When Lyon arrived outside the Military Inspectorate, it was already half past eight in the evening.
After he explained his identity to the guards at the entrance of the compound of the Military Supervision Bureau, one of the guards ran back to the courtyard to inform his superiors.
"Sir, a German lieutenant colonel who calls himself Leon Andrés has come to visit you outside." The servant of the military administration came to Renault's bedroom and knocked on the door and said.
Renault, who had just received the telegram from the domestic reply, was about to go to bed, and after hearing the servant's words, he just wanted to say nothing, but when the words reached his mouth, Renault thought to himself: "Leon Andrés? It seems that the first confidant of the German Minister of War, Lieutenant General Strauss, is called Leon Andrés. "
Then Renault remembered the clear content of the reply telegram he had just received to win over Germany, and couldn't help but smile, he was worried about how to convey to the upper echelons of the German army the intention of France to win over Germany, so came a confidant of Lieutenant General Strauss, the chief of operations, God is helping me. Then he hurriedly said to the servant at the door: "Let him come directly to my bedroom." "
After a while, Renault saw a young Wehrmacht lieutenant colonel, and after the two sat down, Renault asked suspiciously: "You are Lieutenant Colonel Leon Andrés?"
Leon smiled and said, "Don't you see me as different?" "
Colonel Renault smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry! You are so young, I have never met a lieutenant colonel as young as you. "
Leon laughed, and then said with a sad face: "First of all, I personally apologize for the harm caused to your people by the war a few years ago. "
Colonel Renault also put away his smile when he heard this: "For the last war, I think that if Germany can realize its mistake, it is worthy of our forgiveness." I guess Mr. Andrés is not visiting me so late today to apologize. "
Leon leaned forward slightly and said, "Colonel Renault, I wonder what you think about the current situation in Europe?" "
Renault couldn't figure out the meaning of Leon's words for a while, and replied carefully: "Britain and our France are equally divided, what's wrong?" "
Leon hooked the corners of his mouth: "Then Colonel Renault, who do you think Britain will attack in order to stabilize its world hegemony after Britain collapses our Germany?" "
Colonel Renault's face changed and he thought: Why did Germany suddenly ask this question, did they understand our intentions? No, it's a bit off schedule. Then he pretended to be slightly angry and said to Leon: "Please pay attention to your words, Lieutenant Colonel! I can interpret this as you or your country provoking relations between our country and the United Kingdom! "
Leon saw Renault pause before saying this, and understood in his heart that there was a drama: "With all due respect, Colonel Renault, it is entirely possible for England to attack France - after all, your country has been at war with them for 116 years before, and that group of self-righteous Britons will not allow a country that is only one strait away from them to grow!" "
Colonel Renault thought carefully for a long time, and then sighed: "Mr. Andres, your reminder is indeed reasonable, but this is not for me to decide, I need to ask my superiors." "
Seeing that Renault was in deep thought, Leon stood up with interest: "Colonel Renault, it's not early, I won't disturb you to rest, good night!" Then he exited Renault's bedroom.
Lyon did not intend to ally France in the first place, but Renault and the government behind him were willing to consider, and Lyon achieved his goal - he had widened the gap that already existed between Britain and France by a lot.
The next day, Lyon came to the military administration again, but this time he did not come to Renault, he came to find the British representative, Lieutenant Colonel Allen.
Lyon asked the guards to inform Lieutenant Colonel Allen, and after receiving a positive answer, he walked into the office of the British representative.
Lieutenant Colonel Allen is a standard English gentleman, and he made a very standard greeting ceremony after meeting Lyon, and Leon made sufficient preparations before coming, so he also returned the salute with standard etiquette, which made Lieutenant Colonel Allen feel good about Lyon.
Lieutenant Colonel Allen smiled and asked Leon to sit down, saying, "Oh, Mr. Andrés, if the Germans were as polite as you, then I am afraid I would not have a chance to sit here." Although Lieutenant Colonel Allen had a favorable opinion of Lyon, Germany, as a defeated country, was inevitably ridiculed by him.
Leon frowned, then stretched out again and said with a smile: "Mr. Allen can really joke, our people have always treated their friends with humility and courtesy." Then he paused and continued: "Of course, I am not here today to discuss the question of politeness, I have evidence in my hand that your colleague, Colonel Renault, proposes that France be on guard and ready for war with the British Empire. "
The reason why Leon said so frighteningly was that he was sure that Lieutenant Colonel Allen and Colonel Renault would not directly question in person, but silently guarded in their hearts.
Lieutenant Colonel Allen said suspiciously when he heard this: "Where did you get the news?" I advise you not to try to sow discord between our two countries. "
Leon replied seriously: "This information is very true, and I come to remind you that you do not want to go to war again, and the people have suffered enough." In fact, Lieutenant Colonel Allen also believed that France might really be wary of Britain and even preparing for war.
Lieutenant Colonel Allen knows because Britain is also wary of France and is also preparing for a possible future Anglo-French war, but from the perspective of Lieutenant Colonel Allen, he does not want Britain and France to fight as a last resort, but the ambitions of the French have been gradually revealed.
No one knows the potential of Germany better than Lieutenant Colonel Allen, who has lived in Germany for a long time, and their people have not yet thrown in the towel. The Germanic peoples, like the one in the far East, could not be conquered.
Maybe you can defeat him, but you can never make them bow down, which is why the Chinese nation does not have the ability to colonize it even when it is weakest. Today's Germany is the same, the defeat in World War I humiliated all Germans, but no one thought of giving in, unlike some island country.
Shaking his head, Lieutenant Colonel Allen replied and said: "Whether this information is true or not, I personally thank you for your efforts for peace, you are right, the people can no longer stand more senseless casualties, so please also learn from you and the German government behind you and don't make mistakes again." After speaking, he stared at Leon with dead eyes, as if he could see his thoughts in his eyes.
Leon just smiled: "Of course, neither the German people nor the German government want another war. Then he stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you, take my leave." "
Lieutenant Colonel Allen stood up and sent Leon to the door before turning and returning to the room.
He did not hear Leon say in a low voice that seemed to be talking to himself: "At least the German people will not start a war now!"
