Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 174: Cheers France

When the French woke up, they realized that the world had changed again, and the news in the newspapers and the radio made them ecstatic. ☆→☆→, since the beginning of the war, the repressed emotion has finally been vented at this moment.

The citizens rushed to the streets and sang songs and dances to celebrate the victory of the French army. Various social groups organized French citizens to express their love and respect to the great leader Marshal Betan in various ways.

The French nation seems to have regained their glory and pride overnight. The French are not incompetent cowards. Although they have suffered terrible failures before, it does not mean that some clowns can trample on the dignity of the Republic at will.

Petain’s approval rating has recently risen like a rocket. After some deliberate guidance and promotion, the French have spontaneously vowed to this great hero who has saved France twice and will obey everything he and the government he represents Order, because the facts have proved that everything he did is to save the country. He is a true patriot who can be respected. Only he can lead the French out of the predicament and let people see the future and hope again.

Of course, Petain will not waste this excellent opportunity. After discussing with Xu Jun, he decided to take the heat and make iron, and on the afternoon of the 24th, he will give a public speech to all French citizens. All the radio stations in the French actual control zone and the German occupation zone broadcast the speech live.

Betan announced to all the French that the French army had occupied Sardinia, and the French could tolerate the failure of the frontal battlefield but would never allow the villain robbed by fire to stabb in the back. Betan's sensational words made the French feel the sadness and excitement of the hero at this moment. The French stood up again from failure, just like those heroes in the classical Greek tragedy, with wounds from the battlefield. He climbed up and raised his arms again in order to maintain his dignity.

Betan then used a large section to accuse the real enemy of France, the vicious nation hiding on the island, they were like a poisonous dragon entrenched on the body of the giant Europa, they lived by licking the blood in the giant’s wound, they Conspiracy was spitting in his mouth. Their hearts are full of hatred against European countries. They can trample on all laws and contracts for their benefit. They even shoot poison arrows from behind from time to time to their allies who trust them, and the strongest and proudest is France. Nation.

This world war should not have happened. France can stay out of it and continue to enjoy peace and tranquillity, simply because the conspirators on the other side of the shore have deceived and bribed some stupid French politicians in order to maintain their hegemony, relying on a series of tricks and behind-the-scenes transactions. Almost pushed this generation of young French into the blood grinder again. It is the ultimate goal of the British to continue to weaken the power of Germany and France, so that they can meet each other and continue to benefit from the blood of Europe.

Betan's spear pointed directly at his predecessor, and he jumped up and down before and after the war, acting like a loyal English Harrier Paul Reynolds. He did use this discriminatory word, suggesting that the previous government was full of British running dogs. Now that the power of the Republic is back in the hands of the patriots, everything will be in the interests of the French, and the French will no longer be manipulated by those ambitious conspirators and international financial groups, and the blood of the young French will only For the benefit and glory of France.

Immediately afterwards, Betan's words changed again. He used emotional words to mourn those who died in this war. He said that those sacrifices would not be meaningless. Their death will give France a brighter future. He praised the brave French soldiers as heroes of the country, fearless warriors, who fought against more powerful and professional opponents, and maintained the dignity of France regardless of victory or defeat.

He read a letter written to him by the German head of state. The German warrior unabashedly expressed his admiration for the bravery of the French soldiers and the national integrity of the French people during the war. He expressed his condolences to the victims of the war to the French prime minister and expressed regret that Germany and France were caught in such a meaningless confrontation. Germany and France should not be enemies, and the conflict between the two sides can be resolved by political means.

The French were completely bewitched by the British government and the French media bought by them. They have been working to provoke the French hatred of Germany. Some problems left over by history could have been settled by the two great peoples and discussed, and eventually evolved into armed confrontation and mutual hatred. Obviously, there was an evil force behind them.

Germany is willing to unilaterally release their goodwill to the French government and people. The orderly release of the French soldiers who had been captured earlier began. The German head of state sincerely hopes that the two peoples will let go of their hatred and work together to defeat the real enemies hiding behind the scenes.

If the French are willing to understand, they will soon find that the Germans are not as evil as they know in the media and politicians. The German soldiers are also from ordinary farmers and workers. It also has its own life and joys and sorrows, not human-shaped beasts wearing iron boots as mentioned in the newspapers, much less like the bloodthirsty beasts with daggers in their arms that the British promoted.

Betan immediately released an explosive news. After consultations between the leaders of both sides, the final war agreement between France and Germany has been basically determined. The two sides are discussing to find an appropriate time to officially sign this document. For the French. The war with Germany is over and the captured French soldiers will soon be released to reunite with their families and enjoy the peace and stability they deserve.

At the same time he also announced that Germany will sign a comprehensive alliance treaty with France, France will become an ally of the German Third Reich, France will occupy a very important position in European affairs, and will also be eligible to participate in Europe and even Decision-making and formulation of the new world order.

