Battle of the Third Reich

There was a shower in the afternoon, and the heat was slightly removed from the street. After the clouds disappeared, the hot sunlight was again shining on the wet sidewalk through the shade of the street trees. A black Renault car was parked on the street. Standing two policemen in black uniforms, armed with a holster belt, and the long riding boots are shiny.

Charles de Gaulle looked around through the gaps in the blinds, then closed the leafs. He picked up a page of documents from the desk by the window and turned to the living room.

"Beitang's running dog has been watching me all the time. I can only ask you to come over in person. It's because the matter is very urgent. Please look at this document first." Charles de Gaulle walked to the living room sofa and put the document in his hand On the coffee table, then sat down.

"Bei Dang publicly sent someone to monitor you, only to prove that in his mind, you are a huge threat. Your influence in the French army shocked him. He can only cover his cowardice with this way. Incompetence." British diplomatic envoy Spears comforted Charles de Gaulle. He bent down and picked up the document from the coffee table. He pulled out a pair of glasses from the pocket of the suit vest and placed it on the bridge of his nose, and began to read it carefully.

"This is a document I got from the inside of the Betan government. In order to get this document, he took a huge risk. I think I should let you know this immediately. Betan deceived all of us. He A secret agreement has been reached with the Germans as early as a few weeks ago, and now everything we see is an illusion! Betten has already betrayed France, and he is ready to betray our allies to the enemy.". De Gaulle lifted Erlang's legs, put one hand on his knee, and the other hand tapped on the sofa arm with a serious expression.

"So I think London should know the news immediately, and must be prepared immediately. If the situation on the document is true, then Britain will be in an unprecedented crisis. And France will be completely reduced to German toys and running dogs." Charles de Gaulle put down He lowered his leg, lowered his body, pointed the coffee table at his finger, and fixed his eyes on Spears.

"The situation is very serious, if this document is true." Spears frowned as he looked at the document. Indeed, as shown in this document, the situation is not just serious, it is terribly bad, of course, for the United Kingdom.

After withdrawing from Paris, the French government carried a pile of institutions and groups. A swarm of bees fled to the south, still encroaching on a large number of local administrative officials, police, army, money and supplies. Under the storm-like attack of the German Army, the French Army retreated, losing its helmet and removing its armor, and failed to become an army.

Although Wei Gang repeatedly ordered the southern defense forces and the retreating forces to quickly establish a line of defense, the French had lost control at this time. Some southern defense forces were frightened by all kinds of ridiculous rumors brought by the soldiers and officers who retreated in the front. The German vanguard had just emerged from the horizon, and the French troops on this side had already abandoned their positions. Running away, the soldiers fled to the next line of defense, holding the officers. Started to spread more exaggerated rumors among the defenders. . . .

More French troops chose to lay down their weapons in the hopeless despair of the war situation. Many of them had planned this for a long time, and even French troops called the village impatiently when the Germans occupied the villages and towns near their defense areas. A strange flower surrendering to the Germans from a distance appeared.

Because in the eyes of some French mid-level officers, there is no possibility of victory in this war, defeat is inevitable, and it is only a matter of time before France surrenders. It is inhumane and meaningless to ask soldiers to sacrifice at this time, and surrender is a relief for those suffering from the pressure and suffering of war.

Just as the French watched with fear the German commander drove straight into a land of no one, the German army suddenly stopped attacking. Staying in place and confronting France. Although it is unclear what tricks the Germans are doing, the Bordeaux government can finally sit back and take a breath, and French politicians can finally fight within a certain period of time.

It was in this situation that Petain united all bureaucrats and parliamentarians with defeatism and appeasement thoughts, impeached Renault, who still wanted to resist the war, and won the French leadership in one fell swoop.

Renault’s factions are clamoring from the beginning to the end that the French nation will fight with the Germans until the last soldier, and even continue to fight even in exile in overseas colonies. This argument was still very marketable before the Germans broke through the canal area. However, when the Germans fully attacked and the left-wing troops drove down the coastline, this clamor suddenly subsided, and the French surrender began to prevail in the parliament.

