In fact, General Giro should say this... He is one step closer to the throne of the French president.

This logical relationship is very simple. The stronger combat effectiveness of the Zoaf Corps means that the Algiers government can gain more reputation in future wars, or it can also be explained by the will of the French citizens, so General Giro's hope of defeating De Gaulle and seizing power was greater.

From this point of view, General Giro's fate is also associated with the Zoafu Corps.

Zhang Chi just smiled at this. What General Giro didn't know was that... these arsenals might be able to make General Giro, but at the same time they would also cause France to suffer a lot.

Of course, this is a matter of the future. General Giro, who is so short-sighted, would not have thought that far away.

One thing that is certain is that the Zoaf Corps achieved remarkable victory in the Battle of Sicily, and the effects it produced were gradually reflected.

The most direct point is that there are many voices supporting the Algiers government in France... They have almost one-sidedly supported De Gaulle, and many people even publicly condemned the Algiers government under De Gaulle's very inflammatory speech. For example, French people living abroad rushed to Algiers and shouted outside General Giro's office:

"For France, you should be incorporated into 'Fight France'!"

"What we want is to liberate France and return to our homeland as soon as possible!"

"You cannot ignore the interests of the country for your own selfishness!"

...

Of course, it is not ruled out that this may be a trick de Gaulle made, or at least it was incited by the people he sent, with the purpose of creating a momentum and atmosphere.

General Giro and others were very depressed in this atmosphere, and they were even helpless about this "demonstration".

Let them not worry about it, the entire Algiers government staff must work under their shouts, and the shouts sometimes become psychological hints, which eventually led to many Algiers government officers naturally linking "incorporating into the Charles de Gaulle government" with "national interests", as if the Algiers government was to be incorporated into the Charles de Gaulle government for granted. If they did not do so, they would "disregard the national interests for the sake of the one-self." They did not expect that the Charles de Gaulle government would not be incorporated into the Algiers government, but also "disregard the national interests for the sake of the one-self."

This is a bit like the modern advertising effect.

Advertising does not need to be too creative or exquisite. It only needs to shout boring lines over and over again, and do not tire of fatigue bombing every day to interject dozens of times. This is the most effective. Although the audience is annoyed to see it, they will still choose the things in the advertisement without thinking when selecting similar products in the supermarket... Fatigue bombing has deeply implanted it into people's subconscious.

General Giro had tried to disperse them or even arrest them, but this was obviously inappropriate.

First of all, even the Vichy government before allowed the people to demonstrate and march. If the current Algiers government still practices violence, it will definitely cause a strong backlash from French public opinion, and then Yu Yan and Yu Lie will be out of control.

Secondly, if you do this, you can imagine that this is exactly what De Gaulle hopes for. Then De Gaulle will use this to promote it and then set off a wave of condemning General Giro's surrender.

Therefore, all French officials of the Algiers government, including General Giro, were very embarrassed about this, and this problem can even be said to be unsolvable.

Of course, some people think of using their own way to cure others, that is, sending some people to the office of "Fighting France" to shout slogans. General Giro did do this... but the result is conceivable.

You should know that at this time, most French people were standing on Charles de Gaulle's side and sent to "Fight France" to shout slogans... When the people around him heard it, they looked at them with incredible expressions, and then a group of people gathered to argue with them, and even touched them. So these "spy" who were responsible for the heavy responsibility soon escaped in shame.

This seemingly unsolvable problem improved after the Battle of Sicily... On the day when a division of the Zoafu Army interspersed like a divine weapon from heaven and successfully occupied Palermo, many French expatriates gathered outside the Algiers government to cheer:

"Good job, Zoafu Corps!"

"You have achieved great victory!"

...

General Giro also took the opportunity to seize this opportunity and took to the streets and gave a speech to these expatriates with great affection: "All compatriots who love France, believe us... we are completely different from the Vichy government. We have proved this with facts, and we will also prove to you that we have the ability to liberate France and give France freedom and honor, and each of us will return to our motherland with honor!"

The people cheered quickly. They wanted to win too much, to be precise, they wanted to win a decent victory. General Giro satisfies this, but the Charles de Gaulle government on the other side still does nothing... In fact, the troops that "fighted France" were defeated by the German armored division when fighting with the British army.

So soon those who shouted slogans lost the market.

Soon after, things began to turn around. When someone came to the Algiers government again to shout slogans of opposition, the passionate and impulsive French youth gathered around to question:

"Didn't you see what the battle of Sicily would be like? Why did you let the Algiers government incorporate into 'Fight France' instead of the other way around?"

"Yes, don't you think it's ridiculous to let a winning army obey the command of a defeated army?"

...

The two sides argued endlessly, and finally developed into a group fight... Don't underestimate these passionate young people in France. They were all groups of people who were eager to regain their dignity under the shame of France's defeat, so they were very impulsive. When Zhang Chi instigated the rebellion of Algiers, things were deadlocked because of Darlang. After the news was released, these passionate young people in France even surrounded Darlang's command center with pistols and knives...

Their purpose was to force Darlang to join the Allies, but the pistols and table knife obviously did not work.

At this time, although public opinion has not yet turned to the point where it has completely turned to the Algiers government, it has obviously improved.
