Kapitel 1061: Chapter 792: The Bouba Peace Talks, Franco-Australian Alliance

Although the French were not clear about the secret plotting between Germany and Italy, this did not mean the French had no response to the German-Italian agreement.

In fact, the French had long been aware of the crisis caused by the rise of such authoritarian governments in Italy and Germany, and they had tried, together with the British, to strengthen restrictions on the Germans to ensure that German military power would not expand as rapidly as Italy's had.

But the bad news was that France was currently the world's second-leading power, and France was also the British Empire's biggest and most direct competitor.

Compared to Germany, which was domestically rather chaotic and had not yet regained its strength, the British were clearly more concerned about French power.

It was for this reason that the French plan for the second round of military restrictions on Germany not only failed to be implemented but even led to a relaxation of British restrictions on Germany.
