Summary

It implies that going to war without France is lacking an essential and emblematic element, just like going hunting without an accordion would be missing a crucial tool or musical accompaniment. It emphasizes the importance of France's involvement and contributions in military operations and suggests that their absence could be disadvantageous or incomplete.
