    Southeast, northwest.  Italy, Spain, Britain, and Germany, the four major powers, occupy the four sides of France. Naturally, France cannot fight on four fronts, so there is a scene in the west that is close to Britain.

    With Italy, because the two countries have common ground on religious issues, it is still relatively peaceful.  I originally thought that only Germany in the north and Spain in the south would be left, and the surveillance on both sides of France would be very tense. However, with the alliance between Italy and Germany, France was suddenly stimulated by this nightmare, and even caused the entire country to suffer.  All fell into panic.

    Gaston Doumergue was almost convinced by Chavez in the end, but the most important thing was because it contained the conditions for the combination of interests and resonance between Spain and France.

    Having thought through many problems, he felt relaxed all over, and then said jokingly: "Although Spain meets France's joint strategic requirements, it seems that Britain is also a good target. As for the problem of the United States, at least from now on  , France has not really come into contact with the United States, so for the sake of immediate interests, the alliance between France and Britain is still very promising."

    "It's strange that no one is tempted by such an idea. After all, forming an alliance with Britain will allow France to gain stronger demands for its interests in the world. However, France will not grow up under the wings of other countries.  Country, the Gauls are definitely one of the most arrogant people in the world. This raises a question, that is, if France develops, with the support of the domestic people and the ambition of the government, France  France's request at that time is to share maritime hegemony with Britain, whether it is the Atlantic or the Pacific. When you all want to be on par with Britain, will Britain agree to such conditions? Will Britain be undefended? This is absolutely unbelievable.  . In order for both sides to jointly suppress Spain and the German Empire, Britain had to agree to this condition before, but before the time comes, it can be seen now that those guys on the island of England will agree. And if France makes such a suggestion,  It is naturally beneficial to the British Empire at the moment. Therefore, France's approach makes it very likely that Britain will agree to sign the agreement without even hesitating.

    Of course, France can also restrain itself and make certain guarantees with the United Kingdom to allow the United Kingdom to give France more room for development. However, in this way, the Royal Navy can still maintain its status as the world's number one naval power.  And still be unique without having to share it with anyone.

    However, the development of France has been greatly restricted since then. Most of France's current navy can only be concentrated in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the mainland. France's status as a world power has been established because of the ports provided by these colonies. It is destined to appear in various countries.  One day in the ocean, France's naval status rose.  The threat to Britain in the Atlantic is also not small, if not greater than the threat posed by the Spanish navy to the British navy in the Pacific and Mediterranean.

    "The United Kingdom will not sit back and ignore the real closeness of our two countries." Gaston Dumelo did not say whether France would pursue such a strategy with Spain, but the meaning was already very obvious.

    Chavez chuckled and said: "Although the UK is really powerful, doing nothing in the UK and always saying that it is none of my business to stay away from the European continent has already made them think that they are not in the same category as us, so  . In this regard, in fact, we don¡¯t really need to worry about them. After all, seriously speaking. If they fight, the United Kingdom may not be our opponent. Even if the United States is added, we should have  Make sure they don¡¯t take any advantage.¡±

    "However, Gaston's expression did not relax much because of this.

    Chavez knew what he meant by looking at his expression, and said: "As for Germany, it seems that Tsarist Russia is also a good opponent, so on this point, colleagues in France can rest assured."

    Gaston Doumergue was silent again for a while. He understood what Chavez meant. Although Britain and the United States may come together, the two countries may not be sincere and truly united. After all, after all,  The latter is a colony of the former. As for Britain and the United States, they also took more precautions against them after independence, so the two countries are definitely on guard against each other.

    Although France's navy is not as powerful as Spain's, the difference is not very big. After all, Spain needs to place one-third of its warships in the Pacific, and it also needs some in the Indian Ocean, so the Mediterranean and the Atlantic only account for about half.  Therefore, even if it is allocated to Africa and the South Pacific, France in the Mediterranean and the English Channel is only inferior to the Spanish navy.

    But conversely, a country in these areas already has?It can almost protect itself, and can even compete with the navies of other countries in the region. If France and Spain are combined, then in this world, you can really go to all sea areas. After all, Spain¡¯s naval battle experience,  But France can't compare, but France's naval battle is not much weaker, and it has even been ranked among the top four in the world.

    So conversely, if Spain and France unite, the situation will be completely different. Spain and France can attack the United States from the Atlantic, and the two countries unite in the Pacific to form a pincer attack from the Atlantic. The most important thing is that Spain is currently second only to the United Kingdom.  , tied for second place with the German navy. If the navies of Spain and France were added together, the U.S. Navy, which did not know its allies in the future, would be enough to defeat Britain. Moreover, the U.S. Navy¡¯s actual capital ships currently in service are even more powerful than those of the two countries.  It is less, and it is not at the same level as the alliance between France and Spain.

    And these can all be turned around to deal with the German Empire and the Italian Alliance. As long as these countries are at war with France and Spain, then our two countries can deal with them specifically and engage in a real battle of strength against strength.  , Germany, Italy and Austria will face heavy blows from our two countries plus Hungary and other countries one by one. At that time, starting from the Mediterranean to the North Sea and the North Sea, we will truly gain the right to self-protection in Eurasia."

    Chavez¡¯s words have completely moved Gaston Dumelo, so the two finally entered into final negotiations.
