As the so-called authorities are obsessed, there are some things that are often not clear to those who are in it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If you analyze things logically, it's actually very simple:

France can almost be said to have been disarmed by Germany, as Darlan said, "the guns of the Germans are aimed at France".

Well, on this premise, only Germany won the war and France could have been spared.

Of course, this is only a "probable", in fact, if Germany really won the war, it would not have made France a "place of survivorship" in the end.

And if Germany is doomed to defeat, they will try to use all available resources before they are defeated, hoping to bring the dead back to life or prolong the war.

Then France will inevitably become a victim.

"So!" Zhang Chi continued: "From the very beginning, France was doomed, and there was no second possibility...... Oh, if France can do their best to help the Germans in the war, just as the British use the Austrians, the New Zealanders, you use the Algerians, you use the Tunisians, I mean, if you are willing to be the German colonies to go to war for them, then I believe there may be a second possibility. But maybe it's even more terrifying, don't you say? ”

Darlan nodded in agreement.

The arrogant French would never be a colonizer for the Germans, but if the French were not willing to do so...... As a result, as this Chinese major general said, the Germans would inevitably pull the trigger before they died.

"Now......" Zhang Chi turned around and asked Darlang, "Let's go back to the original question, General!" Tell me why you continue to resist! ”

Darlang had nothing to say.

What is the point of resisting the Allies in Algeria if France is doomed? own insistence and all these casualties...... But it was only a matter of a few hours or a few days later for France to fall.

Thinking of this, Darlan couldn't help but slowly sit back in his chair, and he suddenly felt that the balance he had tried to maintain for so many years was in vain, France had never had a future to speak of, and its fate had been sealed when the "Armistice Agreement" was signed with Germany.

After a long time, Dar Lang said: "Can I send another telegram to France?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi nodded.

Darlan stood up and walked to the radio, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although our army is trying its best to block it, the enemy has attacked the command headquarters, and I have ordered the commander of the local garrison, General Juan, to negotiate the surrender of the city of Algiers!" ”

As he spoke, he ordered the commander of the guard battalion: "Bring General Juan here!" ”

"Yes!" The commander of the guard battalion turned and went out, only this time he was disarmed and followed by two expeditionary soldiers.

Soon, an old soldier wearing a French combat beret appeared in the command headquarters, and needless to say, he was General Juan.

General Zhu An first shook hands with Zhang Chi and said: "Welcome to your arrival, I am very surprised by your persistence, and at the same time I am ashamed that I was not able to contribute to this operation!" ”

"You've done a lot, General!" Zhang Chi replied.

Then General Juan walked up to Dar Lang and stood up and saluted: "General, I want to ask you to command us!" ”

"What?" Darlang looked at General Juan in disbelief, and then laughed: "Don't make trouble, Juan, I'm just a prisoner!" ”

"No, General!" General Juan replied: "I believe that under your command we will soon be able to liberate France and get a truly free France!" ”

"I'm old, Juan......"

"No, General!" Juan interrupted Darlan: "Even if it's for France!" ”

Darlang turned his gaze to Zhang Chi, who nodded in agreement.

Those who can dedicate themselves to their country or defend the interests of the motherland are worthy of respect, General Juan is such a person, and Dar Lang is also such a person.

But in fact, there are other reasons why Zhang Chi will agree to continue to command Darlang.

One is immediate, at this time the army of Algiers and even the whole of Algeria is actually in the hands of Dar Lang, and having his help is of great benefit to control Algeria.

The other is long-term, Darlan has quite a good appeal in mainland France...... After all, he was the number two man in the Vichy government, and he had always been between the major powers to defend French interests.

If the Allies were to fight back to France one day, Darlan would certainly be able to play a significant role.

There is also a reason for the selfishness of Zhang Chi: Britain cultivated the government of Charles de Gaulle in exile, and Darlan hated the British very much, so why not use Darlan as a means of counterbalancing Britain?

The effect was immediate, and Dar Lang immediately ordered a truce for all troops, and the sound of gunfire and artillery soon disappeared over Algiers.

When everyone didn't know what was going on, Darlan issued a statement to Algiers and the whole of Algeria by telegram, radio, etc.: French Algeria had joined the Allies and fought together with the Allies against the German fascists!

Algiers immediately erupted in cheers.

Of course, most of the cheerers were French officers, as well as many French people living in Algiers...... They had always been unwilling to live humiliating under the guns of the Germans.

As for the Algerians, their performance was much more prosaic: whether they joined the Germans or the Allies, it did not seem to make a big difference to them.

At this time, Montgomery sent a telegram to Zhang Chi.

"Major General!" Montgomery said in the telegram: "Unbelievable, you have succeeded! Do you know? Everyone thought you wouldn't be back in Algiers, but you didn't expect it...... Oh, God! You have conquered a country with only one division, a country with more than 200,000 troops! ”

"General!" Zhang Chi replied: "Now, you can make a plan to pursue Rommel Afrika Korps. If they don't retreat, they will stay in the African desert forever! ”

"Yes!" Montgomery replied, "I have to plan it well!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this telegram...... Do you still have to "plan well" to hunt down?

It is no wonder that Montgomery's repeated misses allowed Rommel to escape from under his nose, which is not only a problem of the slow speed of British tanks, but also a problem of Montgomery's overly conservative and overly cautious nature.

But it doesn't matter.

The defeat of the Afrika Korps is only a matter of time, and there is no need to rush it now.

In this respect, Montgomery's caution may still be a good thing.
