Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 336: Secret Talk (Part 1)

There are some empty rooms in the Prime Minister’s Office that no one can tell the actual purpose. Most of them are just two chairs or a small table against the wall. Sometimes there are some decorative flowers on the table. Modern sculptures of Nazi consciousness symbols.

Speer incorporated a lot of decoration and modernism elements in the design of this building, striving to give people a solemn and oppressive impact on the vision, but at the same time it also caused a lot of space waste.

Xu Jun has always tried to make some changes in this ritually rich building, erase the mark of Hitler's existence, and leave a mark with his own personal touch.

However, the magnificent and complicated structural layout of the entire Prime Minister's Office prevented Xu Jun from making too many changes to the building itself, so he chose to make some articles on the functions of some rooms.

This reception room was originally just a waiting room with decoration far exceeding practicality. As a result, it became a hidden living room for meeting secret guests after the "Prime Minister's Office Space Reuse Campaign" by the head of state.

The last time Daugen, Weirle, and Count Kuhnberger had a secret conversation, it was chosen to be held in this reception room.

"A great banquet, Your Excellency." Laval stood up from the sofa and stretched out his right hand towards Xu Jun.

"I am very pleased to satisfy you, Mr. Prime Minister." Xu Jun shook hands with Laval, then turned to the French Admiral standing behind the Prime Minister.

"You still look so energetic, Your Admiral." The German head of state said with a smile.

"Same for you, dear head of state." Admiral Jean de Laporte, commander of the French Navy's High Seas Fleet, tried to squeeze a smile on his poker face, and at the same time saluted the German head of state. military salute.

"My honour, the head of state." Viscount Wood leaned in greeting gracefully, and then extended his right hand to Xu Jun.

"Welcome, Your Excellency, Viscount." Xu Jun shook his opponent's hand, his gaze flicked over the opponent's left sleeve hanging beside him, the wooden prosthetic hand was wearing black leather gloves, it didn't look like Very abrupt.

The host and guest took their seats after the greetings, and the waiter in the white dress served drinks and snacks.

"Everyone's time is limited, Viscount Wood, please tell us about the progress of the current work." The head of the Empire polished the match and lit his cigar.

"The salvage work is currently 70% completed, and progress is still very smooth. We are searching for the remains of missing French officers and soldiers underwater and plan to complete the search mission in the eastern part of the port by the end of the month." Viscount Wood cleared Cleared his throat, then picked up a document on the table and began to tell.

It has been almost half a year since the European campaign ended. The grievances between Britain and France during the war are still entangled.

At that time, in order to support this "ally", the British Empire gave almost everything and sent a powerful expeditionary force to Europe.

At the time, even the London tabloid reporter with the biggest brain hole would not have imagined that the Expeditionary Army would be destroyed in the European battlefield, because even if the British Empire Army’s combat power is a bit weaker, there is not the most powerful invincible in Europe. The French army, and no matter how bad the war is, at best the last war will be repeated.

After the First World War in Dunkirk, the British Expeditionary Force was not only sent to a prisoner-of-war camp, but also killed the main force of the local fleet. Since then, the war has been out of the control of Britain and France.

The British Army really fought hard for France. After the strait was completely blocked by the Germans, some of the remnants of the expeditionary force stranded in the French mainland fought side by side with the local French defenders.

Because of the previous domestic terrorist propaganda about the German army and the foreign environment where the language is not understood, the British were more tenacious in combat than the French.

The battle of Dunkirk is the dividing line. Since then, the total number of British Army officers and soldiers who have died in France is about 4,000. These soldiers and their French comrades are buried together. Many people are lost or lost because of language barriers. With the identification card, the name cannot be written on the tombstone.

For these warriors who died for France, the French are also grateful. They are rediscovering the cemeteries of these unknown soldiers to find the relics that can prove their identity, and eventually find their family members in the UK.

