Louis stepped forward and said, "This is a disorder, we cannot obey it!" Commander, this man is of unknown origin, but he must be a German spy, and I think he should be locked up directly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Hill looked at Jiang Cheng hesitantly, and Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "2076 people." ”

Hill looked at Jiang Cheng strangely and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Jiang Cheng continued: "I mean 2,076 people, the number of officers and soldiers on your three ships, including a total of 37,423 relatives within three generations, by the way, during the time you went to sea, the families of seven soldiers passed away for various reasons, and I also brought their letters here, and I need you to pass it on later." ”

"You're threatening us?" Hill exclaimed angrily, indeed, what he feared most was his family in the rear, not only him, but the other soldiers were also worried about what would happen to their families in mainland France if the fleet finally decided to surrender to Free France. Don't say anything for the sake of the country, everything should be sacrificed, after all, it is your own children, wife, siblings and parents, no one can give up so simply.

"No, no, no, no, of course I'm not a threat, I said it, I'm here to show you a clear path." Jiang Cheng began to walk around, and continued in French, "Germany defeated your motherland in less than 40 days, I believe you must not be convinced in your hearts, after all, your navy basically has no chance to participate in the war. ”

Although Hill and the others did not speak, they deeply agreed in their hearts that the rapid defeat of France this time was mainly the responsibility of the army, and the navy really did not have much to lose face.

Jiang Cheng continued, "But Marshal Petain has signed a peace agreement on behalf of France and Germany, you should also know that agreement, it is very harsh to France, basically France has become a vassal state of Germany, now you must be hesitating, whether you should surrender under the orders of the Vichy government or join de Gaulle's Free France to continue the struggle against Germany, you have been here for so long, it should be the reason." ”

Hill looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "It's true that we are hesitating, but no matter how we choose, it is much better than taking refuge in you as your mercenary, right?" ”

Jiang Cheng spread his hands and smiled, "How come?" I think that taking refuge in me and becoming my mercenary is the best ending for you, General Hill, and several other generals, France has been defeated, in any case this is a reality, de Gaulle's Free France is just a puppet of the British, I believe you have to admit this, if nothing else, Britain is so blatantly attacking the French Navy, doesn't De Gaulle know? Did he say anything? Have you ever condemned this act of the United Kingdom? None of them! Where does a dog dare to quarrel with its owner? ”

At this time, de Gaulle's reputation was not good, in the propaganda of Nazi Germany and Vichy France, de Gaulle was a rebel who did not obey the orders of the national government, the West and the East are different, the East because Confucianism often pursues orthodoxy and requires sacrificing one's life for righteousness, in foreign wars, even if the government at that time is destroyed, there will be a large number of resistance forces in various places and elect a new national spokesperson, and only when all local governments and armies are eliminated will they basically submit to foreign races. In the West, because the nation has never been unified, mutual annexation between countries is also extremely common, and there are few real deaths between major countries, most of them are ways to cede land to become a protectorate, and they will regain independence in a few decades, so they often do not understand the disobedience of soldiers to the government's surrender order, for example, Slovakia at this time, in the strict sense, can not be said to be a dead country, but there is a Slovak Republic, and the Czech Republic also has a Bohemia and Moravian protectorate, so in history, The vast majority of French overseas armies chose to obey the Vichy government's orders when ordered by the Vichy government and called on by de Gaulle, and this situation did not change until Germany intensified its exploitation of France after the Soviet Union ran into a wall.

Hearing Jiang Cheng say this about De Gaulle, Louis said angrily, "You are not allowed to say this about General de Gaulle, he is a real Frenchman!" ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, in terms of being strong and unyielding, I admire General de Gaulle very much, but in terms of strategic vision, General de Gaulle is still too immature, France is a continental country, and so is China, one of the important reasons why China is now being invaded is that it does not have its own strong navy, but you France originally had it, although it was forced to abandon its martial arts during the naval holiday, but it is constantly reviving under the efforts of General Darlan, but now?" Without the support of Germany, I am afraid that the French navy has become a historical term, whether the war is won by Germany or Britain, can France become a European power without the navy? The British like to play the most is balance, although they are now in danger under the blow of Germany, but they are already planning for the victory after the war, France has no navy, if Germany loses, naturally there is no navy, Europe will become the world of Britain again, you can only use the army to act as a barrier between the Soviet Union, it is really a good calculation. ”

This is actually a statement, after all, Britain was really bad before, all kinds of balance games are played perfectly, one of the important reasons for the initial rise of Japan is that Britain hopes that Japan can contain the development of China and Tsarist Russia, and if Britain really wins in the end, the situation is similar to what Jiang Cheng said, of course, this is under the premise of not considering the United States.

The people who were already suspicious of Britain because of their attack on the French navy could not help but feel even more hostile to Britain when they thought of Germany.

Jiang Cheng continued: "As for Nazi Germany and the Vichy government, the door is closed here, I will say something from my heart, Germany and France have a long history of grievances, including Germany's fault and France's fault, the last war caused great harm to both Germany and France, in fact, the people of both countries were very war-weary, if the two countries sat down at that time to negotiate well, jointly find out the root cause of the war, and the agreement was also formulated for the purpose of peace and preventing the next war, then there would be no war today, The Nazi government in Germany was elected by the German people, and the reason why the German people chose the Nazis was precisely because Britain and France were too strict with Germany after the last World War. ”

Hill had to admit in his heart that France at that time had never thought about Germany's feelings, and in France's heart, it only hoped to take the opportunity to completely defeat Germany, and no one thought that Germany would recover and take revenge so quickly.

