Chapter 634 France Surrenders

In fact, Germany in history had the title of Imperial Marshal, but it was just a special case. It was the honorary title that Hitler specially gave to Goering. Yes, it was more of an honor, indicating that Goering was higher than others. .

However, now that Cyric has created it, it is not tailor-made for someone. This is a higher honor, and obtaining it will require very high credit, prestige, and qualifications, all of which are indispensable.

Just like the carrot in front of the donkey, this glory, right in front of the generals, motivated them to continue fighting for the empire, and it was with this idea that Cyric did not make a marshal right now.

After all, there are still many battles to be fought in the future. The French campaign is over, there is still the British campaign, and there is a big hairy bear waiting to learn a lesson. It is necessary to use these honors to continue to inspire the generals to continue to pursue.

Don't look at Marshal Lundstedt now, he has come to an end. This imperial marshal will belong to Guderian and Rommel in the future. They are the real pillars of Germany.

In addition to high-level generals, there are also junior officers and even ordinary soldiers who will be rewarded for their bravery in combat! For the planned Iron Cross, Cyric planned to award more than 20,000 medals.

Many soldiers and soldiers deserve their honors, and the Iron Cross is the most important one. It represents the glory of the German soldiers. Almost every one of them is exchanged for life.

While Cyric was still discussing the details of the award, an adjutant hurried in and said, "Führer, good news, the French are officially surrendering to us!"

Suddenly, everyone stood up, of course they knew what it meant, the proud French finally surrendered to Germany, this is a great moment to remember!

"Keitel, on behalf of our Germany, go to this surrender ceremony." Cyric said: "The place of surrender is in a train carriage in Compiègne Forest."

When Cyric said this, the attitude of everyone was solemn. This place, for all Germans, was very impressive, because it was the surrender of Germany to the Allies at the end of the First World War. , the same place where the armistice was signed!

France, finally surrendering!

When Renault took his men and moved the capital again, he no longer had any hope. Looking around, France had no chance of making a comeback.

In this case, Renault finally got discouraged. Could it be that in the future of France, there is only one way to surrender?

With no future in sight, Renault compromised. Although he already knew the future, unfortunately, he still did not have the courage to face it. He chose to back down. Renault resigned as prime minister and left France sadly. The soul almost followed the disappearing country.

After Renault resigned as prime minister, President Albert Le Brun appointed Petain to form the cabinet.

After Pétain took over power in France, he immediately made the choice to surrender.

France can't fight anymore. At this time, if the war is ended in a decent manner, France still has half of the country left!

After releasing the signal of surrender to Germany, the German side responded very quickly, so Pétain sent plenipotentiary Charles Huntsger to sign an armistice with General Keitel of Germany.

Back then, at the end of World War I, France put forward a harsh armistice agreement with Germany, requiring the German government to have only 100,000 troops and disarm the navy and air force. This agreement at that time was almost the trigger for World War II.

And now, feng shui turns, it is France's turn to surrender, and Germany, of course, will not give France comfortable conditions.

"First of all, the first condition is that the French army will be completely disarmed and the weapons will be handed over to Germany for safekeeping." Facing the French on the opposite side, Keitel felt that this task was really good.

He likes to see each other's expressions very much. The expression of being strong but having to take off his clothes and pose himself gives Deutsche a good sense of conquest.

Back then, Germany was defeated and retained 100,000 troops, but now that France is defeated, all French troops cannot be retained!

Charlie on the opposite side frowned and said nothing.

"Secondly, France will be divided into two parts: the northern part, which occupies about three-fifths of the French territory, and the coast of the Bay of Biscay, which is our current control area, will be directly occupied by our German forces, and France will have to bear the full cost of the occupying forces. . South and West, ruled by the government of Marshal Pétain."

Now, Germany has conquered most of France. Of course, these territories are directly ruled by Germany. That is the land plowed out by German soldiers with their own swords, how can they be returned to France!

As for those areas that have not been occupied, they should be handed over to Petan, and at least half of the country is still preserved. It is better than losing all of them!

"General Keitel, these conditions on your side are too harsh." Finally, Charlie couldn't help but say: "The treaty we signed after the First World War was not so harsh."

After all, after the First World War, France left Germany with 100,000 troops, and almost all of Germany's territory was preserved, but only a small piece was lost.

Keitel's face changed when he heard this: "If you don't surrender in good faith, then forget it. At this time, our soldiers are gearing up and preparing to continue fighting. In three days, we will be able to fight with the Italian army. After joining forces, France will not have to surrender at that time.”

Keitel's words are a threat from Chiguoguo, but they are meaningful enough.

From the perspective of France, these conditions proposed by Germany are of course excessive, but from the perspective of Germany, accepting the surrender of France this time is already giving them face.

If France does not surrender, it will take a few days for France to perish. In fact, when Paris is occupied, it means that France has perished. Now Germany is doing this out of good intentions.

"For these conditions of yours, we need to ask the Prime Minister for instructions." Charlie finally said.

Although he was a plenipotentiary representative and came to sign the agreement, he did not dare to agree to such harsh conditions, so he should leave it to Marshal Pétain to decide.

When Marshal Pétain received these agreements, he didn't say much, he just stared at the sky in the distance.

"This is a test that God gave us, we France, if we want to exist, we can only endure everything now." Petain said.

Petain agreed, he had no choice, at least, France was not occupied, France still owns half of the country, right? He endured the humiliation and agreed to these conditions, still for the future of France.

He believed in his choice.

On June 3, 1939, on this train skin, General Keitel signed his name on the letter of surrender with his own pen, on behalf of Germany.

The two sides exchanged agreements, and this great historical moment was frozen in front of the camera.

France, a country with a population of 50 million and known as the "number one army country", has been defeated in less than 20 days and has become a defeated country!

This surrender agreement spread all over the world, and instantly, the French people fell into mourning.
