The Dunkirk is a new generation of main ship designed by the French Navy within the tonnage stipulated by the Washington Navy Treaty in 1926. This kind of warship has a full load displacement of more than 35,000 tons, but it has only 330 mm main gun, which almost adds a large amount of weight to defense.

At the same time, its maximum speed almost reaches 30 knots.

The imaginary enemy that this high-speed and defensive design targets is Germany's "German-class armored ship" and the cruiser that the powerful navy was developing and constructing at that time. It can be said that this kind of warship is in line with the combat characteristics of battle cruisers, but the French Navy is still called a battleship.

This warship was only completed in 37 years. It is definitely the main warship of France. At this time, it was anchored at the port of Milskbeer and is the flagship of the French troops stationed in North Africa.

It was already late at night, and it was time for people to sleep well, but on this flagship, General Marcel Bruno Jeansour, the commander of the French Navy's squadron, was sleepless.

He listened to the report from his subordinates that British Navy Colonel Holland wanted to board the warship and have a meeting with General Jeansour.

Of course, Suer knew what his old friend came, but he was unable to respond for a long time, and he was holding another order in his hand.

General Dallang ordered that all commanders of the French naval fleet at all levels shall not have any connection with the British.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Let Colonel Holland go back, I don't have time to see him."

At this time, the destroyer that Colonel Horan was riding almost docked next to his battleship.

"General Jean Sur, don't want to see me?" On the destroyer here, Colonel Horan was planning to get off the ship and pedaled on the other party's ship, but heard such an answer.

Unwilling to see himself! Colonel Holland did not expect that in this situation, he had a lot of advice, hoping that General Sur could lead the fleet and surrender to the British navy. Unfortunately, now, he could not see General Sur at all, so he could not say anything else.

what to do?

After thinking about it, Colonel Holland took out a document from his briefcase: "Please transfer this document to General Jeansour and tell him that our meeting is very important and is related to the fate of the French Navy."

This is a rigorously worded letter issued by the Admiralty of London, and was personally issued by His Majesty the King of England.

"A few days ago, Prime Minister Renault had agreed to drive all the warships to British ports. Now, at the cabinet meeting, a decision has been made: the French fleet should join the British navy, otherwise it will sink itself."

When General Sur saw this, he felt a spark appear before his eyes. Why should the fate of the French Navy be decided by the British cabinet meeting? What did the British regard themselves as? They regarded themselves as their own?

These hateful British people!

In later generations, after analyzing the incidents that occurred at the port of Milskbeer, some military observers believed that the British were too anxious and had too much appetite.

If the British Navy did not annex the French Navy, but fought in concert with the French Navy, then the French might accept it.

However, in the subconscious of the British, they have always regarded the French navy as their flesh, which is the reason why the tragedy eventually broke out. After all, the French are also arrogant.

Rubbing his eyes, letting General Sur continue to look.

"While the current French government can consider that they are in harmony with the conditions of armistice between Germany and Italy and these commitments, His Majesty the Government of England, based on our past experience, believes that Germany and Italy will seize the French fleet when they think it is appropriate and use it to fight Britain and its allies."

"To date, we have been your comrades and cannot sit idly by and watch your good ships fall into the control of the enemy Germany or Italy. We are determined to fight to the end. If we defeat us, we think we can defeat us, and we will never forget that France was our ally, our interests are France's interests, and our common enemies are Germany. If we defeat, we solemnly declare that we must restore France's glory and territory."

Seeing this, General Jean-Sur's hands were already tightly held together. The British were still talking these nonsense!

Although the ordinary people in the lower class do not know it, General Jean Suer knew that in order to withdraw their expeditionary forces, the British even let the French army be used as bait! Let the French army go to Dunkirk, while the British were preparing to break through at the port of Calais!

Friends are used to betray. At the critical moment, they just climb out of the trap while stepping on their friend's body. This is what the British always do!

Will they also help restore France's glory and territory? If there is really such a day, France may become a vassal of Britain!

He resisted the urge to tear the letter apart and continued to read.

"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 in the wars against Germany and Italy.

2. Cut crew members and head to British ports under our supervision. Cut crew members should be repatriated as soon as possible.

3. Then lay off the crew and drive with us a French port in the West Indies, such as the Martinique, where we will completely disarm the ships as we ask, or leave them to the United States for safekeeping until the end of the war, and the crew can be repatriated first.

Almost every method here is formulated with a high attitude. Your French fleet must do this!

Moreover, seeing the following made General Sur even more angry.

"If you refuse these fair and reasonable suggestions, then, I wish to apologize with the deepest apology, and ask you to sank your ships within six hours. Finally, if you fail to follow the above methods, then I have to use all necessary powers to prevent your ships from falling into the hands of Germany or Italy, according to the orders of His Majesty the Government of England."

"Fair and reasonable. These British guys still think that such conditions are fair and reasonable?" General Jean Suer said to himself: "Now, even if I don't see my old friend, I know what his attitude would be."

Is it necessary to meet?

"General, then how should we reply to the British?" asked the captain of the Dunkirk on the side of General Jeansour.

How do you reply? Let General Sur look at the sea in the distance and say, "Send a telegram back to France and ask Marshal Betan and General Dallang for instructions."
