426. European response
The news of Baron Ernst Alexand von Breme, the Grand Marshal of the German Empire's visit to Paris, spread throughout the world in an instant.
The British response was complicated.
They had initially allowed the Free France movement to hold a military parade in London on July 14 to strengthen France's determination to resist.
But now, Baron Alexander has said one word very clearly:
No!
Baron Alexanderson and Germany will never allow such military parades!
If Germany had made such a request before this, Britain would have scoffed, but now it was Baron Alexanderson who made the request in front of the whole world.
After the Baron's glorious return, the Luftwaffe stopped bombing London, which had shown that Germany and Britain understood certain aspects.
The Baron may be the most important bridge between Germany and Britain.
The bombing caused heavy losses to London, although Britain was not afraid of bombing because they had the secret support of Americans behind them.
However, the bombing still put the British in the greatest test. Even with the secret support of the Americans, such bombing was always testing the British's determination to resist.
But now that the bombing has stopped, Britain can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The Baron's speech clearly warned the British that they would either stop the Free Resistance Parade, which is that although it was far away, it was not an "peace" that was difficult to reach; or they would continue to support it, and that would lead to a more tragic war!
Even the British military analyzed that once Germany restarted the war, it is very likely that Baron Alexson personally directed Germany to launch an attack!
This is the most terrible thing!
The party led by the British military general and deputy director of military supplies, Rosen, firmly opposed the government's continued permission to continue the so-called military parade to prevent angering Germany. There is also another benefit of doing so, which can give Britain enough breathing time!
This faction received a large number of support from Sir Monlington.
However, British Prime Minister Churchill believed that there was no need to pay attention to any warnings from the Germans, even if this person was a Skeleton Baron.
Britain must firmly support the Free France movement, support Charles de Gaulle, and jointly resist the war from Germany!
At the same time, we must also consider the face of the British Empire. How could Britain surrender under the threat of the Germans?
I didn't in the past, and I won't in the present either!
The Free France movement led by Charles de Gaulle is also actively active in the UK, hoping to get more support from people and ignore the German threat.
The two factions were competing there, entirely because of Baron Alexanderson's speech.
And this may determine the future fate of Britain
Of course, there is still some time before July, but it is enough for the British to make a decision.
However, the French's mentality was even more complicated at this time.
Baron Alexander has come and publicly expressed his willingness to "peace".
Although the "peace" in the baron's mouth is a bit worrying, this is a chance for France after all.
Three-fifths of French territory are in the hands of the Vichy government, and the prospects for the resistance movement are very bad.
Besides, the Baron is in France. If he commands the German-French coalition forces to launch a large-scale offensive at this time, the remaining two-fifths of the territory will become dangerous.
The enemy that the French Resistance Group is going to face: it is the Skeleton Baron!
And accepting his negotiation proposal may be a good suggestion.
It seems acceptable if they can get what they want in a peaceful way.
There was also fierce debate within the French Resistance Organization.
Peace or war!
The necessary choice must be made!
Although this is very difficult, leaders of the resistance organization have had very serious oppositions about this.
Some people believe that substantial contact should be immediately made with Germany and the Vichy government, understand the other party’s true intentions, and then adopt a peaceful, non-bloody approach to seize the French regime step by step.
This faction is called the "Bloodless School" in future history, and because former French Finance Minister Jacoson is a representative figure, he is also called the "Jacronist School".
Others firmly believed that before all the Germans evacuated France, they would never negotiate with the enemy. Even if the whole of France was turned into scorched earth, the war must be carried out to the end!
This faction is called the "scorched earth faction", and is also called the "Jean Monwa" headed by former French Deputy Minister of Defense Jean Monwa.
The intensity of internal debate is surprising. Even the internal conflicts, which are already full of factions, has become increasingly chaotic and confrontational.
Jacoson decided to act alone and appointed his secretary, Zelank, to begin secretly contact with the Paris side.
However, because the news was unfortunately leaked, Zelank was arrested by the "Jean Monwa" and executed without trial under the name of "treason".
