"It's that simple." Xu Jun handed the shotgun in his hand to Dao Gen, who was standing aside.

"I think France can try it too, my dear Excellency the President." As he was out on a safari, the Führer did not wear his ornate marshal's uniform today, but wore a gray tight-fitting hunting suit of the Austrian style, with breeches of the same color underneath, and the pair of riding boots that tightly wrapped the calves on his feet were shiny and shiny.

"France has always had a wait-and-see attitude towards the situation in Southeast Asia. Although we have an important colony there, in the past ten years we have only been able to invest money and have not been able to gain much real benefit from it, so the problem of the Far Eastern colonies has always been criticized by the opposition in parliament. Petain sat in a folding chair with a loose white French summer dress and a well-rounded double-barreled shotgun at his hand.

"That's because China is mired in perennial wars, and the main source of wealth in the Far Eastern colonies is the prosperity of Oriental trade. The Germans were also deeply concerned about this, and the deterioration of the war situation in China had seriously affected the interests of the Imperial merchants, because the unbridled attacks of the Japanese army had destroyed many important sources of goods in China. Xu Jun crouched down and stroked the head of the Doberman dog that had been trying to flatter him on his legs.

"Speaking of which, I would like to ask you, dear Einhardt, my friend. Isn't that what you're trying to do in the first place, just to restore trade in the Far East? Petain stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers a few times, and the attendant hurriedly filled him with a glass of cold juice soda with a thermos.

"I think you should be able to see that I don't just want trade in the Far East, I want a new order." Xu Jun stood up and sat down beside Petain, and the Duberman obediently followed, resting his chin on Xu Jun's thigh.

"A new order that is in the interests of the majority. Some people are doing something out of the ordinary, and they have to be beaten to keep them calm and calm. Perhaps we were previously due to internal contradictions in Europe. There is no time to pay attention to the problems of that area. But now that our internal contradictions have been largely resolved, and the nations of Europe are united again, we can spare time and energy to look back at that rich and mysterious land, and to teach some people to follow the rules of the civilized world again. ”

"You want to be directly involved in the Asian war? Dear Reinhardt, I think you are underestimating the complexity, the French government is constantly monitoring the situation there, and the army intelligence in French Indochina sends back a detailed report every week. With our current forces in the Far East, it is not enough to change the situation on the ground, let alone to influence the minds of any of them. Petain almost squirted a sip of soda, and finally swallowed the cool drink. He hurriedly expressed his opinion.

With the current strength of European countries in the Far East, it is already very good to be able to restrain them from stumbling on each other, and Xu Jun is not a fool if he wants to rely on these waste wood to change the situation in Asia. However, when he could see that this veteran defender of colonialism actually felt powerless, Xu Jun couldn't help but feel secretly amused.

"Of course I know these questions, Philip, do you think I'm such a reckless person? I already have a detailed plan for this, and the question I discussed with you is the first step in the plan. What is needed now is the full cooperation and assistance of the French side to Germany in this matter. You know that I am a generous man who will never treat any of the Empire's allies badly, and I can assure you, Your Excellency. You'll be glad you made the right decision in the end. ”

"Start with the arms trade?"

"Start with the arms trade, and you have to be tough. This week I'll send another squadron to Indochina, and now it's finally convenient that we can go straight to the Suez Canal. Use the air base in Cairo. Xu Jun lowered his head and kneaded Duberman's cheek, and the dog's throat made a pleasant cooing sound.

"Congratulations to you again, Your Excellency. You have won a great victory, and although my status does not allow me to say so, I would like to say that you have done what more than a dozen generations of French people have dreamed of, and you have trampled that scourge of Europe to the ground.

Had it not been for the fact that we had not yet signed a formal alliance agreement, I would have thought that we would have sent French troops to that island now, and we still had a large blood debt to pay back to the British. By the way, what time was George VI's speech? I had to stay in front of the radio at that time. Petain put down his glass and patted his thick thighs hard.

Xu Jun knew that this was the French president expressing his position to him, this old fox would never let go of any opportunity to express goodwill to the German Führer, he knew very well that he had been tied to the interests of Germany, if he lost the support of the young Führer, the Germans could change to the French president at any time, and he believed that there would be many people in his government who were willing to take over this work, and he didn't know how many French politicians drooled and stared at these tempting powers in his old hands.

