Chapter 320: The French Navy

In the novel, www.biquge.info as a traverser, as a traverser, if you know that something bad will happen, but you can't take precautions in advance, it can only mean that this author is giving the opponent a reverse golden finger and his own mentally handicapped aura.

Hannah and Lin Han will not open such a reverse golden finger, these two utilitarian ideas, what they love to do most is to prevent it from happening and nip a crisis in the bud.

Historically, the British Navy attacked the French Navy's catapult operation, how could Lin Han and Hannah be negligent in such a serious incident?

It's just that the attitude to the future fate of the French Navy, Hannah is now a little complicated.

After the defeat of France, the French navy had no more than three destinies: one was to join the German side, the second was to join the British and American sides, and the third was to strictly maintain neutrality.

Joining the German Navy was simply impossible in terms of Franco-German feuds. As for the capture of the French fleet, this is basically impossible, and the main force of the French navy is almost entirely in Moroccan ports in North Africa, which is really beyond the reach of some whips.

The first element could not succeed, and as a result, the French Sea was left with only two options: to join the Anglo-American or to remain neutral.

For Germany, the second is absolutely impermissible, and the third, it is too dangerous.

Although, for now, the French Navy has declared itself "neutral" after the defeat of France. However, this neutrality was one that made the Germans extremely uneasy.

Judging from the current attitude of the United States, the possibility of war between Germany and the United States is increasing, and under such circumstances, no one can guarantee that once the United States enters the war, once this extremely important bargaining chip is dropped, the French Navy, which has always been "neutral," will not turn into the arms of the Americans at a critical moment.

Therefore, after the surrender of France, the people who most wanted to finish the French navy were not the British, but the Germans, because the former still had the illusion of having their former allies join.

Germany could not afford the risk of "neutrality" of the French Navy. However, since France had already announced its surrender and the German peace treaty had been signed, it was inconvenient for the German side to tear its face against the French navy at this time. And at present, due to the geographical location, it is impossible to destroy the French navy far away in North Africa.

Therefore, the Germans not only did not want to stop the possible catapult operation launched by the British, but were happy to see it happen. The German naval staff under Hannah's control did not care at all about the fate of the French Navy in the event of a repetition of the historic Catapult operation. All she cared about was how to use the opportunity to stab the fragile British again.

The current British government is quite reluctant to maintain the war, and although the anti-war voices of the people are suppressed by various forces, and the British people are also very strong, there are limits to these. If the British navy could be severely damaged again, as was the case in the previous three naval battles in the Norwegian Sea, it would not necessarily force the British to withdraw from the war.

Before and after the Battle of France, the German Navy had already gained a certain upper hand over the British Navy, but the British Navy's geographical advantage and the speed of their turtle warfare by hiding in the harbor to avoid the battle made the German Navy's idea of fighting a decisive battle with its opponent repeatedly failed. Although the German Navy could force the Royal Navy to come out for a decisive battle by sending its main forces into the Atlantic to break diplomatic relations, the current ambiguous attitude of the United States and the fact that the US Navy openly escorted the British fleet made the Germans very jealous.

However, the French navy was now confined to Morocco in North Africa, and if the British wanted to attack the French navy, their capital ships would inevitably leave the mainland, so that the opportunity to annihilate the British navy would come. (To be continued......)
