One thing is for sure, although the French believe in Christianity, they are definitely not the Virgin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the question of the Prince of Basel, the French did choose to remain silent, but that did not mean acquiescence.

If God wants to make people die, He will first make him mad.

The Prince of Basel is the one who has gone mad.

Probably the Prince of Basel would never have thought that the idea of the French was that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches would be behind. Just after Gu Xingbang and his team took control of the city of Tunis, an unidentified commando team attacked the palace of the city of Tunis, killing 27 members of the royal family, including King Mohammed Nader of Tunis, and then pouring sewage on Basel's head.

Poor Basel still dreamed of ascending to the throne of Tunis, but he did not expect to die before he could get out of the army, and was thrown into prison by the French as soon as he returned to the city of Tunis, before entering the palace.

A coup d'état is actually a very normal thing, but for the sake of power, it is brazen to attack one's own relatives, and it is such a cruel method, this has exceeded the bottom line of people, neither the French nor the Tunisians will accept a person like Basel as the king of Tunisia.

After the "coup d'état", looking at the former Tunis royal family, except for the Nader line, which has been killed, and the Nasser line, which has lost the right to inherit the throne, people are shocked to find that the entire Tunis Si has the right to inherit only a side branch of the royal family named Adile, this Prince Adil is 35 years old this year, although he has a group of wives and concubines, but has no children.

If you are in a hurry, you can continue to work hard if you don't have children, and now there is no better choice, so you should succeed to the throne first, and then say, the country can't be without a king for a day.

Before Prince Adil succeeded to the throne, he did not have any political resources, nor even any economic strength, and his life was limited to the level of ordinary Tunisian nobles, so it was very much in the interests of all parties for such a person to succeed to the throne.

And Prince Adile was hit by such a big pie out of thin air, and now there are no more demands, and even under the auspices of the French, Tunis has no opinion on the transformation from a monarchy to a democratic state with a constitutional monarchy, so it is a happy thing for all.

Just as the dust settles over the battle between the Tunisian royal family, people are shocked to find that United Oil, which has been silent throughout the whole incident, has become the biggest winner.

When the Prince of Basel was imprisoned, the Basel Petroleum Development Company was ordered to dissolve, and 27 of the 35 oil wells in the six oil fields controlled by the Basel Petroleum Development Company are now under the control of the United Oil, and the remaining eight belong to the newly emerging brotherly alliance, and the island of Djerba, which was once leased by the United Oil Company to the Tunisian government, has now completely become the property of the United Oil Company and has nothing to do with the Tunisian government.

"You're so insidious, I'm going to think about the possibility of working with you now." After learning of this incident, Leothai expressed his opinion to Qin Zhiyuan in a half-joking way.

At the time of saying this, Leotey and Qin Zhiyuan were in the Governor's Palace in Saigon, which was Leotah's base camp in Annam and the political and economic center of French Indochina.

Leotai has decided to join forces with Qin Zhiyuan to take Siam, and there is more work to be done, so Leothai and Qin Zhiyuan have been in Saigon all this time, which is closer to Siam and not as sensitive as Cam Ranh Bay.

Gao Hongshi reported to Qin Zhiyuan about the situation in Cam Ranh Bay, according to the intelligence of the Lanfang National Security Bureau, among the 70,000 people in Cam Ranh Bay, more than 100 people are serving the intelligence departments of Britain and the United States and other countries, and these people are currently under the monitoring of the Lanfang State Security Bureau.

At this time, in fact, both Qin Zhiyuan and Leotai are eye-catching, the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Leotai is not a secret, France and Lan Fang have emphasized their alliance with each other on different occasions, so if Qin Zhiyuan and Leotai are together, even if they just have a cup of tea to catch up with the old days, they can be interpreted by people A lot of symbols, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to live in the spotlight, so it's better to hide in Saigon.

Lan Fang is a country of immigrants, so the composition of Lan Fang people living in Cam Ranh Bay is complex, and it is normal to have agent activities, but Saigon is different, except for the French here is the Annamite, Leotah's power is unimaginable, Leotah's Governor's Palace is like an independent city, there will be no interference, and there will be no "idle people, etc."

"The French government is no better than me on this issue, so don't call me insidious, and see what your congressional veterans have done?" Qin Zhiyuan was dismissive of Leotai's duties, let's talk about this matter, don't talk about the second brother.

