Just when Lan Fang was preparing to attack the British, France was already in chaos. 23us.

From France's perspective, if Germany joins Lafon's side, France's reasons for joining the British side are indeed very good, but the actual situation is that after France declared war on Germany, France was immediately enveloped in a mood of defeat.
It is a mass of mourning.
The damage caused by the First World War to France was too great. Before the World War, the total population of Germany was 60 million, the United Kingdom was 50 million, and France was only 40 million. A hundred years ago,
This number is upside down. Before the French Revolution, there was a population of 28.6 million. This population was even larger than that of Russia, and nearly three times that of the United Kingdom, which had a population of only about 10 million at the time. At that time, Germany had not even been unified.
There are no exact statistics.
In the 125 years since the outbreak of the French Revolution, France's population has only increased by 50%. Compared with other European countries that have experienced population explosions, this is almost a negative growth rate.
And France is not without negative growth. In the First World War, France lost 1.24 million people. This was just the number of people killed in battle. There were even more people who were disabled due to injuries. After the world war, the French economy was in a long-term slump. Even though it had grown from Desha
France began to work hard to increase its population during the Nell era, and even accepted a large number of Persians and black people. However, since 1920, France's population has always been experiencing negative growth.
Part of the reason for this is that Lan Fang is constantly poaching, so the French have very complicated feelings towards Lan Fang.
On the one hand, the French were deeply impressed by the performance of the Lanfang Army in the last World War. There is still a cemetery for foreign legionnaires in the Champagne Chalons in Capilans, Paris, where people can pay their respects. Although the French in the introduction
It is always said that those military exploits are the achievements of the French Foreign Legion, but in fact all French people know that this so-called Foreign Legion refers to the Lanfang people, and only the Lanfang people, except for those mainly composed of Lanfang people.
Apart from those few troops, the other troops of the Foreign Legion have even been disbanded, and they still have a shitty record to speak of.
On the other hand, the rise of Lanfang will inevitably touch the interests of France. Lanfang's continuous immigration, continuous expansion, and even the endless emergence of new things make the French feel envious and jealous, and ordinary French people cannot
Imagine how a country that relied on France for its existence a few years ago could even surpass France in national power in just a few years.
It’s not surprising. The French always do this kind of thing. In order to cause trouble for the British, the French supported the independence of the United States. As a result, the United States became the world leader and France became a vassal of the United States. This is also the case now. Overall
It is said that France is a typical example of harming others but not benefiting oneself.
If ordinary French people still have doubts about Lanfang, then for the French elite, the threat of Lanfang is becoming more and more serious. Cam Ranh Bay is the best evidence. To be honest, France
If people don't want to see Cam Ranh Bay getting better and better, it is tantamount to proving the incompetence of the French government.
When some thoughtful people provoked these envy, jealousy and hatred, the relationship between Lanfang and France took a turn for the worse. First, they dissolved their alliance, and then they were about to meet in war.
Perhaps it was only at this moment that the French realized the seriousness of the problem.
In fact, in World War I, France was the bridgehead against Germany. Because of the English Channel and because the German fleet was not strong enough, the war was limited to the French side of the European continent and had little impact on the United Kingdom across the sea.
Big, now it seems that history will repeat itself again, and this time France will have to face not only Germany, an old rival, but also Lanfang, an old friend.
This reality has made many French people feel desperate. Ever since Gaston Doumergue declared war on Germany, France has been filled with strong fear of war and pessimism and disappointment. All French people are unwilling to serve their country. Many active soldiers
He even took off his military uniform and left the military camp to express his opposition to Gaston Doumergue with practical actions.
What is incredible is that although France declared war on Germany, it did not declare war on Lanfang. In France, companies with a strong Lanfang background, including KFC chain stores, United Petroleum and LLL companies, are still continuing to operate.
, even the Daily News, Lanfang’s propaganda machine, continues to publish newspapers, which not only makes the French laugh and laugh, but also makes the British doubt the extent of France’s participation.
After Gaston Doumergue declared war on Germany, Daily News organized a social survey. It was found that the support rate of the new French President Gaston Doumergue has dropped from 55% when he first took office to the current insufficient
Ten percent, and there are even voices in the French Congress calling for the impeachment of Gaston Doumergue.
