It is said that the French Workers' International and the British Labor Party, although both use the "brand" of workers, one represents the British bourgeoisie, and the other is a subordinate organization of the Communist International. Their fundamental positions are inconsistent, and the contradiction is greater than that of De Gaulle.

And Winston is bigger.Polygonum

British hypocrisy is very obvious at this time.

It doesn't matter to the British Empire whether you stand or not.

Many people describe themselves as having no bottom line and would sell their souls to the devil.

The British Empire is the devil.

Therefore, as long as they are in the name of national interests, there is nothing the British dare not do.

Queen Elizabeth can issue privateering licenses.

Neville could legally sell Sudetenland for the sake of peace for a generation.

We have done many things that went against the decisions of our ancestors, and when we arrived at Attlee, there was naturally no obstacle to our cooperation with the French Workers International.

Felix Guin doesn't think so.

Felix Gouin was a lawyer, participated in the First World War, served as a mayor, and was a member of the House of Representatives before the outbreak of the Second World War. He was a senior political veteran. His two identities, whether he was a Frenchman or the leader of the Workers' International Party, were

determined his attitude towards Britain.

Felix Guin has also been very troubled recently. The source of his troubles is not De Gaulle or Leonard, but a charity from southern Africa. This makes Felix Guin unable to figure it out anyway.

As a veteran in politics, Felix Guin is very familiar with charitable organizations. Even though these organizations have the word charity in their names, the things they do usually have nothing to do with charity.

The same goes for charities in southern Africa. The famous Rhodes Foundation also invests a lot in France every year. The University of Nyasaland offers dozens of admission places. Now there are a group of people in France who criticize the current ills all the time.

Everything about France is not pleasing to the eye, and they often wonder what would happen if it were placed in southern Africa. Most of these people have this background.

In Felix Guin's impression, charities are generally just like this.

What Felix Guin couldn't understand was the Felice Foundation.

Unlike the Rhodes Foundation, a charity that gives you candy and you have to check whether it is poisoned, what the Phyllis Foundation does in France is completely different from the charity in Felix Gouin's impression.

As early as before the outbreak of World War II, the Phyllis Foundation carried out frequent activities in France. At that time, the Phyllis Foundation looked different from other charities.

In an era when most charities want to publicize their good deeds, the Phyllis Foundation is very low-key. Many French people don’t even know that the Phyllis Foundation has a branch in France, let alone the Phyllis Foundation.

What does the Liz Foundation do on a daily basis?

Felix Guin also learned about the daily life of the Phyllis Foundation through the Workers' International, and then Felix Guin became interested in it.

The daily operations of the Rhodes Fund around the world usually have little to do with groups in need of charitable assistance. Most of the funds donated by philanthropists are used to buy the media and cultivate interest spokesmen, which are really used on the poor.

The proportion is very small, and even if there is, it is mostly for show.

The main service targets of the Phyllis Foundation are French World War I veterans.

This is not an invitation to gain fame or fortune, there is a reason for it, and it is very convincing.

The reason why the Phyllis Foundation focuses on the veteran group is that Roque served as commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force in World War I and was a high-level member of the Allied Forces. In theory, French veterans are also Roque's subordinates.

Phyllis and Roark are husband and wife.

Based on this calculation, it becomes logical for the Phyllis Fund to pay attention to the veterans group, and the French government is only grateful for this action.

Don't think that politicians are all stupid. They are very smart, at least smarter than most people. Most of the time they are wary of things like charitable funds, and they love and hate them.

What I love is money from charitable foundations, because most of politicians’ campaign funds come from “donations” from foundations.

The reason for hating is also money.Polygonium

Because the foundation never puts all its bets on one person.

Like the United Kingdom and the United States, the group of French veterans is also a scar that is extremely embarrassing for the French government. Like the United Kingdom and the United States, France suffered huge losses in World War I and did not properly resettle the group of veterans after the war.

The actions of the Phyllis Foundation have made up for the neglect of the French government to a certain extent and reduced the burden on the French government.

