Most of the soldiers of the Free French Army are of African descent, and there are also some Asians. De Gaulle and Leclerc only want to leave the glory of regaining Paris to the white soldiers.

This is not fair to the African and Asian soldiers in the Free French Army, but no one cares what they think. The glory of France that fell to the ground must be picked up by the real French, even if it is not complete .

The Second Armored Division was formed to recover Paris. Before the Allied offensive, the tactical arrangements were strictly followed. Many Allied forces took turns as forwards to advance to Paris. After the Second Armored Division arrived on the battlefield, the tactical arrangements were disrupted. Others Allied forces all became supporting roles for the [-]nd Armored Division.

Patton himself also supported de Gaulle in doing so. It was only a matter of time before the Germans failed. The biggest suspense now is whether de Gaulle can be successfully promoted to the position of French president.

Leclerc was de Gaulle's most trusted general of the Free French Army. His Second Armored Division received a batch of the latest "Leopard" tanks in Algiers. These tanks were originally intended to be sent to the Russian battlefield. Changed his mind and gave the tanks to de Gaulle.

Yes, it's free, with no strings attached.

Russia is too powerful now. Tens of millions of troops are a greater threat to Europe than Germany. If the bearded man expands his ambitions and continues to advance south after defeating Germany, no country can stop Russia.

Including Southern Africa and the United States.

Although Russia is far away in the Arctic, every Russian regards Europe as their core interests.

The core interests of southern Africa are in Africa, and the core interests of the United States are in the Americas. It cannot be done because both Europe and Russia will suffer.

So the biggest problem now has changed from defeating Germany to how to contain Russia after the war.

Every tank sent to Russia now will become a bargaining chip for Russia to threaten European security in the future.

Leclerc didn't care about this issue, he only cared about how to defeat the German army in Paris as quickly as possible and regain the capital.

"A telegram from Lyon, Your Excellency the President hopes that we will control the speed and not immediately launch an attack on Paris." Lucas sent the latest telegram.

Leclerc frowned.

"why?"

Leclerc did not understand why there was such an order.

"It seems that Marshal Patton and President de Gaulle hope to fight for a chance to regain Paris peacefully." Lucas also frowned. If this is the reason, then it is not unacceptable.

The newly formed 1000nd Armored Division is really powerful. Yesterday, the 10000nd Armored Division fought with a German army. There was no suspense. The German army suffered [-] casualties, but more than [-] surrendered. This is completely inconsistent with the usual style of the German army. .

In the past July, Operation Bagration ended on the Russian battlefield.

The operation started in June, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate choice by the bearded man. The date the operation started was the same day as the date of the Russo-German war.

Russia mobilized 240 million people to participate in this operation, and the German army had 103 million people. The Russian army has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and weapons and equipment.

Even in this case, the final result of Bagration's operation still conforms to people's impression of the Russian battlefield.

The German army suffered nearly 20 casualties in this operation, and the Russian side lost 18.

Referring to the results of Operation Bagration and looking at the performance of the German army in France, we can see how outrageous the German army in France is.

The situation on the Russian battlefield is so bad, the German army can still play a close to one-to-one exchange ratio with Russia.

There were only 1000 casualties on the French side, and a full [-] surrendered.

This situation is outrageous.

Patton and de Gaulle were also caught off guard by this result.

Almost half a month ago, with the full support of the Air Force, the fully staffed Sixth Armored Division had to go back to North Africa to rest.

In just half a month, the German army has degenerated to this extent?

This speed is also too fast.

It is precisely because of this result that there is this telegram from de Gaulle.

If this is not stopped, maybe Choltitz has not succeeded in instigating the counterattack, and Leclerc has already entered Paris.

At that time, if Choltitz resolutely implements the order of the mustache, then de Gaulle will become a sinner of France, let alone become president.

