This is the first time Albert Sarro has served as Prime Minister of France.
Albert Salo is also a veteran in politics and has rich experience. Although he knew that the position of French Prime Minister was dangerous, he did not expect that the danger would come so quickly.
The day after Leonard Capet's interview with The Times, Albert Salo had just arrived at the Prime Minister's Office in the morning and was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting in front of the Prime Minister's Office.
Judging from the excited expressions of the reporters, Albert Salo faintly felt that something was unusual.
Sure enough, as soon as the reporters opened their mouths, Albert Salo became completely embarrassed.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, could you please rate the content of yesterday's interview with Mr. Leonard Capet?" This is relatively mild.
"Sorry, I haven't had time to read the newspaper yet. I will comment after I have read it." Albert Salo could still cope with it at this time.
"Will proactively tearing up the Purchase Agreement with Southern Africa lead to further deterioration in the relationship between France and Southern Africa?"
This question was a bit sharp, and Albert Salo frowned slightly, subconsciously speeding up his pace.
"Put all your hopes on the Maginot Line. If the Germans bypass the Maginot Line like they did in the last world war, does the Chancellery have a plan B to deal with this situation?"
Albert Salo had no way of answering this question, and it was not his idea to build the Maginot Line.
"The threat from Germany is approaching step by step. We are losing our most important ally during the last world war. Mr. Prime Minister, how are you going to respond to the German attack?"
Albert Salo, with a livid face and said nothing, walked quickly into the Prime Minister's Office under the protection of his entourage.
As a result, reporters have more room to play.
The poor Prime Minister fled in panic under the siege of reporters
Our Prime Minister may become the shortest-lived Prime Minister in French history
France is in danger
This may become the front page headline of tomorrow's newspaper.
Arriving at the office, Albert Salo finally knew what Leonard Capet had said in the newspaper.
"Bastards, they are all bastards, who allowed these irresponsible remarks to be published in the newspaper? The Times must pay the price!" Albert Salo was furious. He now finally knew why the reporters were so excited.
Journalists don't care how difficult it is for Albert Salo. Their task is to produce news that is eye-catching enough, so the more sensational the news headlines and content are, the better.
Albert Salo's secretary said nothing.
The Times doesn't just punish anyone it wants.
As the most influential worldwide newspaper under the Times News Group, The Times has global distribution capabilities, not only in English, French, and Chinese, but also in Spanish, German, Russian, and Portuguese.
Many people may not have thought that in Portugal, which has a land area of less than 100,000 square kilometers, the Portuguese language is the fifth or sixth largest language family in the world.
In today's Brazil, as well as in the former Portuguese East and West Africa, Portuguese is the official language.
The influence of "The Times" is so wide that politicians from various countries are very afraid of "The Times".
Albert Salo's predecessor, Edouard Daladier, had to resign because The Times revealed the truth behind the referendum in the Saarland region.
"Call Leonard Capet, I need his explanation." Albert Salo came back to his senses, filled with fear.
Never underestimate the power of public opinion, especially in a "democratic" country like France. Politicians are worthless if they lose the support of voters.
The secretary immediately called Leonard Capet's office.
"This is the Prime Minister's Office." As soon as the secretary announced his home address, the other party hung up the phone.
"How dare he do this?!!!" Albert Salo was speechless.
Leonard Capet is so brave!
Unlike politicians like Albert Salo, Leonard Capet is not the Prime Minister of France, but he is one of the most powerful people in France.
Even more powerful than the French Prime Minister.
If Albert Salo is not Prime Minister, he will have to become a lawyer.
Although Leonard Capet is not the prime minister, he is one of the richest people in France. Countless people are following Leonard Capet to earn a living. If Leonard Capet is interested in a certain French politician or
If a certain French political party is dissatisfied, then this French politician, or French political party, will not be able to get any votes from Leonard Capet.
From this perspective, Leonard Capet even has the ability to influence French politics.
That's why Leonard Capet's office really dared to hang up the phone at the Prime Minister's Office.
"Contact The Times. The French Prime Minister needs an explanation!" Albert Salo was flustered. He still didn't recognize himself.
Compared with Leonard Capet's office, The Times is very polite.