At this time, power represents the interests of the individual, and has nothing to do with what kind of moral integrity, education and culture, the so-called nonsense of everyone for me and me for everyone is used to fool the third estate.

When Petain tasted the taste of power, he was no longer the great marshal who pursued justice and honor, in just one month, he had completely transformed into a politician, the French marshal began to be keen on the game of power, in various names to seize the power that originally belonged to the government, obviously the president of the French Republic is taking the German head as an example, and is slowly moving towards the direction of the dictator.

He spent a great deal of his day studying the biographies of the French rulers, and like most French people, Petain was a fanatical admirer of the dwarf emperor. So when he saw that the emperor's old enemies had been knocked to the ground by Germany, Petain was even more sure that his previous decision was correct, that France could only be a staunch ally of Germany, and that it could never be an enemy of such a powerful empire.

The defeat of Britain gave him some opportunities to win the favor of the new conqueror, Reinhardt, whether France would be able to take advantage of the British, such as in the Middle East and North Africa, where the British occupied a lot of rich and well-resourced land.

"It should be at six p.m. London time...... It's supposed to be seven o'clock in Paris, and you can go to my residence and listen to the radio together. ”

"That's great. I'll be there on time. The environment of the Ritz Hotel is good, you are still used to it, Reinhardt. Petain continued with a smile. If you may, allow me to invite you to dinner after listening to the radio, and I have several personal friends whom I would like to introduce to you, all of whom are famous French entrepreneurs who own most of the industrial and mining enterprises and manufacturing plants in the south of France. ”

"It's an honor to have your invitation to tell those friends. I'm looking forward to meeting them. ”

Xu Jun happily agreed to Pétain's invitation. He was well aware of the intentions of the French president, who had all set their sights on the huge potential market of post-war Europe, but if they wanted to take market share from the German industrial giants, they had to get permission from the German Führer.

German intelligence agencies have been monitoring the president's every move, Petain has several eyes of Odin on his side, German undercover agents and French employees recruited by the intelligence service, and the French government is now infiltrated by German spies like a piece of cheese, from top to bottom.

The German intelligence agencies were now content not only with gathering intelligence from the French interior, but also directly through those who penetrated inside. Participate in the operation and decision-making of government departments. In the early stages of the war, Germany captured a large number of French prisoners of war, many of whom were French government officials and high-ranking military police who did not have time to escape. Under the coercion and inducement of German intelligence, many of them accepted German recruitment for various purposes.

These men were then secretly sent into the French occupation zone by the Germans, relying on their previous connections and large bribes. Soon regained his position in a chaotic government. Now that the French government has resumed normal operations, the positions of these people have been fixed, and many of them occupy important positions or have been transferred to classified units, so there is any turmoil within the French government. On the same day, it will be printed out as a report and placed on Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten's desk.

"How's the ceremony being prepared, Your Excellency?" Xu Jun took the match from Tysenhofen and lit the cigar in his mouth, and Duberman raised his head and sniffed the air. Then he put his chin back on Xu Jun's thigh.

"It's all set up, just waiting for the agreement to be signed on September 1. The French people are very grateful that you have chosen the venue at the Palais Bourbon. Pétain threw up his head and drank his second soda.

"Originally, there were many calls in Germany to humiliate the French government in the choice of the ceremonial position, but I flatly refused. I think it's so naïve, like a narrow-minded kid would do it.

It was also suggested that I choose Versailles again, and indeed the conditions there are in every way very suitable for such a solemn ceremony. However, the choice of the place will inevitably remind the German and French people of the Treaty of Versailles after the end of the last war, and it will inevitably be interpreted inappropriately by some well-intentioned people in the future, so I have abandoned this meeting place.

The Palais Bourbon is right in the center of Paris, facing the Seine, as the venue of the French National Assembly, it is a symbol of French law, and the agreement signed here is more serious and legal than anywhere else, so I chose to hold the ceremony there, hoping that after the signing of the agreement, Germany and France will return to good-neighborliness, Germany and France will be closely united, and I hope that the tragedy of war between Germany and France will never happen again. Xu Jun stood up after speaking.

"Under the new European order established and maintained by Germany, an era of peace and prosperity is coming."

"Hey! Reinhart! Dougan and Tysenhofen on the side raised their right arms to salute the Führer.
