“I will definitely come back.”

At this, de Gaulle looked at the country that was getting farther away.

Captain Joffre was the only one with him, who secretly boarded a neutral merchant ship.

After the rest of them dispersed, they lost contact, were killed, or were seriously injured, so they could not travel long distances.

De Gaulle swore and vowed to see the land receding away.

Whether it’s America, Russia, or anyone else’s hand, I will definitely come back and take revenge with the blood of the Germans and British.

The French navy was also heavily damaged. Many of the main ships were sunk, and the battleships and aircraft carriers escaping from the collapsing homeland were pursued by the British Navy relentlessly.

Of course, some ships did the reverse and smashed the British main ships into the Dragon Palace, but some were sunk.

The Mediterranean-bound fleet went to the Balkans or Algeria in the face of the Italian navy, and the Atlantic-bound fleet crossed the Atlantic and headed for the New World.

As a result, their escape from the Atlantic was unsuccessful, but the Mediterranean fleet was barely able to escape the attack by the British and Italian naval forces with the support of the Yugoslav naval forces.

The number of ships that succeeded in escaping reached 70, including three battleships, including two Joan of Arc-class battleships, and seven cruisers.

Of course, the remaining ships had to either be sunk or fall into German and British hands.

And Spain was attacked. Due to Mussolini’s reckless start of war, Hitler supported Italy, although he grabbed the back of his neck. Eventually, the Spanish government surrendered, and the Nationalists who had previously fled to England returned to take power.

“Did France lift the white flag?”

“Yes that’s right.”

It’s not six weeks in this world. Yes, not 6 weeks.

The French soldiers clearly resisted fiercely.

However, the resistance was not organized, sporadic, and divisional attacks in regiments could not change the charter.

It was natural to lose the air superiority to the joint attack of Britain and Germany, to face the enemy from the front and the rear at the same time, and to be unable to play with one’s own limbs properly.

‘At the beginning, the six weeks were the biggest problem with the French army’s rigid command system and outdated plans.’

Unless that part was improved, defeat was inevitable.

“And Norway was attacked by Britain and Sweden by Germany.”

“……What?”

“The justification is that we got supplies from Norway and Sweden.”

“Damn.”

I can’t say enough about this… Not only did we get supplies from Norway and Sweden, but we also got supplies from the US through Norway and Sweden.

In addition, the Korean navy was attached to Swedish territorial waters with the acquiescence of Sweden and moved to the North Sea to avoid the eyes of the German navy. Of course, on the return trip, he was ordered to enter Vladivostok via Panama and not in the European direction – it is understandable that he decided to take control of Norway and Sweden to ensure a solid blockade.

Of course I can’t let that happen.

“If Norway and Sweden all fall apart by mobilizing all available powers of the Baltic Fleet and the North Sea Fleet, the future war will be difficult.”

“All right.”

I got up.

“Minister of Foreign Affairs, are there any achievements?”

“It appears that the Japanese Empire has no intention of being hostile to its own country.”

“Not that much.”

“In addition, the Japanese Navy has been assured that it will not cause harm to Russian merchant ships in the Pacific Ocean.”

In the original history, Japan moved to Soviet ships even during the Pacific War, and tolerated the landless under the premise that it was a non-combat item.

Again, Japan did not declare war on us in observance of the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

To be honest, I was busy eating China, but it seemed like a sign that I didn’t want to go to war with Russia.

It was good for us too.

I sincerely hope that you will continue to do so, and then bomb Pearl Harbor and give your soul to the furious America to the very end.

The landless route of the original history was completely blocked as long as Britain became hostile, but if Japan intervenes, there is no real answer.

In any case, no matter what goods are being loaded, Japan does not touch our merchant ships. In fact, American merchant ships are not particularly touched.

Then you should crave it as much as possible.

“Let the Foreign Ministry continue to contact President Huey Long by any means possible. You’ll agree that Franklin Roosevelt’s faction, now Britain and Germany, shouldn’t stand by. Of course, don’t just stick with that one, but do everything you can to get in touch with American politics.”

Roosevelt is still energetically active after resigning after eight years. Even Huey Long is not completely free from Roosevelt’s influence, and Roosevelt is showing a hostile attitude toward Germany and Britain.

“These days, there is a lot of talk about the need for war on the American side as well. It is quite possible for the United States to participate in the war if there is a specific opportunity.”

“It’s a war.”

Well, it’s a chance anyway, because the Japanese will give you plenty of it anyway, so it doesn’t seem to matter, but if the public opinion that war in the US is strong is strong… What the hell is going on?

“The sense of crisis that all sides of South America, Canada, England and Japan are enemies seems to be quite severe…”

Well, if the war begins now, the United States will have to deal with the South American countries with Oceania and Japan in the Pacific, Canada in the north, Britain, Germany and Japan reaching out and going against the United States in the south, and the Royal Navy in the Atlantic Ocean.