"We shouldn't pin our hopes on the enemy's weakness. If the Germans dare to destroy Paris, then they will wait to meet our cruelest revenge!" Leclerc has an opinion. If Paris is peacefully recovered, then he must promise Germany Certain human conditions do not match the spirit of the Casablanca meeting. It was agreed to surrender unconditionally.

Leclerc's worries were not groundless. Choltitz did have a request. He hoped that the Allied forces would be lenient and let the German army survive, allowing the German army to leave Paris safely and return to Germany.

No matter how tough Choltitz was, he still had to face the reality. He agreed to meet with de Gaulle's envoy, which fully demonstrated Choltitz's attitude.

De Gaulle's emissary was a clergyman, and only a priest could avoid the eyes and ears of the mustache and see Choltitz openly.

"It's easy for you to destroy a thousand-year-old city, but you have to think about the consequences of doing that. If you destroy Paris, who can guarantee that the Allies will not destroy Berlin? The same pain will befall you at that time." Among all Germans, the hatred between Germany and France will never be resolved." Father Karl has German blood, and he is a close friend with Choltitz, so he came here from Germany.

This is the most amazing thing about religion.

The world war has been fought for several years, and the whole of Europe has been shattered into ruins. There is a clear line between the Allies and the Axis countries. Personnel exchanges have long since ceased. Only the clergy are free from restraint. After all, they serve God.

Now the communication between the Allies and the Axis powers often relies on the clergy.

So it is said that religion has nothing to do with politics, who would believe it!
What Choltitz didn't know was that his family members were secretly picked up by the clergy. It is not known whether they had left Germany, but they were out of the control of the German secret police anyway.

"Who ordered you to do this? This is simply despicable! How can I believe that you will give me the treatment that matches my status?" Choltitz was furious. His family was his last bottom line, but now the allied forces Break through this limitation.

"General, don't get me wrong. It is precisely because we know how much you value your family that we protect them in advance. Otherwise, once the situation in Paris is reported to Germany, then you know how the German government will treat your family." Carl is confident , to strive for peace in the name of God. Under this premise, even if you cooperate with the devil, it is not unacceptable.

If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?

What's more, no matter how you look at it now, the Allied Forces are the party of justice.

Choltitz was silent for a long time.

He knew Carl was telling the truth.

Not to mention, after the latest failed assassination of Mustache, hundreds of people have been implicated in this way.

Others don't know the real cause of Rommel's death, but Choltitz certainly knew it.

Even Field Marshal and Moustache can kill as soon as they say it, and it goes without saying that General Choltitz is a general.

If Choltitz disobeyed Mustache's order and handed over Paris completely to the Allies, Choltitz's family would probably be immediately arrested by the secret police and died in prison in the most tragic way.

Maybe it will be thrown into the incinerator.

"If I give up my resistance, I hope my subordinates can leave Paris safely and return to Germany." Choltitz made a request. If he himself surrenders, he will definitely be treated according to his status, and his subordinates are hard to say.

After the French railway workers went on strike, the public security situation in Paris deteriorated sharply. The German soldiers stationed in Paris now dare not leave the barracks easily. Three days ago, a group of German soldiers were patrolled by a roadside bomb attack, killing 11 people and 23 People get hurt.

If this were changed to other places, the German army would center on the attack point and carry out brutal revenge on the surrounding residents, usually by randomly arresting people and shooting them, ten times the number of dead soldiers.

Paris is not a wilderness, and such a large-scale revenge is not appropriate.

Choltitz did not dare to retaliate. Based on his knowledge of the Allied forces, if he dared to capture and shoot 110 Parisians, after the Allied forces regained Paris, they might randomly pick 1100 German prisoners of war to retaliate accordingly.

When is the time for retribution.

"General, even if your subordinates successfully return to Germany, they still have to continue to experience the war. This time the war will not only spread to the German border. Even if the Allied forces do not invade Germany, Russia will go all the way south. You just came from the Russian battlefield When you come to France, I think you are more willing to deal with the French allies than the Russians." Karl said it in a more euphemistic way, and he surrendered.