After Petain took the absolute leadership position, Renault's death-bearing faction was subjected to merciless cleansing, and has been separated from the two factions, but Charles de Gaulle, who has a similar tone with Renault, is also classified. Blow list. His remaining troops were divided and his men were transferred. In addition to retaining the rank and uniform, the army major general became a bare-bones commander. He didn’t even have a place to go to work. He could only hide in the garden hotel suite in Bordeaux to organize his battlefield diary. And combat records, at least on the surface.

Charles de Gaulle has in fact maintained a secret relationship with London, England, especially Churchill's diplomatic envoy Spears. Due to the similarity of ideas and professions, the two have established a strong private friendship. Every time Spears arrived in Bordeaux, he would take the time to visit Charles de Gaulle, bringing him the latest news in London, and the German frontal intelligence of the French front obtained by the British intelligence service. Occasionally, he would also bring some private gifts, such as food and some cash. And Charles de Gaulle will prepare the other party's internal confidential information of the Betan government, especially the information that must not be known to the British, or some internal documents of the French navy and air force. The French Army's intelligence is his own. Whatever he gave, he had convinced himself that helping Britain was saving France.

As a representative of the French junior officers, Charles de Gaulle still hides some contacts in the army and the government. At the same time, due to the unfair treatment received, many government officials who did not previously have a cold for him will also give them some aspects in sympathy. Help and convenience.

So this time, a document that surprised Charles de Gaulle was stolen by a subordinate who was a guard in the government document storage room. Although it was a fragment of a document that was to be destroyed due to a printing error, it was only a dozen pages of documents. One page, but what was revealed on this page was shocking enough. It happened that Spears arrived in Bordeaux with Churchill's autograph. Charles de Gaulle then sent Spears a request to meet.

"If the document is true, it is sufficient to prove that Beitang has indeed cooperated with Germany. The Germans delivered armaments and supplies to the three French divisions in the Alpine defense zone, and released 20,000 captured Army soldiers and officers, and even returned Weapons and equipment. This is a very important piece of news. Betan obviously has already reached certain deals with Germany. The British government was deceived by Betan. This cunning old dog, London must respond to this immediately. I want to Bring a document back to London immediately." Spears took the leather document case beside him, carefully inserted the page into the mezzanine, and fastened the chain.

"I decided to go to London with you. I can be a witness. My career in France is over. If Betan declares the war to an end, France will become a German prey. I will never allow this to happen. I To go to England to continue fighting, I want to call on all Frenchmen who are not willing to succumb to me, stand on the side of British allies and fight for the freedom of France." Charles de Gaulle stood up with his hands behind his back. Looking at Spears firmly.

The British envoy looked up at the stubborn French general in front of him, thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously. "My red stork is standing by at the airport. I was going to return to London in the afternoon. I said goodbye to Petain and we can leave now, but these police officers who monitor you..."

"If they cross-examine, I will say I will send you to the airport. When the plane takes off, I will board the plane. No one will think of this." Charles de Gaulle went to the door and took out his military uniform and cap from the closet. Then he picked up a briefcase that had been prepared in the corner of the closet.

"Very well, we set off immediately, and I have some questions for you. We're talking on the road." Spears put on his jacket, lifted the document bag, and walked out of the suite with Charles de Gaulle.

Twenty minutes later, in front of the Bordeaux airport guard and the two security policemen, Charles de Gaulle rolled and climbed onto the British red stork transport plane that was beginning to taxi. The aircraft slowly accelerated, pulled up, and circled at low altitude for a week After swinging the wing a bit, he flew towards the Atlantic Ocean through the tree tip of the airport windbreak.

"We took off from here, walked over the Bay of Biscay, bypassed the corner of Brest, and flew straight to Plymouth, and we could reach London at night." Spears patted De Gaulle's shoulder, still breathless.

"We want to fly at low altitude to avoid the German patrol aircraft. You can take a good look at the scenery along the French coast. The next time you want to see these scenery again, I don't know how long it will take." Charles de Gaulle nodded and turned around. His face was attached to the cabin window, and he looked at the green French land outside the window with a complicated look.

Brunol is an ordinary French seaside village. Half of the residents are fishermen, and the other half are employees of nearby grape plantations. The village is close to the Atlantic Ocean and goes down a gentle slope. The coast forms a small bay on the side of the village. The pier in the village is built on the corner of the bay. A dozen fishing boats in the village are moored quietly on the berths in the emerald green bay. In the afternoon, the sun shines on the water, and the waves reflect the mottled light and shadow on the hull.

