Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 109 This may be an opportunity! (Subscribe!)
Faraday didn't know whether the French army was pigs or not, but he knew that if the British army didn't support them, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

"Which is the main attack direction of the German army?" Chamberlain took a deep breath. He felt that he should find out the main attack direction of the German army.

"We should still be preparing to use armored forces to cross the Belgian and Dutch fronts, and still use the Schlieffen Plan. Their so-called Yellow Plan is just a cover. Their real purpose is to disperse our forces." Faraday said without hesitation.

"It seems that your judgment is the same as ours." Chamberlain nodded. This was also the information sent back by the generals on the front line.

They also believe that the so-called Yellow Plan is nothing but a cover.

To confuse them.

Attacking from the Ardennes Forest?
What a joke.

That's a primeval forest.

"Mr. Chamberlain, we hope to have more fighter planes," Faraday mentioned again.

"Well, don't worry. I will immediately send 500 fighter planes to the Air Force for reinforcement. I hope you can regain air supremacy as soon as possible." Chamberlain now regretted why he relaxed the suppression on Germany.

It actually allowed them to have thousands of fighter planes in such a short period of time.

This is a very powerful force.

More importantly, he regretted not sending troops when Poland was divided.

If we had sent troops at that time, the situation might be different now.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

"Mr. Chamberlain, five hundred fighter planes are of no use at all. We need more fighter planes, at least a thousand. If possible, two thousand would be best." Hearing that there were only five hundred fighter planes, Daladier shook his head.

Too little!
What use are these few fighter jets?

Wouldn't going up just be giving heads to the German army?

Don’t you know that the German army has thousands of fighter planes?

Hearing this, Chamberlain almost laughed out of anger. Thousands of fighter planes?
We only have 1,500 fighter jets deployed on our home soil. If I give you 1,000 fighter jets, would you still want the British Isles?

But considering the relationship between the two parties, Chamberlain spoke patiently.

"Mr. Daladier, we can only mobilize 500 fighter planes at the moment."

"But within half a month at most, another 500 fighter planes will be delivered to you."

Now that the war has broken out, production capacity must certainly increase.

After calculating his family's financial situation, Chamberlain spoke again.

"Thank you so much. Let's defeat the evil Germany together. This time we need to completely dismember them and not give them a chance to rise again." Daladier suggested.

"Yes, you are right." Chamberlain nodded in agreement.

Although Chamberlain said this on the surface, in fact, if France was the only dominant country, he would still support Germany.

Because they have to ensure a tight balance in Europe and not allow any one force to become stronger.

Then the two sides discussed some details of the assistance.

Mainly on the first day, although they lost air superiority, overall, the coalition forces still had a great advantage.

Because no one would have thought that the French army would be defeated so badly.

What happened next was totally beyond their expectations.

The strength of the German army shocked them.

And they did attack from the Ardennes Forest.

When the German armored forces appeared near Sedan, everyone in the Allied headquarters was stunned, especially Gamelin.

"Are the Germans crazy? Why didn't they break out from the south of Luxembourg? Why the Ardennes Forest?"

"Why? Why is this happening?" Marshal Gan Molin roared unwillingly.

"How did they get through the Ardennes Forest?" The British commander, Admiral Virick, also looked confused.

Not only him, but others couldn't figure out how this was done.
If it were Luxembourg, they would understand, after all, the transportation there is very developed.

The results of it?
The German army chose the Ardennes Forest, which had the least convenient transportation.

And it passed.

This is incredible.

"Marshal, we only have one division near Sedan. If it is occupied by the Germans, I'm afraid..."

The operations staff officer was interrupted by the communications staff officer before he could finish his words.

"I'm sorry, everyone. Just now, the infantry division stationed in Sedan has surrendered."

"What? Surrender?" Marshal Gan Molin looked incredulous.

"Yes, because there are thousands of tanks there, the defenders can't stop the German attack at all." The communications staff said quickly.

