The tricolor flag of Lorraine Red Cross of Free France is still flying high above the small town of Saint-Pierre, the capital of the Miquelon Islands, facing the strong North Atlantic sea breeze, demonstrating France's unyielding spirit of freedom. .

Unlike the malignant speculation of Lieutenant General Fraser in the United Kingdom (Canada), Charles de Gaulle and his free French soldiers never thought of surrendering to the Germans who ruled Europe. Because in their opinion, the Fourth French Republic, which was now following Germany, which was prosperous (now without Vichy France, France led by Betan, was called the Fourth Republic) completely lost its dignity and soul, betrayed the French nation, and became a follower of German-dominated Pan-Aryanism.

When Pan-Aryanism develops to the end, it will inevitably be that Aryan national identity replaces the original French national identity, causing the French nation to be destroyed in the long river of history!

After losing French national identity, France will undoubtedly become a historical term and be completely integrated into the so-called United States of Europe. In this way, the French nation and country will be completely destroyed.

Such a miserable prospect is naturally something that French patriots like Charles de Gaulle could not tolerate. Although Charles de Gaulle himself did not oppose the establishment of a European community and the realization of French-German integration, what he and his comrades imagined was not pan-Aryanized Europe, but a European community where all nations live together freely, equally, and fraternally, and French as their main official language...

In addition to opposing the Fourth Republic on the issue of France-dominated or Germany-dominated, there is another important reason why the soldiers of Free France firmly stood on the side of the free world. This reason is that Saint-Pierre and the Miquelon Islands have been blocked by the Americans with tens of thousands of magnetic mines, anchor mines and shipwrecks. All ports, including the smallest fishing port, cannot be used, and various obstacles, mines and landmines are deployed on every beach where landings or ships can be docked.

The entire Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands can only be maintained with air transport, and the contact between the islands can only be achieved through the air. The 65,000 freedom fighters, 42,000 families and civilians of the Free France Movement, and 6,000 French residents need all of them through airdrops. On average, Americans have to drop 200 tons of supplies into the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands to ensure the survival of 113,000 French people.

Moreover, Americans also control the reserves of essential goods on the archipelago through supply transport. Now, as long as there is no airdrop for a week, the 113,000 French people on the archipelago will be hungry!

Before Germany cleared the mines around the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands and salvaged the wrecks in the port locked port, it had no spare time to ensure the supply of 113,000 Frenchmen... A transportation volume of 200 tons per day requires sixty or seventy Fokker 42 transport aircraft to transport. If these transportation volumes are used to ensure landing troops, at least two heavy-duty divisions can maintain high-intensity operations for a day.

In addition, the large military airport built by the United States near the small town of St. Pierre was also destroyed in the name of expansion two months ago. However, the expansion was not completed for two months, and the construction site was still bumpy. Even the construction machinery left by the Americans on the island was completely destroyed by the destruction of "German spies".

In other words, even if the Germans brought 113,000 French supplies and took over the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands, they would not be able to deploy me264 and me262t on the archipelago in the short term, which greatly reduced the value of the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands.

However, on the morning of April 25, 1945, General Charles de Gaulle, chairman of the French National Liberation Committee, and Henry Giro, director of the Free French Armed Forces, issued an order to implement wartime martial law, announcing that Saint-Pierre and the Miquelon Islands would soon be attacked by the Nazis and fascists (Nazis refer to the Germans and fascists refer to the French)!

After the order was issued, the two of them and other members of the French National Liberation Commission living in the city of St. Pierre, all left the city of St. Pierre and entered the "Freed Fortress" located in the northern highlands of the island of St. Pierre. This fortress is a reduced version of Churchill's Naval Fortress. However, it is not too small. It accounts for almost one-third of the land area of ​​St. Pierre, but it does not deploy security guns with a caliber of more than 240mm, nor does it have armored turrets. The strongest firepower used by the "Freed Fortress" is the US m1 240mm cannon.

