Chapter 12 The Proud Man
"Is this damn Chinese Federation going to go against us?"
Ramsey McDonald at No. 10 Downing Street gritted his teeth. If he could, he would definitely crush the "Satan Eagle" between his teeth. Admirals Churchill, Douglas Heg, and Admiral John Jelico, who were specially invited, couldn't help but worry secretly when he looked at his expression. After all, dealing with the "Satan Eagle" is not a good suggestion.
"Mr. Prime Minister, in my personal opinion, we may be able to negotiate with the Federation of China. The interests of the Middle East are very important, but if we fight against the Federation of China for this benefit, it is not a wise move!"
"We agree with Mr. Churchill, especially the 'Satan Eagle' is a greedy guy. He will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to annex or destroy the colonies around us!"
Prime Minister Ramsey McDonald's brows frowned. He never expected that Churchill, who was extremely tenacious in politics, would be so weak. He never expected that the two generals who achieved brilliant results in World War I would retreat so much.
"My God, what the hell is going on? Is that Satan Eagle so scary?"
Although there have been some absurd rumors from the French, can the Prime Minister of a country use these rumors to determine the fate of the country? Of course, not, especially because of that absurd thing, can't Iran give up on some achievements? This is probably not a good opinion.
"Sir, I plan to mobilize all the British manpower and material resources to teach those cowards in Iran. They are just a group of robbers who only know how to kidnap and blackmail. I think it's time to deal with them!"
The three people who were specially invited looked at each other. They could see from each other's eyes that the Prime Minister's head in front of him was obviously not very normal. The "European Joint Force" had not been able to retreat from the Chinese Federation. Of course, there were some reasons for the British Empire at that time. So now...
"Sirs can see that you are very worried. But this time I want to say that we have quite a lot of favorable conditions. And here, I want to reveal a secret to you, that is, this time we have strong allies!"
"Who else will there be a powerful allies in the Middle East besides France? Is it the United States, no, they cannot! They are now isolationists, and even for this they have given up the opportunity to join forces with the Chinese Federation to obtain benefits! So, who are the allies this time?"
The three of them looked at the Prime Minister who was indifferent and guessed who he had pulled into this war. After all, there are not many countries that dare to oppose the Chinese Federation now.
The United States isolates, Germany and Italy, two countries that fight in Spain, do not pay attention to the Middle East at all. Moreover, they have close ties with the Chinese Federation in private, and the only thing left is France. However, the French have suffered many losses in the process of competing with the Chinese Federation. Do they still dare this time?
British Prime Minister Ramsey McDonald raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, with a hint of pride on his face as if he was mocking those of them who were deeply wary and fearful of the Chinese Federation.
"They are coming in soon, and I suggest that we all stand up to show respect for my close allies!"
Just as the three of them looked at the office door in confusion, a knock sounded.
"Please come in!"
Prime Minister Ramsey McDonald probably knew in advance who was here. Therefore, the word "please come in" is full of politicians' attitude. Even if the news from Iran is not good, his face still showed a strong expression of confidence and optimistic future.
"General Wei Gang!"
He was born in 1867 and was from the famous French military academy, Saint-Sil. He served as the head of the French military mission to Poland from 1920 to 1922, responsible for the training and logistics supply of the Polish army. In 1923, he served as the chief military adviser to Syria and Lebanon.
"Hello, Mr. Churchill, two generals. It is my honor to meet you here!"
The education of the French Saint-Silles Military Academy made him develop the kind of polite habit of French officers. Although in the eyes of the British, the French officers were a bit too wild. Although they were brave in war, they were not the best soldiers. This is the view of the British officers who fought life and death with the Germans on the battlefield. In addition, they also believed that the French were often too proud, which was also their fatal weakness.
Churchill even suspected that President Alexander Millerland, the French government, wanted to snatch the treasury. Perhaps he suffered too little losses in the hands of the "Satan Eagle", which made him misunderstand that the Chinese Federation is not so impeccable.
However, British Prime Minister Ramsey MacDonald seemed to trust the French general in front of him. Compared with his cautious attitude towards British politicians and British generals, he was dissatisfied with the Chinese Federation's cautious attitude.
"General Wei Gang, you are here just in time. We are discussing the situation in the Middle East. Obviously, some hostile countries are also deeply interested in this region. If you can say what you said to me again, then I think it can solve the doubts in your hearts!"
Wei Gang could obviously hear what the British Prime Minister Ramsey MacDonald meant. He looked at the people in front of him and was not in a hurry to speak. On the contrary, he greeted the people who had forgotten to give up their seats and chose a seat that looked quite comfortable.
After sitting down, he looked up and looked at the people, coughed to clear his throat and attract attention. Then he used his slow and soft voice to tell the people in front of him about the things that excited British Prime Minister Ramsey MacDonald.
"I have a point of view. Any war that causes a possible direct confrontation with the Chinese Federation is not a good choice. If someone chooses such a fighting method, I think we French will never participate in this war that can cause great losses. Do you agree with my point of view?

—————————————————————————————————————————————”
After Wei Gang said that, he waited for a moment, as if he was waiting for others to object. Just as the British called the French a "Gallic rooster", in the eyes of the French, the British were just dogmatic and clumsy "John's Bull".
"Well, it seems that all of you all agree with this view. So I think based on this fact, we do not have to fight against the Chinese Federation. This is probably the best choice and the principle that our two countries must abide by in this matter. So in this case, can we not do further, or just a political solution?"
After saying that, Wei Gang looked at the few people with some pride. He could see that Churchill, including him, did not fully understand what kind of pattern the process of this matter would proceed. Seeing this, his excitement and pride in his heart became even more clear. Because, all the people in front of him were people who had dealt with the Chinese Federation or the "Satan Eagle".
If they hadn't guessed what the French had thought of, then it's very likely that the Satan Eagle wouldn't understand the problem. Then when the general figured it out, the whole thing could have developed into another way.
"General Wei Gang, I cannot deny that France and his people have extremely extraordinary wisdom. Although we all have suffered a lot of torture in the hands of the Satan Eagle. But I ask you to believe that we British people, if we can establish a tacit understanding with the Federation of China through some means, then we will be very welcome!"
Churchill was obviously not satisfied with the arrogance shown by Wei Gang, who had some new ideas, but if it could make the Chinese Federation less aggressive, it would still be in line with the interests of the British in the Middle East and the world.
Moreover, it has also been pointed out in one sentence that the French are not so arrogant, at least if they suffer losses. Since the end of World War I, the French have paid enough prices.
From this point of view alone, he really couldn't see anything the French had to be proud of.
Churchill's "pointing acupoint" made Wei Gang somewhat embarrassed, but when he thought of the way to deal with the "Satan Eagle", which came from France, especially from himself, he became happy and proud again in his heart.
"Yes, Mr. Churchill, I cannot deny that since the Satan Eagle began his career in Nancy, we have caused a lot of trouble. And because of these troubles, we France have indeed suffered a lot of losses. But what I want to say is, 'If God wants to destroy it, he will first make it crazy'. I think our Satan Eagle and his companions have been crazy for too long. It is time for them to understand that the real world is not based on their wishful thinking."
Seeing the two sides gradually becoming a little nervous, British Prime Minister Ramsey McDonald coughed and called back the dissatisfied people back into reality. He had to let them understand that this is not the time to discuss these unpleasant issues.
In addition, he felt a little regretful. He just raised the Frenchman a little, and seemed not that wise.
