During the Armistice of Rethondes event chain, the AI has a 5% chance of fighting on. In that event, the French provinces don't switch to German/Vichy ownership, the partisan risk remains at ~25% and the German AI devotes half a hundred divisions to anti-partisan duty:
That makes for a very boring game as the USSR since Germany will never have enough troops at the border to launch its invasion. An event to cede ownership of the French provinces after they are all conquered would solve this. My suggestion:
The text is taken from existing events which would have fired if the AI didn't choose to carry on fighting.
Changing FRA into U01 (Free France) is optional but allows America to fire lend-lease events.
If the Vichy tag's minister, tech team and leader files were reintroduced to DH, Germany (assuming the AI files were adjusted) could then create it as a puppet:
(Cores on just Vichy and Paris, with Paris set as the capital in case a human Germany chooses to remove claims before releasing it)
Might want to add revolt.txt entries for the two French colonies too, I don't see why they're left out:
e: looks like Germany won't release Vichy when Paris is claimed, guess the capital needs to be #74
