Regarding aid to Germany, the Americans had this plan for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the immediate aftermath of the World War, Herbert Clark Hoover, then the WFA administrator and now the US Secretary of Commerce, and the future President of the United States, proposed a plan to aid Germany. After the Treaty of Paris was signed, the Allied powers stopped bailing out Germany, and in order to make this plan a reality, Hoover established a resource organization to self-fund relief for children and refugees in Europe.

According to statistics, Hoover raised more than $250 million through this bailout plan.

$250 million, this is not a small number, to say that the raising of this money is all Hoover's personal charm is pure nonsense, Hoover's plan is to cater to the needs of certain interest groups, so it can have this scale.

Through this act of rescue, Hoover gained great popularity in Europe and the United States, and Hoover himself successfully entered the cabinet and became one of the leaders of the United States. Now that the Americans are bringing up the old story, they must have found new business opportunities from it, otherwise Charles would not have been so kind.

Politicians are backed by a consortium, and Charles, if it's a business act, that's easy to understand, but if it's a political act, the Americans' purpose is very puzzling.

It can even be described as insidious.

If we leave aside the United States and Lanfang, there is a huge difference between Britain and France on the issue of dealing with Germany, and this difference is basically irreconcilable.

The Americans certainly wanted to side with the British, but because of the devastation of the world war, the idea of "isolationism" was seriously rampant in the United States, and it was not easy for the US government to think about the support given to Britain in the world war. Although Lan Fang also advocated tolerance towards Germany, because of Lan Fang's alliance with France, Lan Fang was still more restrained and chose to advance and retreat with the French government.

Under this premise, the idea of the British wanting to revive Germany was not easy to achieve.

Charles is now proposing this plan to Qin Zhiyuan to aid Germany, and the motive behind it is indeed sinister.

Well, Qin Zhiyuan vaguely remembers, it seems that at the original Washington Naval Conference, the Americans destroyed the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Now the situation is different from the previous Washington Naval Conference, Japan has become Lanfang's vassal, and Lanfang's alliance with France is the biggest shadow of the British, so destroying Lanfang's alliance with France should be the main purpose of Charles's trip.

After understanding Charles's purpose, Qin Zhiyuan was comfortable in the next communication with Charles.

Qin Zhiyuan really wants to revive Germany, but the premise is that the understanding and cooperation of the French are needed, and Qin Zhiyuan will not do the kind of thing of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, which is not in the interests of Lan Fang.

So Qin Zhiyuan bluntly stated Lan Fang's attitude.

Charles was not surprised by this: "The motives of the French are not pure, they want to establish hegemony on the European continent, which is not in the interests of all of us, although Lanfang and France are allies, I still have to say that a divided Europe is more conducive to the development of the world." ”

See, that's the benefit of dealing with honest people who will always hit the nail on the head and save a lot of trouble around the bush.

"That's for you, not us. For us in Lanfang, if France establishes hegemony on the European continent and we have good relations with France, it will not affect us. Qin Zhiyuan began to throw smoke bombs.

"It's really disappointing to me, I thought we could have an open and honest conversation, but now it seems that I was a little too optimistic. In fact, in many ways, Lan Fang and the United States have the same national conditions, but also face the same predicament, we have the same demands, please Your Majesty please don't be busy denying this, you are so wise, in just a few years, you have established such a huge country, with supreme authority, which is unprecedented in the whole world. Lan Fang is currently moving in North Africa and Madagascar, not to mention that it is all for the sake of safeguarding the interests of allies, which will affect your perfect image in my heart. "The justices are also very handy when they line up.

If it were a different person, Qin Zhiyuan might have pushed the boat down, but the person who spoke was Charles, and he was an American, so Qin Zhiyuan had to pay more attention.

"It's just for personal reasons, you know, Union Oil is my cash cow, and Pierre is my brother-in-law, so whether it's North Africa or Madagascar, the presence of the army is for personal reasons." Qin Zhiyuan does not deny the existence of the army, the security force of United Oil is indeed huge, and the mercenaries in Madagascar are also lice on the bald head.

"And what about the Brotherhood? So what's going on? Regarding Qin Zhiyuan's words, Charles was noncommittal.

Brotherhood, sure enough, someone still noticed this organization.

