News of the signing of a peace treaty between France and Germany soon reached Britain, prompting the British top brass to quickly convene an impromptu meeting to deal with the surrender of the French army and the consequences of the surrender on Britain.

There was a dead silence in the conference room.

The British generals were very annoyed by the news of France's betrayal of Britain on the one hand, but helpless on the other.

With this emotion, no one can be happy.

One of the vice admirals couldn't sit still, and he said excitedly: "We can't just sit still, we should take action, immediately dispatch the navy, and teach those self-righteous Frenchmen a lesson!" ”

The British vice admiral burst into flames, pounded the table angrily and roared: "If they hand over the French Navy to the Germans, and they unite against our British Navy, then our British will be finished!" ”

An older officer said calmly: "The current situation in the British Empire can be said to be hanging by a thread, the government personnel disregard the safety of the country, under the strong demand of the people, forced the navy to fight, and the navy top brass is about to be unable to withstand the pressure, I think we should also go to war to attack the French navy." ”

"Today's home fleet, although it is no match for the German navy, I think it is no problem to deal with the French who have just been defeated, not to mention that they are only docked in the military port and are not well guarded."

It can be seen that although the officer's tone is calm, he is still the main battle faction, and still hopes that the Royal Navy will attack and teach the French a lesson.

Churchill also attended the meeting, and he also heard the conversation of the generals on the side, and at the same time thought in his heart.

In the same way, he agreed with the words of the two previous generals, since the German navy could not be defeated, it should be attacked by the French navy, because this was the only chance for the British.

Of course, if even the French navy can't be defeated, the British Empire won't have to struggle anymore, and the country can be opened wide and handed over Great Britain and Northern Ireland will be over?

Most of the people present were actually very much in favor of the plan to attack the French Navy, because it was indeed the best chance for the British Navy.

Once the French battleships fell into the hands of the Germans, then the end of the British Isles should have really come.

But now, Churchill could not speak casually.

Because the British Navy is about to lose its wealth under his leadership, which side he now orders to support is actually completely thankless.

The side he supports may not appreciate it, and the side he opposes will definitely be cynical.

So Churchill felt that he should be a man like Jesus, just listening, not speaking.

Churchill was now in a deep and unusually difficult position, and he especially wanted to say his opinion, but he did not dare to open his mouth.

After all, he had slapped his face and commanded too many times before, and it can be said that he had lost the basic trust of the Royal Navy in him.

But in all fairness, he can't be blamed entirely.

If you want to blame, you can only blame his opponent for being too strong.

After all, the all-knowing and all-powerful Führer, who had crossed over from the future, knew Churchill's various naval deployments, and of course would make him lose again and again, until he lost to the bottom.

And Churchill, of course, don't know anything about it.

Sure enough, Churchill's silence was correct.

Before Churchill could speak, there was an opposing voice, and an old general with considerable weight in the navy frowned and said with a worried expression: "We have suffered the loss of the German High Seas Fleet in the naval battle between Narvik and the North Sea, and now we think it is extremely unwise to attack a neutral French navy!"

"In the event that our sneak attack fails, and the French Navy is pushed to the German side, then the French Navy will come together with the German Navy to deal with us. The old general asked rhetorically.

"But who knows if France really wants to remain naval neutral? In case this was a trick played by Reinhardt and the French Navy, we would have really suffered a dumb loss in the end, and we would have known what regret was when we were pressed to the ground by the French and German navies. A younger major general retorted coldly.

Another vice admiral also joined in arguing: "It's really a problem. Even if the French Navy really only wants to remain neutral now, there is no guarantee that one day in the future, they will turn to the German Navy because of the change in the situation. ”

Gradually, the admirals began to talk about it.

Indeed, they still need to consider carefully whether to attack the French Navy, after all, this is not a game, but a major event that affects the whole body.

"Pétain, the old fox, betrayed France, betrayed his title of French savior, and sided with the Germans. I have to say that he did have a big problem for us in Britain. In particular, he was well at the mercy of retaining the French navy, but it was a complete attempt to drive us to the death of the British. ”

It was a Churchill aide in a suit who said this. In his eyes, everyone should put the interests of the British Empire first. Petain could not accept that he would preserve the navy for the benefit of France, thereby harming the interests of England.

The other minister also nodded and said: "France is indeed free from the suffering of war under Petain's leadership, but it is unjust for Petain to throw the problem on us England." I think we should give them a little bit of color. ”

"Yes, now we are suffering locally, but we still have some advantages in general, and it is definitely not good news for the French to remain neutral at this time. As soon as we are defeated again or suffer some small losses, the French may immediately change sides and attack us, and I am in favor of the plan to attack the French navy. Another French officer also spoke, his eyes full of determination.

"Look no further! Since we are not going to accept variables, we must simplify the current situation. An admiral spoke his heart for Churchill.

Seeing that this was the case, Churchill finally couldn't help but speak: "Since most of us think that we should send out the navy to attack the French military port and sink the main force of the French navy in the military port." Well, the decision is justified. ”

Churchill would not have imagined that their vicious decision to turn around and deny people might not end up hurting the French Navy, which was once an ally of Britain......

"Codename, Operation Ballista!"

An action that was about to turn Britain and France against each other was born.
