On May 30, 1936, after only 10 days of fighting, the Second Battle of France was coming to an end. The Germans only used the power of one army group as the main attack, and two tank groups, assisted by the air fleet, easily

The French were driven to Marseille, Toulon, Cannes and other coastal port cities.

To the west, the Allies' defense circle at this time had shrunk to the Seisle Peninsula and the Brittany Peninsula. Here, the German army temporarily stopped in order to avoid being attacked by the navy.

If according to Hermann Göring's words: "As long as one air force and an air fleet are left, then the air force is also capable of driving the French, British, and American armies into the sea!"

Faced with this situation, French President Paul Reno stood on the street in Cherbourg and raised questions.

Groups of French, British, and American soldiers poured into Cherbourg, which greatly increased the population density of this French city. Groups of soldiers driving military vehicles, riding bicycles, and even riding horses and cattle came here intermittently.

Many scarred people may never wake up after sitting down against the wall.

Paul Reno looked at the sky worriedly, guessing in his mind that if the German Air Force launched a saturation bombing here now, then this place would probably become a bloody and terrifying area!

"What should we do? Where should we go!"

Not only was he asking himself this question, but even the Allied ground force commander, Wei Gang, was also asking himself.

“What should France do?”

France's power was now divided into three parts, and the French troops, which had lost most of their defense lines, no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

"There is no hope, at least as far as I am concerned, there is no hope for France!"

Under such circumstances, the French government's pessimism and despair has reached the point of collapse. Even Paul Reynaud, the president known as Churchill of France, has also thought about resigning. Probably at this moment, he is completely incapable of solving France's problems.

Precisely because all hope has been lost.

However, not everyone in France has lost hope, at least two people have not. One is Lieutenant General Caranthe of the French Army Intelligence Department, codenamed Confucian, who does not care about the future of France at all. The other is his good friend,

Lieutenant General de Gaulle of the French Military Intelligence Agency. This 46-year-old lieutenant general is a young and energetic one among French generals.

At this moment, he, who was also in Cherbourg, and his friend, Lieutenant General Caranthe, looked at the groups of defeated soldiers surging towards the streets.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I think we cannot stay here. We should leave France and go to the colonies where France will continue to fight!"

Lieutenant General Caranthe beside him shrugged and shook his completely white hair.

"Hmm, do you think France can still fight? Sigh... I think if they had followed your advice and maintained a backbone force with high fighting spirit like the Chinese Federation, we wouldn't have been able to fight in the face of the German attack.

As for..."

De Gaulle shook his head sadly. He also felt that the future of France was dim. In his opinion, the French government should leave France at this moment, and the French navy should load as many troops as possible to the colonies, and rely on the resources of the colonies to continue fighting.

But as a member of the French Military Intelligence Department, who can obey his orders at this moment? Not to mention the French President at this moment, even the commander of the navy, Admiral Darlan, cannot act according to his expectations.

As for the French government, he has given up on the mission, because some sources he has received have shown that President Paul Reno, because of his promise not to leave France, is planning to lead the current French government to become ashes with France.

.

"No General, we need say no more, the past is forever past, and now I think I need some help. If I could command all the troops in France, then I would have the navy load up as many land forces as possible and go to North Africa. There we still have

We have a navy and French overseas territories. As long as we still exist, we can fight back!"

While he was saying these words, the man who had been following de Gaulle brought coffee to them from the "honey book" that Piccard had arranged for him, along with a telegram. De Gaulle opened it and it was still intact and sealed.

After looking down at the telegram, it seemed that he was not in a hurry to send the secret messenger away. His trust in the secret messenger made Lieutenant General Caranthe somewhat confused.

Speaking of which, de Gaulle should not have kept this sweetheart by his side, even if it was because of her beauty. People might even misunderstand that de Gaulle was a stupid person who was confused by beauty.

But facts have proven that sometimes, the news on the surface of affairs is unreliable.

"Miss Qili, what do you think of our future?"

The girl named Qili smiled slightly and looked at de Gaulle with eyes full of temptation.

"General, do you need my opinion? Well... as far as I'm concerned, I should be wherever you are. This... this is my duty, isn't it!"

As a candidate for the honey book, the woman in front of me obviously has no intelligence. But apart from her love for money, she is not a stupid person. And her answer, in addition to showing her duties as a honey book, does not

Is there any special information?

But de Gaulle's answer made everyone understand that he really needed some people who were good at conspiracy to give him more help.

"Oh no, my lovely Miss Qili, please believe that the help you gave me is not what you just mentioned. I have to say that your help is crucial to me!"

Caranse smiled, her eyes seeming to be looking out the window intentionally or unintentionally, unmoved by de Gaulle's flirtatious language. This incident continued until the sweet book, Miss Qili, disappeared.

.

"My General de Gaulle, you...ah, these are some unscrupulous little games. I don't believe you have any strong hopes for that beautiful girl!...Well, maybe my guess is wrong, she gave

Your hope is to make you... well, happier, and maybe that will give you more hope!"

Listening to the harmless joke of Lieutenant General Carence, his friend and lifelong acquaintance, de Gaulle smiled a little more mysteriously. He did not answer, but handed the telegram he had just received to Carence.

After reading it, Calanthe cursed in a low voice in the tone of a friend and ally of de Gaulle.

"This bastard, how dare he..."

"Hush... My dear Mr. Lieutenant General, caution is the virtue of our intelligence workers!"

————————————————————————————————————————De Gaulle who received the telegram showed himself to be the future leader of France

He should have been calm, and his subsequent behavior surprised Caranse even more. At the same time, he also understood that de Gaulle was not only a shrewd intelligence worker, but also an excellent politician.

"Actually, I'm not worried about the navy's reaction. If someone is willing to help me, the navy is not a problem. But the question now is, if we get to the colonies, who will help us, or who can we get the most sincere advice?

help."

The expression on Caranse's face showed unpredictable confusion. He took a sip of coffee and then asked De Gaulle slowly, as if he wanted to know some of his future plans.

"What about you, who do you want to help you? The British or the French. I think here in France, we may only be able to find these two countries. But I don't know who they prefer. You

I know that if there is no support from powerful forces in the international community, then the colonial government may be easily sidelined. I think this is a situation that neither I nor you want to see!"

"Of course, we need stronger international support, but the two countries you just mentioned may not be interested in us. Or they may be more interested in controlling Europe. So Lieutenant General Caranthe, do you think you

Can you accept it? I listen to you!"

At this time, Caranse finished his last cup of coffee, put down the cup and was about to leave. After taking a few steps thoughtfully, he turned back and expressed his attitude to de Gaulle.

"Let me put it this way, Your Excellency, I will always be your friend. Of course, if you can find better support than the United States and Britain, then I will definitely stand by your side and be very happy to serve you! French Army Intelligence

Ministry, at your command!"

This news made de Gaulle remain calm and continued to smile at his friends. He even raised his cup and showed a friendly joke.

"Of course, my dear Lieutenant General Caranthe, my Military Intelligence Bureau and I are also waiting for your orders at any time. It is an honor for me and my colleagues to be able to serve you!"

A joke cleverly ended a conversation involving some political transactions. Looking at Caranthe's back, de Gaulle also drank up the coffee in the cup and told himself in his heart.

"If someone is willing to help, then I have to move faster. I think those Germans didn't leave us much time. If I'm quick enough, maybe we can save more army and navy for France!"

Thinking of this, he raised his neck and addressed his sweetheart in a way that only the two of them could hear when there were no outsiders around.
