Pursued by the German armored forces, the remnants of the Polish army, totaling more than 9,000 people, who tried to escape from the city of Kalisz, were surrounded on the road, and after several hours of fierce fighting, the remnants of the Polish army surrendered.

In the end, the Battle of Kalisz ended with more than 1,000 German casualties, more than 6,000 Polish casualties, and more than 10,000 prisoners.

However, at such a great cost, the results of the German war were also remarkable, and after the end of the Battle of Kalisz, Poland had painstakingly managed and the defense line of the Prosna River, which had been pinned on high hopes, was declared lost.

And the most unfortunate is the "Pomerania" army group defending the Polish corridor, they should abandon the Polish corridor according to the predetermined plan, and retreat from the Polish corridor to the new central defense line with the Prosna River defense line as the core, but when they just raised their legs on the Polish corridor and stepped out of their positions to retreat, the Prosna defense line at that end was lost.

With the loss of the Prosna River Line, the First Army of German Army Group A, which had been driving straight in, was able to outflank the rest of the central Polish defense line with the fastest swagger and detour, and after being attacked from both sides, the central defense line and Kalisz were completely lost two days later, and the "Pomerania" Army, which had not had time to retreat in the Polish corridor, totaled more than 170,000 people were completely surrounded by their positions.

Paris, France, Presidential Palace.

It was the first time Churchill had met with French President Le Brun since he was invited by Chamberlain to join the wartime cabinet and return to the post of Secretary of the Admiralty.

And this first meeting was very unpleasant for both sides.

"Mr. Lebrun!" Churchill, who had a big belly, looked at Lebrun with an unhappy face and said, "I repeat, we must immediately send troops to Germany!" If it's too late, Poland will be finished! ”

"Mr. Churchill, I said that the French Army still needs time to prepare!" Lebrun is even more unhappy than Churchill, he is a French president, and he has to be pointed at by Churchill to reprimand him, you must know that even if the current British King George VI is in front of him, he has to give him some face.

"Prep time, how long will it take for you guys to get ready?!" Churchill's face flushed with anger, "Do you have to wait until Poland is done and Germany starts to invade you, and your army can be ready to finish?!" ”

"Invade us? Hahaha! Lebrun seemed to hear some joke and burst out laughing, "Are the Germans stupid?" We have a strong Maginot Line, we have the world's largest army, Mr. Churchill, you tell me, where did they get the guts to invade us?! ”

Churchill opened his mouth, although he thought that he had always thought that Germany would invade France, but looking at France's perverted Maginot Line, it seemed that Germany really had nothing to do with the Maginot Line.

Lebrun saw that Churchill was deflated, and his heart suddenly felt much more relaxed, and he smiled: "Mr. Churchill, Germany's next opponent will definitely not be us, you can rest assured." As far as the current situation is concerned, it seems that they will most likely do something to the red monster of the Soviet Union, and isn't it precisely in our interests? Didn't Mr. Chamberlain tell you this when you took over as Lord of the Navy? ”

"Ugh." Churchill sighed, he still thought that Germany would do something next to France, and he always felt that something was wrong with the Maginot Line, but he couldn't say what it was, "Well, Monsieur Lebrun, I listen to your decision and Prime Minister Chamberlain's decision, but I still reserve my opinion." ”

"Good." Lebrun nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, since we can use defense to deter the other party, why do we need to send troops to attack directly?" That would be a waste of the precious lives of our soldiers. ”

"It's a pity for Poland, a valiant ally." Churchill said with regret.

"Poland? Hehe. "Some time ago, when Mr. Mośchitsky came to Paris to meet me and Mr. Chamberlain," he swore that his new central line would hold off the German troops. How long did they give up most of the land in Poznań in exchange for the new Central Front? Is there three days? ”

"The main reason is that they lack tanks and anti-tank firepower." Churchill analyzed, "Since we don't send troops, let's support their arms, we can't watch our allies being invaded and remain indifferent." ”

"Well, this one does." Lebrun nodded and agreed, "Then I'll arrange for the arms to be sent to our allies as quickly as possible, so that no one will say that we don't believe in our words." ”

It's shameless, Churchill sneered in his heart, you and Chamberlain still think that they are very creditworthy? If you had fulfilled the protection you had promised Czechoslovakia, would you have thrown Czechoslovakia into the arms of Germany? Is it the way things are today?

However, Churchill can only say these words in his heart, no matter what, France is his ally after all, and he cannot dismantle the platform of his allies.

"Well, Mr. Lebrun should be more attentive to the arms aided and arrange them as soon as possible, after all, if it is too late, Poland may not need them." Churchill said and stood up, "Then so be it, I want to finish the communication with you, and the meeting with you is very pleasant, I hope that our cooperation in the future can be so harmonious." ”

Lebrun breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't like to deal with Churchill in his heart, Churchill was too faceless.

"I think so too." Lebrun also stood up, shook Churchill's hand, and said, "I hope our two countries can go hand in hand and lead the German war to the Soviet Union!" ”

Churchill didn't say anything more, he also didn't like to work with Lebrun, he felt that Lebrun was too naïve, and even the pleasant words of the previous conversation made Churchill himself want to vomit.

In this way, Britain and France once again reached a "consensus" that the opportunity to send troops to Germany had not yet arrived.

In this way, the 102 French, 28 British, 7 Belgian, and six Dutch divisions deployed by the Allies on the Western Front, totaling 1,348,800 men, had nothing to do all day except to read magazines and watch the Germans across the Rhine on the trains transporting munitions to the German-Polish front.

On the opposite side of the Allied forces, the soldiers of the German Army Group B, D, and E, with a total of only 480,000 men, were nervous all day long in the face of the Allied forces, which were three times their number, for fear that they would suddenly attack and push all the way to Berlin.

However, although the Allied high-level did not coax, the Allied soldiers did not coax at all, and they privately "attacked" the German defense line.

The "offensive" was carried out by the Belgians and a group of French paratroopers, who advanced 7.5 kilometers under artillery cover and then stopped, with the result that the Allies were killed by Mi-35 jumping mines, killing 22 people, and the German troops retreated on their own, without a single death.

This strange state of war on the Western Front was jokingly called the "fake war" by the people in Britain and France to express their dissatisfaction with the government.
