Chapter 2142 The French Attitude 2    (Page 1/1)

"We may have to bear many pressures in the future, either economic or political or even military. The British are already incompatible with us. Russia may be a political party that has no good intentions towards us in the future. If we are as stable as the Belgians, we may be a colonial power. We have more than tens of millions of square kilometers of colonies in Africa. We are like rich people walking in the dark, with a lot of gold coins in their hands, but we are unable to protect them." Prime Minister Ribo said: "Of course, I am not saying that we must form an alliance with allies, but we must at least be inclined. We are friendly with the Germans because we are unable to resist the Germans' military fronts, and we cooperate with the Americans because the United States can provide us with enough money and there is no direct conflict between us."

"This idea is very good, and it maintains a reasonable relationship with most countries. But unfortunately, maybe one day, we will have to make a choice between Germany and the United States. This war has left the old dominators in this world with the throne, and there are two new dominators, Germany and the United States. Although they are allies now, their goal is the whole world! There will be conflicts between them sooner or later, and there are even clues now. So good now the problem is coming."

"If Britain, France and Russia are not enough to fight against Germany and Austria, then if the Americans stand in the opposite direction of Germany in the future, then how should we choose? If we have no choice because of fear, then Britain and Russia have reasons and capabilities to avenge Germany. Britain has a large fleet and air force as a barrier, and even if Russia is weakened, it is still a big country. If the United States, Britain and Russia stand together, where will we go?" President Armand said that those who can become the leader of a powerful country are definitely not a good deal. He keenly discovered the undercurrents and surging contradictions under the relationship between the United States and Germany, and then raised a very difficult question!

When the opportunity comes, should the French choose to fight again? Or do nothing? Or stand on the side of the Germans this time? This is really a question worth considering! Even if the Germans let go of the French this time, France has no hatred for Germany? That is impossible, but if we really face the Germans' blade again, the French are also unstable. After all, the United States, Britain and Russia have room for maneuver, but France does not! To put it bluntly, even if the United States, Britain and Russia can win in the end, once the battlefield is in France, then there is no difference between France winning or losing!

What is there to say? When two elephants are friendly, the unlucky one is the weed next to them, and when fighting, the unlucky one is the weed next to them. And France is the weed next to them...

"This topic is too far away. Maybe when the second war comes, some of us have passed away. However, if I choose, unless Germany's defeat is a foregone conclusion, I would never agree to let France fight against Germany again! Because we are too close to Germany! Our territory is too small." Beta said.

"Okay, this question is a bit far away and a bit heavy. Let's not discuss it for the time being, so what about now? Is there any noteworthy news in Germany?" asked President Armand.

"The negotiations between the German Emperor and the political party have not yet ended. In a short period of time, we may not be able to take into account the battlefield and diplomacy. We tentatively communicated with some members of the Social Democratic Party and showed the kindness of the French parliament, and the latter's response was also friendly. The German Emperor had no contact yet." Prime Minister Ribo said. The French are not stupid, so they naturally would not put all the treasures on one person. The French have no good feelings for the German Emperor, but they still have some good feelings for the parliamentary faction that belongs to the same party. After all, everyone has similar ideas!

The German parliamentary faction also hopes to have a relatively relaxed external environment. On the premise that the Bavarian Kingdom is willing to let France go, the parliamentary faction is willing to do a favor. This is what it means to follow the trend. The parliamentary faction's mentality is also one of the reasons why Ruprecht believes that letting France go will not arouse domestic opposition!

"Well, so far, it seems we have bet right. If we can sign a treaty with the Germans at a smaller price, it would be a blessing in disgrace." President Armand said.

"What about the Americans? The Americans proposed to open the economic rights of the colonies in exchange for loans and aid, and made a vague statement that the military forces of the United States and France can communicate with each other." Gallieni asked.

"Is there any military communication? This is not a good thing." Betton thought for a while and said, "I think that within 10 years after the end of the war, France's military construction should be low-key. At this time, the Germans have not yet removed their vigilance against us, and we do not have enough funds to support military construction. Of course, we do not need to offend the United States. We can let General Wei Gang explain to Roosevelt that the French Republic is not interested in the future international hegemony, and we just want to live our own lives."

"You are very cunning." President Armand said with a smile. Betan means to be politically good at everything and military conservative and neutral. After the war, France will not be able to support the war from the perspective of human, material and financial resources. Moreover, people are at ease. In this case, any military aggression is a burden to France, and it has no meaning except to provoke the vigilance and dissatisfaction of other powerful countries around. The French can discuss economic cooperation with the Americans, or even sell the privileges of some colonies in exchange for economic aid, but it is better to wash and sleep in the military matters!

"So now, is it necessary for us to arrange for people to contact Crown Prince Ruprecht?" Prime Minister Ribo said after thinking about it.

"Wait first, the British surrender is expected, but this is an important time node after all. At this time, both the British and German sides have to reassess the situation on both sides. The British must have a peace talk, and the Germans also have to offer their prices. It is not good for us to get together at this time. Of course, if we can contact us through some private channels, it is also OK. If possible, Queen William Minna's husband should be a very good entry point. Didn't we contact the Germans before?" President Armand said.
