Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Most of the Free French Army soldiers were of African descent, and there were also some Asians. However, de Gaulle and Leclerc only wanted to leave the glory of recapturing Paris to white soldiers.

This is unfair to the African-American and Asian soldiers in the Free French Army, but no one cares what they think. The glory of France that fell on the ground must be picked up by real French people, even if it is incomplete.

.

The Second Armored Division was formed to recapture Paris. During the previous Allied offensive, tactical arrangements were strictly adhered to. Multiple Allied forces took turns to act as forwards and advanced toward Paris. After the Second Armored Division arrived on the battlefield, the tactical arrangements were disrupted. Others

Allied troops became supporting roles for the 2nd Armored Division.

Patton himself also supported de Gaulle in doing this. The defeat of the Germans was only a matter of time. The biggest suspense now is whether de Gaulle can be successfully pushed to the position of French president.

Leclerc was de Gaulle's most trusted Free French Army general. His Second Armored Division received a batch of the latest "Leopard" tanks in Algiers. This batch of tanks was originally going to be sent to the Russian battlefield. Later, Roque

He changed his mind and gave these tanks to de Gaulle.

Yes, it’s free, no strings attached.

Russia is too powerful now. Its tens of millions of troops are a greater threat to Europe than Germany. If the bearded man's ambitions expand and he 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 interest.

The core interests of Southern Africa are in Africa, and the core interests of the United States are in the Americas. This cannot happen because both Europe and Russia will lose.

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 Germans in Paris as quickly as possible and regain the capital.

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

Leclerc frowned.

"Why?"

Leclerc didn't understand why such an order was given.

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

The newly formed 2nd Armored Division is indeed powerful in attack. Yesterday, the 2nd Armored Division broke out into a battle with a German army. The result was no surprise. The Germans suffered 1,000 casualties, but more than 10,000 surrendered. This is completely inconsistent with the German army's consistent style.

.

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

This operation started in June. I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or Big Beard’s deliberate choice. The date when the operation started was the same day as the Russo-German War.

Russia mobilized 2.4 million people to participate in this operation, and the German army had 1.03 million people. The Russian army had an absolute advantage in terms of strength and weapons and equipment.

Even under this circumstance, the final result of Operation Bagration still conforms to people's impression of the Russian battlefield.

The German army suffered nearly 200,000 casualties in this operation, and the Russian side suffered 180,000 losses.

Referring to the results of Operation Bagration and looking at the performance of the German army in France, you will know how outrageous the German army in France was.

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

The French suffered only 1,000 casualties, and a full 100,000 surrendered.

This situation is outrageous.

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

Almost half a month ago, the fully-staffed 6th Armored Division, with full support from the Air Force, was severely beaten and had to return to North Africa to rest.

In just half a month, the German army has already fallen to this level?

This speed is a bit too fast.

It is precisely because of this result that de Gaulle's telegram came into existence.

If the attack was not stopped, Leclerc might have already invaded Paris before Choltitz succeeded in instigating a rebellion.

If Choltitz resolutely carries out Mustache's orders, then de Gaulle will become France's sinner, let alone become president.

"We should not place our hopes on the enemy's weakness. If the Germans dare to destroy Paris, then they will be waiting to receive our most brutal revenge!" Leclerc has an opinion. If Paris can be recovered peacefully, then Germany must agree to it.

Certain human conditions are inconsistent with the spirit of the Casablanca conference, which promised unconditional surrender.

Leclerc's worries were not groundless. Choltitz did have a request. He hoped that the Allies would be lenient and give the Germans a way out so that they could safely leave Paris and return to Germany.

No matter how tough Choltitz is, he will eventually have to face reality. His agreement to meet with de Gaulle's envoy has fully demonstrated Choltitz's attitude.

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

"It is easy for you to destroy a thousand-year-old city, but you have to consider the consequences of that. If you destroy Paris, who can guarantee that the Allies will not destroy Berlin? The same pain will come then.

The hatred between Germany and France will never be resolved among all Germans." Father Karl is of German descent and is a close friend of Choltitz, so he came here specially from Germany.

This is the most amazing thing about religion.

The World War lasted for several years, and the entire Europe was in ruins. The Allies and the Axis Powers were clearly divided, and personnel exchanges had long stopped. Only the clergy were unfettered. After all, they served God.

Nowadays, communication between the Allies and the Axis Powers often relies on clergy.

So they say religion has nothing to do with politics, but who believes it?

What Choltitz didn't know was that his family was secretly picked up by the clergy. It is not known whether they left Germany or not, but they were already out of the control of the German secret police.

"Who ordered you to do this? This is simply despicable! How does this make me believe that you will give me treatment that matches my status?" Choltitz was furious. His family was his last bottom line, but now the Allies are

Break through this limitation.

