Perhaps in the 21st century, Western societies do seem to be more incorruptible because of their higher level of development. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But at the beginning of the twentieth century, the crows in the world were indeed generally black, almost indistinguishable, and even because Westerners felt better about themselves, they looked even more ugly.

However, if according to the principle that existence is reasonable, since such a thing will occur, then it means that such a thing has a certain degree of rationality.

The role of the two gold bricks is still good, Richard immediately became attentive after receiving the gold bricks, although the previous performance was also thoughtful, but after receiving the gold bricks, he was a little more cordial.

It's already been dirty together, and the relationship will definitely be much better, that's a gold brick!

McTavish did not stop after returning to the French Concession, and immediately joined the commandos who did not participate in the operation to cross the river together, and did not stop in the French Concession to avoid any future troubles.

Richard used the privilege of the military attaché of the embassy to send gunboats to McTavish and them, and sent McTavish and them across the river overnight.

There must be a gold brick bonus in this, but it is definitely not the whole thing, after all, the relationship between Lanfang and France is there, and Richard will definitely not embarrass McTavish and them, let alone McTavish and them stay in the French Concession.

Although Richard did not participate in the operation and did not know the specific situation, Richard was also a soldier before as a military attaché and had been on the battlefield, so he naturally found something unusual from McTavish, and it is estimated that the movement of this night is not small, and it is foreseeable that the British will fall into madness after dawn, and it will be a big trouble for Mactavish and them to stay in the French Concession at that time.

Of course, Richard is not afraid of the British, but there is such a thing as "trouble", so let's have less of it.

After going ashore, McTavish habitually arranged to build a defensive position before sitting down to rest.

The gunboats still don't have enough capacity, and McTavish and Tang Jiading are too numerous, and they can't be transported at one time, and they have to be transported in several parts.

At this moment of rest, Rommel came over silently: "What's the matter, you still plan to run all the way back to Dawu?" ”

Speaking of which, Rommel was the most laid-back member of the team, and with just a move of his mouth and no involvement in any action, he easily got eleven gold bricks, as much as the non-stop McTavish received.

"What else? Fly back? "McTavish really misses Lan Fang's transport plane a little bit.

"Tsk, your head, you know how to fight and kill all day long, so you won't look at what's in front of you?" Rommel really hated iron, not steel.

"Yangtze River." McTavish still doesn't get the hang of it.

"Wipe ...... What about the Yangtze River? Rommel was devastated.

"Ship...... Yes, we can take a boat back, do you know the way? McTavish was pleasantly surprised, if it was by boat, it would be much better than walking all the way back.

"I don't know!" Rommel replied simply.

"That's a." McTavish suddenly felt gloomy.

"The boat boss knows." Rommel sighed faintly, no longer promising McTavish's IQ.

"Rub, forget about this stubble." McTavish got up, beckoned the two warriors, and walked to the river.

McTavish really forgot about this stubble, this is Hankou, the largest port in the interior, with a dense water network, developed transportation, and many ships, it is really not too easy to hire a boat.

It's not too easy, McTavish they all have a northern accent, and if there is no translator, they can hardly communicate with the locals in Hankou, there is no Mandarin in these years, the difference between the north and south accents is huge, and the northerners feel similar to going abroad when they go to the south, and it is difficult to communicate normally.

Eventually, they waited for Richard, McTavish, and they were able to rent three boats, and then in Richard's reluctant goodbye, McTavish and the others went down the river.

Richard is really a little reluctant, just half a day's work to earn two gold bricks, this business is really easy to do.

McTavish earned more, not only because of the pile of gold bricks, but also because of the rewards when he returned to the capital.

Lan Fang attaches great importance to military merits, as long as there are military merits, it is certain to be promoted, although McTavish does not pay much attention to class, but he also understands that the difference between school officers and generals in all aspects is huge.

In fact, just as McTavish and his team had returned to the French Concession, Rommel sent a telegram to the capital, along with the damage McTavish had caused to the British during the operation.

"If tomorrow the British find out about their losses, I guess the British will go crazy." In Qin Zhiyuan's study, Old Renault casually threw the telegram on the table, pinched the wine glass and continued to revel in it.

Old Renault likes to drink two glasses when he is fine, and he uses that kind of tall glass, and drinks it slowly in a way similar to tasting wine.

The Republic of China is a big country of liquor, with a wide variety of liquor, many more varieties than France, whether it is the sauce-flavored Moutai, or the fragrant Wuliangye, or the fragrant Fenjiu, any one is the best.