Betten's speech stunned all the French people in front of the radio, and then the entire French mainland fell into an unreasonable carnival. The French feel that all their sufferings have finally paid off. Marshal Henry Philippe Betten is the new generation of Napoleon.

The compliment to the German head of state in Betten’s speech was gentle and just right, which allowed the French to feel the goodwill of Germany and Betten’s own attitude towards it. The charming German handsome guy and the old hero who rescued France twice, these two The endorsement of heavyweights, the French feel that they should indeed reflect on the previous understanding in their minds.

The final results satisfied the governments of both Germany and France. The French felt that they had regained their face, while the German aggressors were successfully whitewashed.

The speech of the French Prime Minister shocked the whole world. I don’t know how many politicians broke their glasses and scratched their heads for this. Who would have thought that the end of this war would have such a dramatic reversal. The French bottom line once again proved to be underestimated. Turning directly from top to bottom 180 degrees, the ferocious invader turned into a close ally overnight. People can't help feeling that the Europeans are terrible. They always thought that they would only step down if they couldn't perform, but they never thought they could modify the script themselves.

This speech was recorded in the annals of history as a historical moment to reverse the world situation. As a leader in changing the world, Petain appeared on the cover of the August issue of Time magazine, ahead of the handsome head of the German cover in September.

"This **** **** deceived me!" A silver-encrusted glass burned in the fifth century AD hit the wall with floral wallpaper, and this exquisite Roman Empire relic immediately followed its empire . Ignoring the blood-red wine dripping down the wall, Caesar of the new era waved his arms and gave a frightening roar.

"Ziano must have messed up things! Like everything he's done in the past. Thoroughly, completely, messed up!" Mussolini went back and forth on the wool carpet decorated with beautiful Mediterranean-style patterns Pacing, it made him feel like an animal in a cage.

The blue muscles on his forehead burst, his cheeks flushed, his eyes have lost the confidence and loneliness of the past, and he is full of worry and fear for the future.

"They can't treat me like this, von Sted can't treat me like this, he can't treat Germany's loyal allies like this." Mussolini muttered to himself, and then he stopped. Turn around and face his army chief of staff.

"Badoglio, we will launch a counterattack and immediately formulate an action plan to recapture Sardinia. We will launch a counterattack, even if the Germans are not on our side, Italy will fight this war on its own."

"My leader, we need to accumulate more troops. The problem is that we have insufficient reserves. The current Army recommendation is that it is best to find a diplomatic way to solve this problem."

"You mean that the Italian Army did not have the confidence to win this war? The descendants of the Roman Empire had no courage to recover the territory they had captured by the enemy?" Mussolini frowned and stared at the Chief of Staff of the Landing Army.

"Most of our troops are confined to the front of the Alps, and 20 divisions are being reorganized in accordance with your orders in the south. At present, only two infantry divisions can be mobilized around Rome. These soldiers lack relevant training and weapons Insufficient. We initially estimate that we need at least ten infantry divisions, and at the same time need to obtain the full cooperation of the Navy and the Air Force. In order to re-land Sardinia and recapture the lost ground from the French. However, the problem is that our current troops have not completed their professionalism They have not been familiar with the use of special landing equipment and weapons, and it will take time to transfer these troops to the west of the peninsula."

"The Italian people won't give you that much time. They have begun to attack the government. The consequences of the incompetence of the army and the air force are pushed to my head. These cowards without bones are not worthy of the descendants of the Romans. And claiming to be." Mussolini walked to the window and habitually embraced his arms. He looked through the gap in the blinds on the Trajan cylinder opposite the Venice square.

"I'm going to call the blond kid personally. He must recognize the responsibility of Germany in the Steel Covenant. He must bind the French, let them withdraw from Italian territory, and make compensation to Italy." Mussolini looked up His big chin said.

"Hitler personally promised me that after France's surrender, Italy will receive Nice, Corsica, Djibouti, Tunisia and the southern coastal cities of France. Now that the time has come for the Germans to keep their promises, the blond kid must fulfill his predecessor The agreement made. In order to show Italy's sincerity, I will show tolerance and restraint against the brutal provocation of the French, and Italy will also reserve the right to retaliate."

At this time, a staff aide pushed the door open and rushed in. He panicked a salute to Mussolini, then placed a telegram on the prime minister's gorgeous desk.

"What's the matter?" Mussolini walked to the desk in doubt and picked up the telegram, then frowned, and his face became abnormally ugly.

"Damn blond kid, he and his predecessor are all the same thing. They never think about asking Italy's opinion, they will only come up with some facts after the fact that I am forced to accept. They can humiliate me again and again, Why can't I be allowed to do this once, why?!" Mussolini threw the telegram on the table.

The Italian armed forces approached the Chief of Staff carefully, and he glanced at the content of the telegram.

"My God." Badogrio widened his eyes in surprise.

There was only a short sentence in the telegram. The German Command had just issued a notice that the German naval fleet had won a glorious victory in the Mediterranean, and the island of Malta is now completely occupied by the Germans.
