Chapter 903: Abandonment

Recommend my friend East China's book, "The Third Reich" fights bloodily, defends the country, swears to defend to the death, and casts the soul of the army with pride!

***********

Zhang Chi found Eisenhower at the first time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Before that, Zhang Chi didn't care about this battle...... Although the Normandy landings were an important battle for the Allies, and it can even be said to be a sign that the Allies were really engaged in a large-scale anti-fascist campaign, until then small fights did not play much role in fighting the German army.

The Normandy landings were a turning point, and from then on, the Allies, including the British, abandoned their previous state of grinding and entered the battle and officially launched a major counteroffensive.

However, Zhang Chi knew that there was almost no suspense in this battle...... Historically, the Allies have done a good job in this battle, such as creating a British officer who died in a plane crash to deceive the Germans, of course, this "British officer" was a corpse, and he was carrying a document that indicated that the Allies would land in Calais. For this reason, the British intelligence agencies also carefully fabricated a whole set of lies, such as the identity and resume of the British officer, and even arranged a real fiancΓ©e and a funeral for him...... The perfection of what was done deceived the German intelligence officers and convinced them of the imminent Allied landing in Calais.

In another example, the Allies also arranged for an actor who looked like Montgomery to go for a ride in Sicily in the guise of Montgomery.

This is to disguise the timing of the landing...... The Germans still had many spies in Sicily, and they took it for granted that Montgomery was in Sicily, so the Allies would definitely not have landed in the near future, otherwise Montgomery would have trained and organized troops in Britain and would not have been here.

To be honest, these tricks and details sometimes make Zhang Chi, as a modern person, feel admired.

This is also the main reason why Zhang Chi does not care about this battle...... If these British and American officers can do all of this well, they naturally don't need to worry about it.

However, what Zhang Chi didn't expect was that things were not as smooth as he imagined.

"General!" When Zhang Chi saw Eisenhower, he asked, "I want to know the mission of the Zoaf Corps!" ”

Eisenhower raised his head from the map, looked at Zhang Chi and asked, "Major General, do you want me to give the Zoaf Corps an important task, or a secondary mission?" ”

"Maybe you're busy, but it's important for the Algiers government!" Zhang Chi replied: "The 'Fighting France' are already using this campaign to expand their influence, and they also have the help of the British. We have no choice, we need an important task! ”

"Sorry, Major General!" Eisenhower shook his head: "We can't do this, please believe it, this is not a doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Zoaf Corps, in fact I think that many of the troops that launched the first batch are inferior to the Zoaf Corps, but we can only put the Zoaf Corps in the second or even the third batch!" ”

Although this was expected by Zhang Chi, he was still a little disappointed when he heard this answer.

However, Zhang Chi can also understand this, because Zhang Chi knows that this is the first battle after the United States seizes command, and it is also a decisive battle with millions of people, and they must be careful, careful and careful, and no mistakes are allowed in any link.

And the Zoaf Corps ...... Although their combat effectiveness is good, at least they are still troops with combat experience and repeated combat exploits, but the problem is that it is difficult for them to coordinate with the US military.

Sure enough, Eisenhower then handed Zhang Chi a document and said: "This is the first batch of troops we have selected to attack, among which the US 4th Division is a unit that has never been on the battlefield, and we don't know what unexpected situations it will have on the battlefield, but in the end we decided to send it to the battlefield...... Because it is an American unit, we will try to use American troops in the first and second batches, and if we use the Zoaf Corps, then there will be Americans, French, Algerians in our troops...... This can cause us a lot of trouble! ”

Zhang Chi nodded in agreement, although this can be solved with a translator, but what if a cannonball kills the translator?!

"Then the Algiers government ......"

"We don't have time to care about the Algiers government right now!" Eisenhower replied.

Indeed, compared to the Normandy landings, the Algiers government is simply a watermelon comparison, and it is impossible for the United States to throw away a watermelon for the sake of a Zhizhi.

"Besides......" After a pause, Eisenhower continued, "I have two more bad news for you, one is the Allies, or perhaps the British...... They intend to use radio, radio, etc., so that de Gaulle calls on the French underground to organize and fight with us! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, he knew what it meant, this was almost to make de Gaulle the spokesman of the Allied forces, so the French people or underground organizations would be included in de Gaulle's command, and then the Algiers government would be completely marginalized.

"What about the other bad news?" Zhang Chi asked.

"'Battle France' is in the first batch of attacking teams!" Eisenhower said: "You know, this is an arrangement of the British, and I have no right to interfere, and Montgomery thinks that this will better arouse the determination and will of the French people and the underground to rebel against the Germans!" ”

Zhang Chi's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom.

The government of Algiers did not make it to the first, not even the second, but the "Fighting France" rushed to the front and landed in France...... Well, what will happen next is needless to say.

"So...... Zhang Chi asked Eisenhower: "Is the United States abandoning the Algiers government?" ”

"No, no, of course we won't give up!" Eisenhower shrugged his shoulders and replied, "We're just ...... Just didn't have time to think about it, sorry! I know you've single-handedly trained the Zoaf Corps, but that's the only choice we can make! ”

Zhang Chi didn't say anything, because he knew that it was pointless to say more...... In the face of national interests, there is no possibility of accommodation.

After returning to the headquarters of the Zoaf Corps, Zhang Chi relayed these words to General Giro.

General Giro couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this: "What? How can they do that? You know, I organize this government according to their will, and I listen to them for everything...... How could they just give me up like that?! ”

After thinking about it, General Giraud stood up and said, "No, no, I'm going to see General Eisenhower!" ”

"General!" Zhang Chi stopped: "Even if you see General Eisenhower, you won't be able to change anything, you know!" ”

"But......" General Giraud sighed and sat back in his chair.