Jiang Cheng continued, "In the same way, the contract signed by Nazi Germany and Vichy France is also full of malice, it can be said that it is a revenge contract between Hitler and Germany, the reality that France was defeated by Germany and died is true, and it is also true that Vichy France is a puppet government at this time, China has a saying, national hatred and family hatred, national hatred is always before everything, so if you take refuge in the Vichy government or Germany, you will be eternal national sinners!" ”

"Bastard, according to you, that's not right either! That's not right either! Can't we be lonely ghosts for the rest of our lives? A French officer finally couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's it! In my opinion, it is better to obey the government's orders, after all, they are the government's orders, we are soldiers, and it is natural for soldiers to obey the government. ”

"Nonsense! The Vichy government betrayed France, which even this Chinese knows, don't you know? Although the military should obey the government, it also depends on whether the government represents the nation, and I think it is better to go to England to follow General de Gaulle, even if you die on the battlefield against the Germans! ”

For a while, you said that I was noisy, and I couldn't get along, Jiang Cheng looked at this chaotic situation with a slight smile, and looked at Hill not speaking, Hill looked at Jiang Cheng's smile, his heart was furious, and he shouted loudly, "Quiet!" ”

Everyone fell silent.

"Chinese! What exactly are you trying to say? Hill pointed at Jiang Cheng and yelled loudly.

"Very simply, de Gaulle's free government does represent the freedom of the French nation, after all, he is still nominally independent, and in this war, the national interests of France are what you should consider, but I believe that neither the Vichy government nor the Free France will change the general trend because of your two thousand people, right?" Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Then why don't you think about finding another way?" Let me introduce myself, I am Jiang Cheng, a major general of the Republic of China, and the boss of Weihua Group, and I am also a German Golden Twenty-One Citizen, I believe you also know what this means. ”

Hearing Jiang Cheng talk about his identity, some people were ignorant, but Hill, as a senior general of the French army, is well-informed, and naturally knows what these three identities represent, the Weihua Group is mysterious, there is a lot of speculation in the world, no one knows who the boss is, and the German gold twenty-first level citizen.... Hitler only set himself up at the twenty-third level, although this level does not represent power, but it can be seen that this person's position in Germany, but it stands to reason that people of this level must be core personnel from all walks of life in Germany, why does Jiang Cheng not support them to directly defect to Germany? Hill squinted at Jiang Cheng, not knowing what Jiang Cheng's purpose was.

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I hope you can join my team, independent of this war first, on the one hand, you can make the family that smashed the French mainland not be damaged, on the other hand, you can retain the vitality of the fleet and the French navy, I can assure you, whether it is Free France has the strength to counterattack Germany or Vichy France has the opportunity to be independent, I will let you return to the war, and these three warships will also be taken away by you." ”

"And what are you trying to do?" Louis asked.

"China needs a navy to protect its coastline." Jiang Cheng replied.

"Joke! Even before we started the war, we didn't know who won and who lost when we fought the French Navy and the Japanese Navy, and now you want us to fight for you and the Japanese Navy, then we might as well go back and fight the Germans! A French navy shouted.

"No, no, no, I don't want you to fight the Japanese army now, of course, if you have to, I won't object, I want you to just train a navy, that is, I want you to be a teacher, but if someone comes to attack, I also want you to protect our base." Jiang Cheng continued.

"Base?" Hill asked suspiciously, "We still have a base?" ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It will be soon, so you have to make a choice, do you join Free France now and become cannon fodder for the British, or join Vichy France, or sit back and wait for the general trend of the world to change?" ”

Hill and Louis looked at each other, Hill thought for a while with his hands behind his back, and said, "Please go out first and give us some time to think about it." ”

Jiang Cheng took Zhang Ye and retreated, came outside, looked at the sailors around him, Jiang Cheng said to Zhang Ye, "You wait and pay attention, if they don't agree to join us, you find a chance to leave first, I will destroy the ship and leave, and then you will immediately prepare to salvage the gold on this ship." ”

Zhang Ye asked, "Does the owner need me to stay and help?" ”

Jiang Cheng thought to himself, he was going to lose half of the aircraft carrier, and those who stayed and didn't die couldn't die anymore, so he shook his hand and said, "No need, obey the order." ”

Zhang Ye arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”

About half an hour passed, and officers continued to enter the command room, Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and waited slowly, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and he only saw dozens of people lined up in front of him, led by Louis and Hill and an officer he didn't know.

Jiang Cheng stood up and asked, "I don't know what you're thinking about?" ”

Hill took a deep breath and said to Jiang Cheng, "Mr. Jiang, I hope you can guarantee the safety of our family in France, and promise that when France needs us again, we will be allowed to fight for our nation and country again." ”

Jiang Cheng solemnly said to Hill, "General Hill, I promise you to protect your family in France, and at the same time, when the situation is right, I will let you return to Europe with your warship." ”

Hill nodded, took out his seal, and said to the officers behind him, "Everyone! Now I order the ships in the name of the commander of the detachment to return to the French naval sequence! ”

"Huh!" "Yes! Checkmate! ”

"According to the order of the French Admiralty, all members of our fleet are now retired and join the Weihua group in the name of mercenaries, everyone! Lower the flag! Go to the rank ... Take off your uniform!! Hill's tears flowed instantly, and after speaking, he ruthlessly tore off the epaulettes that symbolized his military rank.

The officers behind Hill cried one after another and tore off their rank epaulettes, and then took off their military uniforms, Jiang Cheng looked at it and felt pitiful, but he was silent, this is the only way for this fleet to transform, Jiang Cheng waited for their emotions to ease up and said, "The military uniforms of our group mercenaries will be sent soon, please wait, in addition, please calm the emotions of the soldiers, and then, please start marching according to my orders." Also, General Hill, please come with me. (To be continued.) )
