Four hundred and twenty-six. Europe's Reaction (Fourth Update)
Ernst. Alexon. Feng. The news of Baron Bream's visit to Paris by the Generalissimo of the German Empire spread throughout the world in an instant.
The reaction of the British was mixed.
They had already tentatively allowed the Free French movement to hold a military parade in London on July 14 to strengthen France's resolve to resist.
But now, Baron Alexon has uttered one word very clearly:
No!
Baron Alexon and Germany will never allow such a parade!
Britain would have scoffed at such a request from the German side before that, but now it is Baron Alexon who is making such a request in front of the whole world.
After the glorious return of the Baron, the Luftwaffe stopped bombing London, and in some respects it was already clear that Germany and Britain understood it.
The Baron was perhaps the most important bridge between Germany and England.
The bombing cost London dearly, although the British were not afraid of the bombing, as they had the quiet support of the Americans behind them.
However, the bombing still put the British to the greatest test, and even with the covert support of the Americans, such bombing tested the British determination to resist all the time
But now that the bombing had stopped, Britain could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
And the baron's speech clearly warned the British that either the parade of the free resistance movement should be stopped, that is, the "peace" that was distant, but not intangible; Either continue to support, and then there may be an even more tragic war!
Even the British military analyzed that once Germany reopened the war. It is quite possible that Baron Alexon personally commanded the German attack!
That's the scariest thing!
The side, led by Rosen, a general of the British army and deputy general of munitions, was adamantly opposed to the government continuing to allow the Free French movement to continue the so-called military parade. Beware of provoking Germany. This has the added benefit of buying enough breathing time for the UK!
This faction was supported by a large number of dignitaries led by Sir Monrington.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill thought that there was no need to heed any warnings from the Germans, even if the man was a skull baron.
Britain must firmly support the Free French movement, support De Gaulle, and jointly resist the war from Germany!
At the same time, the face of the British Empire must also be taken into account. How could Britain give in to the threat of the Germans?
Not in the past, and not now!
The Free French Movement, led by Charles de Gaulle, was also active in Britain, hoping to gain more support. Ignoring the German threat.
The two factions were at loggerheads there, solely because of a speech by Baron Alexon.
And this may determine the future fate of the United Kingdom
Of course, there is still some time before July, and enough for the British to make a choice.
But. At this time, the mentality of the French is more complicated.
Baron Alexon came. And the will for "peace" was openly expressed.
Although the "peace" in the baron's mouth was somewhat worrying, it was an opportunity for France after all.
Three-fifths of the French territory was in the hands of the Vichy government, and the prospects for the resistance were very bleak.
Moreover, the Baron was in France, and if he had commanded a large-scale offensive by the Franco-German forces at this time, the remaining two-fifths of the territory would have become dangerous
The enemy that the French Resistance will face: it's the Skull Baron!
And accepting his proposal to negotiate may be a good one.
It also seems acceptable if they can get what they want in a peaceful way.
There was also a fierce debate within the French Resistance.
Peace, or war!
The necessary choices must be made!
Although it is very difficult. The leaders of the Resistance had very serious opposing opinions about this.
It was felt that there should be immediate and substantive contacts with Germany and with the Vichy government. Understand the true intentions of the other party, and then take a peaceful approach. A step-by-step seizure of power in France in a bloodless manner.
This faction will be known as the "Bloodless Faction" in future history, and because the former French Finance Minister Jacobson is one of the representatives, it is also known as the "Jacobsian".
Others, on the other hand, insisted that there would be no negotiations with the enemy until all German troops had withdrawn from France. Even if all of France is scorched earth, the war must be carried out to the end!
This faction was called the "scorched earth faction" and was named after the former French Deputy Minister of Defense, Jean Murphy. Headed by Monwa, they are also known as "Jean. Monva Pie".
The intensity of the internal controversy is astonishing. Even the resistance group's internal factions have become more and more chaotic and antagonistic.
Jacobson decided to go it alone, and assigned his secretary Sylanch to begin secret and solitary contact with the Parisian side.
But because of the unfortunate leak of the news, Sealark was "Jean. The Monvaites were arrested and, without trial, executed under the name of "treason".
