Chapter 633: French warship

Just as after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the whole of Germany was in great grief. Now, when the traitor Petain signed the agreement of bereavement and humiliation, the entire French people are also in great grief.
During World War I, Marshal Petain was a hero of France, but now, Petain's reputation is not as loud as that, and more French people have not figured out why France failed and why surrendered?
In later generations, Petain also became a traitor and a traitor. However, no one realized this. The United Kingdom, which persisted in the war of resistance, had a sharp decline in national power after World War II, and the Soviet Union, which persisted in the war of resistance, was maimed. France did not suffer much.
(There is a sentence in the book review area that is correct. Fatty Qiu won World War II and lost the empire.)
All the buildings in France are kept in good condition. It is not a mess left to de Gaulle. Otherwise, during the Cold War, where did the capital of de Gaulle compete with the Americans.
For France, surrender is a more beneficial choice.
In a few years, when the people of France feel that their standard of living has risen to a higher level, the feelings of resistance will no longer be so heavy. The Germans are not superior as the rulers, but really France has raised the living standards of the entire European people by one level, especially the workers at the bottom!
At the same time, a big Europe was truly established.
These are all things to do. At least for now, the surrender of France is the major news of the past few days.
"If we bravely defend against Germany, the whole of Europe will be liberated, and the whole world will be able to embark on a vast and sunny wilderness. But if we fail, the whole world, including the United States, including the countries we are familiar with and care about, will fall into The abyss of a new dark age."
In his speech to Congress, Churchill was righteous to the whole country. 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 on the mainland. The next goal of the Germans is Britain!
"Our lobbying in the Soviet Union failed." After Churchill heard of France's surrender, he immediately delivered a speech in Congress. After he was excited and prepared to meet the German attack, he returned to the Prime Minister's Office. All the news is bad.
Even if it is to abandon India, the Soviet Union must send troops, as long as the Soviet Union does not covet the British colonies in the Middle East, which are more important to Britain.
However, he left with such sincerity, but returned with embarrassment.
Aiden reported the Soviet trip to Churchill.
It had already gone well. The Soviets agreed to the conditions and were ready to launch an attack on the Brest Fortress. At this time, Finland, not long-sighted, actually clashed with the Soviet Union!
Continuing to smoke his cigar, Churchill was thinking silently.
Obviously, behind this conflict between Finland and the Soviet Union, the Germans were playing ghosts. The whole incident was full of conspiracy!
"We can remind the Soviets that the Germans may be behind this incident, so they should not be fooled!" Churchill said: "This shows that the Germans are scared. As long as the Soviets rush, they can go straight to the empty eastern part of Germany. area!"
Churchill quickly realized how to turn the current unfavorable situation into his own advantage? Of course, continue to agitate the Soviets. Don't look at Finland. What is Finland? Playing in Germany is the right way!
Aiden sighed and said, "At the time, I said the same thing, but the Soviets have already begun to gather troops on the Finnish border and are ready to fight Finland. They said that it will only take half a month to fight. After Finland, we will fight Germany again."
Half a month? The Soviets, really think they are as brave as the Germans? Moreover, all the border areas between Finland and the Soviet Union are mountainous, or the entire Finland is almost a mountainous land. How did the Soviets fight it?
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 in the east can relieve some of their pressure!
"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 actually went out. He lit the cigar again and continued: "Soviet affairs, first put it away. On one side, now, we are still mainly dealing with the surrender of France. We can't wait any longer. We must tow the French warships back."
The British navy has been maimed. They have long been eyeing the French navy ships. Now, France has surrendered. The Germans demanded that France cannot keep the army. Therefore, the French warships are useless instead of being cheaper. For the Germans, it is better to give it to the UK!
Churchill has been paying attention to this matter. Originally, Prime Minister Renault had agreed to move the French fleet to Britain, but Prime Minister Renault had resigned!
The relationship between Churchill and Renault is pretty good, and Petain, it has always been wrong.
"We secretly contacted Petain and asked him to give a secret order to let those warships move to our UK." Churchill continued, and then he paused and added: "If he does not agree, then we will use strong , Even if it is robbing, take those warships back!"
"If you can't get it back?" a general asked.
"Then sink all those warships!" Churchill said: "Even if they are sunk~EbookFREE.me~, they cannot be left to the Germans!"
Churchill was determined.
Even if there is a chance, we must make 100% efforts. Especially, those warships in the port of the French colony are quite sure.
French colony!
As a veteran capitalist country, France has also caught up with the original maritime movement. France is the second largest colonial empire after the British Empire.
For now, France’s colony area of ​​12.347 million square kilometers, if the French mainland is also included, amounts to 12.898 million square kilometers, accounting for 8.6% of the world's total land area.
Moreover, geographical reasons have led to a large part of France's colonies in Africa. For example, in Algeria, a large number of French warships were docked.
These warships must obey the British Empire!
