Menento is home to very little except the planetary fortress of Cesterite, which has extensive naval, air, and army basing facilities as well as a planetary shield. If you spend about, say, a couple months before D-Day flying random groups of ships in Accel space over Menento, the French will get used to it and not pay attention to it. This means that when they see yet another accel space signature headed towards them, they'll ignore it, except this time it's your invasion force and you'll be in orbit and on the ground before they can really do anything. You'll likely encounter a small airgroup and a couple army units in a number of fortresses on the ground, though very quickly it'll be clear the French literally can't hold the place. If they had a day or two to prepare, to get the equipment out, to raise the planetary shield, to deploy to the fortresses, to get the airgroup in the air, to get the supplies headed where they're supposed to go, and get orders from Godrine, they could hold out for the arrival of the Mirusian Fleet. But here, there's no chance. They'll likely surrender the planet (and by extension the region) within a couple of hours of your landing on the ground with an overwhelming force and presenting them with an ultimatum. (Whatever you do, don't attack them, that's where the plan will blow up in your face.)
