: 0.044s Scan: 0.060sHans agreed to sign a peace treaty with Marshal Pétain, promising that he would not divide Gaul, which made Marshal Pétain completely relieved!!
After he informed the Gauls of the news through a national broadcast, the whole of Gaul was jubilant, and countless Gauls took to the streets to celebrate. Some emotional people even cried and shed tears of joy.
This puzzling scene made the German soldiers quite puzzled:
Isn’t it that we won the battle and Gaul lost the battle?
Why do the Gauls look like they won the battle and we lost the battle?
Could it be that the Gauls like to lose a big battle and celebrate the whole country when they lose a battle?
What a puzzling habit!
The German soldiers could not understand the Gauls’ thoughts, but Marshal Pétain could easily feel the joy of his compatriots.
Suffering such a huge defeat, the entire country had no power to resist the German army, and the Gaul people had already panicked!
They thought that after what they did to Hans after World War I, they would definitely retaliate tenfold and a hundredfold after Hans defeated them. The lost Alsace and Lorraine regions would definitely be swallowed up by the German army. Not to mention how big the German appetite was and how much land they would annex, no Gaul could give an accurate answer!
Almost everyone thought that this time there would be a large area of land in Gaul that would be cut off, and they would definitely pay Hans an astronomical war reparations!
Therefore, when the news came out that Hans agreed not to divide the territory of Gaul, the Gauls were so excited, because this news greatly exceeded their expectations!
Although the German army made huge war claims to Gaul, it only took Alsace and Lorraine, and did not divide other areas of Gaul.
Although the Gauls felt a little sorry for the loss and recovery of Alsace and Lorraine, they had been ruled by the Hans for more than 50 years before, and they had taken it back for less than 10 years, so the Gauls didn’t care much about these two places. As long as the Iron Tower City and the surrounding large core areas were not divided, it would be great news!
Although the agreement stipulated that the actual land controlled by Gaul was only about 300,000 square kilometers, the other coastal areas close to the Atlantic Ocean, including the Iron Tower City, were under the control of the German army. They were listed as occupied areas, and the areas controlled by the Gaul government were listed as free areas.
However, the Gaul government still had sovereignty over the occupied areas. Hans did not deprive them of their sovereignty and promised to gradually return the occupied areas to the Gaul government after the war.
This promise was enough to completely dispel the doubts in the Gauls’ hearts!
With Hans’ promise, the Gauls didn’t want to use force to resist Hans at all.
After all, Hans’ military strength was so strong that it was hard to say whether they could beat him if they resisted on their own.
If they could really win, then their millions of troops would not have been defeated and surrendered so easily!
Therefore, the Gauls were naturally very happy to accept the way to take back their land without resistance!
After the signing of the Treaty of Eiffel Tower, the Vichy regime was officially established.
Marshal Pétain established the Vichy regime with the support of Hans, dissolved the parliament, appointed himself as the head of state, and had all the decisive powers. Although he did not have the same privileges as the emperor, he basically had the same privileges as the emperor!
This change turned the Vichy regime into a fascist government, completely Hans, and became a vassal state under the protection of Hans.
The Gaul people still did not react much to this. In their view, at such a critical moment, Marshal Pétain could stand up at the age of more than 70 and help them through the crisis with all his strength. There was nothing wrong with him being the head of state.
The most important thing was that the people did not dare to object. After all, the millions of German troops were staring at them in their country at this time!
Marshal Pétain was reluctant to become the head of state. He had his own ambitions, and Hans also wanted to cut off his retreat and make him completely turn to him, so he had no choice. Whether he was willing or not, he could only accept Hans’ arrangement!
After Marshal Pétain recognized the head of the Vichy government, the new President Roosevelt also arrived in Hans and officially started his visit to Hans.
“Roosevelt is unwilling to come to Eiffel Tower City?”
Roosevelt’s visit to Hans was originally planned, but things seem to have changed.
Roosevelt’s plane did not land directly in Eiffel Tower City, the capital of Gaul, but went to Berlin, the capital of Hans.
At this time, almost all the senior government officials of Hans went to Eiffel Tower City in Gaul. They were going to participate in the grand military parade held in Eiffel Tower City. In this case, President Roosevelt went to Berlin where no one was. This move was a bit abnormal!
This made Mainz think: What exactly is Roosevelt doing?
Did he see through his intentions and not give him face, or did he have his own ideas and ulterior motives?
“He said he was a little tired from the journey, so he needed to rest for a while!”
“Did he clearly state whether he would come to the Iron Tower City to attend our military parade?”
Mainz was very concerned about this question, because it was the core issue.
There were only two purposes for Roosevelt’s visit: to get along well with Hans!
To draw a line with Hans!
If he came to attend the military parade in the Iron Tower City, then the former possibility was more likely.
Even if he didn’t want to get along well with Hans, attending the military parade was at least a way to continue to feign complicity with Hans in the short term.
And if he directly refused to attend the military parade, then his attitude would be very clear, he was here to draw a line with Hans!
Of course, there was a third possibility: Roosevelt’s statement was ambiguous, neither clearly refusing to attend, nor clearly stating that he would attend. This vague attitude would make it difficult for people to guess what he was thinking.
However, one thing is certain, the relationship between Hans and Eagle Sauce may not be able to continue as before!
……
Berlin, inside the hotel where President Roosevelt is staying.
President Roosevelt, who had just arrived in Hans, walked into his bedroom with the help of his wife.
His condition had further deteriorated when he was canvassing for votes. Although he could still walk, it was more difficult and he needed someone to support him at all times.
Most of the time, President Roosevelt spent his days in his wheelchair.
This kind of life was a torture for him, especially when he had experienced the feeling of good health, and compared it with the feeling now, a person with weak willpower would probably collapse directly.
Fortunately, his willpower was very strong. Although he felt very painful physically, he still maintained an optimistic attitude mentally.
“Thank you, Eleanor, if it weren’t for your help, I might not have been able to do it myself!”
Roosevelt said to his wife with a smile. Eleanor felt a little distressed when she heard his words. She suppressed the pain and said,”What is there to thank us for? We are husband and wife. We should help each other and never leave each other. Have you forgotten? This is the oath we made to God when we got married!”
Roosevelt smiled. He didn’t believe in oaths. After experiencing these things, he no longer believed in God at all!
“Go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow morning to buy medicine at the penicillin factory!”
Yes, the reason why Roosevelt came to visit Hans is because the penicillin factory in Hans has produced a special medicine for viruses – Virus Blast!
This medicine is said to be able to fight the virus in his body!
