Chapter 354: Hello, Monsieur de Gaulle

March 18, 1940. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Yichun.

Xiaolu received a call back from de Gaulle. Since then, Xiaolu has officially established contact with Charles de Gaulle.

This was a move to lay out Europe in order to deal with the Second World War, which was about to take place in Europe. In addition, it is also a post-war layout. Among the five strong countries in the United Nations, China and France are the weakest, and there is a need for alliance.

In order to contact de Gaulle, Chen Dabang visited the French embassy in the Soviet Union while the Soviet Union was printing money. Zhou Gong was also in Moscow at the time and specifically led the matter. It was inconvenient for Zhou Gong to come forward, so Chen Dabang visited the French embassy alone.

Diplomatic relations between France and the Soviet Union were established in 1924 and the Franco-Soviet non-aggression pact was signed in 1932.

Embassies usually host Soviets, but also a small number of French. A Chinese came today, and the people at the embassy were surprised. However, the man took a few newspapers that piqued their interest.

These newspapers, both in English and in Chinese, said one thing, and a Chinese published several articles that Germany would invade France and Europe in 1940.

These newspapers have also been collected by French intelligence services before, and people in the diplomatic system know about them. However, almost no one paid attention to it. Because these articles were written by Chinese, no one paid attention to them.

This time, the Chinese took these newspapers and told the embassy that there was something important, important intelligence.

For the first time, the French embassy did not make any further contact with him, nor did Chen Dabang force contact with them. Chen Dabang had close ties and affiliations with the Comintern. If he has too much contact with the French and is targeted by the Soviet side, then it will be troublesome, and the Soviet side can completely purge him. Historically, there were also people who purged the cadres of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army by the Soviet Union.

Soon, the other party heard back.

While Mr. Chan was walking down the street, a man gave him a note inviting him to a café for coffee.

When Mr. Chen came to the café, he saw a man greeting him, who was the same person who received him from the embassy.

Chen has lived in France, and although he has an accent, he is fluent in French. The official said, "My name is George, and I was at the embassy yesterday, so it is inconvenient to contact you." What information do you have? What is your purpose? Who are you? ”

Chen Dabang said: "I am Chinese, a representative of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army. At present, I am entrusted by Lieutenant General Lu Xiaoming to discuss cooperation with France. ”

George: "Lieutenant General Lu Xiaoming? ”

Chen Dabang said: "He is the lieutenant general of the defense of Nanjing." I'm sure you can know that yesterday's two articles were written by General Lu. ”

George: "Lieutenant General Lu Xiaoming? I know about the Battle of Nanjing. It is true that there was a lieutenant general who led a group of major generals to fight for almost a month. But why would Luzhong cooperate with us? ”

Chen Dabang said: "In order to preserve an anti-fascist force, for our friendship. For the sake of this friendship, I have another piece of information for you. ”

George: "Why didn't your Yan'an contact us?" ”

Chen Dabang said: "Please forgive us, we have our reasons for our actions. However, General Lu Zhong can fully represent Yan'an. We can guarantee this with our actions. ”

George took the information in the newspaper that on August 23, 1939, the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact and a secret agreement. On the second page is the Additional Agreement, which has no content, only a header and the last line: "The Parties shall treat this Additional Agreement as confidential." ”

George said: "There is no additional agreement? ”

Chen Dabang said: "The agreement was translated into French by me, of course. If France is willing to cooperate with us, we are willing to provide secret content. ”

George said: "Does the additional agreement have anything to do with France?" ”

Chen Dabang said: "It has to do with the whole world, and it has the most to do with France. My share of information, as well as future information, is worth 50 billion francs, in the words of our lieutenant general. ”

George said, "Didn't you say that it was given to us for the sake of friendship?" ”

Chen Dabang said: "You have already seen what I gave to you. Valuable information, you don't pay for it, you don't pay the price, and the upper echelons won't pay attention to it at all. Lieutenant General Lu said. The French are great and smart, they will pay a little money and win huge benefits. ”

George said, "What do you want?" Money? ”

Chen Dabang said: "Money, as well as machinery and equipment. ”

George said, "I can only go back and report." ”

The two left the café.

A few days later, Chen Dabang finished printing money, and the currency was transported back to Yichun, while Chen Dabang went directly to France.

Chen Dabang is familiar with going to France, and has lived in France for a long time. In France, the shadow of the USSR is gone, and there is no need to be careful.

The French government was intrigued by Chen's intelligence, and several meetings were held at the top.

Not only because of this intelligence, but on the basis of many years of situational judgment, France believed that Germany would attack France, and the question was when, where, how, and how to respond.

Although Chen Dabang was courteous to the government, his request for assistance was put on hold, and the French government only politely gave 500,000 francs as a moral aid.

