In fact, the order given by the Ming High Command to Army Group Center was to sweep the coastline, and the task of attacking Paris was to be entrusted to Army Group South, which was making a breakthrough from the Ardennes Forest area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was only in the face of this great honor of capturing the enemy's capital that the commanders of both Army Group Center and Army Group Toulon were playing the sidelines and sent troops towards Paris.

In the face of this situation, Zhang Cheng can only choose to acquiesce. Soldiers pursue honor, and on the premise of not affecting the main strategic goals, Zhang Cheng has no choice but to acquiesce. It is impossible for him to strongly oppose such an issue.

In fact, the French themselves are very conflicted at the moment. They are not willing to give up their land, and no country is willing to give up their land. It's just that the strength of the Ming army makes them unable to resist, so they can only choose to temporarily retreat and wait for the counterattack of their powerful allies. Although there is little hope, it is better than no hope.

As with other allies who fell under the iron heel of the Ming army, it was generally those in power who held such thoughts. Because Zhang Cheng did not accept any form of negotiation, they were not willing to lose everything and be reduced to a dried corpse hanging on the gallows. So even if there is even the slightest hope, they will cling to it.

But not everyone is like those in power who want to resist to the end and never surrender. At least the vast majority of people are not willing to leave their homeland and go to an unknown country to continue a hopeless war that could cost their lives at any time. The successive defeats have deprived them of the last ounce of hope for victory. With the exception of the troops who had initially followed orders to England, the French themselves exploded when it became known that they had gone to England to abandon resistance in France.

The French army was divided. A small number of men chose to continue to obey the government's orders to assemble and retreat towards the coastline and prepare to sail to England, although these troops were not numerous. At this time, most of the armies still in mainland France were divided into two factions. One is the Young Zhuang faction led by de Gaulle, who advocated resisting to the end on their own soil, and they really couldn't fight guerrilla warfare, and only when they had to do so would they consider taking refuge in England.

On the other hand, Henry. Philip. The capitulation faction led by General Petain. They believe that in this desperate environment at this moment, France has no reason or strength to continue to persevere. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices and to allow as many sons and husbands as possible to return home and avoid more senseless deaths, they advocated surrendering to the Ming army and ending the damned war.

The French army was arguing about this and did not give in to each other. This internal confrontation not only led to the collapse of the morale of the army, but also greatly hindered the implementation of the various strategic plans that had been established.

The troops on the front line were almost powerless in the face of the rapid advance of the Ming army, and most of them collapsed at the touch of a button. Most of the French troops that really had the fighting power and will to fight had been wiped out in the fierce battles in North Africa and southern France. The rest of the French army consisted mostly of peasants desperate to return home.

Compared to the French army, which was in great chaos, the American expeditionary force was much more sober. They're the real away guys, and they're absolutely hell-bent on leaving. After the French army fell into disarray, the commanders of the American expeditionary force quickly made a judgment and ordered the American troops everywhere to immediately retreat towards the coastline.

The U.S. troops moved quickly, but the Ming army moved even faster.

At the beginning of September, the armored units of Army Group Center of the Ming Army marched north from the Arras region to capture Dunkirk and Calais, blocking the nearest road to Britain. Subsequently, the Ming army attacked and advanced along the coastline, capturing all the seaports and fishing villages one by one.

On September 7, the Ming army surrounded Le Havre, north of Paris, and nearly 100,000 American and French troops surrounded the Le Havre area. Without any pause, the Ming army immediately launched an attack on Le Havre, and within forty-eight hours the Allied forces in the encirclement were wiped out.

The Allies mobilized a large number of fleets and air power from Britain across the English Channel in an attempt to aid the encircled Allied forces. However, the weather was fine in the past two days, and the fighter units of the Ming Army Aviation frantically attacked the Allied ships in the strait, destroying and sinking hundreds of large and small ships. In the end, the Allies withdrew less than 10,000 troops by sea from the Le Havre area.

Fortunately, the Americans were fast, and most of the American expeditionary force managed to escape to the shore and board a ship bound for Britain after losing everything they thought they didn't need.

By the time the Americans fled, the troops of the Ming Army's Army Group Center, Army Group South, and Army Group Toulon had outflanked Paris from all directions, gradually cutting off the retreat of the defenders of Paris. The French army, mired in civil strife, was powerless to resist and did not want their capital to be destroyed. On September 8, they declared Paris an undefended city, and the French government moved to Nantes.

