Motivation means that success is not far away, but Li Xiaofeng knows that de Gaulle is not so easy to convince. Although he is still far from a professional old fox such as Churchill, de Gaulle, who has experienced the pain of losing his country, has already gone through a baptism, and he is on the right path as a politician.

Li Xiaofeng knew very well that in order to really convince de Gaulle, he needed to add another fire, because he knew very well what De Gaulle really cared about. For de Gaulle, ensuring France's national dignity and national interests came first, so even if the conditions offered by the Soviet Union were good and could satisfy the interests of France and his own in the short term, in the long run, France's national interests were not consistent with those of the Soviet Union.

To put it simply, in Europe, France has always sought leadership. But it is a pity that for the past two hundred years, France's efforts have always been disturbed by Britain and Germany, especially the British, which really made France full of tears. However, in the last 30 years, especially after a series of exchanges of interests before and after World War I, the key issue of the conflict of national interests between Britain and France has been resolved. The common interests of the two countries tend to converge, which also makes the two countries move in step with each other in dealing with international issues.

On the contrary, the Soviet Union did not deal with the French on too many issues, first of all, in ********, the French admired freedom, while the Soviet Union advocated order, and France belonged to the people. The main lineage, and the USSR belonged to the ****. Especially on the issue of communism, it is almost impossible for the two countries to come to an agreement.

This is still the most minor ******** issue, as long as the Soviet Union does not give up the export of revolution, France will probably not have a sense of security. Even the French shuddered at the thought that in the future there would be millions of Red Army troops squatting on the Rhine.

At the very least, de Gaulle wanted the Soviet Union to move as far away from France as possible, and even though he had discussed this issue in his previous talks with Li Xiaofeng, the Soviet Union made a verbal promise that Germany would be completely disarmed and that no country should station troops in Germany. But is this verbal promise really reliable? Hitler and Chamberlain wrote clearly in black and white, and the result? Chamberlain was fooled quite badly!

In any case, De Gaulle was unwilling to be a second Chamberlain, which determined that he could not fully believe in the promises of the Soviet Union. He was afraid that the only thing he believed in was himself, and he was even willing to use the influence of Britain and the United States to drive the Soviet Union away.

Li Xiaofeng may have the same thought, no superpower wants to be a neighbor of another superpower, especially a superpower that ******** conflicts with national interests. Look at what was the state after the T Republic and the Soviet Union turned against each other? Both sides are actually scared of the wolf with a hemp pole, resulting in a lot of resources being wasted in a meaningless confrontation.

It is clear that a general treaty cannot dispel France's concerns, and it is necessary to make the Soviet Union and France converge on the interests of Europe, at least Western Europe, so that the two sides can sit down and coexist peacefully.

Li Xiaofeng suggested: "In fact, our two countries can reach a broad consensus on the German question, and our attitude is that we must solve the German problem cleanly and thoroughly, eradicate the root cause of Germany's re-launching of war, disarm Germany forever, and always ensure that Germany loses the possibility of starting another war." The best way to do this is to establish a federal Germany, where every state that joins the federation enjoys full sovereignty and independence......"

De Gaulle nodded slowly, just imagine, if Germany was only a nominal whole, like the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages, each state enjoyed great autonomy, the German spirit ceased to exist, and the source of strength of the German nation was interrupted, would Germany still pose a threat to France in the future?

It's just that Li Xiaofeng wanted to say much more than De Gaulle realized, and a certain immortal said: "Of course, in the initial post-war period, it was still necessary for us, the victorious powers, to supervise the reconstruction of the new Germany, and I think it would be appropriate for France to lead the reconstruction of the Ruhr region!" ”

De Gaulle's eyes widened, it was clear that the Soviets were preparing to hand over the Ruhr industrial area to France, which was an unimaginably large piece of fat, considering that after the end of World War I, France had contacted Belgium to try to occupy the Ruhr area under the pretext that Germany had failed to meet its reparation obligations. It was only later under pressure from Britain and the United States that he gave up.

