Chapter 61: This Is Blackmail

Alexandre Millerand, the president of France, angrily slapped the ornate desk at the Élysée Palace. He could not understand why the European powers would tolerate the "eagle of Satan" meddling in European affairs. He also did not understand why the United States was always watching the fire from the other side, and even became a raccoon dog with the Chinese Federation.

The U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam had largely ceased to maintain law and order by this time. Infiltrated by the Vietnam National Liberation Front, that damned Vietnamese governor is already thinking about handing over power to the Vietnamese.

In addition, in Ukraine, the Chinese Federation and the United States serve as the main forces for peacekeeping. The commercial development and sale of industrial products in their jurisdictions have always been dominated by products from both countries. This is not to say that there are any restrictions on the sale of goods in France and the United Kingdom. However, after the war, Ukrainians are more willing to use a small amount of money to buy cheaper industrial products from China and the United States in the same quality. 9。

The reason for the cheapness of industrial goods in the two countries is that the United States has a complete and efficient industrial enterprise. The Chinese Federation has a leading technology, complete and advanced energy and transportation system. The view of scholars in industry and business circles is that if the Chinese Federation completes the construction of its industrial base, there will never be a country in the whole world that can compete effectively with the price of their products.

Strangely enough, the French are worried, and the British and Americans don't seem to be very worried.

"We should not learn from the policy of His Excellency the President and run to become the enemy of the 'Chinese Federation'. In the history of the two countries, we know that they are some easy people to deal with! ”

This is President Alexander Millerand's assessment of the Chinese Federation. 2。 But now it turns out that his view is a completely unfathomable mistake, because the Chinese Federation is interfering with the peace of Europe in a naked manner.

"We are currently suffering from economic sanctions imposed by countries led by the United Kingdom and the United States. At the same time, we find that the Italian side has frequent troop movements, and Thunder International seems to be preparing for a war! Believe me, Mr. President, these are some bad developments. After a systematic analysis of this intelligence, we at the Second Military Intelligence Agency have reason to believe that this is a military operation that may affect our relations with Germany, and it is highly likely that it will be of a joint nature! ”

Major General Picard, who was standing opposite Alexander Millerand, had no more expression on his face. 4。 There seemed to be some kind of worry and pity in the expression of his expression.

"In front of me is a president tormented by the devil, and it can be seen that the devil's wickedness makes everyone submit to his methods."

Picard, who has now been nominated for the rank of lieutenant general, has been promoted a little faster than the former head of Army Intelligence, Major General Caranther. After all, the latter has lost Xia Fei, although General Petain will still pay attention to him.

This is politics, when the value of military personnel is evaluated by politicians, the ranks they are in often become the bargaining chips that determine their future.

"Are the sources reliable?"

Looking at President Alexander Millerand's questioning gaze, Picard quickly shook off his thoughts. 6。

"Completely reliable, these are the results of the analysis of the reports sent back by our spies on the part of the Chinese Federation, Germany, Italy. All the results proved that the 'Thunder International' and the Italian army had achieved some kind of tacit understanding. At the same time, we also got the news that the Eagle of Satan appeared in Sicily. I believe that the military attack on us may be due to the presence of the Chinese Federation. ”

Alexander Millerand groaned as he held his severe, toasting head.

"God, the cooperation of the problem bandits with the problem children of Europe will be a disaster for a Europe that is recovering from the wounds of war!"

The nervous thinking of the brain painted such a terrible picture for the French president. 5。

In Europe, Germany and Italy have cooperated because of a certain medium. As two countries at the two ends of Europe, if they can be reconciled. Then the northern and southern European countries in the middle will be under tremendous pressure because of such a union. This is enough to make these countries fear for their own safety, and then France may lose what is necessary, and ultimately the ability to bomb in Europe.

The problem at hand is that if the interests of these two rising powers are not satisfied, then it could be the cause of unrest in Europe, or even another world war. In particular, if the Chinese Federation is involved in this matter, then the change of situation is definitely not a good thing. 5。

Seeing that the clouds of turmoil have been quietly consolidating, watching all efforts come to naught, and all sacrifices have become a senseless farce. Didn't Alexander Millerand know heartache?

