Wang Chenhao knew that France had no hope. Faced with the powerful Germany, the Chinese Empire could only choose to stand on the side of the Allies. Helping the weak defeat the strong is in line with the Chinese Empire's future global strategy.

However, the people in the Chinese Empire still opposed the empire's participation in the war, and the British and French coalition forces in Dunkirk would undoubtedly die without the help of the Chinese Empire. Then Britain would be severely damaged, which is not in line with the Chinese Empire's future strategic plan...

Therefore, the Chinese Empire chose to accept Britain as a member of the Greater China Co-Prosperity Circle and included Britain in the scope of protection. At the same time, the Chinese Empire expected Germany's opposition and promised Germany that it would prevent Britain from continuing to fight with Germany and end the British-German war. In addition, the Chinese Empire also threatened Germany that if Germany did not agree, the Chinese Empire would terminate its oil supply to Germany and would have to participate in the war.

Hitler was very annoyed and was about to kill the main forces of Britain and France in one breath. But at this time the Chinese Empire intervened. Hitler was not afraid of the oil threat from the Chinese Empire, because the United States had opened up the Arctic Ocean route and continuously transported oil to Germany. What Hitler was worried about was that there was no benefit in going to war with the Chinese Empire, and at least it could not go to war with the Chinese Empire until Germany's own nuclear bomb was developed.

Considering that the Chinese Empire would prevent Britain from continuing to go to war with Germany, Hitler believed that if the armistice with Britain, France could make an end to the death and avoid the danger of fighting on both sides, and could do its best to deal with the Soviet Union. At the same time, the strength of the British Royal Navy should not be underestimated, and the armistice between Britain and Germany would also be beneficial to Germany.

So Hitler agreed to mediation of the Chinese Empire, Britain and Germany secretly reached a ceasefire agreement, and Hitler also gave up the elimination of hundreds of thousands of alliance teams in Dunkirk.

The UK urgently sent thousands of ships to transport hundreds of thousands of contract teams from Dunkirk back to the UK, and the Chinese Empire also urgently dispatched hundreds of transport ships and planes to assist in the transportation. In the end, Charles and other 724,000 contract teams stranded in Dunkirk were rescued, and hundreds of thousands of Frenchmen were also followed by the UK along the coast.

Of course, what Germany needs is time. It was time to develop the atomic bomb before going to war with the Chinese Empire, so Hitler chose to compromise. He watched more than 700,000 concession teams and millions of tons of weapons and equipment safely evacuate France and return to Britain.

Of course, the Chinese Empire would not really keep its promises. Political deception has always been the best thing for the Chinese Empire. However, in order to safely rescue more than 700,000 new forces in Dunkirk, the Chinese Empire had to reach a secret agreement with Germany. After rescuing these more than 700,000 new forces, the Chinese Empire could completely regret it and join the war.

Similarly, Hitler was well aware of this, so he ordered the German army to immediately attack all parts of France and take over France before the Chinese Empire had even regretted it.

The devastating counterattack carried out by the German army in Belgium and northern France made the 39 divisions of the agreement no longer exist. The new French commander Wei Gang pieced together 49 divisions and two British divisions. He formed three armies to form a "Wei Gang Line of Defense" about 300 miles east-west and east-west lines, and defended the Maginot Line with 17 divisions. The two lines of defense were connected together, trying to prevent the German army from moving south.

After the German army recovered the Netherlands, Belgium and northern France, the German Command formulated the second phase of the Battle of France code-named "Red Plan". This plan required the German army to lead the troops south and completely defeat France.

Now the German army has a total of 137 divisions, and the two armies of the A and B are quickly reorganized. Baoke's B army group is the right wing, and it is a breakthrough on the front side of the Somme River, while the Ranced A army group is the left wing. It is a front side assault on the Aine River.

On March 26, the Luftwaffe launched a fierce bombardment at the French airport and the rear. At dawn on the 27th, Baoke's B Army Group took the lead in launching a full-line attack on the right wing. On that day, the German 7th Armored Division crossed the Somme first and cut off the French 10th Army, which was defending Abveur, Verdun, in half, and other German divisions were able to rush forward from this gap.

