"I don't think they can play any role in the army!" Zhang Chi said to General Zhu An: "Do you think they can play a supervisory and control role in the Zoafu Corps? No, they can do nothing except disrupt the situation and make things worse!"

General Zhu An had to admit that Zhang Chi was right.

In fact, the timid and cowardly French officers have long lost their prestige since the war... Not all French officers are like this, but most French officers in the Zoaf Corps are like this.

The reason is that the Zoafu Army is a colonial army.

There is a very serious problem with the colonial army, that is, officers and soldiers are seriously inequality in terms of power, freedom, etc.... If it is a pure French army, there is no such problem, because officers and soldiers are both French and they are equal in people.

But the officers of the Zoaf Corps were French and the soldiers were Algerian.

French officers naturally felt that they were superior, while Algerian soldiers should charge forward to block bullets for themselves, and French officers should enjoy the privilege of commanding in the rear.

This situation is not even an isolated case, and almost all French officers do this.

As the saying goes, the environment creates people. Even if the brave and fearless French people are arranged to be in the Zoaf Corps... After a period of time, they will become such people who will only make Algerian soldiers charge and hide behind them.

Therefore, as Zhang Chi said, it is completely meaningless to leave these officers in the reformed armies at this time. They are notorious and can no longer command anyone. Once the Zoafu Corps has any "conspiracy", the first thing they have to kill is these French officers.

After thinking about it, General Zhu An replied: "Let me give it a try. I mean, after discussing with General Giro, I hope he can agree to withdraw the French officer!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Chi replied: "I believe General Giro will make the right choice, otherwise I will not have the confidence to lead them to win on the battlefield!"

Zhang Chi was very confident in this because at this time, for General Giro... victory was the most important thing.

As expected, General Giro agreed quickly.

General Giro was originally opposed, and he said to General Juan: "Removing the French consultant? This is different from what the Chinese said before! I don't agree to do so!"

"General!" Zhu An persuaded: "The Chinese indeed allow French consultants to exist, but the focus of the problem is not here, but what we arrange for these consultants to get in these armies! It can stop these troops from seeking independence

Is it? Just those idiots? No, they can't stop anything, and because of their existence, the combat effectiveness of the Zoafu Corps was affected, so I think what the Chinese major general is right, and we should withdraw them. Whether it is for the Algiers government or for the poor French officers!"

General Giro also thought about it when General Zhu An said this.

In fact, this principle is not difficult to understand, but General Giro is narrow-minded and always wants to seize something on power.

So, under the order of General Giro, the last group of French officers retreated from the Third Army that was being reformed (the three reformed armies were organized into the Third Army).

Before retreating, the French officers also held a flag-lowering ceremony. They lined up and played music, looking awkwardly at their French flag slowly descending from the flag bar... After they left, Cookie would raise another flag belonging to the Zoaf Corps, although it was also a French flag.

While these French officers were driving away, Algerian soldiers cheered on both sides of the road without hesitation, and some even held guns and fired a round of congratulations. The French officers seemed a little disgraceful and left as if they were running away.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but curse. It was a bad habit of Algerians who could not ban them. They must pull out the people who fired the gun and locked him up for several days.

In fact, there is no need to "pull" at all, because those few came to "suburn" soon... They knew they could not escape, so they said to the Chinese instructor: "We don't want to, but when we are happy, we can't help but pull the trigger a few times! This is something worth celebrating, right? We finally drove the French away!"

This all means it seems that they have gained independence, which also shows how much they want to gain independence from another perspective.

As soon as the French officer left, the atmosphere in the barracks became much more harmonious, but it was really impossible to say "easy"...

At this time, the Zoafu Corps had been fully equipped with American weapons.

Of course, these American weapons were not produced by the Algiers arsenal... The arsenal is still under construction, and it will take some time for mass production of equipment.

However, because these arsenals had given General Giro the confidence, they were relieved to let the Zoafu Corps change their clothes.

This is not a matter of two or a half for the Americans. A batch of arms were quickly transported from the country, including many brand new half-track armored vehicles and "Sheerman" tanks.

In Eisenhower's words, it is: "The United States does not lack weapons. What the United States lacks is the people who use these weapons to fight the enemy. Anyone... as long as he is willing to fight our enemies, we will give them weapons without hesitation!"

Look, the American style of behavior is "atmosphere" and "simple", which is in sharp contrast to General Giro's drag.

It is precisely because of these equipment that they will start to attack Italy soon, so Zhang Chi quickly trained the Third Army.

Zhang Chi doesn't want the reputation of "reform" to be smashed so quickly.

As a result, there were many sounds of commands and gunfire sounds everywhere in the military camp.

As for the tanks... because they were the first batch, the Americans only gave them thirty vehicles.

Thirty tanks could not play any role in the battlefield at all, so Zhang Chi did not intend to form any armored troops, but they were evenly distributed to each army for training... Each army had only ten, and the number was indeed a little smaller, but as long as it was reasonable to arrange, such as taking turns to make trouble in time periods, it was barely enough.

In this way, a group of tank crew can be trained to prepare for equipping more tanks in the future.