When he arrived in the Republic of China, Qin Zhiyuan naturally wanted to find ways to satisfy the appetite of old Renault, so there were really a lot of varieties of wine that Old Renault had drunk in the past few days.

Surprisingly, the old Renault is not very interested in all kinds of famous wines, but has a strong interest in Jiangnan rice wine.

Eighty percent of these are because of the degree.

Although Qin Zhiyuan could feel it, he didn't say anything, and let old Renault indulge in it.

In fact, it's not indulgent, old Renault is still modest, only drinks one or two taels a day, and he will never be greedy for a cup, and he is still very self-controlled compared with Foch.

After Foch arrived in the Republic of China, he also completely exposed his drunkard attributes, and Foch also looked down on all kinds of famous wines, but he had a soft spot for Erguotou.

In this respect, these two old men are not very demanding.

"Self-inflicted, if they didn't admit it, it is estimated that it would not be like this now, it is estimated that tomorrow Owen Jonah will find the Prime Minister to protest, and then the Prime Minister can just send Owen Jonah's words back intact: Ah, what a pity, we don't know anything!" Foch is also the appearance of Le Taotao.

Anne's control over Foch is still relatively strict, and it is impossible for Foch to take a sip if he wants to have something to do, so Foch doesn't even look at Old Renault, so as not to be upset when he sees Old Renault with an intoxicated face.

"I'm thinking about how to treat Lloyd George in the next few months, and I wonder if Lloyd George will be so angry that he will flip the table when he sees me." Qin Zhiyuan didn't sigh much, and his mood was very relaxed.

Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care how many British people died, the British died a lot in the world war, Qin Zhiyuan didn't think that the death of a few Britons in the Far East was a big deal, if you want to provoke an incident, you must be prepared to bear the consequences, at this point, everyone is the same, no one is much more expensive than whom.

"I guess Lloyd George doesn't have the heart to blame you, the Irish are getting more and more troublesome, Lloyd George can't control the situation, plus the Greeks have been defeated again and again in Turkey, how much do you think Lloyd George has put on the Far East? Maybe Lloyd George didn't know about it. Foch spoke casually, and he wasn't too nervous.

Compared with the thriving Lanfang, the British have actually had a very hard time recently.

After the world war, the British supported the Greeks in their territorial claims to Anatolia, but they did not expect that the Turks who were defeated in the world war had not yet lost their blood, and the Greeks experienced an initial victory, and are now defeated again and again on the battlefield, which is proving the complete defeat of Britain on the Turkish question.

At the same time, there was no peace in the United Kingdom, just last January, in order to fight for independence, the Irish people under the leadership of Sinn Féin held a meeting in Dublin City House, established the Irish Parliament, and at the same time proclaimed the establishment of the Republic of Ireland, and elected Valera, the leader of Sinn Féin, as the president of the Republic.

Of course, the British government would not agree to the independence of the Irish, so the British government was ready to suppress it by force.

But, as mentioned earlier, Britain simply cannot afford a war now, and the British government's attempt to use force to suppress it has provoked the indignation of the working class at home, which has led to protests from the workers and a huge divide of opinion within the ruling class.

After the world war, the British economy did not recover, but deteriorated further, with declining productivity, no orders in factories, a large number of workers unemployed, sharp class contradictions in the country, and frequent strikes.

Lloyd George made some economic concessions to the working class, the government introduced a system of grants to demobilized soldiers before they were employed, subsidies to workers in the arms industry who lost their jobs due to the shutdown of military enterprises, and a residential construction program to help those who had lost their families in the war to rebuild their homes.

It seems that Lloyd George has dealt with it well, but at the same time Lloyd George has aroused the discontent of the domestic bourgeoisie.

Well, the big names in Britain have never liked Lloyd George, Lloyd George, like the president of the Republic of China, Xu Shichang, is just a temporary candidate who was appointed as the head of state for emergency purposes, and may not wait for the next general election, Lloyd George will be ousted.

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the British still have a background." Qin Zhiyuan needed strong perseverance to resist the temptation to go to war with the British.

"It looks like that now, but if you continue to lose weight, sooner or later the British will be thin into a sheep." Foch was not optimistic about the British.

As the commander of the French army, it should be said that Foch has never looked down on the British, just as the British have never looked down on the French.

"It doesn't matter if he's a camel or a sheep, it's still us, if we're not a horse, but a lion, then it doesn't matter what the British are." Or old Renault can think about it.

Qin Zhiyuan and Foch glanced at each other, and both of them grimaced.

Foch suddenly felt the need for a drink.
