Inspired from the thread about Imperial Japan and Hearts and Minds

https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...n-it-attempted-pre-sino-war-into-wwii.398082/

Read my follow up responses to comments in my thread to get an idea of what I will talk about here.

As I stated, initially the Japanese weren't brutal to the Chinese when they were running their captured colonies in China and Mongolia in the 1920s and 30s.

However when it became apparent that the Chinese were too nationalistic and proud to abandon their culture and idea of a the "nation of China" and as Chinese began to up their efforts in insurgency and later declared full out war on Japan in 1937, the Japanese gradually became more brutal. Once they suffered heavy casualties as they conquered Shanghai, Beiping, and especially Nanking in the early eyars of the second Sino War, the Japanese decided to go out on an all-out extermination ROI on the Chinese comparable to Nazi genocide in Eastern Europe and Russia a few years later.

So I wonder, what if after the French government surrenders but the French people refuse to be subjugated, how does this affect German interaction?

Scenarios:

1)Immediately after surrender in 1940, French civilians start getting their rifles and forming a militia to stop German soldiers from entering into France. In addition the entire French military continues fighting. To the point French civilians even quickly put on uniforms and ride taxis to quickly attempt to block the German military advance a la Miracle of Marne.

2)Same scenario as 1) but instead of awaiting for surrender, French men quickly mobilize and ride taxis as soon as news spread German soldiers got past Ardennes and are defeating the French army

3)Mass Guerrilla much like the Chinese against Japan OTL.
