The second scenario closes with a warning that continued French resistance would not make victory easy. A large part of the French army is already cut off or surrendered, and weak radio communications remain a serious self-inflicted handicap. Germany's extended logistics are also near collapse and cannot count on a political surrender to provide a pause. The counterfactual turns on political endurance under bad military conditions while preserving the damage already inflicted by the German advance.
