Like the junction of the 4th and 5th arrondissements, the junction of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements was also cordoned off by the French army, and a large number of civilians gathered in front of the blockade line to confront the military, and they kept verbally greeting a certain matrilineal relative of the French army, but they only dared to say the verb on their lips when they were photographed by the guns in the hands of the infantrymen.

The front of the blockade line was extremely crowded and Manfred and the others took a few seriously injured people, and it was extremely difficult to take a step closer to the blockade line, but fortunately, the seven genuine policemen were very righteous and did not leave Manfred and the others to squeeze towards the blockade line first, but took the initiative to block in front of them to separate the flow of people for Manfred and the others.

After all the effort, Manfred and the others finally crowded in front of the cordon, and an officer in charge of maintaining order at the scene saw a group of policemen crowding over, and took the initiative to ask, "Which unit are you from?" ”

"Seven of us are from the 14th district police station, and they are from the 17th district police station. We were ordered to evacuate here. A real policeman stepped forward and replied.

The officer nodded, then took out a small notebook and wrote something on it, and then ordered several soldiers in charge of guarding on the side: "Pull out the cordon and let them pass." ”

"Yes!" Several French soldiers stood up and saluted, then pulled a row of barbed wire fences open and opened a gap.

But just as Manfred and the others crossed the cordon through the mouth in turn, the otherwise calm civilian crowd behind them suddenly boiled, and people rushed to the gap, intending to rush through the blockade behind Manfred and the others.

"Hurry up!" Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, a soldier hurriedly pulled several task force members walking behind through the cordon, and then moved the horses with several companions to restore the cordon.

But where is it so easy to stop the crazy people? With their numerical superiority, they forced their way through the first cordon formed by the horses and scrambled with a group of soldiers behind the cordon.

Seeing that the cordon had been broken, an officer hurriedly led dozens of soldiers across the second line of sandbags and joined the battle group next to the horse.

After all, the people who were ordinary people were no match for the professionally trained, heavily armed infantry, and after dozens of soldiers smashed the butts of their rifles, the people who rushed past the rejected horses were smashed back, but three people still bypassed the pursuit of the soldiers and rushed towards the sandbag position.

"Woohoo!" The infantry behind the sandbags fired three warning shots into the air, but they still couldn't stop the three men.

"Fire!"

After the alert was ineffective, one of the majors in charge of the command did not hesitate to give the order to shoot to the two soldiers beside him.

The two hesitated after receiving the order, but after a moment they pulled the trigger in their hands.

After several gunshots, the three running men fell to the ground one after another, and red liquid flowed out from under them, staining the ground red.

The people outside the cordon looked at the three people lying motionless on the ground, and they were all stunned, they had never thought that the group of soldiers in front of them would really dare to shoot.

Seeing the originally restless crowd, the officer immediately calmed down, nodded with satisfaction, and shouted loudly: "We have been authorized to shoot at anyone suspicious before we come, so don't challenge our bottom line!" But as long as you stay where you are and cooperate with our work, I can guarantee that you will be fine! ”

On the side, Manfred silently looked at the smug appearance of the officer and the angry faces of the people outside the cordon, grinning, he understood that the purpose of the head of the state had been achieved.

Having successfully exited the cordoned off, Manfred said goodbye to his men and the seven real policemen, and hurried all the way to the predetermined safe house, where the Gestapo had prepared perfect support for them.

Operation Paris was now nearing its end, and three of the four squads successfully completed their mission, with only the Ghost Beta team being attacked by the French Ministry of Defense after being attacked by the French Army, resulting in the failure of the operation.

Afterwards, according to the statistics of the Gestapo, a total of four major generals, four lieutenant generals, and eleven ministerial-level senior officials were killed in this beheading operation, which brought the French supreme command center to a halt for three days. The Paris City Hall building was burned to rubble, the Élysée Palace was largely destroyed, and hundreds of tons of gold bars stored by the French government at the headquarters of the Banque de France melted into the rubble under the heat of napalm.

Had it not been for Churchill's invitation to Lebrun to England to discuss the next move of the Allies, I am afraid that the name of the French president would have been added to the death list.

The day after the attack, Britain and France issued a joint statement, accusing Germany of openly sending bombers with incendiary bombs to bomb civilian areas, killing thousands of innocent people, and declaring that the British and French air forces would take the same action to retaliate against Germany.

Not long after Britain and France issued a joint statement, the United States also issued a statement, criticizing the Lyon government while Roosevelt also announced an aid package for Britain and France, including 200 P40 fighters, 150 M2A4 Stuart light tanks, 300 75mm field guns and more than 500 37mm anti-tank guns, and $5 million interest-free loans.

In the face of the accusations and threats of Britain, France and the United States, Lyon appeared to be calm, and he publicly responded not long after the statement made by Britain, France and the United States: "It is the right of every belligerent to attack the territory of the enemy country in war, so Churchill's accusations against me and the Empire are complete nonsense. ”

"And with regard to the offer of Britain and France to retaliate against Germany in the same way, I will only say that your bombers are welcome to German airspace. Of course, if your planes can pass through our air blockade in good condition - the German Air Force boys can't wait to add some success to their Eagles. ”

"As for the US aid plan, I can only advise you not to get involved in our European affairs, otherwise we don't mind kicking your American GIs in the ass!"

As if in response to Lyon's response, the German offensive also accelerated.

In early April, the forward forces of Guderian's 1st Panzer Group routed a British infantry division and a French armoured brigade near Duran, two of which quickly penetrated Abwehr after eliminating the enemy in front of them, less than 20 kilometers from the English Channel, at a time when the Allied forces in the Calais Strait province still numbered as many as 600,000.

On April 11, a No. 4 tank saw the sea while pursuing a French tank.
