De Gaulle's current official position is President of the Provisional Government of the French Republic. This Provisional Government was composed of complex forces fighting the German invasion. Some officials came from Free France, some came from the resistance organizations in France, and the last part came from the Comintern.
Free France was mainly composed of colonial officials, who were more like outsiders to France.
The real outsider was the Communist International, but they were very powerful. During the recapture of Paris, the strike of French railway workers played a huge role, and the Communist International also grew stronger in the process.
Only the resistance organization in France is composed purely of real French people, and their leader Georges Petour is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Provisional Government.
Georges Pidour was a very powerful man. After the outbreak of the World War, he joined the army. He was captured during the war against Germany. After his release, he joined the resistance organization and never left France.
The Germans had been arresting Georges Pidour for the past few years, but no one knew where he was. It was not until the day they recaptured Paris that Georges Pidour appeared in public.
After Roque learned about the situation of the provisional government, he was completely disappointed with France.
The French are really very capable. The two world wars did not seem to teach France any lessons. If the French could unite, the Germans would have no chance of rising again.
"For the French people now, it doesn't matter who is in power, the key is who can bring milk and bread to the French people -" Stoudemire fell ill earlier this year, resigned from all posts, and is now semi-retired.
Henry was also in poor health and was receiving treatment in the hospital. After Roque returned to Pretoria, he visited Henry and found that he was very thin and out of shape.
"I can't hear that now because it reminds me of a mustache -" Sidney Milner fears France will go the way of Germany.
Comparing Germany during the Weimar government with France today, they are pretty much the same.
Rock only learned after the Allied forces invaded Europe that Europe is experiencing perhaps the largest famine in history this year, and this winter will be particularly cold for Europeans.
At the time Rock traveled through, Europe was the region with the best welfare in the world. Famine had not happened for many years. Europeans in Rock's time had never been hungry since they were born and had forgotten about hunger.
The taste of.
The situation in Europe is very bad right now.
It is now the fourth year since the World War started. Europe under German rule has lost the support from its colonies and has finally returned to its true state.
A very simple example is that farmers in the Champagne region of France are only willing to grow grapes and will not uproot their vineyards and replace them with wheat under any circumstances.
So where does France’s wheat come from?
North Africa, and colonies in East Asia.
After Germany invaded France, the supply from the colonies was interrupted, and France was squeezed and plundered by the Germans, and the situation went from bad to worse.
The arrival of the Allied forces did not alleviate the crisis in France. The war almost completely destroyed the transportation in southern France. In order to prevent the German army from mobilizing troops, the Allied forces carried out air strikes on railways and highways. In order to prevent the Allied forces from advancing, Germany blew up all the bridges.
People don't dare to use the few remaining roads because they may be minefields.
The German army had no scruples when fighting abroad, relying on cities and repeated battles with the Allies. Almost all the cities in southeastern France were destroyed. Even if the food problem is solved now, because there is no heating, there is no telling how many people will live this winter.
Frozen to death.
If someone rises up and shouts at this time, France will definitely go to extremes.
Even if it's not the German kind, it's the Russian kind.
"That's why Winston is worried about Russia. France is the most susceptible to influence." Yang Shimo is old and strong, and his condition is similar to Roque.
Roque had already decided to retire after the World War, but it looked like Yang Smuts could continue for another ten years.
In fact, Britain is not much better. The First International was born in Britain.
The Second International in Paris.
The French labor movement has a tradition, and the Paris Commune was led by the First International.
After the establishment of the Third International, the Second International did not disband. After it was reorganized in Vienna, it was called the Second and a Half International. In short, it was a mess.
The Communist International in France is the Second and a Half International, but it may be integrated with the Third International headquartered in Russia at any time. After all, France and Russia are allies now.
"We can now consider rebuilding Europe -" Roque is eager to return to southern Africa. This is the most important reason.
The impact of the world war was not felt in Pretoria.