Upon hearing this, Marshal Gan Molin's face turned extremely ugly and he took a deep breath.

"We made a wrong judgment. The main attack direction of the German army has always been the Ardennes Forest."

"It seems that their yellow plan is actually true. These damn Germans are so cunning."

"Not only that, the German army has built a pontoon bridge on the Meuse River, and a large number of tanks and armored vehicles are crossing the river. I believe they will launch a new attack soon."

The communications officer's words made everyone's heart sink.

Everyone knows that the next direction of the German attack will be to the south.

Or head north.

But no matter which direction they choose, it will be a nightmare for the Allies.

At this moment, the British commander, Admiral Verek, spoke hurriedly.

"Marshal Gamolin, should we send out the reserve troops to plug the gap now? We must not let the German army go north, otherwise we will all be doomed."

Three hundred thousand elite British troops were all in his hands. If this was all over, he wouldn't have to go back.

Therefore, he must protect the elite troops in his hands and absolutely no problems can occur in his hands.

"We will send out the reserve troops." Marshal Gan Molin said weakly.

As for whether he has a reserve team, only he knows it.

He now regrets that he shouldn't have been so arrogant.

He also didn't expect that the German army's series of actions were intended to deceive them.

Only after their main force was transferred to the north did they begin to show their true fangs.

The French army is now unable to mobilize elite troops, and those newly trained troops are simply unable to withstand the fierce offensive of the German elite troops.

More importantly, he now had to determine the direction of the German attack.

Is it north or south.

So he can't panic now!
Gotta calm down!
"Admiral Virik, we now need the Air Force to bomb the German armored forces and block their offensive. Now we need more fighter planes." Gamelin looked at Admiral Virik standing aside.

What I mean is that the situation is critical now, and it depends on your fighter planes.

If they had a strong enough air force, they would still have a chance of defeating these German armored forces.

Fortunately, Admiral Virik also knew that the situation was very critical and spoke quickly.

"I immediately sent a telegram to Downing Street asking them to send reinforcements immediately." In fact, the British Air Force Command had formulated a specific bombing plan for the Kleist tank cluster in the Ardennes Mountains.

It just took three days of precious time to consult the British Cabinet.

The result was that no bombing orders were given.

As for the reason, it is unknown.

.........

"What did you say? Sedan was lost? The Germans are coming straight towards us?" After the German army captured Sedan, it sent part of its armored forces straight to Paris, while the rest of the main force attacked northward.

"How did they do that?" Farah said in disbelief.

"The German armored forces are very powerful. Our existing anti-tank weapons are no match for them. The front-line troops can't stop their attacks at all." Marshal Pétain had a telegram with a detailed introduction to the battlefield in his hand. After reading it, his face was gloomy.

"Marshal, what do you think we should do?" Faraday took a deep breath and said in a panic.

"Either we dispatch more troops to stop the German offensive, but our main forces are now on the front line. It will be too late to send reinforcements, and we have also lost air superiority." Marshal Pétain shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Faraday felt bitter.

"It's too late to reorganize the troops, not to mention that the people are very war-weary. If they knew that the front-line troops were about to be surrounded, I think we would all be doomed."

Marshal Pétain naturally knew what he said, but what could he do?
Because he can't solve it at all.

Conscripting men?
I'm afraid Paris will be on strike tomorrow.

So the only other option was to ask the British army for reinforcements.

"I'm afraid that when the British army finds out, the first thing they will think of is transporting the main force back." Faraday shook his head and said painfully.

Hearing this, Marshal Pétain did not refute, because he knew that the British army would definitely do it.

"Then the only way left is surrender. We must never let the German army occupy Paris." Marshal Pétain said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Let me think about it." Faraday did not refuse, but just said that he would think about it again.

…………

Chamberlain on the other side was also stunned after receiving the news.