On the streets of Paris, there are large mass rallies every day. They march in front of the presidential palace of the Elysée Palace, demanding that the government withdraw its decision to declare war on Germany, and at the same time demand Gaston Doumergue to step down. In the residences of dignitaries in Paris, there are still
It's a sensual affair, the banquet schedule is full, but all the participants will frown and lower their voices and whisper, the disturbing atmosphere is spreading, and in Capi Champagne Chalon Reims, where these Lanfang soldiers once fought
, many French people spontaneously organized and formed a volunteer army to go to Sardinia to help the Lanfang people kick the Italians' butts. As for the companies controlled by large groups such as the Dutch Consortium, BNP Paribas Consortium, they are busy
Raising the selling price of goods, hoarding military supplies, and driving up prices are a way to make a fortune for the country.
For them, it doesn't matter who comes to power. Even if the Germans capture Paris, the Germans will still have to rely on local cowards like them to maintain their rule.
It seems that French society is facing a split.
Just as Paris was in chaos, Bastien came to Corsica, the base camp of the Foreign Legion.
Although Bastian resigned as Minister of War, he did not step down from the Foreign Legion, so Bastian is still the commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion. Since the Qin Zhiyuan period, Corsica has been the headquarters of the Foreign Legion, so Bastian
When Tian returned to Corsica, it was as if he had returned home.
After Bastian took over the Foreign Legion, the headquarters of the Foreign Legion was resettled back to Sidi Bel Abbas, Algeria. On the island of Corsica, Thunder Bluff, which once served as the headquarters of the Foreign Legion, has now become a protective umbrella.
The company's headquarters.
Bastian came to Corsica and was looking for Gary Buell, the general manager of the Umbrella Company.
Before Qin Zhiyuan returned to Lanfang, Gary Buell had been Qin Zhiyuan's driver. He could stay in this position for more than three years. Gary Buell was Qin Zhiyuan's absolute confidant, and Gao Hongshi was of great significance to Qin Zhiyuan.
almost.
After Qin Zhiyuan returned to Lanfang, Garibuel did not follow Qin Zhiyuan to Lanfang, but stayed in Corsica. Qin Zhiyuan did not treat Garibuel badly. Garibuel's family now lives in Corsica.
On Sijia Island, Gary Buel's wife is even a council member of Thunder City.
Unlike the French Foreign Legion, the Umbrella Company, which has a strong Lanfang background, is still dominated by Easterners, and the majority of them are Annanese. These Annanese do not have Lanfang nationality and are from French colonies, so they are not counted.
Too sensitive.
Although it is only one company, Umbrella is now very large in scale. This company with a military nature is similar to a mercenary company in the general sense. The company has nearly 10,000 employees and its business is spread all over the world.
The Corsica government is also a service object of the Umbrella Company. As a local government with extremely high autonomy, the French government did not deploy troops in Corsica. When Qin Zhiyuan was still serving as the commander of the Foreign Legion, Corsica’s defense was provided by foreigners.
After Qin Zhiyuan left office, the French government once wanted to deploy an army in Corsica, but was firmly opposed by the Corsica government, and the matter ended up being nothing.
The Umbrella Company is currently responsible for the defense of Corsica. Of course, there is also a force purely composed of Corsicans. This force is nominally controlled by the Ministry of Justice, but it does not accept the orders of the Ministry of Justice.
Dispatch.
When Bastian got off the plane, the atmosphere at Thunder City Airport was completely different from when Qin Zhiyuan came to Thunder City.
There were no flowers, red carpets, welcoming crowds, or military bands at the airport. What greeted Bastian was a well-positioned anti-aircraft gun emplacement, airport guards with live ammunition, and vague eyes of hatred.
Ever since Gaston Doumergue declared war on Germany, Corsica has carried out general mobilization. Corsica has now turned into a large military camp, but the object of their hatred is probably not Lanfang and Germany, but more likely France.
More than half of the current population of Corsica is of Chinese descent, and less than half are pure French. It is hard to believe that this is still French territory.
After France declared war on Germany, the Corsican government unilaterally terminated the airport flights between Paris and Marseille. Although the Corsican government did not comment on the French government's declaration of war, almost all
Everyone knows that the Corsicans will never side with France this time.
At the very least, the French government cannot expect to receive any supplies of materials and personnel from Corsica.
Corsica does have resources, especially in the medical field. Corsica's medical strength is the best in Europe.
After Lanfang declared war on Italy, Corsica organized a medical team of 1,200 people to volunteer to go to Sardinia to support Lanfang in fighting Italy. The Corsica government stated that this was just a personal act.
But it's obvious that no one believes this explanation.
