@@@@@@@@@

Churchill came quickly, and Yue Peng, who had not closed his eyes for two days, arrived in Paris with Attlee and a large number of other military and political officials before he could lean on the pillow. After receiving a call from the French Foreign Ministry, he immediately put on his military uniform and rushed to the Foreign Ministry. Since there were refugees preparing to leave along the way, the driver had to keep honking his horn, and when he finally arrived, he found that the place was even more chaotic. Smoke billowed from the entire compound, flames of burning confidential documents everywhere, and the panicked officials even pushed the files into the brazier with small carts.

This scene made Zeng Qi and Gu Yu feel desolate, the dignified first army power in Europe, was so panicked that the enemy was still 100 kilometers away and burned pieces to prepare to retreat, which shows that the French have no confidence to fight! Even Yue Peng sighed in his heart and picked up a map fragment. On the fragments, the word Maginot is very clear. It's a pity that this ring-shaped fortress defense system, which claims to be the most complete in the world, has not fired a single shell so far.

Yue Peng had just thrown the fragments into the brazier when footsteps sounded behind him. Turning his head, Churchill walked in with a cigar in his mouth, a cane in his hand, and a friendly smile. Next to him, the French prime minister was like a marionette, muttering to himself as if he had lost his soul: "We are defeated, we are defeated." ”

Although Churchill tried to appear relaxed and fearless, the sight around him made the strongman stiffen. It can be seen that this frustration of the French made him very surprised and dissatisfied. "Yue Peng, of the Chinese National Defense Forces, has met Mr. Prime Minister." Yue Peng hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello. Seeing him, Churchill woke up like a dream, shook hands and asked bluntly: "I am glad that the General can come to Paris at our most difficult moment." Can you tell me a little bit about the current situation? What are your thoughts on the next game? ”

"Me?"

Yue Peng was surprised that Churchill would first ask him what he thought of the battle situation. "Does he want to knock on the side?" Gu Yu and Zeng Qi also frowned beside them, this completely violated the relationship between the base! You know, China, France and Britain have not yet formed an alliance. Don't ask the French, but ask the chief of the general staff who happened to be at the meeting, isn't this a fate of the wood? They knew that Churchill was already sick and rushed to the hospital. When you see the French incinerating machine requirements, it is clear that they have no self-confidence. Besides, in any case, Yue Peng is also a world-famous general, chief of the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and he has an army under his command that has defeated the Soviet Union and completed an unprecedented encirclement. So in his opinion, it is more reliable than the French.

Changed in the past. French officials must have been embarrassed, but no one had the heart to talk about this terrible war right now. Seeing that no one was talking, Yue Peng also walked to the conference room and told Churchill what he knew: "The situation is relatively bad, on a front of about 50 kilometers in the Ardennes Heights. The Germans had already routed the line of the 9th Army. A large number of German tanks were advancing towards Amiens and Arras. Their goal was clear: to run to the sea to cut off the rear of the main Belgian forces, or to attack Paris directly. The greater threat lies behind the Panzers, and there are about eight to ten fully motorized German infantry divisions that are rapidly advancing along the assault route of the Panzer forces, and if they are not stopped as quickly as possible, I cannot predict what will happen. ”

The crowd listened quietly, and no one interjected. It wasn't until he finished talking that Churchill continued to ask: "Where are the reserves?" Yue Peng didn't expect him to have this problem too. Shaking his head with a wry smile: "Marshal Petain told me that they have no reserves. ”

This answer made Churchill stumble and almost fall under his feet. I scolded France all over and down in my heart: "There are no reserves? There are no reserves in France? Damn French mongrels, I knew it was like this. How good is it to watch the fire from the other side after Norway sank the German Navy? Without warships, could the Germans still land in a bathtub? It's bad now, how can the 11 divisions of the expeditionary force be withdrawn? He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of how to deceive the French to bring his troops back safely, so he could only give up for the time being and continue to ask: "Then is there any good way for the general?" ”

Yue Peng didn't know that Churchill was already pondering a retreat. In fact, he already had some eyebrows in his heart, but he promised Yang Qiu not to make a move. So after thinking about it, he replied: "Retreat, before the Germans are completely united, withdraw all the northern armies, including the Belgian troops, to the south." Abandon Paris and lay out a second line of defense along the Vare. ”

Churchill nodded his head again and again when he heard this, but in his heart he was very dissatisfied with Yue Peng's passive defense.

