At this time, although Europe was known as the center of the world, and everyone regarded themselves as members of the civilized world, in fact, except for a few countries, most of the countries were still constitutional monarchies, and the king was still the supreme national leader.

For well-known reasons, the relationship between the royal families of European countries is very deep, what cousins, cousins and the like are flying all over the sky, after all, it is still different to have a kinship, if you want to find allies, it is not easy to consider the national interests, but if you want to find a few helpers, it is really not difficult.

Relatively speaking, the French, who sent the emperor to the guillotine a hundred years ago, are indeed a bit big.

After calculating the relationship between his own family and the countries of the world, Leothai suddenly felt that the situation was not so optimistic, strictly speaking, Lan Fang and France did have the help of the Republic of China and the coalition government, but it was obvious that from the relationship between each other, the relationship between Lan Fang and the Republic of China and the coalition government was better, and it was really a critical time, the Republic of China and the coalition government would be completely inclined to Lan Fang, and would not necessarily safeguard many French interests.

This made Leotey really a bit of a trance.

"Actually, it's easy to find more help, such as Germany—" Huang Bohan said of a country that Leothay would never want to mention.

"The Germans can't!" Leotey vetoed it, but did not give a reason why Germany could not do it.

During the world war, Germany had no shortage of allies in Europe, and it had become a thing of the past "sick man of Europe" Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria, etc. were all allies of the Germans, and relatively speaking, France's allies in Europe were only Britain and Italy, and Britain needless to say, was now a competitor, as for Italy, they and France had extensive conflicts of interest in the Mediterranean, and on the premise that there was no German threat, the Italians were happy to make some trouble for the French.

If you want to find help, the German is indeed a good object, but from Leothai's point of view, he absolutely does not want to admit it.

"Are you still clinging to your narrow worldview? Remind you once again that there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies between countries, and if you are stubborn, then sooner or later the Germans will be pushed to the side of the British, and then you will wait, if the Germans rise again, the British will still give up France when the critical time comes. "Huang Bohan didn't save face, and he ruthlessly covered the fig leaf of Leothay in private.

Regarding this "Britain abandoning France", this really happened in the world war, and part of the post-war rift between Britain and France was the aftermath of that split, and Leotai was the Minister of War at the time, and he must have been clear about this past, and Huang Bohan brought up the old story again, just to get Liotta to give up his hostility to the Germans.

"It's not narrow-minded, there are things that have to be insisted on." Leothai was still resolute, it was a matter of principle, and Leothai did not want to compromise.

"Well, well, you have your bottom line, which I can understand, so why don't the British have a bottom line? They can fight Germany hand in hand, why can't you? Huang Bohan didn't want to provoke Leothai too much.

"Sooner or later, the British will pay the price." Leothai's voice was not loud, obviously not much confidence, and it was more appropriate to say that it was a judgment than a curse.

"Yes, but it must be after you." Huang Bohan, the old god, is walking and seeing.

"Can we change the subject?" Leothai felt a little irritated.

"It's a topic that can't be avoided, and it's true that we all feel that it's heavy, so we have to take it seriously and not run away from reality." Huang Bohan's expression was solemn.

How to say it, businessmen are sometimes smarter than politicians and soldiers, and this is related to the peculiarities of their professions. Unless it is some professional manager, the capital of the businessman to operate some things is his own blood and sweat, so the businessman is more pragmatic. Politicians are different from military personnel, military people consider problems from a special angle, not all areas are suitable for real swords, and more often negotiations are needed. Politicians are time-sensitive creatures, and the tenure of politicians determines that they cannot consider too comprehensively when making decisions, perhaps not because of the short-sightedness of politicians, but because when certain problems erupt, there will naturally be a successor who will take responsibility, and it has little to do with the officials who made the decisions at that time.

"This is a national hatred and family hatred, it cannot be resolved overnight, let me put it this way, if someone dares to express his stance that he wants to be more tolerant of Germany, then tomorrow that person will be bombarded by the voters, this is not alarmist." Leotey is telling the truth, that in democracy, everything you do must be done with the acceptance of the people, whether it is correct or not.

"Not necessarily, the Mainichi Shimbun does not shy away from the current situation, and has always called for a little tolerance towards Germany, which does not affect the sales of the Mainichi Shimbun." Huang Bohan is no stranger to France, and the French version of the "Daily News" is also sold in Lanfang, and Huang Bohan has a habit of reading newspapers and periodicals.

"The sales channels are different, the Daily News is aimed at the middle and upper classes, who think more wisely, while more people at the bottom of the society do not think about so many issues, they only focus on whether the Germans have been beaten to death with a stick, and they don't care about the rest." Leothai still knows a lot about the French social class, especially the people at the bottom of the society.

Leothai is a soldier, and the military is generally composed of people at the bottom of society, they don't have too much savings, they don't have too much wealth, they don't have too much prestige, but ordinary people are the cornerstone of the country, when the country needs it, it is these ordinary people who say goodbye to their families, farewell to their hometowns, and fight bloodily for the country, Leothai has seen too many such examples.

"You mean that people at the bottom will have influence over the members of Congress? You're not kidding. "Huang Bohan is dismissive of Western democratic hypocrisy.

Huang Bohan is right, don't look at France, democracy and freedom are on the lips, but if you talk about the rights that ordinary people have, it will really make people laugh out of their teeth. Not to mention the deep influence, it is the presidential elections that are held every few years in France, and it is a bit strange that ordinary French people will not even cross paths with those presidential candidates for the rest of their lives, so that they can trust a stranger and then put the fate of the country in the hands of a stranger.

So French-style democracy is where I come up with a few candidates, and then I ask everybody to choose one that looks good, and that's it. The key is how these candidates are selected, and ordinary people do not have the right to decide this.

"Hey, hey, you're a Lanfang person, don't judge France's affairs casually, it's very rude, you should learn from me, you see that I won't point fingers at you." Leothai immediately objected to Huang Bohan's "interference".

"This is not finger-pointing, but well-intentioned advice, from the position of allies, we do not want France's interests to be damaged, that will also endanger Lanfang's interests." Huang Bohan said it openly and fairly, without the slightest embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, I'll admit you have a point, I'll report back to the top, but that's beyond my decision, you know, that's all I can do." Leothai raised his hands in surrender and decided to stay out of the matter.

This is a huge step forward from the previous resoluteness.
