Chapter 306: George VI ascends to heaven

Germany's terms were much better than in history, mainly because of the unprecedented success of Limer's successful national easing policy in former hostile countries such as Poland and Ukraine, which prevented Hitler from having the intention of taking France militarily.

The main content of the Franco-German treaty is that France voluntarily joins the European Union and joins the ranks of justice in the struggle against the imperialist countries led by Britain and the United States.

The new Prime Minister of France, Marshal Philippe Pétain, accepted these terms. No French accused the clauses of being too harsh.

Pétain was less than a week into the new government's premiership. After the resignation of Paul Reynaud for refusing to sign an armistice with Hitler, a new cabinet was formed by Petain.

In his eloquent speech, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill called on France to persist in the fight against Hitler, but Petain ignored it.

In his speech to Parliament, Churchill said: "If we stand up to Hitler, the whole of Europe will be liberated, and the whole world will be taken to the vast sunny wilderness." But if we fail, the whole world, including the United States, including the countries we are familiar with and concerned about, will fall into the abyss of a new dark age. ”

Churchill realized that his speech could not stop the German aggression. Because he also admitted that the French campaign was over, the British campaign was about to begin, and the survival of Western civilization was fought here.

Both Britain and Germany claim that their righteous side is the defender of civilization and the builder of peace, and Britain is the largest colonialist country in the world at this time, and Germany has burned the flames of war in every corner of Europe for the sake of its own national living space, are they just?

None of them are good.

Limer met Hitler in a hotel in the French town of Compiègne:

"Hey! Hitler. ”

"Li Mo, you played well, very beautiful, I knew you wouldn't let me down, what did you come to me for?"

"Of course my Führer, I think, I want to ......"

"Say, you have achieved such a great honor for Germany this time, and I should reward you, so I have decided to promote you to the rank of lieutenant general, to serve as the commander of the 15th Panzer Army, and also to serve as the deputy commander of the 15th Army."

Hitler was generous this time, of course, there will be more promotions in the Wehrmacht because of the French campaign, for example, Guderian will also be promoted to the rank of marshal, as long as the German officers can win the battle, Hitler will not be stingy in rank, and this is also the case in history.

Li Mo couldn't imagine that Hitler suddenly threw a peach to himself, and this peach was still relatively large, but Li Mo still had to say his opinion, that is, he hoped that Hitler would stop implementing the "Sea Lion Plan". At this time, Germany really had no way to start a war with these countries at the same time, Germany could only deal with one with all its might, and at the same time accumulate strength and wait for a strategic decisive battle with Britain and the United States, but the premise was that the British army in North Africa must be knocked to death with a stick, so that Germany could obtain the resources of North Africa, which was the only condition and hope for Germany to win.

"Hey! Hitler, thanks to the great Führer for his cultivation, the ministry will always be loyal to the holy Germany, loyal to the great Führer, today I would like to make a suggestion to the all-knowing and omnipotent Führer, that is, to stop the Sea Lion project immediately, let us free our hands, solve North Africa in one fell swoop, and then use the endless oil resources of North Africa to engage in a strategic decisive battle with Britain and the United States in return. ”

……

When Hitler heard Li Mo say this, his sunny face just now instantly darkened, and Li Mo was also uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know what decision Hitler would make.

Hitler was silent, slowly sat down in his chair, and began to think, while Li Mo also stood cautiously in the center of the room, Li Mo felt that time was like a world so long.

"Li Mo, what you said is also reasonable, but the Wehrmacht is determined to fight, this is the first reason, and the second is that from the perspective of the French campaign, the Anglo-French alliance is an army like tofu scum, and it is impossible to be the opponent of our German ** team, so our sea lion plan will still be implemented."

Li Mo had no choice, he personally came forward to persuade Hitler, but he failed to change Hitler's opinion, it seems that this sea lion plan must be implemented, at this time the Italians in North Africa were beaten by the British, Mussolini has asked Hitler for help several times, Li Mo just wants Hitler to agree to send troops to North Africa.

Germany absolutely could not compete with Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union in the early stage of the war for naval and air force consumption, and Germany absolutely could not afford to consume it. The weapons production capacity of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union is seven times that of Germany, for example, a German plane beats down seven planes of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, and then he is also shot down, such a one-to-seven record can only be regarded as a war of attrition, what does Germany take to consume, Germany absolutely does not have that resources and financial resources, not to mention that the three fronts are enemies.

Unable to continue to persuade Hitler, Limer randomly submitted his resignation to Hitler:

"Great Führer, I reserve my opinion, I think that at this time we absolutely cannot carry out the Sea Lion Plan, if the Führer must insist on carrying it out, I can only choose to resign, I ask the Führer to approve my resignation from the post of former enemy commander on the Western Front, and then take the Fifteenth Army to support the North African front.

For there are now two million Wehrmacht troops in France, and there is no need for our troops, and I ask the Führer to grant my request, and our ally, Italy, is now in a bitter war, and I know that they are approaching their last moments. ”

Hitler thought about it a little and agreed to Limer's request, and that afternoon Limer and Rommel began to organize a large number of trains to transport their troops of the Fifteenth Army. At this time, the establishment of the 15th Army was finally full, with a total of three corps, an armored corps, a mechanized infantry corps, and a paratrooper corps.

The Chief of the General Staff of the High Command, Keitel, was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Western Front, Catherine was also the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, and the rest of the personnel changed little. Li Mo is not obsessed with power at all, and other senior officials of the National Defense Force also have to admire Li Mo's character.

……

The shocking news, "The King of England was killed by a German plane." ”

The British people were already living under the indiscriminate bombing of German planes, and suddenly the news that their king was blown up and killed made the entire British people more pessimistic and desperate, the British Air Force led by Churchill has achieved a lot of achievements, but the ordinary people of Britain don't care about you, don't underestimate the influence and appeal of the king who has been inherited in Britain for thousands of years.
