulated distrust of Russia. Some agitators took the opportunity to launch a long speech to the recruits, calling on them to come forward and carry out a revolution that would overthrow the Tsar and put an end to this hopeless war.
At the beginning of the new year, when the young Democratic Socialist Alexander Korensky proposed for the first time in the State Duma that the Tsar abdicate, the Duma members cheered and collectively decided to protect Alexander Korensky.
St. Petersburg is already showing signs of chaos.