While the Europeans were struggling in the war, Southern Africa was prospering, and people's salaries were increasing every year. Pretorians were busy watching horse racing, watching football, watching movies, and tasting various delicacies. Only in
When I read the newspaper, I realize that the world war is not over yet.
Two years before the outbreak of the world war, the front pages of newspapers in southern Africa were always reports related to the world war.
World war-related reports have now disappeared from the front pages, and even reporters and editors are getting tired of world wars.
Of course, this is also related to the situation on the Russian battlefield. If the impact is not deliberately weakened, then the newspapers will all be full of news about the Russian victory, which will give readers the feeling that Russia is challenging Germany.
Although in fact it is almost the same.
When Rock was watching tanks in St. Petersburg, he didn't know that German prisoners of war were being sent to the Russian capital for parades in Moscow every day. Countless Russian recruits went directly to the battlefield from the Red Square military parade. Now countless German prisoners of war line up to march from the Russian recruits.
Passed on the road, no one knows where they were sent.
No matter where they are sent, their fate will be very miserable.
The Russians' attitude towards their enemies is extremely cruel, and tolerance does not exist in Russian feelings.
St. Petersburg experienced a 900-day siege in the Russo-German War. From 1941 to 1944, the entire city was reduced to rubble and more than a million residents died. Therefore, when Rock, Roosevelt, and Winston were in St. Petersburg, they were strictly
Limit the scope of activities and cannot go anywhere except around your residence.
When Russia is rebuilding, it can devote all its efforts to supplying one country with one place.
France and the rest of Europe certainly can't do it, so Roque needs an aid plan to help Europe rebuild.
"Ah, it's simple. Give them a loan. The interest will be so high that it will never be repaid. By the way, the loan can only be used to purchase supplies in southern Africa. This way we can make another profit." Xiaosi has always done everything in his business.
, if Roque hadn’t always been talking about it, workers’ movements in southern Africa would have emerged one after another.
Many people don't know that the United States also has the Communist International.
However, the situation in the United States is slightly better than that in Europe, and American workers do not have a tradition of going on strike, so the American Communist International does not have much of a presence.
There is no Communist International in Southern Africa, only industrial unions.
"Oh, do you know how much money Europe owes us now? It can't be paid off anymore -" Ada is also in good condition and is facing the years calmly.
When it comes to how much Europe owes Southern Africa -
Remember the British island-for-destroyer operation?
In order to win the support of Southern Africa, De Gaulle even lost France's colonies in East Asia to Southern Africa. Isn't it sad that De Gaulle was just selling his land to others?
Not really.
It can only be said that the accountants led by Ada are too powerful to be defeated by a martial artist like De Gaulle.
Even the UK and France, which have the best economic conditions, are like this, so how can other countries fare better?
Therefore, it is really not a humiliation and humiliation for Leonard to ask Southern Africa to help take charge of France's security. With France's current strength, it is simply unable to resist the threat of Russia.
What's more, there is a Germany that may rise again at any time in the future. This is a serious concern.
Survival and dignity are never multiple choices.
It’s hard to make money and hard to eat because you don’t know how to eat it.
"Be kind to your allies, reduce what should be reduced, and exempt what should be exempted." Rock has now transcended money. At this point, making money is meaningless to him.
Of course, even Roark doesn't dare to say that he is not interested in money now, so as not to overdo it.
Ada is interested in making money, and her profession is to make money.
However, Ada is not resistant to reductions and exemptions, because there is never a free lunch in this world, and free is always the most expensive.
"If we don't do this, the Americans will do it, so we have to take action immediately." Roque did not give the Americans a chance to build their reputation.
The Marshall Plan of another time and space was blown to the sky, and many people thought that the United States provided free assistance.
This is just like the leasing plan in the United States. The essence of the leasing plan is to rent it to you if you can't afford it, and squeeze out the last copper. So don't lick your face and talk about the aid plan. In the end, Europe will become a colony of the United States.
