The British army was advancing towards Paris, and in addition to the armored forces, there were also cavalry, infantry and fighter jets.

All of this is of course for the next day's military parade.

There was no sign of any sign of this military parade. All the troops participating in the military parade gathered in a hurry, and for France, their situation was better.

It is enough to find some troops directly from near Paris to act as exercise troops.

Of course, there must be a tank unit. Under this idea, the 507th tank regiment commanded by Colonel Charles de Gaulle was mobilized.

Compared with the small British tanks, Colonel Charles de Gaulle's tank troops are not very outstanding.

Like the British, France also divided tanks into cavalry tanks and infantry tanks.

According to the current state, France is more inclined to fight a defensive battle and believes that such a war model can achieve final victory, but it also considers that it is necessary to fight offensive battles under certain strategic situations.

In this case, France needs special vehicles with breakthrough and penetration functions, which is the responsibility of the S-35 tanks manufactured by Soma.

This S-35 tank has good maneuverability and high range. According to historical design indicators, it can penetrate the artillery of the imaginary enemy Soviet BT-7 tanks and German No. 3 tanks and armor that resist their attacks, can penetrate deep into the enemy's array for strategic infiltration operations, and destroy their armored reserves.

But now, this tank, which is considered the best in the 1930s in history, is far behind.

Judging from the team members, this tank has three people. Although it is one more person than the previous small tank, it is still much smaller than the German five-a-side tank.

At the same time, the weight of the entire tank is 19.5 tons, and uses a 141.7 kilowatt v8 gasoline engine with a maximum speed of 41km/h and a maximum stroke of 257km.

It can be found that if we follow the historical progress, this 20-ton tank has good performance.

The armor was thick, with a 47mm front and still tilted angle, which was enough to resist the artillery of the German tank No. 3 at that time. At the same time, a 47mm sa-47 cannon was used to tear open the tank armor of the German tank at that time.

In fact, during World War II in history, Germany's armored power was not technologically advanced, but the advanced one was tactics.

This is how the Germans did the use of tanks in a concentrated manner, but the French were very sad.

During World War I, French tanks were quite outstanding in the war, especially the light FT-17 tanks, which were simply the template for later tanks.

After World War I, the French worked hard. General Jean-Estien, the father of French armored soldiers, was fully responsible for the research and development of assault artillery. Under his leadership, France built comprehensive armored vehicles, including light tanks, howitzers-equipped support tanks, assault tanks with powerful firepower, and armored supply vehicle command vehicles, etc.

Unfortunately, his actions instead led to opposition from conservative forces within the army. The assault artillery headquarters was disbanded in 1920, and the French armored troops had to be unifiedly commanded by the infantry.

As a result, the French army had almost no development in the next ten years, and at the same time, they had no money, and most of the national defense budget was used to build the Maginot Line.

De Gaulle was a thin tall officer. He participated in the First World War and was captured. He escaped from prison five times later, which shows his firm will and loyalty to his motherland.

He did care about the country, so he deeply felt the deterioration of the current situation.

The German invasion of Poland has completely brought substantial losses to Britain and France, but now, Britain and France have not even declared war, but only used this military parade to show their determination to the Germans!

This is simply ridiculous. Victory can only be achieved on the battlefield. Can the Germans stop attacking on the parade?

The Germans have no bottom line. What will happen to the Germans after they annex Poland?

Thinking of this, Charles de Gaulle was very unhappy. He looked at his army running on the road, and ahead was already a brightly lit metropolis, Paris!

"Stay on the spot and prepare for tomorrow's military parade." De Gaulle issued an order to his subordinates.

You can't enter the city now, and there is not so much space at all. Take advantage of this opportunity to take a break.

De Gaulle sat on an S-35 tank, leaning against the turret, and the engine was underneath. He looked at the stars in the sky and could not fall asleep.

In the second half of the night, a new roar came from a distance.

The British armored soldiers, who were exhausted, caught up.

"Col. Charles de Gaulle, I'm glad to see you." Hebart jumped from his tank and shouted at Charles de Gaulle.

The two met a long time ago. As early as 1931, Charles de Gaulle served in the General Secretariat of the Ministry of Defense in Paris. With the permission and support of Betton, Charles de Gaulle published many articles and held many lectures at the Military Academy.

Many of Charles de Gaulle's ideas are more recognized by Hebat, such as using tanks to form special armored divisions.

And now, the two met again, and Hebat was asking for help: "Col. Charles de Gaulle, ask for our tank supply immediately. As we come over, we will soon be out of oil. Without oil, we will not be able to complete tomorrow's parade."

Hebat's supply convoy has not been transported yet, and it needs subsequent ships, but now he has no oil.

If you have been in the army, you will know how serious the bureaucratic style is. Generally speaking, the logistics supply is the old man. If you don’t have a good relationship with others, then the supply will have problems.

Different troops are running each other, not to mention that they have now crossed the country.

However, if the personal relationship is friendly, that's another matter.

"No problem." De Gaulle spoke quickly: "Use my supplies first."

De Gaulle's generosity made Hebart quite happy: "When my supplies arrive, I will return them to you immediately."

Sitting on the tank with Charles de Gaulle, Hebart sighed: "Your tank is really good, much bigger than our tank."

The "Matilda" Type 1 tank weighs only 11 tons, but its armor is 60 mm thick. It shows how small this tank is. Compared with the 20-ton tank in France, it is a circle smaller.

"Our tanks are already behind," said Charles de Gaulle. "The German tanks are much more advanced than ours. Our armored soldiers must have advanced tanks, otherwise we will be at an absolute disadvantage in combat."