It is now the time of war. It is said that some people have seen German submarines and planes in the vicinity, and there are also terrible mine legends, so the fishing boats dare not go far, and only make one or two revolutions in the surrounding offshore area every morning, whether or not Harvest, return to Hong Kong at noon.

Jean Pierre was sitting on a rock on the top of the cliff by the bay, and looked at his goat grazing sadly.

"Damn German, **** airplane!" Jean Pierre picked up a large sheepskin jug beside him and poured a large mouthful of sweet and sour wine in his mouth. He wiped his mouth on the back of his sleeve , And then tightly plug the pot.

A lot of time has passed since the last arrest, but as soon as Pierre thinks about it, he will feel a rise in blood pressure, and he will be swollen. For this honest French peasant, this is simply the most terrible experience in his life. The humiliation he suffered that time will never be forgotten in his life. forget. Of course, revenge was never thought of, but it was the Germans armed to the teeth.

At that time, the German armored forces arrested him and handed him over to the Gendarmerie of the occupying army in the city. A German Gendarmerie major interrogated him. The Germans had a good attitude and the French was very smooth. Jean Pierre was at the time I confessed it before and after.

"In front of a team of German tanks, fire a shotgun at a thousand-meter-high German aircraft?!!! Just because the sound of the aircraft made you take a nap?!!!"

The German Gendarmerie Major pointed at Jean Pierre's nose and laughed for five full minutes, and then ordered the Gendarmerie to expel the fool who scared his pants. At this time, he was still worried about the overcrowding in the prison. How could he accept it again? A French farmer with obvious intellectual disability.

As a result, Pierre was thrown directly into the street by the Germans, and there was a shoe mark on his butt. By the way, he also lost an old shotgun.

Treated as a joke by the Germans, Jean Pierre, a former soldier of the French Army, the warrior Pierre was regarded as an idiot! When he was walking on the streets of the city, wearing the pants soaked in pants and crotch The strange look from people's eyes, Pierre couldn't help but feel angry. Damn German, **** plane!

The original farm can't stay, at least until the neighbors forget this matter. Pierre went to his wife’s mother’s house, but the German followed his buttocks, and Le Havre couldn’t stay. Jean Pierre would think of that disgusting thing now when he saw the German costume thing. So he dragged his family again and started the long march, and finally settled in Bruno's cousin's home in the distance.

Pierre’s farmstead has a good yield, so he still has some savings. He rented a house first, and then took his family to live. He usually helped his cousin manage the farmland in the morning, and hurried a dozen of his family in the afternoon. The goats grazed on the mountain, after a few days of peace and quiet.

Jean Pierre took the double-barreled shotgun on the side and took two bullets from his pocket. This shotgun is a cousin's thing, and it's also a thing of the past. This year it's okay to go alone without a guy on the mountain. Recently, there are often refugees coming down from the north. Goats can now be very valuable livestock. Pierre put a good bullet, and the back of the gun was aiming at the surrounding shot, with the weapon in his hand, he felt full of power.

At this time, a dull and familiar voice came from a distance, so Pierre had heard this voice in his sleep many times. aircraft! It's a **** plane! Jean Pierre's humiliating memories appeared again in his mind, making his eyes **** and angry.

Immediately, a small twin-engine transport aircraft appeared from the top of the tree behind the cliff, flying straight toward Pierre's head. The plane flew so low that Pierre felt that he seemed to be able to stretch his hand. Feel its wings.

The French farmer grew angry from the heart to the courage. Without any hesitation, he directly picked up the shotgun and blasted at the plane. In an instant, the transport plane flew over Pierre's head and flew towards the Atlantic.

Pierre turned around and spit out angrily at the gradually flying transport plane. At this moment, a weak blast came from the plane in the distance, and then under the watch of the French farmer, one side A thick smoke came from the wings and engine. After struggling and shaking the little transport plane, he suddenly tilted his head and slid it obliquely towards the sea.

Looking at the thick smoke and the huge ripples that hadn't dispersed on the sea, Pierre came back. He turned around once, making sure no one was around, so he spit on the ground again, back Get on the shotgun and water bottle, and hurriedly hurriedly drove the sheep towards the cliff.
