Yeah, you're definitely right, that would be concerning. French Menento's capital acts as a planet-fortress with a planetary shield and a network of defenses, fortifications, observation posts, decently-sized planet-based air, naval, logistics, and army basing facilities, but doesn't have much in the way of forces based there at the moment beyond a small planetary garrison. The UPD's move might prompt the Ministry of Defense to revisit and update mobilization plans against the UPD in the event of war or escalation, but that wouldn't be visible externally. Other than a few minor tweaks here and there, probably no action. On the diplomatic front, the French might let their Persan counterparts know about their concern, but reiterate that they trust them and so long as their common border remains free of forces, there's nothing to worry about.