This level is not as good as yourself!

Probably really tired of seeing the depression of France, Churchill immediately threw Yue Peng's suggestion out of his mind when he entered the meeting, rushed to the map and shouted firmly: "Counteroffensive, we should counterattack, strategic counteroffensive." We will never retreat, we will never surrender! The breakthrough of the Maas line of defense by the enemy was serious, but not fatal. Things may be bad, but by no means irretrievable. Last time (referring to the European competition), there were many breakthroughs here, but we withstood them all. Even in 1914, when the German army was only 20 kilometers from Paris, didn't we withstand it? Moreover, we have resisted by launching a counterattack on one or both sides of the enemy's protrusion. So the infantry should be hit hard with the outstanding armored units, and sacrifices should be exchanged for the opportunity for a counteroffensive! ”

Churchill shouted in front, but Yue Peng scratched his head below. This old man, fighting the armored forces as a salient in the European war, is really "high-minded"!

Probably because Churchill's words were so touching, Gammel jumped up again as if he had been injected, and organized a counteroffensive plan on the spot. Of course, he did not forget to ask Britain to send more planes, after all, the French air force was already empty. But this request hit Churchill's tail! The British have always had a habit of keeping a hand, and even though China had delivered 700 converted bombers and fighters, and 60 Turkish air squadrons were basking in the sun in London, he was still reluctant to send planes to help. In the end, he actually licked his face and said that Britain was under a lot of pressure and needed to protect the British island from landing the German navy, so there were no planes to send.

Marshal Petain was angry on the spot, the Luftwaffe had all been thrown into the French battlefield, and even the strength to eat milk was used, how could there be any effort to care about you or Great Britain? So the idea is completely self-serving! Do you have to watch France finish before you Britain are happy?

In the end, it is good to say that Churchill agreed to go back and fight for it for fear of affecting unity, and would send at least 10 additional squadrons to participate in the counteroffensive.

was accused by the judge in person, Churchill's old face was also a little unbearable, and immediately pulled Albert, Renault and Yue Peng. took Attlee and the others to hide in the small conference room next to them to discuss the matter of Su Dezhi's secret agreement. Although there have been many failures in the past few days, the French government has seriously investigated the French GC International Organization, and confirmed from many aspects that they are indeed actively planning to cooperate with Germany, and even have been ready to help the German occupation forces resume production after the occupation, and expand the production of iron ore in Lorraine to support German needs. There were even volunteers recruited from the French colonies and defeated soldiers to participate in the defense of the Soviet Union.

"Bastard! These traitors! This is a crime of the GC party against the world, a corruption of France. Churchill didn't know if he was really angry or if he was feigned. Knock the table on the ground. Renault and Albert, who were sitting opposite, were also embarrassed, knowing that not long ago they turned a blind eye to the defense of the Soviet Union by the French GC International Organization, and connived at thousands of people to join the international column to fight in Central Asia.

Yue Peng was very generous, did not mention this matter, and said: "Prime Minister Churchill." President Albert, the situation is now clear, the Soviets and the Germans have joined hands, and perhaps soon the Italians will be added, so we should unite as soon as possible. ”

It was this phrase that Churchill was waiting for, and even Albert and Renault forgot about the situation for the time being and pricked up their ears. Attlee was the first to ask: "General." Your proposal is very good, I wonder how many armies you can send? ”

Army? That's definitely not the case! Yue Peng raised his finger under the gaze of the four people: "We can immediately send a fleet into the Mediterranean Sea or the Atlantic Ocean to cooperate with you, as for the army and air force, it can't be for the time being, because the pressure on our country is very great." There is already a lot of intelligence that the Soviets are planning a big counterattack. In addition, Japan needs to be vigilant against Japan and ensure the security of our three countries in places such as the Southwest Pacific and the Indian Ocean. Before he finished speaking, the eyes of the four people on the other side had dimmed.

