The Naval Resistance Army rose to fame in this Dunkirk evacuation and became famous in Europe. As for offending Germany in this great retreat, Li Guang didn't care. Is there so much righteousness between countries?

A by-product of the Dunkirk retreat was the development of a business promoted by Professor Yuan in the UK. In Uruguay, the Tangcheng Development Zone needs capital, talent, and everything. This rescue operation gave the Navy's resistance a very good reputation, especially in the minds of the Belgian people, the Navy's resistance army was simply flawless, and the angels were nothing more than that. Li Guang's rescue was conditional for Britain and France, but for Belgium, it was all selfless help like Lei Feng, so the first to start a large number of immigrants to Uruguay were the Belgians.

The direct benefits of the Maritime Resistance Army's trip are arms and a few pieces of land, but the indirect benefits are unpredictable, and reputation is the bridge to the interests.

After leaving Dunkirk, Li Guang's good mood did not last long. The freeship was extremely slow in its overweight and could only crawl like a snail on the sea at a speed of less than seven knots.

On 5 June, the Liberty was just out of the range of the German fighter threat. Calculating the voyage, if you reach Cape Verde at this speed, I'm afraid it will take ten days.

The freewheels designed by Oolong Shipyard have obvious advantages and equally significant disadvantages - they are really slow enough. In this regard, the gap is too big compared to the PC number, and the PC number can easily run a speed of 16 knots in the case of overload.

This speed naturally made Li Guang worry as a whole, but he was powerless to change it. The guano ship did not carry much cargo, but the weather made it impossible for Li Guang to adjust the load of the two ships.

Li Guang seemed to be leisurely on the guano boat, but his mind did not rest for a moment. The supply and ammunition on the Liberty and Guano ships are a real windfall, and the slightest negligence on the seemingly calm sea can cause irreparable damage. The task of escorting the pickup and three submarines is still daunting. Even if it is separated from the North Atlantic, it cannot be said to be safe, and it may even be attacked in the South Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean.

It is difficult to say whether the reputation of the Naval Resistance Army in Dunkirk would have been attacked if it had reached the ears of the people themselves or the Germans.

The world is unpredictable, and Li Guang was most worried about the enemy's sneak attack, but in fact, it was the unpredictable weather in the North Atlantic that delayed the voyage. In June, the weather in the North Atlantic is eerie. From June 5 to June 16, the 11-day voyage was either torrential rain or strong winds, and sometimes heavy fog. The fighters of the Maritime Resistance Army have been adrift at sea for two or three months, but they have not endured more than ten days of torture in the sea, including Li Guang, almost all of them have been tortured enough by the capriciousness of nature.

This weather seriously affected the voyage of the Liberty, and it was not until the 12th that the fleet crossed the equator, and the 17th was still 300 nautical miles from Cape Verde.

Although the distance is still far away, Li Guang is relieved that the weather has finally cleared. At noon on the 17th, the weather was clear, the sea was calm, and in the rare good weather, Li Guang stood on the deck and stretched his waist, which was rare to relax for a while.

For this batch of supplies, the Maritime Resistance Army traveled thousands of miles and suffered more than 70 casualties, including eight killed. Eight brothers fell in a foreign land. Li Guang pondered whether it was worth it or not, and chatted with Qin Zhan.

Qin Zhan said: "It's worth it, if there is such a chance, let's do it again." ”

Qin Zhan followed Xu Zhan to fight with the Yue army, he knew that the Chinese army in the country, and many troops still had cold weapons and equipment. In order to kill a Japanese army tank during the battle, nearly 100 casualties were inflicted. At that time, if there was an anti-tank gun, or an anti-tank gun, nearly 100 hot-blooded men would not have to hate the battlefield so much.

The beautiful time was really short, and before Li Guang could stretch his lazy waist, he heard the observer report loudly: "The unknown fleet is approaching from the rear. ”

Li Guang ordered the whole army to be on alert while standing on the bridge and raising his binoculars. Soon, everything became clear. Catching up from behind was a huge fleet - the French Navy.

Seeing the scale of this fleet, Li Guang's first thought was -- big. The fleet is so large that you can judge just by looking at the figures of the battleships that there are at least two battleships, plus destroyers, and nearly ten cruisers.

This kind of force, except for the three submarines of the Maritime Resistance Army, which may escape, a free ship, a guano boat and a pickup truck are not able to fight back at all. In fact, there is no need to think about fighting back at this time, it is impossible to even escape, fortunately it is the French Navy, which is not an enemy.

Li Guang wondered in his heart, what did the French want to do when they sent such a huge fleet to Africa?

Li Guang has a slight idea of the tragic ending of this world-ranked navy in World War II, as if it was finally coerced by the British Navy and the German army to sink into the French military port of Toulon in the Mediterranean. But the specific time is not clear to Li Guang.

Whatever the purpose of the French sending out the fleet, it should not be against themselves. Although Li Guang knocked on the bamboo poles of the French and British in Dunkirk, the news of the land cession was still controlled by the British and French authorities at the top level. Of course, to be able to lead such a large fleet, the commander must also be a high-ranking member of the French army. However, the good deeds of the Naval Resistance Army in Dunkirk have a greater influence.

After making up his mind, Li Guang immediately ordered the signal soldiers to send a signal to identify themselves. Li Guang's mind turned sharply, and he quickly gave several orders to Quan Yonghai, the commander of the submarine, and Huang Zhonghua, the captain of the destroyer Pickup.

