The next day, before the storm had completely subsided, the roar of airplanes could be heard in the sky.

Then there was a large black pressure of transport planes, like dark clouds at the beginning of a storm, and then a dandelion-like parachute was dropped, slowly descending from the sky.

It was the British and American airborne troops, sent by Eisenhower to help Zhang Chi consolidate the defenses of Paris.

At this time, Paris was not just a political symbol, as long as the Allies could control it, it meant that a nail was laid behind the German line or on the way back, and then the army would use this nail as the center to spread out to the two wings, forming an encirclement of the German troops stationed along the coastline, especially Calais and Normandy.

At this time, the German army was undoubtedly heading for collapse.

Rommel's last-ditch effort did not work, mainly due to a lack of supplies...... Caen and Rouen were two important supply bases for Rommel's Army Group B, both of which were captured and then laundered by the Chinese army, so that even if they were later occupied by the Germans, their losses would be irreversible.

This made Rommel choose to launch a surprise attack on the American troops in the dark of night, but the American troops had already prepared for this, and a large number of mines and a tight fire network caused several German sneak attacks to end in heavy casualties.

As for the Germans on Calais and other defensive lines along the coast...... When they knew that Normandy and Paris, especially Paris, had fallen into the hands of the Allies, they knew that the war was over.

This can be seen by even the most lame soldiers: the situation of the Allies is very good, Normandy has opened a breakthrough, the liberation of Paris has called for the French partisans and underground organizations to revolt, especially Paris is still the command center and rear of the German army, and the sky is again in the hands of the Allies after the storm has passed...... The defeat of the Germans was assured.

It can even be said that if the German army does not retreat, it will be surrounded by the Allies and remain in France forever.

As a result, the German army soon suffered the largest rout in history, and dozens of divisions and hundreds of thousands of people lost the will to resist and retreated towards the Franco-German border...... To the great frustration of the Germans, the French roads and bridges had long been bombed, and they had been stalked and harassed by Allied fighters, making their retreat difficult and slow.

Zhang Chi stayed in Paris and didn't move, the task of the Chinese army was to garrison Paris, so Zhang Chi even had time to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris...... It's just that at the time of the visit, the explosives on the Eiffel Tower had not been completely discharged.

Then Zhang Chi received a call from the US Airborne Troops.

"Major General!" The voice of an American officer came from the walkie-talkie: "Colonel Martin, commander of the 101st Regiment of the 327th Brigade of the 327th Airborne Division, salutes you, we are ordered to parachute to the left flank of Paris and cooperate with you to defend Paris, and the whole regiment of 3,355 people is at your disposal!" ”

101 Airborne Division...... This is the trump card of the US Airborne Forces, and a well-known modern TV series "Band of Brothers" is based on the 101st Airborne Division.

It seems that Eisenhower also realized the importance of Paris and invested in it.

"Stay put, Colonel!" Zhang Chi ordered: "You do the fortifications before it gets dark, the Germans are likely to appear at night, understand?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Colonel Martin answered, paused, and then said, "Sir, please allow me to talk nonsense...... Your command was really good, and none of us expected that you would take Paris so quickly, and we thought it would be at least a month later, but all of a sudden...... You know, we weren't even mentally prepared for the Germans to begin to rout on all fronts! Well done! ”

Colonel Martin was telling the truth, because with the British and American offensive methods, that is, using a large number of shells and tanks to pile forward, Paris is more than 200 kilometers away from Normandy, and the German army will defend layer by layer, so it will only take a month to hit Paris.

But it's only been a few days...... The U.S. military even wanted to wait for the storm to pass before it was over, but it didn't expect that the victory and defeat would be decided before the storm had passed.

"Colonel!" Zhang Chi replied: "You know, if anyone can think of it, then we are afraid that we have become the guns of the Germans!" ”

Colonel Martin couldn't help but laugh "haha".

What made Zhang Chi feel a fly in the ointment was that General Giraud was still reluctant to appear in Paris at this time. Needless to say, General Giraud's concern remains about security.

At this time, Paris needed more members of the Algiers government, especially General Giraud...... The Chinese army and the Zoaf Corps are always foreign troops, so they need a French leader like General Giraud to raise their arms in Paris and shout to gain the support of the Parisian people.

As long as everyone understands it, this is the best moment for General Giraud to appear and reap political benefits, but General Giraud is still playing the same game as before...... Let General Juan exercise his power on his behalf and rush to Paris.

Unsurprisingly, General Juan had some accidents on the way, and they were stopped by the partisans who mistook them for German deserters.

The reason why he said "no surprise" is because Zhang Chi knew from the beginning that this situation would occur, and the "misthought" of the guerrillas was not actually "mistaken thinking".

Leclerc's Panzer Division, on the other hand, rushed all the way to Paris by starry night, and finally arrived in Paris two days later ahead of General Juan.

As you can imagine, the Parisians welcomed General Leclerc's troops with the warmest applause, cheers, and the singing of the Marseillaise...... The French needed a victory too much, or rather, a victory of their own, so of course they would have preferred an army made up of French troops and left the Chinese troops and the Zoaf corps aside.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Chi could only sigh helplessly: a good hand of cards was broken by General Giro.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Chi felt that it didn't matter, because he had already got what he needed most...... Von Braun and his team.

As for General Giraud, let him regret it and face the situation.

Zhang Chi sometimes thinks that this seems to be General Giraud's mud that can't support the wall, and it seems to be fate.

It is not always as easy as you think to change history, and even if you have made many efforts and achieved considerable success, history is still going in the direction it should go.

What Zhang Chi did not expect was that this did not mean that the struggle between General Giraud and de Gaulle was over, and the Algiers government was not as bad as he thought it would be.
