Chapter 21, Indulgence Mode 2.0

Forming an alliance is a complex matter that requires contemplation of various issues, as England and France are rivals in many areas, not devoid of contradictions.

Austria has placed enough pressure on the British yet has not put sufficient pressure on the French, at least the Paris Government does not deeply feel the threat from Austria.

Do not be fooled; the recent civil war has severely damaged France, and it will take several years to recover. This is the external view, but most French still feel good about themselves.

The perception and awareness cannot change overnight, and the larger the country, the more stubborn it is in this respect, with self-confidence often accompanied by arrogance.

Moreover, the French only suffered economic losses, as their military forces were essentially intact. They remained the most fearsome man-eating beast in Europe.
