Chapter 166: Foreigners in Paris

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Europe, which had just experienced the First World War, was currently in a relatively stable stage. For the sake of his Germanic allies, Wilhelm II, who had arrogantly waged war, finally had to bow his proud head.

Germany, the dream of the revival of the Germanic people, was mercilessly crushed by the tank tracks that were wrapped in the cold wind and snow of Northern Europe and went straight to Berlin.

The vast Norman constitutional monarchy, which owns the whole of Northern Europe, the Baltic coast, Poland, Russia and the Crimea, has once again proved to the world that they live up to their title of "European steamroller" and "European gendarme".

Their weak and incompetent British and French allies were unable to win trench battles with the German second-class forces in the plains of Western Europe, and they easily crushed the Triple Alliance of Germany with Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Turkey. And rightfully became the biggest winner of the Moscow system after the world war.

The Ottoman Turks were completely dismembered, losing their rich and important traditional Arab territories and shrinking into Anatolia, and the Norman Empire gained the coveted Bosphorus and Constantinople, known as the Second Rome.

The Second German Reich was dismembered, and small German states such as Bavaria, Saxony, and Württemberg declared independence. The acquisition of the entire East Prussia, as well as the Danzig Corridor and Pomerania, was acquired by the Norman Empire, which heralded the absolute power of the Baltic Circle, which the Empire had sought, and the Second German Empire, which had been reduced to the Kingdom of Prussia, had almost lost all its access to the sea.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was completely dismembered, Hungary and the Yugoslav states, Czechoslovakia, an important industrial region of the empire, became independent, and the last glory of the Habsburgs passed away.

At this point, the whole of Central Europe and the Balkans were fragmented. The small nations had to bow down to the Norman Empire and snort. In southern Europe, Italy and Spain are not a concern. Britain was isolated overseas, and the Norman Empire, as a traditional land power country, had nothing to do with him for the time being.

After much deliberation, the Norman Empire adjusted its diplomatic attitude towards Britain, preaching that the land belonged to the Normans and the sea to Britain. It expresses its will and willingness to share world hegemony with Britain. At the same time, it secretly developed and trained new naval and air force forces, hoping to land in the British Isles at the last moment......

So, only France remains. French Third Republic. The only goal of the Norman Empire on the European continent.

In order to win over France, in order to gain France, in order to finally annex, to occupy France.

In the aftermath of the World War, the Norman Empire infiltrated France in many ways, relying on the victorious powers, the international co-chair, and the European tariffs, the presidency of free trade, the wartime alliance of the Great War, and the traditional allies of France against Germany.

From cultural aggression to military exchanges. From civilian delegations, to official diplomatic actions of the imperial government. Relying on strong hard and soft power, the empire launched an all-round co-optation and penetration of France. These actions left the French government at a loss, and also made France more and more inclined from the political circles to the people to the Norman ......

It was against these conditions and backgrounds that I came to Paris. Nominally, as an instructor of military exchange and military construction, he helped the "Great Allies" train his increasingly aging and rigid army. In fact, it is tasked with two secret missions. Spy as a diplomat for the Empire, gather all meaningful intel, and as a psyker, help France assemble his own secret psionic force.

It's been a week since I left Moscow in the middle of a snowy day. From the east of Germany to the east of France, there was a dead silence.

Whenever I walked through the streets of Germany in the uniform of the Reich, I received a lot of indifferent, fearful, and even hateful stares.

It seems that the peaceful times of the past few years have not completely erased the shadow of mutual hostility in the world war. The Germans were not yet to be defeated. But they really didn't have much of a chance.

In the case of the pan-European customs union and financial cooperation, their financial system, industry and commerce are all too permeable. Becoming an enemy of us in such a situation is no different from committing suicide.

The states of southern Germany had lost their loyalty to the Second Reich and had turned to the arms of the Normans. Pan-Europeanism was prevalent in those states, and some even wished to join the empire as a member state, and some even proposed that the Norman emperor could also be the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

Under these circumstances, a Prussia alone - or a half-crippled Prussia that had lost the old Prussia - could pose no threat to the Reich. Wait for another fifty years, a hundred years. After the old guys who participated in the war are dead, they probably forget that part of that history completely.

