"Scheduled to cancel?" Zhang Chi called back: "No, I think the plan should go on as usual!" ”

"You're crazy!" Montgomery replied: "General Juan has been arrested, we have no chance!" ”

"There's no chance to cancel the plan!" Zhang Chi insisted: "But now I think there is still a chance!" ”

"I don't agree with you doing this!" Montgomery replied: "I order you, in the name of the commander of the Eighth Army, to cancel this operation!" ”

Zhang Chi stopped calling back, although he knew that Montgomery's intentions were good, because he thought that continuing to carry out the plan would be a death sentence...... But Zhang Chi doesn't think so. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is also the difference between Zhang Chi and Montgomery's personality, Montgomery is cautious, he always hopes that the battle can develop according to his ideas, and if there is an accident, he will immediately make a "self-preservation" reaction.

But Zhang Chi knows that the battlefield has always been a place full of variables, and the risk and the return themselves are directly proportional, and there is no risk at all but a great benefit...... It's more likely to be a trap.

"What do we do now?" Staff Officer Liang asked.

Zhang Chi still said the same sentence: "According to the original plan!" ”

Staff Officer Liang couldn't help frowning: "Occupy Dali Airport? ”

"Yes!"

"Will the enemy be prepared?"

Zhang Chi looked at his watch, there was still an hour before the airborne, and then he replied: "General Zhu An's arrest does not necessarily mean that they will know about our plan immediately, and even I believe it...... General Juan will do his best to cover up or delay the time when the plan is exposed! Because this is their chance to turn defeat into victory, the only chance! And General Juan's arrest will also have an impact on their army......"

Zhang Chi was right, because at this time, Darlang was also worried about this problem.

Dar Lang had only one hour to go, and in that hour, he had to know the battle plan of General Juan and the Allied forces, or where the Allied forces would land and what to attack...... Otherwise, Algeria is so big that any point could be the target of the enemy, and he has no way to defend against it.

This is also the reason why Darlan asked to bring General Juan and Murphy to him...... Darlan knew that torture would not make much of a difference, and that General Juan and Murphy were not stupid, and they knew that it only took an hour to hold out and the situation might be completely reversed.

It was General Juan who was brought to Darlan, and as for Murphy, Darlang handed it over to his men for interrogation...... This was to prevent them from colluding with each other, and to confirm the accuracy of the information that General Juan might have provided.

"So!" Dar Lang said to the disarmed General Juan with a blank face: "You have negotiated with the British? ”

"No, it's the Americans!" General Juan made contact with the American side.

Darlan couldn't help but stand up abruptly and said angrily: "I have known for a long time that the British are stupid, but I have always thought that the Americans are a little smarter than the British. Now I begin to think that the Americans make no less mistakes than the British! ”

"General!" General Juan retorted: "Then you can tell me, where is their stupidity? Do you mean that surrendering to Germany and disarming like France and reaching the so-called 'armistice' is the smart thing to do? ”

"General Juan!" Darlan slapped the table hard and replied: "Don't think that you are the only one planning for France, there are many things, on the surface it seems to be fighting for freedom for France, but in turn it will harm France!" Have you ever wondered how France and the French people will be treated if you make such a big move in Africa, that is, in the colonies?! ”

Hearing this, General Zhu An couldn't help but be stunned, he really hadn't thought about this.

"Tell you about your plans!" Darlang grabbed General Juan by the collar: "Think about France!" ”

General Juan hesitated, and then replied: "No, General, I think it is for the sake of France, and I think we should cooperate with the Allies to break free France from the clutches of Germany, and not continue like this!" ”

"Stupid!" Darlang pushed General Juan aside fiercely.

There was a dramatic scene at this moment, with both Darlan and Juan claiming to be for France, but in very different ways.

Regardless of which of them is right or wrong, Darlan really has the intention of defending France, but he is a very cunning person, hoping to maneuver between Britain, the United States, Germany, the Soviet Union and other major powers, and finally achieve the goal of preserving French interests as much as possible.

In short, Darlang just hopes to preserve his strength in the cracks, and to put it mildly, he is to be a wall grass that is poured on both sides.

"Wall grass" may be a derogatory term for individuals or groups, but it is even more of a "positive word" for a country that "only talks about interests".

But now, General Juan's approach has upset the balance that Darlang has worked so hard to maintain, and what Darlang thinks about at this time is to find a way to correct it.

Darlang knew General Juan very well, so he knew that General Juan would not give in, so he ordered: "Send troops to control the airport immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The staff officer responded, and then he was stunned: "General, which airport?" ”

"Every airport!" Darlan shouted almost with a roar.

Darlan knew that the first step of the enemy's airborne landing must be to control an airfield as a base first, because this would allow the airborne troops to "advance and retreat and defend", that is, in case they could not be defeated, they could also retreat by transport planes, and at the same time they could also accept reinforcements and supplies from the British direction.

However, Darlan did not know which airfield the Allies were targeting, so he could only grasp the size of the airfield.

In parallel with these efforts, Darlan quickly dispatched separate police forces to arrest or control those in power in Algeria, especially in Algiers...... Darlang didn't want to have Neiying in the city to support the enemy airborne troops when they landed.

However, because it was not known which of them was suspected, Darlan could only control them all, and the side effect of this was that Algiers was in chaos, and many army commanders were left uncommanded because they had lost their command.

Darlan was anxious about this situation, because this was the time when he needed his troops to resist the impending Allied airlift, but the troops were scattered...... However, Darlang did not dare to use these troops lightly, because he feared that the situation would not only not improve but worsen the situation.

This is what Zhang Chi said, "It will have an impact on the army."

So, this is the opportunity for the new division!