However, if there was a war with Germany. Then the sanctions imposed by Britain and the United States will be intensified, and a high-intensity war with Thunder International may cause the "Chinese Federation" to intervene. These are all reasons that make it difficult to make a decision easily.

In this case, he intends to listen to the advice of some military personnel. In the past, especially in the first few years after the war, these generals had been left out in the cold for far too long. Perhaps it is for these reasons that President Raymond Poincaré has made a policy mistake.

These mistakes led the Chinese Federation and France from the initial friendly state to suspicion and even hostility to each other. 9。 These mistakes brought France almost endless humiliation and loss. At least when he was sworn in as president, Alexander Millerand told himself in his heart.

"We are not enemies of the Chinese Federation! We should review the past and try to repair the rift between us so that we can reach a friendly relationship. If possible, profitable strategic partnerships will be more conducive to the development of France! ”

What is not said in this passage is that today's "Chinese Federation" is a crazy bandit. In the face of such guys, the means of not suffering losses is to declare "we are all robbers, and we are in a gang!" ”

Marshal Foch, the former commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, is currently the chief military adviser to the President of France, a member of the French Academy of Sciences and the chairman of the Supreme Military Council. 5。 At the same time, he was also the only general in the world who held the title of marshal of France, Poland, and Britain. Before going to the Élysée Palace on the orders of the president, he had some discussions with the two of them with the deputy chairman of the Supreme Military Council of Pétain.

"We cannot allow the current situation to continue, and we cannot allow France to start a war with the Chinese Federation, but the most important thing is whether we can solve the problem at hand with dignity! I believe that without solving this problem, the 'Old One's Eagle' will definitely not rest on its laurels. ”

"I agree with you! Also, Mr. Marshal, I would like to add that an eagle-like soldier is an adversary whom we should not provoke now. 9。 I think that although we have had some problems with them before, now we have a chance to reconcile. But this question needs to be ......"

"Let's see it together, please read it genuinely, the author created "Don't laugh at group A: 35761481; Email: qljrjaaa163.

"My God, I can't believe that the two marshals actually gave me such advice. Could it be that the defeat of the expeditionary force also made the two marshals have a pessimistic attitude? 3。 My God, it seems that we are not the only ones that are going to have a bad time before us! ”

Alexander Millerand complained that the government's deficit had been incurred by the garrison in the Ruhr industrial area. The cost of garrisoning 1 billion francs was another reason why the President had decided to withdraw his troops.

However, what he did not expect the most was that the proposal given to him by the two marshals was actually to buy the "Chinese Federation". This could not help but hurt his pride in a certain way, and in any case, France could still hold on to the title of world power at this time. Of course, their prestige in the League of Nations was much lower because of their confrontation with the "Chinese Federation". But now to buy this country that was once colonized by France, Alexander Millerand really can't bow his head.

"Yes, I can't deny that China used to be a terrible country. Even today, its position in the world cannot replace that of any great power. However, we can see the momentum of its development, and its military strength has become the direction of the world's military development because of its leading position in science and technology. If we continue to hold on to the preconception of the humiliating bow we once had, then I fear that we will bring disaster to France! ”

Compared to Petain, Fuxi was a little more blunt. After all, he has a considerable reputation internationally, although some of his views may not necessarily be accepted by the government. But he is also sure that he will not fall victim to politicians.

"Your Excellency, I think you understand that the cost of this line of defense alone has reached 5 billion francs. Moreover, I don't see the reason for our urgent need. In addition, it is believed that the parliament will not agree to this move. Given the relations of the 'Chinese Federation' with the Germans, should we pin our last hope on them? ”

Petain looked at Fuxi, but he didn't speak. I just pulled out some copies of the movie from my bag of work.

"Mr. President, how do we decide, I think we can talk about it after we see this film. My only point is that we should try to avoid any military conflict with the 'Chinese Federation'. It's not cowardice, and I think this film will tell you the most direct reason. ”
