Hello and thank you for listening to a history of World War 2 episode 34 armistice by June 18th as each hour went by Churchill and his work Edmund had less time to be angry at the French that anger or disappointment was being pushed aside by the growing

apprehension about the French fleet Churchill's character was wanted for always looking for a way to strike a superior foe while simultaneously preparing

himself for the overpowering assault coming his way this meant keeping his options open and that meant controlling the

Mediterranean Sea the English Channel and the sea lanes in the Atlantic between his island and the American East Coast

the reports coming back to the British Prime Minister from various sources all held bad tidings for his people the French cannot be nailed down on what they intended to do with their fleet

most assuredly it was not on its way to British or neutral ports and really that's all that mattered the fleet was not moving in France's

possession and France in some form or another was about to be in Germany's possession Churchill could not take the

strain of unknowing any longer if he had had a crystal ball he would have looked into the heart of the new French government

meanwhile the Vuitton regime would have given much to borrow that crystal ball and to know what the Germans were thinking

unable to take the pressure anymore himself beta called the Spanish ambassador de la Cuatica at 10 30 a.m. on the morning of the 18th

to see if there was any word from the Germans retreating French troops were only three days away on foot from Bordeaux

and it was assumed the Germans were right behind them having the Germans so close beta wanted to get the negotiations underway

or at the very least to have an understanding with the Germans if the Verkmark captured Bordeaux

and the government negotiations would then not be needed also beta had to combat at least verbally

those who were still most anxious to leave for Africa as the Germans came towards them

by 5 p.m. of that day the presidents of the two chambers were also buckling under the weight of anticipation

and met with Le Bras and Pétat they wanted the government to move they thought it managed to remain
