What Zhang Chi didn't expect was that this suggestion immediately brought him another big order......

Because there are 200,000 people in the Zoaf Corps, and all the uniforms of these 200,000 people have to be changed, and each person must have at least two sets...... So 400,000 sets are needed, not counting the broken ones that need to be replaced. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In addition, there are Moroccan and Tunisian, and if you want them to fight on the battlefield, updating their uniforms is a basic requirement.

This made General Juan very difficult, such a large number, and Algeria has no industry, the usual uniform production was basically done by handicraft workshops, and now suddenly hundreds of thousands of sets, where is the money to get even worse, even if there is money, there is no ability to drive it out.

General Giraud threw this headache to the United States.

Of course, the United States will not refuse: this is just a small amount of money for its deep pockets, and after investing this small amount of money, it will still get the combat effectiveness of hundreds of thousands of troops.

As for who will complete the production of uniforms, the first thing that comes to the mind of the United States is the Chinese factory...... There are mature production workshops there, and there are many cheap laborers, which are able to produce the most products with the least amount of money.

So when Zhang Chi heard the news, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, how could he turn around a lot and finally become his own business.

However, this was a great joy, because at the exchange rate at the time, three dollars per uniform, these hundreds of thousands of uniforms were millions of dollars in business.

And it is expected that the production of uniforms will need to be continuously produced for a long time, because the uniforms will be old, worn, and worn...... Especially for an army that is going to battle, the demand for uniforms can be said to be astronomical.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but smirk a few times with "hehe", and then he knew what it meant to move his whole body, and a suggestion he made casually could cause a "storm".

The uniforms will not be completed so quickly for a while, after all, the number of needs is very large, and before that, it needs to be designed...... However, this step was dispensed with, as General Juan suggested that the uniforms of the French troops stationed on the "Maginot Line" be used directly, which the French called the "Bastion Forces".

General Zhu An once showed Zhang Chi this uniform, and when Zhang Chi saw that it was earthy yellow, he nodded in agreement.

Obviously, General Zhu An will choose to use this uniform, which means that he will be ashamed.

It is worth mentioning that the military cap is a small dark brown beret with a cockade with the inscription "onnepassepas".

"What does that mean?" Zhang Chi asked casually.

"Ugh!" General Zhu An's face couldn't help but turn red, and he paused before replying: "What does it mean...... No one wants to pass through here! ”

Zhang Chi almost burst out laughing, but he endured it only because he considered General Zhu An's feelings. After that, Zhang Chi couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this cockade.

Zhang Chi also encountered a problem when formulating a training plan.

That's not to say that Zhang Chi doesn't know how to train...... The Chinese Expeditionary Force itself does not know how many times it has been trained, and it has also had several experiences of training other troops, and this training only needs to be done step by step.

But the truth is that it's not that simple.

After learning about the equipment and establishment of the Zoaf Corps for a period of time, Zhang Chi finally drew up an outline of a training plan.

General Zhu An looked at this outline and couldn't help but be puzzled: "Major General, in the previous battles, you have been emphasizing that our army lacks the coordination of open space and infantry tanks, but I don't see the relevant subjects in this outline!" ”

"General!" Zhang Chi replied: "It depends on what equipment the Zoaf Corps has, or what kind of battles will be fought on the battlefield in the future!" ”

General Zhu An couldn't help but sigh, and then nodded helplessly.

Air-ground coordination, the Zoaf Corps does not have an air force at all, in fact, the air force still has it, but it is nothing more than a few old-fashioned fighters in the Algiers airport, and those fighters can barely be used for reconnaissance, going to the sky to fight or cooperate with the infantry to strike targets...... Forget it!

Infantry and Tan coordination, since the attack on the Mares Line, the tanks in the hands of the Zoaf Corps have almost run out, and there are no tanks anymore.

"We ...... Is it possible to ask for assistance from the Americans? General Juan asked.

"Absolutely!" Zhang Chi replied: "I think the Americans will be very willing to provide you with military aid!" But ......"

After a pause, Zhang Chi continued: "It doesn't seem to take long to learn to drive a tank, but to build an armored force that can fight on the front line, it can't be done overnight. ”

"So what now?" General Juan said: "There are no tanks, no planes, we only have infantry, as you said before, do we still have to ram the enemy's guns with the bodies of soldiers?!" ”

"There are two options!" Zhang Chi said: "One plan is for you to become a part of the Allied forces, I mean, to coordinate with the air power and tank forces of the British army or the American army!" ”

General Zhu An rejected this plan without thinking about it.

Zhang Chi also knew that General Zhu An would not be willing to do this for two reasons:

One is that the French had a grudge against the British, and although they joined the ranks of the Allies, they were unwilling to be under the command of the British.

Second, if this was done, the Zoaf Corps would not be able to fight without the British and American troops, which would not be conducive to the independence of France...... General Juan did not want France to fall to the point of British and American control.

"Let's talk about the second plan!" General Zhu An said.

"Just use the equipment you have!" Zhang Chi replied: "You have artillery and infantry, and that's enough!" ”

"But that's not enough!" General Zhu An said: "If it was a war, it might have been possible, but now it is different!" ”

General Juan's concept has kept up with the times.

"This is indeed it!" Zhang Chi replied: "But it's not absolute!" ”

"Tell me about it!"

"The general knows that we once fought with the Japanese in the Pacific!" Zhang Chi asked.

"Yes!"

"The Japanese are also facing this problem!" Zhang Chi said: "Their equipment is far inferior to our army and the US army, the armor of their tanks is even so thin that even machine guns can penetrate it, and the air and sea supremacy are almost in the hands of the Americans, but the Japanese are still just as difficult, and in many places they even fight very well!" ”

"What do you mean to say......" General Zhu An looked at Zhang Chi in surprise: "You plan to use Japanese tactics to train the Zoaf Corps?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.
