Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

() Every day in France, people hold demonstrations in Paris and other cities across the country. Spain's serious contempt for France has aroused their indignation, so they strongly demand that the government respond strongly to Spain's behavior. It is best to was to respond with armed demonstrations against Spain.

But this proposal encountered great resistance, why?

"The situation is getting more and more confusing now," Pika sighed.

"Who says it's not?" Lison was also a little confused. . .

Armand Farier next to him was even more confused.

Seeing that the two of them didn't mean to say anything, Pica pretended to cough, and then said: "Our country already has very serious local regionalism. Those near the north, especially the Brittany people, used to be very hostile to the Germans. The people of the Empire love and hate it. What they hate is that the German Empire has threatened their security. What they love is that the economic development of the German Empire has benefited them a lot. Therefore, although they criticize the German Empire in peacetime, , they will very much agree with it and even directly submit their opinions to the parliament, etc.

However, they were absolutely opposed to any serious military confrontation or even military war against the German Empire. Therefore, over the years, they have formed the so-called pro-German and anti-German northern regions in our country. In the south, due to the close economic relations between Spain and us in recent years and the peace between the two countries, Spain has gained the favor of many people in our country, needless to say, in the south. It has benefited greatly from Spain's rapid economic development. Some people even think that the reason why Toulouse has developed into a city with less concessions than inland cities like Lyon is because it benefited from the development of the land economy with Spain. Therefore, this city is also called " It is the representative city of Spain in France. " . .

"Therefore, although many people are now asking the government to use force to combat Spain's arrogance, people in Toulouse, Bordeaux and Marseille in the south of Corsica have expressed their opposition, especially those below Businessmen, because a lot of their business is conducted with Spain, are driven by them, and because being at odds with Spain really harms their real interests. Therefore, most of the people who are calling for war against Spain are people from the north. Toulouse, Bordeaux, Corsica, and Marseille are opposed to it, while Paris, Tours-Amiens, Nancy-Le-Mans, Rennes, Brest, etc. all strongly support the threat of force. However, central parties such as Lyon choose neutrality. This is the situation now in our country where there are different ideas about Spain.”

"Let's put it this way. If we really go to war with Spain, then the people in the south may object."

"It's very possible. Interests will definitely drive some people to do something to safeguard their interests. Therefore, such an idea is definitely possible. Therefore, many people in the parliament are southerners, and Speaker Paul, Dume is from Toulouse. The President of the Senate, Stephen, is also from Marseille, and Gaston Doumergue is also from Bordeaux. These people are all heavyweights who play a decisive role in French politics, and the reason why they are what they are today is also because of the South They are supporting the interests of southerners in the French government and parliament to support them. If we really comply with those people's requests and continue to carry out military attacks on Spain, I am worried that if the recall case is really implemented in a few days If you want to proceed, then President, if you annoy them, it may be possible for them to make up their minds and support your removal."

"President, I think what Pica said this time is right. Originally, Paul Dume was your competitor, but because of your better political performance and the special circumstances last time, the southerners were not united last time. We support you and him together instead of spreading out, but this does not mean that Paul Dume is not popular. Just look at how he was re-elected as Speaker of the House of Representatives with a high vote to know how popular he is with southerners, and even There are also a lot of votes in the northern region, so I call on the president to still be a peace negotiator and let the two countries do something to ease relations. This will give you more space instead of compressed space to deal with this. A matter should be hard or soft.

Perhaps only in this way can we win over the votes of the southerners, and as President Lyon, your status in the balance between the north and the south of France is destined to be incomparable to that of Paul Dume. Just like this, northerners will obviously not really benefit from Dume Paulo (as mentioned earlier, the two belong to the same party, so if the current president is removed, Dume Paulo from the same party will become the presidential heir during this term until Adjustments will be made only after the answer is obtained in another election, because in France, the president appoints the prime minister, and the president of the Senate, Stephen, who is originally the first heir, is the leader of the main opposition party).

How could Armand Farier not know this? It is not new news that southerners are becoming more and more powerful in France. Spain's economy not only drives the development of their national economy, but also benefits a lot from neighboring countries, and several places in the south are the best beneficiaries like Portugal. Their huge economic development led to the emergence of a large number of business giants in the South. With huge sums of money, their status in France rose sharply. In this way, the wealthy people in the north who originally benefited from the economic development of the German Empire were overshadowed by the south. Originally, there was only one big city in the south, Marseille, but now there is It became three, forming the current situation of the five major cities in France: Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux and Toulouse competing for hegemony.

Just look at the fact that the South occupies the top three positions and you will know how strong their power is. It is no wonder that the House of Representatives and the Senate are now controlled by them. However, they really need this to maintain their position. In the eyes of the outside world, they are a bit weak. Incomparable policy towards Spain? Do you want to continue to be an aggrieved French president who wants to cower? This made him feel very ugly. This is something no one wants to do, but I do it anyway. Forget it, let’s take a look and talk about it later.

Armand said a little discouraged: "Then try to communicate with the southern members of the two houses. Pica" gave him a serious look, "it's up to you to come forward with the southern members, you are more familiar with them."

Pika's heart skipped a beat. Why did the word "familiar" sound so long? He pretended not to hear it and accepted it.

"Lison, you often deal with people from the north, so how about the northern congressmen handle it for you?"

"No problem," Lison said simply.

The remaining two people from the middle class didn't ask, because the middle class was a die-hard supporter of Armand Falier, so it was natural for him to take care of the matter.

"In this case, then, it is better to set off sooner rather than later."

I’m learning to drive today, so I’ll update it first, and tomorrow I’ll update it three times. (To be continued.)
