At this moment, Prime Minister of France Rufelli was in a dilemma. Abandoning the invasion of Tunisia could end the disputes with Italy and Spain, but it would make France's investments in Tunisia completely in vain.
Although France had only deployed about fifty thousand troops in this war, the costs incurred so far were by no means small.
The French Army suffered minimal casualties, but the resistance from the new Tunisian army also posed a slight challenge to the French.
If France launched a high-profile invasion of Tunisia and ultimately gained nothing, what would the French public think?
While the Italian public would angrily besiege the French Embassy, wouldn't the Parisian public also angrily besiege the French Government?
The Italian public could only threaten the safety of the French Embassy, whereas the Parisian public could threaten the safety of the French Cabinet.
