When he received the news from North Africa, beidang was angry. Although it was still some hours before dawn, he had been awakened.
These two days have left him in a mess. First, the French warships in the British port were detained, and then the French West Indies. The local French fleet was disarmed, which made the French Navy lose more than a dozen warships. At the same time, bedang's dissatisfaction with the British behavior reached the extreme.
Now, unexpectedly, the British have more than these appetites and are threatening their own Mediterranean fleet! It was intolerable to him.
"Tell the British that they are dreaming!" Beidang shouted loudly, wearing his pajamas, and walked into the conference room.
At this time, in the conference room, the others had already sat down.
Darlan also came. Just after receiving the news that the British detained the French warship, as the mainstay of the Navy, Darlan received the order of Marshal bedang and hurried to the capital from Toulon port.
At this time, the capital is still in Clementine Ferrand. Because the urban area is too small and there are few houses, Darlan lives in a small hotel outside. He can't sleep at all these days. As a result, he went to the conference room immediately after the news came.
Hearing bedang's words, Darlan said, "yes, we must not let the British plot succeed!"
The French navy is proud. If it is robbed by the British navy, it will definitely be a disgrace to the French Navy! Why should the French Navy listen to the British Parliament?
"However, the British threat is at hand. If our fleet does not respond, I think the British will fire." Said Admiral Esteva.
The British have now made it clear that the French navy will either surrender to the British Navy or die.
In fact, this sentence is enough to irritate the French navy, but now, it is clear that the French navy is at a disadvantage because they are not ready for war.
All warships are moored, and the boilers are flameout. If they want to fight, they must ignite. Moreover, for the steam engine, the boiler has just ignited, and it is impossible to drive the steam turbine. If they want the warship to start, they still need to wait.
During this period of time, it is enough to give the British a chance. The British are ready.
Even, as long as there is smoke in the chimney of one's own warship, the British will find their intention, and even open fire against one's own warship immediately.
As a admiral, Esteva knew how urgent the situation facing the front line was at this time, and they would be attacked at any time.
Moreover, it is obvious that the British have brought their remaining main force. Relying only on the fleet anchored in Algeria, they can't compete with the British at all. In case of conflict, their own side will definitely suffer.
"So we have to procrastinate." Admiral Darlan said: "I think we can simply send a telegram to Jean sur and let him talk to the other party first to delay time. At the same time, all warships ignite and prepare for battle. Moreover, the warships in toulun port on our side should also rush there. Once a war breaks out, our warships will not suffer."
Darlan's method is practical. When bedang was about to nod his head, he saw his confidant Pierre Laval speak: "ladies and gentlemen, why don't we directly inform the Armistice Commission of this matter?"
Before and after the French surrender, the Armistice Commission has always played a leading role, or this is an institution specially established by Germany to control France more conveniently.
Now that France has surrendered, wouldn't it be better to let the Germans come forward?
Hearing Pierre's words, Darlan immediately shook his head: "no, this is about our French navy, not about the Germans."
As a commander in chief of the Navy, Darlan still has a high sense of honor. The British people come up with a banner and drum to provoke. Their own side can't beat Germany. Should even Britain be afraid?
Moreover, if the British were scared away with the help of the Germans, the French navy would lose face even more!
At this time, Darlan is quite firm. He can do it without the Germans!
Moreover, he also knows that the main goal of the German Navy is the Atlantic, while the Mediterranean still needs to be controlled by the French navy. In this way, the French Navy also needs to continue to exist. If this problem can not be solved, does the French Navy still need to exist?
Maybe the Germans will take all their warships away! The French navy has no power. He absolutely doesn't want to see such a scene.
This is about the French navy, not the Germans! Even the deterrence of a small partner in the past can't be dealt with, and the French navy is too humiliating!
Darlan, firmly opposed.
However, Pierre insisted: "Germany has many means to counterattack surface ships. At this time, it is enough to rely on Germany's strength. Why consume our strength? This was also led by the Germans and should be handed over to the Germans. "
Pierre certainly has another meaning. Now he definitely hugs the German thigh. It's not interesting not to inform the German side of such an important matter.
In this way, there was a lot of noise in the conference room, and the time passed little by little.
At milskbeer port, general sur walked around on his bridge and waited anxiously. At this time, the East had gradually brightened.
Was it that marshal bedan was sleeping when the telegram was sent, and had to wait until he woke up?
No, absolutely not. I can't wait!
He had sent a telegram for the third time. Now, looking at the British destroyer still next to his side, he finally issued his own order: "please Colonel Holland, all warships, ignite immediately!"
His idea is almost the same as that of Darlan. Now, he can only hold each other first!
Simply ask your old friend Colonel Holland to come over and sit together and discuss. At the same time, your warships should ignite quickly and reserve enough steam pressure before they can go out.
It was a sleepless night. Many people didn't sleep. Churchill, far away in London, had been sitting in the wartime cabinet office at No. 10 Downing Street, keeping frequent contact with his staff, the Secretary of the Navy and the first Secretary of the sea, looking forward to the good news.
The French don't have to think about it. If the warships of the French North African fleet in milskbeer port are brought over, the British navy can finally last for a while.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