And now, the USSR promised to give the Ruhr area to France after the war, which is simply unthinkable. De Gaulle began to lose his temper at first, and began to feel that he could really cooperate with the Soviet Union. And he didn't realize that Li Xiaofeng threw out more than that!

Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "In view of the fact that Germany greatly damaged the French economy during the occupation of France, in order to help the French people resume production, the Soviet government will give France a low-interest loan of 500 million Swiss francs......

500 million Swiss francs was not a small number at that time, equivalent to more than 100 tons of gold, and for France, which was looted badly by Germany, with this money, not to mention restoring productivity to pre-war levels, at least there would be money to buy rice for cooking.

De Gaulle was a little excited, in his opinion, the Soviet Union was quite sincere, you must know that the economic situation of the Soviet Union was not good, and the war damage suffered was greater, in this case, the Soviet Union was still willing to take money to help France, when did Nima Polar Bear become so generous?

Li Xiaofeng also smiled bitterly in his heart, it was really not the polar bear's generosity, but the polar bear's generosity, the 500 million Swiss francs were actually lent to the Soviet government by NORINCO, and it was interest-free, but the Soviet government relented to France with a little interest.

If you ask NORINCO where did it get so much money, in fact, NORINCO can't get so much money, and this money is actually jointly funded by NORINCO, Nokia and Ambrera, of which NORINCO accounts for the smallest proportion. The real big boss is Ambrera Company, throughout World War II, this "drug dealer" is considered to have made a lot of money, the export of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, anesthetics is famous all over the world, including the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and other three giants have ordered a large number of drugs from Ambrera, a total of billions of dollars. Taking out hundreds of millions of Swiss francs to help Big Boss tackle key problems is simply a piece of cake.

If it weren't for Li Xiaofeng's consideration of not revealing his wealth and not taking out a huge amount of money to stimulate Britain and the United States at once, he would have been able to make Ambrera come up with more money. Of course, 500 million Swiss francs was not too little, at least even de Gaulle's heart was beating fast and he began to figure out how to spend the money.

There may be comrades who want to say that de Gaulle also saw that the eyes of money were opened, isn't it 500 million Swiss francs? After the war, the United States gave him billions of dollars, which was not much more than 500 million Swiss francs, so why should he offend Britain and the United States for such a small amount of money?

That's not what I said, it's not the end of the war, and the devil knows whether the Americans will come to Europe's aid, not to mention the fact that the Americans are not living Lei Feng, and there is no Marshall Plan before Europe agrees to their harsh conditions.

And now, the 500 million Swiss francs given by the Soviet Union do not have too many conditions attached, first, they do not want France to open their markets, and second, they do not want France to give the Soviet Union unilateral most-favored-nation status, and the only requirement is to let France help drag Britain and the United States back.

However, de Gaulle still had a little final entanglement, he knew that the Russians were not living Lei Feng, and if it was not profitable, there was no need to spend such a large amount of money to win over France. And once he decides to cooperate with the Soviets, then the future Soviet Union's ironclad torrent will be very close to France!

Based on this, de Gaulle could not make up his final decision. Li Xiaofeng, on the other hand, knew that the final moment had come, and he had to make de Gaulle accept this reality.

"Your Excellency, I know what you're worried about. It was nothing more than a fear that the Soviet government would not keep its promises, and at that time the Soviet Red Army was too close to France...... I don't think this concern is at all necessary! ”

De Gaulle clearly looked at a certain immortal with an expression that you don't want to be a child. Li Xiaofeng explained with a smile: "First of all, I want to say that the Soviet government has repeatedly emphasized that we can implement this through an international convention, and we are willing to abide by this convention. Taking a step back, even if the French government does not believe in the credibility of the Soviet government, can you change the reality of the Soviet Red Army in Poland and even in eastern Germany? ”

De Gaulle was stunned by this question, because he always felt that it was too dangerous for the Soviet Union to get too close, and it was better to drive the Soviet Union as far away as possible.