Soon Li Guang knew that the European navy had a virtue, and when he saw the fleet, he had to inspect it. You must know that this is already the South Atlantic, an African sea.

The French navy that lost the battle turned out to be the same, as soon as Li Guang gave the order, the French battleship sent a signal.

At first, the PC was intercepted by the British Navy, but fortunately it was relieved by German submarines. This time, Li Guang could not count on German submarines, and could only rely on three submarines and one destroyer of the Maritime Resistance Army.

Since the last time they encountered the incident of being forcibly inspected by the British Navy, Li Guang and several staff officers have made a plan for it.

In the plan of the Maritime Resistance Army, the pickup truck stayed away as soon as possible, and the submarine dived on standby.

More than half an hour later, Li Guang knew that the defeated French were not good birds. Three destroyers were separated from the French fleet to form an encirclement of the two ships of the Maritime Resistance Army - and they were asked to come on board for inspection.

Check the birds, the ship is full of munitions, and the French, who are as frightened as lost dogs, are now short of weapons, whether they will want to hack their own batch of munitions, it is really unpredictable.

It was certainly unwise to resist hard, and there was no need for the Naval Resistance Army to fight the French army. Check it, check it, anyway, the Naval Resistance Army also has a backhand. Li Guang's idea is good, but it changes faster. After the French Navy hastily boarded the ship for inspection, it then invited Li Guang to the flagship of the French fleet.

This is very different from when he encountered the British [***] ship, Li Guang didn't know what the problem was, but he was killed by a knife, so he had to go on the French warship to ask what was going on, Li Guang thought that how to say that he had just rescued a group of British and French troops in Dunkirk, and the French might not be shameless enough to rob the first.

The French use the phrase: "please". Li Guang naturally couldn't show weakness, so he boarded the French boat to meet the commander of the French fleet. General Soul. Later, Li Guang learned that the battleship on his board was not the flagship of the French army, but the battleship "Strasbourg".

The French are not good at war, but their brains are quite flexible. They could see clearly that the Liberty ship and the guano boat were full of anti-aircraft guns. And that's not all, the most important thing is that the flagship battleship "Richelieu" had a French naval officer in charge of liaison on the beach of Dunkirk - he knew very well that the naval resistance army had picked up a lot of garbage.

From the words of the French, Li Guang judged that the French did not find the destroyer Pickup. The design principles of the pickup once again helped the Naval Resistance Army. Unlike ordinary destroyers, the Pickup does not have a tall mast, and although this design is not enough for the Pickup, it is also concealed enough. This is a blessing in disguise.

But this grievance is really big, is this a surrender or a capture? The defeat of the French was so arrogant, which really made Li Guang very angry.

On 7 June, when the German army broke through the French defense line on the Somme and approached Paris, an extremely fierce and complicated struggle was waged between Britain and France over the issue of France's request for a peace truce from Germany, and a very delicate crisis appeared in the relations between the two countries.

Winston Churchill, Britain's wartime Prime Minister of the United States, saw that France's defeat in the European War was a foregone conclusion, and his concern for the security of the British Isles outweighed the safety of French Paris. Churchill was particularly concerned about the French fleet, fearing that the French fleet would fall into German hands, adding strength to Nazi Germany and posing a serious threat to Britain's security.

When the British political axe learned that the French political axe was preparing to sue for peace with Germany, he immediately proposed to the French political axe to sail the French fleet to the British port, but the French Renault political axe refused. Commander Darlan, the core figure of the French Navy, who almost built the world's fourth-largest navy with his own hands, is willing to give it up. In order to protect itself, under his orders, the fleet stationed on the Atlantic coast of France left port on the 15th and sailed for the French colonies in Africa. It was such a retreating fleet that Li Guang encountered.

What made Li Guang angry was that the commander of the French fleet actually avoided it, and he did not talk about substantive issues by eating and drinking, and entertaining people. The two ships of the Maritime Resistance Army were escorted to the south.

Hu Bofeng, a staff officer who followed Li Guang, spoke fluent French and chatted with the French soldiers guarding the hatch. Hu Bofeng has studied in France for many years and knows a lot about the hobbies of the French. From the weather to the food, from the culture to the beautiful women, he quickly became acquainted with the French soldiers.

Li Guang finally figured out his bad luck, he was bumped into by the French [***] ship in the vast ocean, and this luck was indeed bad enough. The reason is that the French and Li Guang's destinations are the same.

The destination of this French fleet was the military port of Dakar, a French African colony only two or three hundred kilometers away from Cape Verde. The French soldiers did not reveal all the information, and the core task of this fleet was actually to escort the flagship battleship Richelieu. In fact, by May of '40, the most advanced and powerful French battleship had only completed 95 percent of its work, and it was not yet fully combat-ready for the time being. Fearing damage to the National Treasure-class battleship, the French sent a fleet to the colony of Dakar in Africa.

The French took great pains to escort this national treasure-class battleship with such a powerful fleet. The battleship Richelieu was indeed strong enough, not weaker than the British and German battleships, or even stronger, but it was not yet assembled and did not have full combat effectiveness.

The battleship "Strasbourg" where Li Guang was interned had some problems before going to sea, and it had to be repaired in Cape Verde, so the route of the fleet was exactly the same as that of the Naval Resistance Army. The battleship's mission was to escort the ship, and after its mission, it was to return to Port Oran, the base of the French Atlantic Fleet in Algeria.

Li Guang lamented, this is a big luck.
