France in World War II: the nominal victor, the de facto defeated power
After World War II, there were many jokes about France:
1. If the French were to sell rifles left over from World War II, what was their advertising slogan?
Frenchman: Brand new, never fired, only thrown to the ground once.
2. The timetable for the struggle against fascism during the Second World War of the five permanent members of the United Nations is as follows:
China 1937-1945
Soviet Union 1941-1945
United States 1941-1945
United Kingdom 1939-1945
France 19:39—19:45.
This is so because France's performance in World War II was a capitalized provocation! After only 40 days or so, he surrendered. The speed is so fast that the Germans who are good at blitzkrieg are stunned: God, it turns out that France is also good at 'blitzkrieg'! Got it! Later, the 'Free France' led by General de Gaulle used the power of the flood to barely save some face. Is it because of the good French language that became one of the five permanent members of the United Nations after the war as a victorious country?
Throughout the history of France, there is no lack of highlight moments, heroes and talents, Napoleon I, Saint Peter, etc., so that these heroes can see the French in World War II, it is estimated that the coffin board can not be suppressed.

In contrast, is it not quite right with the current Gaulish chicken? Yes, from a Gallic rooster to a Gallic hen. More romance, no more blood. The taste is also not right, could it be that the KFC recipe has changed?