This responsible approach to the analysis of the situation in Europe, to the Empire, and indeed to the world disappeared completely after entering France, arriving in Paris. I was greeted here not with the frightened and angry gaze of the bereaved dogs of the defeated nations, but with the overly warm welcome of the young ladies of the "Great Allies."

Here, the army uniforms of the Norman Empire are the best passes. And if you still have a few golden medals on your chest, the effect is even better.

Unconscious, I was walking down the street at first, but I just felt that people's eyes were burning. I kind enjoyed the feeling of being watched—but one girl stopped, made a contemplative gesture, and then pointed at me in surprise and shouted, "I remember him, I read it in the newspaper!" He was Wright, the battle hero of the Norman Empire. Major General Baldwin! ”

After that, it's a mess. The girls in the neighborhood would scream and rush up with excitement as if they were going crazy, and they surrounded me...... Dizzy from the smell of various perfumes, I felt bad after fulfilling the request of several girls to sign autographs, and wanted to call for help from the Parisian police in black uniforms on the street.

However, the officers were clearly ineffective and were no match for the girls of Paris. After rushing into the crowd, he was beaten into a pig's head and thrown out in three or two strokes...... If it weren't for the fact that my lieutenant had a little brute force, ran fast enough, and dodged well enough, I would probably have been killed by now.

"Really...... This kind of enthusiasm is really unbearable. ”

In a dark alley out of nowhere, I straightened my collar and said to my adjutant, Maria of Russian origin. Tachibana said.

"There, sir. Mouth. Maria didn't answer me, and reminded me with a blank face.

"Ah, here?" I rubbed the corner of my mouth with my hand, and then looked at the red of the tiger's mouth, and knew which Parisian girl had gnawed it, so I rubbed it hard twice and then asked:

"How?"

"Use this, sir." Maria said as she handed over a handkerchief.

"Oh, thank you." I took Maria's handkerchief, then the mirror, and wiped it down carefully. I took a closer look and found that there was nothing missing, so I was relieved:

"Really...... Although I know that the relationship between the Empire and France is in a honeymoon period, these women are a little too enthusiastic, right? It's unbearable. ”

"Yes, but I look at the sir, as if I'm enjoying it." There was a hint of vinegar in Maria's words.

"How could it be, there were too many of them. I can't bear it at all. I replied.

"That means if the number of people is smaller, it will be enough?" Maria clung to the loophole in my words.

"Alright, okay, spare me, Maria. Isn't it okay if I'm wrong? So I had no choice but to raise my hands and surrender. Only then did Maria return to her usual serious appearance:

"I think it's better for the chief not to wear this uniform in the future unless he attends a formal occasion. Maybe bring another pair of sunglasses and a different hairstyle......"

"Of course you can not wear a military uniform, just sunglasses and a hairstyle. What can I do about being so handsome? Is it still possible to have plastic surgery? "I agree with Maria's first opinion and deny the second. After saying this, exhausted and physically and mentally, I prepared to go to the place where I had stayed in Paris and take a good rest. But before that, you need to detect enemy fire.

"Maria, go to the alley and take a look, are the women gone?" I commanded it.

"Yes, sir." Maria walked to the alley, looked cautiously, and then stepped back:

"I'm sorry, sir. But it looks like the Parisian girls haven't given up yet. ”

"It's terrible." I sighed and was vaguely proud at the same time:

"It seems that no Parisian girl can resist my charm—"

Just as Maria was about to say something to me, an iron door in the alley slammed open. Maria and I looked at it together. I saw a girl in a green leather coat, glasses, and white hair with unkempt hair staggering over.

"Ah...... Belch...... That ......" In an instant, I felt "dangerous" and "exposed!" Something like that. But when the other party walked up to me and looked me up and down, he didn't scream and pounce on me like a normal Parisian girl. Instead, he rudely pushed me aside:

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way, you." After saying this, the white-haired girl staggered away again.

'Oh?' It seems that no Parisian girl can resist my charm'. Maria smiled and repeated what I had said earlier.

"That...... There are always exceptions...... Aha......" I smiled a little awkwardly, and then looked at the girl's back, although it was just a face, but it was indeed a very cute girl......
