This is the fate of being a chess piece, when the player thinks you are valuable or may be valuable in the future, they will take you seriously, but the situation will change at any time...... When a player thinks you are worthless or worthless, they will not hesitate to abandon you. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A chess player can never sacrifice for a chess piece, so this cannot be said to be the fault of the United States, and it can even be said that it is doing the right thing, but General Giraud, who is a chess piece, cannot accept it.

As a result, Zhang Chi also seemed to see the fate of himself and the expeditionary force...... If the Expeditionary Force loses its usefulness to the United States one day, I am afraid that it will abandon the Expeditionary Force in the same way that the Algiers Government is abandoning it now.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Chi has been developing and growing himself, he will not be willing to be a chess piece, he wants to be a chess player!

"So...... What should I do now? General Giraud was a little confused: "Perhaps, I should make peace with General de Gaulle, or...... I obey his commands! ”

It should be said that this is also one of the options, because from the current situation, the Algiers government really does not have many opportunities...... The British lost the lead in the war, but they skillfully used the media and the American mentality to turn the situation around.

In this sense, the British are still very good at taking advantage of the environment and opportunities.

Zhang Chi almost agreed with General Giraud's statement of "surrender to de Gaulle", partly because he thought that General Giraud was really a mud that he could not support, and partly because he really did not want to see the poor man of General Giraud end up dismal...... In fact, after obeying de Gaulle's command, he still held the position of vice chairman of the Supreme Defense Council, although it was a virtual position without power.

And now, Zhang Chi has made him work so hard to "fight on the front line", and sometimes he feels embarrassed for him.

But Zhang Chi thought about it: If General Giraud surrenders, won't his hard work be in vain? There are also interests in Algiers...... De Gaulle was not as talkative as General Giraud.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi persuaded him: "General, it's not yet time to surrender to 'Fighting France', if you surrender now...... How do you deal with the officers and civilians who have always supported you? ”

General Giraud's face couldn't help but improve when he heard this: "Yes, there are many people who support me, and we have the support of many people in Algeria, and there are even many French people who have fled from France and other places to Algeria to join us, they know the truth, they know that we can lead them to victory!" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied: "The news of our victory may have reached France, you know, there will always be someone who brings the news in, then it will be spread ten or ten hundreds, and the truth will always come out...... So, we're not necessarily going to lose, are we? ”

"Yes, yes!" General Giraud returned to normalcy again, and in fact, he became a little overconfident again: "I believe that the little tricks of de Gaulle will not deceive the French people, and France will always be on our side, as long as we can win more battles...... They know who is the real winner! ”

Most of the people who are not strong-willed have a problem like General Giraud, and they will quickly turn from extreme depression to extreme self-confidence, or for some reason they will become discouraged again.

But Zhang Chi knew in his heart that this was just a coaxing nonsense.

If the current situation develops, even a few more beautiful victories on their own will not help, unless, of course, the Zoaf corps can liberate France on its own...... Then every Frenchman will recognize the history of the Zoaf Corps and will not hesitate to put aside the "fighting France".

But this only exists in the beautiful imagination.

But what can Zhang Chi do now?

Zhang Chi couldn't do anything but wait quietly for that day to come.

But Zhang Chi didn't know, in fact, things were already changing, but Zhang Chi didn't feel it in it......

A few days later, the Allies were holding an exercise.

The exercise, of course, was in preparation for the landing in Normandy...... Although this may expose the strategic intentions of the Allied forces, as mentioned before, both sides know that a major war is about to break out, so there is no such thing as revealing or not exposing it, and it is still a secret only the landing site of the Allied forces.

Therefore, the Allies did not have to worry about "revealing strategic intentions".

On the other hand, the Allied landing operation was a coordinated operation of the sea, land, and air, and the troops participating in the campaign did not even have combat experience, so it was very necessary to discover and correct the problems through an exercise.

The location of the exercise was in Lyme Bay, and the participating forces were mainly the first batch of landing troops...... As Rommel guessed, the most important thing in this battle was the first day, and the Allies certainly recognized this, so the focus was also on the first batch of troops.

In this way, it has nothing to do with Zhang Chi and the Zoaf Corps, and Zhang Chi will continue to train at the base...... At this time, Zhang Chi didn't know what to train, because if the Zoaf Corps did not land in the first batch, or even in the third batch, then there would be no need for any amphibious landing operations at all, and it would be necessary to follow the other troops to clean up the battlefield.

But of course, Zhang Chi didn't say these words to the troops...... It is always good to train a little more and prepare a little more, and opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, especially for troops who are going to battle.

As a result, on the afternoon of the exercise, Zhang Chi heard an accident.

"Major General!" While Zhang Chi was bored flipping through the papers, General Giro ran in sweating profusely and said breathlessly, "Have you heard? Something went wrong with the exercise! ”

"Something's wrong? What's up? Zhang Chi asked.

However, looking at the gloating expression on General Giraud's face, Zhang Chi guessed that there was something wrong with "Fighting France".

Sure enough, General Giraud replied: "It was 'Fighting France', and they ran into German warships during the exercise, and it developed into a real battle!" ”

"Oh!" Zhang Chi thought it was an accident in the exercise, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

"'Fighting France' capsized a few ships and lost a few hundred men!" General Giraud replied: "It is important that some of the officers are missing, and eight of them are aware of the Normandy landings!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and now the matter was a big deal, because no one knew whether these officers fell into the sea and drowned or were captured by the Germans.
