After leaving the Renault factory, Qin Zhiyuan went to the French Embassy to find Lu Zhengxiang.

It is a big deal to set up a factory for transfer machines. Qin Zhiyuan is in Europe and cannot reach it. He needs the cooperation of the country. In France in 1916, Qin Zhiyuan is not sure whether the French are monitoring the phone now. Out of habit, Qin Zhiyuan still went to the embassy in person.

The diplomatic relations between the Republic of China and France are now only at the ministerial level. The two sides have not established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level, so the embassy in France is also a ministerial embassy.

On the way, Qin Zhiyuan asked Julie: "What did you want to remind me just now?"

Julie and Qin Zhiyuan went to the embassy together. Now Julie wanted to declare her relationship with Qin Zhiyuan in the newspaper and didn't want to leave Qin Zhiyuan's side for a minute.

"If you need some information or formulas, you don't need to find old Louis, just find Pierre. It will be more convenient and quicker if Pierre comes forward." Julie looked at Qin Zhiyuan and laughed.

Girls are outgoing, and they tell the truth that will be passed down through the ages.

"Louis is a businessman, and Pierre is a soldier. For this kind of thing, it is more appropriate to ask a businessman to come forward." Qin Zhiyuan disagreed. He didn't want this matter to be tainted with too much military color.

Whether it is this time and space or another time and space, conspiracy theories are very popular. No matter what the matter is, as long as it involves the country, various versions can be made up.

"No, it is inappropriate because Louis is a businessman. Louis will definitely not want to see your country have strong strength. You know, your country is now a major customer of Renault. If you have production capacity, then Renault will get nothing. Pierre is different. Pierre is a soldier, a pure soldier. Pierre doesn't have as many thoughts as a businessman. From a military perspective, soldiers hope that their allies will have stronger strength." Julie has been in the Renault factory for some time and knows some things that Qin Zhiyuan doesn't know.

"You make a lot of sense. I'm so lucky that you're on my side." Qin Zhiyuan praised without hesitation. He really ignored this question: "I originally wanted to give a large sum of money to old Renault. Now it seems that this money can be saved. Should I give you something to express my gratitude?"

"Forgive me, as a lady, I can't just accept things from others." Julie smiled and flirted.

"Please, my goddess, don't reject me. For my poor sake, please accept my humble offering." Qin Zhiyuan knows how to cater to others.

In the winter of 1916 in Paris, because of the cold weather, the leaves on the roadside landscape trees had fallen off, and it looked very bleak. The war caused a shortage of oil supply. There were not many cars on the street, and there were not many pedestrians. It looked a bit deserted. Although the billboards in front of the shops on both sides of the road were still bright, there were few customers coming in and out, which directly reflected the impact of the war on people's livelihood.

There were few vehicles on the road, and Qin Zhiyuan soon came to the Beiyang Government's Embassy in France on Babylon Road.

The embassy is in a building on Babylon Road. The sign is not very conspicuous. Qin Zhiyuan searched for a long time before finding it. Entering the embassy, ​​Qin Zhiyuan was even more disappointed. The Nationalist government only rented two floors of this building, and there were other tenants in the building. Because there are many residents, the environment is noisy, and the noise of children crying and women screaming makes people upset. The sanitation is not very good. Even the stairs are not cleaned. The chaos in the corridor is comparable to the tube building where Qin Zhiyuan lived in another time and space.

Lu Zhengxiang went to the UK, and Hu Weide, the ambassador to France, received Qin Zhiyuan in his office.

Last time, Hu Weide did not attend the cocktail party hosted by old Renault to welcome Qin Zhiyuan for some reason. This is the first time Qin Zhiyuan has seen Hu Weide.

Hu Weide was a Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty. He is 53 years old this year. He is not tall, slightly fat, with obvious bags under his eyes, and two moustaches that make people impressive.

"General Qin, I have heard of you for a long time." Seeing Qin Zhiyuan, Hu Weide was very enthusiastic.

Because of Qin Zhiyuan's appearance, the French government has paid more attention to the Republic of China, and Hu Weide's recent work has become much smoother. Hu Weide is full of gratitude for Qin Zhiyuan.

"Mr. Hu, I have heard of you for a long time." Qin Zhiyuan showed proper respect. He will have to deal with Hu Weide in the future. Maintaining a good relationship is beneficial to both parties.

Julie came up with Qin Zhiyuan. Although Hu Weide saw that the two were close, he was not very clear about the relationship between Julie and Qin Zhiyuan, so he did not rashly say hello.

"This is Julie, Julie Foch, she has an amazing father." Qin Zhiyuan took the initiative to introduce.

Taking the initiative to clarify the relationship with Julie is very beneficial to Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan's behavior of organizing troops to join the Foreign Legion, strictly speaking, is a proactive violation of the original intention of the Beiyang government. The Beiyang government did not intend to send troops to participate in the war in Europe. Qin Zhiyuan's behavior disrupted the Beiyang government's plan. By the time the Beiyang government learned of Qin Zhiyuan's appearance, Qin Zhiyuan had already joined the Foreign Legion. Since the fact had already been established, the Beiyang government could only acquiesce to Qin Zhiyuan's existence.

Although the Beiyang government tacitly acknowledged Qin Zhiyuan's existence, it did not mean that the Beiyang government would accept Qin Zhiyuan. These were two completely different concepts. If Qin Zhiyuan did not show a certain level of strength, the Beiyang government might send generals to pick peaches. This was very likely to happen. Qin Zhiyuan could not sit back and watch this happen, so it was necessary to clarify his relationship with Foch, at least so that the Beiyang government would pay more attention to Qin Zhiyuan when making decisions.

"Foch? Is it the General Foch of the Northern Corps?" Hu Weide was surprised.

"Yes, that's the one." Qin Zhiyuan affirmed.

"Madam, your beauty shines here." As the ambassador to France, Hu Weide speaks good French and can communicate fluently with the French.

This work was organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Thank you." Julie thanked politely.

After the courtesy, Hu Weide invited Qin Zhiyuan to sit on the sofa.

"General Qin's actions were unexpected and amazing." Hu Weide had not yet fully digested the shock of this information.

Qin Zhiyuan's appearance was an accident in itself, and unexpected behavior was Qin Zhiyuan's label. At this point, everyone had to adapt to Qin Zhiyuan's existence. Qin Zhiyuan himself was a general of the Foreign Legion. If Foch's help was added, Qin Zhiyuan would become a force that could not be ignored, at least in the Beiyang government.

"In extraordinary times, helpless actions." Qin Zhiyuan could only sigh that the times made heroes, and this sentence was applicable to all times.

"That's right, extraordinary people do extraordinary things." Hu Wei De praised.

The two were flattering each other, and the phone on the desk rang, and Hu Wei De went to answer the phone.

"Hello, this is the Embassy of the Republic of China in France... Please, please call the ticket booking number? This is not a movie theater." Hu Wei De put down the phone and shook his head repeatedly.

"The movie theater is downstairs next door, and they are all owned by the same landlord. The phone here and the phone in the movie theater are on the same line, and they often cross the line. There is no way." Hu Wei De sat back on the sofa and explained to Qin Zhiyuan in detail.

Embassy, ​​what a high-sounding term. Qin Zhiyuan’s aspirations were all shattered.
