Chapter 624: Petan Wants to Surrender

A duplicitous person like Fromm deserves nothing to die, but someone like Rommel should not be implicated. Cyric thought of the experience of Rommel in later generations, and he sighed endlessly.

To say that he is completely innocent, it is not. After all, Rommel was drawn by his men, but he did not agree, nor did he report it.

There are only two options for this kind of rebellion, either join or report, and stand firmly in one of the camps. Otherwise, after the incident, any successful party will not let him go.

If the rebellion succeeds, he will be investigated for why he didn't do it together in the first place. If the rebellion fails, the government will investigate why he didn't know what he knew.

It's a pity that Rommel, who was just a straight-line soldier, died in this conspiracy. Although he was buried in a glorious way, it was also a tragedy.

Now, Cyric, will not let such a tragedy happen, Rommel, an excellent soldier of the Empire, should use his expertise!

In this incident, a large number of officers were purged, and those who had second thoughts about themselves were killed. Then, a promotion was carried out. Those who have made military achievements in this battle should be promoted!

After this promotion, the National Defense Forces will completely fall under their control. Every general who leads the army is promoted by himself. substantially weakened.

This is a series of plans. I really thank Baker for giving myself such a chance!

Just when Cyric was lamenting the stupidity of Baker and others, in Tours, the Renault government officials who had been relocated here in a hurry were arguing fiercely over the fate of France.

"The German army is too strong, and now, we can't defeat them." The heroic Marshal Pétain, the main fighting faction of the First World War, was always saying discouragement at this time: "Everyone, can't you see it? ? We have no future."

Just when they had just relocated to Tours, news of the Berlin rebellion came, and everyone was excited, even Petain.

However, soon, in one day, Berlin changed its flag again, and their hopes were lost. At the same time, it can be seen how powerful Cyric is in controlling the country. He tried to imagine a coup in Germany and the moderates came to power. is impossible.

In all fairness, Petain became a surrenderer in World War II, not because he was a traitor, but because the situation at the time forced him. If the French army could be as strong as the German army, how could he surrender?

Look again, after he surrendered, what effect did it have on France?

The French army suffered less than 500,000 casualties, and most of the young and middle-aged people remained, and the big cities in France were not devastated by the war.

Looking at other countries, the UK was almost blown to rubble, and the Soviet Union, when World War II ended, the entire west was smashed to rubble.

Although he chose to surrender, Pétain saved France, and would not lose an entire generation of young people like in the First World War. From this perspective, Pétain is credited to France.

Unfortunately, de Gaulle didn't think so, and neither did Churchill.

And now, Petain is still quite influential in France, and his words are also very marketable.

As soon as Petain's voice fell, Pierre continued: "Yes, now, we no longer have any ability to defeat each other militarily, how to end this war decently and maintain the blood of France is the most important thing. of."

Wei Gang stayed in a corner and didn't speak. He already knew very well that his troops, even if they were several times more numerous than the Germans, would not be able to achieve victory, let alone now.

The French army no longer has that capability.

"We should appeal to Germany for an armistice and keep half of France." Pétain continued: "We still have a large number of colonies, but outside of France, we have no need to continue fighting, and within the mainland our defeat is Obviously, so all that's left is to try to make a decent peace."

Pétain was also helpless at this time: "The revival of France cannot be achieved through military victory, but should be the result of the suffering of the motherland and its descendants. The armistice is not a punishment for defeat, but a new beginning. A necessary condition to ensure the eternal existence of immortal France." No one spoke in the conference room, and when Pétain said these words, he felt very disappointed, so he also shut up.

France still has a lot of colonies, so what's the use? France still has half of the country, and seeking peace now can guarantee the continued existence of France. As for the future of France, leave it to the future generations. Their generation is destined to suffer.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, it's not good." At this moment, a voice came in hastily: "Our Maginot line of defense was broken through by the Germans!"

The Maginot Line was originally the main line of defense against the German army. It was the hard work of the French over the years. Unfortunately, it did not work. The Germans came from Belgium and the Netherlands.

And when the Germans annihilated the northern French army, some advanced to Paris, and some went towards the Maginot line. This time, they came from the rear of the line.

Therefore, the army guarding the defense line has no possibility of holding it at all, and it is only a matter of time before the defense line is broken through.

Another problem is that when the Maginot line is breached, Tour is not safe.

Looking at the people present, Prime Minister Reynolds only said one sentence: "Let's go to Bordeaux."

After only two days in Tours, the French government is about to move the capital again!

"Humph." Petain made this sound from his nose, and then left, until now, Prime Minister Renault can't face reality!

Renault was the last to leave. He looked at the empty conference room. His heart was also empty. Could it be that there is really only one way to go?

"Mr. Prime Minister." At this moment, a person walked in. It was the British ambassador who moved the capital with them. At this time, he said to Renault in an urgent voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, there is one thing, please You make an immediate decision."

"What's the matter?" Renault asked.

"Please give an order that your fleet immediately pull anchor and set sail for England." The British ambassador continued: "Anyway, the French navy cannot stay and be taken over by the Germans. This is an agreement we have reached before. ."
