PART XXI : NEW EUROPEAN ORDER
Fuhrer in Paris

French Army surrendered but remaining BEF troops are still resisting. There are 8 British divisions left in France. They were ordered by British government to fight until all their ammunition run out.
Due to mountainous terrain of Norway, Fuhrer ordered Narvik to be taken by amphibious landing. Busch's infantry divisions are given the task.
Fuhrer announced annexation of Luxemburg to the German Reich.

Today, Lithuania is declared as one of the Soviet Socialist Republics.
All BEF forces in France surrendered today. 5 divisions surrendered near Dunkirk and 8 divisions surrendered in Chartres and Falaise. Battle of France costed Britain 130.000 men.
June 23, 1940
Narvik falls. Norweigan government decided to sign capitulation agreement.
June 24, 1940
Following the defeat of France, Fuhrer began to reorganize the invaded territories. Occupied French territories will be under direct military rule. Netherlands will be ruled by Reichcommisariat Netherlands. Fuhrer appointed Seyys-Inquart as Reichcommissar. Belgium and part of Northern-France will be ruled by Reichcommissariat Belgium-Northern France. Von Falkenhausen will be Reichcommissar of this region. Norway will be ruler by Reichcommissariat Norway. Fuhrer appointed Jozef Terboven as Reichcommissar of this region. Aim of all reichkommissars are specified as to pacify the resistance and to maximize benefits to German War effort from their regions.
Fuhrer issued general orders regarding the future of the war after French defeat. Fuhrer's orders :
1) All 18 garrison divisions protecting the Sigfried Line should be deployed through the Atlantic and the Channel coasts in order to prevent possible landings.
2) Bulk of the Army should be sent to Soviet border to secure our borders and to curb Soviet expansionist dreams in the region.
3) U-boats which are anchored in Hamburg dockyard since the beginning of the war should move to submarine bases in La Rochelle and should wait for further orders from Fuhrer.
4) Britain is determined to continue the war. We have to force Britain to make peace thus I want Luftwaffe bomber and fighter formations to be based at Cherbourg and Paris airfields for operations against Britain.
5) OKW should prepare invasion plans for Britain (codenamed as Operation Sealion) and submit these plans to me immediately.
6) With Paris in our hands, our influence in the Eastern Europe is irresistable. Germany became the master of Europe. Foreign Ministry should increase its efforts to persuade Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria to join the Axis Powers.
Garrisons began to move to French coasts.

Economical situation of the Reich. We have 300.000 reserves left. We can increase the number of our reserves by drawing labor from less-important industries but Fuhrer doesn't want to hamper German economy by enacting general mobilization yet. Our fuel reserves are important concern to us. Fuhrer ordered the fuel stockpile to be increased.
With the capture of Narvik, we can again import Swedish iron ore which is vital for our war industry.
June 25, 1940
Today, Fuhrer visited Paris.

Because most videos related to Germany include swastikas which I can't delete. I put video-less version here. But if you want to watch videos as well, I would suggest you to look at my signature.

Ah, tricky! Two birds with one stone.
Is it possible to force Britain to sign a peace treaty with you in DH without attacking them directly?
I don't think that it is possible without invasion. I am just trying to roleplay Hitler
I will try invasion but just few seconds ago Royal Navy sunk some of my ships near Norweigan coast and my transports are also in very vulnerable position in the port of Narvik. If they are sunk too, I won't have any chance to try invasion.
I have 300 manpower left. It is also shown in the last update
How much manpower did you lost in total? I lost over 400 and I think I will lose the game

In France ? I lost something like 150 manpower.
PART XXII : NAVAL BATTLES OF NORWAY
Admiral Hipper Cruiser going to the bottom of the sea
June 25, 1940
A British fleet spotted our fleet near Narvik. We lost 3 Light Cruisers and 1 Destroyer while British lost 1 Light Cruiser and 1 Destroyer. Fuhrer is angered by the bad performance of Kriegsmarine and replaced Raeder with Dönitz. This change also reflects the more submarine-based approach to the naval warfare.
Raeder's fleet is ordered to hide in the Norweigan fjords near Trondheim until we become sure about the security of Norweigan coasts.
June 26, 1940
Today, A French colonel called De Gaulle delivered a speech to French people through BBC to encourage people to fight against Germany. the British are trying to undermine authority of Petain's government. In his speech De Gaulle stated that :
Believe me, I who am speaking to you with full knowledge of the facts, and who tell you that nothing is lost for France. The same means that overcame us can bring us victory one day. For France is not alone! She is not alone! She is not alone! She has a vast Empire behind her. She can align with the British Empire that holds the sea and continues the fight. She can, like England, use without limit the immense industry of the United States.
De Gaulle delivering his speech
Apparently, the British and French resistance are hoping help from United States as was in the Great War.
Kesselring's bombers are given the task of searching through Norweigan coast for enemy ships. Fuhrer wants to be sure about the security of Norweigan coast.
June 27, 1940
Today, German Foreign Ministry sent a note Swiss government demanding further economic cooperations. Swiss government is advised not to make trade agreements with Allies in political way. Swiss government whose country is encircled by Italy and Germany has no choice but to accept German advices.
Equatorial Africa joined the forces of so called Free France. It seems that Petain's government is not able to exert full authority on French colonies.
June 28, 1940
Today , the British aircraft carriers conducted air strikes on the port of Narvik sinking one of our transport ships.
German Transport ship sinking after British air attack
British aircraft carriers conducted air strikes on fjords near Trondheim but all our ships achieved to escape succesfully. Fuhrer ordered all the ships anchored in Norweigan ports to return to Kiel port for avoiding British air attacks.
Returning routes of our ships. Transport ships will follow longer path to fool Royal Navy in the region.
June 29, 1940
Raeder's fleet was spotted by Royal Navy.
We lost heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper. Remaining ships escaped from British carriers but took heavy damage.
July 1, 1940
All Remaining German ships in Norway returned to Kiel dockyard. Naval Battles of Norway costed us 1 heavy cruiser, 3 light cruiser, 1 destroyer and 1 transport ship. These results show the inability of Kriegsmarine to cope with superior Royal Navy.
July 2, 1940
Today, United States and Britain signed an exchange agreement. United States will give Britain badly needed destroyers and Britain in return will give United States land rights on British possessions. This is another act of agresssion from United States aiming to destroy Germany.
July 3, 1940
We are increasing our pressure on Eastern Europe to make them join Axis Powers. These countries should now learn that no country on Europe can continue to live peacefully without being friend of German Reich.

You can use the new naval mission "Sneak Move" to try escaping without being detected.
I will but this time I didn't have much time a chance to use it. My fleet was caught in the open sea.
But I may ask one question, I used longer path for my transports to escape from Royal Navy, I predicted that they were near the coast. But when I give "sneak move" order my ships follow the direct path which goes through the Norweigan coast. My question is that which one is better ? If I had given sneak move order through the coast, would have British fleet been able to spot my fleet ?

It depends on your luck. Sneak Move has a lower speed but also lower visibility.
Looks like Sealion is out of the question, time to start preparing for Barbarossa!
Any particular reason why you chose not to annex the Balkan countries?
Any particular reason why you chose not to annex the Balkan countries?
I want to ally with Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia for their armies. I will need each division I can find for Barbarossa. If Yugoslavia choose not to ally with me, then I will invade them. Italians will probably attack Greece so I will invade Greece as well. If I annex them, I will lose their divisions and invading them will cost me some amount of manpower. In short, I think allying with Balkan countries is more beneficial than annexing them.
