The cause of this incident is still due to the French presidential election in the first half of the year. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

De Shanel's resignation occurred during Qin Zhiyuan's visit to France, and in the process of Millerand's presidential campaign, although Qin Zhiyuan tried his best to avoid suspicion, he was still unable to get out of it because the French branch of the "Daily News" said too many good things for Millerand.

What's more, after Millerand came to power, Raymond Poincaré was appointed Prime Minister of France, and Pierre was appointed Governor of Madagascar.

A king of Lanfang, who served in the French Foreign Legion a few years ago, actually participated in the presidential election in France, and was suspected of behind-the-scenes manipulation, this topic is unacceptable to many people.

Although France and Lanfang currently have close cooperation in many fields, this is also incredible.

Qin Zhiyuan still has a lot to do with France, and it didn't take much effort for Qin Zhiyuan to find out that this turmoil was related to Millerand's opponent in the presidential race, Aristide Briand.

Speaking of which, Qin Zhiyuan and Aristide Briand are no strangers, when Qin Zhiyuan first arrived in France in 1916, Aristide Briand was still the prime minister of France at the time, Qin Zhiyuan led the Chinese to join the Foreign Legion, which was approved by Aristide Briand, if in this sense, Aristide Briand is Qin Zhiyuan's "favor".

As a soldier, Qin Zhiyuan did not have much contact with Bai Lian, who was a politician, and Bai Lian deliberately kept a distance from the military generals, which should have been a peaceful relationship.

It is a pity that many things in this world are created to make people, when Briand was on the stage, the Anglo-French army was defeated again and again because of the ferocious offensive of the German army, and after Briand stepped down, Clemenceau came to power, and because of the addition of the Americans, the Anglo-French alliance began to launch a counterattack on the Eastern Front, and the war began to develop on the good side, during this period, the Foreign Legion led by Qin Zhiyuan performed particularly well.

The brilliance of Clemenceau will further reflect Brian's incompetence, referring to the principle that the enemy's friend is the enemy, and Brian will inevitably have some complaints about Qin Zhiyuan.

Of course, it will take time for a momentary complaint to ferment into hostility, and the presidential election in the first half of the year will be the catalyst for all this.

Objectively speaking, in the French League, the better Lan Fang performs, the more it will hide the light of France.

In recent years, since its establishment, Lanfang has defeated the Russians, then the Japanese, and then the Siamese, and the area of the country has been expanding, and its international influence has been increasing.

The French economy, on the other hand, has not improved because of the aftermath of the world war, the economy has been hovering in the doldrums, the capitalists have no confidence to enter the field of investment, the factories cannot find enough workers, the problem of veterans has not been completely solved until now, and the social contradictions are still acute.

In this case, coupled with the massacre in Madagascar a while ago, as well as Sarawak and Port Hedland, Lan Fang has finally been blacklisted by certain countries.

This certain country does not refer to "France", although Briand is questioning the necessity of the existence of the French alliance, but he does not deny it completely, Briand is questioning the part of military cooperation promised by France to Lanfang, that is, according to the agreement signed by France and Lanfang now, if Lanfang and a certain country enter a state of war, then France will also enter the war based on the position of allies, Briand doubts this.

Since its establishment, Lanfang has launched foreign wars almost every year, which has made many people worried.

At present, in Southeast Asia, if Lan Fang wants to continue to find a target for war, then it is either Britain or the United States, and no matter which of these two countries, the French do not want to fight.

To be precise, the French did not want to fight with anyone now, and Leotey fought Siam because he did not send troops from the French mainland, otherwise the French would rather lose their interests in Siam than intervene in the war.

After determining that the target was Aristide Briand, Qin Zhiyuan ordered Gao Hongshi to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Aristide Briand, at least to determine where Aristide Briand's hostility towards Lan Fang came from, and at the same time, Qin Zhiyuan asked Old Renault to use his own strength to assist in the investigation.

There was no need for Qin Zhiyuan to "request", Old Renault had already started an investigation from the first time he learned the news.

Old Renault and Qin Zhiyuan are now completely tied together, in some ways, the relationship between old Renault and Qin Zhiyuan is closer than that between Pierre and Qin Zhiyuan, for the sake of Lan Fang, even if he wants to betray the interests of France, Old Renault will not change his face, so Old Renault is obliged in this regard.

Old Renault is still very energetic, and when Gao Hongshi's people don't have a clue, Old Renault's relationship has already given an answer: Aristide Briand and the British have been very close during this time.

That's right!

If the British had not been involved, Aristide Briand, a Frenchman, would not necessarily have questioned the relationship between Lanfang and France.

The British did have enough reasons to know that the former Dutch were able to maintain their colonies in Southeast Asia only with the support of the British, and the establishment of Lanfang endangered the interests of the British from the very beginning.

This starts from the period when the Dutch ruled Borneo, although the Netherlands is also an old capitalist country, but its industrial strength is not the same as that of the British, and Borneo at that time was a huge source of raw materials, and most of the industrial raw materials obtained by the Dutch from Borneo were sold to the British.

Of course, considering the protection fee, the price of these raw materials will not go up. In essence, the British hired the Dutch to govern Borneo, and the Dutch were a group of vassals of the British.

After the establishment of Lanfang, for a period of time, Lanfang also assumed the responsibility of providing industrial raw materials for Europe, of course, the price has increased, but the function has not changed, which makes it difficult for the British to accept the existence of Lanfang, for the British, Borneo has never belonged to them, so no matter who is in charge of Borneo, as long as the British can get benefits.

But Lanfang's industrial strength and the Netherlands is a world of difference, after the establishment of Lanfang, the country's industrial strength is almost the same every year, the demand for industrial raw materials is also increasing, now Lanfang is no longer a resource exporter, but a resource importer, which has a growing impact on the UK.

What's more, whether it is in Sarawak or Port Hedland, there is a looming shadow of Lan Fang behind it, which makes the British gradually accumulate dissatisfaction with Lan Fang, and the previous arms race is a concrete reflection of this dissatisfaction.

It's easy to know who it is.
