Chapter 2001: Change Three

"Well, you can make any decision on my behalf, but after you make a decision, you must notify me. That's it, I will arrange your car back to Paris now." Foch was relieved after speaking. Now, He finally didn't have to think about the annoying rectification issues. Now Foch is a pure soldier to deal with the Germans on the opposite side!

　　 Just as Petain was about to go to Paris, in the French Prime Minister’s Office, French Prime Minister Alexandre Ribeau was exchanging views with a British representative on some issues.

　　 "Are you saying that the British Empire requested that the German ships previously allocated to the French Republic be taken back? The reason?" Prime Minister Ribo asked with a frown.

　　 "The first issue is the transportation of troops. We need to transport a new group of troops from Canada, Australia and New Zealand. As you know, slow merchant ships are easily attacked by submarines. High-speed cruise ships are the fastest and safest option."

"Secondly, the British Empire lost too many merchant ships in the previous period. We need to supplement the size of the merchant fleet. The French can use American merchant ships to transport supplies, while German submarines generally do not attack, but the British Empire cannot. There are very few American ships that will transport materials to Britain. In this case, we can only solve the problem ourselves.” The British representative said.

"It may be very difficult. The merchant fleet of France has suffered heavy losses. These merchant ships seized from the Germans are very important, especially among the large cruise ships such as the Motherland, Hesse, and the Rhine. Now at least there are More than 40 German ships with a total of more than 500,000 tons are serving France. If we return it to you, it will be very difficult for us. For the sake of our friendship, I hope that your country will not make such a decision.” Prime Minister Ribo said nothing. Talk about American ships.

　　At the beginning of the war, the Royal Navy across the four seas seized a large number of German ships, and some of these ships were temporarily handed over to the French for use. These ships belonged to the British in terms of ownership, after all, they were grabbed by the British. Therefore, at this time, the British suddenly demanded to take back the ownership of these ships. More importantly, the crews on these ships are all British, and they will execute them immediately after receiving orders from the British government.

"This is just a notification process. We will make up for the loss of return home transportation capacity in the following time, but these ships must return to the UK after performing their last mission." The British representative is not here to meet with Prime Minister Ribo Talking about this matter, but to fulfill the obligation of notification, tell you that the British have already decided, and the attitude of the French is not important.

　　 “Is it possible to return the large cruise ship used to transport soldiers to you first, but is it feasible for us to postpone the delivery of ordinary cargo ships? We will hand over the ship after your compensation has arrived.” Prime Minister Ribo said.

　　 "I'm afraid this won't work." The British representative said in a tactful tone as much as possible.

"You are undermining the cornerstone of French-British cooperation! At the most critical moment of the French Republic, when the Germans might reach the outskirts of Paris at any time, what the British did was not to help us fight against powerful enemy forces. All sorts of dismantling! If I'm not mistaken, those so-called compensation fleets are just a lie, right? What do you want to do?" Prime Minister Ribo finally couldn't help but erupt!

"Our army is still fighting side by side with you. Our navy is also blocking the North Sea. Our air force defends the French sky when the capital is bombed. We have done all our duties, but our people have found out in the United States. Some familiar figures have appeared." The British representative said calmly.

　　 "Is it exposed?" Prime Minister Ribeau was like a frustrated ball. Obviously, the British were talking about the French representative's appearance in Washington.

　　 "If you have any objections, you can contact our government, and I am only responsible for telling you about this. If you have nothing to do, then I will leave." The representative of the United Kingdom said.

　　 "Damn it! Is this revenge?" Prime Minister Ribo said in his heart. In fact, this is not deliberate revenge by the British, but because after Prince Albert and the British Foreign Secretary Belfort reached an agreement, some of the ships that the British need to hand over to neutral countries are being used by the French, and the Germans Persevering, these ships seized by the British and then loaned to the French for use are also within the scope of the transfer, so the British talents sent this note to the French. As for the elements of revenge for the contacts between the United States and France? This is really hard to say!

　　 And just after Prime Minister Ribeau had dealt with this matter, he received news that the surrounding area of ​​Paris was being attacked, and that the Chief of Staff Petain, who had returned from the front line, wanted to meet him. At this time, Prime Minister Ribo, who was not sufficiently keen on the military, had not thought of what he was facing. He only thought of the existence of some rifts in the relationship between Britain and France, but did not expect that Britain and Germany might have reached a tacit understanding.

　　 "The British took back their merchant ship?" said Petain after a brief greeting ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

　　 "It's like this, and what's worse is that the connection between us and the Americans is known by the British. There have been some problems with the relationship between the two sides." Prime Minister Ribo said somewhat decadently.

　　 "Is this too bad?" Petain sneered. "Mr. Prime Minister, now, you need to listen to me. My words may be a bit shocking, even unbelievable. But in any case, you must listen to them. Because it is related to the survival of the French Republic. Every word must be carefully analyzed!"

"The Germans did not bomb London today, but chose to bomb us. The German fleet began a large-scale transition. The three most powerful bomber wings have moved from the northern line to the center line and the southern line. They have not been there for a long time since arriving in Brussels. The five Bavarian armored divisions mobilized also embarked on a journey to the central front. Do you know what I mean?" Petain said solemnly.

"You mean that the Germans are going to treat us as targets? Didn't the crown prince treat the British as Germany's greatest enemy? Didn't he claim that the dignity and interests of the French Republic could be preserved at the right time? Did he say everything? Is it a lie? Damn, we shouldn't believe him!" Prime Minister Ribo said angrily.

"A week ago, the Kaiser representative came to the Western Front. It was Prince Albert. The other party came very abruptly, because the prince did not understand military affairs, so he suddenly came to the Western Front because of political issues. I feel he The arrival of the Germans has a lot to do with the Germans' adjustment of military deployment, and the time is completely right." Pei Dan said carefully.
