Three o'clock in the morning, light rain.

This is unusual during the dry season in Tripoli, which is said to be the result of the passage of cold currents along the coast.

Although the light rain will cause some trouble for the airborne, it will also serve as a cover to make it more difficult for the French army to identify friend and foe, so it is not clear whether it is good or bad.

As General Slain gave the order, the troops boarded the Caproni transport plane roughly in platoons, and after taxiing some distance on the runway, the transport plane took off into the air with a noisy engine sound.

Once the plane had stabilized, Werner took off the saucer helmet on his head and said: "I remember the instructor told us that we can't wear such a helmet when skydiving!" ”

"That's right!" Dominic replied: "It could have cost us our lives, and they seem to have overlooked the fact that the helmets of British paratroopers also have no brim!" ”

"No!" Qin Chuan said: "It's not that they ignore this, it's that they can't find so many British paratrooper helmets!" ”

"So we're going to skydive with this thing?" Werner raised his saucer helmet.

"Come on, Sergeant!" The baker said, "We are disguised as British, only the French will not recognize us!" ”

"We may choose to do that!" "Strap your helmet to your backpack before skydiving and put it back on after landing," Dominic said. ”

The German soldiers couldn't help nodding their heads, and the backpack was hung on an umbrella to land first, which would obviously improve the safety of the landing.

Two hours later, the transport plane flew over Algiers...... As the capital of Algeria, the reaction was a little too quiet.

After all, in any case, a large number of transport planes and warplanes penetrated more than 200 kilometers into Algerian territory, and even if the French colonial army did not have radar, they would be prepared for the warnings of civilians or border troops.

Or rather, the French army simply did not want to prepare.

The next facts proved that Qin Chuan's guess was correct, and the news spread by the German conspirators in Algiers had played a role, so much so that the French officers and soldiers thought that these planes flying over Algeria were British planes...... During this time, they also used searchlights to shine into the sky, and chose to remain silent after seeing the British army icon on the plane.

Most of the rank and file officers of the French army sided with the Allies, even though they hated the British. As a result, Algiers has not been informed of the invasion of organic colonies.

Algiers was not at peace, either, as General César, who was in power and wanted to join the Allies, was planning a mutiny...... He hoped to capture Darlan and force him to order the French to abandon resistance and join the British, and he even set a time with the British.

So, when he heard that the planes of the British had already appeared over Algiers, he couldn't help but curse: "These damned Britons, they always deceive their allies!" ”

"What's in it for them?" The staff officer asked.

"I'm going to ask the damned British!" General Cesar said.

He then hurriedly ordered his men under his control to stay still so as not to clash with the British, and immediately contacted the American ambassador Steve...... It was through Steve that Britain and the United States persuaded General Cesar to surrender.

"What's going on?" General Cesar asked on the phone: "Didn't we set up a move in two days?" ”

"What?" Steve, who had just crawled out of the bed, was a little confused by the question.

"Open the window and look at the sky!" General Cesar said: "There are planes of the British everywhere, and the British have once again deceived us!" ”

Steve walked to the window and exclaimed, "God, what's going on?" when he saw the British icons in the sky under the searchlight. ”

"You liars!" There was a roar from General Cesar on the phone: "I should have known that I couldn't trust you, just like you suddenly attacked our fleet, and now you want to do it again?" Is it just a means to keep me in place? ”

"General Cesar!" Steve hurriedly replied: "Believe me, I don't know anything about these circumstances, and I can guarantee that the American side doesn't know anything about it either......"

"I know it's British!" General Cesar said: "It has always been British!" ”

General Cesar was also suspicious of the "Ballista Project" launched by the British, so he chose to surrender to the United States rather than the British.

"Now, I plead with you, General!" Steve said, "Tell your men not to clash with the British for a while, and I'll get to know the problem and report back to you!" ”

"You'd better hurry!" After General Cesar finished speaking, he hung up the phone angrily.

Steve hung up the phone and immediately sent a telegram to the commander of the US army, Eisenhower, who angrily went to ask Montgomery, and by the time he found out that Britain and the United States had not sent airborne troops at all, it was already twenty minutes later.

Steve couldn't help but be so surprised when he heard the news that his jaw almost dropped, he hurriedly hung up a phone to General Cesar and said, "General, we were fooled, those planes that are not British, they may be German!" ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then he replied, "I already know!" ”

General Cesar knew, of course, for there were already a dozen German-speaking soldiers in British uniforms standing in front of him, and a dozen black muzzles were pointed at him.

Although it was only twenty minutes, it was unprepared, and there were many people leading the way...... Of course, these leaders supported the British army, and it just so happened that the Germans could also write them down one by one, and after leading the way, they were arrested at gunpoint.

Then, General Darrang's residence was also captured.

There was a fierce shootout, and the French were holding on to a villa fenced with iron fences, unceremoniously firing bullets into the outside...... Darlan was an anti-British, or rather he hoped to strike a balance between Germany, Britain and the United States so that France could survive in these troubled times, and he even succeeded in gaining the support of the United States.

This may sound strange: Germany was an enemy of Britain and the United States, but the United States supported the Vichy government under German control...... It's a complicated relationship, and it's a bit confusing.

But in fact, this is normal, Britain wants to control France, so it has installed the government of Charles de Gaulle in exile as a puppet, and the United States does not want Britain to enjoy the fruits of victory in the future...... At this time, the United States was secretly competing with Britain for the position of world leader, so of course it had to support the Vichy government.

This is politics, politics is only about interests, there is no such thing as "justice", and of course there is no "evil".
