Chapter 33 How strong was France in World War II!

As Confucius' fist gradually hardened, the video on the sky screen continued to play.

[Fluid people: refers to people whose gender changes over time and environment. ]

【Organ person: a person who thinks he is a certain organ. 】

[God-organ man: Similar to organ man, but thinks he is an organ of God. 】

[Partial male: A person who identifies part of his body as male. ]

[Some women: Same as above.]

[Intersex: refers to a person who has multiple gender characteristics at the same time. ]

[Cross-sectional women: People who identify themselves as female but exhibit characteristics of males. ]

[Cross-section male: same as above.]

【Unlimited gender: People who believe they can be of any gender. 】

[Genderqueer: People who do not conform to the existing gender determination system. ]

[People with non-human gender: People who believe that their gender is a species other than human. 】

[A person with a male body and a female mind: a person who thinks that his body is male but his mind is female.]

[Reproductive gender: People who believe that their gender is their biological organs, not their own person...]

Too many genders.

Listing them one by one makes this section of the sky curtain extremely long.

After a long half hour, the sky screen video finally ended.

then……

The ancients... were silent.

I can only sigh:
"I can't read it, but I'm shocked!"

"Perhaps, the world in the future is too crazy!"

New canopy.

[How strong was France before World War II! Worthy of being the best army in Europe! ]

[As we all know, it is written in the textbooks that France was known as the best army in Europe before World War II.]

[Then let’s talk about how strong France is! ]

Outside the sky, the ancient people had their own thoughts when they saw the beginning of this video.

Shang Dynasty.

Emperor Xin looked at it with disdain and said, "France? Isn't it just a bunch of crap that was destroyed in a month?"

"How strong can it be?"

"I estimate that France will be a second-rate country in future Europe."

"In history, France has probably always been beaten up by Germany."

Qin Dynasty.

Although Ying Zheng also remembered that Tianmu had said before that France was destroyed by Germany in just one month during World War II.

But what if Tianmu was just talking nonsense or joking?

Just like Li Shimin, the elderly Li Shimin who appeared in the sky, ceded half of his territory to the Marshal of the Bohai Liao Kingdom and begged for mercy.

But another section of the sky curtain introduces in detail Li Shimin's deified performance in the Battle of Hulao Pass.

Maybe the rumor that France was destroyed in one month during World War II is also nonsense?

Furthermore, maybe the story about the fall of the Qin Emperor II is also false?
Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong also looked at this section of the sky very seriously.

Because Qianlong is now very confused about France's strength.

According to Qianlong's previous understanding, France had reached an alliance with him and was prepared to jointly contain Russia and Britain.

It is definitely a top-tier power in Europe.

But the sky also said that France was defeated instantly in World War II.

As a result, Qianlong now has doubts about France's true strength.

……

Sky. [Before World War II, France was absolutely strong. We will use the data around the time when Germany attacked Poland in 1939 to show you.]

[Before the war, France's population was about 4100 million, while Germany's population was about 6800 million.]

[Although the population of France is not too large, it is quite large in Western Europe. ]

[The land area of ​​France is 55 square kilometers, slightly higher than Germany and almost equal to the combined land area of ​​the United Kingdom and Japan.]

[And the natural conditions are excellent, it can be said to be the most fertile land in Western Europe. ]

[France is also an old colonial country, with a large number of colonies around the world, with a total area of ​​more than 1200 million square kilometers. ]

[If a real fight breaks out, a lot of blood can be sucked from the colonies. ]

[In fact, it can be said that France is far ahead of Germany in terms of both area and disposable population.]

【Gross national product is $234 billion, while Germany’s is $350 billion.】

[This is also data without colonies.]

[In terms of the military, France had 1939 million troops before the war in 300! ]

[It was the best in Europe at the time, much larger than the German army's total strength of about 175 million at the same time.]

[In terms of tanks, France has more than 3500 tanks. ]

[Both the quantity and quality of the Germans overwhelmed the 3350 tanks, mainly Panzer I and II tanks.]

[France has a more obvious advantage in terms of the number of artillery, with nearly 11000 artillery pieces, while Germany has only 7500. ]

[Only in terms of the number of aircraft, the German army, which was the first to complete the reform, had 2400 aircraft, which suppressed the French 1500. ]

[The navy was completely crushed. ]

[Germany is a continental military country, while France is more powerful, a country with both land power and sea power. ]

[Before the war, the French Navy had 1 aircraft carrier, 3 battleships, 19 cruisers, more than 50 destroyers, 101 submarines, and was highly modernized. ]

[The German army had only 2 battleships, 11 cruisers, and 39 submarines. ]

[It can be seen that before the outbreak of World War II, France and Germany had a win-loss record on paper. ]

[Germany has a big advantage in economy and industrial capacity, but overall it is on the same level as France. ]

[And it is different from Germany, which is expanding everywhere and has a highly militarized country. ]

【France has not invested fully in the defense industry, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped. 】

[Germany's military industrial output value could double directly from 1938 to 1939.]

[France may not double, but it will easily rise by more than 50%! ]

Outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng said with relief: "The case has been solved, completely solved."

"If Germany is compared to the Qin Dynasty, then France is at least the Zhao State before the Battle of Changping."

"Although Germany may be stronger than France, it is only so strong."

"How could a full-scale war between two powerful nations of similar strength be defeated in just one month?"

"Li Si, after seeing France's strength, what do you think?"

Li Si looked at the sky curtain and felt that he had gained a lot.

Similarly, his ideas are very similar to those of Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I also believe that France will not be an easy opponent in the Second World War."

"From the data, the gap between France's strength and Germany's should not be too big."

"Germany may be stronger, but I think it's because Germany entered the war earlier."

"Just like our Great Qin before, we have advantages in systems and institutions, which can better unleash the country's war potential."

"Your Majesty, do you think that France's strength is not such that it can be destroyed by Germany in just one month?"

"I think so too."

"Maybe the previous statement in the sky curtain that Germany made France surrender in just one month was a joke or adaptation."

"Just like what Tianmu showed before, Li Shimin who took over half of the country is totally inconsistent with the actual history!"

"How could France be defeated by Germany in just one month?"
