******
Invasion of France, also known as Six Weeks, is a war that is not easily seen in modern history.
Because France, the traditional power that won World War I, fell so easily.
Although the military power of Nazi Germany is strong, it is normal for it to last at least half a year. However, with one sickle operation, all expectations were reversed.
Because the armored forces of Nazi Germany passed through the Ardennes forest and drank all the power of the British-French Union around it.
Of course, it wasn’t going smoothly from the beginning. France is also preparing its own defenses, and since the blitz itself is the first attempt, Germany has no choice but to die.
However, a miracle was achieved by combining the tears of German commanders and the misjudgments of the Allies.
In particular, the difference between the commanders was decisive. France used an outdated doctrine, while Germany was faithful to the mission-type command system.
Even though the French armored force is superior in terms of specs, the reason why Germany replaced all of them is because of that system.
Above all, the reason for victory was overflowing as the difference was stark from ‘communication’, the most important thing in the war.
[What is the mission-type command system used by the German army? Is this a field that can be applied to us as well?]
[It’s really hard. Blood and steel can become a commander if they are ‘educated’, but it is difficult for us to do so.]
[The mission-type command system is not a system that can be introduced immediately. Instead, you can choose an advantage.]
It would be surprising if it was unexpected, and it would be natural if it was obvious, but the mission-type command system did not receive much sympathy.
The earth is not the power of people, but the quality is important, and in this world, people’s power is important.
In this world, each person is treated as a tactical strategic weapon, and there is no concept of a ‘frontline’ itself.
Boom at once like a team fight of the soul! Most of them are attached, and this is one of the reasons why blood and steel is treated as a fantasy.
Just like the saying that technology is unnecessary in front of overwhelming power, in this world, a mission-type command system cannot be introduced because it is possible for a person to have such power.
Oh, of course, there are weapons with ‘overwhelming power’ on Earth. I believe everyone knows.
[It will remain as an example that clearly demonstrates the importance of communication.]
[Why didn’t France even use the code? I don’t understand why they do such stupid things.]
[The end of those bound by the frame of ‘tradition’.]
Second, communication. At that time, French communication equipment was not good to say the least.
no ‘Asshole’ is one word that can describe the entire French communications system.
If a lower-level unit was robbed excitedly, it should be reported immediately, but it took only two days for the French to reach the upper line.
What’s even more speculative is that the signal soldiers even sent a herd to ensure rest. It was an era when even the telephone was invented, and it was very appropriate for six weeks.
[If I were the commander, I would have cut off all of their heads.]
It’s not even his job, but how many tantrums can he have to the point where he even leaves comments like that?
Although it is an era where wires do not exist and people fight each other like a team fight, at least they are well aware of the importance of communication.
Furthermore, there is no law that says a knight must fight a human. Even in the case of large-scale monster subjugation, the military goes out directly.
When communication is smooth, the command can respond immediately, and the units under it can also coordinate.
[The capital was captured, but it was not a desperate struggle. Why don’t you resist to the end?]
[Was Petain really a German spy?]
[Humiliating surrender. France didn’t even fight properly.]
I understood that the capital was captured and surrendered, perhaps because it was the Middle Ages, which was moving into modern times.
But surrendering so ‘powerlessly’ exploded them.
In the Middle Ages, the capital was the kingdom itself. This is because not only symbols but also various infrastructures are concentrated.
However, it may be because this world is a fantasy, but it is not completely dense.
As you can see from the Myshal manor, which is rapidly developing into a cultural city, it can develop into a wonderful enough city if you invest.
Still, the fact that the capital is a symbol does not change, and if the capital is attacked, it is on the side of defending it with energy.
[They didn’t even fight back until each and every soldier fell.]
[Pétain had to act like de Gaulle. Even the word coward is a waste.]
[Aristocrat who gained life and abandoned honor.]
From the point of view of those with a medieval mindset, Pétain was a perfect fit for ‘coward’.
Rather than fighting to the death for honor, he surrendered without looking back when the war situation became unfavorable.
The irony is that Petain was one of the heroes who led World War I to victory.
[What on earth made him a coward? Is it because of the great war that occurred before?]
[They seem to think that the viciousness of Nazi Germany will not reach them.]
[Even if you are afraid of war, you should not sell your country.]
[Charles de Gaulle is a true nobleman and patriot. The war is over, but the struggle is not over.]
Some questioned how terrible World War I had been to sign the surrender, and some criticized it.
It is absurd that he surrendered helplessly, but de Gaulle expressed his resistance to the end.
It’s still a comparable situation, but Petain went one more drink and became the head of Vichy France, that is, the puppet government.

Later, de Gaulle saw this and evaluated it, saying that although he was brave, his country’s hero and his idol had disappeared.
To defend it even a little, it is that unnecessary blood was not shed, but it is criticized for giving France’s national power to Germany.
In this way, France, which suffered six weeks, was not well-received by people with a background in the Middle Ages.
In particular, the capital city, Paris, is ‘old’. The biggest part was that he gave it away in the way of ‘accept it’.
However, the target of criticism was not directed only to France.
[Italy… what are they doing?]
[Hitler respected Mussoloni, but Italy had no power.]
