Scenario two keeps France, its industry, and Atlantic ports in the war

If the French state continues fighting, Germany confronts a renewed front at the end of its supply lines and loses French Atlantic bases.

Notes

French industry continues supplying its fleet and army while a second British expeditionary force joins the battle. German spearheads remain at the end of strained logistical routes and cannot reorganize using captured French trucks and production. France also denies Germany Atlantic U-boat bases, dry docks, and the shorter approach to convoy routes. Surface raiders must return through the same northern exits the Royal Navy can close behind them, while submarines operating from Norway face rougher seas and greater support demands.
