An era gone

Paris, France, Place de la Bastille.

This is the ruins of the Bastille. At this moment, a century trial is going on here, and the eyes of the world are gathered here.

Daladier was tied and sat in front of the iconic bronze pillar in the square, surrounded by a sea of ​​people, and in front of a solemn judge.

The clock on behalf of twelve o'clock struck, the judge stood up and struck the gavel, signaling silence, and then he began his speech through the loudspeaker: "Today, we are gathered here, and the public trial is a provocation. The dispute has brought us huge and needless casualties and forced us to sign many sinners who betrayed the interests of the motherland! Before the trial begins, although you are a sinner in the whole of France, you still have the right to defend yourself, Mr. Daladier. , after all, this is a people-oriented society, and this is no longer the Bastille."

Daladier has nothing to defend himself, this battle is indeed provoked by himself, and if it happens again, he will still launch the attack without hesitation, which makes him feel sad, but he has become a scapegoat and let go. A bunch of cowards ran away.

But those people have now become heroes who fought against their own "dictatorship". Even if they say it, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Daladier thought with a wry smile. It's really sad. The end of the trial before the ruins of Hell.

"You have nothing to say? You give up this right you deserve?" the judge asked.

"Yes!" Daladier raised his head after hearing this, "I just want to say that I did something wrong."

"Shh~" Everyone at the scene looked contemptuous and booed.

"My mistake, I shouldn't just send that little force to attack Germany, I should use all the power of France! I should kill all the cowards behind me! Hahahahaha!" Dalady laughed wildly.

The scene suddenly became quiet, all the boos disappeared, and people looked at the crazy Daladier in disbelief.

"MD, this lunatic!" "God, why did I vote for this lunatic in the first place?" "This devil is thinking of sending more soldiers to invade Germany?" "He has no repentance at all!"

Gradually, the swearing sound appeared in the crowd, and then the sound became louder and louder, and finally converged into a sentence: "Devil! Go to hell!"

Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, the judge hurriedly tapped the hammer hard, and regretted the act of letting Dalady speak.

"Quiet! Quiet!" The gavel in the judge's hand was about to break, and he was able to control the scene, "Since everyone thinks that you should go to hell, then I don't need to present the witnesses' evidence any more. After all, the eyes of the masses are sharp."

Daladier looked at the judge sarcastically, like a clown.

He understood that the judge was suddenly rushing to convict himself, and most of the cowards were afraid.

"Now I pronounce sentence, Edward Daladier, guilty of crimes against humanity! Found guilty of treason! Found guilty of breaching the peace! ... Found guilty of war crimes! Sentence, hang, execute immediately!"

With the end of the judge's sentence, there was a burst of cheers at the scene, and everyone applauded for the result of the sentence.

The gallows prepared early in the morning were pushed up, and Daladier, the man who led France to become the number one army in the world, was tied up by his own people.

Apart from helplessness and sadness, there are no other words to describe Daladier's mood at this time.

He raised his head to take a last look at the country he loved, and then bit into a capsule hidden behind his teeth.

Inside the capsule is highly toxic potassium cyanide, which is ridiculous. This capsule was sent to him by a spy sent by his sworn enemy, Leon, as the last gift. However, compared to being hanged, this thing can indeed retain the last dignity.

"He's taking poison! He's taking poison!" These were the last words Dalady heard before he fell into darkness.

Hours later, the French cabinet held an emergency meeting.

"Although he wasn't hanged, he was dead anyway." Lebrun smiled and said to his colleagues present, "if he is dead, we will be safe."

"Haha, it's still thanks to Mr. Lebrun that he came up with a good idea to let Daladier take the blame." A cabinet member complimented, "If it weren't for this idea, our black gauze hat and even our head would not be guaranteed!"

"Just kidding," Le Brun said, "if only one can die to exonerate all of us, why let all of us die together?"

"Mr. Lebrun is really amazing. Since that's the case, then I propose that Mr. Lebron take over Daladier's seat until the next cabinet election, right?" a member suggested.

"I agree!" "That's how it should be!" Once this proposal was made, everyone immediately agreed.

"Thank you all for your appreciation." Le Brun smiled, "Then I'll make it difficult, it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

"Where and where!" "The presidency should be reserved for the capable." The cabinet meeting was "happy", as if the cabinet would be more harmonious without Daladier.

"Then let's start the next agenda at this meeting." Le Brun, who had just become president, immediately showed his presidential style, "Let's discuss and discuss how to deal with Germany!"

As soon as this question was raised, all the cabinet members who were able to talk just now were speechless. The strong fighting power of the German army was deeply engraved in their hearts and lingered on them.

After being silent for a long time, a member said timidly: "I think... I think we can no longer easily engage in open fire with Germany, we should use the Maginot line we built and let them fall into the confrontation fortress group. the disadvantage!"

"Well said!" A group of people applauded, with the expression "Heroes see the same thing" on their faces.

"Well, I propose to allocate another sum of money to the Maginot line and continue to strengthen and improve it. We have to do it. Even if the Germans put all their explosives on the Maginot line, they will not be able to blow us up. The fortress group!" Le Brun said enthusiastically.

"Okay, I agree!" A group of people applauded again. After all, apart from continuing to strengthen the Maginot line, they had no good way to deal with the Germans.

In this way, the first decision made by Le Brun as French President was to allocate another 500 million francs to the Maginot Line to continue to strengthen and improve the largest fortress group in human history.

Gestapo headquarters in Berlin, Germany.

"General Heydrich, the latest French intelligence!" The Gestapo, who was in charge of collecting French intelligence, held up a thick document and hurriedly handed it to Heydrich.

"Former French President Daladier died of poisoning, and Le Brun took over as president."

"The French Air Force has placed a new order for 1,000 D.520 fighter jets."

"The French Congress allocated 500 million francs to strengthen the Maginot Line."

...

"A famous married female star in France cheated on so-and-so."

...

Heydrich flipped through the information one by one, and it took Heydrich half an hour to read the thick stack of documents. This information covered all aspects of France. Many French people didn't know about it. German spies gave Come on, this illustrates the horror of the Gestapo from the side.

For example, the French actress who cheated on so-and-so, apart from the parties, I am afraid that only the Gestapo knew about it.

"This piece of information has a high gold content, and the Führer should be interested." Heydrich quickly sorted out some important information that the Führer should know, and then set off for the Presidential Palace to meet Lyon.
