At three o'clock, the press conference officially began.

The press conference took place in the living room of the main building of the Black Swan Castle.

Because of the large number of reporters, the original furnishings must not be suitable, so some modifications were carried out to hold a press conference.

All the sofas in the living room have been removed, and there are only three long tables in the innermost position, only three seats, and then there are nearly 100 chairs.

Nearly a hundred chairs may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not enough, because now more than 200 reporters have gathered outside the door of the Black Swan Castle.

This was the first press conference of the Foreign Legion, and O'Henry, the butler in charge of the Black Swan Castle, had no experience in this area, so it was good to be able to make it like this.

Because of the limited number of seats in the press gallery, many reporters entered the press conference at 2 o'clock, ready to grab a good place. As a result, later reporters did not have seats and had to stand at the back of the press conference, but they were satisfied because they interviewed more big names at the door.

At three o'clock, Qin Zhiyuan finally appeared in the hall.

Qin Zhiyuan was followed by Foch, Leotai, Renault Sr., Patton, Monash, Bastian, Bruno, Auerbach, and generals from the Foreign Legion.

Except for Auerbach, who was dressed in a cardinal's robe, the others were all soldiers, the lowest rank was a major general, and the black pressure was simply a large area, and they all stood on the side of the rostrum, showing their support for Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion with actions.

Compared with the press gallery, there are only three fewer seats in the press table, only Qin Zhiyuan, Foch and Leotei have places, and the others can only stand on one side. So when the reporters' flashing lights came on, the Venus on the shoulders and collars of the generals was conspicuous, and it was really a group of stars.

The host is naturally Lu Zhengxiang, the new foreign minister of Lanfang.

When Lu Zhengxiang announced the start of the press conference, the press gallery immediately raised his arms like a forest.

Out of habit, Lu Zhengxiang first ordered a reporter who appeared to be Chinese.

"Qin, tell me about your decision?" The reporter was so anxious that he was rude enough to forget to introduce himself and directly asked questions.

But at this time, no one will definitely correct him, everyone cares about Qin Zhiyuan's answer to this question, so that the venue is silent, and the sound of breathing can be heard quietly.

"It's very difficult for me to make this decision......" Qin Zhiyuan's voice was still hoarse, and his eyes showed the pain of making a difficult choice, but his voice was firm and did not hesitate at all: "In the past few days, I have been thinking repeatedly about why this situation has occurred, why the contradiction has been stimulated to this point of being out of control, I once locked myself in the house and didn't want to talk to anyone, it was my lover and my children who gave me strength at a critical moment, making me understand that no matter what happened, life must go on, and people must always look forward." , so ......" Speaking of this, Qin Zhiyuan was even more painful, Qin Zhiyuan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his excited emotions: "My decision is that since the people of the Republic of China think that they don't need us, then we won't ask them to ......"

It was quieter in the venue, and almost all the reporters listened with their mouths long, and they even forgot to take notes.

Fortunately, there were two wire recorders working at the same time in the venue, and reporters could listen to the recordings after the meeting to decide what to write.

"I declare that from now on, I renounce my Republic of China nationality and retain my French nationality...... From now on, I no longer have anything to do with the Republic of China. Qin Zhiyuan finally finished speaking, he almost used all his strength, and when Qin Zhiyuan closed his eyes, tears gently slipped from the corners of his eyes.

Boom......

Almost hundreds of magnesium powder flashers lit up at the same time, and the sound converged into a huge sound, like a huge bomb exploding at the press conference, both the sound and the brightness were extremely amazing.

In the past, Qin Zhiyuan, whether it was victory, defeat, or anger, always showed a strong image.

From Qin Zhiyuan, there is absolutely no weakness, as if this kind of emotion has never appeared in Qin Zhiyuan's body.

At this moment, Qin Zhiyuan's weakness, which everyone witnessed with their own eyes, recorded Qin Zhiyuan's tears with a camera.

No one will laugh at Qin Zhiyuan for this, because this is not pure weakness, this is a grievance that is not rewarded, this is the unwillingness to work hard but not be recognized, this is the sadness of loyalty being ignored, and this is the despair of the wanderer being abandoned by his mother.

Even if it is a man, there will be times when he can't hold on, there will be times when he is weak and sad, there will be times when he is lost and helpless, and there will be heartbreak when he loses his love.

It's really empathetic.

For a while, it was actually cold, no one in the reporters present whispered, no one continued to ask questions, only the sound of the wire tape recorder "huh" turning.

"Nope! Qin, you can't be like this, not all people in the Republic of China can't recognize your value, not everyone has abandoned you, in the Republic of China, there are still people who support you, and there are people who are looking forward to waiting for you to go back to save the people from fire and water, you can't just give up all this......" A Chinese reporter suddenly stood up and objected in Chinese.

The reporter was already in tears when he got up, and at the end the voice was more akin to a roar.

