"Linda and the kids will stay in Shanghai," said Pitt. "I can feel at ease with you as a friend in Shanghai to take care of them."

"I originally wanted to persuade you, but I also saw that your attitude was very firm." Cheng Qianfan blew up the ashes and said, "I won't say anything extra. With me in Shanghai, Linda and the children will be safe."

"Thank you, my friend." Pete nodded in emotion and said.

"Are you going to join the free French team of that Gao Lao General?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"Of course." Pitt nodded, "The Vichy regime is an illegal surrender regime, and only General Charles' free France is the regime that truly belongs to the French people."

"Then you have to be prepared to fight a civil war with the Vichy regime." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said.

Pete was silent, and the topic made him feel uncomfortable.

...

Yes, the British joined forces with free France and are now fighting against the French forces of the Vichy regime.

The cause was that in July last year, when the Vichy regime surrendered to Germany, the Germans agreed to the Vichy regime's naval fleet and allowed the French navy to remain neutral in the war.

However, the British obviously did not believe this. Britain was worried that the French fleet, especially the fleet stationed in the port of Mirskbeer in Algeria, would fall into the hands of the German army and threaten the control of the Mediterranean sea.

The British Navy issued an ultimatum to the French army, demanding that it join the British army, disarm or sail to a neutral country.

After the French refused, the British launched an attack, sinking a battleship and two destroyers, killing 1,297 French troops.

In this naval battle, the French Navy suffered heavy casualties.

It is indeed ironic enough to say that after the outbreak of the Europa war, the only major victory that the British army has achieved so far was actually a move against the French.

The French were even more sad and angry about this. In the words of Le Parisien: Germany defeated us and allowed us to retain the fleet, but the "ally" Britain has taken such a ruthless move on itself. Who is France's real enemy?

Vichy France immediately announced a severance of diplomatic relations with Britain.

Yes, although Britain recognized it at the beginning of its establishment, it continued to maintain diplomatic relations with Vichy France, and it was not until this time that the two sides broke off diplomatic relations.

This incident angered the French, and the French army then took revenge measures against Britain.

The Vichy-French army launched several rounds of air strikes on the British base in Gibraltar.

Last September, the British army joined forces with the Free French army to launch an attack on the port of Dakar, French West Africa. The Vichy French Governor Boiso of Dakar ordered a fierce counterattack to defeat the coalition forces of Britain and Free French.

After that, the guerrillas organized by the Free French Army and the Vichy French Army fought on the French mainland, and the battle was once tragic.

...

"So, are you going back to France and joining the guerrillas in Free France?" Cheng Qianfan understood and asked.

"Don't there also be troops from Chongqing and Yanzhou in your country fighting against traitors?" Pitt asked back, "As for the surrounding areas of Shanghai, have the New Fourth Army and the National Army been fighting against the appeasement army in Nanjing?"

"That is the illegal armed forces of the Chongqing pseudo-government and the Red Bandits!" Cheng Qianfan's face changed and he said seriously, "Peter, my friend, please pay attention to your words."

He looked serious, "I don't want to hear such wrong words again."

"It's your own will." Pete shrugged, "In the words of your country, justice is in the hearts of the people."

If you don’t talk too much, you will have a lot of words.

Cheng Qianfan had to change the topic, "You are back to France, what should we do if we have the supply of goods and transportation lines in Marseille Port?"

"I went back to France in secret. Linda is still in Shanghai. Linda will contact Marseille. You don't have to worry about this." Pitt said.

"You won't naively think that you left Shanghai and secretly returned to France to join the guerrillas. This matter can be absolutely confidential, right?" Cheng Qianfan said sarcastically.

"It's only one day to hide it." Peter took a few sips of cigarettes and said.

He looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Qianfan, my friend, if I sacrifice my life for the country in my motherland, please help me take care of Linda and the children."

Cheng Qianfan was silent. He looked at Pitt deeply, "Peter, you are in Shanghai, away from the war, have a good life, and our money-making business. You don't have to go back to France at all."

...

"I love my country," said Pitt.

"Are you not afraid of death? You don't think about Linda and the children. Linda may lose her husband and the children may lose their father!" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"Of course I'm afraid of death," said Pete. "But dying for the motherland is not a reason not to fight."

"As for Linda and the children," he suddenly laughed, "Linda will be sad, and even more proud of me. The war has won. If I really sacrificed my life for the country, the children will proudly say that their father is a hero, a hero who bravely fights for the free France!"

"You are so sure that Free France will win, just relying on those so-called guerrillas?" Cheng Qianfan raised a sarcastic meaning on his lips, "If you don't win, you may lose your life in vain, it's meaningless."

"How can it be said that death for the country is meaningless?" Pete smiled, with a bright smile. "Pick up the gun, fight, we are fighting, we have fought, we are willing to die for the country, that's the meaning."
