General Giro obviously did not realize one thing: his status in the Algiers government was entirely based on American support.

On the one hand, General Giro is using the United States, and on the other hand, he wants to get rid of the United States... If it is just a small move, it's fine. The United States may be deemed invisible, but if it involves fundamental interests, such as even wanting to remove the Chinese army from the Zoafu Corps, it is asking for trouble.

In the afternoon of the same day, Colonel Louis, the commander of the US Seventh Air Force stationed in Algiers, announced that the Seventh Air Force would break away from the command of the Algiers government and obey Major General Zhang Chi of the Chinese army.

This immediately caused a stir in the Algiers government and even the entire Algeria... because it almost meant that the Algiers government would lose American air protection, which would undoubtedly lead to the Toulon fleet being wiped out.

No one knows why Americans do this, only General Giro knows it.

Because this is actually telling everyone... the United States has abandoned Algiers, or rather, it is not supporting General Giro.

When General Giro heard this news, his face turned pale with a "swish". Of course he knew what this meant. Although he was the commander-in-chief of the Army and Air Force, the Air Force was the American Air Force, and the military power of the Army was in the hands of General Zhu An. Once the American Air Force was separated, he would be nothing.

General Giro's first reaction was to call Eisenhower: "General, you can't do this. We need the cover of these airlines. Algiers need them!"

"I don't understand, General Giro!" Eisenhower pretended to be confused: "I did not order the air force to leave Algiers, they are still at Algiers' Air Force Base, aren't they?"

"But you handed over the command to the Chinese!" General Giro was furious.

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Eisenhower replied: "The combat experience of the Chinese army is beyond doubt. I don't think I need to remind you of this. It can even be said that your victory was achieved under the guidance of the Chinese army. In addition, Major General Zhang Chi also has experience in commanding the air force and even fleets. He has outstanding achievements in coordinated combat such as sea, air, land, and air, and you... from the battle of attacking the Mares defense line, I know that you have no relevant experience. To be honest, I think it is very dangerous to hand over the American air force to your command!"

"But..." General Giro said: "That is the French fleet, the French army, and you hand over the air force that France needs to command the Chinese army..."

"General!" Eisenhower interrupted General Giro without hesitation: "I have to remind you that it is the American air force, and it is up to me to decide who I want to give it to. At the same time, I have to remind you that the Chinese army is our ally, and my decision is to defeat the enemy better!"

As he said that, Eisenhower hung up the phone, leaving only General Giro stunned on the head.

Although General Giro was short-sighted, he was not stupid either. After thinking about it, he quickly figured it out... This must be related to what he said to Zhang Chi, and his actions made the Americans unhappy.

The more I think about it, the more I feel it is. Moreover, if the American Air Force is commanded by the Chinese army, will it also mean that it will be driven away with the American Air Force...

Thinking of this, General Giro did not dare to neglect, he immediately called Zhang Chi, but it was a temporary line.

After dialing several times, it was finally connected.

Zhang Chi explained: "Sorry, General. He was talking to the airline team Louis just now. You know, we need to discuss the coordination matters!"

"No, Major General!" General Giro replied: "I should apologize, forget my previous words..."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand!" Zhang Chi was pretending to be confused.

"Look, I don't know much about the current situation of the army!" General Giro said: "Fortunately, General Zhuan reminded me, and he said, how can the Chinese army be left? The Zoafu Corps needs them, otherwise the soldiers of the Zoafu Corps will not be able to fight on the battlefield and win!"

"So this is the matter!" Zhang Chi replied: "Sorry, General! I was discussing with the staff about taking back the military adviser from the Zoafu Corps. I think you are right. The battlefield here does not belong to us..."

"No, no, it's not like this!" General Giro wanted to give himself a mouth: "Please stay, this is our common war, isn't it? We should unite!"

"No, General!" Zhang Chi refused, "I think you need to ask for another clever one!"

As he said that, Zhang Chi hung up the phone.

Of course, Zhang Chi did not really refuse, but because he knew that it was time to get benefits from France and did not show any sincerity... Why did he let the Chinese army train the Zoafu Corps for the French army?!

Of course, General Giro had no interest in training the Zoafu Corps. He was short-sighted and knew that he could hold the military power. As for whether he could win a battle... the Allies were worried about it. The Zoafu Corps followed behind and fought. Once the war ended, because he held the military power in his hand, he could naturally become the supreme leader of France.

The problem is that this situation has left him without even the power of military power.

Therefore, General Giro had the desire to the United States, and thus had the desire to the Zhang Chi.

But even Zhang Chi himself didn't know what he needed, or what he could get from General Giro.

equipment?

American equipment can be said to be what Zhang Chi wants. Those shabby French equipment is not attractive to Zhang Chi at all!

money?

It should be said that the expeditionary force was no longer short of money at this time, because Okinawa was already producing the strategic special funds needed by the United States in batches, which brought countless wealth. At this time, France's financial resources were probably not even comparable to Okinawa.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi no longer had any trouble, and he still made the troublesome people who should be troubled. Even Zhang Chi thought a little... No matter what benefits General Giro would give, he didn't really want to withdraw from the Zoafu Corps, and he would just pretend to be impressed.

At the same time, General Giro is also considering the same issue. What should we use to retain the Chinese troops?