Faraday had assured him not long ago that it was absolutely impossible for the German army to break through the Ardennes Forest.

result?

The German army not only broke through the Ardennes Forest, but also captured Sedan.

"Didn't the French army try to plug this gap?" Chamberlain asked his secretary.

"No, this is a telegram just sent by the Air Force. They hope to send the Air Force to bomb the German armored forces in the Ardennes Forest. If possible, there is still great hope of stopping the German offensive." The secretary shook his head and said.

"What does the Air Force think? Can they stop the German fighter planes?" Chamberlain did not answer, but asked back.

"The Air Force says there's little hope," the secretary continued.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, His Majesty the King asks you to go over." At this time, another person came in and said respectfully.

Hearing this, Chamberlain sighed in his heart, he knew that it was time to decide his fate.

When he arrived at the palace, he saw that the First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill had already arrived, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"Prime Minister, do you think the French army can still hold the line?" asked George VI.

The tone was calm, and there didn't seem to be any panic.

This made Chamberlain feel relieved.

There is no need to panic. After all, the most powerful royal fleet has not suffered any losses.

There is still hope for them.

"We can't hold it. The German attack is too fast. It is estimated that it won't be long before the million-strong Allied force will be surrounded." Chamberlain told the truth.

"In that case, we must find a way to withdraw the 300,000 expeditionary forces. They are the elite of the British Empire. I have decided to leave this matter to Sir Churchill." George VI looked at Chamberlain and asked.

Hearing this, Chamberlain understood instantly.

This means completely abandoning France.

Thinking of this, Chamberlain's face became extremely ugly.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Churchill said respectfully.

George VI nodded, looked at Chamberlain, and then said another sentence.

"Prime Minister, when this is over, you should go home and take a look at the back garden. I heard the flowers there are in full bloom."

Hearing this, Chamberlain remained silent. He knew he had been abandoned.

Letting him go home is to give him dignity.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will leave all these matters to Sir Churchill." After Chamberlain finished speaking, he was about to leave the palace, but Churchill followed him.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the British Empire is now at a critical moment of life and death. Your approach is not suitable for the current situation." Churchill spoke with respect, but in fact he was full of disdain.

He has always felt that Chamberlain's conciliatory policy was to allow the German army to grow stronger.

Now the German counterattack began.

"Oh? I want to know how you plan to solve this problem? Are you going to send reinforcements? And what about those weapons and equipment? The Japanese army in the Far East is attacking our colonies." Chamberlain stopped and asked.

"I have contacted the United States, and they have promised to provide us with weapons and equipment, and even send volunteer troops when necessary." Churchill said calmly.

"Is this your solution?" Chamberlain probably guessed what the other party was thinking and sneered.

The son sells his father's land. Doesn't he know how to do this?

The reason why he was unwilling to do so was simply because he wanted to maintain the dignity of the British Empire.

If Fatty Qiu follows his approach, I'm afraid that by the time the war is over, the British Empire will have lost even the most basic dignity.

By then, his fate may not be much better than mine.

"As long as we can resolve the current crisis, the British Empire will remain the world's number one hegemon," Churchill said confidently.

"Is it impossible to negotiate with the German army?" Chamberlain asked in return.

"No, never." Churchill screamed as if his tail was stepped on.

Hearing this, Chamberlain sighed and stopped talking.

.........

"This may be an opportunity for us." In the White House, Roosevelt looked at the secretary in front of him with a smile on his face.

Since there are going to be huge changes on the European continent, it is indeed a good opportunity for them.

They even had the opportunity to take over the colonies of the British Empire.

After all, Churchill assured on the phone that if the gold reserves were insufficient, he could cede some islands, etc.

You know, America has always been coveting those islands in the Caribbean Sea.

If we can take this opportunity to get it back, it will be a great achievement.

"Mr. President, MacArthur sent a telegram saying that something happened on Luzon Island." Just then, the secretary walked in with a telegram and said in panic.
