The sky is blue and clear, setting off the summer sun more brilliantly and dazzlingly, and in the lush Compiègne forest, it is already a solemn and solemn scene at this time. German Army soldiers dressed in traditional wilderness gray uniforms lined up on both sides of the road and around the central open space, completely occupying this sacred place in the hearts of the French, and a red swastika flag was waving in the wind, announcing to the world that this nation was about to usher in a historic moment.

With the sound of engines, a convoy gradually drove from the field road into the boulevard, and the first open-top Mercedes-Benz 770 sedan was the exclusive car of the German Führer. Unlike the simple and low-key in normal times, Hitler, who was sitting in the back row at this time, wore extremely formal clothing, which set off his whole person with solemnity and majesty, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the Iron Cross of the First Class, which was still worn on his chest as a lifelong glory.

Behind Hitler, Brauchitsch, Keitel, Raeder, Ribbentrop, and Hess followed in separate cars, and there was hardly any conversation between the whole convoy, and everyone sat solemnly on the bus to the negotiation site. Even Hess, who only relied on his status as a prince to get into this negotiation place, did not show any embarrassment or discomfort, he stayed at the end of the line peacefully, and his clothes and expressions were the most standard appearance.

The breeze blows, the trees sweep upside down, and as the convoy pulls out of the end of the tree-lined road, they are greeted by an elaborate negotiation scene in the middle of the forest. The old brown-red sleeping car was quietly parked where it had been 22 years ago, and even the soldiers lined up around the venue were exactly the same in number and formation as they were in 1918.

Hitler raised his hand slightly, signaled the driver to stop the car, and before the adjutant could help him open the door, Hitler had pushed the door open with a slight tremble, and then held the eagle emblem on the brim of his hat and walked out of the car.

As far as the foot can see, the ground beneath your feet is soft and dry, and the fragrance of grass lingers in your nose, just as before. As Hitler walked slowly on this French land, 60 kilometers away from Paris, the surging emotions in his heart could not be contained, and in a trance, the scene in front of him was distorted like water waves, and turned into scenes that he would never forget.

"His Majesty Wilhelm has declared war on France. This is my perfect opportunity to change my fate, I want to join the army and dedicate myself to the sacred and glorious cause of the Great Germanic nation! On the cheering Munich Square, the thin young man clenched his fists and swore secretly in the crowd.

"Soldier assault, destroy all the French in front!" The cannonballs roared, the guns rang like a torrential rain, and the thin young men and their comrades roared forward, not afraid of death. After the battle, looking at the hellish battlefield full of corpses and flesh, and the wounded and remnants beside him, the emaciated young man who had just experienced the killing had no fear, only a stronger and stronger determination to victory.

"Adolf, I'...... Going to die, this army ...... Order, you promise me that you will ...... It must be delivered to the 386th regiment! "The non-commissioned officer, whose chest cavity was pierced by shrapnel, collapsed in the trench, and no matter how the emaciated young man trembled, no matter how he bandaged it, he could not stop the rapid spurting of blood. Seeing that the hand stretched out into the arms of the middle-aged non-commissioned officer hung down weakly, the thin young man burst into tears like a spring, and howled in grief: "Squad leader! I will definitely deliver the military order. I will avenge you too! ”

"Bastard Karel, you hold on to me! I'll get you to the hospital right away, and you'll survive! The thin young man picked up a burly wounded body that was a head taller than himself from the mud, gritted his teeth and ran in the rushing waves and dense rain of bullets, "Karel, don't you like Anna in the hospital? As long as you survive this time, I'll put a bayonet to her neck and let her stay with you...... Please, don't, uh-ah! Feeling the breathing around his neck gradually stop, the thin young man screamed, and he staggered and fell into the mud, his eyes, nose and mouth instantly filled with filth......

The years of the past flashed before Hitler's eyes as if they were just yesterday. The life-and-death comrades-in-arms who could entrust their lives seemed to be by their side, still ready to attack Paris with high spirits. In the brilliant white sunlight of the Compiègne forest, the faces of these comrades-in-arms suddenly became dozens of years old, and their faces were full of joy and joy when they looked at Hitler, who had created an epic legend in front of them and was high in the clouds for nine days.

"Adolf, we've been watching you all these years. You have fulfilled the lifelong wish of two generations of our nation, and we are all extremely proud of you! So many difficulties along the way, so many strong enemies have not been able to defeat you, you are a true son of Germany; It is a great honor for us to fight alongside you. The old squad leader gently patted Hitler on the shoulder, smiled and said solemnly. He opened his arms and embraced the only living comrade-in-arms in front of him, who had become the German Führer, and a moment later his body disintegrated inch by inch, turning into a little rain of light and flying towards the sky.