At this time, most of the French territory had fallen under the iron heel of the Ming army, from Bordeaux to Lyon, from Le Havre to Orleans, everywhere had been planted with the golden dragon banner of the sun and moon of the Ming Dynasty. The French collapsed at a pace far beyond everyone's expectations. Not to mention the allies, even the Ming army felt incredible. The French at this time did not even have the will to fight as much as the Belgian army.

It was only at this time that the infighting of the French erupted under great pressure. Neither side can convince and deal with it, so it can only do its own thing. De Gaulle and others changed their minds, and in addition to leaving part of the army disguised as ordinary people to continue guerrilla resistance, they chose to retreat with a large army to Britain to continue fighting.

Pétain and others chose to surrender to the Ming army.

The French army of nearly four million not only did not put up the same stubborn resistance as the Germans, but even fell short of the Dutch and Belgians.

Because of the infighting, a lot of time was consumed, and many French troops were caught up and surrounded by the Ming mechanized corps on the way to retreat. In the end, the number of French troops who managed to reach Britain was even less than 400,000. The rest of the army either took off their uniforms and became deserters, or became prisoners of war of the Ming army.

On September 10, the Ming army entered Paris. Four days later, the Ming army occupied Nantes. After another three days, the Ming army reached Brest on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and completely occupied all the coastline.

At this point, the whole of France fell into the hands of the Ming army. Millions of French troops and hundreds of thousands of American expeditionary forces were sent to prisoner of war camps. At the same time, the Ming army also seized a large amount of military supplies and equipment.

After the fall of France, the entire Eurasian continent has completely belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no longer a hostile place. And the Ming Dynasty, which occupies the world island, has also firmly grasped the initiative and dominant position in this war.

If there is no decisive force to make a change, such as an alien invasion, a super infectious disease outbreak, the advent of an atomic bomb, and so on. There is no doubt that Da Ming won this war.

Although the victory was already in hand, the Americans' atomic bomb development plan still left a haze in Zhang Cheng's heart. Unwilling to accept any nuclear blackmail or to expose his military to a nuclear attack, Zhang Cheng was determined to end the war before the Americans put the weapon into battle.

And to do that, you have to land on American soil.

In the Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, Zhang Cheng looked at the huge world map hanging in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the world island that had been completely dyed with Ming gold. However, when his gaze turned to the northwest corner of the World Island, he frowned slightly.

The British Isles, in fact, are just two large islands. Hundreds of years ago, when I first communicated with the British, I learned that it was composed of England, Ireland, and Scotland, and that it was an island country. Therefore, it is taken for granted that it is three islands. This misunderstanding has become a habitual saying after many years.

It was the most important stronghold of the Ming Dynasty in Europe before the war, and Zhang Cheng's starting road was also completed there. At this time, when the entire world island was returned to the Ming Dynasty, those two small points of red seemed to be unpleasant to the eye.

After the end of the battle on the main continent of Asia and Europe, the most important thing for Daming at this moment is the landing operation on the American continent. Because that's the real journey to end the war. However, Zhang Cheng was also unwilling to let go of the British, so that they could be free from the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the think tanks of the General Staff agreed that as long as the Ming Dynasty made a decisive breakthrough on the American continent, the tiny Britain would inevitably choose to surrender under the pressure of the whole world. However, Zhang Cheng did not want to let the army sit idle, and he still remembered the idea of holding military parades in Berlin, Paris and London within the year.

Now the military parade in Berlin is about to begin, Paris has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and in the end only Britain remains.

Zhang Cheng ordered the General Staff to begin drawing up a battle plan for attacking Britain, and it was imperative to occupy LinkedIn within the year. As for the battle to land on the American continent, it was also launched at the same time, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty at this time was enough to carry out two large-scale military operations at the same time.

On 19 September, Zhang Cheng held a grand military parade on Linden Street in Berlin to announce the strength of the Ming Dynasty to the people of the occupied areas. 100,000 elite soldiers were inspected by Zhang Cheng, and they walked across Linden Street under the complicated eyes of Berlin citizens, paying tribute to Zhang Cheng.

Before the parade began, Xiao Hongbao successfully eliminated an assassination attempt against Zhang Cheng. Many spies from various countries were captured, and then the latent forces in the Ming army were also uprooted. Hundreds of people were implicated, most of them tried by military tribunals and shot, while the rest spent the rest of their lives in the cold Siberian winds.

After the grand military parade was over, Zhang Cheng went to the Essen region of Germany to visit the German black technology laboratory, and then went to Paris for another military parade.
