I suspose whoever was currently in charge in Africa wold continue in that position for the near term. Thus having responsibility for the inital fighting with the Italians. I dont recall if Giraud was a POW at this point. He was a minor player in 1940 any way. There were a long list of senior marshalls and generals to choose from. As Reynaud who would you choose as the new military chiefs to evacuate to Africa?

Certainly. I'd suspect the nazis would find some facist minded Frenchmen to orgainzed a collaborationist government, but that certainly would not be the same as the Vichy goverment.