On March 28, the German army entered the banks of the Seine River and turned north, rushed 50 miles away in one breath, aiming at the coastline. It arrived at its destination that night, cutting off the retreat route of the French 9th Army and the British 51st Division, which were retreating to the coast. These troops were forced to surrender to the German army, and the British army was disarmed and sent to Dunkirk to use this as a bargaining chip to further delay the remorse of the Chinese Empire. The British authorities also hoped to rescue the captured British troops safely, so they promised that the agreement would continue to be effective.

After the attack of the B Army Group, the Lensed Army Group also launched a crossing offensive on the Aina River on March 29. That night, the 1st armored division of the Aina Army installed the Aina Army, forcing the crossing of the Aina River. On April 1, the Guderian Corps defeated the French armored troops and broke through the right wing of the French 6th Army. After that, Guderian rushed south and went straight into a state of no one. Groups of French prisoners threw their guns to the German army in despair and put them under the tank to crush them.

On April 5, Gudri's A Corps A arrived at the Swiss border town of Pantalil, cutting off the retreat of the French army to Switzerland in the Maginot Line. Since crossing the Aene River, Gudri's A Corps A Corps A drove more than 400 kilometers in ten days and captured as many as 250,000 French troops, creating a wonder in the history of war.

With the Germans' advance in, the French government was forced to withdraw from Paris and move to Tours, which was later declared an unguarded city to prevent the Germans from damaging war. A few days later, when the French government moved to Bordeaux, the German army occupied Paris without a single shot and an ammunition.

On the day the German army occupied Paris, the left wing of the German Army Group A Group had advanced to the side of the Maginot Line. Because this useless line of defense, there were still hundreds of thousands of French troops who had not surrendered or were eliminated. At the same time, in the north of the Maginot Line, hundreds of thousands of troops of General Scott were restrained in the Alsace area. These were the enemies that the German army wanted to eliminate.

Hitler asked Lensted to cooperate with the C Army Group to completely eliminate the French troops there. According to the combat order No. 15 issued by Hitler, the C Army Group, which had been in person in Alsace, immediately selected the weak points of the Scott Army, namely the joint of the Alsace region and Lorraine, to launch an attack.

a and c two armies attacked front and back. More than 100,000 French defenders on the Maginot Line surrendered without fighting, causing the Scott Army Group in Alsace to be attacked from both sides and behind the scenes. Soon the Scott Army Group was surrounded. In less than three days, Scott also chose to surrender like other French generals.

On April 17, the Betton Army was in a hurry to supply the supply group in Metz. Betton tried to break through but failed, so Betton surrendered.

At this point, the main force of France was either annihilated or fled to Britain, and the rest became prisoners of the German army. When they learned that Britain had signed a ceasefire agreement with Germany, the French people were as if they had been betrayed and gave up their last will to resist. They signed a ceasefire agreement with Germany and prepared to surrender to Germany.

France, known as the European military power, was defeated four years after the outbreak of World War II.

Germany suddenly obtained equipment from nine elite armored divisions and more than a dozen mechanized infantry divisions in Metz, all of which were the Chinese-armed equipment that made the Germans salivate. Hitler was very happy. In order to commend Betel's contribution, Hitler recommended Betel as the future agent of Germany in France.

According to the French-German ceasefire agreement, most of France had been occupied by the German army at this time, with only the southern and southeastern areas exceptions. The French parliament then passed a bill to grant Betton the constitution, legislative, administrative and judicial powers, and suspend the constitution, so that Betton had the power of a dictator.

The Bertan government was headquartered in the non-occupied area of ​​central France, so it was called the "Vichi Government". The Vichhi government provided a large amount of supplies to the Axis powers. It also ordered the French army in overseas territories to abandon their status as an Allies and join the Allies. It also allowed the Allies to transit across France's overseas territories. However, in less than ten days, Hitler changed his mind again, and the German army suddenly occupied the remaining non-occupied areas of France. At this point, France was completely under Germany's control.