It's just that although the French are active, the actual work efficiency is very touching. The results that can be confirmed so far are only more than 200 people. But for these distressed family members, the late news is better than a missing notice, not to mention being able to know the exact burial place of the deceased, which is also a great comfort to the family.

The British Army has been actively cooperating with the French Army in this area. At the same time, there are still a large number of British prisoners of war and scattered soldiers stranded in France. The placement and handling of these people also needs the attention of the French side.

During the war, many Royal Air Force officers and soldiers spattered the blue sky of France, the largest number of which were bomber crew members.

The situation of these people is somewhat contradictory. It is difficult to say that they are fighting to defend France. They are indeed attacking German military targets, but at the same time they also attacked parts of the German occupation almost indiscriminately. In towns and villages, many innocent French civilians were killed and wounded.

The historical trend here has changed. Some British pilots who parachuted or made an emergency landing in the German-occupied area were spontaneously searched and arrested by French civilians, and some were even lynched in retaliation. Many were eventually sent to Germany. When he was in, he was dying from beatings all over his body.

After the war, the responsible personnel of the Royal Air Force were liquidated by the French. At the same time, France also rescued many British pilots who fell in the French military control area. These people were taken care of quite well, because the French People thought that the content broadcast on the radio was just false propaganda by the German army.

As for British fighter pilots, they rarely have the opportunity to cross the middle of the strait, so there is no chance of being "entered" by French civilians.

In history, many French pilots fled to England, but this has not happened today. The French Air Force suffered heavy losses in the war, but miraculously retained most of its viable power, because when the Army forces desperately resisted, the French pilots rarely had the opportunity to fight the Luftwaffe. The French aircraft were either destroyed at the airport, or they were old and dilapidated to be completely unbearable for combat, or they were placed in various reserves waiting for the distribution of superiors.

Some well-performing aircraft were ordered by Renault to be transferred to the French colonies in Africa. He planned to lead the government to the colony to continue the war once the entire territory of the mainland fell. However, Renault was quickly ousted by Petain, so When the armistice agreement was signed, the planes were called back immediately.

Some of the aircraft were also seconded by Germany to participate in the British Air War. Fortunately, no French-made military aircraft entered the British airspace or was shot down by the British army at that time, otherwise the accounts of the two sides after the war would be even more unclear.

Now the biggest differences and contradictions between the two militaries are the naval issues.

Churchill's "Operation Ballista", although not as large as in history, was not small at all.

The French Navy's losses in both ship equipment and personnel that night far exceeded the number of losses in the battle against Germany in the past few months~IndoMTL.com~The French Navy received no warning in history. , So that the British Royal Navy encountered only extremely weak resistance during the operation, and all the French warships docked in the British mainland were completely under the control of the Royal Navy.

But this time, because of an apostle of God, General Godfroy of the French Mediterranean Fleet learned of the sneak attack conspiracy in advance, but unfortunately he only had time to warn Toulon’s superiors, but in the end he used the most tragic Their fleet sank into Alexandria together.

General Godfroy did not sacrifice in vain. Because of his advance warning, the French fleet in Portsmouth was able to prepare for battle in time. Although the result was still annihilated, it was also given to Britain. The Royal Navy inflicted huge losses and kept the last point of honor of the French Navy.

Six British elite light cruisers and three destroyers were so severely damaged in the port battle that night that they were unable to participate in the subsequent battle in the English Channel.

Although it cannot be said that this directly led to the defeat of the British local fleet in this naval battle, if there were six more light cruisers in the Royal Navy's lineup at that time, it is really unclear who will die in this naval battle. It may be said that there are days in the dark. These French naval officers and soldiers who died in Portsmouth avenged themselves through the hands of the Germans.

Of course, the French Navy would not think so. They only remember one thing in their minds. When the French Navy was attacked, Britain and France were still in alliance. France was stabbed in the back by a friend, so this account must be settled.

PS: Thank you everyone for your support. I continue to update. Basically, I will update one chapter in two days. I don’t want to say what will happen if the state is good, because the actual situation is that the state is still not so good.