Of course, The Times did not have time to explain to Albert Salo, because the editor-in-chief of The Times was in Geneva, Switzerland, interviewing Sean Ferguson, Secretary-General of the Executive Council of the League of Nations.
Shane Ferguson has also been very depressed recently.
The Americans joining the League of Nations did not bring anything new to the League of Nations. The League of Nations was still the same League of Nations that started quarreling as soon as it met.
It's still a little different.
In the past, when the League of Nations met, Britain and France quarreled.
Now Britain and France, and Southern Africa and the United States are quarreling together.
The key thing is that there is a Russian watching the show next to him, and he will make some weird and weird remarks from time to time, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Sorry, as the Secretary-General of the Executive Council of the League of Nations, I am not in a position to comment on the French government's decision, but I always feel that it is unwise to place France's security on an immovable defense line.
"Shaun Ferguson once served as the ambassador of Southern Africa to France and is an old friend of Randall Williams, the French editor-in-chief of The Times.
"So, the French government was wrong from the beginning." Randall Williams is known for his courage to tell the truth, which is also a basic requirement of The Times.
The Times never reports fake news, and even editors don’t add comments to deliberately guide them. They just report news facts, with a little guidance at most, and let readers think for themselves.
"It cannot be said wrong. The Maginot Line is also the crystallization of the wisdom of many people. If the Maginot Line is wrong, then we have denied many great works. For France, the Maginot Line is the most suitable. If France had not built the Maginot Line, it might not even have the sense of security it has now." Sean Ferguson was more tactful and still saved face for the French government.
"A sense of security does not mean safety." Randall Williams is good at catching loopholes.
"When Germany only had an army of 100,000 men, France was definitely safe." Sean Ferguson said without leaving a trace, even in a safe situation, the French could not stop themselves from committing suicide.
"Let's talk about the arms purchase between France and Southern Africa. If France can obtain advanced weapons from Southern Africa, will France be able to protect its own security?" Randall finally asked about the "Arms Purchase Agreement."
"Of course! Southern Africa has the most advanced technology in the world. The weapons tailor-made for France by Nyasaland Military Industry and Nyasaland Aviation are enough to keep France's enemies outside the country. But France has now lost With this opportunity, I think some people will be happy with the French's decision, even happier than the French." Sean Ferguson finally revealed his dark side.
"We all know that advanced weapons do not necessarily win the war. There are many factors that lead to winning the war. How do you evaluate the combat effectiveness of the French army?" Randall asked skillfully. If you are not careful, you will fall into a trap.
"The combat effectiveness of the French army has been proven in the last world war. France is great and the French are great." Sean Ferguson stopped here.
Randall was curious, isn't the French government great?
It's obvious that Sean Ferguson's attitude just isn't great.
"Germany took back the Rhineland, and now it has taken back the Saar region. As the Secretary-General of the League of Nations Executive Council, how do you view this problem?" Randall's question became increasingly acute.
"Good question. I myself, and Southern Africa, have never given up on efforts for world peace. If Germany takes back the Rhineland and Saar regions and can make Germany a normal country, then this will be a good thing for our world. "Shaun Ferguson never misses an opportunity to build his reputation.
"What do you think of Prime Minister Albert Salo?" Randall looked at the interview with a little worry.
Sean Ferguson’s interviews so far have not had any eye-catching highlights, so this is definitely not going to work.
The Times also needs sales.
"How can I see it? A prime minister who has just been in office for ten days has not had time to straighten out his work and has encountered such a difficult matter. This is also a problem that all French prime ministers need to face. The French are losing patience. There is not enough time left for the French prime ministers. They always hope that the new prime minister will make drastic changes and achieve immediate results after taking office. Unfortunately, that is impossible. Don't forget that France is such a complicated country." Sean Ferguson finally felt a little emotional.
The French are more emotional.
The French have a very good attitude towards southern Africans.
After all, during the last World War, the Southern African Expeditionary Force made huge sacrifices to bring victory to France.
During the Southern African Expeditionary Force's operations in France, there were no bad things like those of the Americans. The overall performance was in line with France's expectations for a "civilized country's army."
So after France tore up the Arms Purchase Agreement, the French had only one request.
That means someone has to be responsible for this.