This is an embarrassing problem for the French, because judging from the performance on the current battlefield, even if the Soviet Red Army performs poorly, there is absolutely no problem in attacking eastern Germany, that is to say, even if the French do not cooperate, the Soviet Union's ironclad torrent will enter Germany.

The answer is that there is no way! What made de Gaulle even more embarrassed was that once this situation arose, Britain and the United States would probably not be as generous as the Soviet Union and would give France so many preferential conditions, and France would probably not even be able to get a fart at that time.

With this figured out, there was nothing to stop de Gaulle from cooperating with the Soviet Union, and soon the two sides settled most of their differences and worked together.

And all this is not very clear to Learvin, she fell into the two great pits of Iran and the Warsaw uprising, and for a while could not pay attention to the question of cooperation between France and the Soviet Union. Moreover, the female spy thought that she knew De Gaulle very well, and she thought that De Gaulle had no reason to cooperate with the Soviet Union, and that some immortal must be doing useless work.

It's just that what Li Erwen didn't expect was that De Gaulle was moved by Li Xiaofeng's words, there was the French Communist Party undercover in Paris, and De Gaulle was a second or fifth boy in the Allied army, and the Paris uprising was already imminent.

However, in order to successfully complete the uprising, there are some problems that must be solved, such as the problem of weapons and ammunition, such as the problem of operational command. Fortunately, Li Xiaofeng has already built a large framework, and the rest of the details are relatively easy.

Anyway, there was nothing wrong with the Soviet side, the real problem came from France. It has been said before that Roosevelt did not like de Gaulle, and was even ready to cooperate with Vichy France for a time, but it was Churchill who helped De Gaulle to say good things and do the work, so that Roosevelt reluctantly accepted de Gaulle and the Free France movement.

However, even so, de Gaulle did not have absolute authority in Free France and ORA (French Military Resistance), and de Gaulle had a strong opponent at that time, and that person was Henry. Girard (some translate it as Henry. Giraud), this General Girard is much more powerful than de Gaulle in terms of seniority, in 1939, when de Gaulle was only a colonel, this was already the commander of the group army to worship the general, properly several levels older than de Gaulle.

Of course, the Admiral Girard was not very good at fighting, having been captured by the Germans in Belgium during World War II, and then escaped from prison with miraculous skills. Anyway, at that time, the reputation of this person in the ORA exploded De Gaulle. What is interesting is that the political views of the two sides are completely different, the contradictions are unprecedentedly acute, and the relations are even more tense.

Roosevelt, on the other hand, admired Henry. Girard, who thought he was the most suitable person to lead France, naturally did not like de Gaulle. And De Gaulle had nothing to do about it, who made Henry. Is Girard's backstage harder? For example, in the famous Casablanca meeting, the famous group photo of four people, three of whom are familiar to everyone, and the one on the far left wearing boots is Henry. Girard, judging by the photographs, Roosevelt clearly liked him more.

In fact, not to mention Roosevelt, Churchill did not like De Gaulle, according to the newly declassified British wartime secret archives, Churchill would seize every opportunity to "elbow de Gaulle", such as in 1942 forbade British War Economic Secretary Hilber to transfer to De Gaulle 800,000 francs promised to the French domestic resistance. At that time, Churchill rebuked Hilber to his face: "By doing so, you are making de Gaulle use the British treasury!" We need to stop de Gaulle from having access to British money at once, even the slightest! ”

In response to Churchill's rebuke, Hilber could only reluctantly reply: "We must allocate this money to the Free French movement led by Charles de Gaulle, because the headquarters of this organization is in London, and through this headquarters, we can easily distribute the money to the resistance groups in France." ”

