In fact, in historical Germany, there was such a title as the Imperial Field Marshal, but it was just a special case, and it was an honorary title specially given to Goering by Hitler.

However, Shirek is not tailor-made for someone now, this is a higher glory, and obtaining it will require very high merit, prestige and seniority, all of which are indispensable.

Like a carrot in front of a donkey, this glory, right in front of the eyes of the generals, inspires them to continue to fight for the Empire, and it is under this idea that Ciric did not become a marshal now.

After all, there are still many battles to be fought in the future, the end of the French campaign, the Battle of Britain, and a big hairy bear waiting to be taught a lesson, and these honors need to continue to inspire the generals to keep pursuing.

Don't look at the Marshal Rundstedt now, he has come to an end, this Imperial Marshal will belong to Guderian and Rommel in the future, they are the real pillars of Germany.

In addition to high-ranking generals, there are also junior officers, and even ordinary soldiers, who will be rewarded for their bravery in battle! The planned Iron Cross, Ciric intends to award more than 20,000 medals.

Many soldiers deserve their own honor, and the Iron Cross is the most important one, which represents the glory of German soldiers, almost every one of them is exchanged for life.

While Ciric was still discussing the details of the award, an adjutant hurriedly walked in and said: "Führer, good news, the French, are officially surrendering to us!" ”

Suddenly, everyone stood up, of course they knew what it meant, the arrogant French, finally surrendered to Germany, and it was a great moment to remember!

"Keitel, you represent us in Germany to attend this surrender ceremony." "The place of surrender was in a train car in the forest of Compiègne. ”

When Ciric said this, everyone's attitude was solemn, and this place, for all Germans, was impressive, because it was the same place where Germany surrendered to the Allies and signed the armistice at the end of the First World War!

France, at last, is going to surrender!

When Renault and his men moved the capital again, he had no hope, and looking around, there was no possibility of a turnaround in France.

In this case, Renault finally lost heart. Could it be that the only way to go for the future of France is to surrender?

With no future in sight, Renault compromised, although he already knew the future, unfortunately, he still did not have the courage to face it, he chose to retreat, Renault resigned as prime minister and left France gloomily, the country that almost disappeared his soul.

Following Renault's resignation as Prime Minister, President Albert Lebrun appointed Pétain to form a cabinet.

Petain immediately made the choice to surrender as soon as he took over the reins of France.

France, it can't go on, at this time, end the war with dignity, and France still has half of the country!

After signaling surrender to Germany, the Germans responded quickly, and Petain sent Charlie Huntsger, the plenipotentiary, to sign an armistice with General Keitel of Germany.

At the end of World War I, France proposed a harsh armistice agreement to Germany, requiring the German government to only have 100,000 troops and disarm the navy and air force.

And now, feng shui is turning, it is the turn of France to surrender, and Germany, of course, will not give France comfortable conditions.

"First of all, the first condition is that the French army will be completely disarmed and handed over to Germany for safekeeping." Facing the French on the other side, Keitel felt that this task was really good.

He liked to see the other person's expression very much, the expression of being strong but having to undress and pose himself, which gave Germany a nice sense of conquest.

Back then, Germany was defeated and retained 100,000 army troops, and now, France is defeated, and all the armies of France cannot be retained!

Charlie, who was on the other side, frowned and didn't say anything.

"Second, France will be divided into two parts: the northern part of France, which occupies about three-fifths of French territory, and the coast of the Bay of Biscay, which we now control, will be occupied directly by our German troops, and France will have to bear the full cost of the occupying forces. The southern and western regions, ruled by the government of Marshal Pétain. ”

Now that Germany has conquered most of France, in these territories, of course, it is directly ruled by Germany, and it is the land that the German warriors ploughed out with their own swords, how can it be returned to France!

As for the areas that were not occupied, they should be handed over to Pétain, and at least half of the country should be retained, which is better than losing them all!

"General Keitel, these conditions of your side are too harsh." Finally, Charlie couldn't help but say: "After the First World War, the treaty we signed was not so harsh." ”

After all, after World War I, France also left 100,000 troops to Germany, and almost all of Germany's territory was preserved, only a small piece was lost.

When Keitel heard this, his face changed: "If you don't surrender sincerely, then forget it, at this time, our soldiers are gearing up, ready to continue fighting, in three days, we will be able to join the Italian army, and at that time, France will not have to surrender." ”

Keitel's words are a threat to Chiguoguo, but they have enough fulfillment significance.

From France's point of view, these conditions put forward by Germany are, of course, excessive, but from Germany's point of view, accepting France's surrender this time is already giving them face.

If France does not surrender, it will not take a few days for France to be destroyed, in fact, when Paris is occupied, it means that France has perished, and now Germany is doing this out of good intentions.

"We need to ask the prime minister for instructions on these conditions." Charlie finally said.

Although he was a plenipotentiary and had come to sign the agreement, he did not dare to agree to such harsh conditions, and left it to Marshal Petain to decide.

When Marshal Petain received these agreements, he did not say much, he just looked faintly at the distant sky.

"This is a kind of training that God has given us, we in France, if we want to exist, we can only endure everything now." Pétain said.

Petain agreed, he didn't have a choice, at least, France was not fully occupied, France still owned half of the country, didn't it? He endured humiliation and agreed to these conditions, still for the sake of the future of France.

He firmly believes in his choice.

On June 3, 1939, on this wagon, General Keitel signed his name on the surrender document with his pen, on behalf of Germany.

The two sides exchanged agreements, and this great historical moment was frozen in front of the lens of the camera.

France, with a population of 50 million and known as the "number one army power", has been defeated in less than 20 days and has become a defeated country!

This surrender agreement spread all over the world, and in an instant, the French people fell into grief.
