That night, the French held a grand welcome party for the officers and men of the Zoaf Corps, partly to win hearts and minds, and on the other hand, to tell the people of Toulon and all the French about this rare victory, so as to boost morale.

More importantly, the French Navy was demonstrating against the Vichy government and even the Germans...... The French Navy has always been subject to the control of the Vichy government, and there was no problem with Darlan as Commander-in-Chief of the Navy before, because the French Navy can be said to have been formed and revived by Darlan, and Darlan has a high reputation in the French Navy.

Therefore, after the war broke out in North Africa and Darlan was captured, the French navy was eager to send into North Africa to reinforce Algiers...... This is completely feasible militarily, and the number of artillery ships in the navy has reached 80, and it will not take a day to reach Algiers at the speed of warships, and it is very likely to change the situation of the whole of Algiers and save Darlan.

But Petain's government rejected the idea without thinking about it...... Of course, Petain's government would not agree to this approach, and once the navy was put into use, it would mean all-out war, and Petain's government would not be able to save it.

On the other hand, in order to be able to control the navy, Pétain appointed Reival as commander-in-chief of the navy...... Reival was a man who had turned to Germany in an all-round way, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him a traitor, which caused great displeasure in the French navy.

(Note: Historically, Reival ordered the Toulon fleet to surrender to Germany, but the French Navy refused to carry out this order and chose to bomb the ship)

So, in order to show their dissatisfaction, the French navy held a large sorority in Toulon.

Of course, this is also what Zemamouche wants, in fact, in Qin Chuan and Zemamouche's plan, there is a clause to induce the French army to hold a party, and now that the French army has taken the initiative to do so, Zemamouche will also push the boat.

"I suggest that the Navy soldiers come ashore for this gala!" "The Navy guaranteed us a smooth arrival at the port of Toulon, and my soldiers would like to thank them personally!" ”

The French Navy sent several warships to meet the convoy.

How could General Claude know that there was fraud in this, so he agreed without thinking about it.

Of course, there are still soldiers on duty on the warship.

Zemamouche made those soldiers suffer, and it was very thoughtful to let the Algerian soldiers carry boxes of wine and food onto the warship to the French soldiers, and the port of Toulon was brightly lit and full of laughter.

What the French didn't know was that at this time, there was some movement in the transport ships brought by Zemamouche and others...... Several Algerian officers took advantage of the fact that they were not paying attention, removed the layers of wooden boxes stacked outside, opened the lower cabin of the transport ship, and sent a signal with a flashlight inside, and the German soldiers and crew climbed out of it.

This was arranged by Qin Chuan early in the morning, and each of the three large transport ships contained a hundred German soldiers and fifty experienced crew members...... Most of these crew members were Italian, all of them had experience piloting warships, and some of them were even in active duty in the Italian Navy, which Rommel had urgently airlifted from the Italian Navy.

Among them were also German submarine crews...... The Toulon fleet had 21 submarines, which led to a serious shortage of submarine crews that might be needed, so Rommel directly ordered two German submarines to rush to Algiers and free up all the crews to fill them.

Of course, the German soldiers and crews had changed into French uniforms beforehand, so that it was easier to move and as little as possible to avoid being detected by the enemy...... The only deficiency is that these French uniforms were captured in Algiers, so they are army uniforms.

The men cautiously walked up to the deck, lowered the ropes and rubber boats on the other side, and then rowed in groups of rubber boats close to the French warships...... On the other side of these French warships, there was also a rope that hung down, which was laid by the Algerian soldiers during the exchange of feelings with the French soldiers, and there were even two Algerian soldiers at the other end of the rope.

So one by one, the German soldiers and their crews climbed onto the warship.

The most difficult of these is the submarine...... Submarines are a bit like tanks in the sea, and people outside often can't do anything about them unless they blow them up with explosives.

But it is not difficult to say, the German soldiers in French army uniforms jumped on the deck of the submarine generously, waved to the submarine sentry and took out cigarettes and handed them over.

The submarine sentries did not suspect anything, after all, it was a large party, and there were not a few troops from Toulon and other places who had come to join in the fun, so they took the cigarette. He thought that the army was pulling out matches, but he didn't expect the other party to pull out a military thorn, and before he could react, his mouth was already covered, and then a sharp pain came......

The sound of gunfire was heard from one of the submarines, and a clever submarine sentry noticed the anomaly and fired a warning shot.

But the gunshot didn't attract much attention, some thought it was a firework, others thought it was just some soldier drunk playing with a gun.

But when the gunfire became more and more intense, they realized that something was wrong.

"What's going on?" General Claude asked.

"I don't know, General!" The staff officer replied: "Maybe the soldiers are drunk!" ”

"No, General!" Seeing that the time had come, Zemamuche took out his pistol and put it at General Claude's back and said: "I am honored to tell you that you are already our prisoner!" ”

"It's not funny, Colonel!" General Claude thought it was a joke.

"It's not funny!" Zemamouche replied: "Because it's not a joke!" ”

Several French officers noticed that the situation was strange and tried to come over, but they were quickly held up by several Algerian soldiers with guns, and then the gunfire soon rang out, and a group of French soldiers who tried to rush in were knocked down in a pool of blood on the spot.

The venue was in chaos, screams erupted, and the people who had come to the party rushed around, and the French officers and soldiers were shot dead by the Algerian soldiers who had been prepared for it.

Algerian soldiers may still be accustomed to listening to the command of French officers when they are in Algiers, but if Zemamouche is there, of course they will side with Zemamuche, Zemamouche has the advantage of nationality and state, so before arriving at the port of Toulon, Algerian soldiers are no longer under the control of French officers.

"Retreat to the warship!" Zemamouche ordered loudly: "Pay attention to the one who has a white towel tied to his left arm!" ”

With that, Zemamuche dragged General Claude in the direction of the warship, and then General Claude realized that this was really not a joke.
