Mainz was waiting for someone to question him, so after looking at the reporter who asked the question, he smiled and said,”Of course, words are not enough. Even if I ask them to admit their identities now, you probably won’t believe it, right?”

The reporter nodded as a matter of course. Of course, he wouldn’t believe it, because who can guarantee that these two people were not tortured by the German army or threatened by some means, so they had to stand up and say something that was not sincere?

Unless Hans can come up with more credible evidence, it will be difficult to convince people with his words alone!

“There should be many people at the scene who have the same idea as this reporter, right?”

Mainz said to everyone with a smile. If only one person expressed doubt, then the persuasiveness would be too small, as if Hans deliberately arranged a show. By then, even if Mainz produced decisive evidence, these people could just admit it in person and deny it behind his back, then Mainz’s efforts would be in vain!

He now hopes that more people will jump out to question him, so that when they see the mountain of iron evidence, they will not be able to compromise or deny it!

The reporters looked at each other, and soon, most of the reporters raised their hands and expressed their doubts.

“Very good, since everyone is very suspicious of the truth of this matter, please move outside. I promise you will get the answers you want!”

After Mainz finished speaking, he no longer cared about the reactions of these people. He took the lead and walked out of the Palace of Versailles.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what tricks the Hans were going to play, but after thinking about it, they finally followed.

“President, are we……”

Marshall glanced at his own president and asked him for instructions.

Roosevelt thought about it. Since he had caught up with such a big melon, he would naturally have to eat it.

Moreover, assassinating the leaders of other countries is indeed very bad. If the British really have such intentions, the Eagles will have to take it seriously!

After all, the relationship between the British and the Eagles has never been very good. Before the British went to war with Hans, their first imaginary enemy had always been the Eagles in North America, so the means they used to deal with Hans at this time might be used on the Eagles in the future!

Therefore, for the sake of his own safety, President Roosevelt needs to pay serious attention to this matter!

On the other hand, the President of Gaul, Marshal Pétain, had similar thoughts in his mind as Roosevelt.

Although Mainz’s announcement of the establishment of the Third Reich in the Palace of Versailles was a humiliation to Gaul, he did not crown himself emperor after all, but only announced the establishment of the Third Reich. This at least preserved a face for Gaul and did not let them lose face in front of the world.

Therefore, Marshal Pétain was somewhat grateful to Mainz, and this matter also involved his personal safety.

As a defeated country, a puppet country of Han, the personal safety of the president could not be guaranteed at all. As long as the Hans were dissatisfied with him, they could replace him at any time and place, and then quietly put him under house arrest or even kill him!

This kind of thing was still terrifying for Marshal Pétain, so in order to prevent this from happening, he felt that he should seize this opportunity to formally confirm one thing: that is, no matter how the war between countries, they could not use various means to threaten the lives of other national leaders.

As long as this matter was confirmed, then even if Hans wanted to send someone to replace him in the future, his ending would not be too bad, at least he would not die suddenly!

So, after Mainz left, Marshal Pétain followed without hesitation.

The leaders of various countries were still a little hesitant, but when they saw the Gauls and the Eagles followed Hans out of the palace, they did not dare to stay here any longer. The two major powers had expressed their positions. If they stayed here, wouldn’t it be a blatant opposition to Hans?

What virtue and ability do they have to go against Hans? Do they think their lives are too long?

So, leaders of various countries followed him.

The Palace of Versailles is located in the southwest of the Iron Tower City, which is already in the suburbs. At this time, after everyone followed Mainz out of the palace, they came to an airport not far away.

This airport was originally a military airport of the French army. When the Battle of the Iron Tower City broke out, the 120 French aircraft deployed here were originally going to take off to protect the safety of the airspace of their capital, but because they were scared by the German Air Force in Benelux and other places, the pilots jointly refused to fight and were unwilling to take off to die.

So, the 120 fighters here were captured by the Germans without firing a single shot.

Because these fighters were relatively backward in performance, the Germans did not think much of them. It would cost extra money to dismantle these things, so both the mustache and Speer were having a headache about how to deal with these things. Because they had not yet figured out a solution, these planes were basically all left on the airport apron!

Seeing these neatly arranged fighter planes, the reporters and leaders of various countries were very shocked.

More than a hundred fighter planes were placed side by side, and the scene was actually very shocking.

However, what shocked them even more was the Gauls’ attitude of directly giving up resistance.

There were obviously more than 100 fighter planes, and they could obviously take off to contribute to the defense of the capital, but they chose to refuse to fight, giving up the battle to save their lives, without caring about the safety of their capital.

This kind of negative attitude, before seeing this airport and the planes on the airport, the reporters and leaders of various countries lacked an intuitive feeling in their hearts!

At this time, the German army gave them this opportunity.

“These Gauls are really something, they are so afraid of death that no wonder they can’t defeat the Hans!”

“Isn’t it? So many fighter planes didn’t take off, and they were captured by the Germans intact. They really have no backbone at all. And it is conceivable that this kind of thing is definitely not an isolated case. There have been many similar situations in this war. Otherwise, how could the Germans capture more than two million French troops?”

Because the Gallic Campaign did not last long, the number of French casualties was not large. However, on the other hand, more than 2 million soldiers in Gaul were captured. The ratio of prisoners to casualties was very high, which indirectly proved these people’s speculation: most of the French troops did not resist much and surrendered directly to the Germans!

Seeing this scene, reporters took pictures of it and preserved it as ironclad evidence for the future.

While discussing, leaders of various countries pointed fingers at Marshal Pétain and other high-ranking officials of the Gallic government.

“In fact, the Gauls had tried their best. Although many of them surrendered, most of them surrendered after the fall of the Eiffel Tower. At that time, the situation in Gaul was already hopeless and it was meaningless to continue resisting. Marshal Pétain had also issued an order to surrender, so they really cannot be blamed!”

Marshall explained to President Roosevelt in a low voice. He admired the Gauls.

The failure of this war was not because the French soldiers were afraid of fighting, but because they were hit by a dimensionality reduction attack.

The German army almost completely crushed them in terms of equipment, tactics and strategy.

It was normal for the Gauls to use old tactics to fight against the brand new German army. Moreover, the German army used the unexpected tactic of raiding the Ardennes Forest, which caught them off guard and made them unable to advance or retreat.

It can be said that after Guderian’s army broke out of the Ardennes Forest, the war was doomed and the Allied forces were bound to lose.
