(Thanks to the evaluation votes of the friends of the Broken Spirit Sky, and thanks to the two friends Gu Qinfei and the sword in the chest for the rewards, the fish head will continue to work hard to make the friends happy.) )
Qin Zhiyuan is not afraid of making things bigger.
The bigger the trouble, the more beneficial it will be to Qin Zhiyuan.
In fact, in the car behind Qin Zhiyuan, Lance and Philip were nervously recording. They were invited by Qin Zhiyuan to follow the first travel movement as military reporters.
Through the hype some time ago, Lance and Philip formed a "deep friendship" with Qin Zhiyuan, and Qin Zhiyuan has promised that Qin Zhiyuan will still pay 1,000 francs per piece for news reports about the First Brigade.
For Lance and Philip, Qin Zhiyuan is a gold mine. Where Qin Zhiyuan appears, there is never a shortage of news, and Lance and Philip are real fame and fortune.
For Bradries, the feeling is not so rosy.
In Braderis's eyes, Qin Zhiyuan was a colonial officer. This statement is not very accurate, the Republic of China is not a French colony, but in the eyes of Bredris, the difference between the two is not great. Bredis really couldn't understand where Qin Zhiyuan had the confidence to dare to shout and kill the French.
The situation did not allow Bredis to think, Qin Zhiyuan's soldiers were already loaded, and they might shoot in the next moment.
"Hey, calm down, Qin, calm down!" Braidis raised his hands in the air, signaling that he had no ill intentions.
Perhaps Qin Zhiyuan did not dare to give the order to shoot, but Bredries did not dare to take the risk. Qin Zhiyuan is an Oriental, even if he does not serve the French, Qin Zhiyuan can still return to the East. Braidis is different, if there is a fire here today, Braidries is sure that his life is over, let alone Niveler, even if Raymond and Briand go together, they will not be able to save him.
Infighting, whatever the cause, is a big scandal that can't be bigger.
"I'm not uncool, Bradries, you have to make one thing clear, it's not 1860, it's not 1900, it's 1916. It is not you who are attacking our country now, but we are helping you, and only by understanding this can we prevent such incidents in the future. Qin Zhiyuan went straight to the core of the problem.
The reason why Qin Zhiyuan behaved like this, and even did not hesitate to turn his face with the French, was to show an attitude.
The Chinese are no longer the Chinese they used to be, and if the Chinese are bullied, the Chinese will dare to fight back!
"Of course, we're friendly now, and this shouldn't have happened." Braderies felt the difference between Qin Zhiyuan and other Orientals.
"I also want you to treat us as allies, not as servants or slaves." Qin Zhiyuan emphasized.
"Well, I can guarantee that there will be no similar incidents in the future." In any case, this matter was the fault of the 45th Division, and Bredis had the courage to take it.
So both sides collected their troops and returned to their camps.
It didn't take long for Bredries to send two truckloads of coal and a few barrels of gasoline to show his feelings. Qin Zhiyuan reciprocated the favor by accepting things and giving back a few bottles of Erguotou sent by the Legation, barely putting an end to this matter.
……
Nivelle Office.
Several high-ranking French generals sat in a group, chatting as they drank Nivelle's stockpiled wine.
"The Oriental is very aggressive, he is not weak, and if provoked, he will not hesitate to fight back, I am sure of that." Bredries had a bitter smile on his face, a little embarrassed.
Remembering that scene in the afternoon, Bredries had a little heart palpitations, when a bad one could ferment into large-scale bloodshed. That result will be something that no one wants to see.
"Bredris, you're too gentle. You should have killed a few of those pigs so you could take control of the situation, not like you are now. Mantin, the new commander of the Second Army, was eager to try.
After Nivelle was promoted, Mantin's status also rose. Although public opinion was still unfavorable to Niveler, this did not prevent Nivelle from exercising his personnel power. Just this afternoon, Nivelle had just announced an appointment to transfer his old superior, Petain, and Foch, who had a great reputation in the army, to the War Office as military advisers to the War Office.
"This Qin, what kind of person is he?" Alfrey Michele followed suit.
Alfrey Michel was also a big fan of Nivelle, and when Michelle came to power, he was appointed commander of the mass mobile force, equivalent to commander-in-chief of the reserve corps.
"It's hard to put him in words. The only thing that is certain is that you can't treat him the same way you deal with Orientals, he's a rule-breaker, and that set is not appropriate for him. I think he should be treated the same way a true Grand Cross recipient. "Bradries has a high opinion of Qin Zhiyuan.
The French Legion of Honor is divided into six ranks, and Qin Zhiyuan received the Grand Cross Knight of the First Class. This is the highest rank that ordinary people can obtain, the highest of the six ranks, and it is only used as a symbol of the head of the French state, that is, only the president of France can obtain it. Nivelle is now a "Grand Officer" of the second class, Bredis and Michel are of the third class of the "Order of the High Knighthood", and Mangin is the lowest rank of "Knight of the Order".
Recently, there has been a discussion in public opinion that Manjing's "knighthood" should be abolished, because Manjing, as a notorious "butcher", has nothing to do with "chivalry".
"With the attitude towards the recipients of the Grand Cross? That's impossible, we all know how he got that medal. "For his rank is not as high as Qin Zhiyuan, Nivel is angry.
Qin Zhiyuan was originally awarded the "Grand Cross Knight", and the reasons behind it are very complicated. There was the intention of Britain and France to encourage the Beiyang government to enter the war; It also has the meaning of setting up a hero in the Foreign Legion and buying horse bones for thousands of dollars; The deeper reason was that it was used to express harmony and unity within the Entente and to boost the morale of the people, which was already at a low ebb.
Although there are various reasons, or Qin Zhiyuan's merits are not worthy of the "Grand Cross Knighthood", Qin Zhiyuan should now enjoy the glory that a "Grand Cross Knight" winner deserves. Every time Nivelle thought about it, he felt a fire of jealousy burning in his heart.
"We may know, but those stupid pariahs and cannon fodder don't know that many people regard that lucky guy as an idolatry, which should cause us to be vigilant." From Michelle's terminology, it can be surmised that this is also an arrogant racist, and an extreme racist.
"Whatever he is, he's dead, Bradries, and if I were you, I'd sleep until lunchtime every day." Manjing provoked with ill intentions.
The 45th Division was ordered to cooperate with the 1st Brigade in combat, and if Bredries slept until lunchtime every day, then it would certainly not be able to cooperate with the 1st Brigade in time.
"No, no, no, that's too obvious, it's going to give people a handle, you know, that guy has a very good relationship with the media, and if he is treated unfairly, he will definitely be publicized by public opinion with a magnifying glass." Braderies didn't dare to do it too obviously, that was the way to die.
The crowd was silent, and after a long time, Nivelle spat out, "What a lucky fellow!" ”
Lucky?
Maybe!
