"Because of the Zoaf Corps!" Zhang Chi said: "The achievements of the Zoaf Corps on the battlefield are obvious to all, in contrast, the French army, which fought with the British Commonwealth Army, has been defeated repeatedly, but General Giraud is still unable to win the battle with the de Gaulle government......

"This should be General Giraud's own problem, Major General!" "We're rooting for a short-sighted careerist, though I'm reluctant to admit it," Eisenhower said. ”

Zhang Chi also understands that General Giro is indeed not a big deal.

"That's just one of the reasons!" Zhang Chi said: "Another point is that 'Fighting France' has three armies: air, navy, and army, while the air force of the Algiers government is almost equal. Maybe they do have an air force, but those fighters are uncombatable waste...... You know, they represent the French government, but how can the Algiers government protect the French people if it can't even defend its own airspace? On the other hand, the Algiers government has always been criticized by Charles de Gaulle and even the French people, calling the Algiers government a puppet of the United States...... The weakness of its air force seems to confirm this, because Algiers even needs the United States Air Force to defend its airspace, how can it be militarily and politically independent? ”

Hearing this, Eisenhower couldn't help but nod, he had to admit that Zhang Chi had a point, and even the American Air Force was stationed in Algiers to control the Algiers government...... Just like last time, General Giraud was disobedient and wanted to drive out the pro-American elements, including the Chinese troops, and the United States forced General Giraud to submit on the grounds of withdrawing the air force.

"Major General!" Eisenhower thought for a moment and said, "I have two questions, one: You know, the U.S. Air Force stationed in Algiers is our important bargaining chip, and if we let the Algiers government have a high-quality air force, will we lose control of the Algiers government?" At that time, if General Giraud makes another move, how will we check and balance? ”

"General!" Zhang Chi replied: "If it was before, I think we were indeed helpless against General Giro, but now...... Do we still need to worry about the fact that the Zoaf Corps is already de facto independent and has a bad impression of the French? ”

Eisenhower couldn't help but let out an "oh", then nodded in agreement.

This is not even a question of the Zoaf Corps alone, but of the fact that it can unleash a storm of independence in Algeria, and the United States is the conspirator who is best at doing this, such as funding an anti-government force in Algeria, ostensibly to fight for independence, but in fact to counterbalance the government apparatus and make it submit to the obscenity of the United States.

And now, if the United States wants to, it even has the ability to rebel against the entire Zoaf Corps, which is the foundation of the Algiers government.

After a pause, Eisenhower asked, "The second question is, why can't we just give them planes, it's easier and there will be no consequences, right?" ”

Although Eisenhower did not say it explicitly, Zhang Chi understood the meaning.

The "aftermath" in this sentence does not refer to the Algiers government, of course, but to the possible consequences of giving the aircraft production line to China.

It is understandable that Zhang Chi should not be mixed with personal feelings when discussing these issues.

"First of all!" Zhang Chi replied: "If you just give them planes, does the general think they will want them?" ”

Eisenhower nodded.

After all, Ji Luo and Zhu An are generals of big countries, and their vision is much stronger than that of small countries or some countries...... In modern times, there are many countries that are controlled by the United States because of their greed for cheapness, and there are many big countries among them.

Giraud and Juan still understand this bit of common sense, so they didn't even want to change their rifles before.

"Secondly!" Zhang Chi continued: "All I asked for was the production line of the 'Wildcat' fighter and the 'Dreadnought' bomber...... These two fighters are already obsolete fighters for the United States, and even if we, France and even Algeria have the ability to produce these fighters, they will not pose any threat to the United States, and the United States will always be able to maintain its technological superiority...... What's more, it's a huge economic benefit for the United States, isn't it? ”

Eisenhower could not deny what Zhang Chi said.

Especially the last few words, "economic interests...... At this time, the United States is having a headache, the "Wildcat" and "Dreadnought" fighters are indeed lagging behind as Zhang Chi said, and it stands to reason that the production of these planes should be stopped, but no one dares to do this, the reason is that this damn war needs it, and there is a great demand.

Therefore, the United States can only watch as more and more of these aircraft are built, but it is foreseeable that once the war is over, all these backward aircraft will have to be decommissioned...... This is obviously a great waste of pens.

But why not pass on this waste to other countries, while at the same time ensuring that it is used on the battlefield to relieve the pressure on the battlefield on the United States?

After thinking for a while, Eisenhower said, "I'm fine, I'll relay your thoughts to Washington, but what will they decide...... I can't guarantee it! ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi nodded.

Of course, this matter was not up to Eisenhower at this time, but Zhang Chi believed that Washington would agree, because it could be said that it would be beneficial to them and would not only help the Algiers government gain greater advantages, but also obtain political, military and economic benefits...... If anything, it is to continue to make the Chinese Expeditionary Force stronger.

Sure enough, when Eisenhower telegraphed Roosevelt about the incident, Roosevelt was inclined to agree with the idea.

Among them were also opposed, and Secretary of the Navy Ernest was one of them.

"Let's not forget the lessons of the Japanese!" "A large part of the Japanese technology and industry grew up with our support, and the machine tools they used to produce aircraft engines even came from the United States, but they produced the 'zero' that cost us a lot," Ernest said. Therefore, I believe that these production lines must not be handed over to someone else, even if they are destroyed as garbage! ”

"Please!" Many objected: "The production lines of 'Wildcat' and 'Dreadnought' are not high-tech, other countries have similar related technologies, and even the French will not have much worse technology than them, so they don't take advantage of the present to help them...... After a while, they won't be able to take a fancy to it! ”
