"Major General, where are you?" When Zhang Chi contacted the Allied command, Eisenhower asked suspiciously: "Why did the Germans attack us in a frenzy?" ”

Eisenhower thought that Zhang Chi and Cook were in Caen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If that were the case, the Germans should have attacked Caen with all their might...... This was what Eisenhower had hoped for, and if the Germans attacked Caen, the Allies would have bought more time, as long as the Allies held out for another day and a half...... When the storm is over, then all the problems will be solved.

However, what puzzled Eisenhower was that the German offensive against the Allies did not weaken, but won wave after wave, and the Allies suffered heavy losses and could not hold on.

"We're in Rouen!" Zhang Chi replied.

"I know you're in Lu...... What the? When Eisenhower reacted, he exclaimed: "Why are you in Rouen? Isn't it supposed to be in Caen?! ”

"Because of the emptiness within the Germans!" Zhang Chi replied: "All their troops are stationed along the coast!" ”

"Your purpose is ......" Like all Americans, Eisenhower was good at getting to the point.

"Paris!" Zhang Chi replied: "You know, that is the headquarters of the Germans, if you take Paris...... That would plunge the Germans into a state of commandless confusion, followed by separate battles, panic and retreat! ”

"No, you can't do that?" Eisenhower said.

"Why not?" Zhang Chi asked rhetorically: "I want to know the reason?" ”

"Because ......," said Eisenhower, "it is too dangerous, you have no supplies and no reinforcements, and only one division ......"

Zhang Chi knew that this was just Eisenhower's excuse, as an American who was politically mature enough to only talk about interests, Eisenhower certainly did not care about the life and death of the Chinese army and the Algerian army, and he would even hope that Zhang Chi could share the pressure of the Allies to a greater extent.

This is one of the reasons why Zhang Chi did not stay in Caen...... It should be said that it is safer to stay in Caen, and all Zhang Chi needs is to defeat the invading German Panzer Division, and it is not impossible to fight the German Panzer Division in the town.

On the contrary, if you go deep alone like now, you will be surrounded and annihilated at every turn.

But Zhang Chi would rather take a gamble because he wanted to be a shield for the allies.

Eisenhower did not want Zhang Chi to march into Paris for the same reasons that the Allies did not want Leclerc to march into Paris in history...... Paris is a tempting peach, an immortal feat that can go down in history and even become a "liberator", how could Britain and the United States be willing to let the French, who had not contributed much to the war in peacetime, even the troops were still formed with their help to pick this fruit.

For the same reason, Eisenhower was unwilling to pick the fruit from Zhang Chi...... If the U.S. military liberates Paris, it will establish an image of a liberator for the U.S. military both at home and abroad, and this is in the interests of the United States.

But Zhang Chi knew that Eisenhower would agree, and in fact, this was Zhang Chi's purpose from the beginning...... Straight to Paris with the Zoaf Corps.

"General!" Zhang Chi replied: "If it is dangerous, where are we not dangerous?" Caen? In fact, we have only just passed by the German 12th Panzer Division of the 'Hitler Youth', and if we had stayed in Caen, we would have only been afraid to fight with them! ”

"Or is it Rouen?" Zhang Chi continued: "Of course, Rouen is not a safe place, because the Germans are sending troops to chase and intercept us, we can't stop, as soon as we stop, it's all over!" ”

"You should call back!" Eisenhower said: "Take advantage of the enemy's all-out attack on Normandy, and flank these bitches from behind." And the closer you are to us, the easier it will be for us to send reinforcements. ”

"We can't go back, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "The road was destroyed by us and planted with mines, and the other roads were also guarded by German troops, even if they were impassable...... They've filled the gap, and we're going back to die. So we have only one option, which is to go straight to Paris, and I know that very well! ”

In the last sentence, Zhang Chi is actually clearly telling Eisenhower: I am not a fool, I will be fooled by you. Moreover, this is a matter of life and death for the Chinese army itself and the Zoaf Corps, and it is impossible and no interest will be so great as for Zhang Chi to make a compromise.

Eisenhower obviously understood Zhang Chi's words, he thought about it, and replied: "If that's the case...... We probably won't be able to provide you with reinforcements! Even if the storm passes, it won't work, because it's too dangerous! ”

Eisenhower: This is actually a threat, a naked threat.

Another meaning of this statement is: "If you are disobedient, then there are no supplies and reinforcements, and without the cooperation of the allies, even if you have three heads and six arms, I am afraid that you will not escape the fate of being surrounded and annihilated by the German army!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Think about it, general! What will happen if we take Paris and hold it? ”

After a pause, Zhang Chi continued: "All the German troops stationed along the coast will lose their supply centers, and their backs will be held up by our guns, which will cause the collapse of hundreds of thousands of German troops...... I don't think you'll choose not to reinforce! ”

Zhang Chi hung up the phone as he spoke.

Eisenhower will take care of the rest.

In fact, there is nothing to worry about at all, Eisenhower was a smart man, he knew what Zhang Chi's capture of Paris meant to the German army and the Allies, which almost determined the situation of the Allied victory in France, and the next question was how to reap the fruits of victory.

Therefore, Eisenhower had to cooperate with Zhang Chi's plan...... After all, the liberation of Paris is only a matter of honor and history, but victory is real.

What's more, the Chinese troops and the Zoaf Corps are, in principle, also part of the command units of the US military, and their liberation of Paris is actually the liberation of Paris by the US military.

Thinking of this, Eisenhower had no choice but to give an order to the staff officer: "Let all airborne divisions and transport planes be combat-ready, and the goal is ...... Paris! ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Chi's side, as said before, they have no choice, they must keep moving forward for a moment, otherwise they will be entangled by the enemy, and then more and more.

And this did not seem to be difficult, because Rouen was already in the rear of the German army...... There were a lot of supplies that the Germans had not had time to transport to the front, as well as cars, armored vehicles, and so on.

Zhang Chi's order was: "Use what can be used, bring what can be bringed, and burn all the rest!" ”
