For the Gauls, surrendering was undoubtedly a very difficult thing to accept. Because they knew very well that once they surrendered, they would be slaughtered by the Third Reich.

Just like after the acceptance of the last world war, at the Iron Tower Peace Conference, the Gallic Kingdom slaughtered the Second Empire.

This time, the Third Reich launched a war aggressively under the banner of revenge. You don't need to think about it to know how the Third Reich will retaliate against the Gallic Kingdom during the peace negotiations and what harsh conditions it will put forward.

If possible, Albert Lebrun would naturally be unwilling to surrender.

But the problem is that the current Gaul Kingdom simply does not have the strength to continue fighting!

With the most elite two million troops annihilated, the remaining four million troops were nothing more than a ragtag group of people who could not possibly be opponents of the Third Reich.

It can be said that once the Third Reich continues to launch attacks, the Gaul Kingdom will undoubtedly be defeated.

By then, more people will die on the battlefield

"General Gamelin, is there really no way we can withstand the Third Reich's attack? asked Albert Lebrun

"Your Excellency, with our current strength, it is very, very difficult and almost impossible to resist the attack of the Third Reich. Most of our troops have not yet completed their training, and their equipment is very crude and lacks heavy weapons and anti-tank weapons. Our armored forces have suffered heavy losses in the battle against the Third Reich. And our air force has been completely lost, and air supremacy has completely fallen into the hands of the Third Reich."Admiral Gamelin said

"hateful!"Albert Lebrun couldn't help but cursed

"Your Excellency, according to the intelligence we have now, the Third Reich is already actively planning to launch a new round of attacks. After a week of rest and replenishment, their army has regained its strong offensive power. Once the troops of the Third Reich launch an attack again, we may not be able to resist it at all, and will suffer greater losses."Admiral Gamelin continued.

Albert Lebrun's face became very ugly.

He was very aggrieved and unwilling. He seemed to have never thought about why the Gallic Congress had reached this point.!

"Your Excellency, the reason for admitting defeat now is to preserve our strength as much as possible. After we regain our strength, we will naturally be able to fight the Third Reich again. As long as we can defeat the Third Reich in the next war. Then, everything we have paid and the humiliation we have suffered can be regained."Marshal Pétain said.

Albert Lebrun nodded. When there was no other way, he surrendered. Any choice to endure hardships and avenge his previous shame seemed to have become the only way.

"So, will the Third Reich agree to our request for peace? Le Brun asked

"We can give it a try. After all, we had suffered heavy losses, but we still had four million troops. If we persist until the end, the Third Reich will pay a heavy price."Marshal Pétain said.

He didn't dare to guarantee whether the Third Reich would accept the request for negotiations.

"Okay, Your Excellency Marshal, then let you take the lead in this matter!" said Albert Lebrun.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Marshal Pétain nodded.

Now Marshal Pétain is no longer the Gallic hero in the last world war. He is just an old man in his eighties.

Although his body is still It's not bad, and my mental state is also very good.

But after all, it has reached the end of life, so that all ambitions have ceased to exist. Instead, they have to live in the world, or they are completely afraid.

It is precisely because of this The reason is that after seeing the power of the Third Reich, Marshal Pétain did not believe that the Gallic Kingdom could withstand the attack of the Third Reich and persist to the end.

Therefore, he was simply ready to admit defeat. Even though he knew very well that If you voluntarily admit defeat, you will suffer humiliation, be slaughtered by the Third Reich, and pay a heavy price.

However, Marshal Pétain no longer cares about this. He hopes to preserve the strength of the Gallic country so as to save some foundation for a future comeback. If the war If this continues, the Gallic Kingdom may not even have a chance to make a comeback.

However, Marshal Pétain still underestimated the Third Reich.

Under the leadership of Hess, how could the Third Reich return to power and give them such an opportunity? ?

Soon, Marshal Pétain would know that their plan was just a wishful thinking.

Marshal Pétain quickly contacted the Third Reich, hoping to negotiate peace with the Third Reich.

Such a request made the third The senior officials of the Three Empires were greatly surprised.

However, they were very satisfied with this.

Because this meant that the Gauls could not bear it anymore.

"Your Excellency, the Gauls are too inexperienced in fighting. They only lost two million troops, and they actually no longer have the courage to fight anymore. During the last world war, they were very rubbish. I didn’t expect that twenty years later, they would still be such rubbish. It's just that they were lucky in the last world war and got the support of the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Eagle Country, so they were able to defeat us. But this time, they will no longer have such an opportunity!"Marshal Bromberg said

"Yes, Your Excellency. Gaul has completely lost its fighting spirit. The fact that they are begging for peace now is the best explanation. There is absolutely no need for us to hold peace talks with them, continue to launch attacks, and directly destroy the Gallic Kingdom!"Admiral Brauchitsch also said.

Obviously, the military generals do not want to negotiate peace with the Third Reich. They hope to continue launching attacks to completely destroy the Gallic Kingdom and never give the Gallic Kingdom any chance.

"Your Excellency, if we do not accept the Gauls' request for peace negotiations, will they use this to inspire those Gauls to fight to the end? In this case, will it have any adverse impact on our subsequent attacks? After all, the Gauls still had four million troops. There are even as many as 12 million young adults."Minister of Foreign Affairs Ribbentrop reminded.

In this war, Gaul has mobilized one-third of its young adults to join the army. However, the remaining two-thirds are still not a small number.._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
