There is no need to endure any longer. This time, Macron chose to use the posture of "a brave man with a broken wrist" to tell the United States, Britain and Australia that France is not a good bully.
On October 29, three unusual news came from the West, about the feud between France and the United States, Britain and Australia, which was indeed very lively.
First of all, let's talk about the first thing, the conflict between Britain and France has escalated in an all-round way, and the trade war is on the verge of breaking out.
In order to avoid lengthy articles, the specific details will not be said more. In short, after France seized a British fishing boat, Macron denounced Britain for "rebelling", and Britain said that it would not stop there, Britain and France went to a sword fight, and no one would let anyone.
Counting, there are at least 3 points to watch that are worth noting.
1, the seizure of British fishing vessels is the beginning, and next, France will also sue the British captain and further retaliate against the British. France told Britain that this time, it was ready to speak with strength, which was the only way Britain could understand communication.
If Britain continues to be tough, on November 2, France will announce specific measures to "sanction Britain," which could include banning British fishing boats from entering some French ports, banning all British seafood exports to France, inspecting French vans bound for Britain, or even cutting off Electricity supply to Jersey.
In short, France's sanctions against the United Kingdom are starting from the two major areas of energy and trade, which is equivalent to hitting the weakness of the United Kingdom, because the United Kingdom is facing an energy and supply chain crisis.
What's more, EU members are all supportive of France, and waiting for the outcome of the UK once the conflict escalates is likely to be worse. In the end, the price of coal, natural gas and electricity in the United Kingdom is soaring, and the problem of short supply of goods has not been solved.
2, France is very tough, but the British are also not easy to mess with. The British fishing boat seized by France happens to be Scotland's, and after Brexit, Scotland is already on fire, and every three or five minutes it has to make an "independence referendum".
France's doing so obviously adds fuel to the fire, and if Johnson takes the initiative to give in, he will inevitably face verbal criticism.
On the 28th, Britain summoned the French ambassador to the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom protested and was dissatisfied with France's "seizure of British fishing boats". On the 29th, the British Foreign Office forcefully shouted to France that it must explain "why it is strong against Britain" that it must be explained.
Britain told France that its actions violated previous agreements and were also inconsistent with international law, and that Britain was considering how to retaliate against France.
On the 29th, Germany said that it called on Britain and France to sit down and talk. But in reality, Germany and most of the EU members are supporting France.
Johnson is now very embarrassed, put his heart across, where is the United Kingdom is an OPPONENT of the European Union, not to mention the number of troubles facing the United Kingdom is uncountable, at this time and France completely fell out, is tantamount to asking for trouble. Take the initiative to compromise, the British people and Scotland are staring at London, and when the British face is gone, he is still the British prime minister?
3, in order not to let Britain and France go to a full-scale confrontation, Macron left Johnson with the opportunity to borrow the slope to get off the donkey. Macron said France did not want to provoke Britain or escalate the situation, and as long as Britain complied with the agreement, everything was negotiable.
You have to know, the G20 meeting is underway, and macron will have to meet with Johnson next, if France does not give the British face at all, will it not be very awkward to meet?
There are growing indications that Macron's sudden move is not unprovoked, because the United States and Australia are also targeted.
On the 29th, Biden and Macron met in Italy, which was the first meeting between the French and American presidents since the "United States and Britain took advantage of the fire and robbery against Australia".
The meeting took place at the French Embassy in Italy, and Biden said that there is no better ally for the United States than France, and that the United States was clumsy in signing the submarine agreement with Australia, which led to France losing billions of dollars in orders, and the White House should have communicated with France in advance.
Biden stressed that the United States deeply regrets this matter.
Macron stressed that the most important thing for both sides is to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future.
Soon, the news of "Biden's public apology" caused an uproar in France. The French media believes that this is another concession signal released to France after the United States "admits its mistake".
Of course, judging from the results, the United States, which believes that "talking about money hurts feelings", is still the biggest winner, but Biden chose to give France a face so that Macron can give the French people an explanation.
But either way, Macron got the results he wanted.
Let's talk about the third thing, Macron "humiliated" Australia.
When France announced that Macron would meet with Biden and Johnson, there was no news about "Macron meeting Morrison", which was considered one of the signals that France "hated" Australia.
Australian Foreign Minister Payne said Canberra was awaiting a response on "whether Macron will meet with Morrison".
On the 28th, before Morrison was preparing to rush to Italy for the G20 meeting, Macron had called Morrison. Macron denounced Morrison for "undermining trust between France and Australia", called on Australia to "take practical action to repair Franco-Australian relations", and criticized Australia for not restricting coal production and use, which is completely without the appearance of "trying to cope with global climate change".
It can be seen that Macron's attitude towards Britain and Australia is much tougher than that of the United States.
Australia, which has always been invincible, has been so low-voiced in front of France, and it has been fiercely humiliated, which is indeed lamentable.
As for how Macron will make next moves, how the good drama will be staged, it will be seen and wait.
