After the defeat of France, the original peaceful pattern of the whole world was completely broken!

Britain resisted stubbornly on Mercury, and the Axis camp had complete control of Venus, while also having its own sphere of influence on Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, etc. None of the remaining powers has made it clear that they want to stand up against the Nazis.

For a moment, it seemed as if the entire human world had chosen to surrender to violence! However, on the Star Castle in the depths of the Shattered Star Zone, Zhao Jian and his subordinates were studying how to contain the expansion of the Axis forces, but most of his subordinates did not think that they alone would have the ability to stop the three powerhouses of Germany, Japan and Italy.

"Admiral, although I don't like to talk about discouragement, judging from the current situation, no matter how you look at it, Germany has won! When they annex Britain on Mercury again, unless the remaining Tang State, the United States and the Soviet Union can unite, no one can fight alone, and they will not be the opponent of the Axis camp! ”

"De Friinger, I admit that Germany's current advantage is indeed great, but they are still far from the 'must-win' agenda. What's more, Germany is currently only swallowing many places, and the original owners of these places will not obediently let the Germans digest themselves. ”

"But this is at most a 'tummy' Cheng dù, right?"

"Do you think Lasa won't kill people?"

“……”

According to the information at hand, Zhao Jian learned that there were resistance groups operating in all the occupied areas under the control of Nazi forces, and the law and order war had almost never stopped. Even Manchuria, Korea, and other places that had been occupied by Japan for more than ten years still harbored anti-Japanese guerrillas. From time to time, these "unstable elements" will cause some trouble for the occupying forces!

But Zhao Jian also understood that these resistance forces, which had no frontal combat capability, were indeed unable to drive away the invaders alone. Without strong external reinforcements, these regimes have been reduced to puppet states, and it is only a matter of time before they are completely annexed.

And at present, the only people who have the ability to be the leaders of the Allied forces are Datang and the United States. Britain is already in a position to protect itself. And the USSR lacked a powerful space navy. Moreover, at the moment Stalin is attacking neighboring Finland with bad intentions, and it is obviously not worth counting on him to be the "savior".

The situation was still not very clear, and Zhao Jian did not dare to assert the historical process in this time and space just based on the historical knowledge of his previous life. Fortunately, when they were making a move, Li Ti, who had traveled thousands of miles from Jupiter, finally arrived, and Zhao Jian also happened to want to ask the empress in China what he thought.

Seeing Li Ti again, the other party's temperament is obviously much more mature than the last time they met, and they seem to be quite reliable. In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, there are quite a few people who believe that the real ruler of the empire is this young and promising auxiliary king. The prestige accumulated by the Li royal family for thousands of years. Let them have a status in the eyes of the people no less than gods.

"It's been a long time, Senior Brother Zhao!"

"Welcome, senior."

After Zhao Jian and Li Ti met, the two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then chatted while walking. Li Ti was very interested in the Qiē on the Star Castle, and Zhao Jian also wanted to know about the situation in China, especially the official attitude towards the Battle of Venus. Do you stay out of the way, or do you want to start doing?

At present, the situation in the Tang Dynasty is good, and the tense period in the early days of the Great Migration has passed. With the agricultural base as a guarantee, the industrial base is rapidly recovering. New warships, new aircraft, and new mechs that have been developed before have begun to be put into full production, and are gradually being installed in the troops.

Coupled with the fact that the Germans were muddying the waters, the Western camp was now fragmented, and it was impossible to organize a "coalition army to encircle the Tang Dynasty". Datang only needs to prepare for another half a year and switch to the wartime system. You can tear up the armistice agreement with Japan and sweep the entire circle of Jupiter.

On May 10, 1940, the German offensive began (Battle "Yellow"). Aerial assaults were carried out on 72 airfields and targets in depth in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, and the German airborne forces occupied many important areas, airfields and bridges in the Netherlands and Belgium. On the right flank of Army Group 'B' of Germany. The Dutch army quickly collapsed under the blows of the Germans,

On May 14, 1940, the Dutch army surrendered. on its left flank. In the early morning of the 10th, the German airborne troops succeeded in a sneak attack on the fortress of Eben-Emar, which held Liege, and the Belgian defense collapsed and retreated to Antwerp and the Maas River area. By May 14, 1940, part of the British and French troops had advanced into this area and galloped to Belgium as planned.

At the same time, the panzers of Army Group "A" crossed the Ardennes on the 12th, broke through the weak French defenses, forced their way across the Meuse by the air force the next afternoon, and began to expand their gains from the Dinan and Sedan areas in the direction of the mouth of the Somme.

Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps took only two days to penetrate the 110-kilometre-long gorge of the Ardennes.

