"Is your country a good relationship with the British?" Ruprecht said. "From the Bourbon dynasty, your country was in a competitive relationship with Britain, which extended to the time of Napoleon the Great. When the whole of Europe was trembling under the saber of France, the British still stubbornly resisted France's footsteps. Finally, in the Battle of Leipzig and later in the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon and his empire were destroyed, and then, your country tried to establish a good relationship with Britain and paid a huge price in the Crimean War. But what did they do when we first defeated your country, what did Britain, as the biggest beneficiary of the Crimean War?"

"If you want to talk about the harm to France, Britain says second, then no country says first. This is a very clear fact. I can't understand why you are confused? The British fought a great war with us on your territory. No matter what the result was, France was deeply hurt, and one-third of its territory became a battlefield. Without this war, your country would still be a powerful colonial country. Although our two countries are hostile, in the decades after the end of the Franco-Prussian War, Germany did not use force to occupy your land, even if it was a colony, is this a fact?"

"You have always believed that what supports you to fight is hatred, which is inaccurate, because you have a greater hatred with the British. In fact, what really involved France in this war was the British conspiracy. As an island country, Britain was unable to contain a continental power, so he had to tie other countries to his own chariots through deception and blackmail, and then fight a war far from his own land."

"Now that the dust has been settled, why should your country still consider Britain at this time? As for the so-called face? I admit that integrity and covenants are important to major powers, but believe me, Your Excellency, all the major countries in the world, except Britain, understand your country's choices and are willing to see this result. Germany is willing, the United States is willing, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is willing, and the Russians have no time to consider this matter. The Italians also expressed their understanding. So what else are your country worried about?" Ruprecht asked back!

"Most countries in this world hate Britain. What your country does can be said to be in line with the wishes of most powerful countries. Many things do not depend on the good or bad, but more on the recognition of people around them. Therefore, I think that except for the British, most countries will not be disgusted with France's adaptable behavior. Even France can receive additional aid. For example, Americans really want to see the British be stabbed hard and are willing to pay some benefits." Ruprecht said.

"Haha, I admire you for your tactful words." Crimontso said with a wry smile. "I would like to remind the Crown Prince that even if France is defeated again, we are still a big country and a strong country. We will not be vassals of anyone, we can only cooperate."

"If we simply talk about helping our allies, I think Germany is much better than Britain. We can cross thousands of kilometers to help Turkey fight against aggression. Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are completely equal. We help them resist the Russian offensive on the Eastern Front and eventually destroy their opponents. Even before this war, we helped Turkey resist Italy's invasion of Turkey's African colonies. What we do is well known to the world."

"We also support France as a powerful country, so we will not change the territory of both sides in Europe this time, nor will we ask for war compensation. (But interest-free loans are given. Reparations are replaced with a milder 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 is unchanged. But France must make a practical guarantee that it will no longer be hostile to us and completely cut off our enemies! The hostile relationship between Germany and Britain will continue, and it will only end when one side completely surrenders. This is by no means an end, but a beginning. Do you understand what I mean?" Ruprecht proposed the German price code.

"However, it is just your simple verbal guarantee. Even if we sign a secret contract, your country still has the possibility of remorse, because the biggest feature of a secret contract is that both parties to the contract can remorse without considering the moral risks they bear. In the current situation, France is not able to remorse, but your country has it. If we agree to your country's request and do as per the case, how can your country guarantee France's interests? I mean a practical guarantee." Crimontso was already a little interested.

In fact, although moral hazard made the French hesitate, this is not the fundamental reason. France is like this, and its face is not important anymore. No matter how Germany deals with France in the end, it is like Ruprecht said to "let go of France". But France's reputation has come to the end, because no matter how concealed it, France is a loser in this war! So now France values ​​interests more, and how to ensure the interests of France as much as possible is the fundamental.

What's more, during the previous negotiations, Crown Prince Ruprecht also reminded the French that when the French and the Germans reached an agreement and ceased to fire, even if the French really uphold neutrality, the British would still think that France was a traitor! This is not because the French did not attack Britain and had any difference. Since the French were neutral, they could not get the understanding of the British, and they were not neutral, and they could not get the understanding of the British, so why did France punish Britain and Germany at the same time? If you want to sell, sell it simply, or don't sell it. This is a very simple truth, and the French naturally knew it.

So to now, Crimontseau has only given this question again for 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. The second purpose is to see if they can bargain, whether some things can be done or not. After all, who knows whether the British Expeditionary Force will vent their anger against the French when they are desperate... As for the third question, it is to take care of France's face.

From the current point of view, the Germans are still willing to fulfill their previous promises while having the advantage, which makes the French feel grateful. And to be honest, Climontseau actually believed that Crown Prince Ruprecht was at least willing to rebuild relations with France. The reason is very simple. Now France is already a fish on the chopping board. The Germans have the advantage, so there is no need to lie to you. Just take what you want by yourself!
