The Third Reich in Desperation

Weygand thought that his heart had declined, and it was impossible for him to take on the important task of leading the future revival of France.However, he doesn't mind going to witness the growth of the new generation of French star Berente.

"Admiral Darlan's fleet has been scattered in the southern port and the North African colonies." Pétain obviously had full trust in his student Berente and Admiral Darlan.

"He controls 80 well-trained modern warships and well-trained naval forces, and Admiral Darlan has been committed to the construction of the French Navy all year round, from various aspects such as regulations, technical equipment, treatment of officers and soldiers, commander training, etc. Both have made indelible achievements. Our navy, under his dedicated ten years, is more efficient than it has been at any time since the French Revolution."

In advance of Darlan, Pétain praised without hesitation: "It can be said that, to a certain extent, Darlan is our French Tirpitz. In our navy, every warship and every sailor is Absolutely loyal to him is not accidental!"

Tirpitz, the famous father of the German Navy.Today, when the German High Seas Fleet defeated the British Home Fleet and became famous, Pétain put Darlan in the same position as Tirpitz in his evaluation, which shows how much he trusts him.

"Darlan's navy, Berente's army," Wei Gang clenched his fists and waved violently: "With Algeria's oil fields, they can continue to fight. In this way, we will have another army." Enough power, a power that everyone has to pay attention to!"

Needless to say, Darlan's navy is one of the world's top five naval forces, and no one dares to underestimate it.And Berente, the three divisions he led to the south, has already organized an emergency strong luck with the help of Darlan.

Under the transport of a huge French fleet, they just followed Berente and defeated Italy. The morale was high, and the officers and men of these three divisions who were loyal to Berente will become the armed team of Berente as the governor of Algeria and go to France. Among the African colonies, Algeria is the closest to the southern mainland and has just discovered a large number of oil fields.

There, Belante will receive 11 colonial troops including local security forces and indigenous troops.In other words, Berente will have an army force of 15.

Because of its proximity to the southern part of France, Petain could even privately send a large amount of obsolete equipment to Berente.

With this batch of equipment, it is not difficult for Berente to recruit another 30 indigenous troops in Algeria.

And this final 45 army, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, can completely wait and see from the other side, choose the appropriate reality, and use it as the capital for negotiations between France and other countries in the world to join future disputes.

They are the hope of French revival!

.........

At noon on June 6.

A French general named Charles de Gaulle, who had been unsuccessful before, bid farewell to General Spears, a British ally, at the airport.

Because in the First Battle of Ruhr, Colonel de Gaulle did not listen to the dissuasion of Master Siddell at that time, and acted arbitrarily, which led to the defeat of the Franco-Belgian coalition in the first battle, until it was defeated.

Therefore, after he returned to China, he has not been reused.

At this time, when de Gaulle shook hands with his British friend to say goodbye, and the plane was about to take off slowly, he suddenly and nimbly jumped onto the gangway of the plane, got into the cabin of the plane, and closed the door with a "bang".

Finally, the plane flew into the blue sky and vacated.The people at the airport were shocked, but there was nothing they could do.

Unlike Berente, who went to the French colonies, General de Gaulle, who has been unsuccessful in the country, is going to change his thinking and complete his idea of ​​​​reviving France.

He decided to flee France, not just leaving the mainland!

He wants to flee abroad completely, reorganize his forces, and build a force that belongs to him, de Gaulle!

Main text Chapter 423 Ballista Operation (third time, five changes every day)

The news of the signing of the peace treaty between France and Germany quickly spread to the United Kingdom, causing the British high-level officials to quickly hold an ad hoc discussion meeting to deal with the surrender of the French army and the various impacts on the United Kingdom after the surrender.

In the meeting room, there was a dead silence.

The British generals were very annoyed by the news of France's betrayal of Britain on the one hand, but they were helpless on the other.

With this kind of emotion, no one can be happy.

One of the vice admirals couldn't sit still, he said excitedly: "We can't just sit and wait for death, we should act, dispatch the navy immediately, and teach those self-righteous French a lesson!"