What's in it? The French did not seem interested and did not make further demands. Chen Dabang was somewhat disappointed, and when he studied this information, he was already convinced that the Germans would invade France. Why don't the French pay attention to it?

According to Xiaolu's plan, Chen Dabang met de Gaulle in France.

When Chen Dabang left Yichun, Xiaolu had a long talk with him several times. Because Yan'an could not engage in diplomacy on behalf of the country, contact with de Gaulle could only be carried out in secret. In order not to give Chongqing a false pretext, he wanted to carry out activities in the capacity of a representative of Lieutenant General Lu Xiaoming.

Koji gave him a detailed introduction to de Gaulle, his political views, military views, and leadership potential. In addition, Koji also introduced the situation in Europe and the possibility of a big war in Europe. The core is that France forms a political alliance to obtain benefits before the war, form alliances during the war, and obtain greater political benefits after the war.

Charles de Gaulle, born in 1890, was captured by the Germans in World War I. At the end of 1937, de Gaulle was promoted to colonel and became the commander of the tank regiment.

De Gaulle was an active advocate of mechanized three-dimensional warfare in Europe. It can be said that with the advancement of modernization, the concept of mechanized warfare is being put forward for many military personnel.

Charles de Gaulle was such a man who was ahead of his time.

In the 30s, de Gaulle published a series of military theoretical works, discussing the necessity of using a large number of tanks and mechanized units in coordination with the air force and infantry in future wars, and strongly advocated the formation of highly mobile mechanized units in France. It is a pity that these strategic ideas have not been taken seriously and adopted by the French military command.

It can be seen that he is an unambitious person, he was only promoted to colonel in his forties, and now he is almost fifty years old, and his official position is still very low.

In addition, he is still a stubborn person and a fierce man. In World War II, in order to escape from France, he insisted on resisting the war, and staged a blockbuster of life and death.

It was June 17, 1940, France had fallen, and de Gaulle sent General Spears of England back to London.

After arriving at the airport, just as the plane was starting, he suddenly started running with the plane. At that time, the plane was also small, and de Gaulle was tall and long-legged, and he caught up in a few steps. General Spears suddenly came to his senses and quickly grabbed de Gaulle's arm with his hand.

The plane took off, and de Gaulle's legs were still kicking in the air.

It is believed that the plane was not pedaled by Charles de Gaulle.

This plot, made into a movie, is not too much at all.

Now, in February and March, de Gaulle is not yet in the post of Deputy Minister of Defense and the Army. The two positions were offered in June.

Chen Dabang made an appointment a few times to see him. Chen Dabang brought a handwritten letter from Xiaolu, of course, in Chinese, but Chen Dabang has translated it into French.

The letter spoke highly of his outstanding talent and his advanced theories of war. The letter also said that he contacted him on behalf of Mao and Zhou. Mao admired him very much, and Zhou had studied in France, had feelings for France, and did not want France to be destroyed by Germany.

De Gaulle was naturally very receptive to the praise, but he was a little sad, because it was an opposition party in China that accepted his talent.

De Gaulle had a detailed understanding of the political situation in China, the status of Yan'an, and the personalities of several leaders.

De Gaulle also asked the same question, why look for me? What is your purpose?

Chen Dabang took out the second letter.

In the second letter, Xiao Lu described his purpose in detail: first, to maintain a force to resist fascism, second, to maintain Sino-French friendship, and third, to cultivate a firm alliance to resist some greedy forces and resist all evil forces.

In the letter, he believed that France should cooperate with him, because he had a clear vision of Europe, and Germany would destroy France and other countries. Himself can show France a path to preserve power.

The letter also included a copy of the Soviet-German treaty with him.

Chen Dabang did not understand that the French government did not attach importance to this contract, and complained to de Gaulle. The complaints resonated with de Gaulle.

De Gaulle was not convinced: "How could Germany destroy our country?" We have the Maginot Line, we have the army. ”

"A few years ago, the policies of France and Britain towards Germany were wrong, and this is our view. As he spoke, he took out a third letter.

The letter is simple, if I were to direct the German army to attack France, the Maginot Line would be a pile of tofu. I can break through France in a very short time.

Why, please ask Mr. Chen. What is Tofu? What are the tactics of Lieutenant General Lu?

Mr. Colonel, it's time for lunch, and if you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to a Chinese restaurant for tofu. The shape of the tofu can be the same brick, very nutritious and very soft. I guess what Lieutenant General Lu meant, it's not that the Maginot Line is very nutritious.

Is the Maginot Line soft? What does he mean? Mr. Chen. Do you have a fourth letter?

Without. My task is to wait for your reply. If you have questions, you can ask me. At the same time, I would like to purchase a batch of machinery and equipment, please help. Let's go and eat, and I will introduce you to the plan of the battle against France proposed by General Lu at the dinner table.
