Chapter 826 (2/2)

”Don't worry, no matter who you are, don't want to take me away from you. God is shining on me...” Li Zitao jokingly pointed to the sky, let Mary turn worry to smile.

”The French are fighting, they can't last long. The good news is that mother finally decided to leave and go to London to preside over national affairs.”

Hearing that his mother-in-law was leaving early, Li Zitao was happy for Mary, including himself.

After all, seeing his wife worried every day, his life is not very easy.

Li also has a general understanding of the French infighting. They talked about it during their second brief meeting with Churchill before leaving.

As the Deputy Secretary of state of the Ministry of defense and war and the representative responsible for coordinating the French and British military operations, de Gaulle met frequently with Churchill in recent days.

He wanted to persuade Churchill's government to continue to send more troops to France, including ground forces and air forces.

In particular, after learning the fact that the British had received a large number of new aircraft, de Gaulle's request for British support was even more urgent.

However, these were rejected by Churchill.

”We urgently need a victory to break people's fear of FXS. The French battlefield has been reduced to a quagmire,

with Britain's existing strength, it will only be dragged into the mire and dragged down. We can't take such risks any more.”

Churchill's fears were justified. The German army had opened the way to Paris and controlled the traffic around.

The defeat of the French is a foregone conclusion. Now Churchill's only hope for them is to stay longer and create more preparation time for Britain.Moreover, within the French government, the demand for peace talks is getting louder and louder, and the French are no longer in the mood to fight any more.

On June 14, the third day after Li Zitao returned to the United States, the German army officially entered Paris.

However, at this time, Italy, which had declared war on France for only four days, came a piece of news that was neither funny nor ironic.

Mussolini, who saw the German defeat France easily, also wanted to take part in the war.

Ten days later, the French government announced the war.

During this period, Germany had already won an overwhelming victory and began to support the establishment of a new government by the peace negotiation faction led by Bertrand.

With Germany's support, Italy naturally got a share of the benefit, and France was willing to give part of the border to Italy unconditionally.

However, Mussolini was not satisfied with this. When the bedang government was so busy that it could not fulfill its promise, Mussolini launched a brazen attack on France.

The 325000 Italian troops stationed on standby at the border advanced to France and launched an attack.

In Mussolini's opinion, his troops could easily defeat each other.

But in fact, the ”little magino line” garrisoned by the Alps division, the most elite French army, gave Italy a big surprise.

The 325000 troops, which lacked heavy firepower, could not break through the defense line at all. On the contrary, they were violently counterattacked by the French army, causing thousands of casualties and fleeing in confusion.

This incident has aroused great international repercussions and public opinion, making Mussolini and the Italian army a laughing stock.

There is even a joke that ”if Italy is neutral, Germany will have 10 more divisions. If Italy joins the alliance, Germany will have 20 more divisions. If Italy goes to the battlefield, Germany will send 50 divisions to protect them.”.
