Chapter 902 Prohibition Order

"Can we contact a certain TV station?" General Giro asked: "Or which newspaper, let us refute Charles de Gaulle, or clarify, to say at least those battles were fought rather than ‘fighting France'!"

Zhang Chi thought about it and replied: "I don't think we will find such a media, because it is Britain and it is a war period!"

"I don't agree!" General Giro replied: "The media has their freedom, and this is Britain!"

Then General Giro did exactly that. A few days later he rushed from Algiers to England, taking his government with him... and then contacted the newspapers and TV stations.

But all General Giro's efforts were like a rock sinking into the sea without any echo.

"This is ridiculous!" said General Giro: "How could they do this?!"

"No, this is normal!" Zhang Chi replied: "If it were another time, it might be inappropriate to do so, but now it is an extraordinary moment!"

"What extraordinary moment?" General Giro's face was full of anger: "Any time they should give us the right to speak, what is the difference between this and fascism?"

"War, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "Because you are worried about leaking the secret!"

General Giro talks about ideals, while Zhang Chi talks about reality.

The so-called freedom of speech is just a thing to coax people in peacetime.

At this time, especially when both sides of the enemy and us are at a slightest risk of affecting the results because of one intelligence, it will become a bit pedantic to talk about freedom of speech.

Therefore, Eisenhower was in charge of the implementation of news inspections as soon as he took office. He did not want news reporters to accidentally write something that would become a clue for the enemy to judge major military actions.

Therefore, no matter who it is, every manuscript, every telegram and telex, let alone TV programs, they must be strictly inspected and approved before they can be published.

This gave great convenience to the British side, and they could use the powers of checking manuscripts to easily kill the "scream" about the Algiers government in the cradle.

In fact, this is nothing. At this time, Britain even issued a ban because it was worried that German spies would mingle among tourists to reconnaise the Allies, and even issued a ban: non-military transportation between southern England and other areas was stopped. Except for doctors, special staff and a few licensed staff, everyone was not allowed to take trains, cars and other means of transportation to southern England, that is, all passenger buses were stopped.

Of course, if you want to walk or ride a bike, no one can limit you, but walking or cycling is strange and easy to get caught.

After a while of struggle, General Giro realized that he was doing useless work.

So he could only say to Zhang Chi dejectedly: "What should we do now? Are we just watching "Fight France" plagiarize our victory fruits? I even heard someone shamelessly treating these victory as the record of "Fight France"! God... they were defeated in Sicily, how could they do this?"

General Giro is naive at this point, and of course, he does everything in politics.

Some things, although they were discovered later on, were indeed mistakes or intentional mistakes, but the benefits they brought to "Fighting France" have become a reality, and it is too late to correct them.

Therefore, things like "justice can always be declared", "axioms can always be maintained", and "heroes can always defeat opponents" will only exist in TV series or novels.

The closest thing to us: the United States launched a war against Iraq on the grounds that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, but after the capture of Iraq, no weapons of mass destruction were found at all.

Is this error corrected? Is the axiom maintained?

Not!

Not only has it been corrected, the United States is also taking great measures against Iraq's oil in the future... Who can do it?!

"Major General!" Seeing that Zhang Chi did not speak, General Giro asked again: "What should we do? Should we just do nothing?"

"Yes, we do nothing!" Zhang Chi replied.

"How can that be done?" General Giro replied: "If this is the case in Britain, then in France... If this is the case, how can the Algiers government have any reason to exist?"

It should be said that General Giro's concerns make sense. Since Charles de Gaulle would think of using the British media, he would naturally think of using the French media.

De Gaulle has a very advantage in this regard, because most of the "Fighting France" are French, and many of them are generals with certain power in France, while the Algiers government is a colonial force... Not to mention that the soldiers are Algerians, the officers also lived in Algeria for a long time and had no connections in France.

"So!" Zhang Chi said to General Giro: "The Zoafu Corps needs to win a victory, and it is enough to attract the attention of countries around the world!"

General Giro couldn't help but say "Oh": "Only then will the media focus on us and we have the right to speak, right?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "And, once we get the right to speak, the French people will discover the lies of "Fighting France". This is not only beneficial to us, but also a blow to "Fighting France"... This can be said to be our difficulties, or our opportunity!"

General Giro nodded.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly became happy: "Major General, I said it is impossible to hand over the team to you. Once again, we must place our hopes on the Zoafu Corps!"

Zhang Chi couldn't help but say nothing. General Giro said something simple, but the burden was overwhelming.

Of course, there is another important figure in the Zoafu Corps, that is, General Zhu An, commander-in-chief of the Corps.

However, although General Zhu An was named Commander-in-Chief, about half of the troops were under the control of Zhang Chi. More importantly... the troops controlled by Zhang Chi were still greatly improved after reform, so the key figure was still in the hands of Zhang Chi.

As the saying goes, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, so this headache eventually fell on Zhang Chi's shoulders.

In this regard, Zhang Chi really regretted saying that to General Giro... You should know that the total number of troops invested by the Allied Normandy landing reached more than two million, and the first batch of landings was 170,000.

With so many people and the first batch of landings are all elite soldiers, it is not easy for the Zoafu Corps to make its mark!
