Chapter 105: The British-French Naval Battle! Great Lack of Virtue!

……

At the end of Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Chenggong, who was very proficient in naval warfare, felt a little angry when he saw the options given by the British on the sky screen.

"Humph! The first one is equivalent to outright treason! Who would do it?"

"There is no essential difference between the second and the first!"

"What a shameless British guy! Do you really think the French don't have temper?"

"Only the third one, if you can send your fleet to your own colonies, would that be a normal condition."

"But the navy cannot act alone and must follow the orders of the nation."

“I wonder what choice the French side will make?”

"Should we take a tough stance against the UK, or should we give in?"

"But judging by the title on the sky screen, France probably suffered heavy losses this time."

……

[The British side issued an ultimatum.]

[On the one hand, we have already prepared for the battle. ]

【But the French are not happy! 】

[From the French perspective, they had already been betrayed by the British once again, and now the British were forcing the French Navy to accept humiliating conditions.]

[No matter how much you have to bow your head under someone's roof, you can't lose face like this! ]

【So the Vichy government of France decided to take a tough stance! Start the film! 】

[The French Navy Commander-in-Chief sent a message to the French Navy in Algeria, telling them to hold on.]

[Navies from other parts of France are on their way to provide support.]

【On the British side, the negotiations collapsed. 】

[I also struck my allies without hesitation. 】

[After more than a hundred years, the British Navy once again fired at the French Navy. ]

[Although the French Navy was well prepared, it was stuck in a small port and could not do anything.]

[The navy can’t even arrange its formation! ]

[The British army also laid mines outside the port. ]

[Plus, the British had already taken aim, taking advantage of their air force advantage.]

[As a result, the British Navy's artillery was extremely accurate, aiming at the core of the French fleet and firing wildly.]

[The fierce bombardment, each strike deadly, instantly devastated the French navy.]

[The flagship battleship Dunkirk was hit repeatedly, caught fire, and ran aground. ]

[The destroyer Mogador was hit by the ammunition depot, causing a huge explosion and ran aground. ]

[The battleship Provence was hit, caught fire, and ran aground. ]

[The battleship Bretagne suffered the most. It was hit, exploded, capsized, and sank. More than a thousand French officers and soldiers fell into the water.]

[The British army came to rescue, but many of the Bretagne's soldiers who fell into the water refused to be rescued, saying firmly: They would rather drown than accept rescue from a traitor!]

[Within ten minutes, the advanced fleet that France was so proud of was almost destroyed.]

[Only the battleship Strasbourg saw that the situation was not right and fled at full speed with several destroyers.]

[The British Hood pursued at full speed, but the French navy, which successfully left the port, truly demonstrated its strength.]

【Evade the British army's pursuit with a gorgeous move.】

【The Hood could only return in disappointment.】

[The battle in which the British Navy defeated the French Navy ended here.]

[The French battleship Bretagne was sunk.]

[Dunkirk and Provence suffered heavy damage.]

[More than 1,300 people were killed, and hundreds of others were injured, with a total casualties of nearly 2,000. ] [Only two British soldiers were injured in the entire battle. ]

[Within a few days of Operation Ballista's opening, the British and their forces seized control of a French aircraft carrier, sank a battleship, damaged three battleships, and seized control of three more battleships.]

[Although the French Navy still has a considerable number of remaining ships, it has lost the ability to pose a strategic threat to Britain.]

【After the operation, the relationship between Vichy France and Britain reached a freezing point. 】

[Free France, led by Charles de Gaulle, protested against this matter many times, but as a government in exile, it was naturally unable to do much.]

[This battle also became the first major victory of the British Army in World War II. ]

……

《Bullet comment: The British guy said he is a professional at pitting his allies.》

"It was ruthless! But it did not only protect the homeland but also weaken the strength of the Axis powers in the Mediterranean. The final result of this naval battle was still very good."

"Aunt Hood had a bad character, so she died miserably in the end."

"The main force of the French fleet was destroyed in less than ten minutes. Isn't the gap between this and the British Navy too big?"

“Is this also considered breastfeeding?”

"In fact, Britain did not want to take action, but in order to maintain its naval advantage, it had to do so."

"After hearing the news, Charles de Gaulle cursed, causing his Free France to have few supporters for a period of time."

Did France finally take revenge?

"No war was declared, only the severance of diplomatic relations with Britain was announced, and a few bombs were dropped on the British fortress in Gibraltar as a token of respect."

"In fact, Britain's third condition is acceptable. Giving the fleet to the United States or the British is indeed unacceptable, but sending the fleet to their own colonies is still an acceptable condition."

"At least it's better than being sunk by the British."

"In fact, the French high-level officials were deceived. The British Army's third clause was not too harsh, but the news was suppressed by the French Navy, and the French government didn't know about it at all!"

"Otherwise, the French government might agree to the third condition."

"Ah? Why didn't the French Navy report to the higher authorities?"

The French government is willing to move its navy to the colonies and disarm them.

"Where do you put the French naval commander? What is he without his fleet?"

"Well, I always hear you say that the British are cheating their allies, but I don't know where they are cheating. Now it seems that they are cheating. "

"Haha, this is just the tip of the iceberg! Currently, more than 90% of the world's wars and conflicts involve the presence of the British. "

……

The sky video ends.

The ancients saw this so-called first major victory of the British Army in World War II.

I am speechless.

Emperor Xin: "I heard from Tianmu before that being Britain's enemy is dangerous, and being Britain's ally is fatal."

"I finally understand how deceitful the British are!"

Qin Dynasty.

When Ying Zheng saw what was on the sky curtain, he felt a little unhappy.

Although the conflict between Britain and France had nothing to do with Daqin.

But seeing how the British betrayed their allies, they actually made a profit in the end.

It always made Ying Zheng feel a little unhappy.

"I feel that the UK is a professional at cheating France. I wonder how France will view the UK in the future. Will it continue to be an ally of the UK?"

"Which country in the future can make the British suffer a setback?"

Ying Zheng remembered what Tianmu had said before.

The Germans, with their Maxim machine gun defense line, killed more than 6 British troops in a single day.

"Does it mean that in order to make the British suffer, we have to rely on Germany?"
