Chapter 661 - Selling a Matchmate's Gallic Big Rooster
PS: To clarify, the "two ceremonies" that appeared in the last chapter are the names of the girls added to themselves by a reader who signed up for the trick "Major General Xu Chen". I don't know about the "Two Rituals" in the anime, and I haven't seen this film. So you can think of it as a coincidence.
In addition, chapters 648 and 649 that were missed at the starting point have now finally been restored, and readers of the starting point can read ╮(╯▽╰)╭......
..................................................................
January 1, Republic 2783 (1942).
Another big news broke out in the world that the French Third Republic had made peace with the Great German Empire and the Soviet Socialist Union! At the same time, Italy and other Central Powers and the younger brothers of the Third International signed the contract. France also announced that it would withdraw from the Entente and remain neutral in this war. and demanded that the warring parties leave the territories of France.
Yes, the great rooster of Gaul made peace with Erdezi and the red-haired bear, broke away from the allies of the Entente such as Britain and the United States, and made peace with the enemy alone!
Because it's important, say it three times.
As soon as the news broke, the world was in an uproar. Britain and the United States immediately condemned France for this betrayal of the allies. But the French are determined not to play this time, whether it is the upper class bosses or the middle and lower class civilians, they don't want to play. Regardless of whether Britain and the United States persuaded or threatened and lured, they did not do it.
British Foreign Secretary Eden and U.S. Secretary of State Hull flew in to persuade French Prime Minister Maegre to change his mind. But Maigret told them: "France has lost five million people in these two world wars, and we can no longer fight." We've lost too much to lose the last thing anymore......"
Megret was honest and honest. It is precisely because of honesty and truth that it is impossible to refute. Britain and the United States, of course, are clear about the situation in France, and this is not a secret.
But understanding is not the same as understanding. This argument of France is obviously not convincing to Britain and the United States.
"The British Empire paid no less than France in these two world wars, and we also lost more than six million lives, and if we add the Dominions and colonies, we lost more than fourteen million. We believe that France, as a great power, should shoulder its obligations and not make peace with the enemy alone, which will greatly damage your country's international credibility......" Aiden said with a gloomy face.
International reputation, your sister!
Hearing this, Megre was so angry that she almost broke out. Is it okay for Lao Tzu to lie down and get shot this time? Nima, if you hadn't teased the mustache first, we in France would have been able to suffer this flying disaster, and now you still want Lao Tzu to block the knife for you?
Maigret also turned his face and said unceremoniously: "England is England, France is France, and our situation is different. Moreover, this is a contradiction between you and Germany, and has nothing to do with us France, and your oil field dispute is not at all within the framework of the obligations of the Entente. And France did not care, still paid huge sacrifices, and now it is enough. The French people no longer want to sacrifice for an oil field that is not their own, and this world war is none of our business in France. We have done our duty, and no one has the right to ask us to do anything anymore......"
Megret is also shameless, and the terms of the Entente do not specify that member states are obliged to protect the oil fields of the allies, nor do they specify to what extent they will do for the allies, so how to explain it depends on whose fists are thick and loud. Well, this covenant couldn't have been too strict, and Britain and France wanted to leave a way out for themselves at that time, so even though they knew that the terms in it were not strict, they knew each other.
If it was Britain before World War I, it could still exert pressure with the world's first national strength, so that the French had to consider the opinion of Britain, after all, if they wanted to take revenge on Germany, they could not lack British support. But that was more than 20 years ago, and the situation is very different now.
First of all, the opium cattle were no longer able to survive, and the First World War and the subsequent years of colonial rebellion had made it impossible for them to maintain their position as supremacy. Among the world's top powers now, the first is the two giants of China and the United States, and then Germany. It's good that Britain can barely make it to the top five, where is there still the ability to pinch France's handle.
Secondly, now France is dead and does not want revenge. Because after paying so much price, they also understand that this revenge cannot be avenged, at least in recent years. Besides, this time, in order to allow France to negotiate peace, Germany also conceded some of its interests, and the conditions put forward were not too harsh. The mustache is also a smart man, and he knows that the biggest enemy now is not France, but the United States and Britain. Why bother with France?
In addition, under the deliberate promotion of well-intentioned people and forces, the majority of the French people thought that they had been pitted by opium cattle this time, and there was no way to find the Germans to vent their anger, so this anger naturally shifted to the British. Under such surging public opinion, even if a small number of people still want to persist in fighting against Germany, they will be powerless to reverse this situation.
Seeing that the two sides were getting more and more stiff as they talked, Hull hurriedly came out to play a round.
"Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Sir. France's difficulties are a reality, and we are powerless to change them, but to understand them. We also respect the choice of France......"
