What if USSR invaded France during WWII? OK. we know that the Third Reich is sitting between them, and it has beaten one and almost beaten another. However, if we draw France and USSR together and fight, what will happen? (uh, sounds like a Red Alert mission...) Image it:
Near the Ligne Maginot (Maginot Line), a Soviet commissar (political officer) announces to soldiers with a speaking trumpet:
The one with the rifle shoots!
One out of two gets a rifle.
The one without follows him!
When the one with the rifle gets killed, the one who is following
picks up the rifle and shoots!
Next to the Ligne Maginot, the Soviet soldiers line up and stare at the line...the speaking trumpet announces again:
Soldiers of the glorious Red Army, from now on...
it is either victory or death!
Those who retreat will be shot.
There will be no mercy For cowards and traitors!
The Soviet attack starts (Uraaaaaa!!!!)... and frustrated.
Soviet soldier A:
It's hopeless, comrades.
Get back!
Soviet commissar:
In the name of the Soviet Union, not a step backwards, or we shoot.
No retreat! Not a step back!
No mercy!
Deserters will be shot.
Soldiers keep retreating.
In order to motivate them, Soviet commissar said:
Fire!
Shoot the traitors!
Cowards will be shot!
No mercy for cowards!
Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da...
10 Minutes later, French armor vehicle broadcasts to the corpse mountain :
Russians, surrender.
You will see your home again.
This is not your war.
Join your French comrades,
They understand your suffering...
and will care more for you than your own officers,
who are only sending you to your death.
La Troisième République (The French Third Republic) is not your enemy.
The enemy is blood thirsty Stalin And his Bolshevik camp,
who have stolen your land, who have deported your father-
OK I admit it's boring...
