De Gaulle was completely out of public interest, but Anbos was worried that he wanted to seize the military power of the Nationalist Army. Even though he knew that what he said was correct, he still maintained a high degree of vigilance. It was not long before he sent this good-faith letter. , the naval battle in the Timor Sea was over. De Gaulle heard the news from the radio. At that time, he was enjoying afternoon tea. Suddenly, his assistant heard a "clang". He followed the sound and saw that he was supposed to be The teacup in De Gaulle's hand had already fallen to the ground. He raised his head and saw De Gaulle's expression clearly. He couldn't help but feel anxious and whispered: "General."
The assistant's mind was on a document in front of him, so he didn't hear the voice coming from the radio, so he didn't understand why de Gaulle was so gloomy.
The Pacific Fleet and the Japanese Combined Fleet are cruising in the waters near Australia and may engage in a decisive battle at any time. This information has long been grasped by the top leaders of the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers. Even if it is only from the standpoint of the alliance, they certainly hope that they will The Allies can win. However, just as Admiral Kim, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, described it, the Pacific Fleet is just a super toy of Ouyang Yun, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Whether it is the senior leaders of the Allied Powers or the Axis Powers, Regardless of the senior officials, they all believe that if there is a decisive battle, then the Japanese combined fleet with its profound foundation will definitely win.
The leaders of the governments and military circles of various countries have many reasons for the victory of the Japanese-Japanese Combined Fleet. Three years of army, ten years of air force, and one hundred years of navy. Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge will know such an unwritten rule. Based on this standard, the Japan-Japan Combined Fleet, which has a history of more than a century, and the Pacific Fleet, which was established less than three years ago, are the difference between adults and babies.
"Although I hope that the Pacific Fleet can win from the standpoint of the Allies, the war is cruel, and the ultimate competition is the strength of both sides. The Chinese need to be taught by the French how to even sail in the Indian Ocean. How could they possibly We can beat the veteran Japanese Combined Fleet." This is what de Gaulle once said when he was chatting with his subordinates. In terms of time, it was less than a week since he said such words, and now, the Pacific Fleet has indeed joined forces with Japan. There was a battle between the fleets, but the result was not at all what he imagined.
The relevant reports on the radio continued, and the assistant finally understood the reason for his gaffe, so he couldn't help but sigh softly,
Before World War II, France was one of the most powerful countries in the world. But now, not to mention that the French mainland has fallen. If they want to continue to resist, they can only live in exile overseas. Take the current world war situation as an example, although the French colonial army in North Africa is still The resistance continues, but compared to the United States, China, Soviet Russia, and even the United Kingdom, its importance is almost negligible. His assistants were with De Gaulle when he was in London. It can be said that what De Gaulle experienced, He has experienced it, and it is precisely because of these common experiences that he respects De Gaulle more and more, thinking that he is the best choice to lead France to the final victory. For the restoration of the National Army, De Gaulle once severely offended the Chinese. Now that the Chinese have achieved such a victory, their status among the Allies will definitely be improved. Then, when the United States re-plans the world war situation, it will definitely consider the opinions of the Chinese more. In this way, it will not only restore the The return of the national army to fight against the French system will be far away, and what is even more worrying is that the French issue will inevitably be put to the end... The assistant thought this way, and looked at de Gaulle with eyes full of anxiety and pity.
"This can be considered a victory for us French people, right?" Suddenly, de Gaulle raised his head and said,
The assistant was stunned, unable to turn his mind around, and did not dare to say anything.
"Since China and France are allies, then why can't we seek their help."
These words were completely different from de Gaulle's previous style. The assistant swallowed hard and still did not dare to say a word.
De Gaulle was talking to himself, and he continued: "No matter what, the Chinese won the victory, and that is enough. This world respects the strong. It is conceivable that after this war, the world The pattern will inevitably undergo new changes, the colonial era will inevitably end, the world will usher in a new order, and China's rise in the East is inevitable. Emperor Napoleon once said that China is a sleeping lion. Once she wakes up, the entire world will Everyone would tremble for it. In this case, why not be friendly with her while he is half asleep and half awake? Since the colonial era is destined to end, there will be no conflict of interest between France and China, and now everyone has a common interest. enemy……"
De Gaulle's words contained too much content, and his assistant's thinking could not keep up at all, and he made a complete faux pas.
The current situation between China and France actually has many similarities. For example, the mainland is in a occupied or semi-occupied state, and there is a puppet government supported by the occupying forces in the country; another example is that both sides have troops fighting overseas, and the overseas battlefields are not left behind. In addition, both sides are in the same camp and have the same goal. As de Gaulle said, there is actually no direct conflict of interest between the two countries, but they are truly brothers who share the same suffering. Of course, because of the international status of the two countries before the war, There is no equivalence at all. France is a superior civilized and democratic country, while China is synonymous with barbarism and uncivilization. Therefore, even if both sides have the name of allies, the French still view China through colored glasses, such as on the issue of the Nationalist Army. , the attitude of the French is quite bossy and condescending,
"France is no longer the France of the past, and China is far from the China of the past. Our great cause of national restoration is still far away, but the Chinese have already begun to dominate the Indian Ocean. Since Ambois refuses to let the Restoration Army join the fight against France, Then we will join them."
"General, you can't." The assistant shouted anxiously,
De Gaulle looked at him calmly and asked: "Why not? The Republic of China Army has been able to reach this point. General Amposse has proven his ability."
"But, but, didn't you say that the Nationalist Army was a puppet of the Chinese?"
De Gaulle shook his head: "Jimmy, do you think that with the current strength of the Xuebing Army, they still need puppets like the Restoration Army? I am willing to believe Ouyang Yun's promise. This is actually our only chance to realize the great cause of restoration as soon as possible. Just wait and see, this battle of the century will soon turn into a contest between China and Germany."
"General, the Japanese combined fleet has only lost a small part."
"No, you can't say that, Jimmy, you should enlarge your horizons."
"General,."
"Stop talking, get ready and come with me to Chongqing. When you get to Chongqing, you will understand why I made this decision."
