The situation is obviously more complicated now.

The successful preservation of the Toulon fleet and the successful victory of the Algiers Provisional Government commanded the French colonial army... This victory was even decisive. On the one hand, it threatened the German defense line west of Tunisia and used the fleet to attack the Dagang to cut off the German retreat, which directly caused the collapse of the 200,000 German and Italian troops stationed in Tunisia, including the famous African Legion of Rommel.

So this gave the French people an illusion that the French African troops were very powerful, so it was said that the Algiers government was different from the Vichy government, and they would bring victory and liberation to France.

In other words, this is prestige.

If the Vichy government in history has lost the trust of the French people in their lives due to failure and weakness again and again... Just like many French people describe the Vichy government: "Even if you give a pair of fangs and claws, it will not bite people!"

Indeed, the image of the Vichy government in history is almost like this. From the "Magino" defense line, they disappointed the French people. After surrendering and enduring humiliation, they would inevitably be occupied by Germany in the end. Especially the fleet, which claimed to be the fourth most powerful in the world, ended its mission without launching a shot. This finally made the French people stand on the side of Charles de Gaulle in a desperate situation.

However, the French people were surprised to see that the "sheep" began to "bite people" and it was fatal. So, for granted, many people stood on the side of the Vichy government or the Algiers government... At this time, the French people were most eager to win, liberation, and defeat the Germans to wash away the shame. They would support whoever could lead them to get these.

Therefore, the Algiers government, which was originally at an absolute disadvantage in prestige, can now be equal to the Charles de Gaulle government.

This is probably why Charles de Gaulle was eager to meet with General Giro and discuss the merger of the two governments... If things continue to develop like this, as the Algiers government wins more and more battles, the prestige becomes higher and more people follow the Algiers government, then there will be nothing else in Charles de Gaulle.

Just as he was thinking, Zhang Qingyu knocked outside and reported: "General, General Giro is here!"

"Oh, please come in!" Zhang Chi stood up to greet General Giro who was opening the door with a smile on his face. Now General Giro was proud. From the bare general who was not a soldier, he jumped into a commander-in-chief who commanded the 200,000 army and a powerful navy.

"Major General, I have to thank you for everything you did!" After the two sat on the sofa, General Giro complimented Zhang Chi as usual: "If we hadn't been to you, we would never have achieved the results we have today. You have let us and even France see hope and hope for victory!"

"I'm just doing what I should do, General!" Zhang Chi replied humbly.

He knew that he should compliment General Giro in this regard. For example, if he can achieve today's achievements, the leadership of General Giro is indispensable. After all, General Giro is now in the Algiers government and it is not harmful to say something good, but Zhang Chi really doesn't want to be incompatible with his conscience.

"Major General!" General Giro took a sip of the red wine on the table, and then said, "I wanted to talk to you a long time ago, just like what I had been on the side before, so there are many things I think we should reach an agreement first!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied in a bad mood.

He knew what General Giro meant, and this means that General Giro and Zhang Chi had one thing in common, that is, they all had the support of the United States behind them.

But Zhang Chi knew that in fact, General Giro wanted to get rid of the United States, just like he arrested a pro-American French official... He didn't even say anything to Zhang Chi.

"Don't you know what major general has plans for the next?" General Giro asked: "I mean, the war in Africa has been won. I think it will definitely be used in places where it is needed more!"

Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this. It seemed that the United States did not tell General Giro and their intentions.

But this seems normal. The United States does not want to leave any talk of interfering in France's internal affairs.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi replied: "I don't have any plans yet!"

Zhang Chi is not a fool. Judging from General Giro's tone, he obviously did not want the Zhongzhao team to continue to be the military adviser of the Zoafu Corps... The reason is obvious, this will affect his control over the Zoafu Corps.

"So can I give a suggestion to the Major General?"

"Please say, General!"

"Why don't you go back to your country?" General Giro said: "I heard that you are still fighting against the Japanese in your country. God... If it weren't for our France, we were also invaded by the Germans, I really hope to lead our troops to help you! Oh, we have found another common point, right? Just like the country has been invaded by those war madmen!"

As he said that, General Giro raised his glass: "For victory!"

Zhang Chi nodded and replied: "Yes, I will consider the general's suggestion. I think my soldiers must also want to go back!"

"Yes, this is what I'm talking about!" General Giro said: "Of course I can understand your mood, just like us, thinking about returning to France all the time!"

Then there was a lot of polite words from "Bara Bara". If Zhang Chi hadn't known that General Giro's purpose was to drive the Zhongzhao team out of the Zoafu Corps, he really thought General Giro was talking about the past as a friend.

After finally sending General Giro away, Zhang Chi sent Eisenhower a telegram... This was the connection established before Eisenhower left. In the future, Zhang Chi no longer needed to contact the United States through Halsey.

The general idea of ​​the telegram is that General Giro does not welcome the Chinese team to continue to stay in Africa. To be precise, he does not want the Chinese team to be the adviser of the Zoafu Corps.

In fact, Zhang Chi believes that this is a manifestation of General Jiluo's short-sightedness.

You should know that the reason why the Algiers government can achieve its current reputation and vaguely surpasses the momentum of the Charles de Gaulle government is due to Zhang Chi's guidance and the support of the Chinese team.

But now, just a few small victories have been achieved, General Giro can't wait to drive away these Chinese advisers who can make the growth of the Zoafu Corps.
