"I found out I underestimated you!" Crown Prince William looked at Qin Zhiyuan in surprise.

A week has passed since the "Strait Incident", Qin Zhiyuan returned to Paris from Corsica to prepare for Christmas and Julie's wedding, and Crown Prince William also returned to Paris as one of the guests to prepare to participate.

Now in the Black Swan Castle, Qin Zhiyuan is trying on dresses, and although the tailor who has dealt with him knows Qin Zhiyuan's body data by heart, he is still meticulous and rigorous.

"Don't underestimate anyone, not even an obscure Serbian youth, it has the potential to start a world war." Qin Zhiyuan stood in front of the dressing mirror and sorted out his bow tie.

There are deeper reasons for the outbreak of the world war, but this is not a seminar, there is no need to be so rigorous, Qin Zhiyuan said it very casually.

"You know what I'm talking about." Crown Prince William said otherwise.

"You know why I say that." There were not only Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince William present, but also the tailor and his assistant, as well as Pierre and two maids, Qin Zhiyuan couldn't say too thoroughly.

There are many children in the Black Swan Castle and the adjacent scout camp, some of whom are young and need to be cared for by nannies. The maids in the Black Swan Castle were hired by O'Henry to take care of the children and maintain the daily life of the Black Swan Castle.

O'Henry is Gaspard's subordinate, a professional steward who is responsible for maintaining all of Qin Zhiyuan's estates in the Boulogne Forest.

By the way, now Qin Zhiyuan has bought the entire Boulogne forest, which covers an area of 15 square kilometers and now belongs completely to Qin Zhiyuan, because of the proximity to Paris, the land here is appreciating every day.

The Bois de Boulogne was once a district of Paris in another time and space.

"It's a pity that I've already been married, otherwise I could have accompanied you to the wedding." Crown Prince William turned the conversation back to weddings.

"Forget it, you're royal, I can't afford it." Qin Zhiyuan immediately refused.

Because it is a Western-style wedding, there must be a groomsman and a courtier, and there is no shortage of candidates for this person, and Qin Zhiyuan can pull out a lot of them casually.

Although Crown Prince William is now a captive, after all, his status is noble, and it is estimated that he has never been a best man in his life, so he is quite eager to try.

Qin Zhiyuan was not sensitive to Crown Prince William's warm gratitude, in fact, according to Qin Zhiyuan's meaning, he didn't want to hold any wedding, but taking care of Julie's emotions, Qin Zhiyuan decided to act as a background board.

It is said that every woman hopes to have a wedding, even if she is a celibate, but only because she does not have the right time to meet the right person, she will inevitably feel alone when she dreams back at midnight.

"Hmph...... Yes, I don't need you to remind me, but I don't have much money right now, so don't expect me to seal a big red envelope. "Crown Prince William has studied Oriental etiquette, and he can be regarded as having a heart.

"You can participate, you don't need red envelopes or anything." Qin Zhiyuan is generous.

Now Qin Zhiyuan has been out of the realm of busy hiding when he sees a bag of gems, if it is really counted, it is estimated that no one in the whole of France is richer than Qin Zhiyuan, including the old Renault.

Penicillin, LLL Company, and even the United Oil Company, which has begun to generate profits, the airport in partnership with the old Renault, and the Standard Oil, which has not yet started, are all big financiers, and the old Renault may be very rich, but there are more real estate, and if you really want to calculate the cash flow, the old Renault may not necessarily have more than Qin Zhiyuan.

"Uh...... I'm going to forget that you're a rich man now. "When it comes to money, Crown Prince William is also short of breath.

Although Crown Prince William is a royal family, he is also a poor jingle.

The current imperial family is long gone, the power is getting smaller and smaller, the wealth is shrinking, including the Kaiser, has begun to gradually transition to the "mascot", more just a symbol, a little more symbolic.

There are also a lot of properties under the name of Crown Prince William, but they are basically money-losing goods, such as those castles and manors, not to mention that they can't generate any profits, and they have to invest huge sums of money in maintenance, and even the fiefs under the name of Crown Prince William have to pay for financial subsidies by Crown Prince William himself, so calculated, Prince William is indeed unconfident.

"It's easy to make money, just wait, if there is a chance after the war, maybe we can do something together." Qin Zhiyuan paints cakes.

It's not a pie painting, and when it comes to business, Germans are also very talented.

The four forms of monopoly, trusts, contzens, cartels, and syndicates, except for trusts, are prevalent in the United States, and the remaining three are all popular in Germany, which shows that the Germans have strict business coordination.

"What do you fancy again?" Crown Prince William was vigilant.

"Don't be nervous all day, if I really like something about you, I'll ask you directly after the war." Qin Zhiyuan is confident.

"Are you so confident that Germany will be defeated?" Crown Prince William does not shy away from this question.

"Do you still think that Germany can win?" Qin Zhiyuan cross-examined.

At this point, only the Germans thought they still had the strength to fight a war, and others, including Austria-Hungary, had been in frequent contact with the Allies lately to find a way to armistice.

"We will not give in!" Although Crown Prince William was unwilling, he also had to face the facts.

"Well, sir, what do you think is wrong?" With the help of two assistants, the old tailor finally helped Qin Zhiyuan put on the dress, and looking at Qin Zhiyuan in the mirror, the old tailor was very satisfied.

There is no reason to be dissatisfied, Qin Zhiyuan is a natural clothes rack, with a standard figure, well-proportioned muscles, and a tall posture, such a person can wrap up a casual and casual even if he is wrapped in a sheet.

