In Europe, if you like, you can really buy an island and live a king's addiction.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan definitely didn't buy the island to get over the king's addiction, but to have a transit station, or a logistics base.
As Qin Zhiyuan's strength became stronger and stronger, Qin Zhiyuan needed a logistics base to provide security for the entire Chinese army, which was not to encircle land or even grab territory, but to have realistic needs.
Qin Zhiyuan could predict that the First Brigade might not return to Kapi for a long time, and in this case, Kapi's camp would be abandoned. The Bois de Boulogne was not a suitable base, it was too close to Paris to hide its every move, and the French War Office was not necessarily comfortable keeping a Foreign Legion near their capital.
Although at present the French government agencies have moved to Bordeaux.
Qin Zhiyuan also has a lot of secrets now, including the machine he bought from the old Renault, and the laboratory that will be established soon, these things are not suitable for the public, Qin Zhiyuan must have a stable and secret place to hide all this.
In France, if you want to buy an island, it is best to look for the old Renault. As old Renault, let alone buy an island, even if it is to buy the whole of Paris, as long as old Renault can afford it, the French will be happy to see it.
Qin Zhiyuan is different, Qin Zhiyuan is an Oriental, and if he wants to do something in France, it will inevitably make people think about it.
"You know, there are some things that I don't want too many people to know, such as the scrap steel that you sold me last time, which has not yet been loaded and shipped, and is piled up on the docks in Marseille, which is very unsafe, and I want to find a place to stay." Qin Zhiyuan is half-true and half-true.
The machines are still in Marseille and were not shipped away because they could not find a suitable vessel. Fortunately, with Huang Fugui in Marseille, Huang Fugui can handle these small things well, and even because of Huang Fugui's businessman's identity, it is more suitable than Hu Weide to come forward.
"If it's just a place to stay, isn't it the right place to stay?" Old Renault seemed to be smiling.
"If I pile up all that scrap steel here, do you feel like it's appropriate?" Qin Zhiyuan asked rhetorically.
Regarding the matter of scrap steel, Qin Zhiyuan and Lao Renault are grasshoppers on a rope, and they really want to make trouble in the city, and they can't get over their faces, so it's better to keep a low profile.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you ask, but don't get your hopes up, I'm afraid you can't find a big place, and the ones that can be sold are all islands and reefs, and the area won't be too big." Old Renault promised to help.
"Great, thank you very much." Qin Zhiyuan was satisfied.
As long as the old Renault agrees to help, what kind of specific can be found, that's another matter. Qin Zhiyuan wants to deepen the relationship with Lao Renault through this cooperative relationship. The Renault Group plays an important role in France, they not only have a complete military factory, but also a car factory, an aircraft factory, and now even a steel factory, which is more complete than the industrial system of many countries in the world, and it is several streets that have burst out of the new Republic of China.
Doing a good job in the relationship with the old Renault is of great significance to Qin Zhiyuan.
Seeing off Old Renault, Qin Zhiyuan drove to pick up Julie.
On the way, Qin Zhiyuan picked a few wildflowers......
Well, it's winter, there are no wild flowers, Qin Zhiyuan bought them from a family's garden for money.
After Foch moved to Paris, he lived in a villa allocated by the Ministry of Army, which was not far from Qin Zhiyuan's Black Swan Castle, who made the air fresh here.
The villa allocated by the army department, of course, cannot be compared with the castle that Qin Zhiyuan spent money to buy, but fortunately, the security is not bad, and there are guards stationed on the road to the villa area.
Qin Zhiyuan called Julie through the phone in the guardhouse.
Halfway through, Julie's voice came from the phone: "Qin, I'm afraid you're going to come over, Anne wants to see you." ”
Anne is Julie's mother, Qin Zhiyuan has heard of it for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to meet.
"Okay, wait for me in a minute." Qin Zhiyuan took a deep breath and calmed down.
Ugly daughters-in-law will inevitably see their in-laws, and foreign sons-in-law are the same, Qin Zhiyuan has already met Foch, and the meeting process is not pleasant, I don't know how Anne will treat Qin Zhiyuan, I hope I won't chase and kill with a feather duster, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to be embarrassed and thrown to Paris.
Along the deep forest path, Qin Zhiyuan drove to the front of Foch's house, and Julie was waiting on the side of the road.
Seeing Qin Zhiyuan coming, Julie ran over happily, and Qin Zhiyuan greeted him with a bouquet: "Give it to you, my princess." ”
"Don't give it to me, it's not me who you're going to please today." Julie grabbed Qin Zhiyuan's arm and began to ventilate: "Anne is a stern and kind person, she likes to be orderly and steady, so you talk less, listen more, and try to leave a good impression." Fortunately, Dad is at home today, and you have won Daddy's trust, and Dad and I will help you speak. ”
What an outgoing girl!
Qin Zhiyuan nodded again and again when he heard this, and he didn't forget to greet someone: "Gary, are you okay?" Gordon, you look so energetic today. Colvin, I didn't expect you to be there. ”
Gary and Gordon are both Foch's secretaries, and Qin Zhiyuan has known each other for a long time. Colvin was Foch's chief of staff, with the rank of major general, and after Nivelle came to power, Colvin was implicated by Foch and assigned to the War Department. These people are all descendants of Foch, and they are very kind when they see Qin Zhiyuan.
Through the battle for the commander-in-chief of the French army, although he failed to do so, Qin Zhiyuan has won the new appointment of Foch, which is a surprise.
"You're Qin?" Anne was knitting a sweater, looking at Qin Zhiyuan expressionless.
"Yes, I'm Qin Zhiyuan, it's a pleasure to meet you, madam." Qin Zhiyuan sent a bouquet.
"Aha, what a pretty flower." Foch's exaggerated exclamation.
"I'll go find a vase and put it in, Qin, you sit down first, what do you want to drink?" Julie got busy.
"Just plain water, thank you." Qin Zhiyuan is welcome.
Anne looked at Foch and Julie and shook her head speechlessly, Foch seemed to have completed the task after speaking, and picked up the newspaper to look at it, but looking at the degree of ear pricking, it was obvious that she was paying attention to this side.
"Qin, what is your family situation like?" Anne gets straight to the point.
"Uh...... My father died many years ago, before I was born. He used to be in the navy, sleeping with his beloved battleship. My mother chose to die after giving birth to me and followed my father. Now my family situation ...... I'm the only one left. Qin Zhiyuan organized the language and decided to tell the truth.
"God ......" Julie went to Qin Zhiyuan's side and held Qin Zhiyuan's hand to send warmth.
"Oh...... What a pity! Anne looked at Qin Zhiyuan's gaze with a little more sympathy.
Because of Foch, Anne's family is basically military, and two of them have sacrificed their lives for the country, Anne empathizes with Qin Zhiyuan's pain.
"So, what are you going to do when the war is over? Would you choose to stay in France? Anne asked.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I'm afraid I won't. Although I am alone, I still have my people and my comrades, and when the war is over, I will return to the Far East and continue to work hard for a better life for my people. Qin Zhiyuan didn't hide it.
"Return to the Far East? So what about Lily? Anne put down the half-knitted sweater in her hand and said in a loud voice.
Yes, what should Julie do after the war, Qin Zhiyuan finally has to face this problem.
