On August 7 at 12:31 p.m., all French government officials and members of Parliament in Paris were taken under military control.
Just over ten minutes later, under the watchful eyes of many Parisians and the military, the renowned General Wegang entered the French government and, after about an hour, came out and headed to the French Parliament.
At 2:30 p.m., a press and diplomatic conference was held in the French Parliament. The incumbent Deputy Minister of Defence, Ron, Brigadier de Gaulle, and General Wegang all attended the meeting.
As the meeting commenced, Wegang made a shocking announcement, declaring that he would abolish the current French government due to their treasonous acts and establish a provisional military government.
Wegang stated that any attempt to surrender to Germany was a severe betrayal of France, and all members and officials who agreed to surrender to Germany would face sanctions from the Parliament.
