Whether he could find the answer on the battlefield, George Blake didn't know the answer.

But since his teacher arranged for him to go to the battlefield, George Blake readily accepted this arrangement.

After all, the entire world has now fallen into war. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, no country in the world can really stay out of the war.

And in George Blake's view, if the war can be ended, or the war situation in the country where he is currently located can be changed, it may be a help to the poor and displaced people, and it can also bring some improvement to their lives.

With this idea in mind, George Black entered the battlefield together with the ideal young people in the mage group.

It is still unknown how much change this mage group can bring to this war. However, on the European battlefield, after the British withdrew hundreds of thousands of defeated troops from Calais, the war situation has begun to stabilize. The Western Front battlefield entered a strategic stalemate.

France had surrendered and the Germans occupied northern France, including Paris.

The French government that had surrendered moved south to southern France, took the remaining French territory into its hands, and began to integrate various resources and military production capabilities in southern France to serve the Germans as it did historically.

Of course, the surrender of the French government does not mean that the French people have also surrendered.

After France announced its surrender, a large number of French troops who were unwilling to surrender to the Germans withdrew from Calais along with the British.

Some French government officials and senior military officers who also did not want to surrender used British channels to flee to French overseas colonies and took control of these colonies. At the same time, they declared the surrendered French government an illegal government and the French people would not surrender. The struggle would still continue in the colonies.

Naturally, there was the famous General de Gaulle among them, but unlike history, he did not flee to Britain, but went to France's colonies in Africa, where he established the Free French Movement and called on the military and civilians to continue to resist the Germans. Invasion and domination.

But unlike De Gaulle, who had the support of the British in history, De Gaulle did not receive much support in the colonies.

Although some French soldiers obeyed his call and command, de Gaulle, who lacked logistical supplies and military expenditures, was unable to play a big role at all. Lacking guns and artillery, he could not even complete the reorganization of the French army that had fled to the colonies.

Of course the colony itself had a certain amount of fiscal revenue, but it was too late for local officials in the colony to make money, so how could they hand over local administrative and financial power to de Gaulle?

Even though de Gaulle held the barrel of a gun in his hand, the local officials in these colonies were not afraid of this before they broke up with him.

After all, even if the colony where de Gaulle is located fully supports him, there is no way to maintain the expenses of all the French soldiers under de Gaulle.

They only need to give de Gaulle some money at the appropriate time to stabilize him, or give other French officers who can lead the troops some money to win over, and they can stabilize the current situation in the colony without worrying about accidents at all.

This led to the fact that although de Gaulle still established the Free France as in history, and people came to defect to him, he had far fewer resources at his disposal. The establishment of the Free France was almost meaningless to France's resistance to German aggression. .

The role it played was not even as great as the resistance organization established in southern France after the Egyptian army swept through Italy and opened up the connection between northern Italy and southern France.

But for Chen Mo, he certainly would not let go of the ready-made signs of De Gaulle and Free France. People from the Egyptian intelligence and diplomatic departments had already contacted them and provided them with a sum of funds and supplies, which was considered as a way for De Gaulle to The Free France was finally able to function.

The British side is generally accepting of the current situation. Although France has been lost, the losses suffered by the British are not significant.

If you include the benefits gained from following Chen Mo in Italy, even during the war, the British made a small profit.

It's just that the current war situation in Europe is at a disadvantage, and the Germans are still launching large-scale air raids and bombings on Britain as they did in history. The Air Battle of Britain is going on in full swing as per its original historical trajectory, and the wolves of the German Navy are not idle. , causing the British mainland to still be in trouble.

But unlike in the past when it sought help from the Americans, Britain had Egypt as an ally to turn to for help this time.

And the most important thing is that Britain in this world is not as ill-prepared as it was in history.

Occupying the largest territory in the world at this time, Britain could draw blood from colonies around the world to aid its homeland.

With the ability to withstand the Germans, Britain did not trade colonies for warships with the Americans as it had in history, nor did it share some of the advanced technology in Britain's hands with the Americans. Instead, it chose Egypt.

In exchange for some of its African colonies, Britain received a large amount of "advanced" technology from Egypt, allowing Britain to deal with the threat posed by the Germans on its own.

Although Egypt, led by Chen Mo, cannot provide fifty destroyers to Britain at one time like the United States, high-performance sonar and depth bombs enable Britain to deal with Karl Dönitz's wolf pack on its own.

The design of the new propeller aircraft also allowed the British Air Force to achieve a pretty good exchange ratio even though it already had an advantage over the German Air Force.

Although after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, the Americans declared their participation in the war as in history and began to provide a large amount of material assistance to Britain and Europe. However, it was obvious that this time it was not a help in times of need but only icing on the cake. The Americans did not take the maximum benefit.

The aid supplies provided to the United Kingdom have indeed made the Americans a lot of money, but the economic benefits are not worth mentioning compared with the benefits that the United States could originally obtain.

But Americans in this world obviously don't know this. They themselves have focused their attention on the Pacific because of Japan's provocation. As for the Atlantic side, the United States has only provided material assistance.

As for the Americans' original plan to sell arms and provide military equipment assistance to Britain, they were rejected with contempt by the British.

Perhaps after World War II, the United States was synonymous with advanced technology, but at the beginning of World War II, the United States did not have any advanced technology. If it were not for the fact that during the war, Britain shared with it advanced technologies including proximity fuses, jets, radars, etc. in order to win over the United States. , the equipment level of the US military is probably still in the second echelon.
