Chapter 635 French Warship

Just like when the Treaty of Versailles was signed, the whole of Germany fell into great grief. Now, when the traitor Pétain signed the agreement to humiliate the country, the entire French people also fell into great grief.

During the First World War, Marshal Pétain was a hero of France, but now, Pétain's reputation is not as loud as it is, and more French people have not yet figured out why France failed and why did it surrender?

In later generations, Petain also became a big traitor and a traitor, but no one realized this. Britain, which insisted on the war of resistance, weakened sharply after World War II, and the Soviet Union, which insisted on the war of resistance, was beaten half of the country, and France, however, did not suffer much.

(There is a sentence in the book review area that is quite correct, Fatty Qiu won World War II and lost the empire.)

All the buildings in France are kept in good condition, and it is not a mess left to de Gaulle. Otherwise, during the Cold War, where did De Gaulle come from and the Americans challenged.

For France, surrender was a more beneficial option.

In a few years, when the people on the French soil felt that their living standards had risen to a higher level, their resistance became less severe. The Germans did not regard themselves as rulers, but really France has raised the living standards of the entire European people by a level, especially those workers at the bottom!

At the same time, a big Europe was really established.

These are all things to come later, at least for now, the surrender of France is the major news these days.

"If we stand up against Germany, the whole of Europe will be liberated, and the whole world will be able to go out into the broad fields of sunshine. But if we fail, the whole world, including the United States, including the countries with which we are familiar and concerned, will be plunged into The abyss of a new dark age."

In his congressional speech, Churchill spoke to the whole country righteously, and the whole world made this prediction. He hoped that France would not surrender and continue to resist, but at the same time, he also knew that his speech was useless. .

For the United Kingdom, the next step is to prepare for the war of resistance on the mainland. The next goal of the Germans is the United Kingdom!

"Our lobbying in the Soviet Union failed." Immediately after Churchill heard that France had surrendered, he delivered a speech to Congress, raising his spirits and preparing for the German attack. He returned to the Prime Minister's Office, where he received It's all bad news.

Even if India is abandoned, the Soviet Union must send troops, as long as the Soviet Union does not covet those British colonies in the Middle East, which are more important to Britain.

However, after leaving with such sincerity, he came back with a look of embarrassment.

Aiden reports to Churchill on the trip to the Soviets.

Originally, it went well. The Soviets agreed to the conditions and were ready to start an attack on the Brest fortress. At this time, Finland, which was not long-sighted, actually had a conflict with the Soviet Union!

Continuing to smoke a cigar, Churchill thought silently.

Obviously, this conflict between Finland and the Soviet Union is behind the Germans, and the whole incident is full of conspiracy!

"We can remind the Soviets that this incident may be operated by the Germans, so they don't get fooled!" Churchill said: "This shows that the Germans are afraid. As long as the Soviet Union pushes forward, it can directly attack the empty eastern Germany. area!"

Churchill quickly reacted, how to turn the current unfavorable situation into his own advantage? Of course, it is to continue to agitate the Soviets. Don't look at Finland, what is Finland? It's the right way to fight Germany!

Aiden sighed and said: "At that time, I said the same thing, but the Soviets have already started to gather troops to the Finnish border and are ready to attack Finland. They said that it will only take half a month to fight. After Finland, play Germany."

half a month? The Soviets, really thought they were as brave as the Germans? Moreover, the border areas between Finland and the Soviet Union are all mountainous areas, or in other words, the whole of Finland is almost a mountainous area. How can the Soviets fight?

In half a month, many things can be changed. For example, the Germans may have finished their repairs and are ready to land in the UK across the sea! I also hope that the Soviets are in the east and can relieve some of the pressure on their own side!

"It seems that the Soviets can't count on it for the time being." Taking back his thoughts, he forgot the cigar in his hand just now, and it went out. He lit the cigar again and continued: "For the Soviet Union, let it go first. On the one hand, for now, we are mainly dealing with the surrender of France, we can't wait any longer, we have to tow back the French warships."

The British navy has been crippled. They have long been eyeing the warships of the French navy. Now, France has surrendered. The Germans demand that France cannot retain the army. Therefore, those French warships are useless. If you give it to the Germans, you might as well give it to the UK!

Churchill has been paying attention to this matter. Originally, Prime Minister Renault had already agreed to move the French fleet to the UK, but Prime Minister Renault had resigned!

Churchill had a good relationship with Reynolds, and with Petain, it just didn't meet each other's eyes.

"Secretly contacted Pétain and asked him to give a secret order to let those warships move to our UK." Churchill continued, then he paused and added: "If he doesn't agree, then we will use force. , even if it is to rob, we must snatch those warships back!"

"What if I can't get it back?" a general asked.

"Then sink all those warships!" Churchill said: "Even if they are all sunk, they cannot be left to the Germans!"

Churchill was determined.

Even if there is a slight chance, one must make 100% efforts, especially, those warships in the port of the French colony are quite sure.

French colony!

As an old capitalist country, France has also caught up with the original great seafaring movement. France is the second largest colonial empire after the British Empire.

For now, France's colony area is 12.347 million square kilometers. If France is also included, it will reach 12.898 million square kilometers, accounting for 8.6% of the world's total land area.

Moreover, for geographical reasons, a large part of the French colonies were in Africa. For example, in Algeria, a large number of French warships were docked.

These warships must obey the British Empire!
