Swiss army trains for French invasion
A bankrupt France tears itself apart into several regions, and one of them marches over the border to Switzerland to get back its stolen money. The Swiss army has this imaginary scenario covered, according to military simulations revealed over the weekend. ● Switzerland's army simulated a French attack against their country in training exercises in August, the newspaper Matin Dimanche revealed on Sunday. The army imagined a scenario in which France was in financial turmoil and had split up into several regional entities. One of these, "Saônia," was preparing attacks on Switzerland to retrieve money it had apparently stolen from it. Operation "Duplex-Barbara" was practiced at the end of August, according to the Swiss daily, and essentially involves the (existing) Jura region of eastern France breaking away from the rest of the country. "Saônia" then launches the invasion across the Swiss border, with a pro-Saônian government paramilitary group, the BLD (Brigade Libre de Dijon) going "in search of the money Switzerland stole from Saônia," according to Matin Dimanche. "The exercise has strictly nothing to do with France," said Daniel Berger, captain of the Swiss armoured brigade. "It was prepared in 2012 when fiscal relations between both countries were less tense."
