Carlos said, "The location of the Belgian Congo is actually very important. In Europe, it is equivalent to Luxembourg or Belgium. If a war breaks out between Germany and France, these two countries will be in a dangerous situation. It wouldn't be too much to say it's a strategic place of contention. Moreover, our relationship with Belgium is very good, so we must keep a constant eye on the Belgian Congo and transmit favorable intelligence to East Africa."

They are very clear-headed and almost never take sides between Germany and France, especially Belgium, where the population is divided into two major linguistic groups: German and French.
