380 Occupiers and Occupied Territories

The German army occupied Paris. The disaster that the French had imagined countless times but almost never happened has now become a reality that people have to accept. As of this moment, France and the United Kingdom have been captured by Germany with a total of 1.5 million prisoners. Paris has undoubtedly become a city under German control.

Soon General Lundstedt summoned Roger Langeron, the commander of the gendarmerie police force in Paris, France. He made his assurance to the French judge: "Your Excellency, I hope you will cooperate with Germany **The operation of the team, and ensure the smooth operation. If I don't get into trouble because of the things you are responsible for, I won't bring you here to waste everyone's time. "

Soon the citizens of Paris, France knew that they had been deceived. The German soldiers had no intention of violating military discipline at all. These front-line combat troops passed by in a hurry, and it seemed that they didn’t even have time to go to a restaurant for breakfast or take a look at the Louvre. . Behind these soldiers, only a few hundred soldiers were left behind to maintain basic road order.

The rape of the women did not happen, and most German soldiers were polite, and they poured into French shops with piles of banknotes to buy their favorite souvenirs. They eat steaks in French restaurants, and the beef is quickly sold out, because these things are served as food in Germany and are hard to find.

What is even more satisfying is that the soldiers finally have another chance to have intimate contact with the opposite sex. Several famous courts in Paris are reserved for the enjoyment of German military officials, and as ordinary soldiers, they can only go to some relatively poor entertainment venues. But they didn't resort to such places either, because in the streets of Montparnasse women walked up and down cheekily pestering any passing German soldiers.

"They are French after all!" The decent people passing by were all ashamed, and the French locals drinking coffee nearby also felt that their self-esteem was greatly hurt. But life went on, so no one really dared to trouble the German occupying forces.

Some have converted fast enough, and brazen enough, to put up signs in their shops that read "No Non-Aryans allowed" in German. Use this resentful way to win over new guests. If Akado sees this scene, he will know that there are such disgusting guys in any country.

There were also many things that happened, which made the invaders feel a little unexpected. On the second day after the German occupation of Paris, there was a letter sent by the French with a strange address: "Paris, Germany". The messenger held the envelope, dumbfounded, but the Germans thought of the symbolic meaning inside, and soon, a commemorative stamp of "Paris, Germany" was issued and listed.

Of course, not all friendly attitudes are mercenary, at least not in Paris. Some women of good blood should have hated the invaders, but they found themselves easily moved by the neat and resolute march of the Germans.

German officers were graceful and generous. A French beauty was so frightened that her legs went limp when she saw the German invading army.

She saw two German officers in trench coats walking towards her, she was so scared that she could only cover her chest with her hands.

As a result, an officer of the German army came forward to say hello politely, and then helped the beauty to sit down at a table in an open-air coffee shop. The major of the German Wehrmacht smiled and ordered a drink for her, and chatted humorously. .

The beauty later confessed: "I was there drinking champagne with the enemy, oh god, he was polite and looked like a nobleman. So I left my address and I thought it was all right."

Such problems have caused the most serious consequences in the hearts of Parisians. A French man sighed and complained: "Soon there will be groups of German children everywhere." The taxi driver driving beside him shrugged helplessly. Shrugging his shoulders: "No way, it's just natural."

On the first day of the German occupation of Paris, German war photographers and American journalists captured an unbelievable scene: the occupier and a woman in the occupied area strolled leisurely on the street hand in hand, like this Things seem to be going the same way from the start.

The short stay of ordinary German soldiers in Paris did not stop these people from curious thoughts. Many people wanted to experience the enlightenment and influence of art and culture, so they took a short break to appreciate what the head of state Akado said "The Miracle of Western Civilization". With frenzy, these soldiers visited the nearby Avenue Montmartre and other ancient streets, while the residents of these places sat in roadside coffee shops, trying to hide their contempt for these immature tourists.

