The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

Chapter 54



To be honest, Montgomery was very embarrassed. If he was asking for naval reinforcements, he would have asked the First Minister of the Navy, Pound, to dispatch all the warships without hesitation.

But it was too difficult to dispatch the air force, because the air force had been frightened and did not dare to attack. If he asked the air force to attack now, he would definitely be scolded by Marshal Dowding.

Even though Montgomery had countless military exploits, he still had no way to deal with Marshal Dowding, because the other party's prestige and qualifications were very high, so he could only respond vaguely.

"I understand. I will contact the Air Force. However, you must hold the line. As long as we repel the German navy, the so-called landing will be a joke. Before that, you must hold the line."

"Yes, Commander, please rest assured that we will hold the line. Lieutenant General Philip quickly responded.

………

On the other side, in France, the Presidential Conference Room and the cabinet ministers all gathered here. They gathered here for only one purpose, that is, to discuss whether the navy should attack.

At this time, the French Navy and the Royal Navy can be said to be in a situation of life and death. They were originally the top five naval powers in the world, but as a result of a crossbow operation, the French Navy is now in a miserable state, with only some small sampans left. Although the navy has recovered a little in the past two years, there is no large battleship left, only some cruisers.

"Is everyone here? Then let the meeting begin. President Petain glanced around and said slowly:

"The Germans wanted us to send our navy to land on the British Isles with them. Of course, they also offered a condition that after defeating the British, they would share half of our warships."

"In addition, there will be a reduction in war reparations, and some prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camps will be released one after another."

After President Petain finished speaking, many people were talking about it.

"This is very sincere."

"In this way, our financial pressure will be greatly reduced."

"Do they have the confidence to defeat the British army?"

Of course, some people disagreed. After all, this was related to the fate of the country. Once the French army really joined the war and failed, they would definitely be liquidated.

However, the conditions proposed by the German army made it impossible for them to refuse, so many people were still tempted, and even swallowed their saliva subconsciously.

"Mr. President, although the conditions are very good, whether it can be won is another matter. The German army has not landed successfully, how can it defeat the British army?"Marshal Darlan said coldly.

Hearing this, many people agreed with this view. If the German army had landed successfully now, they would definitely agree to this condition.

"The German army has a very advanced fighter plane that can reach a speed of over 1,000 kilometers per hour."President Pétain said again

""Not enough, Mr. President, this is far from enough. It is not enough to rely on fighter planes to defeat the British army." Darlan still disagreed with the German army's conditions unless he could see the hope of victory.

At this time, the secretary hurriedly came in, looked at President Pétain, and said

"Mr. President, the German troops have landed successfully and have taken down the first line of defense in Dover Harbor. They are now advancing deeper into the harbor."

Hearing this, many people's faces changed drastically. Even Marshal Darlan opened his mouth wide, looked at the secretary in disbelief, and asked,"Is this true?"

"Yes, the German vanguard has taken the beachhead and is heading deeper into the enemy territory."The secretary said with certainty.

""Huh." Marshal Darlan took a deep breath and slowly said,"Mr. President, I think we should make a decision."

At this time, if we don't announce our joining the war, we will definitely be held accountable by the German army. Darlan is not a fool. The reason he opposed it is that he didn't see the hope of victory. But now it's different. The German army has successfully landed. With the strength of the German army, it is definitely not a problem to push to London.

After all, the British army is not a bear with tens of millions of troops. A few hundred thousand troops are nothing in front of the German army.

Not to mention that the German army now has air superiority.

"Well, let the navy prepare and obey the German army's orders, but also maintain its autonomy. President Pétain said meaningfully.

"Yes."

On the other side, Auguste received a telegram from President Pétain and sneered:"Fence-sitters!""

"But it’s not too late to join now"

"How are the missile torpedo ships prepared?" August turned his head and asked.

Fifty missile torpedo ships have been prepared long ago, and they are classified as top secret. Except for a few people, no one else knows, so there is no leakage.

And they will become August's trump card. A full hundred missiles will definitely hit the Royal Fleet hard.

Without the Royal Fleet, the British army is a tiger without fangs. You can hammer it as you want. Unless the United States gives up the Far East and fully supports the British army, it is only a matter of time before the British Isles are breached.
