Paris. Just hearing this name. The first thought that came to the Europeans' mind was a luxurious place. This kind of atmosphere also affected the French army. For example, the military was preparing to go to the Moulin Rouge, so they rushed to deal with the Hungarian problem.
The Russians were afraid that the King of Romania would be captured by the Hungarians, so they 'requested' the King to visit Russia. This kind of unambitious approach was despised by the French army. The vice chief laughed, "You should at least go to the border of Russia and wait for an opportunity!"
The chief of staff didn't say anything. At this time, the border between Russia and Romania only existed on paper. The Russian Army and the Hungarian Red Army were fighting each other in this area. The two sides were intertwined, so it was impossible to tell where the border of Russia was. The vice chief's words showed that his mind was not on the war at this time.
"I don't know what the people at the front are thinking. They want us to mobilize the troops to save Constanza. It's not that they don't have a way out. As long as they retreat south to Bulgaria, the Hungarians will certainly not pursue them. Let's just discuss it with Bulgaria, "the minister suggested.
It had to be said that compared to the previous suggestions made by the military, the minister's suggestion was much more serious and commendable. It was practical and flexible. At the same time, it took into account war and diplomacy. It was very operable. The chief of staff had doubts. Could it be that the minister had been possessed by something?
Now that things had come to this point, there was no reason for them to continue talking. Such a matter would not cause the military to fall into a wrangling war because the French advisory group was really in danger.
After the matter was settled, the senior officers of the military moved out together. They first went to a Chinese restaurant called 'Red Commune.' Looking at the whole of France, this chain was the most authentic Chinese restaurant.
Everyone's appetizer was walnut meat. The meat was wrapped in medium-rare walnuts, wrapped in egg white, and fried in oil. Placed on hawthorn sauce, it looked ordinary but tasted delicious. Next was tomato scrambled eggs, steak, Provencal fish soup, and paella. It was really a satisfying meal. In addition to the authentic Chinese food, the Red Commune's French food was equally authentic.
There was also the Jewel Wine's superior absinthe on the table. For such a fragrant meal, strong alcohol was the most suitable. Everyone talked about the recent French policies, and there were rumors that the government was going to ban absinthe. Drinking absinthe was a century-old tradition in the French army. The soldiers cursed the politicians for their nonsense and soon got tipsy. After paying the bill, they got in the car and went straight to the Moulin Rouge.
As soon as the soldiers left, another luxury-looking car stopped in front of the Red Commune. When the car door opened, the French Foreign Minister and the Hungarian Foreign Minister walked into the restaurant. The Hungarian Foreign Minister smiled at the Chinese style of the restaurant, such as the bundle of dried mugwort hanging on the door frame. Hanging herbs was often considered magic in Europe. China's Dragon Boat Festival tradition caused a small stir in Hungary. Later on, he found out that the people of China had never believed in magic since ancient times. The purpose of hanging these things was only to repel mosquitoes.
"The absinthe in this shop uses spring water from the Alps, and the taste of the wine is extremely pure." The French foreign minister showed off his knowledge a little.
The Hungarian foreign minister laughed and said, "That small river is in the territory of a marquis. I heard that the marquis is going to drive the Gem Wine Industry away."
"Oh? Does he think the Gem Wine Industry is not paying enough? "The French foreign minister heard the news for the first time.
"No. After the marquis chose to live a life of abstinence, he seems to be particularly sensitive to all kinds of stimuli from the outside world. "The Hungarian foreign minister replied seriously.
The French Foreign Minister burst into laughter after hearing this. He immediately regarded the Hungarian Foreign Minister, who had a lot of scars on his face, as someone from the same circle. Generally speaking, such scars would only be regarded as soldiers.
There were Chinese and French among the staff of the Red Commune, but most of them were French. The menu was served, and the French foreign minister ordered a pure French set meal. After the waiter left, the Hungarian foreign minister couldn't help but ask, "Sir, I heard that all countries are very vigilant about privacy. Will you cause any controversy by eating here?"
"The French Communist Party is already the third largest party in France. If it weren't for the fact that state ownership of land must be implemented by force, I think they would probably be in power already." There was no sign of embarrassment in the foreign minister's tone.
The Hungarian foreign minister knew that France was more romantic, but he didn't expect that in reality, France was really liberal. The Hungarian foreign minister immediately began to adjust his thinking.
