When Zhang Chi heard this, he understood what Eisenhower meant: the Chinese army was appointed as the military adviser of the Zoafu Corps and trained them, but in fact he controlled the actual command of the Zoafu Corps.

But it is inappropriate to do this by the US military, because the French generals are very cautious about major powers such as Britain and the United States, and even Charles de Gaulle is no exception.

This is determined by the "crimes" committed by Britain against France before, so they are all worried that Britain and the United States will split France, that is, let France have two regimes and fight each other to be strong... This is what Britain and the United States often do during World War II. For example, after World War II, they split North Korea into South Korea and North Korea, split India into India and Pakistan, and at the same time leave some unexplained dividing lines between each other.

The reason is very simple. Only when the division is divided can it not be strong. Only when other countries are not strong can it be in line with the interests of Britain and the United States. Only when these countries fight each other, Britain and the United States can gain benefits from both sides and make a fortune in war.

At this time they had this idea about France, and Charles de Gaulle was a smart man, and he was always on guard against this.

but……

"I don't understand, General!" Zhang Chi said: "You have General Giro, don't you?"

Eisenhower smiled and shook his head: "Do you remember when you were airborne in Algiers, many judges helped you?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.

The Expeditionary Force received help from the French army when it was airborne. Zhang Chi still remembers that the French captain at the airport was Ding Beck.

"Most of them were arrested!" Eisenhower said: "Including Captain Dinbaker!"

"What? Why?" Zhang Chi was shocked, because he didn't even know about this and needed Eisenhower to tell him.

"It was General Giro's order!" Eisenhower said: "You understand the reason!"

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi understood.

General Giro was actually not willing to be controlled by others, and those judges who helped the Allies land in Algiers... They were undoubtedly pro-US means that the United States used to control and restrain General Giro. General Giro believed that he had great hope of leading the Algiers government in the near future, so he wanted to eliminate these "means" and do it alone.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but shake his head. General Giro was too anxious. He was not yet rich at this time and was eager to draw a clear line with the United States...

"Everything is clear!" Eisenhower said: "This is why we need you, so you should continue to stay in Africa instead of going back. You can play a bigger role here, and I believe it will be much more important than you imagined! As for your interests..."

As he said that, Eisenhower turned his gaze to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi understood the meaning of Eisenhower's expression. The United States is a big business power, and everything is about doing business. The Chinese troops control the Zoafu Corps for the United States. Then it is time for Zhang Chi to bid.

"It's very simple!" Zhang Chi replied: "You know, we need to develop, and technical talents are indispensable for development. I hope to get more technology from the United States. If possible, we will also dig out some talents from Germany!"

This was actually Zhang Chi's intention long ago, because he knew that the introduction of talents from Germany would definitely not be concealed by the United States. After all, the air force and navy of the Expeditionary Force were trained by the US military at this time.

"That's all?" Eisenhower was a little surprised because he felt that these were not worth mentioning at all, and even China's development itself was beneficial to the United States.

"That's all!" said Zhang Chi.

"Very good!" Eisenhower said: "You know, I don't have the right to decide. I will pass on our conversation to President Roosevelt and he will reply to you. But I believe that there will be no problem!"

As he said that, Eisenhower shook hands with Zhang Chi: "Happy conversation, look forward to seeing you next time!"

When Zhang Chi returned to her apartment it was already afternoon and dinner time.

Before talking to Eisenhower, he didn't think there was anything between these French generals, they were still talking and laughing as usual.

But at this time, he found that the generals' expressions seemed a little unnatural, and they were a little cautious in their words, as if they were afraid that if they said something wrong, they would reveal their inner thoughts, even General Zhu An was the same.

At this time, General Giro cleared his throat and said, "Gentlemen, do you know? I just received a telegram from London, England, sent by General Charles de Gaulle, and he asked me to meet him!"

The generals were stunned, and then Drabad asked, "General Charles de Gaulle, did you say that it was because of what happened?"

In fact, there is no need to ask at all, it is definitely just a discussion on leadership.

But of course politicians wouldn't say that.

"Yes!" General Giro said: "General Charles de Gaulle believes that now we should unite all the French forces so that we can attack the fascist Axis more powerfully!"

"How does the general respond?" asked Drabad.

"I refused!" General Giro said: "Because I think the time is not yet ripe!"

Then the generals stopped talking.

General Giro's words actually expressed his leadership.

If we talk about the real power here, it should be that Delabird controls the navy, General Juan controls the army, and General Giro is nominally the commander-in-chief of the army and air, but his actual influence is limited, just because he has the support of the United States behind him, and now no one dares to offend the United States, especially when the airspace in Algeria still needs protection of American fighter jets.

General Giro has a bit of a fake tiger's power, but it should be admitted that he did it very successfully, at least neither Drabad nor General Juan clearly expressed his opposition.

So General Giro raised his wine glass with some satisfaction and said, "Come on, let's have a drink, for France and for victory!"

"For France!"

"For victory!"

...

When Zhang Chi calmed down alone, he felt a headache when he thought of these things.

What makes Zhang Chi the most uneasy is whether he accidentally changed the direction of history?

The key factor is the Toulon fleet...

Historically, the Toulon fleet ended with self-sinking. Although this was tragic, it also led to the complete disappointment of the French people with the Vichy government or the Algiers regime extended by the Vichy government, because they believed that the French people handed over so much and such good equipment to them, but they were self-sinking in addition to surrendering.
