In addition to military preparations, Eisenhower made a phone call to Alexander. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's time for Paris to prepare!" Eisenhower said.

"What?" Alexander couldn't help but be stunned: "But our troops are now in Normandy!" ”

"The Chinese troops and the Algerian troops are about to arrive in Paris!" Eisenhower replied.

"But ......," said Alexander, "why them?" ”

It is no wonder that Alexander was a little reluctant, the so-called "preparations in Paris" refers to the use of British influence and the influence of "fighting France" to get in touch with underground organizations, guerrillas, etc., in Paris, and even provide them with weapons and support in various ways, if these preparations are used now...... Isn't that a wedding dress for the Chinese troops and the Algerian troops?!

"Do we have any other options?" Eisenhower said: "Look at the current situation! We have to win first! ”

Alexander couldn't help but be silent.

Sensing Alexander's displeasure, Eisenhower continued: "Please, General! Even if you don't use Paris's preparations, the Chinese troops will still capture Paris, but the casualties will be greater, and then what do you think others will think of you? Internal disagreements leading to desynchronization? And what do you think the French partisans and underground organizations will think? Why did the Allied forces have already captured Paris, but the signal to them has not been given? ”

Alexander had to admit that what Eisenhower said was right, and even ...... The guerrillas and underground organizations were not at all units that would resolutely carry out British orders, and they were likely to abandon the British when they saw an Allied attack on Paris.

After thinking about it, Alexander replied with great reluctance: "Well, I'll send the signal!" ”

As a result, on French television and radio, there were soon vague signals: "The oranges are ripe, it's time to harvest!" ”

The one who had the greatest opinion on this matter was Charles de Gaulle, because before that he had devoted a lot of energy to the "preparations of Paris", but now he had to cooperate with his "opponents" to pick the fruits instead of reaping the fruits......

So after hearing this, de Gaulle immediately protested to Alexander.

But where would Britain bother with the idea of a puppet regime like Charles de Gaulle...... In the face of British and American interests, de Gaulle's interests did not even count as onions, so de Gaulle did not even meet Alexander.

At the same time, Rundstedt's side, after receiving a warning from Rommel, was actively stationed in Paris.

"The situation is not as dire as Rommel imagined!" Looking at the map, Rundstedt said: "The enemy has only one regiment and one division, and although we have only two regiments in Paris, there will be reinforcements in three hours, and in ten hours there will be two divisions, and in a day more reinforcements from Calais will arrive...... Defending Paris shouldn't be a problem! ”

"Yes!" The staff officer replied: "So, I don't understand why Rommel would let us retreat!" ”

Another staff officer jokingly said: "He must have been frightened by the Chinese!" ”

There was a burst of laughter from the command, but the laughter soon fell silent, for Rundstedt had no smile on his face.

"Generals!" Rundstedt said: "It's time to put away your arrogance, because it turns out that Rommel was right in his previous predictions, so this time, it is likely that he is still right." So, you're either going to brace yourself and defend seriously, or you're ready to retreat, you know? ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

At this time, a correspondent sent a telegram to Rundstedt, and Rundstedt saw that it was from Hitler.

After carefully reading the message, Rundstedt couldn't help but be stunned: "If I can't occupy Paris, then no one else will think about it, so ...... If you can't hold it, you'll have to plunge Paris into explosions and fire, and you'll have to make sure that the enemy will end up in ruins! ”

Rundstedt couldn't help but look at the Eiffel Tower in front of him, fighting the enemy is one thing, but blowing up this beautiful city...... Rundstedt hesitated.

Rouen was only 140 kilometers from Paris, and the expeditionary force marched at 30 kilometers per hour, and five hours later the Eiffel Tower appeared in the circle of telescopes, while the German troops in Paris were even busy mobilizing their troops.

"I thought they were going to run away!" "But they're obviously waiting for us!" ”

Zhang Chi smiled, put away the binoculars, and then ordered: "Attack immediately!" ”

"Shouldn't we surround them?" Kukyi was a little surprised: "You must know that there are probably more German generals than soldiers there!" ”

Although Cook's words are exaggerated, they are not unreasonable...... Paris is the political and economic center of France, and after the German army entered France, generals and dignitaries did everything possible to squeeze into Paris, so it is not difficult to imagine that if Paris is surrounded, it will catch big fish.

But Zhang Chi gave up on this tempting idea.

"It doesn't mean much to us to capture those generals!" Zhang Chi said: "They are just corrupt people who have squeezed into Paris for pleasure, and if the capture of Paris is delayed for their sake, it is very likely that they will be delayed until their reinforcements arrive one after another, and then we will be in trouble!" ”

Cook nodded, and then quickly gave the order to attack.

The bombardment of Paris then began to fire, and then the soldiers of the Zoaf Corps drove a dozen tanks and armored vehicles captured from the Germans, and led the soldiers slowly towards Paris.

German soldiers were waiting in pillboxes and trenches.

But what they don't know is that the greater threat to them is not actually coming from the present, but from the rear, that is, Paris.

The moment the siege artillery sounded, the Paris uprising broke out.

The interior of Paris instantly became a battlefield, and the streets were filled with the sound of fighting at the first moment...... The French underground had been preparing for this for a long time, so the fighting raged almost from the start.

The guerrillas attacked German sentinels, supply teams, warehouses, and so on, and the German army in Paris soon fell into disarray.

The German soldiers, who were still in the trenches and ready to resist to the end, couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the gunfire coming from behind them.

They were all people who had fought on the battlefield and had a lot of experience in the war, so they all knew what was going on at this time, and they knew that they couldn't win the war.