"Very nice, thank you very much!" Qin Zhiyuan was also very satisfied, this tailor shop, which was said to have served the French royal family in the past, did have a set.

Well, 20,000 francs were not spent in vain, this time it was just the cost of two dresses.

To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan feels no different from the latest casual suit launched by "Hunter" clothing.

Although Qin Zhiyuan was very satisfied, the old tailor still found some flaws, and then the clothes were ripped off again, and the old tailor had to take them back for modification.

In Qin Zhiyuan's view, that is, the difference between 99 points and 100 points, the old tailor is strict, and it is estimated that it also makes Qin Zhiyuan feel the value of the money.

Instructed O'Henry to send the old tailor away, Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince William back to the office.

"I'm skeptical now, how many submarines do you have?" When there were only two people left, Crown Prince William did not hide it.

"What does it matter? We're not going to go to war with each other anyway. "Qin Zhiyuan didn't have much hostility towards Germany.

"I'm just curious, your unit has only been trained for three months to be able to carry out such a large-scale battle plan, and our submarine force has been fighting the British for three years, and it still doesn't look perfect." Crown Prince William is demanding.

How do I explain that? Let's wait for the post-war, after the war, we can do some technical exchanges. "Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want the current Crown Prince William to come into contact with too many secrets.

If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to see anything if he showed him the drawings of the submarine. But for a soldier like Crown Prince William, even a glance at the shape of a submarine can make him speculate a lot.

At this time, some basic theories of aerodynamics had just appeared, and they were not enough to support the birth of a discipline.

But for some, the streamlined shape doesn't need much reminder, just a glance to understand the value.

Although the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince Wilhelm is good, France and Germany are still at war after all, and many things still have to be kept secret, after all, there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched, otherwise it will cause a strong backlash.

"It's a shame that if we had known each other ten years ago." Crown Prince William is indeed a pity.

"Ten years ago? If it had been ten years ago, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been interested in me. "Qin Zhiyuan has already seen through it.

The so-called "don't fight, don't know each other", if Qin Zhiyuan didn't impress Crown Prince William on the battlefield, then I'm afraid Prince William wouldn't look at Qin Zhiyuan squarely.

If you want people to pay attention, you must first have the qualifications to make people pay attention.

"Ah, we don't have to pay for someone else's mistakes." Crown Prince William was a little embarrassed.

Qin Zhiyuan immediately understood what Crown Prince William meant, this was for the German invasion of Qingdao in the Republic of China.

"Look to the future......" Qin Zhiyuan could only say.

Seeing off Crown Prince William, George Legge came to visit.

Georges Legge is the current French Minister of the Navy, and he had several dealings with Qin, especially after the two sides began to work together to improve submarines.

"Qin, your courage is too great." George Legge looked at Qin Zhiyuan with a complicated look.

After seeing the news of the attack on the Dutch fleet, George Legge immediately understood that this must have been done by Qin Zhiyuan. Unlike the Dutch, George Legge knew that Qin Zhiyuan had submarines in his hands, and even knew the exact number.

"It should be a test of the combat effectiveness of the submarine force for you." Qin Zhiyuan didn't hide George Leger, it didn't make any sense.

For these big shots, it really doesn't make sense to hide the situation, even if it is the Queen of the Netherlands, even if she knows that Qin Zhiyuan has a submarine in her hand, she is helpless.

What can I do?

Let's not talk about whether Qin Zhiyuan will admit it, if the Queen of the Netherlands believes that Qin Zhiyuan has the power to attack, then the French government only needs to track down the intelligence source of the Queen of the Netherlands, and the Queen of the Netherlands will have a lot of troubles in the first place.

Qin Zhiyuan is more likely not to admit it, then the Queen of the Netherlands also has no way, because it is impossible for her to directly send troops to Corsica to search, not to mention whether it can be fought or not, the French government is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

In the final analysis, the quality of the relationship still depends on the strength to speak, if Borneo is not in the hands of the Dutch, but in the hands of the British, then Qin Zhiyuan will be much more cautious.

"The problem is, those submarines don't belong to the French Navy." George Legge wants good.

"Hey, hey, you can't be too greedy, you also have information on Q series submarines, how much do you want to build yourself." Qin Zhiyuan was not fooled.

So far, many Chinese have joined the French nationality with Qin Zhiyuan, and of course they are still in the army of the Foreign Legion. However, there are also voices in Congress that are debating whether it is necessary for these Chinese who have become French citizens to remain in the Foreign Legion.

Looking at George Leger's meaning, he wanted to dig a foot in the wall from Qin Zhiyuan's submarine force, which was absolutely unacceptable to Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan joined the Foreign Legion, and even encouraged Chinese to join the Foreign Legion, just to borrow chickens to lay eggs, Qin Zhiyuan is not like chickens and eggs.

"Of course it's not about submarines." George Legge has a big plan.

"Let's talk about it." Qin Zhiyuan was noncommittal.

"I heard that your power research institute is working on a new torpedo that can reach speeds of up to 50 knots, is there such a thing?" George Legge stared at Qin Zhiyuan's eyes.

"George, you can't infiltrate my institute, it's a trade secret, you must stop doing this, or I'll terminate all ongoing cooperation with the military department." Qin Zhiyuan was furious.

George Legge was stunned, looking at Qin Zhiyuan's reaction, it was not the same as in the script!