On the afternoon of May 12, 1940, Guderian's three panzer divisions had reached the north bank of the Maas River. At 11 a.m. on May 13, 1940, the Germans dispatched nearly 400 bombers to bombard the French positions and artillery groups on the south bank of the Maas River for five hours. At 4 p.m., Guderian commanded troops to begin a forced crossing of the Maas River.

In the evening of the same day, the 1st Panzer Division had already penetrated into the French positions and broke through into depth. The 2nd and 10th Panzer Divisions also crossed the Maas River in the evening. On the same day, Rommel's 7th Panzer Division, which was part of Hort's 15th Panzer Corps, also crossed the Maas River near Nantes, 40 miles to the west.

The pace of Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps not only caught the Allied forces off guard, but also unnerved the German high command, and Kleist twice ordered Guderian to halt his advance, but he did not hesitate to resign in protest. After the ban was lifted, he was even faster than before.

On May 16, 1940, Guderian urged his three Panzer Divisions to move westward into the Dunkirk area on the east coast of the English Channel.

On May 20, 1940, Guderian swept Amiens and reached the English Channel near Abbeville. On the same day, the German tank corps reached La Manche and divided the Anglo-French-Belgian heavy army group in Belgium and northern France. After that, they moved north and flanked the besieged coalition forces. On the 21st, the new commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, Weygand, ordered his troops to counterattack the German flank in the direction of Arras and break through the front of the encirclement, but without success.

From the morning of May 23 to 24, 1940, Gudry's armoured troops occupied Boulogne and Calais. On the afternoon of the 24th, Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps had reached Graflin, 10 miles from Dunkirk, and Reinhardt's 41st Panzer Corps on its right flank had also reached the line of the Eyre-St. Omer-Gravlin Canal.

The two forces only needed to exert more effort to take Dunkirk directly, and dozens of infantry divisions were constantly following suit. However, on the 24th, Hitler ordered the German armored forces that had advanced to the Eyre Canal to suspend the offensive and let the air force settle the battle, which gave the Allied forces time to organize a defense at Dunkirk. On the 26th, His Excellency ordered the implementation of the "Dynamo" plan to organize the retreat from Dunkirk. On the 28th, Belgium surrendered.

In the Battle of Dunkirk, the British, French and Belgian troops were forced to the sea and suffered heavy losses, and by June 4, 1940, more than 338,000 British and French troops (including 123,000 French troops) had withdrawn from Dunkirk to Britain. Although the Germans won a heavy victory in the battle, the main objective of destroying and capturing the Franco-British army in Flanders was not achieved.

On June 5, 1940, the German High Command, after redeploying its forces, began the "Red" offensive campaign, with the participation of 140 divisions (including 10 tank divisions and 6 motorized divisions), the purpose of which was to crush the French armed forces and force France out of the war. General Weygand, who succeeded General Gammelin as commander-in-chief of the French army, had 71 weakened divisions. Only two British corps remained in France. German Army Group "B" was the first to launch an offensive on the right flank.

On the same day, Rommel's 7th Panzer Division broke through the defenses of the Somme and Aisne rivers, and the Germans, using the tank clusters of the first echelon, began a rapidly developing offensive into the heart of France. The French government failed to organize resistance to the German army, and it rejected the proposal of the Central Committee of the French Communist Party on June 6, 1940, to mobilize the masses to fight back against the invaders and to change the nature of the war into a people's war for the freedom and independence of France.

On 7 June 1940, the 7th Panzer Division divided the French 10th Army, which was defending the Abbeville-Amiens line. On June 3, 1940, the Luftwaffe launched a heavy bombardment of French airfields and rear. At dawn on June 5, 1940, Bauck's preemptively crossed the Somme. The barrage was cut off, and the other German divisions were able to rush forward through this gap.

On June 8, 1940, the 7th Panzer Division reached the banks of the Seine.

On June 10, 1940, the 7th Panzer Division turned north, cutting off the retreat of the French 9th Army and the British 51st Division, which were retreating towards the coast, that night. These units were forced to surrender to the 7th Panzer Division on 12 June 1940. After the offensive of Army Group "B", Army Group "A" of Rensted on the left flank also launched a river crossing offensive on the Aisne River on 9 June 1940.

That night, the 1st Panzer Division of the Gudeli Installation Corps forced a crossing of the Aisne River.

On June 10, 1940, Guderian's corps defeated the French armored forces and broke through the right flank of the French 6th Army. On June 17, 1940, the German mechanized troops entered the Swiss border town of Pantaril and drove through the streets of Paris, cutting off the retreat of the French troops to Switzerland within the Maginot Line.