Okay, otherwise where did so many US military bases in Europe come from?
"Is the scope too big?" Yang Smuts is worried that southern Africa will not be able to sustain it.
This is the center for aiding world civilization——
"Haha, Locke, you have to be careful. If I were French, I would just sit down and raise the price -" Stoudemire was afraid even if he didn't know the bottom line.
If southern Africa and the United States both decide to aid Europe, the French will be very happy. France will support whichever side gives more.
What de Gaulle hated was Britain, and his feelings toward the United States were not as strong as those toward the United Kingdom.
Now that Roque has chosen the latter between De Gaulle and Reynard, it is difficult to say whether De Gaulle will turn his back on the Americans.
This is not even talking about Russia.
If the bearded man really wants to cause trouble, Russia can really provide free assistance to France. The conflicts in history are nothing. If there is really a grudge, France owes it to Russia.
Rock still has confidence in Leonard.
Ada also has confidence.
So there was no need for Rock to speak, and Ada dispelled Xiaosi's worries with a sneer.
"Now not only France, Italy and Spain, but also other countries need assistance, oh, Switzerland does not need -" Yang Smuts did not forget to list Switzerland separately when he complained.
The reason why Switzerland is listed separately is that Switzerland was probably the country that benefited the most from the two world wars in Europe.
Switzerland is a permanently neutral country, and the most developed is the banking industry. Legend has it that Swiss banks would rather close their doors than leak customer information.
So many people would deposit their money in Swiss banks, such as the Hebrews who were burned by the Germans, and their money turned into smoke along with their bodies.
Switzerland was also the only country not invaded by Germany during World War II.
So from this perspective, there should be many Germans who have also deposited their money in Swiss banks, which is another dead end.
"The situation in Spain should be better, right?" Sidney Milner didn't know much about the situation in Spain.
Spain first fought a wave of civil war before the outbreak of the world war, and then as a blessing in disguise, it was not invaded by Germany, so it was not devastated by the war.
However, during the Spanish Civil War, the Popular Front was supported by Russia, so the Comintern also had a strong market in Spain.
The situation in Italy is similar.
In the words of Yang Smuts: Since reality has proven that neither the king nor the president can govern the country well, why not try a different model.
"The situation in Spain is the most serious -" Yang Smozi sneered. It was a good thing for the old ruling class that it was not devastated by the war, but not necessarily for others.
Every change of dynasty is a new round of wealth distribution. Spain has not fought a war and has been least affected by the war. The people's voice for the Communist International is also the highest. Who doesn't want to fight against the local tyrants to divide their land?
However, the Communist International in Europe would not be so thorough. In essence, it was an emerging bourgeoisie that realized political demands in the name of workers, so it was accepted by European countries.
If the British Labor Party had attacked local tyrants to allocate land from the beginning, it would have been completely obliterated by the British ruling class. Unless the British Labor Party truly relied on workers, overthrew the king's rule, and established a true workers' state.
It is a pity that the British Labor Party does not have the courage to break everything and start over, so it is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The Spanish Popular Front resisted, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful, so the Popular Front changed its name and started over again, using a different approach to see if it could gain power peacefully or in power.
This shows how naive the Spanish Popular Front is.
Real swords and real gunfire have failed to change the situation. Now, shouting a few slogans and gaining a few votes can overthrow the rule of the Spanish royal family?
Stop being funny.
"Spain is not important, the key is France and Italy." Roque grasped the key point. Within the Mediterranean, the most influential countries are still France and Italy, and Spain has long been marginalized.
Similar to France, the situation in Italy is also very chaotic. France has a fairly clear network of external forces. Italy is basically a mass of demons, including the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Southern Africa, and Russia. In addition, they usually remain silent at every critical moment.
There will be a wave of presence of the Pope every now and then, and the old king also has supporters in Italy.