As this reporter said, not everyone is unaware of Qin Zhiyuan and the value of the Foreign Legion, and Chinese reporters in Europe have sent back positive reports about Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion countless times in China, but for various reasons, those reports have not appeared in the newspapers, and all the reports that appear in the newspapers are negative reports about Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion.

"Please keep your emotions stable and don't disrupt the order of the press conference." Lu Zhengxiang immediately stopped it.

Qin Zhiyuan has already announced his decision, and now it makes no sense to talk about it anymore, it only adds to his sadness.

"Nope! I can't calm down, if Qin returns to the Republic of China, what kind of opportunity will this be for the Republic of China, don't you know? If Qin does not return to the Republic of China, don't you know what kind of loss this will be for the Republic of China? Why don't you persuade Qin to change his mind......" The Chinese reporter was already in a mess, and immediately pointed the finger at Lu Zhengxiang.

There were security personnel in the venue, Lu Zhengxiang just made a gesture, and immediately a security officer came over, grabbed the reporter and dragged him out.

"Nope! Let go of me and let me speak...... You are also Chinese, don't you understand...... Let me go on...... Don't ......" the voice faded away.

The security personnel were so strong that the reporters could not resist, but the reporters struggled as best they could, and even threw the expensive camera equipment in their hands at the security personnel, and when they were dragged out of the Black Swan Castle, the howls of the reporters were already heard.

"Let's ...... Go on. Lu Zhengxiang also had a sad expression.

Once upon a time, Lu Zhengxiang was also a member of the Republic of China, and he also ran around for the interests of the Republic of China......

Lu Zhengxiang especially understands Qin Zhiyuan, and only when he is in it can he understand how difficult it is to say "goodbye".

When the reporter was dragged away, the reporters looked at each other with sadness. This is not because of the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox, but because I really feel the sad atmosphere that is spreading in the venue.

No one was making fun of the emotionally out-of-control journalist, and the reporters were almost all asking themselves what they would do if it happened to them in their own country and to them.

The conclusion is silent, because it is perhaps more unbearable than the emotionally uncontrolled reporter.

"Then next, will you accept the arrangement of the French government, or will you go to Lanfang to take up the position of king?" The next one was a French journalist who asked the reporters who were present about the most important questions.

"Before Qin answers this question, I want to interject." The Minister of War Leotey interjected, but Leotey didn't have any expression, but his voice was excited, and there was excitement in his eyes: "No matter what Qin chooses, he is the general of France, and France will never abandon those who have shed blood and sacrificed for France, so if Qin accepts, France will provide a position for Qin to choose, the commander-in-chief of the French army, or the chief of the French army's general staff, or the governor of French Indochina." ”

The current commander-in-chief of the French army is Petain, and the current chief of the French army is Louis Frances d'Espere, the former commander of the Western Front, which means that if Qin Zhiyuan agrees, he can replace either of these two people at any time.

The First World War lasted for four whole years, the curtain fell on the older generation of soldiers, and a new generation of soldiers took the stage, Foch, Petain and d'Espere were actually representatives of the older generation of soldiers, and they must gradually withdraw from the stage and give the stage to the young.

In the First World War, the French army also emerged many outstanding generals, including Qin Zhiyuan, commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion, Pierre Foch, chief of the General Staff, Bastian Berjamin Garcia, commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army, and Bruno Abel Garcia, the minister of logistics, are all outstanding representatives, and they will be the future of the French Army.

A very wonderful phenomenon, in addition to Qin Zhiyuan, the other three people are all related to Qin Zhiyuan, which may be the first to get the moon near the water.

And the governor of French Indochina, this is the most important position of the governor of France's overseas territories, and Qin Zhiyuan does not have much advantage in this regard, after all, Qin Zhiyuan once held a position in the North African colony of Algeria, but the evaluation is not very good.

Considering the proximity of French Indochina to Lanfang, this is more like a compromise on the part of the French government, because even if Qin Zhiyuan becomes the king of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan can also take the position of governor.

Leothai's words were a bombshell, and they rekindled the enthusiasm of the reporters, so it seems that Qin Zhiyuan is going to completely throw himself into the arms of France.

"Thank you very much for the trust of the War Department, and also for the trust of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, although I have not been to Lanfang yet, but I think it must be a beautiful place. But I don't want to do anything now, I want to take a break for a while, you know, the world war has just ended, next, the military should not be the protagonist, we should spend more energy on post-war reconstruction, have a beautiful home, I think it is the common wish of all of us. Qin Zhiyuan didn't choose any of them.

Qin Zhiyuan really wanted to take a break, too much had happened during this time, Qin Zhiyuan needed time to sort it out slowly, and then make a plan for the next few years.

"Qin, we all know that in the Republic of China, it seems that someone is making waves against you and the Foreign Legion, do you want to do something?" A journalist took a different approach.

Do something?

Definitely!

Here in Qin Zhiyuan, those who make mistakes must be punished!