[How to manage an alternative army to lose to France? Even for the mountain troops?]
Italy, which continued to struggle throughout World War II, was also the target of criticism. When Germany invaded France, Italy joined the Axis.
Italy is also a country belonging to the great powers, but it has suffered too many wars and lacks the infrastructure to sharpen its military.
Furthermore, Mussolini staged a coup d’état and had many internal problems.
[Still, I believe that this opportunity will change. Germany also had many problems when it invaded Poland.]

Later, Italy also groaned against Greece, much to the anger of Hitler.
He participated in the invasion of France because of his jealousy towards Hitler. They just declared war without any plan.
How did it go? Merchant ships scattered around the world were plundered by the French mountaineers and plundered by the British.
[Anyway, isn’t that encouraging Hitler too much? Six weeks is an absurd record.]
[Even if the scythe operation was successful, why did they helplessly surrender?]
[As it was before, I am deeply concerned about whether Zenon really knows about war.]
Since the six weeks in France itself is a history that makes no sense, there are people who doubt me.
There is nothing to say about this part, it is the history that actually happened.
It’s not me, it’s the earth. Perhaps that is why the feeling of injustice soon disappeared.
In this way, the six weeks of France have become a burden to everyone, both you and me.
Invasion of France, both on Earth and in the fantasy world. It’s a bit funny, but it’s the reality.
Still, not everyone was focused on invading France.
[A miracle that happened to the Allies. Withdrawal from Dunkirk.]
[If this is not a miracle of God, what is it?]
[It is a miracle given by God, but at the same time it is a miracle created by people.]
[‘Motherland’ is seen. Is there any line that is as touching as this one?]
The withdrawal operation of Dunkirk, which can only be explained by the word miracle.
In volume 17, Operation Sickle and the occupation of Paris accounted for about two-thirds, and only Dunkirk filled the rest.
It is also an operation that civilians voluntarily went out to save soldiers, but it is because there was no operation like this to fill ‘mulberry taste’.
In addition, not only commoners but also the British upper class drove their own yachts. It’s a development that’s satisfying enough even for the aristocrats.
What is crucial is plausibility. These are the readers who criticized the French 6 weeks, saying that it is nonsense.
However, the Dunkert evacuation operation received more attention because it was a miraculous withdrawal of troops that could actually happen.
[We will fight on the beach. We will fight at the landing site. We will fight in the fields and in the streets. We will fight on the hills. We will never surrender!]
Finally, even Churchill’s speech revealing his will to fight.
One of the speeches was a staggering boost to British morale.
Readers said that Pétain should have given that speech, and admired how such a difference could exist between countries that participated in World War I.
But people don’t know. Churchill’s greatest dark history, the ‘Battle of Gallipoli’.
If you describe it later, you’ll probably be bored.
[Britain conserved forces through the Dunkirk evacuation operation. What remains will be a war between England and Germany.]
[The Royal Navy is many times more powerful than the German Navy. Are you going to use the French Navy?]
[Maybe there will be a battle between air forces. Whatever it is, there are many options.]
As France collapsed, Britain was naturally left alone. Britain will have to deal alone with Nazi Germany, which has also absorbed France.
Is it because the evil deeds of Nazi Germany and bulking up overlapped? Readers were also in an atmosphere of cheering for England.
However, what the British did next was Operation Catapult. This will be written at the beginning of Volume 18.
An operation that the British completely destroyed until the French fleet was absorbed by the Germans. The point is that Germany did not want to eat and feel sick.
Of course, the French side had no choice but to rage, but since they were beaten for six weeks, they would have no right to speak.
‘And I have to make the big brother appear soon.’
Speaking of big brother, of course it is the United States. The arms lending law, which is called the arsenal of democracy, will appear sooner or later.
In this world, there was something similar to the Lend-Lease Act, in which Dwarves airlifted weapons to the Human Alliance during the Tribal Wars.
I made a huge amount of money with that one, so if it’s similar, it’ll be similar. Britain was also able to breathe through the Lend-Lease Act.
‘There will be a toxin war and the attack on Pearl Harbor. finally······’
to the Holocaust. From now on, the story will be centered on the Soviet Union and the United States, not Germany.
If the Holocaust appears, Nazi Germany will evolve into a ‘great teenager’.
There are many things to think about, so it is predicted that it will take a long time.
So I’m going to put myself in canned food. It should be possible to restore the relationship with Mora as well as to do both.
Also, through Mora, he plans to listen to ‘the past of Luminous’ little by little. The god of light, once revered as the god of war.
[Prophecy again? How far will North’s power of prophecy go!]
[Currently, reporters are crowding in front of North’s mansion…]
[Is it the birth of another prophet? Or is it a coincidence?]
What about Nos… let him do it himself. it’s not my knowledge
You’re f*cking alone to get me down somehow, but is there any reason for me to care?
Above all, even though I am busy right now, I am too busy.
“Isaac.”
“Yes?”
“What are you hiding?”
“······”
I’m in danger of being found out by my lovely fiancée.
I rolled my eyes and replied with a cheeky smile.
“Can’t we just pretend we don’t know?”
I feel like I’m too stupid.