Under this premise, even though the purpose of the Phyllis Foundation is not simple, the French government has pinched its nose and admitted it.

It’s impossible not to admit it.

When the French government noticed the actions of the Phyllis Fund, the Phyllis Fund had already had a huge impact on the French veterans.

At this time, if the French government restricts the activities of Phyllis Fund in France.

That doesn't require the Phyllis Foundation's efforts at all. The ability of French veterans to cause trouble is no different from that of American veterans.

After the last world war, the Phyllis Foundation focused on veterans.

Now he has become a worker.

This is also advancing with the times.

When de Gaulle recruited the Free French Army in North Africa, he promised to give members of the Free French Army normal French rights after the war.

This commitment is beyond the capabilities of the Phyllis Foundation. Since the demands have changed, the groups served by the Phyllis Foundation have also changed.

During the fall of France, workers played a very important role. They often organized strikes and worked hard to fight for their rights.

Interestingly, after the Germans took over France, the number of strikes by French workers decreased significantly.

This is not because the Germans have stricter management methods, but because the Germans are better able to meet the demands of French workers.

Amazingly, the Germans actually treat French workers better than the French government. I don’t know who is being slapped in the face.

There is of course a reason for this.

After Germany took over France, many French private companies were directly expropriated, and private companies were instantly transformed into public companies. Without the exploitation of factory owners, the Germans got more profits, and the workers were also distributed more benefits. Everyone was happy.

After France was restored, the situation changed a lot. The Germans retreated, and the previous factory management was still arguing with the current French provisional government, so the workers were out of luck.

The attitude of the French provisional government is very clear.

Since the factories requisitioned by Germany served the Germans during the war, the situation is a bit complicated now. Should they be returned to the previous factory owners, or should they maintain the model during the German occupation and continue to be managed by the state?

There is almost no need to consider this, but everyone who is qualified to participate in this matter is inclined to continue to maintain it. The positions of the three French parliaments have never been so unanimous. Even Renard, who has the largest assets, has not clearly expressed opposition.

Leonard was not in a position to object.

Before the Franco-German War broke out, Leonard began to move the factory from France to North Africa. Therefore, during the Franco-German War, Leonard's assets not only did not suffer losses, but further increased. Now he is truly the richest man in France.

Now that he is the richest man, the value of his assets is just a number to Leonard. Now Leonard is pursuing something other than wealth.

Although the provisional government decided to maintain the status quo, after all, the name was not justified. Not all factory owners adopted a cooperative attitude with the Germans. Some were arrested because of their opposition and even left other countries.

The main controversy now focuses on this part.

If the ownership of the factory is not resolved, it will naturally be impossible to start operations.

The workers have no money left. If they don't work for a day, they have no income. The Workers' International, which represents the interests of workers, should come forward to solve this matter.

The Workers' International wants to solve the problem, but it lacks the ability. The key is that it has no money and no resources.

The Phyllis Foundation once again took the initiative to actively solve job problems for unemployed workers and at the same time provide warmth to all poor French groups. This greatly affected the Workers' International and its influence among the lower class people in France.

As mentioned before, the French are very realistic and will help anyone who benefits them.

The Workers' International talks very nicely every day, drawing big and round cakes, and the future is infinitely bright, but in reality there are no benefits at all, and the cakes painted cannot fill the stomach.

The jobs provided by the Phyllis Foundation are real. You work every day and get paid. Although the money is not much, it is still enough to support your family. Polygonum

A more serious problem is that the Felice Fund's services focus not only on workers, but also on all vulnerable groups in France.

As the name suggests, the Workers' International is an organization that represents the interests of workers and has nothing to do with other vulnerable groups.

French farmers, for example, are among the service targets of the Workers' International.

The Phyllis Foundation not only serves workers, but also includes farmers in France.

Don't think that since France is an industrial country, there are no farmers in its territory. In all countries, agriculture is the basis of stability and cannot be ignored.

France's agriculture is also very large, with Champagne as its representative. At least in this field, the Workers' International's influence is even a fraction of that of the Phyllis Foundation.

