In fact, the relationship between the Beiyang government and the Japanese at this time was quite good.

Many people in the Beiyang Department have studied in Dongying, so their sense of the country has always been good, so to a certain extent, there are many "pro-Japanese factions" in the Beiyang Department.

The tendency to study abroad can be seen from the choice of international students, only if you admire a country, you will go to that country to study, and I have never heard of anyone studying in Africa.

As for KMT, there are even more "pro-Japanese factions" in their party, after all, their party leaders were funded by the Japanese when they were against the Qing Dynasty, and they also have a good impression of Japan as a country.

The Japanese have also performed well when they want to deliberately encircle the government of the Republic of China, so compared to Western countries, the reputation of the Japanese in the Republic of China is still good so far.

Xu Duan and others, who are the leaders of the Beiyang government, are not without vigilance against the Japanese, and they also know that the Japanese are wolf ambitions, but they still say that when a weak country has no diplomacy and is not as strong as others, it is all tears when they talk too much.

That night, Qin Zhiyuan received a telegram from the Beiyang government, asking Qin Zhiyuan to hand over the arrested Japanese to Akashi Genjiro for processing, and Akashi Genjiro's chief of staff was staying in front of Qin Zhiyuan's operational command department at that time, waiting to bring them back.

What does that mean...... Is it forced to the palace?

Qin Zhiyuan's heart was on fire, and while letting Pierre deal with the chief of staff of Akashi Genjiro, he ordered Mao Shibai to immediately shoot all the 17 Japanese who committed the crime.

It is said that these two soldiers who plotted against each other will not be guilty of death, and the mistakes they made are not even as big as those of the Japanese who fought against the guards, but since they want to tear their faces, they simply do nothing and simply block all the back roads.

So when the triumphant chief of staff went to the Romini hospital to pick up the people, he saw corpses all over the ground, as well as a group of onlookers of war correspondents.

Seeing the Japanese officers coming, those war correspondents rushed up.

"Sir, please explain why this happened." This is a decent question.

"Sir, do you think that the root cause of this matter is the inferior nature of the Yamato nation?" This question has a certain orientation, and everyone knows the reporter who asked the question, Philip of The News.

"Sir, it has been less than a week since I arrived in France, and such a vicious incident has happened, how do you feel?" The question comes from Lance, a journalist for Le Figaro.

Le Figaro and Clemenceau are not very compatible, but Clemenceau is not a disadvantage to Le Figaro, and in this respect, the French are indeed more democratic, and they have free rules of the game.

Akashi Genjiro's face was pale, and he didn't answer any questions, so he directly ordered someone to collect the body, got into the car and ran away.

Pierre didn't have to run, and Pierre was surrounded by reporters, and a bunch of unscrupulous reporters threw these questions at him.

"First of all, I must affirm that as a soldier, a soldier with a sense of justice, Qin will never tolerate anyone who makes a mistake......" Such an opportunity cannot be missed, Pierre talked eloquently, praised Qin Zhiyuan, and stepped on the Japanese by the way.

Anyway, his face has been torn, and it doesn't matter if he says a few more words, Pierre has never been a good person.

For Pierre, Qin Zhiyuan, who has become a French citizen, is his own person, and the Japanese are outsiders.

But this is not the case for everyone, after all, the Japanese also came all the way to help in the war, and the Japanese ambassador to France also has good friends with parliamentarians in Bordeaux, so there are still some discordant voices.

A little later, Qin Zhiyuan received a call from Leotai.

"Qin, you are too impulsive...... "As soon as Leotai spoke, he didn't mean to blame Qin Zhiyuan, only a thick complaint, just like Qin Zhiyuan's whining tone: "You did this, making my work very passive, and now the Japanese government has protested to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, demanding fair treatment, and demanding that these people be transferred out of your defense area." The British were also not satisfied, they said that we had ruined the friendship between the allies, and demanded an explanation from us, you really stabbed the big Lou! ”

Diplomacy is really no trivial matter, especially in such a critical period, a small unpleasantness is likely to lead to catastrophic consequences, and Leothai has to cheer up and insist on working without sleeping at night.

"Louie, it's not impulsive, but those who deserve it, and if they don't correct their minds thoroughly, they'll poke out a bigger basket, which is nothing compared to the war in Reims. Also, don't complain to me when you're fine, I just did what I had to do, and see who you gave me? To such a unit as the 6th Division, I would rather not, if they want to be transferred, then it is better to transfer it, Perandus, North Africa, Isonzo, wherever they go. Qin Zhiyuan does not fall behind in his mouth.

What is certain is that Qin Zhiyuan is definitely qualified to complain to Leothai now. In Leotai's position, his task was to coordinate logistics for front-line generals like Qin Zhiyuan, so that Qin Zhiyuan and them would fight the Germans wholeheartedly without worries.

