So Zhang Chi soon found General Zhu An. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"General!" Zhang Chi said: "I don't know if you have noticed the equipment problem of the Zoaf Corps?" ”

"Equipment problems?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi said: "The pistols, rifles, machine guns, mortars, etc., of the Zoaf Corps, are old and backward, and many soldiers hope to use American-style weapons!" ”

Hearing this, General Zhu An couldn't help but be silent.

Zhang Chi is right, there are indeed problems with the weapons and equipment of the Zoaf Corps, for example, the rifle still uses the M16BR during the First World War, although it is also an excellent bolt rifle, but compared with the M1 rifle of the US army, there is indeed a big gap.

Not to mention the rest of the equipment, most of the arms of the Zoaf Corps had been brought from France, but by this time France was all occupied by the Germans...... Although Algeria also has some arsenals, they are a drop in the bucket and simply cannot meet the needs of the Zoaf Corps.

"What? Any questions? Seeing General Zhu An's expression, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"No, no...... No problem. General Juan replied.

"Let's put it this way!" General Juan explained: "The British were also very backward in their individual weapons compared to the Americans, but they insisted on using their own equipment, and only in other equipment, such as tanks, armored vehicles, etc., were imported from the United States. ”

"The reason for this is that Britain has too many troops to fully equip it with American-style weapons!" Zhang Chi continued: "This point does not exist in the Zoaf Corps, because the Zoaf Corps is not numerous? ”

General Juan nodded: "Yes, the number of Zoaf's corps is not large, but what about the future?" There will be French troops in the future! In the future, there will be troops composed of French, for example, one day to merge with 'Fighting France', will all French troops be equipped with American-style weapons? And if there are two weapons systems, this will directly affect the coordination between the French army on the battlefield! ”

"What's more important is ......" Then General Zhu An said: "Major General, you may be an outsider, you only think about improving the combat effectiveness of the Zoaf Corps, but ...... We are the French army, and if we are fully equipped with American weapons, we will be controlled by the United States, understand? ”

General Zhu An is right, so you can't buy or use arms casually, even if you give them away for free, you don't dare to use them casually...... Because this is directly related to the question of whether maintenance and supply are controlled by others, and even whether national defense and security are controlled by others, they have no political independence of their own.

The modern United States often does this, at the beginning of the free delivery of weapons, and all of them are good equipment, some countries are red and do not know how to use it, after a few years of use...... That's when money is required, and there are plenty of political restrictions attached to it.

Want to use it?

The whole country is equipped with American weapons, doesn't it mean that the whole country is not defended? The United States only needs to cultivate a random rebel to overthrow the regime of this country!

So I had to buy it with my teeth, and I had to buy it when I cut my flesh and sell my blood...... It's time to pay the protection fee.

This is a new way of colonization, so the modern United States will have so many "followers" in the world, just look at the so-called "joint research and development" model of the United States F35, the price of research and development has been mentioned again and again, and even the price of the original "propaganda" is several times higher...... Why not shear sheep while still controlling the defense, military, and politics of these countries to a certain extent?

This is what General Juan feared, and the issue was already very sensitive for French officers, because many already believed that "Fighting France" was a puppet of Britain and that the "government of Algiers" was a puppet of the United States.

To some extent, yes, but the more this happens, the more the French officers will be wary of this, and will always want to break free from British and American control...... The French are not stupid, they used to be an industrial power on a par with Britain and the United States, and they don't want to be played by other countries like this.

This was true of General Juan, it was like that of de Gaulle, and even General Giraud...... This is why General Giraud could not wait to order the arrest of pro-American French officers after the victory in Algeria at the Battle of Pizerta Port.

Therefore, General Zhu An would rather have the armaments of the Zoaf Corps and the weapons backward than be equipped with American-style equipment.

"I know all of this!" Zhang Chi said.

"You know?" General Zhu An was a little surprised: "Then the major general...... Knowing this, you still want the Zoaf Corps to be equipped with American-style weapons? Oh, I forgot, you're the face of America, aren't you? ”

There was already some hostility in General Juan's words.

"No, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "I'm not the spokesperson of the United States!" ”

"Uh-huh!" General Juan pinned his head to the side, raised the coffee in front of him, and said as he drank it, "I'm waiting for you to convince me!" ”

"It's easy!" Zhang Chi said: "Because what I want to say is not the introduction of weapons from the United States, but the ...... from China."

"China?" General Zhu An looked back suspiciously, was stunned for a while, and then said: "I don't understand what you mean, China has weapons to sell to us?" ”

"Absolutely!" Zhang Chi said: "You may not know that in Northeast China and Okinawa, there are many arsenals that are producing weapons for the US military fighting in the Philippines, American-style weapons!" And I can guarantee that the quality of these weapons is top-notch! ”

"Oh!" General Zhu An couldn't help but feel a little interested when he heard this.

But after thinking for a while, he said, "Major General, then please tell me...... Do I have the same concerns about you as I do in the United States? ”

This has nothing to do with the friendship between General Zhu An and Zhang Chi, in fact, as long as he is not a "political idiot" like Patton, he knows that there is no place for personal feelings in the face of national interests.

"You don't have to worry at all!" Zhang Chi smiled: "Because we plan to set up a factory in Algeria!" ”

General Zhu An almost choked on the coffee in his mouth, and then looked at Zhang Chi in a daze: "What do you mean...... Moved the equipment and factories to Algeria? ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied, "We can even give you the ability to produce these equipment yourself!" ”

"Will the Americans agree?"

"That's my problem!" Zhang Chi said.

He is not worried that the Americans will not agree, because the Americans will also benefit from it...... Moreover, this is also related to the coordination between the US military and the Zoaf Corps, and in some respects, it can even be said to be a matter of control.

"Then ......" General Zhu An asked Zhang Chi: "Tell me, Major General, what do you need?" ”
