Chapter 137
< World War II - Bonaparte Operation (2) >
September 24, 1940
Paris, the capital of France
The operation began on the 17th, but the French Army only finished deploying along the border area as planned on the 21st, and only then began their advance. Still, as an Army of 2 million, they began to push back Belgium in one fell swoop.
But from the start, the French Army's operation was not to get into a brawl with Belgium, but to quickly break through Belgium and strike Germany's defenseless underbelly.
With that plan completely derailed, the mood in the French high command was naturally in chaos.
-Prime Minister, I'll say it again. Even if you are the Prime Minister, I cannot accept the act of calling in the middle of an operation and interfering with command.