Regardless of whether the purpose of the foundation is simple or not, the supporters behind it must be rich people, and poor people cannot spend money to help others.

Therefore, the group represented behind the foundation highly overlaps with the group capable of consuming champagne.

Even in southern Africa, newspapers and magazines claim that Cape wine is as good as French Champagne in terms of quality and value.

In reality, wealthy people in southern Africa still prefer champagne when consuming wine. Wine is for making money, not for consumption.

During the war, the French economy was severely affected and there were problems with the sales of Champagne.

It's not that it can't be sold, it's that there is no champagne to sell at all, because all the champagne has been bought by the Germans at extremely low prices.

To say "buy" is to say that for vineyard owners in the Champagne region, it is almost like robbing.

The key point is that no one dares to resist. When the war broke out, the factory owners abandoned the factory and fled abroad. When will the war end and when will they come back?

All the vineyard owner's assets are on the ground and cannot be moved or moved. There is no way to escape but to wait and see.

Therefore, the interests of the people at the bottom are the most consistent with the interests of the country. Only when the country is strong can the people at the bottom live a better life. The rich can run away when there is a war, but the poor have no funds to run away.

It should be said that the interim government also wants to help the vineyard owners in the Champagne region solve the sales problem of Champagne.

But the world war has been going on for six years, and the assets of wealthy people all over the world have shrunk significantly——

No, the assets of wealthy people in southern Africa have not only not shrunk, but have further increased.

The interim government was unable to sell Champagne to Southern Africa because the Southern African federal government had restrictions on the import of Champagne in order to protect the interests of the Southern African wine industry.

The Phyllis Foundation is capable. They do not import it, but give it to the Phyllis Foundation in the name of donation. Although the federal government knows that it is a trick, it is legal and has no reason to stop it, nor does it want to stop it.

As for the reason why he doesn’t want to—

The federal government's restriction on the import of Champagne is a request of the southern African wine industry. The federal government complies with public opinion and everyone is happy.

Workers in the wine industry made a request, and the federal parliament voted to do so, and the procedure was legal.

The problem is that the people who vote by show of hands in parliaments at all levels of the federation are highly overlapping with the people who can afford to consume champagne.

Therefore, the champagne donated by French wine merchants to the Phyllis Foundation has become very popular in southern Africa.

After drinking the free champagne, it is reasonable to donate some money to the foundation. After all, it is all charity, taken from the people and used by the people.

As for how much to donate, it depends on your mood.

The mood here is highly consistent with the production of French Champagne.

They have secured workers and farmers, but this is not the end yet. The staff of the Phyllis Foundation have continued their efforts to expand services to all vulnerable groups in France.

We are all ordinary people. Who has not been affected by disasters? Even if France is a colonialist country, there are still poor people, homeless people, widowers and lonely people in the country. These are all vulnerable groups that are not paid attention to by the French government on a daily basis.

You can't blame French politicians for being snobbish. Politicians serve votes. Groups that are not qualified to provide votes are naturally not the target of politicians. It is normal for them to be ignored.

The Phyllis Foundation does not seek votes, and what it does actually does not cost much. It provides a dinner every day for people who have no money to eat. It does not need to be rich, as long as they do not starve to death.

When it snows in winter, providing a bed for the homeless without laying a bunk on the ground is enough to make many people in deep trouble feel grateful.

If you are given another cotton coat, even if it is not new, as long as it can protect you from the wind and rain, your level of gratitude will immediately rise to the level of a new parent. Only by experiencing it can you know how precious that light is in a difficult situation. Polygonum

This is what the Phyllis Foundation does, and the cost of doing it is actually very low. Many staff don't even get paid, and they work entirely on a voluntary basis.

But for the recipients, the warmth they receive is real. Compared with the pie painted by the Workers' International, it is as big as heaven and earth.

When Paris was first liberated, Felix Gouin was still confident and absolutely sure of seizing the leadership of France.

Now this confidence has become increasingly shaken.