Within a few weeks before the German army completely occupied France, the Chinese Empire and Britain jointly launched an operation code-named "ambulance", which brought a large number of overseas Chinese in France, British overseas Chinese and French people willing to follow China and Britain to the UK to resettle. At the same time, the Chinese Empire Navy Atlantic Fleet, Mediterranean Fleet and the Royal British Navy's local fleet jointly operated, forcibly disarming the main fleet of the French Navy in Toulon and Brest, controlled all French warships, and drove back to Britain. Most of the French main ships were handed over to the British Navy. The Chinese Empire Navy was not interested in the main ships of the French Navy and was not of level enough.

At the same time, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Chen Hao, sent a special force into Paris, transporting all the cultural relics in the Louvre Palace in Paris and the precious historical documents in the Paris National Library to the international airplane of the Chinese Empire, and then transported them back to the Chinese Empire. A considerable number of the cultural relics were stolen goods when the British and French forces robbed the Old Summer Palace, and now they are all returned to the Chinese Empire.

Of course, the famous painting Mona Lisa of Da Vinci was specially designated by Wang Chenhao. This painting was given priority to the Forbidden City and was kept in Wang Chenhao's master bedroom. It was not until many years later that Wang Chenhao was tired of seeing it and was handed over to the Empire Museum for collection.

At the same time, as one of the conditions for joining the Greater China Co-prosperity Circle, the United Kingdom also included returning the cultural relics robbed by the British army from the Old Summer Palace. At the same time, as the mastermind of the setting fire in the Old Summer Palace, Churchill drafted a formal apology on behalf of the British government, made a sincere apology to the government and people of the Chinese Empire, and fully compensated the losses of the Old Summer Palace, and was responsible for recovering the lost cultural relics and handing them over to the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire will use the compensation of the British government of 13.2 million dragon coins to rebuild the Old Summer Palace to restore its original grand historical appearance.

The Chinese Empire stopped the supply contract to France. As of the eve of France's surrender, France had a lot of balances of gold and silver placed in the Chinese Empire, equivalent to a dragon currency of up to 57 billion yuan. These are the deposits of weapons, equipment and military supplies that France originally used for large-scale counterattack operations. The Chinese Empire originally planned to start delivering the second batch of materials in June 1942. Now it will not deliver or refund. Instead, it is preparing to support the Charles de Gaulle government in exile in Britain. However, in fact, the Charles de Gaulle government was stranded in Britain and had no chance to counterattack Europe at all. Only a small part of this money was used to pay the living expenses of the French army in the UK. Most of them were spent by the Chinese Empire and the UK for various reasons of "unknown destinations".

The news of France's rapid defeat shocked the whole world. The entire Allied camp was in a huge crisis, and Britain joined the Greater China Co-prosperity Circle to seek asylum of the Chinese Empire and signed an armistice agreement with Germany, resulting in the only ones that had resistance in the entire Allied camp were the Soviet Union and Mexico, who simply had grudges with the United States. They didn't care about Europe at all, and they would not help the Soviet Union.

Germany's sudden Jedi counterattack, even the Chinese Empire was caught off guard. Previously, the Chinese Empire was still worried about whether the Allies' counterattack would destroy Germany, and was still worried about Germany. Now the situation has reversed, Germany has destroyed France in an instant and controlled most of Europe. The Chinese Empire has suddenly set off a German threat theory. Many imperial citizens who were still in a wait-and-see attitude have expressed their suggestions one after another. The latest poll by the Chinese Empire Times showed that the proportion of the Chinese Empire's citizens who were worried about the rapid expansion of the power of the allies has risen sharply, reaching a historic 40%, while the same poll previously showed that it was less than 11%.

The poll results of the Chinese Empire's citizens will greatly affect the attitude of the Chinese Empire's Congress. Previously, the members of Congress focused on making money from war, but with France being destroyed by Germany, the power of the Allies was severely damaged, and the balance of Europe had been broken, and the Chinese Empire had to make a choice.

In the imperial study room of the Forbidden City, after the court meeting, Wang Chenhao left Song Jiaoren and Zhang Zizhong alone and made the final decision.

Previously, at the dynasty meeting, the two sides of the Imperial Government had in-depth discussions on the issue of World War II, and reached a basically consensus on whether the Chinese Empire will join the war in the future, which side to join, how to fight, and its impact on the imperial economy. They have set a general direction.

