Four hundred and thirtieth chapters France does not face
Faced with Mussolini, who knew at first glance that he was here to carve up France and demand booty. To be honest, Reinhard felt that it was really difficult to deal with him.
It's not that he was not as thick-skinned as Mussolini, and he was even more disadvantaged in communication.
On the contrary, what Reinhardt, who considered himself the most thick-skinned in the world, was really worried about was whether Mussolini would be too thin-skinned and unable to face the current facts.
Judging from the fact that Reinhardt was planning the upcoming plan in private, at this moment, the Italians must not be allowed to offend France any further.
You said that if you defeated the French army, then I would be forgiven for sharing some of the spoils and some of the land with you.
But you, Italy, were defeated by more than less, and you simply lost the battle. If Germany had not signed an armistice agreement with France in time, Berante might have pushed all the way and invaded your Italian territory.
In this case, if Mussolini's request was defeated and the southern part of France was given to him, let's not talk about what the Vichy regime, which was driven to the south, would think.
It is estimated that even the ordinary French people would not be able to emotionally accept this outcome, allowing a trash who was completely abused by their own army to come and carve up their land.
Furthermore, if Italy carves up France too much, wouldn’t it mean that the victory created by the French national hero Berante becomes meaningless?
You must know that the reason why Pétain was able to send a well-known important figure like Berlant to Africa to establish overseas power under the nose of Germany would have been if Reinhardt had not turned a blind eye and chose to pretend.
I'm confused. I'm afraid that Petain's little calculation won't be that easy to implement.
Helping Vichy France develop oil fields in Algeria and allowing Pétain to send a famous general and three divisions of local troops to Algeria were all a huge trap planned by Reinhardt.
To rebuild the League of Nations and win World War II, Reinhardt had to use more power than the Third Reich in history.
Before the Battle of France, Reinhard chose to win over Norway, turning this former enemy of the Third Reich in historical time and space into a hardcore ally today.
For this reason, Reinhard gained more than just an ally. He also lost a large number of naval battleships less than in history, and he could have escaped the British and French expeditionary forces without letting go, further weakening Britain's original homeland defense.
strength.
And now, Reinhard's next ally that he wants to win over has also appeared.
That is Pétain's Vichy France, France's powerful navy, and the French colonial army with great potential under Berante!
It is conceivable that when the French navy, the fifth largest in the world, joins the German version of the Allies, the already incomplete British Home Fleet will almost have no chance of winning the English Channel Defense War.
And once the French Afrika Korps under Bérante chooses to cooperate with the German version of the Allies, the allies that Rommel can count on in Africa in the future will not only be the unreliable group of Italian allies, but also the famous general Bélange.
The unique French army.
You must know that no matter from which aspect, offending the seemingly decadent Vichy regime in order to satisfy Mussolini was contrary to Reinhardt's original wishes.
Although Reinhardt temporarily stabilized Japan, is France, which even Japan dares to bully, really the trash created by a powerful foreign power as they think?
If we simply look at the outcome of the German-French War in World War II, then we may be deceived by the French's wishful thinking.
In fact, France's overall strength during World War II was not weak, but it was too afraid of war, which led to repeated concessions to Germany and its inability to prepare for war.
You know, during the First World War, France went all out to fight Germany, and the whole country shared the same hatred. The battle of Verdun was fought with lives in order to avenge the Franco-Prussian War.
Although France also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Verdun, it eventually won the war.
But is such a victory worth it or not?
The French lost almost a generation of their young people, and wherever the war touched there was no grass growing.
For France at that time, the great revenge had been avenged, and what they wanted next was to live a peaceful life.
In addition, France suffered heavy losses in World War I. Basically a generation of young people died on the battlefield. The people were very painful about losing their loved ones. The whole country was generally war-weary. This led to France's domestic political instability. Therefore, both the French government and the French
People are unwilling to get involved in war anymore because the cost of war is too great.
But the French know very well that the German power has not been destroyed, but is only temporarily restrained. They will break out again at any time, and with the help of the United States and the Soviet Union, the French must find allies to ensure their own security.
After much deliberation, although France already has a group of weak country followers behind it, it is still better to find a big brother for safety.
As a result, France became closer to the superpowers of the time, Britain.
As for the United States secretly helping Germany, this is not groundless.
As early as the end of World War I, the United States abandoned the Treaty of Versailles and established the Washington System in order to strengthen its own strength. In particular, it forcibly matched itself with the United Kingdom in terms of the tonnage of naval ships.
Afterwards, the United States wisely did not strangle Germany, but provided loan support, allowing it to act as a spark on the European continent, which could ignite the European continent at any time.
The United States will not worry about Germany's spark affecting itself. It has made a large amount of loans to Germany and allowed its army and air force to develop. You can probably guess one or two reasons.
Even if Germany uses its army and air force to overturn Europe, if it does not have a powerful navy, what can Germany do to deal with the United States? Can it rely on their tanks to drive across the Atlantic and land on the east coast of the United States?
Countries secretly supported Germany, and after the defeat of the Ruhr World War I, France once again felt that it was wise to confront Germany head-on. So their attitude began to change and they began to build the Maginot Line using the secret of success in World War I.
It doesn't matter if I can't beat you, as long as you can't beat me. This is France's little calculation.
Unfortunately, the German army crossed the Maginot Line and directly cut the French army's retreat, destroying their main force, which led to the subsequent French surrender.
But did France actually lose?
Not so!
In fact, France was completely betting on two ends. On one side, the Pétain government followed the German Vichy French government, and on the other side, de Gaulle's Free French government followed the British.
In today's time and space, they have even created a third party, namely Berante's Algerian army.
So, no matter in the end of this war, who will win or lose, Britain or Germany?
France will be the victor!
Rather than saying that this country is too weak, it is better to say that they have not made up their mind to devote their maximum strength to face World War II...
