Chapter 643: The Navy reached an agreement

"We can help the French fleet." After coming in, Falkenhausen did not greet him, and immediately entered the topic.
Compared to the French, Germany knew about the actions of the British warship earlier, and the chance encounter between the submarine and the British fleet had already excited Berlin.
This is the best way to defeat the British fleet. At the same time, if this fleet is killed, the Mediterranean will become Germany's back garden. Therefore, they are already prepared.
It's just that you can't do it right now.
One of the most critical, of course, is the role of the French Navy.
If now, the German forces rushed forward and abolished the British navy, would the French navy thank itself? ?
This is not necessarily! At that time, people will still say, who will let the Germans take care of their business? Cyric is aware of these bad things about the Navy.
Therefore, it is necessary to let the French navy to request the German dispatch, so as to save face.
The French navy must accept Germany's favor so that it can come together with Germany.
Although this may delay the warplanes and even make the British navy abolish the French fleet, but for Germany, the loss is not great. After all, the French navy does not intend to take refuge in the German navy sincerely. , Maybe there will be a self-sinking event, but then the gain will not be worth the loss.
If the British were to let France go, the French navy would surely be filled with indignation and regard Britain as an enemy. The enemy's enemy is a friend!
Anyway, France still has many fleets, and the Port of Toulon also has a large number of warships.
It’s not bad to have sunk a few ships and let the French navy and the British navy turn against each other.
But, after all, there are still a few battleships there. So, after waiting for a long time, to see that France did not notify the German side, so Cyrick, who could not hold back, still instructed Falkenhausen to see the situation.
When Falkenhausen came in, feeling the smell of choking cigarettes in the room, he knew that these guys must have burnt their eyebrows. At this time, he didn't say anything, and directly made a friendly statement. , Germany, can help them!
"What is your request for help?" Darlang asked.
If it were to allow the French fleet to fully join the German fleet, he would definitely not agree to it. You must know that the British request now is to annex the French fleet, which triggered this war.
If Germany were to annex, it would be better to agree to the UK! After all, from a psychological point of view, it was given to the United Kingdom to be better.
"First of all, we hope that the French fleet can join us in attacking the British base in the Strait of Gibraltar and avenging the British attack." Falkenhausen said.
Just this sentence has already moved Darlang.
Not bad! revenge!
The French Navy is proud. It is a shame to be attacked by the British fleet this time!
In later generations, in this operation, the British overturned all French warships, so the French took the initiative to attack and shelled the British naval base of Gibraltar, which was regarded as revenge for this incident.
The sordidness of the British and French navies also began at this time. Since then, France has always been dissatisfied with the British navy, even after the war.
Since the British don't talk about love, why does the French navy look at the friendliness of past friends? The British navy should be beaten severely to let them know that the French navy is sacred and inviolable.
"This condition, we can promise." Darlang said, he glanced at Petain, only to see Petain nodding.
"Secondly, after this retaliatory action is completed, we will discuss the future of the French Navy." Falkenhausen continued. What is said now is the key point: "First of all, the French Navy can retain a certain fleet to protect France. Overseas colonies."
The French navy will not be annexed. They will still have a part. After all, there are a large number of colonies that need their navy to protect.
"Next, we need to hand over our designated warships. The French Navy must not sink and destroy the warships. It must ensure that the warships are delivered to the German Navy in a peaceful and complete manner. At the same time, we will not want these warships in vain. We can use these warships to offset them. Valuable war reparations can also be exchanged for French prisoners of war held during the war, but the released personnel shall not engage in the war against Germany again."
Britain directly wants French warships. To put it bluntly, it means annexation. For Germany, the means are much more subtle. These warships can offset war reparations. You know, this is an astronomical figure. Using warships to offset part of it can greatly reduce Their financial pressure.
At the same time, those prisoners of war can also use warships to offset their release. Among them, many generals are their colleagues. If they can be released back, it would be quite good.
Britain is aloof. The British parliament decides the fate of the French navy. This is simply too overbearing. On the German side, it will match a lot.
"Finally, our German navy hopes to be able to use the French naval base for supplies and rest, and related expenses will be paid by Germany or transferred from war reparations. At the same time, the French and German navies conduct joint exercises to strengthen cooperation and form a joint fleet."
When these conditions were opened, Darren knew that there seemed to be no possibility of rejection. Some warships would be given to the German navy, but the pressure on the country would be reduced. At the same time, the French navy would continue to be retained.
and many more! He suddenly remembered a question, and then immediately raised it: "Who controls the sea power of the Mediterranean?"
The geographical location determines the focus of the French Navy, which is the Mediterranean!
At the same time, there is also a German ally, Italy ~EbookFREE.me~, which has always hoped to occupy the Mediterranean. The main potential opponent of the French Navy is targeting Italy.
Now, who will dominate the Mediterranean? The French Navy is proud and does not want to become a vassal of Italy!
"The Mediterranean will be divided into two parts, the Western Mediterranean, and handed over to the French Navy." Falkenhausen said.
France is in the west. At the same time, the French colonies are also in the west. As long as the French navy controls the western Mediterranean, then France's interests can be guaranteed.
In this way, it is also very easy to balance. The Mediterranean is divided into two halves, the west belongs to France, and the east belongs to Italy. The two sides are in peace, and Germany can do its best to seize the sea power of the Atlantic.
Although the German navy did not directly occupy the Mediterranean, Germany can take off long-range bombers at any time in bases on both sides of the Mediterranean, and dominate the sea power of the Mediterranean. No matter how large a warship, it will tremble in front of bombers!
Finally, Darlan nodded: "This agreement is acceptable to the navy in principle. Please send out immediately to help us defeat the British navy."
