"How dare they ......!"

As soon as Ribbentrop pushed open the door to Reinhardt's office, he heard a violent roar from the Führer.

There was no one in the office except Reinhardt himself. In other words, Reinhardt was talking to himself for some reason.

Seeing Ribbentrop coming in in a hurry, Reinhardt also stopped his anger and quietly detained the Far Eastern information in his hand on his desk.

"What, what's the matter?" After all, he is not a hairy boy, Reinhardt quickly put away the anger on his face and asked with a smiling face.

Ribbentrop didn't even have time to knock on the door, and broke into his office in such a hurry, it could only be because the other party did have something important to report. Reinhardt only needs to think about it a little to understand.

"My Führer," Ribbentrop signaled, and without even the slightest extra politeness, went straight to the point: "Something is wrong!" The international situation that our country is now facing is unprecedentedly difficult! ”

"Don't worry, take it one step at a time." Reinhardt was not as anxious as Ribbentrop, and waved his hand very calmly: "It's a big deal, it's not that you haven't done this before." ”

"Huh?" Ribbentrop apparently did not react to Reinhardt's meme of single-handedly challenging the whole world.

"Nothing, you keep talking about yours." Reinhardt coughed dryly twice and motioned to Ribbentrop to get down to business.

"My Führer, Charles de Gaulle, published his Letter to the French People on British Radio." Ribbentrop reported to Reinhardt very solemnly: "This is not a good start, De Gaulle is preparing to establish a new French government!" ”

It is quite simple that when there is only one French government in the world, the Vichy French government, which cooperates with Reinhardt, is qualified to represent the will of the entire French people at the international level.

But as soon as a second and third French government appeared, then the role of the Vichy government, which cooperated with Germany, would be weakened and become more and more insignificant.

Take a famous example to illustrate that during the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes and supported the Han Emperor as the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the relationship between the emperor of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao was actually similar to the relationship between the French puppet government and Germany today.

Cao Cao gave the Son of Heaven the title of the imperial court, similar to Germany giving France a foothold for a new government.

Today, Germany left the industrially inferior southern part of France to the Vichy regime in Petain as the basis for a new government.

It may seem that Germany has given up all of France, which could have been acquired, but in fact, Reinhardt's move was very strategic.

After all, France is a traditional European power with historical heritage, and if Germany fully occupies France, the French will definitely stage a battle of trapped beasts when they see that the country is about to die. In the art of war, it also pays attention to the lack of one of the three encirclements, and if France is provoked too much, even if the German army occupies the entire territory of France, it will pay a great price.

Moreover, France, like England, was a country with very large colonies, and if Germany completely wiped out France, then the French colonies would definitely fall apart. Most of them will be taken over by the United States and Britain and other countries, and this situation is not conducive to Germany.

On the contrary, if a Vichy puppet government is left, this will save the French the last face. Not only will the mood of resistance be reduced, but it will also be possible to mobilize France's various war resources.

The Vichy government was at least a government, and it could manage France's vast colonial system to provide Germany with bases and supplies.

In fact, this situation is similar to Cao Cao's use of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to take over the system of the Han Dynasty and win over those talents who are interested in the Han family.

Of course, the reason why Germany did not directly annex France was not only because of the need for a buffer time, but also because of the influence of De Gaulle's government-in-exile. Vichy France, with Petain, took control of Berente, who had gone to Africa to take over the colonial army.

Although Reinhardt was unaware of the cordial relationship between Béronte and Petain, he understood that as long as Petain was not an idiot, he would definitely find a way to take the colony into his own hands, rather than hand it over to De Gaulle, who was destined to go all the way to the end of England.

But, after all, de Gaulle was going to form a new government.

Although this matter cannot be measured by the value of goods, the existence of two French governments, especially the other, is in opposition to itself, and this is something that the Third Reich should not sit idly by in any way.

During the Three Kingdoms period, didn't Cao Cao also actively eliminate Yuan Shu, who was called the emperor, for the sake of the uniqueness of the Son of Heaven in his palm, to ensure that there was only one Son of Heaven in the world?

With Reinhardt's shrewdness, how could he not understand how much influence the government of Charles de Gaulle would have on Germany's future international strategy.

Reinhardt wasn't worried, though.

"De Gaulle's government will not be followed by the French." Reinhardt smiled faintly and walked over to Ribbentrop's side.

"If I were a Frenchman, I would rather go to Africa and join their so-called famous man who defeated Italy, like Béronte."

Reinhardt patted Ribbentrop on the shoulder and said by analogy: "One is a famous French general who has made great achievements in war and has been vigorously promoted by Petain, and on the other side is a small French general who has suddenly popped up in obscurity." Which one is better or worse, which one is more worthy of entrustment, you can see at a glance. ”

"What's more, the British will soon do something that chills the hearts of their French friends, which is not a good thing for Charles de Gaulle, who is attached to Britain......." Saying this, Reinhardt's tone gradually became cold.

"How?" Ribbentrop obviously did not know about the "Ballista Operation" secretly planned by the British, and asked with a puzzled expression: "But the Führer, I have heard that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill sent a telegram yesterday to express his understanding to Admiral Darlan, the commander-in-chief of the French navy. According to the feedback I received, this move won the French Navy a huge favor. ”

The British will understand the difficulties of the French Navy, what year is this a joke?

Hearing this, Reinhardt waved his hand rather disdainfully: "If you want to cover up, Churchill, a person who can say 'there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests', always only thinks about the interests of his country." ”

Speaking of this, Reinhardt's gaze inadvertently drifted to the Far East intelligence that he held on the table.

That's the pain Reinhardt can't tell anyone around him!

"The British, the most shameless and mercenary bastards in the world." Reinhardt gritted his teeth and whispered bitterly: "These selfish villains, there is nothing, they can't do it!" ”