Near the Boyn (a peninsula with a flat terrain and a key point of landing for the Allied forces), a coastal defense fortress called "Pershing Fortress" is built, which is similar in size to the "Churchill Naval Fortress". This fortress has as many as 4 dual-equipped 406mm armored turrets and 8 powerful 406mm cannons not only block the nearby ocean surface, but also cover the entire Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands!

When a Renault-branded car produced by Charles de Gaulle and Giro drove into the entrance of the "Freedom Fortress" that was jointly produced by France, Henry Giro sighed: "Charles, I think this is our burial place, right?"

"The burial place?" Charles de Gaulle smiled bitterly, "Maybe? If they really captured Newfoundland, St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands would not be spared."

"Do you think the Germans will attack Newfoundland first?" Henry Giro asked back.

Charles de Gaulle nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, if they really want to enter North America from eastern Canada, seizing Newfoundland is a must and the only right direction... As for Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands, the Germans are not unaware of the situation on the archipelago, and it is useless to seize it."

"What? The Germans know about the situation on the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands?" Henry Giro was stunned.

The Germans should not know that Saint-Pierre and the Miquelon Islands have always been under the strict control of the Free French movement!

"Of course," Charles de Gaulle sighed and turned his head to look at his assistant, "they have spies... a lot, a lot of spies! It's hard to defend! So Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands are not their targets, and we still have the chance of victory and revival."

"The chance to win?" Henry Giro was almost amused by Charles de Gaulle's unfounded confidence. What opportunities do France have now? Even if the Germans failed to attack North America, their rule in Europe could probably be maintained?

"Yes!" Charles de Gaulle nodded, "France still has the opportunity to win and revive. Maybe we cannot defeat the cruel Germans on the battlefield, but as long as we can arouse people's love for France's culture, spirit and free thought, France will inevitably have a day to regain greatness from the United States of Europe!"

At this time, the car had stopped at the end of the inner passage of the bunker. Dozens of thirties and forties were vaguely remembering that the former glory of France stood in front of two thick and thick doors, saluting Charles de Gaulle and Giro who were getting out of the car.

With the help of the dim light, Charles de Gaulle saw tears on every veteran's face.

Instead of walking into the door immediately, Charles de Gaulle stood in front of the veterans who had just cried and said loudly to them: "Soldiers, don't cry, don't cry, because France has only encountered difficulties. It has not perished and cannot perish.

As long as the fire of freedom in the hearts of tens of millions of French people is not extinguished, France will surely break away from the European community ruled by Germany in the future and become a great country again! So please wipe away your tears and remember the French spirit of freedom, equality and fraternity!

Long live the free France! Long live the unyielding French people!”

...

Just as Charles de Gaulle shouted the slogan "Long live the unyielding Frenchman", hundreds of French officers and soldiers were flying a Fokker 42 long-range transport plane belonging to the French Air Force Transportation Command to Newfoundland.

These Folk 42 long-range transport aircraft are part of the 508 Folk 42 aircraft used in Operation Columbus. Most of the aircraft are shipped with weapons, ammunition and various supplies to be airdropped on Newfoundland Island, and some are also equipped with fully armed German paratroopers!

Forced to serve in the French Air Force transport aircraft unit, François Mitterrand, who served as machine gunner and cabin service personnel, was located on the No. 903 French Air Force transport aircraft. The platoon leader of this paratrooper platoon was a Nazi murderous devil who was disgusted by Sergeant Mitterrand from his bones, which could be seen from the Knight Iron Cross hanging around his neck! As an Air Force sergeant commander, he could wear the Knight Iron Cross to find a devil whose hands must be covered with the blood of liberal and gist warriors! He may have killed many French people...

Private Mitterrand sat in the cabin and stared at the terrifying German devil with a gloomy face for a while. It was not until the other party noticed him and cast a cold look that he quickly lowered his head and pretended to look at his watch.

It is now Eastern North American time. It was around 11 a.m. on April 25, 1945. According to the above order, in a dozen minutes, these damn Germans will jump down from the plane.
