Facing the expectant eyes of Xie Rundong and Mario, Qin Zhiyuan only took three seconds to make a decision. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"They told us to avoid it, and we avoided it." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to fight, Lan Fang's expansion had already aroused the vigilance of the international community, if Qin Zhiyuan had just come to Europe and started a war with Italy, it would really confirm the British accusation against Lan Fang.

After the establishment of the Western Province, the British began to exaggerate the "Lanfang threat theory", claiming that Lanfang brought only the disaster of war to the world.

Although Qin Zhiyuan didn't care about the accusations of the British, he always had to worry about some influence, Lan Fang wanted to be the guide of the new order of the international community, and "war" was definitely not the core of the new order.

Xie Rundong and Mario were not much disappointed in Qin Zhiyuan's attitude, with Xie Rundong and Mario's understanding of Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan would definitely not bow his head even if he did not punish the Italians for "war".

"What's the biggest headache for Italians right now? It's not us, it's Sardinia, Mussolini that guy just came to power, and now Italy has suffered such a big defeat, Mussolini wants to divert domestic contradictions, we are at war with the Italians at this time, not to mention whether other countries will interfere, first of all, we can strengthen the centripetal force of the Italians, and besides, the British are trying to find trouble with us, even if it is a war, it may not be able to fight. Bypassing the Sardinian Sea, wait until we get to Corsica, aren't the Italians going to take back Sardinia? We make a fuss in Sardinia and it will be more painful for the Italians than going to war. "Qin Zhiyuan is also a snake and a seven-inch fighter, your arsenic, my honey.

Then bypass it, in fact, the Sardinia sea area is not large, there is no United Nations in these years, the League of Nations people do not do everything all day long, and there is no "Convention on the Law of the Sea", the territorial waters of various countries are not unified, generally speaking, the range of territorial waters is determined by the range of shore defense artillery.

In the beginning, because of the limited performance of artillery, the range of territorial waters was about three nautical miles, that is, about 5.6 kilometers from the coast, and later with the continuous increase of artillery range, the area of territorial waters is also expanding, and now it is generally about 22 kilometers from the shore.

The Italians, of course, want the highest standards, so the sea within 22 kilometers around Sardinia is Sardinia.

The Mediterranean Sea is big, in fact, even if the Italians don't make this statement, it is estimated that the task force will not enter the Sardinian Sea, but the Italians are so responsive, and the Italians' statement is not really trying to go to war with Lanfang, where is the combat effectiveness of Lanfang's army, the difference between the Italians and Lanfang is at least three or four as big as France, Mussolini should know very well that the Italians and Lanfang brought humiliation upon themselves when they went to war.

Then the Italians issued this warning in order to save face for Qin Zhiyuan, regardless of whether the task force entered the waters of Sardinia or not, the Italians would not suffer.

If the task force enters the waters of Sardinia, it will be a violation of Italian sovereignty by the task force, and Mussolini will immediately use this to divert domestic contradictions; If you don't enter, then it's okay to say, you see that our Lao Mo is still very prestigious, King Lanfang is awesome, if he doesn't let him come, he won't dare to come-

Disgusting, right? Diaphragm people, right?

This is also normal, the Italians are most fond of stirring up trouble, but never the decisive force.

There are always many surprises in these years, just when Qin Zhiyuan had just finished speaking, a staff officer hurriedly came over with a telegram: "Report, the Republic of Sardinia has sent a telegram inviting His Majesty to visit the Republic of Sardinia." ”

Hearing the content of the telegram, Qin Zhiyuan, Xie Rundong, and Mario were all confused.

It's- that's too hasty.

Visits are put on the agenda months or even a year or two in advance, giving enough time to determine the itinerary and agree on relevant matters, which is good in the Republic of Sardinia, and it is too improvised.

"Go, go right away." Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate and immediately decided to accept the invitation of the Republic of Sardinia.

This invitation came at the right time, and with this invitation, Mussolini's wishful thinking was bound to fail.

Qin Zhiyuan now doesn't say that he passed through the waters of Sardinia, even if Qin Zhiyuan landed on Sardinia, Mussolini would not be able to talk about Qin Zhiyuan. With this invitation, at least no matter what Qin Zhiyuan does, it is no longer illegal, at most, Qin Zhiyuan's visit is controversial.

With Qin Zhiyuan's order, Xie Rundong no longer hesitated, and the task force turned around and galloped in the direction of Sardinia.

In fact, there were Italian destroyers in the vicinity of the task force, but it was only surveillance, and the Italian destroyers did not even dare to approach the task force.

If you get closer, it's easy to say, when Mario sends the Italian destroyer to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, only one reason is enough, His Majesty the King of Lanfang is in the task force, and Lanfang believes that the Italian warships are a threat to the safety of His Majesty the King of Lanfang, and this reason cannot be refuted even by the British, because even if the British are replaced by Lanfang, the British will deal with it like this.

