What does France need now? That is the export of capital. For financial bankers, interests are far more important than other things. However, sooner or later they will understand that true strength must be strong locally.

To be precise, the time for European countries to realize that the United States may have an impact on Europe's dominance of the world has to be delayed rather than now, because currently in the eyes of European countries, the United States is still a former colony with weak military power.

They felt that the United States of America was a threat. They had to wait until the war between the United States and Spain. The United States defeated the Spanish Empire in a new way, which gave European countries an extremely powerful impact. At that time, the United States threat theory made headlines in various countries.

, has become the mainstream public opinion in these countries.

It was also the result of the United States' defeat of the Spanish Empire that made these European countries realize the importance of local strength. Colonies are colonies, and that kind of power cannot replace the status of the local area.

After this, European countries changed their understanding of their territory and began to strengthen local construction. The purpose of expansion also changed from fighting for colonies to defeating the enemy and entering the other party's territory.

As European observers at the end of the nineteenth century recognized, the United States, as the forerunner of this new territorial concept, rationally used its human resources, technology, and social systems to maximize the absorption of North America's natural resources and consolidate the market

dominant position in domestic economic activities.

The United States defeated Spain in the war, which showed that European countries were not invincible. Later, the island nation defeated Imperial Russia, which showed that the white countries were not invincible. The significance of these two wars is very important.

Today's European countries do not have a unified understanding of the United States. Some people think that the United States of America is a threat because of its huge territory and large population. Others think that the United States' military power is not strong. This is especially true of the French, who think that the United States is a threat to the United Kingdom and Germany.

The vigilance of the United States far exceeds the vigilance of the United States.

On European issues, the French are wary of Germany. On world issues, the relationship between France and the British is very poor. The Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente are still being formed, and the French are not yet able to judge which one deserves more death, the British or the Germans.

.

The current United States is naturally not as transparent as it was back then, but it is still some time away from being criticized. After Sheffield got to know the dark side of Paris, he witnessed some transactions between old men and young women, and felt that he could do something.

.

"Men are not all like this!" He bases his happiness on the pain of others and likes to look for places where others are not as good as him. This is Sheffield's personal hobby. However, this time he was a bit indifferent to the occasion and had no scruples.

There was also an earl's daughter with him.

This way of browsing the red light district of Paris in this era, in Anna's eyes, is simply for herself. Do you want yourself to take the initiative? How come she met such a shameless person when she was traveling with a man for the first time.

Degenerate imperialist country! Sheffield finally understood why the old man chose to settle in Paris. The old man and the girl he saw when he first arrived in Paris were really normal.

"Because you and I are talking in English, you see that the woman just now seems to be a little hostile to me? What is this? Is it patriotic? She is obviously out to sell!" Although Sheffield was just walking around casually, it does not mean that he did not observe it.

What, it wasn’t until they were far away that they gestured exaggeratedly and said, "Do they even have the pride of the French people? Are they prostitutes rather than prostitutes?"

"Maybe?" Anna's face felt a little hot, and she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. This bastard was hinting at me to take the initiative again, damn American bumpkin.

The French are indeed arrogant. People's desire for greatness and sublimity and their expectation of national pride have always been higher than their belief in freedom, equality and fraternity. Amid the decline of the republic and the greatness of the empire, the arrogant French

Choose the latter without hesitation every time.

The French love freedom more than any other nation in the world, but they can also modify the meaning of freedom according to actual needs; the French can shed blood for democracy, but they can also sing praises for the dynasty sincerely; the French can start early for fraternity.

Slavery could be abolished, but colonial empires could also be built.

Sheffield felt that this was a double standard. The French thought that power was more important than life. It is estimated that in Europe, only the gray animals under the command of the Russian Empire were more perverted than them. No wonder France and the Russian Empire had always had a good relationship. It turned out that they had a common language.

"Since they are arrogant, I will flatter them and manipulate public opinion." After walking around for a while, Sheffield had already made up his mind and asked in a very gentlemanly manner, "Which newspaper is the most influential?"

"Le Figaro!" Although she felt that Sheffield's question was a bit confusing, the girl still answered the question.

"Le Figaro" was founded in 1826. Its registration is derived from the protagonist Figaro in the famous play "The Marriage of Figaro" by French playwright Beaumarchais. Its motto is very famous around the world.

, that is, if criticism is not free, praise is meaningless. In the minds of France, especially Parisians, "Le Figaro" has a very strong influence.

When Sheffield returned to the apartment, the guests had not yet left. Harry Sheffield looked at the two people who came in and nodded, pointing to the stairs for the two people to go up and continue discussing things.

"Mr. Fernand! Le Figaro has a strong influence among the aristocracy and property owners in Paris. Now our Secretary of State is officially visiting Paris. As a citizen of the United States, I have something to say to all the citizens of France.

.And this needs your help." Rich Martin came to Le Figaro and met Fernand Rodet, the editor-in-chief of Le Figaro at this time. "Although the long-term friendship between France and the United States has its twists and turns,

But it will never fade. We believe that in this world, if the British fall into madness, the only people who can wake them up are the French."

"Dear Mr. Martin, you must know that Le Figaro, as an objective and neutral newspaper, will not misuse its influence, not to mention that tomorrow's content has been edited." Fernand crossed his fingers on the table.

· Luo Dai declined with an apologetic look, "Maybe I can't help with this matter."

Richie Martin sighed, as if knowing that this matter would not go so smoothly from the beginning, he stretched out his hand and said, "Five thousand francs!"
