After the Battle of Port Hedland, the City of Perth was forced to recognise Port Hedland's status, no longer put obstacles to the export of mineral products from Port Hedland, all surcharges were abolished, and the Western Australian Parliament recognized Jack's legitimate rule over Port Hedland, while giving Port Hedland a 30% seat in Parliament based on the population of Port Hedland. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The total population of Western Australia is now 850,000, of which Port Hedland has a population of more than 200,000, second only to Paz with 500,000 people, Port Hedland has also become the de facto second largest city in Western Australia.

That would mean that Port Hedland would not pay even a single shilling in taxes to the WA Government.

This was unacceptable to the WA government, which also needed Port Hedland's tax revenue to cover the shortfall, especially this time for pre-war loans and post-war pensions for the formation of the expeditionary force.

Against this backdrop, Jack was invited by the WA government to travel to the Perth Parliament to prepare to exercise his rights.

The composition of the Western Australian government parliament is still very complicated, the Labor Party and the Socialist Party are dominant, and there are more than a dozen other parties, and 30 percent of the parliamentary seats in Port Hedland have de facto constituted the largest party in the parliament, and if Jack can find some allies, Jack can even become the governor of Western Australia.

There is certainly no shortage of allies, and even if the Labour and Socials will not cooperate with Jack, MPs from smaller parties who would never have been able to come to power will take the initiative to join in. Not to mention Timothy, who has already had an agreement with Jack, even within the Western Australian Parliament, there were not a few parliamentarians who opposed the formation of the expeditionary force, and now the expeditionary force has failed miserably, and there are more parliamentarians who are dissatisfied with the rash actions of the Western Australian government, of course, these people cannot all cooperate with Jack, but as long as they win a part of it, Jack can get an absolute majority in the parliament.

Democracy -- what a good thing!

In this context, Jack was attacked in Paz, there is no need to investigate who the murderer is, all the murderers have been killed on the spot, it is not easy to determine who is behind the scenes, but it is not difficult to determine a range.

If Jack succeeds in taking control of the WA Parliament, who is the most harmful, then who is the mastermind.

In this way, it was the Labour Party that orchestrated the attack on Jack.

However, the suspicion of the Socialist Party cannot be ruled out, perhaps it is a deliberate attempt by the Socialist Party to provoke a dispute between Jack and the Labour Party, and then profit from it.

There were so many thoughts in his mind, so Qin Zhiyuan, who returned to the room, frowned, and had nothing to deal with William II and Poincaré, who were hurting each other.

Although Wilhelm II is already old and dizzy, after all, he has been an emperor for decades, and his skills of observing words and emotions have been perfected; Poincaré is an old oilman in the political arena, if Qin Zhiyuan doesn't take the initiative to say it, Poincaré will definitely not ask, so Wilhelm II and Poincaré are both focused on hurting each other, and the intensity is only a thin line away from the real PK.

The main point of contention between Poincaré and Wilhelm II was still on the world war, and Wilhelm II regretted that he was not resolute enough, and if the German troops had followed the strategy developed by Wilhelm II, they would have taken Paris and driven all the French into the Mediterranean to make dumplings. Poincaré, on the other hand, ridiculed Wilhelm II's arrogance and sneered at Wilhelm II based on the status quo of the Germans. Wilhelm II said that one day Germany will rise again, and then it will be a shame, while Poincaré said that the Germans will never have a chance, and with Lanfang as a strong ally, France is confident that it will meet any challenge.

"Raymond, there is a question that you must pay attention to, everything you two said is based on the premise that Germany will rise again, it seems that this has reached a consensus, so now the question you two need to consider is, how to face the situation after Germany's re-rise, whether Germany will repeat the mistakes of the past? Does France still have the confidence to come back to another world war? Qin Zhiyuan hit the nail on the head.

Hearing Qin Zhiyuan's words, both Wilhelm II and Poincaré fell silent.

Repeat? One more time? That's a heavy topic.

One thing is certain, no matter how much the Germans hate the British, if the current trajectory continues, France alone will certainly not be able to contain the rise of Germany on the premise that the British have changed their attitude, and once Germany re-emerges, it will definitely be France that will be the first to deal with.

