As early as 13 May, the 30th Infantry Division, which had completed the Norwegian campaign, had completed its refurbishment and was stationed in Düsseldorf via Braunschweig as a reserve for Army Group A.

Now, in the early hours of 15 May, the 30th Division, under the command of its division commander Hans, was on its way to take over the line left by the 14th Panzer Corps in the Abwehr sector.

The 14th Panzer Corps, on the other hand, joined the armored cluster that divided the Anglo-French forces and launched a surprise attack in the direction of England.

On the same day, the commander-in-chief of the three-nation coalition forces, who discovered the crisis, reported to French Prime Minister Paul Reynaud the current situation of the coalition army's retreat being cut off, bluntly saying that he was powerless to save the situation on his own, and asked Relo to immediately ask Britain to send more Royal Air Force to take back the right to charge the Allied forces in the encirclement from the Luftwaffe.

In the early morning of May 16, Churchill, who had just taken over the post of prime minister from Chamberlain, flew to Paris early to meet with Prime Minister Lelo's government office.

It's ironic. A few months earlier, Churchill, then British Admiralty-Chancellor, had made a special visit to Gunmalin and asked him to provide an army for the invasion of Norway.

At that time, Gammelin had set up a stand to leave Churchill aside for hours because of a small meeting of no importance.

But now, in order to welcome Churchill from afar, Gunmalin, who was counting on Britain to send more Royal Air Force, made a special trip to postpone the imminent discussion meeting on the counterattack against Germany and waited for Churchill's arrival in advance.

At a time when the Germans had broken through the important French fortress city of Sedan and advanced another 60 miles to the west, a conference for a counterattack was a matter of great urgency. The military conference at this time was far more important than the peacetime military conference he had Churchillgan wait for.

However, it was this more important meeting that was pushed away by Gammelin.

Five months apart, it was the same meeting with Churchill, and the always proud Gammelin had undergone such a dramatic change. I have to say, this is a naked irony!

"General Gammelin," said Churchill smugly as soon as he stepped into Gammelin's office, "I remember the last time I was here, I waited for hours for you to meet you. I didn't expect that this time, I didn't even arrive and you would have to wait. ”

Nor was Churchill a selfless gentleman who held no grudges. He's just a fat man who looks like meat, who says that a fat man must be honest and honest? Sometimes the fat man remembers the grudge, maybe he can remember it for a lifetime.

Coincidentally, Churchill was such a stingy fat man.

"Dear Mr. Churchill," Prime Minister Renault, who was on the sidelines, hurriedly said to the mud, "Admiral Ganmalin has postponed an important meeting to discuss the counterattack plan in order to talk to you in time. I believe that from this point it is enough to see the sincerity of General Gammelin. ”

"Sincerity?" Churchill mocked as if he were a villain: "The last time I came here, I didn't see that General Gammel was such a sincere man. Why, could it be that the discussion meeting a few months ago was more important than today's counterattack meeting, so I had to be left to wait stupidly. ”

Seeing Churchill in front of him, Renault couldn't believe that this dead fat man could get into the position of Prime Minister of the British Empire. This amount of energy is really different from his predecessor Chamberlain.

At such a critical juncture, sneering at the generals of the allied countries and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces like salt on the wounds is not at all what a mature national leader should be.

Originally, when a person with a narrow temperament like Gan Malin became the commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, he had already refreshed Renault's three views on the upper echelons. As a result, Churchill, who was in a higher position, was unexpectedly even more calculating. Could it be that whoever has less gas in these years will mix better and have a higher position?

Fortunately, Renault did not understand Reinhardt, the Führer of Germany. Otherwise, he will understand how far a national leader can go if he really doesn't have to be stingy!

"The coalition forces are at an existential crisis, and the British Prime Minister's words that have been just complaining are a bit out of place." As the object of Churchill's sarcasm, Gammelin crossed his hands in front of his chest and said coldly.

Having been in the upper echelons of the British Empire for many years, Churchill also had a profound understanding of words and feelings.

At this moment, he deduced from Gan Molin's actions that the other party had been completely enraged by himself, and had a vague tendency to have a seizure.

Ganmarin crossed his hands in front of his chest, a typical defensive gesture. Churchill's observations over many years in politics suggest that when people do this, they are erecting a barrier between themselves and others.

Although the specific meaning of the crossed arms will vary depending on the specific event, the common characteristics they express are clear: psychological rejection, denial, and defensiveness.

Specifically, Churchill also noticed that while his arms were crossed, his hands were accompanied by a fist-clenching motion. At this point, it can be judged that Ganmalin has become hostile. If he, Churchill, continues to attack Ganmalin with words, it is very likely that he will be met with an agitated counterattack from Ganmalin.

Thinking of this, Churchill silently sighed in his heart.

In fact, he didn't really just want to vent his evil anger, and he had to take revenge on Gan Molin here. While it did make him happy to do so, it wasn't the reason for his behavior.

The reason why Churchill really stimulated Gamarin was to test whether the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces could calm down and stabilize his position under special circumstances. If he can't even endure a few words of Churchill's verbal stimulation, then in the current crisis, how can people rest assured that he can calmly command the army out of a desperate situation.

Unfortunately, Churchill's reaction disappointed Churchill. Although this is an allied general, he is inconvenient to say more. However, from the bottom of his heart, Churchill looked down on the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

But Churchill is different from Gammelin in that he can hide his inner emotions and choose the right emotions to express.

Putting on a smiling face, Churchill smiled and retreated: "I'm sorry, but I was too narrow-minded, and I apologize to Commander Ganmalin for the provocation just now." ”

Hearing Churchill step back to his steps, Gan Molin's face softened a lot, and his clenched fist also loosened.

"It's okay, let's talk about something important as soon as possible." Gan Malin said with relief.

Churchill watched the other party's every move. And at this moment, he no longer had any expectations for the ability of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
