A Free French naval command in the Mediterranean

Richelieu and restored French control in North Africa provide the basis for the proposed Mediterranean operations against Italy.

Question

What would Foxo do if placed in command of the Free French Navy during the Second World War?

Short answer

For the later-war setting, the proposal uses Richelieu and the position in North Africa to support operations against Italy in the Mediterranean.

Notes

Foxo's preferred deployment depends on when this hypothetical command begins. The 1940 response is a joke about leaving for the Caribbean and opposing de Gaulle. For a later period, Richelieu and restored French control in North Africa provide the basis for Mediterranean operations. The proposed role is to join the pressure against the Italian navy.
