"Regarding the matter of the French-occupied area, the three countries will coordinate with each other, and they will naturally move in at the same time. When we arrived, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already filed a record." Alan Wilson informed the French representative, and then said, "I believe France is now
Although there was some depression, it recovered quickly."
After all, France's foundation is still very good. Agriculture may not seem important in modern society, but it is a fatal problem. If agriculture is stable, a country will not be in chaos. France is exactly an agricultural empire.
Occupying the best land in Europe, this condition is so superior that both world wars affected a large area of France, but there was no food crisis in France. If France's mainland area was larger, it might be in the international food order.
The United States will step aside.
Eiffle emphasized to the French representatives present, "We in the UK have always expected France to play a greater role in the post-war order, because in a sense, Britain and France must do this."
The formal communication about the French-occupied area has ended. Alan Wilson, who knows that the French enjoy exquisite life, left the other party to rest in the representative office and prepare to have a drink by the way.
"The French are difficult to deal with. It's too difficult to deal with them, even if we have good intentions. Although I also understand that at this time, it is only right for the French to stand with us." Aiful held a wine glass.
Blocking in front of the mouth, eyes on the French representative, whispering to Alan Wilson.
"There is no way, just join the group to keep warm. I just hope the French understand the current predicament of our two countries." Alan Wilson nodded with a sullen face, and then walked to the side of the French representative with a gentle smile. Necessary social interaction is necessary
.
After a while, Alan Wilson was already in the middle of the French representatives. Although he did not know much about French politics, he still knew one basic thing. Every country has civil servants.
Inquiring about information is most effective among this group, which is also part of Alan Wilson's job. Of course, this can be done through small talk. If there is a topic on which the British and French have the most consistent attitudes, it is not about Germany.
The issue of demarcation of occupied areas, colonies!
As the former makers of the world order, both Britain and France still retain nominally huge colonies. The area of unindependent colonies in the hands of the two countries exceeds 40 million square kilometers. Britain became one of the three giants at the Yalta Conference, and then Britain helped France gain control of the world.
The German-occupied areas are all the result of these colonies.
If it does not have colonies in its hands, the two former colonial empires of Britain and France are nothing. Alan Wilson understands this better than anyone else. If there is no way to hold on to some colonies, Britain will inevitably become a yes man in a few decades. The only way is to find a way
Only by preserving some important places can Britain have its own voice.
Countries in the same situation as the UK are not just France, the Netherlands, Portugal or even Belgium.
"Pierre!" Pouring a glass for Pierre Le Mans, Alan Wilson asked at the same time, "Our two countries now have a common situation. Before I left British India, I heard that something happened in Vietnam.
, what do you think of that colony?"
During the World War, the French Pétain government surrendered to Germany. In the same year, Japan established a policy of marching southward with force, and the French Vichy government agreed to Japan's stationing of troops in North Vietnam. Japan and France co-administered Vietnam until this year.
However, in March, the Japanese army launched a coup, disarmed the French army, imprisoned Admiral Jean Degoux, the governor of the French Indochina Federation, and other French officers, took over the French colonial institutions, and supported Bao Da to come to power.
Subsequently, Bao Dai issued a statement announcing the restoration of independent Annan State, the abolition of the previously signed Vietnam-France protection treaty, and pledged cooperation with Japan.
When asked this question, Alan Wilson certainly asked knowingly, and Pierre Le Mans also answered very simply, "France will not accept that any country will plunder France's overseas territories for any reason."
Oh! This answer is not surprising. Alan Wilson took the initiative to reach out to touch the other party's glass and said, "I personally respect France's attitude very much. I hope everything goes well."
Both are colonial empires, but the colonial strategies of France and the United Kingdom are also different. The British government knows in its heart that those lands are colonies, and the French certainly know it in their hearts, but they also believe that the land itself is part of France.
This kind of self-talk has been around since ancient times. Based on the memory of his past life, Alan Wilson is very familiar with it. It is nothing more than ignoring the evidence that is not good for him and looking for favorable evidence.
Mentioning the status of Vietnam, you can know the current understanding of the entire colony within the French government. This is by no means a casual chat. As long as the French are firm in their current attitude, Alan Wilson believes that there will be many opportunities for cooperation between the two parties in the future.
After relaxing for a moment, Pierre Le Mans and others left the representative office. It was afternoon time, and the streets of Paris seemed to have returned to their peacetime appearance.
It must be admitted that as the originator of modern urban planning, Paris is no less well-known around the world than London, and is even more famous. The French are famous for their literature and art. In other words, they have strong soft power, which has led many countries to regard Paris.
With a strong filter, Paris syndrome even appeared.
The cause of Paris Syndrome is a mental illness caused by the huge difference between the real Paris and the imagined Paris that Japanese tourists discovered in Paris. Japanese Parisians have elegant manners, exquisite French food and luxury goods such as Louis Vuitton bags.
, when you come to Paris and see the shit on the streets, you will inevitably have a psychological gap.
To a certain extent, the translation into Chinese can be explained by the fact that people become more patriotic after leaving the country. It may be that the Japanese themselves are relatively depressed, which is why they feel so disappointed.
Now that World War II has just ended, Paris is not full of people of all kinds from the Third World. It is still exactly like old France.
"Why are there a group of people gathered in front of me?" Seeing the car slowing down, Alan Wilson asked doubtfully. To be honest, Paris' planning is very good and there shouldn't be a blockage.
"Nothing?" Pierre Le Mans, who was sitting in front, took a look and replied with some surprise.
However, Alan Wilson had already gotten out of the car and looked into the distance. He was so fast that no one else could react. Men always burst out of their potential when they see something that attracts their attention. For example, when they see a woman without clothes... she is not a...
…
A dozen women were stripped of their clothes and paraded through the streets amidst the shouts of onlookers. This was part of the post-war reckoning!
"Oh!" Alan Wilson made a strange note and looked back at Pierre Le Mans playfully.
