Upon questioning, Churchill found that Montgomery had a deep prejudice against the Chinese army, and Montgomery even wanted to kick the Chinese army out of North Africa. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

So Churchill got in touch with Montgomery.

"General!" Churchill said: "I heard that you have some problems with General Zhang Chi of the Chinese army? ”

"Yes!" Montgomery replied: "Although he was victorious in the battle, I could not tolerate him repeatedly disobeying the orders of his superiors and even turning his guns on his own people!" ”

"Oh? Aim your guns at your own people? ”

"Yes!" Montgomery replied, "He turned his gun on Colonel Jon in Maherama, and even threatened to fight the fifth battalion of Maherama!" ”

"Is there such a thing?" When Churchill received the telegram, he asked his assistant.

The assistant took the telegram and looked at it, then nodded: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing." But ......"

"But what?" Churchill asked.

"But at that time, Jon hoped that the Chinese army would obey his command!"

Churchill couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, took the telegram and looked at it, and said, "Jon is a colonel, isn't he?" You mean...... A colonel commanding a major general? ”

"Yes!" The assistant replied: "That's why the Chinese army seized command by force!" ”

"Hmm!" Churchill nodded: "I understand!" ”

Then he unceremoniously telegraphed Montgomery back, "General, I want to know what you do to Colonel Jon?" ”

"What?" Montgomery was a little confused.

Churchill said: "If General Zhang Chi does not obey your orders, then what is Jon, as a colonel, who does not obey General Zhang Chi's orders, and even wants to command the entire Chinese army?" ”

Montgomery was speechless.

Churchill went on to say: "If it were me, I would have shot Colonel Jon in that situation, is that what this is called 'pointing a gun at one's own people'?" So your accusation against General Zhang Chi is not established, is it? I even have to say that he did a good job! ”

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Montgomery replied, "I will punish Colonel Jon, but General Zhang Chi's disobedience to orders cannot be condoned either!" ”

"General!" Churchill replied: "I don't know if you realize that Rommel was also a general who repeatedly disobeyed orders, and he disobeyed the orders of two prime ministers!" ”

Churchill said this is the truth, Rommel repeatedly disobeyed the orders of Hitler and Mussolini, because both of them were frightened by Rommel's victory, they were not even ready to attack, originally thought that Rommel was just a drill, but Rommel suddenly pushed the front forward by hundreds of kilometers.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Montgomery replied: "But that's the Germans!" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's the British or the German!" Churchill replied: "It's all on the battlefield, it's all about winning." So you're going to prove that other people's sarcastic words about me are true, right? The other Rommel is in our army, but you want to kick him out of our army! ”

Seeing this, Montgomery realized that he could not achieve his wish, and Churchill would rather kick himself out than kick Zhang Chi away, just as he would unreservedly praise Rommel as a military genius in Congress.

Sure enough, after a while, Montgomery received another telegram from Churchill: "So, not only can you not kick him out, but you must take him to Port Said and take direct part in the command of the Eighth Army, understand?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Montgomery replied helplessly.

Hence the order for the Chinese army to rush to Port Said overnight...... In fact, there is no need to rush to Port Said overnight, the German army with great vitality cannot launch an attack in a short time, and there is not much difference between a day later and an early day, this is just that Montgomery wants to toss Zhang Chi and the Chinese army in his heart.

When the troops were marching out, Zhang Chi only hurriedly asked the guards to bring a message to Page. Zhang Chi couldn't even say where to go...... This is the discipline of the troops, and only a few officers know about the destination, and in fact, no information is allowed to be disclosed to outsiders.

Zhang Chi guessed, Paige was only afraid that he would scold again: "Fuck the war!" "That's it.

What made Zhang Chi arrive was relieved that this time the Chinese army had changed its shotguns again, tanks, artillery, armored vehicles, and automobiles...... The new 1st Division has become a veritable mechanized unit, the disadvantage is that the number of tanks is not enough...... The old tanks of the British army were not looked down upon, and the "Sherman" tanks were not enough even for the British themselves, so they could only be temporarily settled.

This can be said to be the benefit of a victory, how to take the equipment of Maherama with the expeditionary force, and there is no reason to spit out the equipment after taking it...... Which army has the ability and the courage will come to the expeditionary force to grab it!

After an overnight journey, I rested for a few hours in the early hours of the morning, and then resumed my journey at dawn, and returned to Port Said in the afternoon.

However, it is clear that the British troops stationed in Port Said did not know that the Chinese troops were coming, as can be heard from what they asked:

"God, you are Chinese?!"

"Is it really the Chinese army, it is said that you defeated the armored division of the Germans, is it true?"

"You have returned from the triumph of Maherama? It's so unfair, they should at least have a welcome ceremony! ”

……

As for why there was no welcome ceremony, ask Montgomery.

The army was still stationed in the barracks a few miles away from Port Said, but because the equipment was much more than before, tanks and armored vehicles could only be arranged outside the barracks.

Zhang Chi didn't wait for the barracks to be set up, so he rushed straight to the headquarters of the Eighth Army with Abner and a few guards without stopping.

"General!" When Zhang Chi stepped out of the car, Ramsden greeted him and shook Zhang Chi's hand and said, "Congratulations, you fought a good fight!" ”

"Thank you!" Zhang Chi and Ramsden walked side by side to the headquarters, and then asked casually: "So, why are you in such a hurry to let us rush back?" ”

"Or ...... Let General Montgomery tell you! Ramsden said.

Then Ramsden lowered his voice and said: "General, General Montgomery is angry, I hope you can ......"

Zhang Chi just smiled, if you want to say a temper, who doesn't have a temper. Now is the time for the British army to ask for help, and Zhang Chi does not think that he needs to accommodate Montgomery.
