[So guess who's tired of pondering around, knitting and not really making any progress by now? Yes, this very nation here. But he remembered something...]

So... Nuclear weapons. What can you tell me about them? Just how powerful are they?

[And after a few moments of silence, France quickly looks away from the compact, combing his hand through his hair. Despite his attempts to look aloof, it's clear he's still on edge, as his words still have a biting, sharp tone to them, very uncharacteristic of his usual speech.]

Monsieur Truman though it best to use them, to finish the war as quickly as he could with a very powerful weapon. If the bombs had not been as brutally effective as they were, I am sure it would have ended poorly for the American government. I am sure demands would have been made to try the president and those responsible for the bomb's creation as war criminals. But that did not happen because Japan surrendered quickly.

[He pinches the bridge of his nose, a bit roughly, waiting another few moments before speaking.] I am not saying what Alfred's President did was right, or just. Our bosses are never perfect all of the time. Mais, what I am trying to say is that Amérique then went on to replace the League of Nations with the United Nations, and it is still standing some seventy years later.

[Surrendered months before. Yes. He has been aware that the war hasn't been going in his favor for some time now. But being told this diectly is still harsher than Germany would have expected.

America... How could he not hate him now? Him. His allies. Himself...

Sorry, France. But Germany will simply cut off the connection here.]

[France can tell he's going to cut off the connection before he does it. He knows by now not to expect a decent end to a call with Germany, but he doesn't want it to end so soon.]

Non, Allemagne, attends--

[But it's too late, Germany's gone. In anger, he throws his compact across the room, not caring when he hears it crack, and then in frustration and worry he begins pacing about the room. He's not pleased with how this conversation ended and he hates himself for letting it come to this.

He's going to stay in his room the rest of the day.]