This time, the "Jacobsians" and "Jean. The contradictions of the "Monva faction" have completely exploded!
Jacobson vehemently denied that Sealac had sent him out, and accused Jean. It was against the law for Monwa to execute a staunch resistance fighter without trial, and it was recommended that a special investigation court be organized to investigate this serious incident!
Since the contradiction has erupted, it cannot be reconciled
It all started with the words of one man:
Baron Alexon!
The man seemed to have a magic wand in his hand that could command his enemies to dance as he wanted.
No tanks, no artillery, a few words already split the enemy internally
What happened inside the Resistance did not affect a person's mood:
de Sade!
This veteran French intelligence officer is also an old rival of Baron Alexon.
He knew too well the power of the Baron.
The Baron's every move will dominate Europe to do what he wants. This man's trip to Paris, all his speeches, were nothing more than some conspiracy, with only one purpose:
The complete destruction of France!
After the German occupation of Paris, de Sade chose to stay and command all the undercover men to help the resistance of the resistance.
Everything was going very well, but it wasn't until Baron Alexon came along that everything changed
He couldn't forget the humiliation that Baron Alexon had brought him, and he couldn't forget the painful past.
If it weren't for Baron Alexon, he would have been promoted to general long ago, instead of being promoted to major general until before the fall of Paris.
Shame must be repaid in blood!
Moreover, Baron Alexon had openly challenged himself, and although he was speaking to all the resistance groups in all of France, it seemed to de Sade that he was simply directed against himself!
Kill him! The only way to wash away the shame is to kill him!
"Tomorrow, Ernst's itinerary is to personally supervise the release of captured Resistance members in the morning, and in the afternoon he will visit sick children at St. Mary's Hospital."
Major Nedaro, one of de Saad's men, said with a copy of the newly published Paris Newspaper in his hand.
It was not difficult to find out about Baron Alexon's itinerary, and it was clearly published in the newspapers.
"Is the message accurate?" With a gloomy face, de Sade asked, "Is it possible that Ernst deliberately spread this news to lure us into falling for it?" ”
"Exactly." "Today we are doing everything according to the published schedule according to the newspaper Paris," said Nedaro.
Speaking of this, he was silent: "General, I have to admit that Ernst is still very bold, and he is not prepared to hide his itinerary at all"
Major de Sade smiled bitterly: "Yes, he is very bold, when he was in Reims, he dared to openly hijack three tanks, and then swaggered away from our round-up, there is nothing in this world that he does not dare to do"
Nedaro had vaguely heard about it, but he didn't dare to ask about the truth, which seemed to be a scar in General DeSade's heart that he didn't want to uncover
"Kill him!" De Sade no longer hesitated: "This is the best thing to do, perhaps the only chance, as long as Ernst is dead, Germany will be in chaos, and our morale will be boosted like never before!" Since he has brought this opportunity to us, what can we hesitate about? ”
"General" Nedaro hesitated: "But I'm afraid this will provoke a massive German retaliation, maybe the whole of Paris will be stuffed with corpses!" ”
"Even if the whole of France is finished, and Ernst is killed, there will still be a day when France will be rebuilt!" DeSade has never been so terrible: "You don't know what it means to be Ernst, I know it." You don't know how important Ernst is to Germany, but I do! I'm not afraid of being blamed or ridiculed, and as long as I can kill Ernst, I can bear any price! ”
Nedaro shuddered, it was the first time he had seen a general so hideous and terrifying.
De Sade took the "Paris Paper" and looked at it carefully: "The Germans must be heavily guarded when the prisoners are released, we don't have many chances to attack, St. Mary's Hospital is a good choice, there are our men, Netaro, I decided to do it there, and you will lead the command, are you willing?" ”
"I do!" Nedaro exclaimed: "I am willing to pay whatever price for the freedom of France!" ”
"You may not make it out alive."
"I still do, no one but me is better suited for this task! General, please leave this glorious task to me. ”
"Nedaro will be the hero of France!" De Sade stood up: "When the day of victory comes, the whole French people will remember you!" ”
"I know it, General, this will be my greatest pride!" (To be continued.) )
