As the situation continued to evolve, the division of interests among the allies had to be roughly settled as well, ensuring that no major conflicts arose over anyone's core interests.
Each ally had to be given a piece of the meat according to its strength, so as to stir everyone's enthusiasm. The power that could be brought forth through willing participation was entirely different from that of passive involvement.
There was no need to worry about the French position. So long as the British had not abandoned the Germans, France would remain Bulgaria's most steadfast ally. Defeating Germany was their foremost strategic objective at present.
As the party that had first dragged Britain into the war, France naturally had to suffer British blows. The endless waves of bombardment were the best proof of that.
Yet compared with the centuries-long hatred between Britain and France, adding this little bit of grievance seemed like nothing at all. The French had so many debts that one more did not weigh them down.
The French people were now striving with all their might. Being able to defeat their two greatest enemies at once was in line with the will of the people.
"Your Majesty, the French government has raised two demands. First, Britain and Germany must be broken up after the war. Second, they have set their sights on British colonies," Foreign Minister Coleman said.
"What territory do the French want?" Little Ferdinand asked with great concern.
Coleman replied, "The French have their eyes on many targets, all of them fine places—for example, India, South Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia, and other regions.
"However, although France has mentioned many places, they have not put forward any specific demands. It seems they are merely testing our attitude; their true target has yet to be determined."