"General, don't get me wrong. It is precisely because we know how much you value your family that we protected them in advance. Otherwise, once the situation in Paris is reported back to Germany, you know how the German government will treat your family." Karl said confidently.

, fighting 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?

What's more, no matter how you look at it now, the Allies are the righteous side.

Choltitz was silent for a long time.

He knew what Carl said was true.

Not to mention, after the recent failed attempt to assassinate Mustache, hundreds of people have been implicated.

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

Even field marshals and mustaches were killed at will, let alone General Choltitz.

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

If not, they might even be thrown into the incinerator.

"If I give up resistance, I hope my men can leave Paris and return to Germany safely." Choltitz demanded. If he surrendered, he would definitely receive treatment commensurate with his status. It was hard to say for his men.

After the French railway workers went on strike, the security situation in Paris deteriorated sharply. The German soldiers stationed in Paris no longer dared to leave the military camp easily. Three days ago, a group of German soldiers were attacked by a roadside bomb while patrolling, killing 11 people and 23 people.

People are injured.

If this were replaced in other places, the German army would focus on the attack point and carry out brutal revenge on the surrounding residents, usually randomly arresting people and shooting them, with the number being ten times the number of dead soldiers.

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

Choltitz did not dare to retaliate. Based on his understanding of the Allied forces, if he dared to capture 110 Paris citizens and shoot them, then after the Allied forces regained Paris, they might randomly select 1,100 German prisoners of war to retaliate.

When will the injustice be repaid?

"General, even if your men successfully return to Germany, they will still have to go through the war. This time the war will not only spread to the German border. Even if the Allies do not invade Germany, Russia will go all the way south. You have just returned from the Russian battlefield.

When you come to France, I think you are more willing to deal with the French allies than with the Russians." Karl said more politely, "What are you talking about, just surrender."

Choltitz was silent again.

When the German army swept across Europe, all Germans celebrated.

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

Now it was the Germans' turn to bear the pain of the war. When the Allied forces searched the Germans' homes and found various trophies sent back by German officers and soldiers, they could not say that these things were all picked up.

If you say this, someone must believe it.

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

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

Isn't the Treaty of Versailles rigorous enough? Hundreds of diplomats spent several months formulating it in Paris. How much war reparations did the Germans pay?

When Mustache and Neville signed the Munich Agreement, they also firmly believed that it would win another twenty years of peace for all British people, but in the end it was not directly torn up by Mustache.

Before Operation Barbarossa broke out, there was still a "Non-Aggression Pact" between Germany and Russia——

But so what, the war is not just about to start.

In the past few decades of the new century, there have been too many things that have overturned promises. There is no trust between countries anymore. The spirit of contract that the Europeans had just promoted for a few years has been completely destroyed by the Europeans themselves.

.

As that sentence goes, whatever is emphasized is lacking.

"General, I'm not coming to you with a request, but with an ultimatum. You know what I mean." Karl is not polite, I'm giving you face, right?

Instigating rebellion is, at best, a betrayal of the enemy, and at worst, a threat. If you don't surrender, your whole family will be killed——

That's not right, it's not a threat, it's a statement of fact, because it can really be done.

Things are different now. Germany no longer has the qualifications to raise conditions. If you don’t believe it, go to the Russians. Don’t look at the fact that the Russians took the initiative to ask Germany for peace last year. Now if the little beard sends someone to find it, or if he goes to the big beard, he will send it.

Most people will be killed by the bearded man and sacrificed to heaven.

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

"The only ones I can command are the 20,000 Paris city defense troops. I have no command over the armies around Paris." Choltitz's face turned red and he put his head between his knees, his whole body trembling.

This action fully proves how much Choltitz suffered from making this decision.

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

However, after this world war ends, it is estimated that the Junker aristocracy in Germany will completely cease to exist.

"The situation faced by Marshal Kruger is not much better than that of Marshal Rommel -" Karl's expression was serious, his mustache was 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 even one step in the face of the Allied attack and must fight to the end.

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

If you win this fight, it's easy to say, the winner will do the right thing.

If you lose the fight, Mustache will have something to say.

Who told you not to obey my orders?

Bullets or potassium cyanide, the choice is yours.

Choltitz closed his eyes in pain. The German army was defeated. Ordinary soldiers might have a chance to return to their families. The fate of German generals like him and Kruger was hard to say.

Even if Choltitz completely handed over Paris to the Allies, a court trial would still be needed to ultimately decide Choltitz's fate.

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

There must be secret police around Choltitz, and they must be cleared up in time to ensure that Paris is handed over to the Allies.

After all, the explosives have been installed, and all that remains is to connect the wires to the detonator. This task is not complicated and can be easily completed with simple training.

Choltitz needs a complete plan. If there are any mistakes, it would be okay if a certain bridge is bombed. But if Notre Dame or the Louvre is bombed, the French may become angry. It will be better then.

All promises can be overturned.
