General Giraud apparently failed to realize that the position he had achieved in the Algiers Government depended entirely on the support of the United States. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And General Giraud is using the United States on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wants to get rid of the United States...... If it is just a small move, the United States may think that it is invisible, but if it involves fundamental interests, such as even wanting to remove the Chinese army from the Zoaf Corps, it is asking for hardship.

In the afternoon of the same day, Colonel Louis, commander of the US Seventh Air Force stationed in Algiers, issued a document announcing that the Seventh Air Force would be separated from the command of the Algiers Government and would be subject to the command of Major General Zhang Chi of the Chinese army.

This immediately caused an uproar in the Algiers government and even in Algeria as a whole...... For this would almost mean that the Algiers government would lose American air shelter, which would undoubtedly lead to the total annihilation of the Toulon fleet.

No one knows why the Americans are doing this, only General Giraud is clear.

Because that's what you're telling everybody...... The United States has abandoned Algiers, or rather, does not support General Giraud.

When he heard the news, General Giraud's face couldn't help but turn pale, of course he knew what it meant, although he was the commander-in-chief of the army and air force, the air force was the US Air Force, and the military power of the army was in the hands of General Juan.

General Giraud's first reaction was to call Eisenhower: "General, you can't do this, we need the cover of these air forces, Algiers needs them!" ”

"I don't understand, General Giraud!" Eisenhower pretended to be confused: "I didn't order the air force to leave Algiers, they are still at the Algiers air base, aren't they?" ”

"However, you have handed over the command to the Chinese!" General Giraud was furious.

"What's wrong with that?" Eisenhower replied: "There is no doubt about the combat experience of the Chinese army, and I think I don't need to remind you of this, and it can even be said that your victories were achieved under the guidance of the Chinese army." In addition, Rear Admiral Zhang Chi also has experience in commanding air forces and even fleets, and he is outstanding in the coordinated operations of the sea, air, land and air, etc., and you ...... I know from the battle against the Marais Line that you don't have the relevant experience, and with all due respect, I think it's very dangerous to put the American Air Force under your command! ”

"But......" said Admiral Giraud, "it is the French fleet, the French army, and you have put the air force that France needs under the command of the Chinese army......"

"General!" Eisenhower unceremoniously interrupted General Giraud: "I have to remind you that it is the American air force, and it is up to me to decide who I want to give it to command." At the same time, I have to remind you that the Chinese army is our ally, and I have decided this to better defeat the enemy! ”

With that, Eisenhower hung up, leaving General Giraud alone in a daze.

Although General Giraud is short-sighted, he is not stupid, and he quickly figured it out after thinking about it...... This must have something to do with what he said to Zhang Chi, and what he did made the Americans unhappy.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case, and if the US Air Force was under the command of the Chinese army, would it mean that the Chinese army would be driven away along with the US Air Force......

Thinking of this, General Giro didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately dialed Zhang Chi's phone, but it was temporary.

After dialing it a few times, it finally got through.

Zhang Chi explained: "I'm sorry, General. I was on the phone with Air Force Louis, and you know, we need to talk about synergy! ”

"No, Major General!" General Giraud replied, "It's me who should apologize, forget what I said before......"

"What words? I don't understand! Zhang Chi was pretending to be confused.

"You see, I don't know much about the current state of the army!" General Giro said: "Fortunately, General Zhu An reminded me, and he said, how can you let the Chinese army leave? The Zoaf Corps needs them, otherwise the soldiers of the Zoaf Corps will not be able to fight on the battlefield and achieve victory! ”

"That's what happened!" Zhang Chi replied: "I'm sorry, General! I was discussing with my staff about recovering the military advisers from the Zoaf Corps, and I think you're right that the battlefield here doesn't belong to us......"

"No, no, it's not like that!" General Giraud couldn't wait to give himself a mouthful: "Please stay, this is our common war, isn't it?" We should be united! ”

"No, General!" Zhang Chi refused: "I think you need to be smart!" ”

Zhang Chi hung up the phone as he spoke.

Of course, Zhang Chi didn't really refuse, but because he knew that it was time to get benefits from France, and he didn't show some sincerity...... Why let the Chinese army train the Zoaf Corps for the French army?!

Of course, General Giraud had no interest in training the Zoaf Corps, and he was short-sighted enough to know that he could hold the power of the army, as for whether he could win the battle...... It's up to the Allies to worry about it, and the Zoaf Corps is behind to fight soy sauce, and as soon as the war is over, because he has military power in his hands, he can naturally become the supreme leader of France.

The problem is that the current situation has left him with no military power.

Therefore, General Giraud has turned to the United States, and thus to Zhang Chi.

It's just that even Zhang Chi himself doesn't know what he needs, or what he can get from General Giraud.

Equip?

American-style equipment can be said to be whatever Zhang Chi wants, and those shabby equipment in France are not attractive to Zhang Chi at all!

Money?

It should be said that the expeditionary force at this time was no longer short of money, because Okinawa was already producing the strategic special materials needed by the United States in batches, and the resulting wealth was innumerable. At this time, France's financial resources were not even comparable to Okinawa.

I can't think about it, Zhang Chi will no longer bother, or let the people who should be brain-screwing go, and even Zhang Chi has some thoughts...... No matter what benefits General Giraud will give, he doesn't really want to withdraw from the Zoaf Corps anyway, and he just pretends to be impressed at that time.

At the same time, General Giraud was also thinking about the same question, what should be used to retain the Chinese troops?

At this time, General Giraud regretted all his intestines, why did he bother in the first place? How good it is to keep the Chinese army from the beginning, but it is too late to say this, let's think about what means to "bribe" this difficult Chinese major general!