In this way, the contradiction between the "Jacrons" and the "Jean Monvas" completely broke out!
Jacoson firmly denied that Zelank was sent by him and accused Jean Monva of executing a staunch resistance fighter without trial as a law-breaking act, and suggested organizing a special investigation court to investigate the serious incident!
Since the conflict breaks out, it cannot be reconciled
All this originates from a person's words:
Baron Alexander!
This man seemed to hold a magic wand in his hand, and could command his enemies to dance as he wanted.
No tanks or cannons, the inside of the enemy has been cracked in just a few words
Resisting everything that happens within the organization does not affect a person's mood:
Desad!
This veteran French intelligence officer is also an old opponent of Baron Alexanderson.
He knew the power of the Baron too well.
The Baron's every move will dominate Europe as he wants. All the speeches of this man's trip to Paris were nothing more than some conspiracies, with only one purpose:
Completely destroy France!
After Germany occupied Paris, Dessad chose to stay and commanded all the lurking personnel to help resist the resistance of the organization.
Everything went very smoothly, but everything changed until Baron Alexander appeared
He could not forget the humiliation brought to him by Baron Alexander, and could not forget the painful past.
Without Baron Alexson, he would have been promoted to general, rather than being promoted to major general until the fall of Paris.
Shame must be repaid in blood!
Moreover, Baron Alexander had openly challenged himself. Although he was telling all the resistance organizations in France, in Desard's view, he was simply targeting himself!
Kill him! The only way to wash away the shame is to kill him!
"Tomorrow, Ernst's itinerary is to personally supervise the release of captured resistance members in the morning, and he will visit the sick children in the afternoon."
Major Nedaro, a subordinate of Desad, said in his hand with a newly published copy of the Le Paris.
It is not difficult to find out the itinerary of Baron Alexanderson, and it is clearly recorded in the newspapers.
"Is the news accurate?" Desad asked with a gloomy face: "Is it possible that Ernst deliberately spread the news and tempted us to be fooled?"
"Accurate." Nedaro immediately said: "Today we follow Le Paris, Ernst is doing everything according to the published itinerary."
Speaking of this, he was silent: "General, I have to admit that Ernst is still very brave and he is not ready to conceal his itinerary."
Major Desad smiled bitterly: "Yes, he is very brave. When he was in Lance, he dared to openly hijack three tanks and then escape from our roundup with great swagger. There is nothing in this world that he dared not do."
Nedaro had heard of this incident vaguely, but he did not dare to ask about the true experience. This seemed to be a scar in General Desade's heart that he was unwilling to uncover.
"Kill him!" Desade no longer hesitated: "This is why the best, maybe the only chance. As long as Ernst dies, Germany will be in chaos and our morale will be cheered up like never before! Since he has sent this opportunity to us, what else can hesitate?"
"General" Nedaro hesitated: "But this may cause large-scale revenge in Germany, and perhaps the whole of Paris will be filled with corpses!"
"Even if the whole of France is over, France will still have a day to rebuild after killing Ernst!" Dessard has never been so terrible: "You don't know what Ernst means, I know. You don't know the importance of Ernst to Germany, I know! I'm not afraid of being criticized or ridiculed. As long as Ernst can be killed, I can bear any price!"
Nedaro shivered. This was the first time he saw a general so hideous and terrifying.
Desade took Le Paris and looked carefully: "When the prisoners were released, the Germans must be on high alert. We don't have many opportunities to attack. St. Mary's Hospital is a good choice. There are our people there, Nedaro. I decided to take action there and you will lead the team to command. Are you willing?"
"I do!" Nedaro said loudly: "I am willing to pay any price for French freedom!"
"You may not be able to come out alive."
"I still want to, except me, no one is more suitable for this task! General, please give me this glorious task."
"Nedaro, will be the hero of France!" Desade stood up: "When the day of victory comes, the whole French people will remember you!"
"I know, general, this will be my greatest pride!" (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
