A man in a military uniform standing in a room with other people

Imagine General Joseph Gallieni, dressed in his distinctive military uniform, standing in the center of an ornate assembly in France. The walls of the room are adorned with portraits of past dignitaries and opulent drapery. Large windows let in soft light, illuminating the general's face. Autour de lui, un groupe de militaires, Politicians and nobility listen attentively to him, some nodding their heads in agreement, d'autres prenant des notes. The atmosphere is serious, soulignant l'importance de la discussion en cours. Aucun texte sur l'image, Please.
