7Who is the Shire
Han Huaiyi's "friendship" with France has entered the countdown.
But he didn't have to break face with France inexplicably, so the matter had to be led by the United States, and the benefits and pressure that led to the fact that New Rome had to "give in".
In this case, the collapse of France in World War II has nothing to do with his loss of support.
Mellot was instructed to negotiate with the United States.
In the end, two things were obtained.
It is a large order for helicopters. Second, the exclusive right to sell the formwork house in the western region of the United States.
These two businesses are actually convenient for the United States.
Helicopters, for example, will be deployed to the Army, the National Guard, and the police.
This is very helpful for the United States to maintain its rule.
As for the convenient building of the formwork house, it is also convenient for the western development policy of the United States.
After all, it will reduce the cost of settling in people.
You must know that the open land between San Francisco and Texas is still sparsely populated, and the United States presents a hollow butterfly-shaped development structure.
There is a gap between their big cities and the coastline, except for the railway.
As soon as these two things were discussed, Han Huaiyi immediately asked Melo to call France.
The implication is that in view of the current international situation and the strategic partnership between the United States and Wakanda, Wakanda will not be able to continue to supply to France until the Ruhr matter is resolved.
This is a "force majeure factor" in the contract between the parties.
It's like the routine of the black landlord.
Han Huaiyi is familiar with the road.
However, Han Huaiyi also said very "kindly" that the warships, planes and other equipment that have been produced and are being produced are not included in this resolution, and he also returned the excess money to the French.
Merlot, who had traveled to France in person, and Petain, who had already stepped onto the stage, said: "Charlie has done it to the extreme. Otherwise, those warships and planes will be seized. β
Petain, of course, had nothing to say.
Merlot then asked him how France had come up with such radical ideas.
Petain reluctantly said that this is because some people above want to complete the great thing before the end of their careers, so they indulge this situation, and the result is that it is difficult to ride the tiger now.
Since Melo came to sell it, he simply said to him: "Charlie analyzes that Britain and the United States will use this opportunity to take the power to control the fate of Germany from France, and he hopes that you will pay more attention." In fact, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to give up some interests. β
Petain smiled bitterly: "Who doesn't know, but you also know the contradiction between France and Germany." Whoever makes such a suggestion will only be seized by political opponents and branded as a traitor. β
If Han Huaiyi was here, he must have felt quite ironic.
At this moment, Petain is so worried about the country and the people and cares about his reputation.
But in the future, in another situation, he will become a different picture, so it is impossible to conclude that people do not cover the coffin.
Even if the coffin is closed, it may not be conclusive.
At this time, Merlot noticed that Petain had a stack of manuscripts in his hand, and Petain handed it to him, saying that it was a book written by one of his subordinates on political and military relations, mainly describing Germany.
Mellot looked at it and said with a smile; "Something."
"That's right, he was captured by the Germans during the European War, escaped five times and was captured five times. And then in previous years helped Poland and the Soviets to fight the war, and they fought very well. This is a very thoughtful guy. β
"What's your name?"
"Charles, Charles. De gaulle. It's a person worth cultivating, I said Merlot, we're old friends too, the PTR in New Rome is a unique force in the world, and the military academy there is above West Point, can you let this guy who has been married see it? β
"I've got to talk to Charlie, you know, he has the power to break the rules."
"Okay, just take it to heart."
"Well, I will." Merlot is also the kind of person who makes promises.
So when Merlot was gone, Petain called de Gaulle and said, "I have given Monsieur Merlot your manuscript, and he will show it to His Excellency Charles." β
"The Charlie?" De Gaulle was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, the father of the Air Force, the father of aircraft carriers, the father of armored forces, and the great man of advanced architecture. I hope that Merlot, or your manuscript, will impress him so that you will be trained by him. β
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
"Do your best, Colonel."
De Gaulle, who was only 35 years old this year, stepped back respectfully.
When he returned home, he and his wife excitedly told the news.
His wife, Iffina, was also thrilled that Wakanda, the whole of Europe, was a fertile ground for them, and she hugged her daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband and said, "If you can go there to study, then our children Philip and his sister will have the best education." β
"That's right, so I'll try, no, I've worked hard, now it's up to Charlie's will."
In the mouths of these veterans in Europe, "Charlie's will" is a very vivid word, which has many meanings and can be used in any occasion.
For example, de Gaulle often used this term in the Supreme War Council of the General Staff under Petain to describe the will of the commander, which is undoubtedly the ability to achieve the desired strategic purpose.
Now he is using it for his own life prospects.
Melo returned to Wakanda a month later, and then he told Han Huaiyi about it.
Hearing this name, Han Huaiyi was surprised: "Who?" β
"Charles. De gaulle. Petain wants you to take care of one or two, I don't decide for you, but I read his articles on the way back and found them a little naΓ―ve, but on the whole they were very good, and he knew Germany very well. If nothing else, he was supposed to be PΓ©tain's heir. If we have a relationship with him, it will be good for our future. β
Melo dutifully offered his fair opinion.
Han Huaiyi was not stupid enough to steal the limelight from his old friend, so he pushed the boat along the way: "Okay, you have the final say, my Merlot." β
"It's disgusting." Merlot was disgusted, but she was actually very happy.
What he didn't know was that Charlie's attitude just now was actually coaxing the child, if he knew, he would have to fight with him.
So Melo sent a telegram inviting de Gaulle to train at the vocational military academy in Wakanda.
The school is an upgraded version of the military academy that originated in the free trade zone.
All the instructors are from the actual combat unit, and there are also talents from West Point.
The full name of this military school is the Wakanda Free Trade Silver Dollar Federal Defense Military Academy.
But in the rivers and lakes, people call it "base camp".
The graduates of the base camp are all military ladies, and they are not inferior to American West Point.
Because Wakanda's record is placed here, they fought all the way from South America to Europe, creating three-dimensional tactics, aircraft carrier tactics, lightning tactics, invincible and invincible.
Can a military school supported by such an army be weak?
No way!