Although in the last world war, it was the unsparing efforts of Britain that led to the defeat of Germany, for the time being, the Germans hated the French more.

"To be honest, I hate war! It's really annoying! But everyone has the right to pursue a better life, and Germany also needs its own living space, if Germany has enough strength, why can't Germany achieve an international status that matches its strength? After a long silence, Wilhelm II finally had a rare heartfelt word.

Perhaps when it came time to start a world war, Wilhelm II was indeed ambitious and did not have the corresponding mentality to adapt to the rapid increase in national power. But after the defeat in the world war, after the exile in the Netherlands, and the oblivion in Lanfang, Wilhelm II certainly had a reflection.

"This reason is not sufficient, of course the Germans have the right to pursue the good life, but it cannot be based on hurting others, if you want to pursue the good life, you have to make concessions to the French and the English, that is not fair to France and England." Qin Zhiyuan continued to be ruthless, and the crisis of Paz and Gairyan made Qin Zhiyuan not have much patience.

"Yes, the current world pattern has been formed and will continue to be maintained, and all countries and individuals who want to challenge this system will be hit hard by the whole world, so even if Germany re-emerges, there may be twists and turns in the process, but this result will not change." Poincaré immediately found a reason, waving his arms to add convincing to his words.

"This is also wishful thinking, the people of the colony cannot be slaves forever, even if they want to, they can't stand the provocation of some people, and now the relationship between the suzerainty and the colony has become fire and water, as long as there is an external force to penetrate, even a spark will become a prairie fire." Qin Zhiyuan also showed no mercy to Poincaré, which had nothing to do with personal relationships.

"Qin, to be honest, that's what I'm worried about now, and your Lan Fang is very likely to be that Mars." Poencaré was also unkind, and was blunt about Lan Fang's concerns.

"You shouldn't worry about me, it's the Americans who should be worried. Think about it, the Americans are now busy developing the domestic market, and their focus has not yet shifted overseas, but the domestic market of the United States is limited after all, and if the domestic market is developed to the extreme, and the capital still has the spare capacity to need a larger market, will the Americans still adhere to 'isolationism'? I think you should have your own opinion on this issue, whether you want to be an ostrich or not, the threat of the Americans is there, and one day it will become a big problem. Qin Zhiyuan still adheres to his "American threat theory".

Qin Zhiyuan, who came from the 21st century, knew the evolution of the world situation, and the Germans were indeed dissatisfied with the existing system and launched two world wars in a vain attempt to change the world order. But because of the joint repression of the British and the French, or rather the joint efforts of the whole world, the German resistance was ultimately unsuccessful.

In the process of rebellion and suppression, the colonial system dominated by Britain and France finally collapsed.

Look at the current Madagascar, look at the current Japan, these two countries are strictly speaking colonies, one belongs to France, the other belongs to Lanfang, the French are carrying out the "purity plan" against Madagascar under the leadership of Pierre, and the Malagasy pike and bows have no ability to resist in the face of machine guns and artillery; Japan is now showing complete submission to Lanfang, and hundreds of Japanese begging Lanfang people in front of Lanfang's headquarters in Japan every day to release the emperor's family back to Japan.

Such a colony would not have the slightest ability to resist the rule of the overlord without the intervention of foreign forces.

After listening to Qin Zhiyuan's words, Poincaré fell silent again, this time completely silent, and Poincaré did not come back to his senses until Wilhelm II took his leave.

Whether Americans are a savior or a threat to Europe is a real question.

The performance of the Americans in and after the world war clearly shows the attitude of the Americans, in a sense, the Americans are indeed the saviors, but this savior is not simple, it can evolve into a threat at any time, or it has always been a threat, but the French and the British chose to remain silent in the face of this threat, they buried their heads in the sand and pretended that nothing existed, in fact, everyone knew that if there was another world war, the Americans would become the undisputed creditors of the world.

In fact, the United States has now become the world's creditor, but the last world war was not destructive enough, the British and French still have a bit of a family background, and they still have the ability to repay their debts with the help of huge colonies and the accumulation of plundering the world for hundreds of years before, so the debt crisis has not broken out, and the Americans are not strong enough to dominate the world, but if they do it again, it is likely that the British and French families will be beaten to pieces. What will the British and French use to pay off the debts of the Americans?