Unlike the hypocritical British, the Americans were still very sharp in this period, if an Englishman asked Qin Zhiyuan this question in person, Qin Zhiyuan could answer "There is no such thing", but in the face of a frank American, this answer is not enough to fool the test.

Charles's attitude is obvious, no matter what you say, no matter whether I have evidence or not, I just know that there is a connection between you. It can't be said that there is no evidence at all, the brother alliance bought tanks from Lanfang through United Oil, and some of the funds passed through Citibank's account, Charles must have some information, so he is so sure.

Therefore, if you want people not to know, you must not do it yourself. The power of the individual is of course small relative to the whole world, but the power of the state is still large enough.

"The Brotherhood Alliance was just an accident-" Qin Zhiyuan didn't explain much, and casually said a word and buried his head in dealing with the food on the plate, this action did look a little frustrated.

Sometimes the words can't be finished, and they should be appropriately left blank to give people enough room for imagination. Qin Zhiyuan only needs to mention an introduction, and the rest of Charles can be completed, of course, the authenticity of those completed parts needs to be verified.

Sure enough, after Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, Charles looked at Qin Zhiyuan with suspicious eyes for half a minute, and then spoke slowly: "Power always makes people lost, there are too many examples like this." ”

This was a bit disrespectful, Qin Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at Charles with a smile.

As the lord of a country, living and moving qi and cultivating the body, Qin Zhiyuan's eyes are still very sharp.

Charles was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Qin Zhiyuan, shrunk his neck and shrugged his shoulders with an apologetic look on his face: "It's just a feeling, please don't mind." ”

The previous series of actions means subconscious self-protection, Qin Zhiyuan is an agent, and body language is part of what must be understood.

"The taste of power is of course wonderful, otherwise people will not flock to it, there is a saying in the Chinese world called 'sailing against the current does not advance or retreat', Lan Fang is in this process, as the leader of the country, we must be responsible for the people, we must let the country develop, of course mistakes are inevitable, but if you do nothing because you may make mistakes, it is because of choking and waste food." Qin Zhiyuan's words are a bit difficult, it is really not easy to translate idioms into English, many times a word is used improperly, and the meaning is thousands of miles away.

"That's right, we're all on our way." Although he listened a little ignorantly, Charles still agreed with Qin Zhiyuan's words and raised his glass to Qin Zhiyuan.

Chatting to this point, basically everything that should be said has been said, communication has reached a certain level, and the dinner party is about to end, don't expect to solve all problems in one meal, that can only be wishful thinking.

Sending Charles away, Qin Zhiyuan turned his head and called Leotai, the relationship between them has reached a certain level, and there is no need to greet each other, Qin Zhiyuan came up and directly reminded Leotai to be careful of the Americans.

"It's really a bit troublesome, the Americans have a lot of ambitions this time, Charles came to have a meeting, Harding is visiting Europe, and now he is still in England, and he will go to France next, we all have to be more careful." Leothai's sixth sense is still keen, and he can still see a lot of things from the itinerary of the President and Secretary of State of the United States.

"I'm most worried about your damn Congress, and there are a lot of people out there who don't like me." Qin Zhiyuan did not hide his dislike for the French Congress, even if Leothai who was talking was French.

"I hate it as much as you do, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Indochina." The contradictions between Leotey and the members of Congress are irreconcilable, and the military Leothai does not trust the politicians whose interests are paramount, and those politicians who are also distrustful of Leotay, who is accustomed to acting outside the government: "As long as they are not fools, they will not be fooled by the Americans, and of course, there will always be some sons of bitches who think they are different, and we have to do something." ”

It is undeniable that there are gentlemen in the military of this era, like Foch, but there are also villains.

"Maybe we don't have to do anything, some people always have to suffer a loss to know that they are afraid of pain, so it's actually good, expose all the hidden dangers, and then solve them together, that will make our alliance stronger." Qin Zhiyuan wants to put a long line to catch a big fish.

Since the beginning of this year, France has seen several unfavorable moves against Lanfang, some of which have even caused serious impacts, which have really threatened the relationship between Lanfang and France. As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, and this kind of thing is impossible to do once and for all.

Imperialism will not die!

"After all, you're still for your good friend." Leothai did not loosen much of his attitude towards the Germans.

"Don't say it so ugly, for me, you are also a good friend." Qin Zhiyuan does not deny it.
