The Third Reich in Desperation

"Flyer? What flyer!" De Gaulle interrupted his subordinate roughly, squinting his eyes and snorting coldly.

He could actually see that these so-called Free French government officials who moved their capital to the Isle of Man after him had long thought of surrendering, but he absolutely could not agree with this kind of thinking.

Others may still have a way to survive if they surrender, but if he surrenders, there will only be a dead end waiting for him.The Vichy government can publicly announce the death sentence for itself.

"They said in the leaflets that the French don't fight the French. Let's turn our backs to the light..." The man in the suit said something unpleasant again.

Abandoning darkness and turning to light, who is the dark and who is the light?

Doesn't this just make it clear that all the officers and soldiers of his own will turn against him, leave him as the leader de Gaulle, and go to Pétain's Vichy government?

"Damn it! This is the trick of the Pétain puppet government. They want to separate us and disintegrate our will to resist!" Of course, de Gaulle did not recognize this logic, and immediately became furious: "Notify my guard company and let them capture the enemy leaflets, and arrest those who spread the rumors at the same time!"

He continued to wave his fists and encouraged loudly: "Surrender is not allowed, we must resist to the end. Let the three armies guard against death, and drive all the enemies who try to land back into the Irish Sea! We have sea water to rely on, and the enemy wants to land absolutely. not easy!"

However, after listening to de Gaulle's encouragement, the man in the suit not only did not have the slightest excitement, but was more pessimistic.

Irish River?At that time, the British had an army of hundreds of thousands, relying on the English Channel for defense, and the British had a large Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.But in the end, in the end, he was not beaten so badly that he could only surrender.

Although he wanted to say a thousand things in his heart, the man still followed de Gaulle's instructions on the surface: "Okay, general. I will arrange the personnel in the government to cooperate with your guard company to collect the enemy's leaflets." .”

"Well, very good." Seeing that the other party was very interesting, De Gaulle's mood changed a little bit, and he even promised: "As long as you can handle this matter well, I will promote you to the French government's foreign minister later!"

Hearing De Gaulle's promise, the man smiled wryly.Not to mention the Minister of Foreign Affairs, even if he is appointed as the Minister of Defense, even if he is appointed as the Prime Minister, what is the point of a senior official whose regime is about to be destroyed?

"Okay, let's go." After de Gaulle made the promise of "high official and generous salary", he waved his hand and began to think about his more important things.

Immediately, before the future "Free French Foreign Minister" walked out of the office door, de Gaulle, who was sitting on a chair, eagerly grabbed the phone: "Hello, I'm de Gaulle. Get me the call from the three legions Commander, I want to arrange a combat mission!"

The commanders of the three major armies that de Gaulle talked about, in fact, only have a strength of about one reinforced battalion to command.After all, the Free French Army currently stationed on the Isle of Man consists of only the First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army, an Alpine Army detachment, and Charles de Gaulle's guard company.

This force is not even enough for Admiral Wei Gang's Vichy French army to bite the teeth.If it weren't for being across the Irish River, such an exiled army would have been wiped out by the three-nation coalition forces that invaded the British mainland.

Next, de Gaulle hastily explained a few words similar to stepping up coastal defense, guarding against enemy landings, and guarding against the laxness of the officers and soldiers, and then gave the best performance of a corps commander who will be promoted to the future French government's defense department. Minister's promise.

After that, de Gaulle had nothing to say, so he hung up the phone and stared at the whole map of the Isle of Man hanging in his office in a daze.

His three armies, which only had the size of a reinforced battalion, were compactly arranged along the east side of the Isle of Man.After all, although the British government on the island of Ireland in the west surrendered, it would not do such a thankless thing as attacking Free France.

What really needs to be guarded against is the Allied forces on the island of Great Britain to the east.

In the west of the Isle of Man, there are three key cities: Castleton, Ramsey, and the capital Douglas.Each of these three strategically important towns deployed a legion on average.Douglas, as the capital, also deployed Charles de Gaulle's guard company and a reserve team called the Alpine Army Unit.

"Please wait for 10 minutes, refresh immediately"

Body 704 Fourth British government

While the French government merged into one, the British government inexplicably continued to separate. There was the Belfast government of Ireland, except for Gort as the prime minister, the London government of England as the prime minister, Mosley as the prime minister, and Scotland as the prime minister. Outside Edinburgh, the newly born fourth British government!

