Chapter 632: French surrender

In fact, in history, Germany has the title of Imperial Marshal, but it is only a special case. It is the honorary title specifically given to Goering by Hitler. Yes, it is more of an honor, indicating that Goering is a higher class than others. .
However, Cyrek is not tailor-made for someone now. It is a higher honor, and obtaining it will require very high credit, prestige, and seniority, and neither is indispensable.
Just like the carrot in front of the donkey, this glory is in front of the eyes of the generals, inspiring them to continue fighting for the empire, and it is precisely under this idea that Cyric has not become a marshal now.
After all, there are still many battles to be fought in the future. The Battle of France is over, there is also the Battle of Britain, and there is a big bear waiting to be taught, and these honors need to be used to continue to inspire the generals to continue to pursue.
Don't look at it now to Marshal Rondstedt, he has come to an end. This imperial marshal will belong to Guderian and Rommel in the future. They are the real pillars of Germany.
In addition to high-level generals, there are lower-level officers, and even ordinary soldiers, who will be rewarded for their bravery in combat! Cyric intends to award more than 20,000 of the Iron Cross in the plan.
Many soldiers deserve their honor, and the Iron Cross Medal is the most important one. It represents the glory of the German soldiers. Almost every one is in exchange for their lives.
While Cyric was still discussing the details of the award, an adjutant came in hastily and said: "Führer, good news, the French, officially surrendered to us!"
Suddenly, everyone stood up. Of course they knew what it meant. The proud French finally surrendered to Germany. This is a great moment worth remembering!
"Kettel, you represent our Germany to attend this surrender ceremony." Cyrek said: "The place of surrender is in a train carriage in the Compiègne Forest."
When Cyric said this, everyone’s attitude was solemn. This place was very impressive to all Germans, because this was the surrender of Germany to the Allies at the end of the First World War. , The same place where the armistice agreement was signed!
France, finally surrendered!
When Renault took his men and moved to the capital again, he no longer had any hope. Looking around, there was no possibility of a comeback in France.
In this situation, Renault was finally discouraged. Could it be that France's future is only a way to surrender?
Without seeing the future, Renault compromised. Although he already knew the future, he still did not have the courage to face it. He chose to retreat. Renault resigned as prime minister and left France sadly. The country where the soul almost disappeared.
After Renault resigned as prime minister, President Albert Le Brun appointed Petain to form a cabinet.
After Petain took over the power of France, he immediately made the choice of surrender.
France can't fight anymore. At this time, to end the war in a decent way, France still has half of the country left!
After releasing the signal of surrender to Germany, the German side really responded quickly, so Petain sent plenipotentiary Charlie Huntsger to sign the armistice agreement with German General Keitel.
At the beginning, when the First World War ended, France proposed a harsh armistice agreement with Germany, requiring the German government to have only one hundred thousand troops and disarm the navy and air force. The agreement at that time was almost the fuse of World War II.
But now, Feng Shui turns, it is France's turn to surrender. Of course, Germany will not give France comfortable conditions.
"First of all, the first condition is that the French army will be completely disarmed and the weapons will be handed over to Germany for safekeeping." Facing the French on the opposite side, Keitel felt that this task was really great.
He likes to see the other person's expression very much. The expression of being strong but having to undress and pose himself gives Germany a good sense of conquest.
In the past, Germany was defeated and retained one hundred thousand armies, but now that France is defeated, all French troops cannot be retained!
Charlie on the other side frowned and said nothing.
"Second, France will be divided into two parts: the northern area, which occupies about 3/5 of French territory and the coast of the Bay of Biscay, which is our current control area, will be directly occupied by our German forces, and France will have to bear all the expenses of the occupying forces. The southern and western regions are ruled by the government of Marshal Petain."
Now, Germany has conquered more than half of France. Of course, these territories are directly ruled by Germany. It is the land plowed by German soldiers with their swords. How can it be returned to France!
As for the unoccupied areas, leave them to Petain. At least half of the country will be preserved. It's better than losing them all!
"General Keitel, these conditions on your side are too harsh." Finally, Charlie couldn't help saying: "After the First World War, the treaty we signed was not so harsh."
After all, after World War I, France left Germany with a hundred thousand army, and almost all German territory was preserved, only a small piece was lost.
When Keitel heard this, his face changed: "If you don't surrender in good faith, then forget it. At this time, our soldiers are gearing up and preparing to continue fighting. In three days, we will be able to fight with the Italian army. When the time comes, France will not have to surrender."
Keitel's words are a threat to Chi Guoguo, but they are meaningful enough to be realized.
From the perspective of France, these conditions proposed by Germany are of course excessive, but from the perspective of Germany, accepting France's surrender this time is already giving them face.
France does not surrender, and within a few days, France will also be destroyed. In fact, when Paris is occupied, it means that France has been destroyed. Now Germany does this out of good intentions.
"We need to ask the Prime Minister for instructions on your conditions." Charlie finally said.
Although he is the plenipotentiary and came to sign the agreement, he dared not agree to such harsh conditions, and he should leave it to Marshal Petain to decide.
When Marshal Petain received these agreements ~EbookFREE.me~ didn't say much, he just stared at the sky in the distance.
"This is a kind of temper that God has given us. We France, if we want to exist, we can only endure everything now." Petain said.
Petain agreed. He had no choice. At least, France was not completely occupied. France still owns half of the country, right? He endured the humiliation and agreed to these conditions for the future of France.
He firmly believes in his choice.
On June 3, 1939, on this train skin, General Keitel used his pen to represent Germany and signed his name on the letter of acceptance.
The two sides exchanged an agreement, and this great historical moment was frozen in front of the camera lens.
France, with a population of 50 million and known as the "number one army power", persisted for less than 20 days before it was defeated and became a defeated country!
This surrender agreement spread all over the world, and instantly the French people fell into grief.
