Chapter 335

On October 1, 1939, Marshal Pétain, Prime Minister of Gaul, announced in Vichy that Gaul formally surrendered to the Third Reich. Order the Gallic army to lay down their weapons and stop resisting.

He also called on the troops of the Third Reich to stop attacking. He would personally go to the Iron Tower City to negotiate with representatives of the Third Reich to end the war.

Marshal Pétain claimed in his surrender declaration that the Gauls had done their best on this battlefield and had paid a heavy price, and could no longer continue the war. Choosing to surrender is also a last resort. I hope that the Third Reich can forgive the country of Gaul and treat the people of Gaul well.

The Third Reich was very excited about the surrender of Gaul.

You know, it only took a month from the launch of the blitz against the entire Western Europe to the announcement of Gaul's surrender!

Such results are undoubtedly enough to shock the whole world.

In other words, it was enough to scare the whole world.

Previously, it took the Third Reich less than three weeks to defeat Bolan. This has attracted the attention of all countries. However, Bolan's strength is undoubtedly much weaker than that of Gaul. In addition, the Bear Alliance took advantage of the situation and launched an attack on Bolan. In fact, it was the Third Reich and the Woolly Bear Alliance that divided up the country. It is understandable that Bolan was quickly dealt with.

But this time it was different. The Third Reich was dealing with many countries in Western Europe on its own. Moreover, the enemy is not only the Kingdom of Gaul, but also the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Flanders and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.

Needless to say, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has not exerted much power at all, which is equivalent to soy sauce. But the Kingdom of Flanders was different. It mobilized a total of 700,000 troops. The Sun Never Sets Empire also dispatched an expeditionary force of up to 1.2 million people. In addition, the Gallic Kingdom mobilized a full six million troops.

In the end, they were still easily defeated by the Third Reich. In particular, the troops invested by the Third Reich were only less than half of those of Western European countries.

It can be seen from this that one can imagine how powerful the military power displayed by the Third Reich was.

This is naturally a huge shock to all countries.

After Marshal Pétain announced his surrender, he was about to leave for the Iron Tower City to conduct peace negotiations with representatives of the Third Reich. However, before that, Marshal Pétain summoned a Gallic general.

He was General Charles de Gaulle.

Although, the current General Charles de Gaulle is just a small brigadier general. There are only eight hundred generals of this rank in Gaul, if not one thousand. However, Marshal Pétain looked at Chardert differently.

You know, as early as 192, Xia Gaole was working under Marshal Pétain. At that time, Marshal Pétain was in charge of the work of the Gallic General Staff.

In 193, he served in the General Secretariat of the Ministry of Defense in the tower city of Chardai. During this period, with the permission and support of Marshal Pétain, he published many articles and held many lectures at the Military Academy.

Charles de Gaulle has always been deeply appreciated by Marshal Pétain. It is precisely because of this that he was able to be promoted to brigadier general and become a member of the generals before he was fifty years old.

You know, it is not easy to become a general in the Gallic army with a rigid system. Almost all the generals are old guys.

Under the care of Marshal Pétain, General Charles de Gaulle will undoubtedly be able to rise to prominence.

But it is a pity that the sudden outbreak of the war and the defeat of the Gallic Kingdom completely ruined Charles de Gaulle's future.

"Marshal, why should we surrender to the Third Reich? Although we lost miserably on the battlefield. But we still have over a million troops. We also have vast overseas colonies. We can even lead the army to fight guerrillas. Even if we withdraw from the mainland and go to the colonies to continue resisting the Third Reich, there is no problem at all! But now, we actually surrendered to the Third Reich. This is a shame!"General Charles de Gaulle looked sad and angry.

A trace of loneliness flashed in Marshal Pétain's eyes.

Of course he didn't want to surrender if he could. No one wants to be a traitor.

"General de Gaulle, there is no way around this. We have failed now. If the war continues, it will cost us even more. Rather than doing this, it is better to surrender now, which can further preserve Gaul's strength and prepare for its future rise."Marshal Pétain said

"Marshal, after we surrender to the Third Reich, will there be a future? asked General Charles de Gaulle

"Of course there is a future! The Third Reich was very powerful. However, this does not mean that the Third Reich will always be strong. The Third Reich had too many enemies. The Sun Never Sets Empire has not surrendered, they will continue to resist. And the Woolly Bear Alliance, which is entrenched in Eastern Europe, will go to war with the Third Reich sooner or later. Even the Eagle Country on the other side of the ocean may join the war soon. No matter how powerful the Third Reich was, it would be impossible to defeat so many powerful opponents at the same time."Marshal Pétain is obviously not optimistic about the Third Reich.

"Marshal, if this is the case, why did you agree to surrender to the Third Reich?"General Charles de Gaulle was very puzzled.

"General de Gaulle, the Third Reich may lose in the future. However, at least Gaul could not hold on any longer. So, we must surrender now to save our country. However, our resistance to the Third Reich cannot stop here. I hope you can raise the banner of resistance to the Third Reich. Go to Alghurrija and Tunisia and lead our troops in the colonies to continue the resistance against the Third Reich. In the future, if the Third Reich is defeated, you will be able to regain your country. By then, our country of Gaul will still be one of the victorious countries. We can still restore our country's glory. Of course, if it fails, if the Third Reich wins the final victory. Then our situation could not be worse than now."Marshal Pétain said.

The cunning Marshal Pétain obviously wanted to hedge his bets. In this case, no matter what the final result of this war is, the country of Gaul will no longer suffer.

General Charles de Gaulle understands After understanding Marshal Pétain's intention, he couldn't help but nodded.

"Well, Marshal, I know what to do." said General Charles de Gaulle._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
