Chapter 45 The Cardinal and VV

"It seems that the Germans will launch an attack on the Soviet Union soon." After receiving the battle report that all of Poland had fallen, Chen Mo shook his head slightly, looking a little disappointed.

The reason for his disappointment was not directed at Poland. The Poles had shown a very determined will to resist both in their original history and in this time and space. Even if their country was lost, they still persisted in resisting the German aggression.

According to the information received by the intelligence department, on October 8th, when the war initially ended, the first Polish resistance force had already begun their activities.

So the Poles did not disappoint. If they did, I just felt that they did not persist long enough.

However, facing the east-west attack from the Soviet Union and Germany, one month was already the limit that the Poles could persist.

After all, this is a country that only recovered after the end of World War I. It has serious deficiencies in terms of military and economy. Not to mention that when the Soviet Union was first established, it attacked the city of Warsaw, almost twenty years ahead of schedule.

Warsaw was captured.

However, because the Soviet Union had just been established at that time, it was unable to continue due to internal and external troubles, so it could only hate the city of Warsaw.

What really disappointed Chen Mo was Ying and France.

They still made the same moves as in history. Although they declared war on Germany in accordance with the treaty signed with Poland, they did not make any substantive attack.

In just one month, they simply and completely watched Poland's demise.

The only thing that can be called an act of war is the Saarland Offensive launched by France, which was the same as in history. It was a gesture of aid to Poland in order to offend world public opinion.

The so-called Saar Offensive was nothing more than the French starting from the Maginot Line, advancing about five miles from a fifteen-mile-long front, and occupying about twenty deserted villages.

The Germans followed a pre-planned plan and quickly retreated into the Siegfried Line behind the border.

Afterwards, Gamelin ordered them to stop advancing and instructed the frontline troops to immediately retreat to the Maginot Line as soon as they encountered a German counterattack.

When the Polish Commander-in-Chief and General Staff Headquarters requested emergency support, Gamelin also deceived the French Army into deceiving more than half of its forces into combat. In fact, the French Army only used fifteen divisions in the Saarland Offensive.

At that time, the French army deployed a total of 83 divisions on the Western Front, and they faced 11 German regular divisions and 12 reserve divisions.

In this way, with a force advantage four times that of the Germans, the French advanced five miles without firing a shot, making the only offensive on the Western Front during the Polish Campaign.

"The British and the French..." Littorio took the battle report from Chen Mo's hand, browsed it quickly and couldn't help but made a disdainful sound: "The French guy really went back further and further. If Richelieu knew that the French guy

With this kind of behavior, she doesn’t know whether she will cry to death or be angry to death!"

The Richelieu in Littorio's mouth is of course the same existence as her, but it is obvious that Richelieu is still a battleship and has not been summoned by Chen Mo.

Valley card

The reason why Littorio said this was just a concept that Chen Mo instilled in her when shaping her personality and memory.

Therefore, Chen Mo was not surprised why Littorio said such words. He just replied: "Richelieu is not a person who can cry. If it were her, I'm afraid she wouldn't raise the three-faced mask."

Color flag, to guide the French people.”

"Freedom to lead the people? It is indeed what the cardinal would do." Littorio nodded slightly, but did not say much to comment.

After all, she only had some concepts that were instilled and shaped by Chen Mo. She was not really familiar with the cardinal. Her knowledge only supported her simple comments.

But relatively speaking, Chen Mo could undoubtedly think of many more things. He thought for a while and said to Littorio: "You said that if Richelieu was allowed to stand up and lead the French resistance movement after France surrendered,

Will he do better than General de Gaulle?"

"With Richelieu's ability, she will become the new Joan of Arc." Littorio just thought for a moment and then made an evaluation: "Commander, if you let Richelieu lead the French

If so, she would definitely not be like General de Gaulle, hiding in London, England and just calling on people to resist, but would actually join the battlefield.

This is more effective than any slogan or speech. Although people often say that a good speech is better than a thousand troops, a doer who practices it will always be better than a theorist who only talks about it.

Although de Gaulle raised the flag of resistance, he did play a greater role in the rear than in victory on the battlefield, but in terms of his contribution to this war, I think he is not as good as Jean Moulin, who fought on the front line of the resistance.

.

If Richelieu could really lead the French people to resist the German aggression and join the front-line struggle, I think she would not be much worse than the saint who saved France."

After listening to Littorio's evaluation of Richelieu, Chen Mo nodded slightly: "Since Littorio thinks so highly of Richelieu, let's do this. When France surrenders, we will summon Littorio."

Seliu.”

Littorio raised his hand to brush the flowers placed on Chen Mo's desk and smiled slightly: "Being able to discover the correctness of Littorio's opinion is proof of your vision, Commander."

"Really? It seems like Littorio you feel that your talents have not been put to use! Then when the attack on Italy is launched later, you will be responsible for commanding the Egyptian front army and suppressing the resistance movement in Italy. By the way, you will

Sister summoned me." Chen Mo glanced at Littorio, who was sitting on his desk, and said with a slight eyebrow raise.

Hearing what Chen Mo said, Littorio did not feel that this task was embarrassing for her. She just shrugged and said indifferently: "Although the scenery of the Mediterranean is beautiful, there is not enough lively banquet.

For me, of course, I prefer a stage where more people can feel the charm of my Littorio. And sister..."

When he mentioned his sister, Littorio also put away his smile and fell silent.

As the most powerful and cutting-edge battleships of the Italian Navy, Littorio and Veneto were built almost at the same time, and were completed and commissioned at almost the same time.

In the original history, the two sisters played an important role in the war, participated in many battles in the Mediterranean Sea, and left Italy as compensation after Italy surrendered. They did not return to Italy until the war and were retired and demolished.

untie.

It can be said that the two sisters have carried too much since their birth, and Veneto, as the symbol of the Italian Navy, obviously carries more than Torio.

rn vittorio vittorio--in the name of the father of the country, she carries all the glory of Italy's victory in the First World War and its prosperity in the early 20th century.
