Chapter 2057: Compromise two
(Page 1/1)
"Does your country have a good relationship with the British?" Ruprecht said. "Since the Bourbon dynasty, your country has been in a competitive relationship with Britain. This relationship has been extended to the time of Napoleon the Great. When the entire Europe was shaking under the French saber, it was the British who still stubbornly resisted the footsteps of France. In the end, at the Battle of Leipzig and later at the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon and his empire were annihilated. Then, your country tried to establish a good relationship with Britain and paid a great price in the Crimean War. But what was the result? When we defeated your country for the first time, Britain, as the biggest beneficiary of the Crimean War, what did they do?"
"When it comes to the harm to France, the United Kingdom is second, and no country is the first. This is a very clear fact. I don't understand why you are entangled? The British are in your country with us. There was a great war. No matter what the outcome, France suffered greatly, and one-third of the country was reduced to a battlefield. Without this war, your country would still be a powerful colonial country, and although our two countries are hostile , But in the decades after the end of the Franco-Prussian War, Germany did not use force to invade your land, even if it was a colony, is this a fact?"
"You have always believed that it is hatred that sustains you in the fight. This is inaccurate, because you and the British hate more. In fact, it is the British conspiracy that really got France involved in this war. As an island nation, the British Powerless to contain a mainland power, so he has to use deception and blackmail to tie other countries to his chariot, and then fight a war far away from his homeland."
"Now that the dust has settled, why should your country consider the UK at this time? As for the so-called face? I admit that integrity and covenants are very important to great powers, but believe me, your envoy, all the major powers in the world Countries, except the United Kingdom, they all understand your country’s choice and are willing to see the result. Germany is willing, the United States is willing, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is willing. The Russians have no time to consider this matter. The Italians also understand that it is so expensive. What is the country worried about?" Ruprecht asked rhetorically!
"Most countries in this world hate Britain. What your country has done can be said to be in line with the wishes of most powerful countries. Many things do not depend on their own good or bad, but more on the approval of the people around them. Therefore, I I think that except for the British, most countries will not be disgusted with this kind of adaptable behavior in France. Even France can get additional assistance. For example, the Americans would love to see the British being severely affected. He stabbed him and was willing to pay some benefits.” Ruprecht said.
"Hehe, I admire you for being so tactful about this kind of thing." Cremonceau smiled bitterly. "I want to remind His Royal Highness that even if France is defeated again, we are still a big country and a powerful country. We will not be a vassal of anyone, we can only cooperate."
"If you simply talk about helping allies, I think Germany is much better than Britain. We can span thousands of kilometers to help Turkey against aggression. Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are completely equal. We help them resist on the Eastern Front. The Russian offensive and ultimately destroyed the opponent. Even before this war, we also helped Turkey resist the Italian invasion of the Turkish African colonies. What we did is well known to the world."
"We also support that France still exists as a powerful country, so we will not change the borders of both sides in Europe this time, nor will we ask for war indemnities. (But interest-free loans are to be given. The indemnities are changed to a more moderate situation. ) Even more than 90% of your country’s colonies in Africa can be preserved. We hope that the French tricolor flag will continue to fly in Africa and other places. This point has not changed. But France must make a real guarantee that it will no longer be with us Enemy, completely cut off from our enemies! The hostile relationship between Germany and Britain will continue, and will only end when one party completely surrenders. This is by no means an end, but a beginning. Do you know what I mean?" Lu Precht proposed the German price.
"However, it's just your pure verbal guarantee. Even if we sign the secret agreement, your country may still have the possibility of repentance, because the biggest feature of the secret agreement is that both parties can repent without considering the moral hazard they bear. In the current situation, France is There is no way to go back, but your country does. If we have agreed to your country’s request and complied with, how can your country guarantee the interests of France? I mean a practical guarantee." Clemenceau already has some Moved.
In fact, although the moral hazard makes the French a little hesitant, this is not the root cause. France is like this. The face is actually not important. No matter how Germany ultimately handles France, it is just like Ruprecht said. "Let France go." But the prestige of France is in the end, because no matter how to cover it up, France is a loser in this war! Therefore, France now values the interests more. How to ensure the interests of France as much as possible is the fundamental ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What's more, in the previous negotiations, Crown Prince Ruprecht also reminded the French that when French and French After the Germans reached an agreement and ceased fire, even the French really uphold neutrality. But the British still think that France is a traitor! This does not make any difference because the French did not attack the United Kingdom. Since the French are neutral and cannot be forgiven by the British, if they are not neutral, they will not be forgiven by stabbing the British. Then why does France have to offend both Britain and Germany at the same time. Country? If you want to sell it, just sell it, or not sell it. This is a very simple reason, and the French naturally know it.
So up to now, Clemenceau once again came up with this question but has several purposes. The first purpose is naturally to test the attitude of the Germans and see if the Germans are willing to fulfill their previous promises. And the second purpose is to see if you can bargain, whether you can do or not do some things, after all, who knows if the British Expeditionary Force will vent the French when they are desperate... As for the third question, take care of France's face.
Judging from the current situation, the Germans are still willing to fulfill their previous promises even when they are dominant. This makes the French feel fortunate, and to be honest, Clemenceau actually believes that Crown Prince Ruprecht is willing to at least The reason for rebuilding relations in France is very simple. Now France is already on the chopping board. The Germans have the advantage. There is no need to lie to you. Just take what you want!