Of course, resistance also flooded every corner of the city. When the troops of the SS stormed into the museums of all sizes in Paris, all the collections including the Louvre were discovered. reduction. During the first few nights before the occupation of Paris, the French government shipped more than 3,000 valuable paintings and sculptures to secret storage places across France. Even the legendary Venus of Milo disappeared, and the empty SS troops returned without success. In order to meet the needs of visitors, the Germans had to find a replica to cope with the scene.

"If they spend half of their efforts to collect art, we will lose at least 10,000 people in Paris." Standing in the hall of the Louvre in Paris, Guderian stood in front of Venus with a sigh of dust Said: "But I'm not interested in Venus, I prefer Frederick, Frederick's bazooka."

In the next few days, the dazzling performances will continue, and the songs and dances of the Moulin Rouge are still unforgettable. Those energetic choirs are welcomed by all, and the laughter on the stage will replace the sorrow of losing the motherland. These all once again affirmed one critic's evaluation of the city of Paris-"a city of incomparable frivolity and depravity".

It's a pity that the German soldiers didn't seem to be very interested in those performances that took off their clothes and twisted their bodies to please the audience. A French poet described the German soldiers who came to watch the performance: "Under the lights like a fairyland, watching 60 The women were naked, and the soldiers looked sombre, as if they wanted to go home far away."

It seemed impossible to go home, because according to the order of the German Supreme Command, Army Group B went south and cut between Army Group A and Army Group C, filling the central blank area formed after Army Group A swung its sickle. A huge infantry-based group army began to move southward, circled to the back of the French Maginot line of defense, and directly threatened the rear of the last formed main force in France.

On the one hand, Army Group A stormed along the coastline, eating up the British expeditionary force who wanted to escape and the French troops along the coast, while the main force of Army Group A launched a frontal offensive at the same time, occupying Paris, giving France a final fatal blow.

Because of Gan Molin's suicide, the French army is now under the command of General Weygand. He divides the troops into small squares similar to an international chessboard, and stipulates that the troops in each grid must resist tenaciously.

In order to prevent the Germans from penetrating into the defense line as quickly as in early January and destroying the entire defense system, he is preparing to establish a solid and strong defense system. But he has no armored units in his hands, nor mechanized units to strengthen the fortress and plug the gaps in the defense line.

Charles de Gaulle, who wasted the French armored forces, is retreating to Troyes with his remnants at this moment, and the French 10th Armored Army in his hands now only has 30 pitiful tanks left. Rather than saying that his army is a tank army, it is better to say that his army is an image of a tank regiment.

In the end, Wei Gang could only use his tough attitude to admonish his soldiers, hoping that these men can survive the most difficult moment in France: "The battle that depends on the fate of the country is about to start from where we are defending. As for the retreat, please Don't even think about it! All commanders, from the first rank of the army to the first rank of the platoon, must make up their minds and fight to the last moment!"

This aggression seemed to be useless against the Germans. Their positions were lost again and again, and the French defense line retreated again and again. But it seems that they played their own style on another front. 15 divisions of French soldiers defeated Italians twice as many as them, and happily got rid of the curse of bad luck of the recent losing streak. Lost to Italian neighbors.

While the Germans were singing triumphant songs, the Italians were suffering the bitter fruit of failure. After losing 15,000 soldiers, Mussolini's troops were still standing still, and the Italian-French border hadn't changed an inch-this is still France. In order to avoid excessive stimulation of Italy and cause a larger-scale two-line battle, the team did not take the initiative to attack Italy.

Even Mussolini really feels shameless now. The first time he ran to Berlin and told Accardo that Italy was not ready for war and would not immediately declare war on Britain and France; the second time he ran to Berlin and told Accardo that Italy had declared war on France and would Grab part of Germany's victory; this time he is going to Berlin again, and the news he told Akado is to ask Germany to consider Italy's interests and feelings on the issue of France's surrender.

"What face does Italy have, and what face do you give me to let the invincible Germans consider our shit feelings?" On the plane, Mussolini yelled at his subordinates, but then he fell silent , because as these subordinates said: Italy must gain certain benefits in France. ()
