The air in the conference room was oppressive and dreary, and the French officers were silent one by one. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Unthinkable!" Darlang slapped the table fiercely: "We only ordered us to launch an attack, and we suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and if this continues, it won't take a few days for our 200,000 people to be all killed!" ”

General Zhu An didn't speak, just glanced at Zhang Chi.

"Then ......," after a pause, Darlan said, "Tell me, gentlemen, what caused such a great loss?" ”

"General!" General Zhu An replied: "I think everyone knows the reason, it is that General Zhang Chi reminded us of many problems before, but we did not take what he said to heart, we should not have launched an attack on the Marais line......"

"Juan!" Darlang interrupted General Juan: "Now is not the time to discuss this issue!" ”

"No, General!" General Juan replied: "I think now is the time to discuss this issue, because if we don't face these problems squarely, we may suffer such a failure, or even a greater failure!" ”

Everyone was silent, but Zhang Chi still noticed a smile on the corner of General Giraud's mouth.

Zhang Chi understood what this meant, and what could make Dar Lang uncomfortable could make General Giraud happy, and even General Giraud hoped that Dar Lang would continue to "fail" like this until his leadership was questioned.

"Okay!" "So I wondered, is there any way to solve it?" ”

General Zhu An shook his head helplessly: "I can't think of any way!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Zhang Chi and said, "Major General, I don't know if you can give some opinions!" ”

So everyone turned their attention to Zhang Chi.

"Gentlemen!" Zhang Chi replied a little helplessly: "You know, this is a problem of training and morale, and this is not something that can be solved overnight. ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod slightly in agreement.

"Or ......," De Dragbard suggested, "as the Major General said before, we can choose to besiege but not attack!" ”

"No!" Darlang denied: "That is also admitting defeat, which will affect the morale of the troops!" ”

"But we can't attack either!" General Juan replied, "Those Arria soldiers don't want to go back to the battlefield!" They don't think it's a fight that belongs to them, and they shouldn't die for this war! ”

In fact, a considerable number of French officers were reluctant to return to that battlefield because they thought it was a death, a pointless battle.

"Gentlemen!" Darlang said: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of this? ”

"The consequences of not attacking?" General Zhu An was a little puzzled.

"Yes!" "If these Algerian soldiers can not go to war on these grounds, then what are we doing with these troops?" In the face of war, they are not against the enemy, but against us! ”

Hearing this, General Zhu An couldn't help but nodded.

What Darlan said is reasonable, and the crux of it lies in the fact that the French army is a French colonial army, and the Algerian soldiers are led by French officers, which means that there is still a contradiction within the French army: the contradiction between the French and the Algerians.

Now, if the French officers take a step back, the Algerian soldiers will go further, and then they will demand more, which will eventually lead to the French officers being unable to control the army in their hands, and of course, the Algerian independence forces will fan the flames, which may eventually lead to the collapse of the French colonial system in Algeria.

In fact, a large part of the reason why the French colonial system is so fragile is because France itself has surrendered to Germany, which makes all the countries colonized by France believe that France is finished, France is no longer as strong as before and has even declined, so why does France still ride on their heads to make a fortune, so all kinds of independent consciousness will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

"So what do we do now?" De Ribold had a headache and said, "Neither will the attack nor the retreat!" ”

The French army is now having some difficulty riding tigers.

"We must attack!" Darlan said: "And win!" “

The reason for this was obvious: the French army was in dire need of a victory, which would boost the morale of the French army and intimidate the independent forces of the colonies.

But the problem is that they can't win...... The French generals present couldn't help but look at each other, not long ago, they thought that it would only take a few days to easily defeat the Marais line, but they didn't expect things to develop to this point.

"Generals!" At this time, Zhang Chi couldn't help but interject: "As far as I know, the fundamental problem you have now is actually that Algerian soldiers have no motivation to fight, right?" ”

"Yes!" General Juan said, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

"And they want to be independent, right?" Zhang Chi asked again.

"Yes!" General Juan replied: "Not only Algeria, but also Morocco and Tunisia...... Independents have always been a problem for us! ”

"Why don't you work with them?" Zhang Chi said.

"You mean ......"

"Just like the UK!" Zhang Chi explained: "They also have many colonial troops in their hands, and these colonial troops were not willing to fight for the British, but they ...... The British said to them, 'If you defeat the German fascists, then give you independence,' and their armies fought under British command! ”

The officers couldn't help but look at Darlang.

It's not that they didn't think of this plan, it's just that this issue is too sensitive, and it can be related to those independents if they are not careful.

Darlang thought about it, and finally only nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way to do, we have no other choice!" ”

It is true that France has no other choice, and in fact Britain has long known that it has no other choice.

Had World War II not broken out, Britain might have been able to control its many colonies by force with its national strength, military strength, and more advanced technology and armaments.

But after the outbreak of the World War, the German army bombed and besieged Britain, any British colony was able to win its independence on its own or with the help of fascist powers, as in Burma.

Fearing that Burma would be the first domino to fall, the British wisely made an agreement with the British colonial powers and turned the troops who were supposed to be enemies of Britain into comrades-in-arms.

From this point of view, Britain is still very sensible.

Now it's just France's turn to face this problem.
