At the end of October, Pierre visited Lanfon as a special envoy of French President Alexandre Millerand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This was the first official contact between France and Lanfang after the dissolution of the alliance between France and Lanfang, and in order to achieve the purpose of connecting the feelings, Millerand chose Pierre as a special envoy was also painstaking.
Although Qin Zhiyuan was a little dissatisfied with France, in the face of Pierre, Qin Zhiyuan was still able to adjust his mentality and receive Pierre according to the standard of receiving state guests.
Julie and Qin Zhiyuan went to the Coconut City Pier to meet Pierre, according to the rules, Pierre did not meet this specification, but this is also one of the reasons why Millerand chose Pierre as a special envoy.
To Qin Zhiyuan and Julie's surprise, Pierre actually brought a female companion, and only after the introduction did they know that this is a member of the Rockefeller family in the United States, Sydney Wollaston, the granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller, the founder of the Rockefeller family.
It was another political marriage, but Pierre was not dissatisfied with what he meant.
After getting into the car, Pierre sighed and said: "I have reached the age of marriage, Anne has urged several times, since I can't drag it out, then choose one that will help me in the future, it's not bad." ”
"Of course - you should find a good helper, to be honest, I'm used to seeing you unkempt, and now it's a little unaccustomed to making it so neat." Qin Zhiyuan laughed casually.
Pierre used to be a standard bachelor, and the result was that no one cared about it and no one asked, and it was normal for Pierre to look for one in the laundry basket when he didn't have a clean shirt. Now that Pierre is finally willing to get married, this is a good thing for Pierre, Foch and Anne, at least it can finally reassure Foch and his family.
Of course, although it is a political marriage, Qin Zhiyuan will not ask if it is not fair enough to that girl, it is meaningless, born in a wealthy family, enjoying everything provided by the family, you have to bear the corresponding obligations, only those who fantasize about getting something for nothing will ask if there is fairness in this world, in the final analysis, fairness needs to be fought for by your own efforts.
"The Rockefellers -- this is a big guy, so now that means you're not going to be the governor of Madagascar for a long time?" Qin Zhiyuan thought about it.
"Yes, when I return to France, I will go back to Parliament, and if there is no accident, I will be the next Speaker." Pierre doesn't mince words.
Eating soft rice may be a shame for civilians, but for some ambitious bigwigs, it's not a thing at all. Pierre and Sydney Wollaston are together, of course the Rockefeller family will provide corresponding help, but at the same time, the Rockefeller family must also have requirements for Pierre, this back and forth, which is equivalent to an exchange, since it is an exchange, there is no soft rice cloth soft rice.
"So what kind of changes will you bring to our relationship after you take office, Mr. Speaker?" Qin Zhiyuan was a little surprised, Pierre became the speaker of the French parliament, which is much better than someone else's being the speaker.
"Nothing will change - even if I want to restore the alliance between Lanfang and France now, will you agree?" Pierre counter-generals.
"Hehe, it's just a joke, don't mind." Qin Zhiyuan was immediately embarrassed.
To be honest, even if Pierre is now the president of France, if he wants to restore the relationship between Lanfang and France, Qin Zhiyuan has to think about it. It is indeed good to have France as an ally, but if this is a France that is extremely hostile to Germany, Qin Zhiyuan is really not very interested.
The most direct reason is that France's performance in international competitiveness is not as good as Germany's, whether it is military or economic, France's potential is not as good as Germany's, if Qin Zhiyuan is asked to choose an ally in Europe, aside from the Pierre factor, Qin Zhiyuan is more willing to choose Germany.
Lan Fang is now going to support Germany, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the French, if France is still an ally with Lan Fang, Lan Fang will have to consider the opinions of the French, now that the alliance has been dissolved, then don't talk about those who have not.
"I knew you would." Pierre was not surprised by Qin Zhiyuan's attitude.
"What does this mean by Alexander?" Qin Zhiyuan was still a little curious.
"No, Alexander can't pull that face now, don't you know, Congress is now quarreling every day, for the aid of the Americans, agriculture has to be subsidized, industry has to be restarted, and the army has to have more budgets, and Alexander can't take care of you now." Pierre's expression was mocking, perhaps more mournful than dead.
"And what are you doing here?" Qin Zhiyuan was suddenly excited.
It's not that Qin Zhiyuan wants to restore relations with France, Qin Zhiyuan wants to see Alexander Millerand's jokes.
Qin Zhiyuan is not a magnanimous person, since Alexander Millerand betrayed Qin Zhiyuan's friendship, Qin Zhiyuan would be happy to see Alexander Millerand's bad luck, if Pierre is Alexander Millerand's lobbyist, Qin Zhiyuan will ridicule it, and then what should it be.