Choltitz was silent again.

When the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs. When the German army swept across Europe, all Germans cheered.

When the Germans moved the spoils from various countries back to Germany, all Germans became vested interests and enjoyed the dividends of the war.

Now it is the turn of the Germans to bear the pain of the war. When the Allied forces found all kinds of trophies sent back by German officers and soldiers from the homes of the Germans, it cannot be said that these things were all picked up.

You need someone to believe you when you say that.

I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to explain.

"I need a personal commitment from General Patton or President de Gaulle." Choltitz wrote in black and white, but this is not safe.

The "Versailles Peace Treaty" is rigorous enough, hundreds of diplomats spent several months in Paris to draw up, how much war reparations did the Germans pay?

When Mustache signed the "Munich Agreement" with Neville, he also firmly believed that it would fight for peace for all the British for another 20 years, and in the end it was not directly torn up by Mustache.

Before the outbreak of Operation Barbarossa, there was a "Non-Aggression Pact" between Germany and Russia——

But so what, the war is not just a fight.

In the past few decades in the new century, there have been too many overthrows of promises, and there is no trust between countries. The spirit of contract that Europeans have just shouted for a few years has been completely destroyed by the Europeans themselves. .

As the saying goes, what is emphasized is what is lacking.

"General, I didn't come to you for a request, but for an ultimatum. You know what I mean." Carl was not polite, he gave you a face, right?

To instigate rebellion, at best, is to abandon the dark and turn to the light, at worst, it is a threat to kill your whole family if you don’t surrender——

No, it's not a threat, but a statement of fact, because it can really be done.

Now it’s different from the past, Germany is no longer qualified to ask for conditions. If you don’t believe me, go to the Russians and try it. Don’t look at the Russians who took the initiative to ask Germany for peace last year. Most people will be killed by the bearded man to sacrifice to heaven.

The Russians do not have the habit of fighting between the two countries without killing each other.

"The only thing I can command is the [-] city defense troops in Paris. I don't have command authority over the troops around Paris." Choltitz's face was flushed, his head was caught in his knees, and his whole body was trembling.

This action fully proves how painful Choltitz was to make this decision.

This is the real decision to violate the ancestors. As a Junker noble from a traditional Prussian military family, the word "surrender" does not exist in the dictionary at all.

However, after the end of this world war, it is estimated that the Junker nobles in Germany will completely disappear.

"The situation Marshal Kruger is facing is not much better than Marshal Rommel—" Karl's expression is serious, and his mustache is now crazy. Someone must be responsible for France's failure.

Now Mustache's order to all the German troops is that they are not allowed to retreat a single step in the face of the Allied attack, and must fight to the end.

After Kruger came to France, his first order was to shrink the line of defense and concentrate his forces for a decisive battle with the Allies.

If this is won, it is easy to say, what the winner does is right.

If he lost, the mustache would have something to say.

Who told you not to obey my order?
Bullets or potassium cyanide, the choice is yours.

Choltitz closed his eyes in pain. The German army was defeated. Ordinary soldiers may have a chance to return to their families. He and Kruger, the German generals, are not sure what will happen.

Even if Choltitz completely handed over Paris to the Allied forces, a court trial would be needed to finally decide Choltitz's fate.

The peaceful handover of Paris is not an easy task. Not everyone can rationally accept this result. There are always guys who are infinitely loyal to Mustache and will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for Mustache at the last moment.

Choltitz must have been surrounded by the secret police, and they must be cleared in time to ensure that Paris is handed over to the Allies.

After all, the explosives have been installed, and the only thing left is to connect the wires to the detonator. This work is not complicated, and can be easily completed with simple training.

Choltitz needs a complete plan. In case there is a mistake, it’s okay if a certain bridge is blown up. If it’s Notre Dame de Paris or the Louvre that is bombed, maybe the French will become angry. promises can also be completely overturned.
