Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Although the timetable of this time and space is somewhat different from the original time and space, the British still raided the French warships anchored in Portsmouth and Plymouth naval ports in the United Kingdom on the third day after France and Germany signed the armistice, disarmed them, and took over the fleet.

Then in the French West Indies, the local French fleet reached an agreement with the United States and disarmed.

It can be said that the first half of "Operation Ballista" was a complete success.

But these did not satisfy Churchill and the British Navy. Their ultimate goal was the Oran military port on the North African coast, the main gathering place for the French navy. There are many major warships such as "Slatsberg", "Dunkirk", "Bretagne" and "Provence" parked there. Unlike the British navy, which has a large number but is mostly old, most of the French navy's ships are new warships built in the 1920s and 1930s.

Just as the British Navy was gearing up to head to the Oran naval port, a group of Germans holding Pétain's warrant had already arrived secretly and boarded the battleship Dunkirk. "Hello, Your Majesty General Jean Sur, long time no see."

General Marcel Bruno, commander of the French squadron, was surprised to see the coming man. "Hoffman? Why are you here?" He had long received news that the German High Command had sent a group of special commissioners, but he did not expect that the leader of the team would be a distant relative of his. A few years ago, he was a guest at his home. If calculated according to seniority, Hoffman would have to call him uncle.

Hoffman smiled. "It's a long story. I'm on official business right now, so I won't call you uncle. I must have received the order from Prime Minister Pétain, right? The general, right? If not, I have a warrant issued by Prime Minister Pétain."

General Jean Soul nodded. "I have received the order. The Dunkirk and Slatersberg will be delivered to you in a few days."

Hoffman shook his head slightly. "The order of the high command has changed. The only one we want to receive is the Dunkirk."

"Really?!" Suer couldn't help but feel happy. No matter what the reason was, this was good news.

Hoffman said extremely seriously. "Your Excellency, General, we are here to carry out a secret mission. Prime Minister Pétain also agreed and authorized us. Please, Your Excellency, General, order that all ships shall not leave the port."

Although General Jeansur was curious about what mission they were performing, he also knew that even if he asked, he would not be able to find out anything. He ordered the fleet not to leave the port, and even called back the destroyers patrolling outside the port.

Hoffmann, who stayed in the captain's cabin, chatted with General Jeansur about household matters and the situation; he didn't get ready to sleep until late at night.

However, General Jean Soule, who was lying on the bed, could not fall asleep. He tossed and turned for a long time when he heard Hoffman on the simple bed beside him ask. "Uncle, can't you sleep?"

General Jean Sur stood up and sat up, sighing. "I feel like something is going to happen, I'm a little uneasy." I don't know why, but there is a trace of uneasiness in his heart for no reason, and he always feels that something big is going to happen.

Hoffman laughed. "Uncle, you also said that you are old, but I don't think you are old at all. Your sixth sense is still so sensitive."

Let General Soul turn on the light and look at Hoffman. "Do you know anything?"

Hoffman shrugged. "Actually, I didn't tell you that you would know in a few hours. If I tell you now, it won't be a surprise, right? Since you can't sleep, how about we play chess?"

Seeing his confident and calm look, General Suer shook his head and took out a box of chess.

The two of them played chess for a long time, and Hoffman yawned. "Uncle, it's almost dawn, is it time to go to bed?"

General Jean Sur was indeed sleepy. "It's time to rest."

Just as he was about to lie down, there was a rapid knock on the door. "Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Commander, are you asleep?"

Hoffmann was excited. "Looks like he's coming."

General Suhr glanced at Hoffmann, who was so excited that his voice trembled slightly, in confusion. "Come in."

The adjutant came in, saluted and reported. "Your Excellency, Commander, Captain Holland of the British Navy wants to board the ship and have a meeting with you."

"Colonel Holland? What is he here for?" General Jean Sur was slightly startled, thought for a while, and shook his head. "Let Colonel Holland go back. I don't have time to see him."

Just as the adjutant was about to turn around and leave, Hoffman suddenly spoke. "Wait! Uncle, it's rare for an old friend to come, so what if we meet him? Maybe he gave you a gift?"

General Jean Sur glanced at him and took out a document from the drawer. "Commander-in-Chief Darlan ordered that all French naval fleet commanders at all levels must not have any contact with the British. How could I disobey military orders?"

Hoffman smiled disapprovingly and patted his briefcase. "I still have an order from Marshal Pétain. Don't you obey the Marshal's two orders? Even if General Darlan wants to pursue the case, let him pursue it to the German High Command."

"..." General Jean Sur hesitated for a moment and nodded towards his adjutant. "Then invite him to come up."

After a while, Colonel Holland was brought up wearing British naval uniform. "General Jean Sur, long time no see."

General Jean Sur responded lukewarmly. "Colonel Holland, what are you doing here?"

"Who is this?" Colonel Holland looked at Hoffman aside.

Hoffman gave a slight salute. "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Hoffmann, the special commissioner of the German High Command and the future captain of the Dunkirk." Looking at Colonel Holland, whose expression changed, a strange look appeared on Hoffmann's face. smile. "Presumably Colonel Holland came here to persuade General Suer to lead the fleet and join your navy, right? Did you bring a greeting gift?"

Looking at the joking expression on Hoffman's face, Colonel Holland suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if he had fallen into a trap and walked into the hunter's net without knowing it. He tried hard to suppress the inexplicable fear in his heart, looked at General Jean Sur, and asked. "Your Excellency General, what is going on?"

General Jean Sur said with an angry look on his face. "This is the situation. Marshal Pétain is very angry at your country's shameless behavior. First, our warships were detained in your country's port, and then the French West Indies. This caused our navy to lose ten Several warships. This is simply intolerable to him. Even the Germans have not done such a shameless thing, but you, as allies, have done it. It is simply unreasonable!"