Naval fleet. What are you doing? Those German sampans, need to bother you to sail from the Pacific?

How ugly Churchill's face was, how ugly it was. Fortunately, he also knew that Yue Peng still had something to say, and he had already heard half of it anyway, so he simply ignored it and continued to wait. Under his gaze, Yue Peng took out Yang Qiu's preliminary six points of alliance from his pocket and handed them to him and Albert: "In order to better defeat the Nazis and unite all countries and forces, Mr. President has put forward six suggestions.

First, before the war is completely over, there must be no unilateral contact or talks with the enemy, and no unilateral acceptance of surrender will be allowed.

Second, the command of the Southwest Pacific, the Middle East, and the Caucasus should be handed over to China (Britain and France in Central Asia will not be able to go at all).

Third, allow the Chinese Navy to use the Port Said base in Egypt to ensure smooth communication between China and Europe.

Fourth, it is willing to help the British government restore stability in India, but it must first solve the problem of the fleet and the base, and give away or transfer a permanent base in the Indian Ocean.

Fifth, after the war, the colonies were allowed to determine their own future, supporting and recognizing Yang Qiu's terms of restoring the freedom and independence of the Soviet republics in the declaration of war. Respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government in which they wish to live, and wish to see the regain sovereignty and self-government of nations that have been deprived of their sovereignty and autonomy by force.

Sixthly, with respect for the existing obligations of peoples and nations, efforts should be made to promote the right of all nations, large and small, victors and vanquished, to have the right to participate in world trade and to obtain the world's raw materials under equal conditions for the realization of their economic prosperity. ”

Not to mention Churchill, even Attlee was green-faced. If nothing else, just allowing the colonies to determine their own future is to dig out the lifeblood of the British Empire! Although Yang Qiu did not mention India and Africa, but other colonies are independent, can India not be independent? Can the Muslim League become independent? Can South Africa not be independent? Will Egypt still be obedient? "Can't say yes! Can't say yes! Attlee looked at Churchill and shouted in his heart.

Historically, Britain held out on its own until the beginning of 41, not to mention that France has not completely failed now.

Therefore, after Churchill listened to "Yang Liutiao", he was also full of anger. Do you think the British Empire is a good coercion? It's a big deal to beg the United States to go. Churchill huffed, and hurried out of Paris under the pretext that he needed to return home to consult with Parliament. But he didn't know that Roosevelt, who was on the other side of the Atlantic, had already raised his kitchen knife and was ready to entertain him.

On the contrary, Albert, who broke the jar, directly agreed to all the conditions, and also promised to restore the previous agreement and continue to let the Republic of China Navy use the port of Djibouti. But their current promise even Zeng Qi, who doesn't understand military affairs, feels vain. But in any case, France at least passed this hurdle, so Yue Peng immediately discussed with Renault to sell a batch of urgently needed arms to France, including 500 bombers and 300 Type 31 tanks.

At this time, there is no way out for France, the national capital is about to be destroyed, why do you need money? So Albert immediately signed the agreement and promised to pay the entire cost in gold at once, with the only condition that all the arms must be delivered within two months.

After getting the money, Yue Peng felt that there was no need to stay in Paris, so he decided to leave for China immediately, and before leaving, he also told Zeng Qi to destroy the pieces and evacuate Paris as soon as possible. Only Gu Yu lacked diplomatic experience, and when he saw Churchill returning to China without saying a word, he was still worried after getting on the plane: "Chief of Staff, what should I do now?" Britain probably doesn't want to compromise. ”

"Don't think about anything, do your own thing, and have him come to us one day!"

Yue Peng smiled, leaned back in the chair and squinted his eyes. He knew that Churchill was just a hard talker, because as long as France was not really finished for a day, he and Britain would always have a little luck. As for the knife of the United States Roosevelt, which is much more ruthless than China, what people want is the Atlantic Ocean and the most core European interests!
