An hour later, de Gaulle's motorcade arrived, also escorted by a convoy of American soldiers, and de Gaulle seemed unhappy about this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So as soon as he walked into the conference room, he said to General Giraud very unceremoniously: "Hey, General Giraud, what's the matter?" I have suggested to you many times that you can meet at a place of your choosing, and why do you want me to come and talk to you in this barbed wire fence among foreigners in China? Considering that this is French territory, don't you think that is a bit hateful from a national point of view? ”

Zhang Chi secretly said that this de Gaulle is indeed not simple, and he occupied the moral high ground as soon as he came up.

General Giraud, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, because he really wanted to rely on the power of the United States.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi took a slight step forward and said: "General de Gaulle, this is Morocco, a former colony of France and not a territory. And it's hard for me to understand how you use the word 'abominable,' God...... Instead of thanking you for helping you liberate Morocco from the Germans, and now doing their best to keep you safe, the General called it 'hateful'...... Do you mean to tell everyone that there will be no need to liberate France in the future? ”

This is where de Gaulle's arrogance lies, and he takes for granted that the territories (colonies) that once belonged to France will always belong to France, even if they have been taken by other countries during the war.

De Gaulle couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhang Chi and asked, "......Who is this?"

"This is General Zhang Chi, a Chinese major general!" General Giraud explained: "At the same time, he is also a military adviser to the Zoaf Corps! ”

"It turned out to be Major General Zhang Chi!" A hint of surprise flashed in de Gaulle's eyes: "I have seen your deeds on many occasions, but I didn't expect to meet you here, and I am very happy to meet you!" ”

"Me too!" Zhang Chi replied politely.

Maybe it's because of Zhang Chi's presence, but the atmosphere that follows is quite harmonious...... So Zhang Chi couldn't imagine that if he hadn't been there, the weak General Giraud wouldn't have known what he would have been fiddled with by de Gaulle.

But this seems normal, as the French people used to describe the Vichy government: "Even if the sheep are given fangs and claws, they will not bite".

General Giraud was originally a member of the Vichy government, and he was accustomed to being soft to his enemies, and would only be ashamed of himself or his allies.

From this point of view, Zhang Chi really didn't want to support someone like General Giraud, but he had to do it.

The reason is simple, a strong, capable French leader is not in the interests of the expeditionary force...... If de Gaulle succeeds, then it will be impossible for him to get more benefits from France.

What made Zhang Chi a little devastated was that General Giraud actually talked about his escape from the Germans, that is, Gogistden, at this time...... Zhang Chi had heard this story no less than a hundred times, and he never thought it was something to boast about, but General Giro talked about it.

"As for the merger of the two armies......" de Gaulle listened to General Giraud's account with great patience, and finally found an opportunity to get to the point.

"General de Gaulle!" General Giraud interrupted de Gaulle: "I am a soldier and I just want to fight...... I don't want to be political, you know? I never listen to anyone explain anything to me, I don't read any newspapers, I don't listen to the radio......"

Not reading the newspaper was obviously a fake, because General Giraud had previously displayed the newspaper in the conference room.

The implicit meaning of General Giraud's words was that he did not want to listen to de Gaulle's so-called national unity and free France, and what he wanted was very direct, that is, to lead his troops to fight and win.

"Oh, good!" De Gaulle replied: "It seems that we have found a common ground again, and it just so happens that I am not talking about any theory and program, I also want to fight......

Saying that, de Gaulle leaned back relaxedly: "We have a common goal, General Giraud, we also have an army in our hands, we can fight back to France faster and better to liberate France, so that we can all live with honor and dignity, the problem is just ...... How should we fight? ”

De Gaulle's words pointed directly to the combined command of the two armies.

General Giraud nodded, he had already prepared.

Of course, this was a preparation at the behest of the American side, and he took a document from his assistant's bag and handed it to de Gaulle, saying: "I suggest that we should fight like this!" ”

It was a proposal for the merger, which proposed that the "Fighting France" and the Government of Algiers form a committee, chaired by General Giraud and General de Gaulle, in which both of them were equal in all respects, as were the other members.

However, General Giraud was to assume supreme military command, and Nogues, Juan, and De Ribaud were to retain their original positions and would also participate in the committee.

De Gaulle flipped through the plan and couldn't help but smile.

It is clear that this plan is completely biased in favor of the Algiers government, and otherwise it seems fair, and the chairman of the committee is jointly held by General Giraud and General de Gaulle, but the fatal thing is that "General Giraud has the supreme command of the military"!

Everyone knows the truth that the gun comes out of power, and if there is no military power in his hands, then what he says still has weight?

"I'm sorry, I don't think you can have all the command!" De Gaulle said: "'Fighting France' is only under my command, and they have many achievements, and they are convinced that under my leadership they can achieve final victory!" ”

"We have the big port to win!" Not to be outdone, General Giraud was not to be outdone.

"It was just a win!" De Gaulle replied: "And your previous performance ...... It is really disturbing that I and my men, all the members of the 'Fighting France', and even all the French who worship freedom, will not be comfortable handing over the command to you! ”

De Gaulle: This is to represent all the French.

But General Giraud was still frightened, because the French people were indeed very dissatisfied with the Vichy government, and the Vichy government had a headache with the demonstrations that had been carried out again and again, so General Giraud obviously did not possess public opinion.

"May I emphasize that?" Zhang Chi said.

"Please!" De Gaulle, although somewhat reluctant, showed his bearing.

"I just want to know ......," Zhang Chi said, "In the future, after the two armies merge, who will supply the supplies and equipment?" ”
