ACT446: Free France
At dinner Richelieu returned to the mooring area where his hull was located, and Zhao had already provided the entire platform here free of charge to the French officers and soldiers as an area for their daily activities. When Richelieu returned, he declined the invitation of the officers and soldiers to dinner and returned to the room alone.
As soon as he entered the room, Richelieu threw himself on his fluffy bed, hugging the pillow and curling his body. Although she had been almost soaked in water for the afternoon, Richelieu always felt like she was now covered in the smell of that person, and she couldn't help but think back to what had happened before.
"Feeling...... Not bad ......"
"Taken" Richelieu in an unexpected way, and afterwards Zhao Jian had an endless aftertaste of the "quadruple 15-inch gun", and at the same time, he also felt that it was time for him to do something for the suffering French people. He didn't want to turn this into a "deal", but he didn't want to be a ruthless man either!
In the current world situation, the fascist camp is at the peak of its supernatural state because it has just knocked out France. Germany and Italy have effectively taken control of the whole of Venus, and are trying to join forces to coerce the recalcitrant Britain on Mercury to submit to it.
And their Japanese allies are also busy occupying the empty space left by Jupiter and the Shattered Star Region after the retreat of LinkedIn, France and the Netherlands. Their wanton expansion naturally attracted the attention of the United States.
However, due to the fact that the Axis forces are in the limelight, Jupiter also has a Tang State with a ** attitude, which makes people unclear. Rao is an American with great wealth and power, and he does not dare to act rashly at this juncture.
As for the Soviet Union, which is ambitious in the outermost part but lacks a lot, no one has taken them too seriously for the time being!
It is not difficult for Zhao Jian to see from this pattern of "three sandwiches and two" that the current situation is far more unfavorable for the anti-fascist camp than in another time and space. Britain was isolated, the United States was attacked on both sides, and the Soviet Union simply had difficulty leaving the country to fight because of its naval shortcomings.
Once Japan and Germany break through the last barrier of Mars in the future, and let the two spheres of influence be connected, I am afraid that the advent of the "new order" will really be inevitable!
But compared to anti-fascism. Zhao Jian currently wants to know the true intention of "Broken Dawn". The roots of these guys are in the United States on Mars, but they have made such a move as funding Germany, which makes it really difficult for Zhao Jian to judge the current relationship between countries and their friends and foes.
If you rashly help the wrong person, the joke will be big!
So Zhao Jian found that his biggest problem at present was the lack of intelligence! The broken dawn intelligence network has been in operation for hundreds of years, and the eyeliner is almost all over the world, which makes people unguardable, but his side has never been able to insert spies in the opponent's camp.
This directly led Zhao Jian to fight less passively in several encounters with the broken dawn before and after, and this time, he was not so passive. So after thinking about it, Zhao Jian decided to change the "play" with the other party and create some trouble for those Nazi allies on the other side. Let the other person take the initiative to come to him.
Doing so is dangerous to burn yourself, but it's also a quick way to get results!
"Thor, is there any notable news from the 'Free France' side?"
"It depends on what you want to know, Admiral! To be honest, I don't understand why you should care about this French government-in-exile propped up by the British. Because the British fleet sold its teammates before, this is called Charles. De Gaulle's major general is now not treated well by his own people! ”
The current situation of the "Free France" that Zhao Jian inquired about is similar to that of another time and space.
If the Pétain government was capitulatory in the eyes of the French people, then the Free France led by Charles de Gaulle was an equally shameful group of traitors! The ill-conceived attack by the British made it difficult for Charles de Gaulle, who was in exile in England, to be caught in the middle.
However, he delivered a speech entitled "Letter to the French People". It's been a good response. In order to expand his influence and arouse the will of resistance in the French occupation zone, the British side specially sent several submarines with broadcasting equipment to Venus, and his speech was recognized by many enthusiastic young people.
But at the moment de Gaulle's biggest problem. Still don't have the strength available in your hands! He hoped that the French officers and soldiers who were eager for freedom would take the initiative to contact him, but after a few months, only a few remnants of the French army who had retreated from Dunkirk reported to him.
In addition, the British landlord's family did not have much surplus food, so the funds given to him were very limited. Just that pitiful pound. De Gaulle even had difficulty fitting each of his soldiers with a rifle. So Zhao Jian thought about whether to stretch out his thigh and hug him when the other party was in the most difficult situation.
"Admiral. Are you trying to pull this de Gaulle? ”
"Yes! I want to pull him and France along, so that the Germans don't live so comfortably. If the Germans were restless, their allies would not sit idly by. ”
If possible, Zhao Jian planned to meet De Gaulle, but he didn't know at this time that De Gaulle, who was trapped on Mercury, also had the heart to talk to him.
After Britain began to shrink strategically on all fronts, before the blockade of the new high seas fleet was completed, the vast majority of the colonial fleets that would be outside recalled Mercury to participate in the defense of the homeland. So the fleet that returned from the Shattered Star Zone also brought news about the Richelieu for de Gaulle.
To the other side's anger, but also relieved, the French expeditionary fleet suffered small losses after being attacked by the British. The vast majority of the fleet had managed to escape, and the Richelieu, which had been broken off alone, was rescued by an unknown force at a critical moment.
Through the opponent's superb air flow tactics, the British fleet judged that these Cheng Biting Jin, who were killed halfway, should be the "ghost fleet" that punched Japan and kicked Italy a while ago.
This mysterious fleet is quite powerful, known for its expertise in aviation warfare, and the surprise tactics they used on the Italians have attracted the attention of the navies of various countries. If nothing else, it is likely that the Richelieu is currently with this fleet.
In addition, de Gaulle checked the relevant intelligence in Tongguò and found that although this mysterious fleet mainly fought with aviation surprise attacks, it was very open-minded.
Since its appearance, the opposing side has never attacked any civilian vessels. There are even many unofficial reports showing that the other party has been fighting the space pirates in the Shattered Star Zone, and there are many rescued ships, and all countries have them, giving people a sense of being a thief who is helping the weak.
So de Gaulle, who was in a difficult situation, planned to take the initiative to make contact with this fleet, and if these people were really "righteous partners", he should return the Richelieu to the Free France, who needed her. But before that, de Gaulle had to help Britain hold Mercury! (To be continued......)
