Chapter 430 The pain in my heart

"How dare they...!"

The moment Ribbentrop opened the door to Reinhard's office, he heard a violent roar from the Führer.

There was no one else in the office except Reinhard himself. In other words, Reinhard was talking to himself and getting angry for some reason.

Seeing Ribbentrop hurried in, Reinhard stopped his anger and quietly put the Far East information in his hand on his desk.

"What, what's the matter?" After all, he was no longer a young boy. Reinhard quickly put away the anger on his face and put on a smile.

Ribbentrop rushed into his office so impatiently without even knocking on the door. It could only be because the other party did have something important to report. Reinhard only needed to think about this for a moment.

clear.

"My Führer," Ribbentrop received the signal, and without any extra courtesy, he went straight to the point and reported: "Something big has happened! The international situation our country is facing now is unprecedentedly difficult!"

"Don't worry, let's talk step by step." Reinhardt was not as anxious as Ribbentrop. He waved his hand calmly: "No big deal, I'll challenge the whole world alone. It's not like I've never done this before."

"Huh?" Ribbentrop obviously didn't react at the moment to Reinhardt's joke about challenging the world.

"Nothing, just keep talking." Reinhard coughed twice and signaled Ribbentrop to get down to business.

"My head of state, De Gaulle, published a "Message to the French People" on British radio." Ribbentrop reported to Reinhardt very solemnly: "This is not a good start. De Gaulle is preparing to establish

A new French government!"

A very simple truth is that when there was only one French government in the world, the Vichy French government that cooperated with Reinhardt and others was qualified to represent the will of the entire French people internationally.

But once the second or third French government appears, the role of the Vichy government, which cooperates with Germany, will be weakened and it will become increasingly insignificant.

Let's take a famous example to illustrate. During the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China, Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes and support Emperor Xian of Han as the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the relationship between the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao was actually similar to the relationship between the French puppet government and Germany today.

Cao Cao gave the emperor a title of imperial court, which is similar to Germany giving France a foothold for the new government.

Today, Germany has left the low-industrial southern region of France to Pétain's Vichy regime as the basis for establishing a new government.

It seemed that Germany gave up the entire territory of France that could have been obtained, but in fact, Reinhardt's move was very strategic.

After all, France is a traditional European country with a rich history. If Germany fully occupied France and the French saw that the country was about to be subjugated, they would definitely stage a fight between trapped beasts. In the art of war, it is also important to surround three and lack one. If France is overly stimulated, even if it is

If the German army occupied all of France, they would pay a heavy price.

Furthermore, France, like the United Kingdom, is a country with very vast colonies. If Germany completely wipes out France, then France's colonies will definitely fall apart. Most of them will be taken over by the United States, Britain and other countries. This situation is not conducive to Germany.

On the contrary, if a Vichy puppet government is left, this will save the last face for the French. Not only will the resistance mood be reduced, but France's various war resources can also be mobilized.

The Vichy government was a government after all. It could manage France's huge colonial system and thus provide bases and supplies for Germany.

In fact, this situation is similar to when Cao Cao used Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to take over the Han Dynasty system and win over talents who were interested in the Han Dynasty.

Of course, the reason why Germany did not directly annex France was not only because it needed a buffer time, but also because of the influence of Charles de Gaulle's government-in-exile. With Pétain's Vichy France, it had an impact on Berlant, who went to Africa and took over the colonial army.

control effect.

Although Reinhard did not know the cordial relationship between Berante and Pétain, he understood that as long as Pétain was not a fool, he would definitely find a way to keep the colony in his own hands instead of leaving it to fate.

De Gaulle, who would follow Britain all the way to darkness.

However, de Gaulle wanted to form a new government after all.

Although this matter cannot be measured by the scarcity of things, the two French governments, especially the other one, are in opposition to themselves. This is something that the Third Reich should not sit idly by in any case.

During the Three Kingdoms period, didn't Cao Cao also actively eliminate Yuan Shu, who proclaimed himself emperor, to ensure that there was only one emperor in the world?

With Reinhard's shrewdness, how could he not understand how much influence the de Gaulle government would have on Germany's future international strategy.

However, Reinhard is not worried.

"De Gaulle's government will not be followed by the French." Reinhard smiled faintly and walked towards Ribbentrop.

"If I were a Frenchman, I would rather go to Africa and join their so-called famous general who defeated Italy, who seems to be named Berante."

Reinhard patted Ribbentrop on the shoulder and used an analogy: "One is a famous French general who has outstanding military exploits and was vigorously promoted by Pétain, and the other is an unknown French general who suddenly popped up. Which one is better?

Which one is more worthy of entrustment will be known at a glance."

"What's more, the British will soon do something that will chill the French friends. This is not a good thing for De Gaulle, who is dependent on the British..." Reinhardt said this in a tone of voice

, gradually getting colder.

"What?" Ribbentrop obviously didn't know about the British secret plan of "Operation Ballista" and asked with a puzzled face: "But the head of state, I heard that British Prime Minister Churchill sent an explicit telegram to the French Navy Commander yesterday.

Commander Admiral Darlan expressed his understanding. According to the feedback I have received, this move has won great favor from the French Navy."

In what year was this a joke that the British would understand the difficulties of the French navy?

Hearing this, Reinhard waved his hands with disdain and said: "It's just trying to hide it. People like Churchill who can say 'there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests' will always only consider the interests of their own country."

Having said this, Reinhard's eyes inadvertently drifted towards the Far East intelligence that he had kept on the table.

That was a pain that Reinhard couldn't tell anyone around him!

"The British are the most shameless and profit-seeking bastards in the world." Reinhard gritted his teeth and whispered sadly: "There is nothing that these selfish villains can't do!"