Seeing that the mood on both sides had calmed down, he paused and continued: "But we hope that France's withdrawal will not affect the tendencies of the North African battlefield. We believe that France should temporarily lend to us the United States the administration of its colonies in North Africa, and that we in the United States could sign a treaty with France guaranteeing the complete return of the administration to France after the war......"
Megre's face turned green at once, and before he could finish speaking, he shook his head and said categorically, "This is impossible, Mr. Secretary." North Africa is an important French interest, and the French people will not agree to this lend-lease......"
Can you believe Yankee's words? When Lao Tzu is stupid! France does not have an allusion to "Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou," but that does not mean that they do not understand this kind of Taoism, and if they really lend North Africa to the United States, they will be able to return it in its entirety in the future? Whether you believe it or not, Megre doesn't believe it anyway.
This is not the first time that the cowboys have done this kind of business, they used to "borrow" a lot of territory from the Indians, but now? Where did the Indians go? And the hapless Mexico, Hawaii, Cuba, and so on, to name a little. The entire Kingdom of Hawaii has been "borrowed" into the belly of the United States.
The Yankee can be trusted, and the old sow can climb the tree! Don't bully Lao Tzu for reading less! Megre sneered.
Naturally, the talks broke up unhappily, and then France reiterated its position very strongly, preaching that peace is the will of the French people, and no country can stop it, and the French people will not succumb to the threats of certain countries and change their decisions!
The younger brothers, such as Germany and the Soviet Union, as well as Italy, immediately expressed their support. The mustache also made a public speech, saying that the German people had great respect for France's choice, and that anyone who dared not allow France to make peace was an enemy of the German Reich. The 120 million Germanic people will be the strong support of the French people, who are good neighbors...... Yunyun.
For a while, it seemed that the roles of all parties were reversed, and a strong sense of disobedience spread in the world. There is no way, this is the reality, there are no permanent friends between countries, and there are no permanent enemies. It's just that this time friends and foes switched too quickly, so let's have a little transition plot. made a lot of viewers confused.
China soon expressed its support for France, and President Moonson also made a public speech on CCTV, praising France's contribution to world peace.
“...... Any sensible, peace-loving person will support the French people in the right choice. We hope for peace on both sides of the war. France has taken the first step, and we hope that more countries will make similar choices. The beloved Mr. Wen said compassionately.
The younger brothers of the People's Revolutionary Committee immediately echoed and praised the French people's choice of peace as correct, in line with the development of the historical trend, and in accordance with the great good things of the people. Mr. Fernando Cibares, President of Chile, an old friend of the Chinese people, also proposed to the "Light of Civilization Foundation" that French Prime Minister Magret be nominated for this year's "Light of Civilization Peace #Prize".
............................................................
"Mr. Wen, there has been an armed confrontation between the French North African Corps and the British and American troops, and the German Afrika Korps has rushed over to help......" Huo Jinsi, director of the National Intelligence Bureau, gloated with a grim face.
"It's really said that if you turn your face, you will turn your face......" Wen Deji was also embarrassed.
Although he was well aware that this would certainly be the case in the event of a separate peace between France. He was also mentally prepared for this, but when it really happened, he couldn't help but vomit.
Yesterday's friend is the enemy today, and yesterday's enemy is running to help today. Director, the style of painting is wrong! What's going on with this full sense of disobedience?
In fact, for the big rooster, the opium cow and the second dezi are both enemies, and it doesn't feel too sour to see two enemies bleed each other
Moreover, there has been a substantial ceasefire between France and the German-Soviet camp for more than several months. Now the two sides have not formally signed a peace treaty just because they are still arguing over some terms. On the southern French defensive line, the two sides have tacitly agreed to a ceasefire since mid-September last year. The Franco-German and Franco-Italian soldiers were acting like acting, firing a few shots and firing a few shots at each other every day.
On the North African side, the French made up a bunch of excuses such as insufficient troops, need to rest, etc., and their own troops were all weak and weak, and only instructed the colonial troops to fill the holes.
Before the declaration of peace, France secretly ordered the troops in North Africa to prepare for the defense of the Allied forces, and when the peace was declared, it immediately surrounded several strongholds of the British and American troops and ordered them to withdraw immediately. Several strongholds were disarmed because the British and American forces were defenseless, and several bases had skirmishes with the French.
Anyway, the situation in North Africa is very strange right now. Audiences all over the world are concerned about what this turn of the gods will turn out to be.
And after the world's attention was drawn to North Africa, the people of Paris were cheering the return of the emperor. Well, it's the emperor's descendant, Napoleon VI marched to Paris!