"What a disgusting creature a politician is!" Leotey did not deny Qin Zhiyuan's words, and scolded the French Congress from top to bottom in one sentence.

Although Leotai has been a minister of the army, he is still a soldier after all, and he is really not close to the "creature" of politicians, which is also an important reason why Leotai and Qin Zhiyuan can maintain friendship, although Qin Zhiyuan is not very upright, but he will not be double-faced, and he is not vain, a real villain gives a much better impression than a hypocrite.

"That's why you're here in Saigon?" Qin Zhiyuan was a little curious.

With Leotah's qualifications and status, Leothai could have won the same honor as Foch and then retired with honor, but Leothai did not, although he was already 65 years old, Leothai still traveled all the way from France to French Indochina to contribute his last ability to France.

In real history, Leotey had only been Minister of War for just over three months, and before the world war was over, Leotey had enough of the criticism of right-wingers, resigned and returned to Morocco to continue his colonial career.

"Not exactly, the correct reason should be curiosity about Lan Fang, and curiosity about you, I do want to know, how did you get Lan Fang into the way she is, the Dutch don't talk about it, Japan, Russia, Britain - none of them are easy to mess with." Leothai didn't hide his curiosity and wanted to find the answer from Qin Zhiyuan.

As an excellent colonial soldier, Leotai knew that it was not easy to conquer the colony, so Leotai was very curious about Qin Zhiyuan.

By the way, the last time the French returned to Madagascar, Leoté was one of them and was in charge of the attack on the third sector in the south of Madagascar, and it took Leoté two years to finally conquer the Malagasy people.

"It's really hard to mess with, but so what? They are not monolithic, as long as they are human beings, they will have weaknesses, see if you can catch them, in fact, you don't have to look for answers from me, your answers are in your heart, just ask yourself. "Qin Zhiyuan is not proud, and he doesn't have much to share with Leotai.

"Hahahaha-yes, the answer is in our hearts, so the current Siam is our test subject." Leotey expressed his self-confidence with a wild laugh, in terms of conquering foreign races, Leothai does have this qualification, and now in France, no one can do better than Leotey in opening up colonies.

In this way, Leothai and Qin Zhiyuan are a strong combination, and it is really sad to say that the Siamese escaped the first conquest of the British and French, but they also had these two guys who had a strong interest in "colonialism".

"Speaking of test subjects, what advice do you have for Pierre?" Qin Zhiyuan is still very considerate of his eldest brother.

Pierre, who had now gone to Madagascar and became the Viceroy of Madagascar, began to try to turn Madagascar into a truly French territory.

Pierre travels to Madagascar with a colonial pioneer group sent by various Parisian interests, who are like villains who have finally escaped from prison and turned Madagascar into the latest carnival playground.

Leoté, having participated in the last French conquest of Madagascar, was an important assistant to Gallerieni at the time, was quite familiar with the situation in Madagascar, and was certainly qualified to give Pierre advice.

"Be convinced, keep your intentions, remember the purpose of going to Madagascar, and if you persevere, Pierre will succeed." Leothai gave a generic answer and did not mention specific recommendations.

"To be specific?" Qin Zhiyuan chased after him.

"To be specific? It depends on Pierre's positioning, if you just want to mix up some qualifications and make your resume look better, it doesn't matter, even if you stay in Paris and don't take office. But if you want to do something, you need a certain opportunity, and the Malagasy people are still very difficult to do, and the people there are a bit of a tendon, and they will not look back on what they have identified, and they will not accept the advice of others, so they must be tough and make them understand that France will never compromise. Leothai seemed to be remembering a not-so-good memory, and his expression was a little sad.

"That's true." Regarding the stubbornness of the Malagasy people, Qin Zhiyuan learned something from Manantenina's battle report.

"Speaking of Madagascar, you sent a Foreign Legion, what do you want to do? Turn there into a second Corsica? Leotai asked along with Qin Zhiyuan's meaning, and there was also a hint of warning.

Many people have noticed the current situation in Corsica, not so much that Corsica still belongs to France, but that Corsica is now an enclave of Lanfang, and ninety percent of the residents living in Corsica are Chinese, whether they are policemen, civil servants, or even parliamentarians, there are Chinese, Leothai can guarantee that Qin Zhiyuan's words are more useful in Corsica than Millerand's.

What a depressing reality.
