Chapter 14

The threat from Spain and Italy have increased the worries of French Prime Minister Paul Renault.

After the meeting and deciding the steps to retreat, Paul Reynold thought for a moment, grabbed the phone and told Winston Churchill, who was far away in the UK.

It was 3 a.m. on April 24, 1936. Paul Renault called Winston Churchill, the Admiralty Building in London.

“Hey, where?”

Churchill asked a question from the microphone. Obviously, due to work habits, Churchill likes to work at night, and sometimes he has to work until three or four o'clock in the morning before going to bed.

French Prime Minister Paul Renault was anxious at this moment and didn't care about that much. He rushed out in English.

"We have been defeated! We have lost this war!"

There was an embarrassing silence on the phone. Renault didn't know if Churchill didn't understand him or did not believe him. He repeated the sentence, trying to make Winston Churchill understand the seriousness of the current situation.

"We were defeated by the Germans, and we lost this battle."

"Not that fast, right?"

Churchill on the other end of the phone finally said a little bit, and he no longer had the long comments he usually had. The current situation also made him feel difficult.

Because it is hard to imagine that Americans would tie their army, supplies and the future of their country to those who have no confidence on the battlefield.

If the US government only focused on the Pacific War at this time, then Europe would undoubtedly fall completely under the iron hoof of the Germans.

"The defense line near Sedang has been broken, and the enemy tanks and armored troops are surging in. The 9th Army has completely collapsed. I can't think of it for long. The entire First Army Group will also fall into the encirclement. Then we will be

The end of the world!”

Paul Renault seemed to have become a military strategist in an instant, as if the situation of war was in his control.

Churchill sighed softly, but his tone was trying to calm Renault as much as possible. Even if a battle failed, it did not mean that the war would inevitably have no hope of victory.

"Listen to me, Mr. Prime Minister, you should still remember those dim days in 1916? Although the situation seemed very conspiring at that time, everything turned out to be good after all of us.

All experience shows that after a while, the barbaric attack of the Germans will end. Five or six days later they have to stop and recharge, which gives us the opportunity to counterattack.

At that time, we will have enough troops, and I will also get more fighter squadrons to support you. Please rest assured, Mr. Prime Minister, everything is in our control!"

These guarantees have no more effect, and French Prime Minister Paul Renault is still unstable.

"We are facing a torrent of tanks, their bombers have left our soldiers with no courage to attack, and even the generals have given up their responsibilities."

At the end, he added another sentence, and it was the same as the one at the beginning.

"We were defeated, we lost this battle."

I don’t know if it is to emphasize the importance of those fighter squadrons or the need for British support.

"You must hold on, you must hold on and you must not give up no matter what! If possible, I am willing to go to France in person, and we can all discuss a result!"

Churchill instructed that if France surrendered, it would undoubtedly suffer the greatest losses to Britain. He even foreseeed that if the remaining British in Europe were fighting with the support of the United States, then it is very likely that Europe in the future would become an American.

of Europe.

Winston Churchill likes Americans, but does not mean that he wants the whole of Europe to be the backyard of Americans. This does not have much benefit to Europeans.

But the most terrifying thing is that one day in the future, the British will become a member of the American interest group. Then the UK will lose the glory that has started since the Victorian era, and will at least be in a considerable historical stage.

Then there is the former "Britain Empire that never sets in the sun".

From a certain perspective, a glorious and surviving France is the European group that can rely on in the future international interests of the United Kingdom to fight against the American group, the Asian group, and the European group that advocates its own interests worldwide.

French Prime Minister Paul Renault put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was the promise of British Prime Minister Churchill that gave him a glimmer of hope. He was just speculating in his heart whether this call could attract the full attention of the British and send their local fighter squadrons.

With these fighter squadrons, they can boost morale and bomb the German army and support ground operations. Otherwise, France will likely fail within a few days.

At this time, Winston Churchill, who was sitting there in London, sucked the cigar in his mouth hard, and his brows were tightly frowning together.

"Don't these French idiots understand that as long as we can last for a week, maybe we can get assistance from the US and Canadian troops.

Although they may not necessarily give us many army orders, there is no doubt that all kinds of equipment can be obtained.

With enough aircraft, coupled with the cooperation of our land and navy, we can get a stable front again! And..."

And what, Winston Churchill didn't think about it, but in fact what he thought of was just such a problem.

Even if Belgium fails to fight, the British and French troops surrounded by Dunkirk and near Calais Port will definitely be able to leave the encirclement with the help of the Calais Legion.

For this reason, he had already telegraphed the United States that Britain needed a large number of airships, or if time was enough, it might be like the Chinese Federation that brought the Polish army out of the Soviet army's encirclement.

"My God, please give me a week, and I would rather trade with you with my life for only one week!"

Yes, it only takes one week. Maybe by that time, Britain can draw more fleets to Gibraltar.

"That was the lifeline of the British Empire's war. If there was no oil from the Middle East... what gave the Spaniards such a stupid idea. Don't they understand that with their army, there is no possibility of confronting our power in Gibraltar!

unless……"

Then, the phone ringed as if it was a death-seeking call. When Winston Churchill picked up the phone, he immediately heard the voice of the stupid Spanish leader, Franco.

Trouble you, although it may affect your rest, you know that war is often not waiting for anyone!”

Churchill was smoking a cigar and silently. He wanted to hear what the Spaniard in front of him wanted to say. The main thing was that he wanted to understand that what was happening there was not the problem he thought of when he was just "unless".

Perhaps Franco was a little embarrassed without waiting for Churchill's answer. But the intention of explaining this matter himself was to make Winston Churchill understand that he was just forced to do so.

"Dear Prime Minister, you know we have just obtained the right to manage the entire territory of Spain. I have to say that it was a really hard war, and in the end we completed our unification with the help of Thunder International.

But for this, we also owe high debts. You know that those mercenaries don't like others owing them too long, and I'm worried that they will put Spain in a continuous and unabated civil war.

So I promised them to pay these payments, so we had to hand over a portion of the territory we had disputed with your country to them for disposal!”

Will Winston Churchill be here? Of course not. Now he already understood that Spain used this land as collateral and borrowed Thunder International.

Then there is a problem. If Thunder International were allowed to attack that place, Churchill knew that Gibraltar's seemingly solid defense would not be very solid.

"God knows that in the mysterious 51th District of the Chinese Federation, there are some more mysterious things inside!"

According to the British speculation, there were already nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles there, and they also knew that the Chinese Federation could send some things into space.

People from the British scientific research department told Churchill that it may take 15 years for the British to study these things and reach the current level of the Chinese Federation.

"Mr. Franco, I think it doesn't seem to be in accordance with international practice for you to trade this disputed land! And the British Empire was stationed there with a very large fleet, and we also have a strong fortress..."

Fran on the other end of the phone was obviously in a state of fear and did not care about the threat from Britain at all. Instead, he set out to sarcastically threats, which immediately made Churchill understand that Gibraltar could not be protected.

"Ah, yes! I have to say that our tentative attack caused us some losses. But it doesn't matter, we have contacted the merchants of the Chinese Federation in the City of Angels, and they promised to provide us with some equipment so that we can complete it.

Deal with Thunder International.

Among them, my personal opinion is that the kind of bomb called the Ring of God is more useful. Although we don’t have enough airships, maybe we can use airplanes, or rent some airships.

In addition, the Vi-S missile seems to be a good choice. No matter how we are going to complete the transaction with Thunder International for our own safety. Goodbye Mr. Churchill!”

Churchill responded calmly, and cleverly told the other party about the consequences of doing so.
