As soon as Renault's words came out, several people who were still arguing suddenly fell silent, Marshall was thinking about how to answer, and Churchill was frightened by Renault.

After a long time, Churchill was the first to break the silence and said: "I believe that the American side has its own considerations, and we should discuss the matter of arms aid first......

As he spoke, he also glanced at Renault frantically, signaling him to be subtle, first stabilize the matter of arms aid and then persuade the United States to enter the war, don't scare people away, and in the end you won't even be able to get arms.

But Renault didn't see Churchill's eyes, he leaned forward with his hands on the table, and said to the pensive Marshall: "To tell you the truth, Lebrun will announce that Paris will be undefended at noon today, because we really can't have more troops to defend our capital, and we have reached the point of exhaustion, do you understand?!" ”

"You're going to give up Paris? Give it to Germany?! Churchill was taken aback by the news, "Isn't your previous effort to fortify Paris in vain?" ”

"Then you tell me, what should we do? Do you think those fortresses will shoot themselves and open fire?! Renault turned his head and said angrily.

"But isn't there still a population of millions in Paris? How can such a population organize tens of thousands of troops, right? Churchill asked.

"Hehe, you don't know the combat effectiveness of the Germans? Well-trained soldiers will be defeated, and what can improvised soldiers do besides use corpses to jam tank tracks? Renault asked with a sneer.

"Or else." Charles de Gaulle, who was sitting next to Renault, suddenly spoke up, "How about if you let the citizens of London come and defend Paris for us, and we let Paris continue to resist?" ”

"Well, this ......" Churchill was speechless by De Gaulle's words.

"Now you are the only ones who can stop Lyon from encroaching on all of Europe." Renault turned his gaze to Marshall again, "If you don't directly participate in the war, we really have to surrender, and when we surrender, I think the British Empire alone will not be able to support the landing operation launched by a million German troops - when Germany occupies all of Europe and completes the integration of resources, who will their next spearhead be pointed at, I don't think I need to say more, right?" ”

"We understand Germany's ambitions, which is why we will spare no effort to provide you with arms aid and interest-free loans." Marshall said slowly.

You know a basket, don't you want to take advantage of the opportunity to make us money by giving us these things? Both Churchill and Renault couldn't help but sneer.

"To tell you the truth, President Roosevelt and I both wanted to go straight to the war and fight the arrogance of Germany as we did in the last war, but you also know that Congress will not allow ......it," Marshall continued, "and we have done a great job to provide you with weapons and financial assistance......

"Then get rid of you and make a little more effort!" Renault said in a voice almost pleadingly.

Looking at Renault's almost desperate look, Marshall sighed and said: "Let me be honest with you, before coming here, President Roosevelt had already specifically told me that in the current situation, it is impossible for Congress to pass a resolution to declare war on Germany under any circumstances, but he told me that if the war in Europe is really on the verge of collapse, then we can directly participate in this war in another way." ”

"In what way?" Churchill and Renault asked in unison.

"Send volunteers!" Marshall said seriously, "The expansion of our army is very smooth, originally we only had 9 infantry divisions, 2 cavalry divisions, 1 mechanized cavalry brigade with a total of more than 180,000 people, but now we have 20 infantry divisions, 5 armored divisions and 2 mechanized cavalry brigades with a total of about 500,000 people, we can send at least 3 infantry divisions and 1 armored division to Europe to participate in the war, and at the same time deploy more than 10 infantry divisions to land in Iceland - I think it is impossible for Congress to disagree with this plan." ”

"3 infantry divisions? Hehe......" Renault said with a wry smile, "but Germany has at least 170 divisions and 3.5 million troops on the frontal battlefield!" What's the use of your three divisions coming here? Even if all your 500,000 troops come, they will still not be able to resist the German attack! What we need is for you to declare war on Germany and mobilize for war......"

"I'm really sorry, we can't declare war on Germany at this stage......" Marshall said regretfully.

Hearing this final answer, Renaud let out a long sigh, and for a moment, he seemed to be ten years old.

After a long time, he stood up and bowed to everyone present, and said: "Although we are very reluctant, I am afraid that we can really only withdraw from this war, thank you for fighting with us in France during this time, and I wish you good luck in the future......"

After saying that, he left the conference room without looking back.

"Hey!" Churchill cried out to save him, but seeing that Renault had made up his mind, he sat back in his seat, and the room fell into deathly silence once more.

No one will think that Renault's words are just simple angry words, everyone here knows what the current situation of France is, and they are also very sorry for the departure of France, but they really can't show more strength to help France.

As Lebrun said, the future of France is now in God's hands.

Sitting in the car on the way back, Renault looked at the scenery outside for a long time, and the whole person was lifeless as if he was dead.

Because of the depth of his love for France.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the plane arranged for us by the British side is ready, and we can leave for France at any time." Charles de Gaulle, who was sitting next to Renault, whispered to Renault.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, anyway, you may never have the chance to come here again......" Renault said lonely, "de Gaulle, accompany me to the port of London." ”

"Okay, Prime Minister." De Gaulle nodded, then patted the driver in front of him on the shoulder, signaling him to divert to the port of London.

When he arrived at the port of London, Renault pushed the car door and got out of the car, and de Gaulle and his entourage and security tried to keep up, but Renault politely refused to follow the others, and just let de Gaulle accompany him.

The Port of London is the largest seaport in the United Kingdom, the world's shipping center, one of the world's largest ports, and in the current state of war, British colonies around the world are sending supplies to the British, so this super prosperous port is particularly busy.

The two of them got off the bus on the north bank of the estuary, not far from the largest pier in the Port of London, Colry Don Pier, so they wandered all the way to Corey Don Pier.
