"Mr. ambassador, do you want our warships?" Asked betten.

The British ambassador nodded and fooled the other party into going to the British port?

"Well, a ship of 50 million pounds. As long as you pay cash, we can sell it." Said betten.

Anyway, according to the agreement, France could not have an army, but it did not say how the navy was at that time. Specific discussions need follow-up negotiations.

In this case, it can also be considered to sell. After all, the newly appointed bedang government is quite short of funds.

Hearing this, the British ambassador's face suddenly changed. Now Britain has no money! Just because of the destruction of the British Expeditionary Force in Europe, the pension that the government needs to pay is an astronomical figure!

The British defense war also needs a lot of investment. Now, every pound is extremely important. How can it be used to buy French broken ships!

Moreover, the French are asking exorbitant prices. You know, a battleship George V is only more than 30 million pounds. The price of the French is absolutely unbearable for Britain.

"I'm sorry, marshal bedang. In the original negotiation with Prime Minister Renault, your warship needs to start to our port immediately. There is no additional agreement." Said the British ambassador.

"Renault, the traitor!" Betten's words immediately changed: "does he want to sell France to Britain? Fortunately, his plot did not succeed! "

The famous traitor is now calling Renault a traitor. The British ambassador is very angry, but now he has nothing to move each other.

Obviously, this kind of communication will not play any role.

Looking at the departure of the British ambassador, bedang said to his men, "order those warships in British ports to return to our station immediately."

France has surrendered. At this time, give all its warships to Britain? There is no doubt that this will make the Germans quite angry. What good will it do to bedang?

Betten wouldn't do that.

In fact, in the original agreement signed with Germany, France cannot retain the army, which specifically refers to the army and air force. In terms of the Navy, Germany did not immediately issue a handover instruction. Even, it is reported that Chirac is considering allowing the French navy to continue to exist and maintain the balance of power in the Mediterranean.

When the news reached London, Churchill snuffed out his cigar and said calmly, "in that case, let's act according to another plan! I command that operation crossbow is fully launched. "

Port Toulon, French naval base.

Admiral Darlan stood on the dock of the base and looked at the warships on the dock. He couldn't calm down all the time.

The French navy, the fourth largest Navy in the world, is mainly concentrated in several ports such as Toulon, Algiers, port Oran and Casablanca.

At this time, they still have combat effectiveness, but their status is quite embarrassing.

They have no enemies and no allies before they show their strength. The question of where to go puzzles the French navy and Admiral Darlan.

At the beginning, general Darlan was responsible for the transportation of gold. Although a large number of gold were lost, hundreds of tons of gold were successfully transported out to the French African colonies.

General Darlan almost lost his life in the last operation. Finally, in the dark, he finally escaped and returned to Toulon port.

At this time, the French navy was still under his control, but France was no longer that France.

As the soul of the French navy, Admiral Darlan has been considering the fate of the French navy.

Every morning, he looked at the flag of the French navy flying on the mast of the warship and was silent.

Soldiers do not interfere in politics, and Darlan only hopes that the French navy can still exist. What choice can he have now?

"General, no!" Just then, a voice came in a hurry: "all our warships stranded in Britain have been detained by the British!"

The sound came into Darlan's ears and into his brain. In a moment, Darlan was angry.

British, too much! Those warships are French!

The crossbow operation is mainly carried out in three areas. The first and best is, of course, the French warships staying in the British military port!

Portsmouth, UK.

Just after dawn, a faint mist shrouded the whole port.

On a French fearless warship, the sailors had just got up from the sea. On the deck, several sailors were brushing their teeth facing the sea.

They have received an order. In a few days, they will pull anchor and set sail to return to France. Many people are indifferent to this order.

France has surrendered to Germany, but after all, it is their hometown. They can't hide their hesitation on their face. Where will they go in the future?

"What's that?" While brushing his teeth, a sailor raised his head and looked at the wharf in front. A motorcade was rushing up the wharf. The other party was very fast. It seemed that he would stop when he was about to fall into the sea.

Are these Englishmen crazy? While laughing in my heart, I was ready to continue brushing my teeth, but I heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

These British soldiers, armed with rifles, rushed quickly towards their battleship!

At this time, the French warships were unprepared, and the British soldiers rushed up.

"Hands up, don't move!" The British soldier shouted as he came up.

The sailor is stupid. What's the situation? He had a bubble in his mouth, and he still had a toothbrush in his hand. He had been pointed at his body with a gun. Then he could only lift his hand helplessly.

A large number of British soldiers rushed onto the French warships and quickly controlled the sailors. Without any resistance, the French warships were controlled by the British.

The captain was also under control. When he wanted to understand what had happened, he couldn't help being angry.

"This is an insult to our French Navy!" The captain shouted, "Brits, you've gone too far!"

Historically, there has been a contradiction between the British navy and the French navy. In recent years, the two navies have restored normal relations. However, Britain suddenly attacked the French navy and finally aroused this contradiction again.

For the French navy, the British are more hateful than the Germans!

The Germans didn't want to take over them, so the British couldn't wait to do it first. Who has considered the feeling of the French Navy!

At this time, of course, no one cared about the feelings of the French navy. Churchill received information with satisfaction. The French navy in Britain and the French warships in Portsmouth and Plymouth were disarmed and taken over by the British Navy!

In an instant, the British Navy stopped Luo running and finally had a decent warship!
