The French people's idea is very simple. The annual output value of this diamond mine is as high as more than 5 million pounds. Due to insufficient labor, this output value may be lost by 30%! That is, at least 1.5 million pounds. This loss is absolutely not allowed by the Bavarian royal family. It is a loss of one main ship order a year! Not to mention Bavaria, even if it is a Frenchman, it will be heartbroken.

Although the French and the Germans are enemies, considering that this time is an economic matter after all, if Bavaria is willing to give up and give up some Russian orders, then the two sides cannot negotiate. Moreover, in the French, the expansion of the German navy is imminent. Even if Bavaria gives up the Russian order, it can still obtain orders from the German navy. It is just a matter of changing hands. What can't be discussed?

Of course, some people say that Bavaria can introduce labor from other places. Please, the French account for more than one-third of the land in Africa with 30 million square kilometers of land, while the British accounted for 8.8 million square kilometers, and Belgium has a good relationship with Britain and France. These three countries account for more than two-thirds at once, and there are not many places left for the prince to choose, and the cost issue must be considered when introducing labor from other places. The French have worked hard on diplomacy, and they have a full opportunity to prevent Bavaria from obtaining enough labor.

So, when the French were planning this operation, they felt that they were full of good cards! There was no reason to lose! Now Speaker Charles was thinking, is Bavaria surrendering, or surrendering? Or in other words, when will the other party admit defeat?

At present, the situation is not small, but great! The German government did not make any too tough statement, and the German army stationed in Namibia did not make any moves. The only thing that made the French feel a little unhappy was that two Munich-class armored cruisers went to Africa! This is also the fundamental reason why the Portuguese envoy came to France, and the Portuguese were also very scared!

"Do you really believe that the German government will threaten a European country for the sake of the Bavarian Kingdom? It's just a matter of more than 100,000 marks. From an economic perspective, the cost of sailing for two armored cruisers alone exceeds the agency fee for the escape of Bavaria." Charles smiled and comforted the Portuguese who was a little nervous in front of him.

"But the fact is that the Germans have sent fleets! Their target is Africa, and it is reported that they will cruise off the coast of Angola! The reality is ten thousand times worse than you think! So respectful Speaker, we have imposed sanctions on Bavaria according to your request. I would like to ask, if this sanction leads to unforeseen consequences, will your country protect its allies?" Frank asked anxiously.

"Alliances? At most, we are just partners. You are working with us to curb Germany's infiltration into Angola!" Charles sneered at Frank's statement, but now, he still hopes to stabilize the Portuguese envoy. After all, Bavaria has not yet surrendered.

"Don't forget that the French Republic can currently have 2 battleships and 3 cruisers in Africa, and the total tonnage of our fleet is three times that of the Germans! The pattern of the African region was defined by all countries in 1885. No matter who wants to break it, it will be opposed by other major powers. The Germans will never be enemies of Europe for a little benefit."

"Think about it, even in the most difficult 1891, when the British fleet's muzzle was aimed at your capital, didn't they just let your country withdraw some of its armed personnel without completely usurping your colonies? Since even the British dared, the Germans definitely did not have the courage." Charles said confidently.

Yes, it was full of confidence. At this time, Charles confirmed that the two warships should have come out to carry out some routine patrol mission. This can be seen from the information obtained by the French that the two warships had made sufficient preparations before sailing, and the Arrow incident only lasted a week since the Arrow incident. Therefore, this fleet was definitely not aimed at the Portuguese. Of course, in order to take care of the feelings of the little brothers, Prussia may have deterred these two warships. However, the possibility of taking direct military action is very small.

Moreover, if two warships heading to the United States were included, the size of the German local fleet has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to mobilize a large-scale fleet to launch an expedition to Africa in a short period of time. As for what if the German fleet takes some "extreme" actions against Portugal? The French believe that their fleet in Africa can completely calm the Germans.

It is not that the French are willing to go to war with the Germans for the Portuguese, nor because the French are confident that their fleet can match the German fleet, but because the French are very clear that any event can gradually fade away.

This is like two young and energetic young people. When the conflict suddenly breaks out, the two sides are the easiest to fight, but as time goes by, the possibility of both sides taking action will decrease. Therefore, in the eyes of the French, as long as they pass the initial "dangerous period", nothing big will happen! The French are still full of confidence in going through this "dangerous period". It is very simple to be willing. At this moment, the French fleet is the strongest in western Africa!

Of course, the French will not easily fight with the Germans. If Germany only aims the gun at the city or blows up two guns, the French will stand by, because this will not be of any use other than making other countries feel arrogant. Isn’t it just to kill a few houses?

After the powerful French fleet rushed to the waters of the accident and called on other countries to ensure the territorial integrity of Portugal in diplomacy, no matter how arrogant the Germans were, they would never continue to launch attacks when their strength was obviously weak, right? Moreover, the commander of this German squadron was just an officer, and they could not take too fierce actions without obtaining government authorization!

When the international situation reverses, if the German government wants to take action, it must also weigh the reflections of various countries. The French are worthy of being an old imperialist country. Although they are not as good as the British, their plans are obviously very careful.

"Of course, now I think the Portuguese government should first issue a statement, characterizing this matter as an economic conflict, and expressing its willingness to negotiate with Germany to weaken the confrontation between the two sides. Only in this way can we be more convenient for us to intervene in this matter." Charles reminded at the end.
