Sketching a timeline, an idea presented itself of the French staging a sort of fake surrender, leaving a figurehead government in metropolitan France that would surrender to Germany, while a "rebel" government stablished itself on Algiers and kept fighting on. I don't think that it's very plausible (in fact in story it's supposed to be one of those last ditch schemes of Churchill to keep France in the war, like the Franco-British Union), but I want to hear your opinions about this.