It’s like that, so it wouldn’t be strange to hear stories about fighting when there’s an ally called Russia. It makes sense if the sense of crisis increased after seeing France crumble.

“The achievements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this time are also significant. The US government has promised to supply us with F4Us within one year.”

“Isn’t development over yet?”

I wrinkled my face. What we need is not a Corsair in a year or two, but a fighter that will face the Bf109 and Spitfire right now.

It’s a bit overwhelming for an existing aircraft. Is it the pilot or the aircraft?

Well, pecking America right now doesn’t make it any better.

“Boeing….no, I got my hands on that human fighter, I’ll have to work on Dr. Dornier a bit more.”

This gentleman would ask for more time, but we don’t have time.

“French tanks and armored vehicles were found on the Middle East Front. It appears to be captured and operated by the German Army.”

A few photos were stuck in the file folder.

In fact, it is not a day or two that the German army uses capture equipment, but the meaning of it being found in the Sinai Peninsula is heavier than you think.

It means that German forces have joined the Middle East.

“What level of performance?”

“The AMC 1935 S, German designation Panzerkampfwagen 35-S 739(f), outperformed our light tanks, but showed weakness against medium tanks, especially the T-32.”

Of course you have to be vulnerable. How much money and tech I put into making that damn tank debut years early.

***

Sinai Peninsula, Egypt.

An S-35 tank with an iron cross was shot and set on fire by an 85mm tank gun.

The AMD.35 armored car fired a 25mm cannon to kill it, but even a gun capable of destroying a Panzer IV has an inclination of 60 degrees and a thickness of 85mm, which is twice the armor of the 2C tank, which is a super-heavy tank. It could not penetrate the front hull armor of an enemy medium tank that was too thick.

“Ha ha ha ha! charge! Keep pushing!”

Ungern was crazy.

It was worthwhile to receive a large amount of medium tank support while going through all kinds of uproar in the home country.

Behold, the British army’s anti-tank guns are lightly deflected and advanced, and the tanks are pierced and destroyed.

To use this good thing only on the European front, it sounds like a no-brainer. When I heard the story that all tanks except for the heavy tanks would be replaced by this series of tanks in the future, I was delighted.

The 6-pounder has not yet been deployed in combat, so only 2-pounders are all anti-tank guns on the defensive line, and if you directly fire artillery or anti-aircraft guns, the T-32 will not be defeated with 2-pounders.

Tanks equipped with mine-clearing equipment detonate all the mines, paving the way, and removing obstacles with massive bombardment.

anti-tank guns? What would you do if you were there, even if you hit an allied tank, you can’t defeat it?

It simply breaks through the fire nets of machine guns and anti-tank guns, and makes a hole in the defense line by pouring flamethrowers or tank shells into the defense line.

“If you just break through this line of defense, Suez will fall! I can cut off those bastards’ balls! Mash it!”

***

“We need more support.”

“If Suez falls, support or whatever, it’s all over, General Montgomery.”

“I know.”

The chief executive of the Suez Front, Bernard Lo Montgomery, did not blink at the words of his immediate superior from London.

“Send German and Italian troops. We clearly have an edge over them in supply capacity, and while defending…”

“So that line of defense is maintained? I don’t think so!”

The new tank of the Russian army put the British army in panic, which had been dealing with an enemy whose main focus was a ‘light tank’ by the standard of the Russian army.

It cannot be destroyed with 2 pounders, and all types of British armored vehicles are destroyed immediately after being hit.

In the beginning, even the production facilities for the 6-pounder anti-tank gun had not yet been established, so the British army had only large-caliber anti-aircraft guns and artillery guns to rely on.

Unless anyone can receive such support, there could be a situation where you have to stop the tank with a meat charge in a more extreme way.

In fact, the biggest problem in the first place was that the border was too close in Suez.

The second problem was that we had to deal with the Russian T-32 with Matilda and Crusaders.

It was a bit early in the T-34 shock experienced by the Germans at the beginning of the War of Toxin in the original history, when all kinds of weapons were almost ineffective.

As for the problem, the German army was able to get rid of the T-34 through the superior proficiency and proficiency of the Soviet army in addition to the initial momentum, but the skill gap between the current British army and the Russian army could not be that wide.

Rather, it was the Russian army that was gaining momentum. Ungern was running wild like a mad horse, popping up all over the defense.

Montgomery was moving his reserve force back and forth to block the defense line, but if he went on like this, his plan to solidify the defense, gather enough power, and push forward was as good as ruined before it even started.

“We need to get the support of the German and Italian armies, even with the full force of the Royal Navy. It means that it is an impossible request in the first place to stop the Russian army with the current force. The situation is urgent and we are sending troops organized by Egyptian officials to the front line.”

“…I will try.”
