De Gaulle was silent as soon as he heard this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

General Giraud replied excitedly: "It's the United States, of course it's the United States!" ”

"No!" De Gaulle said: "It was Britain who supplied and equipped 'Fighting France'!" ”

"But the British supplies and equipment even came from the United States!" Giraud retorted.

"I don't know what's the point of saying this!" De Gaulle said: "You know, these are two different things, the affairs of France should be decided by France, right? As for who will provide the supplies...... That's the problem between France and other countries like Britain and the United States! ”

De Gaulle's argument was clever in that he was trying to sideboard the matter and alluding to the United States' interference in France's internal affairs.

"General de Gaulle!" Zhang Chi replied: "If France has the ability to recover the lost liberation of France by its own strength, then this is indeed France's business." But don't you think it's ridiculous if France needs help from someone else and on the other hand says it's none of anyone else's business? ”

De Gaulle's remarks were obviously a quibble, on the one hand, he demanded and was subject to others, and on the other hand, he emphasized autonomy...... So why do others have to give France a large amount of supplies and military aid without the slightest benefit?!

It was not that de Gaulle did not know this, but that he pretended not to know.

"In my opinion, this insight is unacceptable to me!" De Gaulle said: "Because this is a plan at the mercy of foreign countries." General Giraud, you must know that the First Consul Napoleon was unanimously praised by the people in the war and independence, what kind of referendum do you think should be held to agree to the contents of this plan? Do you think it would be beneficial for you to hold a referendum? Besides, Napoleon won the approval of his citizens as a general who won many great victories for France and occupied vast territories, where is your victory? ”

Then de Gaulle said unceremoniously: "Besides, you don't know that in France, public opinion is all about attacking the Vichy government. However, your position was first taken from Darlan, so you have taken your present position in the name of Marshal Pétain. Under these conditions, do you believe that you will be able to win the support of the majority of the French people? Without the support of the people...... Can you hope that a government that is only a government in name only, if not a target for rebellion, can you hope that such a government will lead the French people to victory and liberation?! ”

I have to admit that de Gaulle had a great talent for oratory, and he talked so eloquently and solemnly that he didn't need to make a draft at all.

"General de Gaulle!" Zhang Chi interrupted de Gaulle: "I don't think it makes sense to say this, because as far as I know, the United States is only willing to contact General Giraud in terms of supplies and assistance. ”

De Gaulle was stunned when he heard this.

"Let me be clearer!" Zhang Chi emphasized: "Now you or General Ji Luo have two choices......

Zhang Chi raised his head towards the plan on the table: "Either do it according to the plan, or ...... France solves its own problems on its own. If you can fix it, no one will say anything to you, otherwise...... Please put away your public opinion and referendum and all that stuff. Facts have also proved that the referendum and public opinion are also unreliable, because the 'Maginot Line' was built with the approval of the French people, isn't it? ”

General Giraud added: "As I said before, General de Gaulle, what you said is a political issue, I don't want to get involved in any political vortex, for me, I only know about the rebuilding of the French army, I only know that we lack equipment and supplies, can these 'fighting France' give us?" No! But the United States can, we can use these equipment to defeat the Germans and liberate France, if your method works...... Well, then General de Gaulle, I suggest you hold a referendum in France and let the French people use the referendum to drive the Germans out of France! ”

At this time, Zhang Chi couldn't help but give General Ji Luo a thumbs up in his heart, which was really good.

However, De Gaulle was clearly not going to give in, so the two of them exchanged words back and forth in the conference room.

Zhang Chi felt that it didn't make much sense, so he found an excuse and left.

Because he realized that it didn't make sense, and everyone understood the truth, and De Gaulle emphasized the French people, and General Giraud emphasized the reality...... It should be said that both the will of the people and the reality are important, but at this time it is obvious that reality should prevail, because the people do not really care whether the future government will be in power by De Gaulle or Giraud, they are more concerned about being able to drive the Germans out of French territory as soon as possible.

In this respect, de Gaulle was exaggerating and using public opinion as his bargaining chip.

Colonel Weber was standing outside the door, and when he saw Zhang Chi coming out, he smiled heartily and said, "It seems that they didn't talk very happily!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi took the cigarette handed by Colonel Webb and said, "But I think they will come up with a plan in the end!" ”

In fact, Zhang Chi doesn't have much confidence in this, because if he continues like this, he will probably keep it as it is and move nothing...... It's actually nice to leave it as it is, so that France has two governments.

Outside the villa, several gunshots rang out, and then the gunshots rang out.

"What's going on?" Colonel Webb yelled at several American GIs on the other end.

"I don't know, Colonel!" The GI replied: "Maybe it's a partisan attack!" ”

This answer is the same as no answer.

Weber threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, pushed open the door of the conference room, and said to the two French generals and their entourage inside: "Gentlemen, we are under attack by unknown forces, please come with me!" It's not safe here! ”

The American GIs apparently had a safe house or something like that.

Sure enough, the group followed General Webb down the stairs and soon came to a basement...... It's a good place to hide, and even if you blow down the entire building with artillery, you won't do any harm to the people hiding in the basement.

Zhang Chi walked to the door but did not enter.

Weber couldn't help but glance at Zhang Chi suspiciously, and said, "General, what are your orders!" ”

Zhang Chi walked back and said, "Close the door, I'm not a person who needs someone else's protection, give me a rifle!" ”

Webber couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then nodded, casually snatched the rifle of a soldier next to him and threw it to Zhang Chi, and said, "It's yours, General!" ”
