Chapter 39: The French Woman

"Regarding the matter of the French occupation area, our three countries will coordinate it, and they will naturally be stationed at the same time at that time. When I came, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs already had a record. Alan Wilson informed the French representatives, and then said, "I believe that France, although it is now somewhat depressed, is recovering very quickly." ”

After all, the foundation of France is still very good, and agriculture seems unimportant in modern society, but it is a fatal problem. Agriculture is stable, a country will not go into chaos, France is precisely an empire in terms of agriculture.

Occupying the best land in Europe, this condition is superior, the two world wars have affected a large part of France, but there is no food crisis in France, if the area of France is larger, maybe the United States will stand aside in the international food order.

"We in England have always wanted France to play a greater role in the post-war order, because in a sense they have to," he stressed to the French delegates in the audience. ”

Formal communication about the French-occupied zone had ended, and Alan Wilson, who knew that the French enjoyed a refined life, left the other party to rest in the representative office, and by the way prepared a drink.

"The French are not easy to deal with, it is too difficult to deal with them, even if we have good intentions. Although I also understand that at this time it is only right to let the French stand with us. Ivor held the glass in front of his mouth, his eyes on the French representative, and whispered to Alan Wilson.

"There is no way to do this, I just hope that the French will understand the current predicament of our two countries." Alan Wilson nodded with a strained face, then walked over to the side of the French representative with a gentle smile, the necessary socialization was required.

A moment later, Alan Wilson was already in the middle of the French delegates, and although he did not know much about French politics, he still knew a basic thing, that there is a group of civil servants in any country.

It is in this group that the news is most effective, and it is part of Alan Wilson's job, and of course this can be done by small talk, and if there is one topic on which the British and French can most agree at the moment, it is not the division of the German occupation zone, the colonies!

As former world ordermakers, Britain and France both retained nominally large colonies. The two countries had more than 40 million square kilometers of colonies that had not yet become independent, and Britain became one of the Big Three at the Yalta Conference, and then Britain helped France to gain an occupation zone against Germany.

If there were no colonies in hand, the two former colonial empires of Britain and France would be nothing at all. Alan Wilson understands this better than anyone else, if he does not find a way to hold some colonies, Britain will inevitably become an echo in a few decades, and only by finding a way to keep some important places can Britain make its voice heard.

And the countries in the same situation as the UK are not only France, but also the Netherlands, Portugal and even Belgium.

"Pierre!" Pouring a glass for Pierre Le Mans, Alan Wilson asked, "Our two countries are in a common situation now, and before I left British India, I heard that something happened in Vietnam, what do you think of that colony?" ”

During the World War, the government of Pétain in France surrendered to Germany. In the same year, Japan established a policy of military expansion into the south, and the Vichy government of France agreed to the stationing of Japanese troops in North Vietnam. Japan and France jointly administer Vietnam until this year.

But in March, the Japanese army staged a coup d'état, disarmed the French army, imprisoned Admiral Jean Degu, the governor of the French Indochina Federation, and other French officers, took over the French colonial institutions, and installed Paula to power.

Subsequently, Baoda issued a statement announcing the restoration of independence from Annam, the abrogation of the previously signed Vietnamese-French protection treaty, and the pledge to cooperate with Japan.

Asked this question, Alan Wilson of course asked knowingly, and Pierre Le Mans replied very simply, "France will not accept that any country will plunder France's overseas territories for any reason." ”

Oh! This answer was not surprising, Alan Wilson took the initiative to reach out and touch a glass with the other party, and said, "I personally have great respect for this attitude of France, and I hope that everything will go well." ”

The British government knew that the land was a colony, and the French certainly knew it, but they also believed that the land itself was part of France.

This kind of self-talk has been since ancient times, and Alan Wilson is not unfamiliar with the memory of his previous life. It is nothing more than ignoring the evidence against oneself and looking for favorable evidence.

The mention of the status of Vietnam gives an idea of the current perception of the colonies as a whole within the French government. It is by no means a casual chatter, as long as the French are firm in their current attitude, Alan Wilson believes that there will be opportunities for cooperation between the two sides in the future.

After a moment of relaxation, Pierre Le Mans and the others left the representative office, and it was the afternoon when 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 worse than London in the world, and even more famous, and the French are famous in literature and art, in other words, the soft power is strong, resulting in many countries having a strong filter for Paris, and even Paris syndrome.

Paris syndrome is a psychological illness caused by the huge difference between the real Paris and the imagination that Japanese tourists find in Paris.

To a certain extent, when translated into Chinese, it can be explained that the country is more patriotic, and it may be that the Japanese themselves are more mournful, so there is a great disappointment.

Now that World War II has just ended, Paris is not full of people of all colors in the Third World, it is completely like old France.

"Why is there a group of people in front of you?" Seeing that the speed of the car slowed down, Alan Wilson asked suspiciously. To be honest, Paris is well planned and there should not be a containment.

"Nothing?" Pierre Le Mans, who was sitting in the front, glanced at it and replied with some surprise.

Alan Wilson has already gotten out of the car and looked into the distance, and no one else who was fast reacted, and when he saw eye-catching, men would always burst out of their potential, such as seeing a woman without clothes...... Not yet a ......

More than a dozen women were stripped of their clothes and paraded through the streets amid the shouts of the onlookers. This is part of the post-war liquidation!

"Oh roar!" Alan Wilson let out a strange tone and looked back at Pierre Le Mans playfully.
