Chapter 806 Choices

Because of the episode where the attack was made, the talks between Charles de Gaulle and Giro could not continue.

However, Zhang Chi believes that even without this attack, there will be no result in this talk.

From this perspective, the attack planned by the Germans was simply unnecessary.

The two of them looked very harmonious, but to be precise, they were quite friendly. They shook hands and praised each other, and looked a little reluctant. If they were people who didn't know, they thought they were friends who had not been long since said goodbye.

But when General Giro boarded the plane back to Algiers, it was a different look.

"This bastard!" General Giro cursed: "As I guess, he really wanted to annex us all!"

Zhang Chi did not answer, but thought to himself: Isn’t this normal? Giro himself also wanted to annex the “Fighting France”.

"Fortunately, we are holding the supplies in our hands!" General Giro said a little gladly: "Otherwise, I don't know how to deal with this guy today!"

After thinking about it, General Giro said again: "But, today I passed the test successfully, and then..."

It is rare that General Giro has a long-term vision and is actually worried about the future.

However, Zhang Chi also knew that General Giro's concerns were necessary. If this situation continued, the situation of the Algiers government would not be optimistic.

The fundamental reason is that the Algiers government is unpopular. At this time, General Giro basically relied on the support of the Americans. The French, or anyone, can say, would not like a regime cultivated by foreign forces, because this means that the country will become a puppet of foreign forces.

"Major General, what do you think about this matter?" General Giro asked.

"General!" Zhang Chi replied: "In this talk, Charles de Gaulle's words summed up only two points, that is, public opinion... 'Fighting France' can gain the support of French citizens, but the Algiers government is the object of citizens' confrontation!"

"Yes!" General Giro nodded helplessly, and asked, "What about the other point?"

"The other point can actually be said to be an extension of the first point, because it is ultimately a matter of people's hearts." Zhang Chi said: "It's just that he used another way to express the situation, that is, what kind of victory did the Algiers government achieve? It can make the people feel at ease to hand over the regime or command power to the Algiers government'!"

"Yes!" General Giro nodded: "Victory, this is the most important thing. De Gaulle has asserted that a government like ours cannot lead the people to victory. If we do it, it proves that De Gaulle is wrong and can also gain the support of the French people!"

"Yes, this is the key point!" Zhang Chi said: "The rest cannot be changed. For example, Algiers was born from the Vichy government... This is already a fact, but victory can change. We can gain time and time on the battlefield, and thus change the confidence of French citizens in the Algiers government!"

"It's right!" General Giro's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Major General, I really don't know how to thank you. The suggestions you made are exactly what I want!"

"Don't thank me first!" Zhang Chi said: "Because it is not easy to win on the battlefield!"

"I understand!" General Giro smiled and said, "But we have you, right? There is also the Zhong** team as an adviser. I believe that under your guidance, the Zoafu Corps will definitely be invincible on the battlefield!"

This is obviously a compliment to Zhang Chi. Of course, Zhang Chi doesn't take these words seriously. He just stares at General Giro without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" General Giro asked.

"As far as I know, it's not the case, General!" Zhang Chi said: "Do I need to discuss it with you again? As mentioned before, the command of the Zoafu Corps is too bloated, and most of the legal officials have wrong tactical ideas, and these legal officials and Algerian soldiers have deep contradictions... Even if the Chinese team is capable, it will not be able to make such an army win on the battlefield, unless we have an absolute advantage, just like in Bisseda Port!"

Indeed, the victory of Bisseda Port is almost impossible to be regarded as the victory of the Zoaf Corps. It was first a sneak attack when the German army was not prepared enough, followed by a huge cannon bombardment of the French Toulon fleet, and again, the American Airlines team controlled air supremacy.

Among them, especially the American Air Force, its existence made the Zoaf Corps know the movements of the German reinforcements, and there was no more equipment left to use when it arrived at Bisseda Port.

General Giro couldn't help but feel silent, looking ahead without saying anything as if he was alone.

After a long time, General Giro asked, "So, what should we do?"

"You know what to do!" Zhang Chi replied.

"Yes, I know!" General Giro couldn't help but sigh: "You have said that is to let the Algerians command themselves!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.

"But...this is tantamount to supporting their independence!" said General Giro.

This sentence exposed General Giro's ambitions. Although he had reached an agreement with Algeria, he never thought of making Algeria independent.

"This requires you to make a choice, General!" said Zhang Chi.

"If it were you, what would you choose?" General Giro asked.

"Is this more necessary?" Zhang Chi replied: "General, for you personally, if you cannot win, you will not be able to get the public opinion of French citizens, and then you will not get any benefits, and the military power of the Zoafu Corps will not be in your hands in the end... All this is empty!"

But that can't be said, because General Giro was still considering another plan, which was to compromise with De Gaulle, so that he could gain a job in the future De Gaulle government... This was exactly what he did in history.

Of course, Zhang Chi didn't know that General Giro was thinking about these things... Zhang Chi didn't expect General Giro to be so unambitious.

In this regard, General Giro really makes people feel like "can't help but A Dou".

However, if we talk about it in history, General Giro is understandable because he faces many problems.

But now, with Zhang Chi and the Chinese team, the situation can be predicted to be better developed.
