Chapter 802 Command Power

An hour later, Charles de Gaulle's convoy arrived on time, and they were also escorted by the American soldiers' convoy, and Charles de Gaulle seemed very unhappy about this.

So when he walked into the conference room, he said to General Giro with rudeness: "Hey, General Giro, what's going on? I have suggested to you many times, and the location is for you to choose. Why do you want me to talk to you in this barbed wire between foreigners and China? You must know that this is the territory of France. Don't you think this is a bit hateful from the perspective of nationality?"

Zhang Chi thought to himself that De Gaulle was indeed not simple, and he occupied the moral commanding heights from the beginning.

General Giro seemed a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, because he really wanted to rely on the power of the United States.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi took a little step forward and continued, "General Charles de Gaulle, this is Morocco, it is the original colony of France, not the territory. Moreover, it is difficult for me to understand that you actually used the word "hatred". God... The Allies helped you liberate Morocco from the hands of the Germans, and now they are doing their best to protect your safety. The general not only did not say a word of thanks, but instead called it "hatred"... Do you mean that you would not have to liberate France in the future?"

This is where Charles de Gaulle was arrogant. He naturally thought that the territory (colonies) that once belonged to France would always belong to France, even if these colonies had been stolen by other countries during the war.

De Gaulle was stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhang Chi and asked, "This is..."

"This is General Zhang Chi, the Chinese Major General!" General Giro explained: "At the same time, he is also a military adviser to the Zoafu Corps!"

"So it's Major General Zhang Chi!" A trace of surprise flashed in Charles Charles' eyes: "I have seen your deeds on many occasions, but I didn't expect to meet you here. I'm very happy to see you!"

"So too!" Zhang Chi replied politely.

Perhaps because of Zhang Chi, the atmosphere was still harmonious... so Zhang Chi was a little unimaginable. If he was not present, the weak General Giro would not know what he would be fiddled with by Charles de Gaulle.

But this seems normal, just as the French people used to describe the Vichy government: "Even if sheep are given sharp fangs and claws, they will not bite people."

General Giro was originally a member of the Vichy government. He was accustomed to surrendering to his enemies and would only be ashamed of being in front of his own people or allies.

From this point of view, Zhang Chi really didn't want to support someone like General Giro, but he had to do so.

The reason is very simple. A strong and capable French leader is not in the interests of the expeditionary force... If Charles de Gaulle succeeds, then he will probably get more benefits from France.

What made Zhang Chi a little collapse was that General Giro actually talked loudly about the story of his escape from the Germans, that is, Goghisden... Zhang Chi has heard this story less than a hundred times, and he never thought it could be boasted about, but General Giro kept it on his lips.

"For the merger of the two armies..." De Gaulle showed great patience. After listening to General Giro's narrative, he finally found an opportunity to get to the point.

"General De Gaulle!" General Giro interrupted De Gaulle: "I am a soldier, I just want to fight... I don't want to engage in politics, do you understand? I never listen to anyone explaining any theory or program to me. I don't read any newspaper or radio..."

It is obviously fake not to read newspapers, because General Giro had displayed newspapers in the conference room before.

General Giro's implicit meaning was that he did not want to hear the so-called national unity and freedom of France. What he wanted was very direct, which was to lead troops to fight and win.

"Oh, very good!" De Gaulle replied: I found another common point. It just so happened that I didn't talk about theories and programs, I also wanted to fight..."

As he said that, De Gaulle leaned back easily: "We have a common goal, General Giro, we also have an army in our hands. We can fight back to France faster and better to liberate France, so that we can all live with honor and dignity. The question is... how should we fight?"

De Gaulle's words pointed directly at the command of the merger of the two armies.

General Giro nodded, he was already prepared.

Of course, this was a preparation instructed by the United States. He took a document from his assistant's bag and handed it to Charles de Gaulle, saying, "I suggest we should fight like this!"

This is a merger plan, which recommends that "Fight France" and the Algiers government form a committee, with General Giro and General Charles de Gaulle jointly chairing a committee, in which both of them are equal in all aspects, and the same is true for the other members.

However, General Giro must hold the highest command of the military, and Norgas, Juan, Delabird and others will still retain their original positions and will also participate in the committee.

Charles de Gaulle flipped through the plan and couldn't help but smile.

It is obvious that this plan is completely biased towards the Algiers government, and other places seem fair. The chairman of the committee is jointly held by General Giro and General Charles de Gaulle, but the worst thing is that "General Giro holds the supreme command of the military"!

Everyone knows the principle that the gun comes from power. If you don’t have military power, will what you say still have weight?

"Sorry, I don't think you can have all the command!" said Charles de Gaulle. "'Fighting France' only obeys my command, and they have many achievements. They firmly believe that under my leadership, the final victory will be achieved!"

"We have a victory in Dagang!" General Giro was not willing to be outdone.

"That was just a victory!" Charles de Gaulle replied: "And your previous performance... is really uneasy. My subordinates and I, all the members of the 'Fight France', and even all the French who advocate freedom, will not be assured to hand over the command to you!"

Charles de Gaulle represented all the French.

But General Giro was still frightened because the French people were indeed very dissatisfied with the Vichy government. The marches and demonstrations were held again and again before, which made the Vichy government very troubled, so General Giro obviously did not possess public opinion.

"Can I emphasize one thing?" Zhang Chi said.

"Please say!" Although Charles de Gaulle was a little reluctant, he still showed his demeanor.

"I just want to know..." Zhang Chi said: "Who will supply the supplies and equipment after the two armies merge in the future?"