The vice admiral of the British navy burst into blue veins, and angrily beat the table and roared: "If they hand over the French navy to the Germans, and they join forces to deal with our British navy, then our British will be finished!"

An older military officer said calmly: "The current situation in the British Empire can be described as hanging by a thread. The government officials, regardless of the country's safety, forced the navy to fight under the strong demands of the people. The high-level navy is about to be unable to withstand the pressure. I think we should also go out and attack the French navy."

"Although today's home fleet is not an opponent of the German navy, I think it is no problem to deal with the French who have just been defeated, not to mention that they are only docked in the military port and lack of security."

It can be seen that although the officer's tone is calm, he is still the main combat faction, and he still hopes that the Royal Navy can attack and teach the French a lesson.

Churchill also participated in this meeting. He also heard the conversation of the generals on the side, and at the same time he was thinking in his heart.

Similarly, he also agreed with the words of the previous two generals. Since the German navy can't beat it, it should attack the French navy, because this is the only chance for the British.

Of course, if you can't even beat the French navy, the British Empire won't have to struggle anymore, but the country will be wide open. Wouldn't it be over if you hand over Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

Most of the people present actually agreed with the plan to attack the French navy very much, because this is indeed the best opportunity for the British navy.

Once the French warship falls into the hands of the Germans, the end of the British Isles will really come.

But now, Churchill couldn't speak casually.

Because under his leadership, the British Navy almost lost all their wealth, so it is completely thankless for him to order which side to support now.

The side he supports may not necessarily appreciate it, while the side he opposes will definitely be ridiculed.

So Churchill felt that he should be a man like Jesus, just listen and never speak.

Churchill was now struggling deeply in his heart. He wanted to express his point of view, but he didn't dare to speak.

After all, he had slapped his face and commanded too many times before. It can be said that he has lost the basic trust of the Royal Navy.

But in all fairness, he can't be blamed entirely.

If you want to blame, you can only blame his opponent for being too strong.

After all, the all-knowing and all-powerful head of state has traveled from the future. He understands Churchill's various naval deployments, and of course he will lose again and again until he loses to the bottom.

And Churchill, of course, knew nothing about it.

Sure enough, Churchill was right to keep silent.

Before Churchill could speak, there was a voice of opposition. A senior general in the navy frowned and said worriedly: "We just suffered in the naval battle between Narvik and the North Sea. After the loss of the German High Seas Fleet, I think it is extremely unwise to attack a neutral French navy now!

"In case our sneak attack fails and we push the French navy to Germany's side, the French navy and the German navy will come together to deal with us. Let me ask everyone here, what should we do then?" the old general asked road.

"But who knows if France really wants to maintain naval neutrality? In case this is a trick played by Reinhardt and the French navy, in the end we really suffered a dumb loss, after we were pushed to the ground by the French and German navies We only know what regret is when there is friction." A younger major general retorted coldly.

Another vice admiral also joined in the argument: "This is indeed a problem. Even if the French navy really only wants to remain neutral now, it is hard to guarantee that they will not fall to Germany because of changes in the situation one day in the future. navy."

Gradually, the admirals began to discuss in a hurry.

Indeed, they still need to carefully consider whether to attack the French navy. After all, this is not a play, but a major event that affects the whole body.

"That old fox of Petain betrayed France, betrayed his title of savior of France, and stood on the side of the Germans. I have to say that he did give us a huge problem for Britain. Especially the trick of retaining the French navy , he feels better, but this is completely driving us to a dead end in the UK."

It was a Churchill aide in a suit who said this.In his eyes, everyone should put the interests of the British Empire first.It was unacceptable for Pétain to retain the navy for the benefit of France, thereby harming the interests of Britain.

Another minister also nodded and said: "Under the leadership of Petain, France has indeed escaped from the suffering of the war, but Petain left the problem to us in Britain. This is an act of injustice. I think we should give They have a little bit of color to see."