This government, similar to the previous Free French government-in-exile, is also a so-called "independent regime" established on the land of other countries.This is the new British government formed with the help of the US government after Randolph Churchill, the son of Churchill, fled to the United States.

However, compared to de Gaulle, Randolph's methods are too immature.

First of all, his so-called British government has no independence at all. It is just a puppet government of the Americans, a card in their hands.

For the rich American government, it is actually a very easy thing to spend some money to equip Randolph with a government building and arrange for Americans to be officials of the British government.

Under the leadership of General Marshall, the chief of staff of the army appointed by Roosevelt himself, the US government easily drafted an agreement that was completely beneficial to itself, and it was recognized by Randolph's British government.

According to this agreement, the British army of the Randolph government belongs to the Foreign Legion in the US army and does not have its own country and independence. It only retains the name of a British government and gives the United States an excuse to send troops to Europe in the future.

Such an agreement that completely turned the Randolph government into a puppet was signed with ease.It has to be said that Randolph was simply one of the most controlled British agents the U.S. government had ever encountered.

Of course, Marshall, who made this kind of agreement, can be regarded as a very monstrous existence.Relying on his hand, he fully utilized the role of Randolph Churchill who traveled across the ocean, and it can be said that the value of Randolph was squeezed to the extreme.

Being able to make such an agreement is enough to prove Marshall's talent and cunning.

Speaking of which, Marshall can be regarded as a legend in the US military.

He entered the Virginia Military Academy in the United States when he was under 17 years old.Unlike the famous United States Military Academy at West Point, graduates of the Virginia Military Academy are not guaranteed to become officers of the United States Army after graduation.In other words, Marshall did not actually come from a so-called prestigious school.

But through his own efforts, Marshall just graduated with the 8th place in the school.Even his but the dean of the school said with emotion, "If Marshall can be appointed as an army officer, he will definitely rise to the top, far surpassing the general graduates of West Point, a super famous school in the US military academy."

In fact, what Marshall experienced in the first half of his life was completely a standard genius flow plot.

After graduating, he successfully obtained the rank of second lieutenant. When he was selected into the Fort Leavenworth refresher class in 1906, the other trainees were all officers above captain, but he was the only second lieutenant.In later generations, this is enough to be experienced by the protagonist of a standard fantasy novel.

And after that year, Marshall was qualified for further study by ranking first.

It's a pity that at that time, there were very few opportunities for promotion in the American army, so Marshall was only promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant, and he carried this rank until he was 36 years old.

During this period, he served as an officer for 14 years, served in 14 different US troops, went to the Philippines twice, and entered the National Guard twice, but he just couldn't follow up.

In contrast to the promotion path, no matter which unit he served in, Marshall was praised by his superiors.

Therefore, the superiors praised Marshall as a genius who was willing to endure hardships, proficient in the art of war, and resourceful, but he was still a lieutenant in the end.

If this is not like the life experience that the protagonist of a fantasy novel should have, then the following plot is simply the best template for the protagonist's experience in all novels.

Marshall's superior, General Hagood, wrote in his 1916 report on officer competence: "Marshall deserves to be appointed brigadier general in the regular army. A day's delay in appointment is a day's loss to the army and the country!"

That's right, he was gifted with extraordinary talent since he was a child. He studied and tempered in a college that was not the most famous, and then graduated with excellent grades.The competitors around him were all competitors of a higher level than him, but he defeated them perfectly.After that, he was praised by his superiors no matter where he was.And also received great praise from the general, giving a super high evaluation.

But the fact is that the U.S. Commission for the Promotion of Officers only appointed Marshall as a captain after seeing Hagood's super high evaluation.

If God is a writer, Marshall is one of his heroes.That's a very clever way of writing.

Let everyone say that this person is very powerful, with various reputations and praises, but Marshall's level does not rise to the sky in one step, but is promoted slowly, and after each promotion level, he is shocked by various surprises in his new position. For genius.

That's not all.During the First World War, Marshall was appointed as a staff officer with the rank of temporary lieutenant colonel, participated in a big drama, and performed very well. Because of his outstanding performance in the front line, he was promoted to a temporary colonel.

But then, for the development of the plot, God canceled his temporary lieutenant colonel and put him back in the position of captain.

But it seems that in order to please the judges, God gave Marshall a small promotion and made him a major, which is a kind of compensation for canceling the rank of temporary colonel.

Then, Marshall was arranged to serve as an instructor at a military academy in China, and after a good performance in front of a group of students, he was slowly promoted to lieutenant colonel.