"On behalf of the French government, I have come to visit Marshal Foch." Pierre found a good reason.
"To be honest, this reason is very bad, you have to be prepared to be beaten, I won't help you." Qin Zhiyuan hugged his arms and watched the show for a long time.
Foch has always been unabashed about Pierre, when Pierre became governor of Madagascar, he told Foch that he would make a career in the position of governor, and now Madagascar is a mess, and Pierre pats his ass but wants to return to France, which is certainly not welcomed by Foch.
Madagascar is indeed a mess, when the Lanfang Foreign Legion was in Madagascar, the Malagasy people were forcefully suppressed by the Foreign Legion, and from Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, to the north, there was almost no room for the Malagasy people to live. After France and Lanfang came into contact with the alliance, Pierre Cong Lanfang's mercenary behavior was fiercely criticized by the French Congress, and Pierre had to terminate the employment contract with Lanfang's military department.
After the Lanfang Foreign Legion left Madagascar, the Malagasy people made a comeback again, and there were traces of Malagasy near Antananarivo, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the Malagasy people will launch a more violent counterattack.
But that's not Pierre's concern, it's the next governor of Madagascar.
Just as Qin Zhiyuan said, when the convoy returned to the Lanfang Palace, Foch and Anne were waiting at the gate of the palace.
Although Foch did not go to the docks, Julie had already reported the presence of Sydney Wollaston by phone, which made Foch and Anne immediately overjoyed.
Foch's life is also difficult, one of his two sons died in battle, and the remaining son still maintains celibacy, the old couple has no choice but to follow their daughter to Lanfang, which can be regarded as leaving their hometown, and now I hear that Pierre has finally accepted his heart, and Foch's joy can be imagined.
As a wealthy lady, Sydney Wollaston was obviously well educated, and when greeting Foch and Anne, she behaved very decently, without the slightest arrogance and arrogance, which made Anne very satisfied.
Foch was also satisfied, so much so that when he heard that Pierre had stepped down as governor of Madagascar, he only snorted coldly, making an exception and not getting angry.
Pierre obviously had the feeling of escaping, and secretly grimaced at Qin Zhiyuan.
The living room is still lively, Julie took Qin De and Qin Zhi out to ask Pierre for red envelopes, Pierre is obviously prepared, Sydney Wollaston also has a greeting gift, it seems that Pierre still knew the oriental etiquette before coming, at least so far there has been no rudeness.
Then several women began to focus on parenting, fashion and other women's topics, Foch was really depressed when he heard it, and simply went to the office with Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre, leaving a group of women chatting in the living room.
The office was much cleaner than the living room, and Foch and Pierre breathed a sigh of relief when they entered the office, as if they were disgusted with the thousands of ducks.
When he arrived here, Qin Zhiyuan began to act as a waiter, pouring wine for Pierre, making tea for Foch, bringing himself a glass of ice water, and several people sat on the terrace and chatted comfortably.
"So, the Rockefeller family will fully support you?" After listening to Pierre's explanation, it was obvious that Foch had a long test.
"Yes, the Rockefellers will use all their power to fight for 30 years so that I can run for president of France." Pierre does not hide his ambitions for the presidency.
"Then you have to be careful, there is no such thing as a free lunch." Foch offered his own advice.
"I know, the capitalists -- that's their investment." Pierre was well aware of this.
"What are you going to do with Germany?" Foch asks a very sharp question.
Germans, this is an unavoidable hurdle in front of all French people, if Pierre wants to become the president of France, then he must think clearly about the relationship with Germany, if it is not done properly, even if Pierre comes to power, he will be ousted by the French again, just like Deschnell before.
"Now we can only maintain the status quo, and when I become president, it is estimated that the Franco-German contradiction will no longer be the main contradiction, and we can reorient our relations with Germany." Pierre did think about it and immediately gave his own answer.
"Beware of the German threat, Germany is too close to France - if there is another world war, France will probably not be able to withstand the German attack." Foch was not optimistic about the prospects for the Franco-German war.
"No, if we go to war with Germany again, we will still be able to withstand the German attack, and this time we will actually fight Berlin." Pierre had confidence, just didn't know where it came from.
"Arrogance! If everyone else thinks the same way as you, then France is in danger, and if there is another world war, do you think the Germans will attack Paris with horse-drawn carriages, no, they will come with tanks, and then what will France use to resist? What else is there to say about hitting Paris - I'm afraid the defense line will collapse before it can be organized. Foch was not at all polite, and once again scolded Pierre for blood.
Foch was in Lanfang's staff and had organized many battle drills, especially after Hindenburg came to Lanfang, Foch and Hindenburg, the old rivals, would personally go into battle every time.
Of course, the result did not satisfy Foch, and the "possibility" that Foch said was the result of the speculation of Lanfang's staff.