Under the bright summer sun in June, Hitler closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, and two streams of clear water converged in his jaw, gathering into small droplets to soak the lawn under his feet. From wandering and confused to being in high power, from being bullied by others to sweeping away the enemy, he has really experienced too much suffering and danger, and he has almost stepped on a wrong step many times and wiped it out. Today, the glorious hall of victory is finally in front of us. The gods came to congratulate, and the ancestral spirits greeted each other. This was his coronation, and he will be remembered as the greatest conqueror in history.

Fortunately for the Germans present, Hitler's fugue gaffe did not affect the subsequent meeting. Shortly after he returned to normal, a car carrying four French delegates including Huntsger drove into the middle of the forest alone, and when the French recognized the carriage, they were stunned. Huntsger's face was blue and white, and the intense shame and pain collided in his heart, but thinking of the fate of the 45 million French people on his shoulders, Huntzger could only swallow this humiliation and seek how to reserve more rights and interests for France at the negotiating table.

In the slightly cramped carriage, the German and French representatives sat in turn – a reversal of their positions compared to in 1918. Hitler, who sat in the seat of Marshal Foch, did not say a word, and Keitel, to his left, read out the preamble to the armistice. As soon as Fang Fu began, a dark cloud shrouded Huntsger's heart. Because the Germans began by grasping the fact that France took the initiative to declare war on Germany, they directly defined the characteristics of this war as Germany's self-defense counterattack, which was the same as the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, which was a just German act.

"In the Treaty of Frankfurt that year, France lost Alsace and Lorraine, and paid 5 billion francs in reparations...... "Huntsger's teeth were sour, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. There are old grievances in the past, and the possibility of Germany raising its noble hand to let France go is almost zero, even if only an armistice agreement is signed now, it is enough for France to drink a pot. However, as Keitel read out Germany's armistice demands one by one, Huntsger was somewhat stunned to find that things were not as bad as he had imagined.

In this armistice, Germany mainly demanded that the northern and western parts of France, about 60% of the mainland, be designated as occupation zones. Sovereignty over these places remained with France, but the administration was to give priority to satisfying German action. France handed over to Germany military installations, ports, and dockyards in the occupied zone, and restored communications and communications in the occupied zone for use by Germany in attacking Britain. Germany promised to gradually reduce and eventually withdraw from the occupied zone after defeating the British; Of course, the French government was responsible for the maintenance of the German occupation forces.

Although 60% of the country was indeed too large to be used as an occupation zone, the Germans had actually captured France by this time. If the occupation zone is demarcated according to the demarcation line of the German side, they will have to withdraw 70,000 or 80,000 square kilometers of territory on their own initiative. Even more reassuring to Huntsger was the fact that Germany recognized that sovereignty over the occupied territories would remain with France, but that administrative power would be partially limited during the occupation – and the Bordeaux authorities were now most concerned about the German annexation of French territory, a commitment that would obviously bring a sigh of relief to the French authorities.

As for Alsace and Lorraine, the French government, since the day it realized its defeat, had no ambition to keep these two provinces. Now France has lost so much that it doesn't even have a pants left, and it is no different from a dream to expect to be able to get out of it all ways. In fact, Petain's cabinet had already begun to discuss which colonies France would have to hand over when a formal peace treaty was signed in the future; At the war table, the loser will never be able to play without paying the corresponding price!

On the question of the retention of armed forces, Germany was far more generous than France had been in 1918. France was only required to surrender all heavy weapons and ammunition as a guarantee of armistice, while a large number of light weapons could be retained, although the development of new weapons was ordered to be suspended, but this was also a normal requirement of the victorious powers. The French Navy was only required to disarm, and not even a single ship was mortgaged. Compared to 1918, when the Allies dragged 11 German battleships and 5 battle cruisers home, the magnitude of Germany's concessions today is really surprising to Huntsger!

Judging from this momentum, France's situation in the future will definitely be much better than after Germany's defeat in the war. First of all, the French territory will not be dismembered and will still be able to maintain the status quo before 1914, and secondly, France's military strength will not be too shabby, although it will certainly be restricted, but the most basic national security is still expected to be guaranteed. Moreover, France's colonies will not lose as much money as Germany did in the past, and it is unrealistic for Germany to eat so much territory at once, no matter how big its appetite is. With the return of the colonies, France must have had a better life after the war than Germany did back then.

What Huntsger is still uncertain about is the amount of the occupation fee and the amount of the official indemnity. But neither of these is something he can discuss now - the occupation fee is directly linked to the size and consumption of the occupying force, and the reparations are a matter for later. Huntsger took up his mind and dispelled the apprehension: since there was no way to confirm it now, let it be decided that what could be negotiated first.