In fact, from the point of view of the Sardinians, the Sardinians had absolutely reason to rebel against the rule of the Italians, who were still in the territory of Italy around the middle of the last century, and most of the territory was controlled by other countries.

Around 1859, the Kingdom of Sardinia, with the help of the French, began the process of unifying Italy, and in just two years, the Kingdom of Sardinia unified northern Italy, and in the third year, the Kingdom of Sardinia conquered the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in the south, and then Italy was proclaimed, and the king of the Kingdom of Sardinia became the King of Italy.

The King of Sardinia, who was elevated to the King of Italy, seemed to have forgotten the land of Sardinia, and in the next half century, Sicily developed rapidly, Italy became one of the great powers, and Sardinia was like a poor cat forgotten in the corner, with little development for decades.

This is like two poor buddies, originally they were good buddies who squatted in the corner every day to catch lice and play, one buddy suddenly won the lottery one day and then spent all kinds of time drinking, and did not take another buddy to play, and the other buddy was naturally full of complaints.

And just when the Sardinians were full of complaints, Corsica, across the sea, developed silently.

In fact, Corsica is poorer than Sardinia, Sardinia is the birthplace of the Kingdom of Italy, somewhat basic, Sardinian people can still get by, Corsica used to be a bitter cold area where the French government exiled prisoners, and its status in France was similar to that of Ningguta of the Qing government, which was a real poor and barren land.

However, after the Foreign Legion entered Corsica, Corsica has undergone earth-shaking changes in recent years, the island has not only developed modern industry and tourism, education and science and technology are the best in Europe, and the life of Corsicans has also flourished with the development of Corsica, which makes the Sardinians feel all kinds of envy and hatred.

There is a comparison to hurt, look at the former friends gradually widen up one by one, only their own life is still miserable and miserable, and it is normal for Sardinians to think about change when they are poor.

The speed of the task force was still relatively fast, and only about half an hour later, the task force arrived at La Maddalena in Sardinia, and Qin Zhiyuan began his visit to Sardinia.

Interestingly, just as the task force entered the waters of Sardinia, the Italian destroyer responsible for monitoring the task force turned around and did not enter the waters of Sardinia at all.

This is really a strange story, the Italian Navy did not dare to enter the waters of Italy, for fear that the spread of the word would laugh off the big teeth.

Joshua Jordien, President of the Republic of Sardinia, greets Qin Zhiyuan in La Maddalena.

As the name suggests, this is a Jew.

Mussolini was a staunch "nationalist" with strong "anti-Semitic tendencies", so Mussolini's rise to power was also an important reason for Joshua Jordi's rebellion against Italian rule.

It sounds like Joshua Jordy and Qin Zhiyuan are on the same level, after all, one is the president and the other is the king, and in terms of social status, these two are equal.

But in fact, Joshua Jodi's posture was very low when he saw Qin Zhiyuan, just like a subordinate meeting a superior.

This is also normal, if it weren't for the support of Corsica, Joshua Jordy would not be the king of the Sardinia Republic, not to mention that in Jerusalem, the Lanfang mercenaries objectively protect the interests of the Jews, so whether it is out of national feelings or practical interests, Joshua Jordy has to keep a low profile towards Qin Zhiyuan.

In the crowd of greetings, Qin Zhiyuan unexpectedly spotted a familiar face, Leo Henry, the head of the European branch of the Lanfang National Security Agency.

Leo Henry was a German, and after the World War, Leo Henry came to Lanfang with a wave of German immigrants, and then became a Lanfang citizen and joined the Lanfang National Security Bureau as an agent.

Since Leo Henri appeared in Sardinia, the relationship between this Sardinian Republic and Lanfang is self-evident.

Sure enough, when entering the temporary presidential palace of the Republic of Sardinia, when no one else retreated, only Qin Zhiyuan and Joshua Jody were left, Joshua Jodia Jodi's expression was serious: "Joshua Jodia Jodi, director of the Sardinia Branch of the Lanfang National Security Bureau, greets you." ”

This is really groundbreaking, and if Mussolini is present, it is estimated that Mussolini's jaw can be shocked.

Qin Zhiyuan is not surprised, Qin Zhiyuan's annual funds to Gao Hongshi are astronomical, if he can't see some results, then Gao Hongshi deserves to be robbed of his seat by Girardin.

"You should be hiding behind the scenes, how could you jump to the front of the stage in such a high-profile manner?" Qin Zhiyuan was still a little curious.

Agents can't get people's attention, the more obscured the better, and politicians live in the spotlight, and the two professions are really incompatible.

"It was an accident, when the anti-flag was just erected on the Sardinian side, the leaders at that time still fantasized about winning independence through negotiations, but when they negotiated with the Italians, they were put in the pot by the Italians, and they really couldn't find a suitable candidate, so I took on this position-" Joshua's expression was also helpless.

Part-time jobs, tsk, to put it really lightly, it's like going to the talent market to find a job.
