I'm starting from the assumption that the French government determined to retreat to North Africa and continue WWII.

Certainly the vast majority of the fleet escapes plus the national gold reserve along with gold from Poland and other occupied nations. The colonial garrisons are available and @100 fighters from the US already en route.

Question 1: What else could be salvaged from France in terms of troops? Planes? Industrial capacity in the south of France?

Question 2: What could be destroyed which Germany would have preferred to take intact?

Question 3: How long might organized military resistance in France, perhaps in the south or the Atlantic coast continue?
