Dunkirk is a new generation of capital ship designed by the French Navy within the tonnage specified in the Washington Naval Treaty in 1926. This kind of warship has a full displacement of more than 35000 tons, but it has only a 330 mm main gun, adding almost a lot of weight to its defense.
At the same time, its maximum speed is almost 30 knots.
This high-speed and heavy defense design is aimed at the hypothetical enemy of Germany's "German class armored ship" and the cruiser being developed and built by the navies of the great powers at that time. It can be said that this kind of warship is in line with the operational characteristics of battlecruisers, but the French navy is still called battleships.
The warship, which was completed in 37 years, is the absolute main warship of France. At this time, it is anchored at the port of milskbeer and is the flagship of the French garrison in North Africa.
It was supposed to be late at night, when people were sleeping soundly, but on this flagship, general Marcel Bruno Jean Sur, commander of the French Navy's sub fleet, was sleepless.
He listened to the report from his men that British captain Holland wanted to board the ship and have a meeting with general Jean sur.
Of course, let sur know what his old friend meant when he came, but he was unable to respond. He still had another order in his hand.
General Darlan ordered that all commanders of the French naval fleet at all levels should not have any contact with the British.
After thinking for a while, he said, "let Colonel Holland go back. I don't have time to see him."
At this time, Colonel Holland's destroyer almost docked next to his battleship.
"General Jean Sur, don't want to see me?" On the destroyer here, Colonel Holland had planned to get off the ship and board the other party's ship, but he heard such an answer.
I don't want to see myself! Colonel Holland didn't expect this. Originally, he had a lot of exhortations, hoping to let general sur lead the fleet and take refuge in the British navy. Unfortunately, now he can't see general sur at all, so he can't say anything more.
What should I do?
After thinking about it, Colonel Holland took out a document from his briefcase: "please transfer this document to general Jean sur and tell him that our meeting is very important and related to the fate of the French navy."
This is a carefully worded letter from the London Admiralty, issued by his Majesty the king himself.
"A few days ago, Prime Minister Renault promised to move all warships to British ports. Now, at the cabinet meeting, a decision has been made: the French fleet should join the British navy, or it will sink by itself."
When he saw here, general sur felt a spark in front of him. Why should the fate of the French Navy be decided by the British cabinet meeting? British, what do you think of yourself? As their own?
These hateful Englishmen!
In later generations, after some analysis of the incident at the port of milskbeer, some military observers believe that the British are too anxious and have too much appetite.
If the British Navy did not annex the French navy, but cooperated with the French navy, the French might accept it.
However, the British subconsciously have always regarded the French Navy as their meat, which is the reason for the final outbreak of the tragedy. After all, the French are also arrogant.
Rubbed his eyes and let general sur continue to look.
"Although the current French government can believe that the armistice conditions and these commitments between them and Germany and Italy are harmonious and consistent, his Majesty's government, based on our past experience, believes that Germany and Italy will seize the French fleet when they think it appropriate and use it to fight Britain and its allies."
"So far, we have been your comrades in arms. We can't sit back and watch your good ships fall into the hands of the enemy Germany or Italy. We are determined to fight to the end. If we win - we think we can win - we will never forget that France was our ally, our interests are France's interests, and our common enemy is Germany. If we win, we solemnly declare that we must restore the glory and territory of France. "
See here, let general sur's hands have been tightly held together. The British are still talking these nonsense!
Although the ordinary people at the lower level don't know it, general Jean sur knows that the British even let the French army as bait in order to withdraw their expeditionary army! Let the French army go to Dunkirk, while the British are preparing to break through at the port of Calais!
Friends are used to betray. At a critical time, they just step on their friends' bodies and climb out of the trap. This is the consistent practice of the British people!
Will they help restore France's glory and territory? If there is such a day, France may also become a vassal of Britain!
He resisted the urge to tear up the letter and read on.
"For this purpose, we must ensure that the most elite ships of the French navy will not be used by the enemy to attack us. Therefore, the French fleet in milskbeer must act according to one of the following methods: "
1. Sail with us and continue to fight for victory over Germany and Italy.
2. Reduce the crew and sail to British ports under our supervision. The reduced crew should be repatriated as soon as possible.
3. Then reduce the crew and stay with us in a French port in the West Indies, such as Martinique, where the ship is disarmed completely according to our requirements, or handed over to the United States for safekeeping. Until the end of the war, the crew can be repatriated first.
Almost every method here is formulated with a high attitude. Your French fleet must do so!
Moreover, seeing below made general sur even more angry.
"If you refuse these fair and reasonable suggestions, I would like to ask you to scuttle your ship within six hours with my deepest apology. Finally, if you fail to comply with the above measures, I have to use all necessary forces to prevent your ships from falling into the hands of Germany or Italy according to the order of his Majesty's government. "
"Fair and reasonable, these Brits, still think such conditions are fair and reasonable?" Let general sur say to himself, "now, even if I don't see my old friend, I know what his attitude will be."
Is it necessary to meet again?
"General, how should we reply to the British?" Let general sur aside, asked the captain of the Dunkirk.
How do you reply? Let general sur's eyes look at the sea in the distance and say, "send a telegram back to France and ask marshal bedang and general Darlan for instructions."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
