375 Acts of State
In fact, Germany didn't care about the direction in which Germany developed after the war, and Qin Zhiyuan didn't care.
Many people will talk about how the Nazis ****** during World War II and how the Jews were miserable, but in Qin Zhiyuan's view, these are all innocent moans.
Compared to many peoples that have disappeared in human history, Jews have been lucky.
For example, the Mayans, such as the Indians, such as the Turks, such as the Babylonians......
Why doesn't anyone complain about those groups?
As an aside, if the United States was not the victorious country in World War II, then how should the Americans' "westward movement" be commented on now?
Even if we take 10,000 steps back, the Jews are recognized as the people who gave birth to the most scientists, but the German black technology that many people talked about during World War II was developed on the basis of eliminating the Jews.
Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan has no ill feelings towards Germany, whether it is the reign of the Kaiser or Hitler's coming to power, Germany is too far away from the Republic of China.
Because of this, Qin Zhiyuan can look at Germany from the perspective of a bystander.
"If the current situation continues, the Kaiser may abdicate and Germany will become a democracy." Qin Zhiyuan cautiously expressed his opinion.
According to the history known to Qin Zhiyuan, the Kaiser will indeed abdicate, and the Weimar Republic is indeed a democratic country in the eyes of the Entente, if there is no accident, in this time and space, it should also be this trend.
Of course, because of Qin Zhiyuan's appearance, this process may be faster.
"Democracies? They don't even think that we will dismember Germany and turn it into an innumerable number of small countries that pose no threat to France. "Foch is ruthless.
"This is just wishful thinking, and the British probably don't want to see France dominate the continent, and the Americans don't want to see it." Qin Zhiyuan told the truth.
Britain's role in Europe is a-stirring stick, and the British have never wanted to see a united Europe emerge, because that would jeopardize the "independence" that the British are proud of, and would endanger the interests of the British.
The 21st century was when Qin Zhiyuan had an accident, the British did join the European Union, but the British refused to join the eurozone, of course, what Qin Zhiyuan didn't know was that after his accident, Britain withdrew from the European Union......
"It is not the turn of the British to speak about the affairs of the European continent." Foch is domineering.
The British are now the undisputed number one country on a global scale, but on the mainland, the French look down on the British, the Germans look down on the British, and the Americans look down on the British.
"I'm afraid not necessarily, if you add the Americans, France doesn't have any advantage, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the goal." Qin Zhiyuan did not shy away.
The relationship between the United States and Britain and France is very special, Britain was once the suzerainty of the United States, and during the American Revolutionary War, the French gave the Americans a lot of help, so the British hated the French, but when faced with the threat of the Germans, France and Britain had to huddle together to keep warm.
Of course, now the United States is the creditor of Britain and France, and between Britain, France, and the United States, the status of the Americans is rising, although it has not reached the level of being a single country, but at least it has and Britain. France is on an equal footing.
If in 1918, the role of the United States in Europe was only a logistics base, then in 1918, when the United States reached the stage of riot, the rate of 250,000 men a month was indeed astonishing.
Not a single month, but every month.
"Damn, the Americans don't necessarily stand on the same side as the British." Foch was not as proficient in politics as he was in the military, at least not sufficiently astute.
"But the Americans and will not stand on the same side as France." Qin Zhiyuan is not optimistic about the weak alliance between the United States and France.
Before the United States declared war on Germany in 1917, the idea of "isolationism" was seriously rampant in the United States.
So don't think that the United States entered the war for the so-called "justice", they only want to join the world war because they have no money to earn, and find a way to make another profit after the war.
If Europe still had money to buy things, the Americans would not be in such a hurry to enter the war.
Having said that, if you don't go to war, once the world war is over, then the distribution of benefits after the war will be nothing for the United States.
"Seriously, I don't think Germany was a threat to France after the war, if France didn't treat Germany too harshly after the war. For France, a potential adversary is growing, and that deserves more attention from France. Qin Zhiyuan vaguely pointed out the bear in the north.
"You mean Russia?" Foch disagreed, because no matter how you look at it, the current Euroses do not pose any threat to France.
The "Brest Treaty" imposed on Russia by Germany was tantamount to a direct dismemberment of Russia, and the Russian Bolsheviks, who had always claimed to be "iron-blooded and fearless", acquiesced in the existence of the "Brest Treaty" and did not continue to entangle.
By doing so, Russia is losing all its dignity as a great power, and the French feel sad and despised.
Russia under the Tsarist rule was an ally of France and an important partner of France in counterbalancing Germany. Having lost Russia as an ally, the French now have no sense of security, so now the mainstream idea in France is to dismember Germany.
It's like Germany dismembering Russia.