"Mr. Foreign Minister, you came to France during the war in Hungary. I don't know what your plan is. Are you going to issue war bonds in France? "The French foreign minister asked calmly.
"No. I want more. I hope that France will not support Russia in this war. "The Hungarian foreign minister immediately replied.
The French foreign minister nodded and replied, "Indeed, I want more. So what can Hungary offer? "
"If, I mean if. If we defeat Russia, Hungary hopes to become a permanent neutral country. "The Hungarian foreign minister said confidently.
This confidence made the French people laugh. "Haha!" The French foreign minister laughed and said, "Sir, I personally admire Napoleon, so I don't like Russia. Napoleon couldn't defeat Russia, and the last time Russia was beaten to the negotiating table was by the British and French forces. Are you trying to tell us that your war strength surpasses that of the British and French forces? "
The Hungarian foreign minister's entourage showed dissatisfaction after being offended, but the Hungarian foreign minister looked calm. In this world where superpowers ran amok, there was no right to speak without strength. The Hungarian foreign minister, as a poor man, understood this reality through his own experience. People without strength could only moan under the oppression. All successful revolutions sent the former oppressor to the guillotine. The Hungarian revolution was the same as the French revolution.
"Let's look at it from another angle." The Hungarian foreign minister said, "Under what circumstances will France stop supporting Russia?"
The French foreign minister thought for a while and said, "Mr. Foreign Minister, if it's my personal opinion, I think Hungary should issue war bonds."
The dinner was very good. French food was really good, and the chef of the Red Commune restaurant chain was also very good. The Hungarian party declined the invitation to go to the Moulin Rouge and returned to the Hungarian Embassy in France. After closing the door, the Hungarian foreign minister said unhappily, "What's the attitude of the French? Apart from declaring war, I really didn't see him do anything else. "
The Hungarian foreign minister was very puzzled by this statement. The French foreign minister's words sounded like the friendliest answer to the Hungarian foreign minister. There was no meaningless test, no nonsense entanglement. All the questions went straight to the core. 'France will not send troops for Russia, but France will not stab Russia in the back.' Such a sincere answer should not be regarded as malicious in any case.
Of course, there was no need to criticize their own comrades for foreigners. The Hungarian foreign minister smiled and said, "Our goal this time is not to impress the upper echelons of France, but to let the French people know our peaceful attitude."
"What's the use of promoting peace at this time?" The Hungarian foreign minister asked.
"Who do you think is more barbaric, France or Russia?" The Hungarian foreign minister asked.
"Of course, France." The Hungarian foreign minister answered simply.
"Between Britain and Russia, who is more civilized?"
"Britain."
"Is Britain, France, or Russia the most evil?"
"…"
After a simple conversation, the Hungarian foreign minister was silent. The Hungarian foreign minister was not silent. He continued, "However, the more important thing in this world is order. We think that Russia is more evil because, apart from cruel oppression, Russia can't come up with any other order. England and France had done ten times as many evil things as Russia, but the order they had created offered ten times as many opportunities as Russia, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it offered dozens, or even hundreds, of opportunities. We see destruction from Russia, and creation from Britain and France. Of course, we will think that Britain and France are very civilized. "
"Then … what about the Min dynasty?" The Hungarian foreign minister could not help but ask. It could be seen that this question was similar to a life-saving straw in thinking. If China was also listed as evil, the Hungarian foreign minister would probably not be able to bear this view. However, looking at the numbers, China lost hundreds of millions of people in the internal revolutionary war, and at least tens of millions in foreign wars. At least the United States claimed that China killed 40 million people. Their population dropped from 60 million to 20 million. In addition to other conquests, it was said that China's Emperor Vézé killed 200 million people in his lifetime.
"The black slave trade cost Africa more than 100 million people. This is the number sent to the coast. More people died on the way. In terms of evil, it is not easy for China to catch up. "The Hungarian foreign minister laughed.
Without waiting for the comrade with his head covered to say anything, the Hungarian Foreign Minister continued, "What China has given the world is not order, but a brand-new path. On this path, the poor were finally liberated. We are the proof. China is the proof. Is there anything greater and more humane than this? "
"But …" The staff felt confused about this logic and fact.
