If there was any result of this meeting between de Gaulle and General Giraud, it was that as soon as General Giraud got off the plane, he announced to the crowd that he had agreed to release his command to the Algerian soldiers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But there are three conditions:

The first condition was the release of command of the Third Army, and the decision on whether or not the other forces were to be released was to be decided by the Algiersian government, that is, the French, and the Algerian officers were not allowed to have any objections.

General Giraud was worried that the situation would get out of control after letting go of an army, and other Algerian soldiers were also ready to move.

The second condition was that the Third Army would have a French officer as adviser and would have supervisory and decision-making powers.

From this point of view, the structure of the Zoaf Corps is still a change of soup, and it can even be said that if the decision-making power is in the hands of the French army advisers, it will basically not change, but the official position has changed.

However, General Giraud soon discovered that his system of diversion did not work at all, as the so-called "decision-making power" of the French officers would soon be lost in battle...... Most of the officers of the French army had backward combat thinking, and they were often unable to make decisions on the battlefield, so they naturally lost power.

The third condition is that the Government of Algiers has the power to reinstate the system if it is not satisfied with it.

This condition was a foreshadowing for the regaining control of the Zoaf Corps in the future, because the so-called "satisfaction" or "dissatisfaction" was entirely up to the French, and then they only had to find an excuse to pick a thorn...... Then you can come up with this treaty and talk about things.

Although these conditions were very harsh, the Zoaf Corps, represented by Kukyi, agreed without thinking about it...... Kukyi and the others are not fools, of course they know that no matter how harsh the conditions are, it is still a step towards autonomy and independence, and it is still a big progress.

As for the future, let's worry about it.

For this, of course, Cook thanked Zhang Chi in every way.

"General!" "I don't know how you persuaded General Giraud, but ...... Thank you so much! Thank you for everything you have won for us...... I can't even believe that the French would actually do it! ”

"Don't take it too seriously!" Zhang Chi replied: "Actually, I can understand your feelings, and I don't like these French people either...... Just as they colonized your country, they colonized ours! ”

"The French have also taken your land?" Cook's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Of course!" Zhang Chi nodded: "Not only France, but also the United Kingdom, the United States, ......."

Zhang Chi was talking about the concessions of Britain, the United States, France and other countries in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

"If the country is weak, it is destined to be bullied by others, isn't it?" Zhang Chi said: "That's why we have to be self-reliant!" ”

"Yes, that's right!" Cook nodded movingly.

Although he didn't dare to say too much, at this time, he obviously completely regarded Zhang Chi as a comrade-in-arms on the same front.

Soon, the reorganization and training of the Third Army began.

Because they were independent in command, the Algerian soldiers faced the training with a completely different mentality and enthusiasm.

In addition, the Zoaf Corps has a considerable degree of military foundation, and there is no need to worry about the United States in terms of supplies, especially the guidance of Chinese advisers, which makes the training go very smoothly.

The only thing that gave Zhang Chi a headache was that the soldiers of the Zoaf Corps were not very good at fighting bayonets.

This was a bad habit developed under the "teaching" of the French army, and many French people thought that by the time of World War II, bayonet fighting had lost its effect on the battlefield, and that it should have been the world of tanks, artillery, and airplanes, so they did not care about stabbing training at all...... The French officers were more interested in teaching the soldiers how to build fortifications than in stabbing them.

If the troops were fighting according to the strategic thinking of the French army, it might not be a problem, and the defense line would not be of much use if the artillery and bayonets were fighting.

But as I said before, because the Zoaf Corps has no air power and no tanks, it must choose the Japanese army's hand-to-hand tactics, and the hand-to-hand tactics have high requirements for hand-to-hand combat.

However, the problem was quickly resolved.

The cause of the solution was still accidental, that day Zhang Chi went to the barracks of the Third Army on a whim to check the training situation, and found that a group of soldiers of the Zoaf Corps who were resting were forming a circle, cheering one after another......

Out of curiosity, Zhang Chi leaned over to see what they were doing.

I saw two Zoaf soldiers swinging and slashing each other with wooden sticks, and their movements and footwork were very skillful, and they were only a little dazzled by Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but ask Ku Keyi in surprise: "What kind of sport is this?" ”

"Swordsmanship!" Cook replied: "They are using sticks as swords!" ”

"Swordsmanship?" Zhang Chi looked at Ku Keyi as if he was looking at an alien: "You mean to say that you usually use swordsmanship as entertainment?" ”

"Yes!" Cook nodded: "Isn't this normal?" You don't? ”

"But you told me you don't know how to fight bayonets!"

"We really don't know how to fight bayonets!" Kukyi replied: "Being able to do swordsmanship doesn't mean being able to fight bayonets, does it?" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but almost faint...... Fighting bayonets is for hand-to-hand combat, and if you can't fight bayonets, can't you replace them with swordsmanship?

Later, Zhang Chi learned that this was the custom of the Arab nation in this era, and the regular one should be the use of Arab scimitars, but many people were too poor to afford decent scimitars, and in addition, it was also for the convenience of practice, so they used wooden sticks instead.

In fact, this is also to blame Zhang Chi for being lonely and unheard, you must know that the Turkish brigade that once appeared on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea is characterized by the fact that each person carries an Arab scimitar on his waist, and these scimitars have caused a lot of trouble to the volunteers who are good at close combat in close combat.

So Zhang Chi did not hesitate at all, and immediately suggested that General Giraud equip each of the Third Army with an Arab scimitar.

In this regard, General Giro also asked suspiciously: "What is the use of a scimitar?" Do you still want to go to war with a knife now? ”

"It will work, General!" Zhang Chi said: "Let's wait and see!" ”

"Okay!" General Giraud's face was full of suspicion.

At this time, he even felt that this Chinese major general was a little weird and stupid, but since he had already handed over the Third Army to him for training, let him go, and it was not a big deal.

So General Giraud agreed, with a stroke of his pen.

Although this is not a big deal in the eyes of General Giraud, it is tens of thousands of high-quality Arab sabers.