"Yes, it's Russia. Russians are now filled with grief and indignation, and one can imagine what kind of energy they would burst out if they were given time. So don't underestimate Russia, they will be a troublemaker. Qin Zhiyuan was cautious.
To tell the truth, Soviet Russia after World War II was absolutely terrifying, not only in Europe, but also in Asia, which was shrouded in the shadow of Soviet Russia, and even the United States, which was far away in the Americas, could feel it.
The greed of the Russians for the land upsets all countries.
Everyone must understand one thing, the Russians have no bottom line, they are like polar bears wandering in the Arctic Circle, attacking all the creatures they see.
"It's beyond the two of us to decide." Foch also began to feel a headache.
So, Foch and Qin Zhiyuan decided to go to Clemenceau, and at the same time toss Raymond Pongaré, such a big matter will definitely not bypass the French president.
At this time, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning, but whether it was Foch killing Qin Zhiyuan, he didn't feel the slightest sleepiness.
Clemenceau did not rest either, he was still working, and as the French Prime Minister, Clemenceau had a lot of work to do.
Raymond Pongaré had already rested, but when he heard that Clemenceau, Foch, and Qin Zhiyuan were coming, Ponncaré immediately fell asleep.
"Tell me, what was your decision?" Pon'ngaré is democratic.
"To be honest, we don't have a consensus. Of course it's okay to send someone to kill Ludendorff, but if we have the chance, we must do it. The crux of the matter is what role France should play in this process, and what we will gain, which is something we cannot decide. Clemenceau was in high spirits.
The world war had been going on for four years, and now, at last sight was seeing the light of the end, and Clemenceau had reason to be excited.
Whatever way the world war will end, it will be during Clemenceau's tenure.
From this point of view, Clemenceau already has the qualifications to go down in history, which is enough for a politician to be excited.
"Is it possible that we will establish a pro-French government in Germany." Pon'ngaré's mind was open.
"It's hard, the British and Americans are not going to sit idly by." Clemenceau has enough political acumen to be reminded by Qin Zhiyuan.
Speaking of this, Qin Zhiyuan wanted to express his opinion, but thinking of Foch's warning when he came, Qin Zhiyuan adjusted his sitting posture and remained silent.
Even if it was just a small action, it also attracted the attention of Pongaré, this is the Elysée Palace, the official residence of Pongaré, and of course there is no such thing as a dog blood problem such as an unsuitable chair.
"Qin, do you have any good ideas?" Pongaré is looking forward to it.
Pongare is now full of affection for Qin Zhiyuan.
Not to mention Qin Zhiyuan's achievements on the battlefield, a single "United Oil Company" can provide a steady stream of income for Poncaré, which is all legitimate, much more than Poncaré earns as president.
And what about the president? The same has to eat, drink, and sleep, and if he is out of the position of president, the life of Ponn Caré is far less comfortable than that of old Renault.
Therefore, real money is the last word, whether it is for the country or the individual.
"Uh......" Qin Zhiyuan subconsciously glanced at Foch before answering the question of Pongaré.
Foch still maintained a numb expression, and did not seem to have any sense of presence.
"Ahaha...... Please, Qin, don't worry about us old guys, we are all old, youth is your capital, even if you say something wrong or do something wrong, don't become afraid to say or do it, the future of France is yours, one day you will have to make independent decisions and decide the direction of this country. Pongare let out a hearty laugh and encouraged Qin Zhiyuan, who was a little hesitant.
To be elected president, Poncaré does have a great point, at least in terms of being open-minded and encouraging young people.
Although Pongaré has never had a presence, it is remarkable that he was able to lead France during the World War.
Think about it, during the world wars, the French prime minister changed several times, but the position of Ngaré was as stable as Mount Tai, which is very telling.
"Americans put democracy on the edge at every turn, and there may be opportunities here." Qin Zhiyuan cautiously expressed his opinion.
"Yes, Wilson's son of a, he just doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks! Self-determination of peoples, self-determination of peoples...... He dared to exercise national self-determination in the United States, and I agreed to promote national self-determination in the territories of France throughout the world. In advance, U.S. President Wilson scolded.
Wilson's "Fourteen Points" has now become a notorious proposal, and may have a market in the hearts of ambitious people in the vast colonies of the world, but in the current mainstream European society, this "Fourteen Points" has become synonymous with the stinky street, and almost everyone mentions it as a scolding, even including the Netherlands, which was forced to give up Lanfang some time ago.
Don't look at the small country of the Netherlands, there is still a colony in the Americas......
"Yes, if there is a candidate who can be accepted by the German people, there is nothing to say compared to the British and the Americans." Clemenceau ran without a mouthful, and suddenly blessed the soul.
Indeed, there is such a person in what is now France.