The imperial government finally decided to start a war against the United States and Germany, but the specific time to start a war has not been clarified. The key reason is that the Soviet Union and the Chinese Empire's attitude towards the Soviet Union has not undergone any essential changes.

Because the Chinese Empire has different ideology from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union blocked the German army's crazy attack in adversity, its combat effectiveness made the Chinese Empire uneasy. If the Chinese Empire fought against Germany, the Soviet Union would obviously become an ally. The Chinese Empire had full confidence in defeating Germany, so Wang Chenhao had to consider the post-war issues. Obviously, after the demise of Germany, the Soviet Union would rise wildly. As a neighbor, how could the Chinese Empire accommodate such a powerful neighbor next to him?

"Your Majesty, I think the Soviet Union can still hold on!" Song Jiaoren saw Wang Chenhao's concerns, so he said: "In the current state of the Soviet Union, as long as the empire supports them later, they may continue to consume Germany. In this way, the empire will not have to rush to join the war, use the Soviet Union to consume Germany, and consume them until they cannot get up, the empire can take action to destroy both of them at the same time."

It was precisely because of this concern that Wang Chenhao did not want to start a war against Germany immediately, because once the war against Germany began, the Chinese Empire would not be able to attack the Soviet Union due to international public opinion. The Soviet Union would even use this as an excuse to choose to join the Greater China Co-prosperity Circle. At that time, it would develop and grow with the help of the Chinese Empire, which would inevitably become a major concern of the Chinese Empire.

If the Chinese Empire supports the Soviet Union and Germany behind their backs, when the consumption between them is almost the same, the Chinese Empire will quickly destroy Germany. It will be very easy to destroy the Soviet Union with the backhand, and it will not make the Soviet Union bigger.

It can be said that Wang Chenhao was so afraid of the Soviet Union after World War II that he had to consider this issue at this moment, just to try every means to weaken the Soviet Union and not allow the Soviet Union to rise.

It is obvious that the speed and strength of the Soviet Union are now constantly showing, so Wang Chenhao is more convinced of his view that Germany and the Soviet Union must be eliminated at the same time.

Under this premise, as Song Jiaoren suggested, the Soviet Union and Germany could be used to continue fighting and consume them as much as possible. In this way, the Chinese Empire could not only continue to sell arms, but also achieve the strategic goal of weakening the Soviet Union and Germany at the same time.

"According to me, the empire might simply show off its nuclear weapons and destroy Germany, the Soviet Union and the United States!"

Wang Chenhao smiled and said, "Although this is the fastest way, it is estimated that this world war can end in a short period of time. But have you ever thought about the consequences?"

The consequences? Zhang Zizhong doesn’t understand.

Wang Chenhao looked at Song Jiaoren, who then added: "That's right! Although the empire has nuclear weapons, this can only deter other countries from being afraid to attack us, but it cannot be a weapon we use to attack other countries."

Zhang Zizhong was a little confused. The nuclear weapons he had finally developed were not actively used to attack the enemy. So why do you need nuclear weapons?

Song Jiaoren continued: "If the empire uses nuclear weapons to other countries, although they can successfully end the war and destroy Germany, the Soviet Union and the United States, will they be willing to do so? The blood debt will be paid sooner or later. One day in the future, I cannot guarantee whether any of them have developed nuclear weapons. At that time, they will launch crazy revenge, which will bring eternal pain to the empire."

Song Jiaoren's words came to Wang Chenhao's heart. That's what Wang Chenhao thought. He knew very well that the United States in history was the only country to use atomic bombs to attack the enemy. Although the United States forced Japan to surrender at that time, the Americans were uneasy since then because the whole world knew that the United States was the first and only country to deal with human beings with nuclear weapons. It can be said that Americans are anti-human in the eyes of the people of the world. This led to no nuclear country that would be assured of the United States, and the United States was also a country that developed nuclear weapons everywhere because it was afraid of being retaliated. If he could make a new choice, perhaps the United States would not use nuclear weapons back then, but instead defeated Japan by conventional force. The mistake was that the US government at that time did not know the future consequences of using nuclear weapons.
