Renault agreed to Churchill's plan and made Churchill very satisfied. Now, we must carry out this plan immediately and withdraw as much as we can!

If it's too late, once the German siege is surrounded and the port is taken down by the Germans, they can't retreat!

"Also, now, the French navy must make early plans. Italy has declared war on France. In order to prevent the Italian Navy from sneaking attacks on the French navy, I suggest that the French navy can be withdrawn to Britain." Churchill continued.

Churchill's other plan is to incorporate the French navy. Now, he suggested that the French Navy retreat to Britain, which is naturally the first step to incorporate them.

"Well, when necessary, I can order the navy to retreat to Britain." Renault agreed to Churchill's suggestion.

Hearing Renault's words, Churchill was very happy. He stood up and said to Premier Renault, "now Germany is in the ascendant. As long as we have firm faith and persevere, we will win the final victory."

At this time, his eyebrows continued to wrinkle. The severe heart piercing pain made his forehead burst out with bean sized beads of sweat. He couldn't hold on at all. As soon as his eyes were dark, he was about to fall to the ground.

"Prime Minister Churchill?" There was a scream around.

"Come on, call an ambulance!"

Churchill was quickly taken away and went to the best hospital in Paris. Renault looked at the people present and suddenly felt a kind of sadness. It seemed that Churchill's fall heralded something.

"Now, I announce a new decision." Renault said: "our cabinet will be reorganized, and I will also serve as secretary of defense."

Up to now, the war must be reorganized. Otherwise, how can we explain to the people?

"At the same time, recall Marshal betten to be the vice premier of our cabinet." Renault continues to announce the appointment.

This year, marshal betten is 83 years old. He is the ambassador of Spain. At the same time, he is also a veteran of World War I. He has enough prestige to lead the French people out of their current difficulties.

Wei Gang was happy. He knew that his appointment was coming.

"At the same time, he removed the post of commander-in-chief of the French army in kammerlin and appointed Wei Gang as commander-in-chief of the land, sea and air forces."

Sure enough, Wei Gang was very happy when he mentioned Wei Gang. He said to Renault, "premier, I have made a plan to save our current dangerous situation!"

When Churchill was there, Wei Gang couldn't refute it because he didn't have that power, but now that he has served as commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he will take office immediately. He already has a plan in his mind.

Reynolds was stunned. "What's the plan? I have just promised Churchill to withdraw the troops from the north and preserve our strength. "

Renault has thought about withdrawing troops and preserving strength, which is indeed the right plan.

"Yes, I agree with the plan." Wei Gang said: "however, if we retreat unscheduled, it can only evolve into a rout. The German armored forces can easily catch up with our troops, so that we can't retreat smoothly. Therefore, I think we should fight a beautiful counter attack or two before retreating, so that the Germans dare not advance rashly, and we will have more opportunities to retreat."

Counter attack! Now Wei Gang has made up his mind. With so many British and French allied forces, do you still fear the Germans who came on an expedition?

Only a beautiful counterattack can boost morale!

Now, I'm just stunned by the German Blitz. As long as we organize a resolute and brave counterattack and let the troops see that the German armor is far from so powerful, we can greatly boost morale and finally win the victory!

Now, in the face of prime minister Renault, he can't say his real plan. As long as he wins the counter attack and the subsequent counter attack, of course, he can continue to push forward!

Renault agreed to Wei Gang's plan, so on the same day, the day Wei Gang took office, a new strategy had begun.

Orders were passed on.

Wei Gang was also very smart. He handed over the main task of the counter offensive to the British first armored division.

At the beginning, in order to frighten Germany, the first armored division came to France in February and participated in the parade. After the parade, the first armored division stayed in France.

At the same time, other auxiliary troops of the first armored division were also transported from Britain. After that, it was deployed to the Maginot line.

They did not catch up with any war. When they arrived from the South and north of France, the German encirclement was about to be formed. At this time, there were two roads in front of them, attack or retreat?

With the order from the French commander-in-chief Wei Gang, division commander Roger Evans could not help frowning.

Wei Gang asked them to attack!

Through the bridgehead of abuville, cut off the retreat of four German armored divisions and join the main force of the British Expeditionary infantry division in the north. Then, eat the four armored divisions in Germany!

As an armored division, of course, they can't complete this task. Therefore, behind them, there is the 10th group army of France as the backing. In terms of military strength, there are many.

As long as they tear the hole, the 10th group army can follow up and expand the results. Wei Gang has a big appetite and wants to eat four German armored divisions at once!

If this plan is completed, it can be said that it can completely reverse the war situation, but can it be completed now?

General Evans frowned. Now his troops have arrived. Before the war broke out, his armored division was finally full, and the planned 3rd armored brigade was given to him. But what's the use?

His troops are mainly "Matilda" type 1 tanks. The third armored brigade is the latest and equipped with more advanced equipment. What's the use?

The Allied cruiser tank, weighing only 18 tons, was developed by the rear in a hurry to deal with German armored forces. Where in a hurry? So that it has entered mass production without being tested at all!

In terms of appearance, its rhombic turret is very characteristic. It fully absorbs the characteristics of German inclined armor and greatly increases the protection force under the same weight. The same is true for the car body. The inclined armor of 16mm thick reaches the protection capacity of 30mm thick.

Its developers claimed that the tank could fight the latest German tanks, but Evans did not have that confidence.

Even if there are dozens of tanks, can they change the war situation? They are also at an absolute disadvantage in quantity. What is more terrible is that the morale of the army is very chaotic now.
