Chapter 926: The Liberator

Saint-Sauvo TV, General Juan arrived almost as soon as he got off the plane, and then just a few words to Zhang Chihan prepared to give a speech to the microphone and camera. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition to striking with the hot iron, there was also the fear that the radio would not be able to carry out normally due to interference from the German army or even the German counteroffensive...... If that is the case, the Government of Algiers will miss a golden opportunity.

From this, it can also be seen that General Giraud really has a bit of a bad smell of mud that can't be applied to the wall.

"Citizens of France!" General Juan said angrily to the camera: "Maybe many of you will recognize me, yes, I am Alphonse Juan, former French commander-in-chief in North Africa...... That's a hard time to look back on, isn't it? France had to swallow its anger under the coercion of Germany, and we gave up our dignity, our personality, and even our relatives!

But......

This forbearance paid off, for General Giraud and I, with the assistance of the Allies, led the French African forces to form the government of Algiers, and we fought back with our troops, and again and again on the battlefield victories...... As I speak, our troops have captured Normandy and taken a historic first step towards the liberation of France!

I, Alphonse Juan, am now speaking to you on Saint-Sauvo TV in Normandy!

Yes, we have liberated Normandy, and this is only the first step we have taken, and I invite all French citizens, whether you are armed or not, to join us in driving the Germans out of our country, to do what the French should do, to regain our dignity and dignity, to seek justice for our lost loved ones, for the lives of the world that have fallen under the butcher's knife of the fascist Axis powers! Join us, or get in touch with us! Long live France! ”

When General Zhu An stepped down from the podium, Zhang Chi greeted him and said, "Quite a wonderful speech, General!" ”

General Zhu An replied with some embarrassment: "Major General, what is even more exciting is your battle on the battlefield...... You know? When I knew that I was going to give this talk, I was very uneasy! ”

"Uneasy? Why? ”

"Because you fought this battle!" General Juan said: "They don't even have much to do with me or even General Giraud, but I stood in front of the stage to pick the fruits of this victory!" ”

"The general is too modest!" Zhang Chi replied: "In fact, they themselves are the troops of the Algiers government, and of course they will not have nothing to do with you!" ”

General Juan nodded, acknowledging this, and then said, "General Giro, he ......"

"I understand!" Zhang Chi interrupted General Zhu An's words.

There are some things that do not need to be said explicitly, especially on the battlefield, because saying them clearly will affect the morale of the whole army...... If the Zoaf Corps were to know that while they were fighting valiantly regardless of life and death, their top leaders were cowering in Britain and did not dare to show their faces because of so-called "security" issues, then I am afraid that there would be voices of dissatisfaction immediately.

General Juan also understood this, so he immediately stopped his mouth.

"I'm here this time with bad news!" General Juan said: "We have received information that the troops of 'Fighting France' have landed in Normandy on the heels of the British, and that it is General Leclerc who commands them, and this time ...... They were very well equipped, and even had an armored division, which they called the French 2nd Panzer Division! ”

Zhang Chi let out an "oh".

This is not because the "fighting France" had and sent an armored division...... This is actually quite normal, "Fighting France" is not as shabby as General Juan's French colonial army, and "Fighting France" has the support of Britain, and it is not surprising that it can form an armored division.

And now is also the time for Liwei...... The French people are watching with their eyes open to see which unit is more likely to win or more imposing, which can be said to be patriotic or speculative...... The sooner you join the battle and the right troops, the more likely you are to get a job in the future.

So what equipment and troops are at the bottom of the box for "Fighting France" now, it's time to turn it out and make a show.

But Zhang Chi didn't care about this so-called "armored division", what he really cared about was the "Leclerc" General that General Zhu An said.

In modern times, anyone who is a military fan knows the name "Leclerc...... Because France's most advanced main battle tank is named after it.

The main battle tanks are named after him, and you can imagine the status of this Leclerc in the hearts of the French...... In fact, he was like a god of war in the eyes of the French.

However, Leclerc did not win any beautiful battles, but because France's performance during World War II was extremely poor, and its self-esteem had been hit worse than ever before, so a slight victory in the past could stimulate the nerves of the French and make them cheer.

Leclerc's most famous victory was to attack Paris as the "liberator" of France...... The Allies did not want the French to be "liberators", even the British.

This is actually very easy to understand, the big and important battles were all fought by the Allies, and the "battle of France" was just a fight, and sometimes the French army was even allowed to go for political reasons, so why did the French army get the highest honor and liberate the capital Paris first?

As a result, the Allies ordered the French to halt their advance and slow down.

But Leclerc was not such a rigid person...... He had been working with the English for a long time, and he knew the English tricks well, so instead of obeying the order, he hastened and drove into Paris.

The German troops stationed in Paris were already in the smoke of the French rebel uprising, so they were unable to resist, and Leclerc won at the cost of only 628 casualties.

This battle not only enabled Leclerc to win the honor of "liberator of Paris", but also made the leaders of the Allied forces further identify with De Gaulle's identity as the supreme leader.

"So!" After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said: "What we have to do now is to have a match with Leclerc!" ”

"Race?" General Zhu An was a little puzzled.

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "Let's see who can liberate Paris first, and the prize will be France!" ”

General Zhu An couldn't help but half-open his mouth, he hadn't thought of this before, and now he heard Zhang Chi say this...... It still seems to be true.