From another point of view, this kind of thing is not Qin Zhiyuan's problem, the problem is the Japanese, Qin Zhiyuan is very confident, and the French will not treat him well.

Of course not, the French commander-in-chief Foch has not yet made a sound, which fully shows Foch's attitude.

"Well, even if those people deserve it, then who has the right to punish them? It's not you, it's not me, it's going to be dealt with by a military court, if the military court sentences them to death, then they deserve it, if the military court feels that they don't deserve to die, then they will also be punished, what are you doing now? "Leothai insists on upholding procedural justice.

Westerners attach great importance to "procedural justice", and their analysis of rights and responsibilities is meticulous, and there is generally no overstepping the line.

This division of rights and responsibilities is not good or bad, but it leads to some ironic facts, such as in many European countries, if you find a thief in your house, then you have no right to catch the thief, but to say to the thief, "Please don't move, I have called the police, wait for the police to come and arrest you......"

The thief will be tied up to die.

"To tell you the truth, I don't believe that those military courts, those and will not sentence them to death at all, at most they will be sent back to their hometowns, I don't want my nurse to have grievances, then she may vent her grievances on the wounded." Qin Zhiyuan showed no mercy.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Pay attention to your words. Leotey was a little annoyed.

Of course, Leotai will be annoyed and angry, although Leotai will not appear in court, but nominally Leotai is the president of the military court, and Qin Zhiyuan is tantamount to scolding Leotai into it.

"I'm sorry Louie, I'm not targeting you, you know what I mean." Qin Zhiyuan immediately apologized, he had forgotten about Leotai's relationship with the military tribunal just now.

Leothai on the other end of the "......" phone was silent.

Leothai had nothing to say.

During this time, the military tribunal was secretly trying the cases of the French mutiny some time ago, and tens of thousands of people were found guilty, but only a few hundred were punished, and many more were repentant in prisons and colonies.

The French government and the War Ministry have issued a gag order, and everyone is not allowed to "mutiny" for a period of time in advance, as if they had not happened.

But how is this possible for active duty servicemen!

"In short, do what you should be doing right now and don't make my work more passive. If possible, I'd like you to be in my place and feel the torment. Leotai could only say a few words without pain or itching, and there was nothing he could do about Qin Zhiyuan.

The victorious will never be blamed, if Qin Zhiyuan can drive the French out of French territory, let alone Leotei, all the French will be grateful to Qin Zhiyuan, even if Qin Zhiyuan shoots all the Japanese, Qin Zhiyuan is still a hero of France.

Just finished the call with Leotah, Foch's call came in again.

"Qin, tomorrow you will get two new editors. At the same time, the War Council decided that from now on, you will be the commander of the Foreign Legion, do a good job, and those who love you will be disappointed. Foch didn't say a word of blame, and expressed his support for Qin Zhiyuan with actions.

"Thank you, Ferdinand, thank you very much." Qin Zhiyuan came from the bottom of his heart.

Even if Foch is Qin Zhiyuan's father-in-law, during working hours, Qin Zhiyuan still has to call Foch by his name directly, which has nothing to do with equality, but a clear distinction between public and private.

In fact, the Foreign Legion has existed in name only so far, and the Foreign Legion seems to be still in its entirety, but in fact, the Algerian Foreign Legion General Headquarters is only an empty shell, and the troops in Europe, except for the Chinese and Annamite, basically participated in the "mutiny" some time ago, if it weren't for Qin Zhiyuan, maybe France would have abolished the Foreign Legion.

Since in fact, the remaining men and horses of the Foreign Legion are in Qin Zhiyuan's hands, then the War Committee simply appointed Qin Zhiyuan as the commander of the Foreign Legion, and Foch must have done a lot of work.

"Don't thank me, you deserve it, but I'm afraid you'll have to work harder, because the current Foreign Legion headquarters is a mess, and it is estimated that you will have to go to Algeria in a while, and the reconstruction work will be long." Foch was a little sorry.

Qin Zhiyuan and Julie's marriage is scheduled for Christmas, if Qin Zhiyuan goes to Algeria during the "winter break", then he and Julie will definitely get together more and leave less, and Foch will inevitably be complained by Julie.

However, compared to the Foreign Legion, Julie's complaint is simply not worth mentioning, and when the time comes, Qin Zhiyuan can take Julie to Algeria and feel the taste of a "soil emperor".

At this time, the French were really like the emperor of the colonies.

Qin Zhiyuan's execution of several Japanese in France may trigger a chain reaction in all aspects. But if Qin Zhiyuan shot some locals in the colonies in Algeria, even if he shot a thousand people, no one would say that Qin Zhiyuan didn't say a word.

Don't think that the "freedom, equality" that the French talk about is for everyone, for the French, the colony natives are not human at all.
