"Then ......," Derabard then suggested, "We can choose not to meet, as we have been saying, the time is not yet ripe!" ”

"I want to do it too!" General Giraud replied with some distress, then took out a newspaper from the document, shook it at the crowd, and said: "But as you know, de Gaulle was not an easy person to deal with, he had the support of the British, and the British media were fully propagandizing for him, and he declared in the newspaper that he hoped that all the French and the French troops would unite to liberate France, while some people with ulterior motives were preventing this process!" ”

Needless to say, this "man with ulterior motives" refers to General Giraud and the French officers of the Algiers government. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

De Gaulle was a clever move, and he put the Algiers government in a dilemma with just a few words in the newspaper.

If you disagree, then de Gaulle said that the Algiers government was "people with ulterior motives" and did not want all forces to unite to liberate France.

By agreeing to meet, it is inevitable to discuss the question of who is in command of whom, and in this regard the Government of Algiers is clearly at a disadvantage.

This matter has been discussed and discussed, and no one can come up with a suitable solution...... None of these French generals were qualified politicians, including General Giraud, which is why General Giraud had to obey the command of "Fighting France" in the end.

Half an hour later, Zhang Chi was a little overwhelmed.

This matter had nothing to do with Zhang Chi, it could be said to be an internal affair of France, and it was inconvenient for Zhang Chi to say more about some things, so he never intervened.

Of course, even if it was like this, Zhang Chi felt that it was not suitable to speak openly at the meeting, so he took advantage of the break to invite General Giro aside and whispered: "General, why don't you tell the Americans about this?" ”

General Ji Luo couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Zhang Chi suspiciously: "Will it be useful to tell them?" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but say bitterly: "General de Gaulle is supported by Britain, and the United States will not sit idly by and let Britain take all its interests, so ......"

There was no need to say more about the next words, General Giraud couldn't help but nod with his mouth half open, and then said happily: "Yes, yes, I will contact General Eisenhower, thanks to the reminder of the major general!" ”

Saying that, he didn't even have a meeting, so he pulled his legs and walked to the communication room.

After a while, General Giraud returned to the conference room in a triumphant manner and said, "Gentlemen, we will soon arrange a meeting with General de Gaulle!" ”

Hearing this and seeing General Giraud's expression, the French generals couldn't help but be confused, General Giraud was still worried about this matter just now, but now ......

"All I can tell you is that everything is arranged!" General Giraud said.

Hearing what General Giraud said, the French generals also guessed that there must be American intervention behind this.

The arrangement that General Giraud refers to is, of course, the arrangement of the United States.

And what Zhang Chi didn't expect was that this thing would come back to him after a circle......

Soon after, Zhang Chi received a call from Eisenhower.

"Major General!" Eisenhower said: "We have arranged a meeting between General Giraud and General de Gaulle in Morocco, and I would like you to attend!" ”

"Me? Why? Zhang Chi was surprised by this.

"It's not convenient for us to intervene directly, understand?" Eisenhower said: "You are different, you are the general adviser of the French colonial army, and you have the right and responsibility to intervene in this matter!" ”

In this way, Zhang Chi understands that the United States does not want to fall under the pretext of interfering in France's internal affairs, or it may not want to directly conflict with Britain, so it uses Zhang Chi, a third party, to represent the interests of the United States.

Two days later, Zhang Chi and General Giraud flew to Fidara in Casablanca, Morocco.

It was garrisoned by an American force, and the American military requisitioned several villas, whose occupants had moved elsewhere, and which were emptied and fenced off with barbed wire, and were guarded by American soldiers inside and out.

The person who received Zhang Chi and General Ji Luo was a US colonel named Weber, and it was obvious that he had already learned about his mission and relevant information from his superiors, so he just saluted General Ji Luo politely, and then said to Zhang Chi warmly: "It's a pleasure to meet you, General, please allow me to pay tribute to you." Oh, and my men...... They are all looking forward to meeting you! ”

"Thank you!" Zhang Chi replied: "In addition, thank them on my behalf!" ”

"I have a reluctant request!" Colonel Webb said.

"What?" Zhang Chi asked.

Colonel Weber looked at his watch and said, "General de Gaulle may be an hour away, can you say a few words to my men?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied: "I'm very willing!" ”

This was an American enthusiasm, and Zhang Chi believed that it was a spontaneous move by the soldiers, because as guards, they were not allowed to ask the participants to speak to them...... But American GIs have always been undisciplined.

The other, even if he asked to speak, it should be to ask General Giraud to speak, not to relax.

This also made General Giraud's expression a little unnatural.

However, Zhang Chi told him that it was just a chat between ordinary soldiers and not a speech, and General Giraud was quickly relieved.

In fact, this was indeed a chat between soldiers, and the American GIs only surrounded them and did not line up.

He hadn't dealt with American soldiers for a long time, and Zhang Chi would inevitably feel a little cordial, so he stepped forward and shook hands with several American soldiers and said, "Hey, man, are you okay?" ”

"Very well, General!"

"That's good!" Zhang Chi said: "If you tell me that I am in a very bad state, and I am still dizzy last night because I drank too much in the bar, then I should be careful, because my safety is guaranteed by you, isn't it?" ”

"Coax!" The American soldier laughed knowingly.

They can understand the American humor that Zhang Chi said.

"So!" One of the soldiers raised his head at General Giraud on the other side: "The two French generals discussed, yes, the command of the French army, right?" ”

"You can say so!" Zhang Chi replied: "So you are lucky that you participated in a meeting that decided the fate of France!" You can even say ...... You are the ones who have ensured this meeting! ”

"Yes!"

"I can show this to my family!"

……

As said before, this is not a speech at all, but small talk.
