Early the next morning, newspapers in France, such as Le Figaro, La Presse, and Le France Action, reported on the incident with explosive words such as "shady, criminal, and cover-up".

In the media coverage, Woodson's promise went unheeded, but the arrogance of the 45th Division was vividly displayed, and the spearhead was pointed at Nivelle and Mantin, and even Pétain, who was far away in Bordeaux, was splashed with sewage.

No way, who let the 45th Division now be in the Verdun theater of operations, and Petain is the former leader of the Verdun theater.

These reports come at a price, about a thousand francs each. Qin Zhiyuan paid for it all with a stroke of the pen, and asked to buy more pages, and to report on this matter at length.

At noon, Manjing and the commander of the 45th Division, Bill Bredris, jointly visited Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan received Manjing and Braderies in the small garden of **** manor.

The manor is a vineyard covering an area of about 10 hectares, which originally belonged to a nobleman, but now it has changed hands several times and has become a hotel, and Qin Zhiyuan chose this place as a temporary settlement.

It has to be said that if there was no World War I, Europe would indeed be a good place, and the living facilities would be advanced in the world. In this small estate, there is a small garden wrapped in glass, the garden is planted with out-of-season fruits, and the floor is covered with underfloor heating, which is warm and pleasant all year round.

"Well, it's so hot in here." Mangin was a grumpy old man who was known as the "Lion of the French Army".

"yes, I need to take off my coat." Bradries came in wearing an overcoat, and as soon as he entered the door, he took it off and handed it to the chamberlain.

"Please sit down and try the wine, it's nice." Qin Zhiyuan fulfilled the friendship of the landlord.

"Really? Let me taste it. Bredries was out of sight, and drank from his goblet.

"The taste is very average, not as good as my brew." Manjing finds fault, it seems that these two are singing white-faced and red-faced today.

"Qin, what you did made us very embarrassed, I'm curious, who gave you confidence." Manjing, who sang with a white face, took the lead in making trouble, and just drank Qin Zhiyuan's wine, he couldn't wait to settle the account, this was really putting down his chopsticks and scolding his mother.

"If the pursuit of justice is difficult for you, then I am also curious, who gave you rights?" Qin Zhiyuan was not worried about accidents, on the contrary, Qin Zhiyuan was afraid that he would not be able to get explosive news.

This is a very delicate moment of truth.

"My rights have nothing to do with you, they are the rights granted to me by the French War Department." Manjing spoke very politely, and unfortunately fell into Qin Zhiyuan's trap.

"You're wrong." Qin Zhiyuan's voice was not loud, and he had a feeling of controlling the audience: "France is a republic, and your rights come from the people, not from the War Department, because the power of the War Department also comes from the people." ”

At this time, the full name of France was the French Third Republic. As early as 1792, France established the First French Republic, and since then there have been frequent regime changes, successively experienced Napoleon's First French Empire, Louis XVIII's Restoration Dynasty, the French Second Republic, the Second French Empire, etc., until 1870, the French Third Republic was established to the present.

"Che, even if it's from the people, it's from the French people, what qualifications do you have?" Manking is not inferior.

Man Jing had never dealt with Qin Zhiyuan, and he didn't know Qin Zhiyuan's insidiousness. Just when Qin Zhiyuan was able to talk to Manjing and Braidres, on the surface, there were only three people, and Qin Zhiyuan didn't even have an attendant officer by his side, but in fact, Lance and Philip were hiding in the dark and eavesdropping through a copper pipe. Such an organ naturally comes from the hands of Hu Tingfeng, and Hu Tingfeng's subordinates are mostly talented people who are good at crooked ways.

"Whether I am qualified or not, I have to advise you that the people give you power, not for you to waste, but for you to protect the interests of the country. Marie was a French citizen, her husband and brother both died for their country in the war, and what you should do is protect her, not hurt her again. After Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he thought about it carefully before he decided: "By the way, Mary's husband and brother both served in the Fifth Division, and it was under your leadership that they sacrificed their lives for the country, strictly speaking, Mary is also your sister." ”

Qin Zhiyuan is revealing the scar, the fiasco of the Fifth Division has become a stain on Manjing's military career. The Fifth Division had led to a mutiny in the troops, and Mangin himself was dismissed. It was not until Nivelle replaced Pétain that Manking was reinstated, and Manking himself was ashamed of it.

"You!" Man Jing stood up angrily and glared at Qin Zhiyuan, his expression was like a hungry wolf who wanted to choose someone to devour: "No one wants to hurt Mary, that little brought it on himself, if it weren't for you yellow-skinned monkeys who seduced Mary, things wouldn't have gotten to this extent." ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... Calm down, we all need to calm down. Seeing that a fight was about to start, Bredries began to fight.

"You stupid bastard, do you know what you're talking about? You have insulted not only a great woman, but 450 million Chinese, and if you don't give me a sincere apology today, I'll throw gloves in your face. Qin Zhiyuan was furious.

Throwing gloves in the face of the other person is an extremely insulting gesture and is usually used to apply for a "duel", which means not to die.

"Dueling" has a long history in Europe and is considered a European custom. That is, when the mouth cannon can't hit others, the two sides will agree on a time and place, invite witnesses to be present, and then use weapons to decide the final victory. In the traditional European aristocratic duel, one side took off the white gloves to represent a duel of life and death, which was respected by the world and generally did not trigger revenge. The famous poet Pushkin died in a duel, which, of course, could have been avoided, and Pushkin was designed to die in a duel.

"Duel? You little bean sprouts, what can you do...... Miscellaneous...... Whatever! Manjing was visibly hesitant at the end.

Qin Zhiyuan is tall, nearly a head taller than Manjing, plus his body is strong, although his waist is not as thick as Manjing, his deterrent power is much higher than that of Manjing. The above is not the key, the key is that Man Jing is almost seventy years old this year, and letting him, an old man, go to a duel with twenty-year-old Qin Zhiyuan, this is simply murder.

"Hey, hey, aren't we here to solve the problem? Why talk about duels on? "Bradries couldn't do it, he really couldn't sing well with this red face.

"Yes, I'm a little bean sprout, so, now, I ask you to taste the power of the little bean sprout." Qin Zhiyuan said, took out a pair of gloves from his trouser pocket and smashed them into Manjing's face.

"Damn it!" Manjing dodged sideways, his movements extremely awkward.

"Please don't do that." Braderies tried his best to persuade that it was impossible for him to watch Qin Zhiyuan duel with Manjing.

Without fighting, thinking with his heels, Bredries can guess who wins and loses.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Manjing's attendants saw the conflict inside and rushed into the house with a shout.

"Stand back, don't force me to shoot!" Gao Hongshi suddenly drew his gun and blocked in front of Manjing's attendant officer.

Conflict is on the verge of breaking out.
