In a word, ask the workers to remove the parts to assemble, Rommel liked to play with heavy artillery, so he chose only two cannons to assemble, 105 mm and 150 mm. It is absolutely no problem to assemble three or five hundred cannons with a pile of various cannons like a few hills.

Finally, the transformation of one weapon is an anti-aircraft weapon. There were a lot of damaged armored vehicles abandoned by the French on the battlefield.

Rommel collected all these damaged armored vehicles in the spirit of never wasting them.

After Rommel repaired these armored vehicles, many of them were converted into self-propelled anti-aircraft armored vehicles, and the vehicle-mounted armament was a quadruple 30-mm anti-aircraft gun.

The power of the quadruple 30-mm anti-aircraft armored vehicle should not be underestimated, firstly, the continuity of fire of the 30-mm cannon was excellent, the rate of fire of each 30-mm gun was 900 rounds per minute, and the rate of fire of the quadruple was 4500 rounds per minute.

Secondly, these anti-aircraft armored vehicles have good maneuverability and can also carry a large amount of ammunition for maneuvering.

Third, a 30-mm machine gun may not be able to fight a tank, but a plane that hits a plane is a big killer, and the planes of World War II will definitely not be able to withstand the madness of the 30-mm machine gun.

Collecting these weapons and equipment is a lot of work, thanks to the cooperation of the Petain government, and of course, the Rothschilds are also secretly contributing a lot.

Rommel collected a large number of abandoned weapons and equipment from France and modified them, which meant that a large number of workers were needed, which virtually solved the employment problem of many workers.

In France, where workers were unemployed after the war, Rommel is now trying his best to increase the number of jobs for workers, and all the factories that had been shut down because of the war have begun to reopen.

An economically prosperous France is what Rommel wants to see the most, a France where all industries are withered, will only provoke more people to revolt, Rommel has regarded France as his own territory, how can he allow this to happen, it is absolutely impossible.

While Rommel was in full swing, something happened that shocked the world and made people laugh bitterly, because of this incident, the French immediately forgot their hatred of Germany, and instead transferred all their hatred to the British.

Of course, Rommel's moderate rule in France also played a huge role, such as Rommel giving freedom and dignity to the French, work and bread, and so on.

There is also the good military discipline of Rommel's army, the rapid recovery of French production after the war, the elimination of gangsters and evil, etc., these measures of Rommel made the French people really not hate Rommel.

Rommel is equivalent to the Germans, and that's what ordinary French people think, they don't hate Rommel, so they don't hate Germany, in fact, ordinary people in any country are very confused.

……

On May 10, 1940, the German army invaded Belgium and the Netherlands, and the British and French forces entered the battle, and the Western European campaign began.

However, the French army, known as the largest power on the European continent and successfully held off the German army for four years during World War I, gave up resistance after only 50 days in World War II.

On the morning of June 22, 1940, an armistice was signed with the German delegation in the car of Marshal Compiègne Forest Foch, outside Paris.

According to the armistice, France handed over most of the French territory, all the port bases on the Atlantic coast, important industrial and rich agricultural areas to the German occupation, while the French Vichy government only retained the colonies of France in the south and French North Africa, which were administered by the Vichy French army, and were not allowed to cooperate with the enemy.

For the French Navy, Article 8 of the Agreement directly stipulates:

"The French fleet, with the exception of those parts which were retained for the defence of the interests of the French colonies and the territories controlled by Vichy, were to be assembled in designated ports and demobilized or disarmed under German or Italian supervision." ”

The reason why Hitler did not directly requisition the French naval forces was, on the one hand, considering the very strong national feelings of the French people, and on the other hand, the colonization of large areas of French North Africa also needed strength to defend, and it was better to let the French defend themselves than to send troops themselves.

He was not afraid of the surrender of the Vichy French army to the Allies, and the state held a great weight in his hands, that is, half of the French territory left for the French to be self-governing.

According to this agreement, the French navy, the fourth largest in the world, was concentrated in the ports of Toulon, Algiers, Port Oran and Casablanca. This is where its misfortune begins

At this time, the French Navy was in a very awkward position, and before it could use its strengths, it had no enemies and no allies, and the question of where to go was plaguing the soul of the French Navy, Admiral Darlan.

In order for the French flag to fly on the French warships, in order to preserve half of France, and for the last remaining dignity of the French, he chose to obey the Vichy government and garrison the southern ports of France and the colonies of North Africa.

But the choice of the French navy greatly displeased the very hard-line British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who could not tolerate the possibility that a strong French naval force would one day become a threat to the British mainland or to threaten its sea lines, either possess it or destroy him.

Churchill meant "what I can't get, you don't want to get". At his behest, the British instituted a military operation codenamed "Project Ballista" aimed at seizing and controlling the French navy.

On 18 June, the aircraft carriers "Hood" and "Ark Royal" arrived in Gibraltar and joined Vice Admiral Samowell's H Fleet in preparation for an operation codenamed "Catapult" to "prevent the French fleet from falling into the hands of the Germans by all means necessary" (Churchill).

On the morning of 3 July, the H Fleet, with the Hood as its flagship, issued an ultimatum to the French fleet stationed in the harbor outside the port of Milksbill, Algeria, demanding that it either join the Royal Navy or sink itself.

The arrogant French did not want to submit to Germany, much less to the British. Admiral Soulr sternly rejected this request.

The British Royal Navy began to attack, and the French army was in the middle of the attack. Admiral Sur fought back, and this became known as the Battle of Mearsbiel.

The patience of the British lasted until sunset. At 5:55 p.m., the battleships "Hood" and "Determination" and "Warrior" opened fire on the harbor, and the French ships also returned fire with heavy fire. The artillery battle lasted more than two hours.

The main guns of the "Hood" fired a total of 56 salvos, and the fire was concentrated on the battleships "Brittany" and "Dunkirk". The 381-mm cannon showed its immense power.

The "Brittany" was hit by bullets one after another, and soon caught fire and sank, and the "Dunkirk" was also heavily damaged. All the French warships in the harbor were sunk or heavily damaged, with the exception of the battlecruiser "Strasbourg", which escaped under the cover of a smoke screen.

More than 1,200 French officers and men were killed, while the British ship suffered minor losses, and the "Hood" was hit by two shots on the starboard side, and four people were slightly wounded.

What was even more unacceptable to the French was that the Germans, who had defeated them, had allowed the French to keep their navy, while the British, their allies who had fought side by side a few weeks earlier, were going to wipe out the French and lose face.

This incident provoked public outrage among the French, leading the Pétain government to sever diplomatic relations with Britain. Darlan immediately ordered retaliatory measures and bombed the British base in Gibraltar.

However, the matter did not end there, after the implementation of the "Ballista Plan," although the strength of the French Navy was greatly damaged, the presence of the battleship "Richelieu" still made the British Navy not feel at ease, and Britain launched another "intimidation" operation against the French naval fleet in Dakar, North Africa.

In the Battle of Dakar, the French fleet stationed in Dakar, supported by batteries and cruisers arriving from home, damaged three British destroyers and inflicted heavy damage on the battleship "Resolute".

France also had two destroyers burned and stranded, and the battleship "Richelieu" was damaged. The French were victorious at the Battle of Dakar, but the British also achieved their main goal - the destruction of the battleship Richelieu.