At that time, this money was life-threatening for the French Resistance, as members of the Resistance were in dire need of cash to buy food. Hilber added: "Whatever future conflict we may have with de Gaulle himself, if we cut off this life-saving money now, it would be tantamount to pushing the French Resistance into the Nazis' mouth, so we must not cut off cash aid to them now!" ”

But how did Churchill answer? He rebuked Hilber for being too narrow-minded in his politics, and finally, under pressure from Churchill, the money was distributed directly to the French resistance groups by the British Special Operations Service. As for the reason for his hostility to de Gaulle, Churchill bluntly said: "De Gaulle hated Britain, and he exuded an anti-British atmosphere!" ”

Henry. Girard could indeed cause problems for Li Xiaofeng's plans, at least when there was a discussion within the Free France about whether to cooperate with the Soviet Union. Girard is the one who can do bad things. In order to avoid this guy breaking the good thing. De Gaulle deliberately concealed the core of his talks with the Soviet Union, focusing only on how to instigate the Paris uprising. It was only on this issue that de Gaulle had the confidence to defeat Henry. Girard.

The truth was not much as de Gaulle had predicted, when he raised the issue of the Paris uprising to the height of nationalism. Girard could not object, even if he tactfully offered to ask for the consent of Britain and the United States to object. The French National Liberation Council adopted de Gaulle's proposal, determined to instigate the Paris uprising by September.

Before the Paris uprising broke out, let's look at the situation of the resistance in France. Among the more famous ones, in addition to the armed forces of the French Communist Party, there is also Captain Henry. Fullernet formed the battle of France. In addition, there is Andrei, who goes by the pseudonym Colonel Pesci. The Central Intelligence Operations Group formed by Darwin was transferred to Alfred Darwin after Colonel Percy was arrested by the Gestapo. Lieutenant Colonel Tony reorganized the group into the Interior Military Organization (OCM), which recruited a large number of soldiers and volunteers left behind in the German occupation zone, and obtained countless pieces of information, including a large number of information related to the Atlantic barrier.

In addition, there are those that are very active in the south of France - the Fighting France, the Free Shooters, and the Liberation Front. These three later merged to form the United Resistance (MUR) with Charles de Gaulle as its boss. This MUR also formed the Secret Army (AS), which was led by General Dressland, who had served as commander of the army before the fall of France.

The secret army was quite formidable, and according to the aforementioned Fullené, by 1943 it had grown to a force of 241,350 men (most of whom were unarmed, of course).

However, the people of the secret army are still very awesome, such as the famous French national hero Jean. Moulin. This brother was a die-hard supporter of de Gaulle, constantly cheering for him in France, and he made an important contribution to the cooperation between the resistance groups.

But this one lets. Moulin's end was more tragic, in order to unite the resistance groups in northern France. Moulin organized a parliament of resistance in Paris, but the meeting on June 9, 1943, became a complete tragedy. not only indirectly led to the arrest of Moulin, but also directly trapped General de Lestriand, the most important leader of the secret army in France.

After General Dressland's arrest, Moulin suspected that there was a traitor within the secret army, so he held a secret army summit near Lyon instead. Shortly after his arrival in Lyon, however, he received a small note asking him to go to a park to meet with the leaders of the Resistance. However, what Moulin did not expect was that this was a trap set by a traitor, and soon after arriving at the park, he was killed by Klaus, the head of the German Gestapo and known as the butcher of Lyon. Babi arrested. After that, Moulin withstood the test of continuous torture and did not confess anything, because his injuries were too severe, and he died in a German concentration camp on July 8 of that year.

Of course, this is a historical thing, in this time and space, in order to make de Gaulle more powerful. According to Li Xiaofeng's instructions, the KGB took special care of Moulin and Dresterland, and rescued them from the clutches of the Gestapo at the last moment.

Therefore, at this time, the traitors within the secret army were eliminated, and Moulin also successfully crumpled the resistance organization in northern France into a whole, and the power was much greater than in history, which indirectly helped de Gaulle to accumulate prestige.
