When Petain and Prime Minister Pierre Reival had discussed a course of action, he personally called Chen Yanlong for a tentative inquiry.

Although it was already late at night, Pétain still risked waking Chen Yanlong to be denied a call.

Because he knew that if he didn't deal with his worries right now, he wouldn't be able to sleep.

And he also has a hunch that at such an important moment now, Chen Yanlong should also fall asleep with fate.

It didn't take long for Petain to call the secretary of the Berlin presidential palace to Chen Yanlong's room.

Then there was Chen Yanlong and Petain having a private conversation, and they talked for almost an hour.

When Petain hung up, he himself was shocked.

Because he didn't expect that the benefits that Chen Yanlong gave him would exceed all his expectations.

Chen Yanlong's request was that if France could send a large army to assist the German army in defeating the British and American forces, then he would not only return most of the French territory to Petain, but also help France rebuild its national economy and let the French people live a peaceful life again.

In addition, in order to express Chen Yanlong's sincerity, he was willing to send a large number of new weapons and equipment to the French army to equip the French to fight on the front line.

It would also provide enough food to all the starving people in Paris, France, and help Petain secure a more stable Vichy regime to rule France.

In short, Chen Yanlong wanted Petain to dispatch a large number of French troops to serve as cannon fodder for the German army, so he gave a lot of attractive conditions, and there were still many conditions that could be traded immediately.

Because Chen Yanlong is now very short of reserve troops to fight against the British, American and Soviet coalition forces on the eastern and western fronts.

In particular, he also wants to get oil from Libya and the Middle East as soon as possible, so he needs to get some more client states to use as cannon fodder and fight forward.

Of course, the benefits he will give to these client states, and he will also give the big heads, as long as he gets the most important land.

Because he can't rule the world with a small population like Germany, only YY on the network in later generations can have it.

Of course, it is still possible to defeat all the powerful states one by one and unite more client states to divide the interests.

Therefore, in order to tempt Petain and all the French people's motives for fighting, Chen Yanlong did what he said, and immediately promised that starting tomorrow he would gradually send clothes and food to the common people who were starving and freezing in Paris.

Of course, the result of this was also to win over the hearts and minds of more people in the French occupation zone, and Petain was hesitant to do so.

So after he finished communicating with Chen Yanlong on the phone, he immediately called Prime Minister Pierre Reival back and continued the discussion.

After a night of careful consideration by the two of them, they finally decided to accept most of Chen Yanlong's conditions, of course, in order to obtain more French interests, so they called Chen Yanlong again to meet with the Chamber of Commerce and negotiate the terms of cooperation.

On the eve of the cooperation between France and Germany, the British Royal Aircraft Carrier Fleet has also repelled the sneak attack of the eighth wave of German I-4000 series submarines, as well as more than 10 mine areas.

At the same time, it once again repelled the small German fleet and the harassing air raids of the aviation units.

"How long do we have before we get to the Channel Islands?"

Under the night sky, when the stars were getting darker and darker, the captain of a battleship yelled at the combat staff officer beside him with a heavy heart.

Because he has been annoyed by the sneak attack of those German submarine groups, especially these I-400 series submarines are not easy to deal with, they not only have advanced torpedoes, but also have Qinglan attack aircraft to assist in the operation.

"Half an hour to go!"

To this, the combat staff officer named Vince Fellin immediately agreed.

"Why does it take so long? How long have we been here in the Mediterranean? Those damned German submarine forces! ”

Hearing this, the battleship's captain Brude immediately jumped into a rage.

"They've been delaying us for almost two days!"

"They targeted us as soon as we left the harbor, and they deployed a large number of mines in our path!"

"We've been clearing mines for a day, and that's not counting the time to fight them!"

Combat staff officer Vince Fellin was also depressed.

"Damn! So has our aviation now reached the Channel Islands for support operations? ”

"The sound of shelling and explosions there is very loud! We've heard it before we get there yet! ”

Captain Bruder continued.

"I don't know! We have just been fighting, and we know very little about London and the Empire itself! ”

"However, our aircraft carrier commander, Chief Redman, has just received a call from Commander John, the chief of staff in charge of defensive operations in the entire English Channel, saying that their army units deployed on the Channel Islands have almost been wiped out, and they are about to be wiped out by the Germans!"

Operations staff officer Vince Fellin said with a sad face.

"What!"

"How so? Didn't Prime Minister Churchill send aviation units to support them? How could you lose so quickly? ”

"The Channel Islands are not very far from the mainland of our empire, and we have enough time to attack a large number of aviation units for support operations!"

Hearing such shocking and frustrating news, Captain Bruder was stunned and stunned.

As they said this, the fighter planes and bomber units that had taken off from the outskirts of London finally flew over their heads, and flew one step ahead of them over the Channel Islands, ready to fight the German air forces that were unscrupulously bombing there for air supremacy in the English Channel.

At the same time, the Royal Aircraft Carrier Fleet to which Captain Bruderton belonged also attacked all of their only more than 100 carrier-based aircraft.

These ships are very chaotic, they have fighters: sea fire, sea hurricane, sea fangs, fireflies, tube-nosed swallow dive bombers: barracudas, torpedo attack aircraft: big mackerel, swordfish.....

This is because most of the advanced carrier-based aircraft have already been deployed to Algiers for a new round of Italian counterattacks that are secretly deployed.

"Sir! As soon as you say they're over our heads, and now even the only planes we have are in sortie! ”

"It seems that the war situation in the Channel Islands is probably very bad and tragic!"

Combat staff officer Vince Fielder, who was startled by the sudden appearance of the Royal Air Force in the night sky, smiled wryly and pointed to the British planes above his head.

"I saw it, let's hurry up and rush over to help!"

"Otherwise, all the officers and soldiers of the Channel Islands will be wiped out!"

Captain Bruderton, who was staring up at the Royal Air Force who was gradually moving away, also suddenly stared at him, revealing a murderous path.

So the battleships under his command immediately picked up speed and rushed to the Channel Islands in a murderous manner, preparing for a decisive battle with the Germans.
