Chapter 901 TV

"I think we can let go!" Zhang Chi said after Eisenhower said the complete combat plan with great pleasure. .

"Let go? How to do it?" Eisenhower asked.

"It is no secret for the Germans to attack northern France, right!" Zhang Chi asked.

"Of course!" Eisenhower nodded.

This is for sure. You must know that at this time, American soldiers had gathered millions of people in the UK, and a large number of resources were continuously transported... Even fools knew that a war to land in northern France was about to come.

"So, what are we waiting for?" Zhang Chi pointed to France on the map and said: "Look at these German troops. Although they only have forty divisions in northern France, there are more than a dozen divisions in Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries. There are 18 divisions stationed on the south bank of the Loire River. As long as the Germans are willing, these troops can gather in northern France at any time and become our trouble. In addition, there are cement, steel bars, wood, ammunition, grain, etc. used by the Germans to build fortifications, all of which are transported from all directions to Rommel through France's basically intact railways and roads... Don't you think we should do something?"

Eisenhower nodded when he heard this: "Are you talking about bombing the French paralyzed Germans' traffic lines?"

"Yes!"

Before, the Allies had been worried about exposing their strategic intentions too early, so they did not dare to do so. But now, the German army already knew the Allies' strategic intentions and were actively preparing, so why did they still hide their teasing? All the Allies needed to do was not let the German army know where to attack.

After thinking about it, Eisenhower said, "Yes, why not?"

So the Allied bombing on France began soon.

The purpose is to paralyze the German transportation system, so the code name is "Transport".

It is not difficult to do this, because the target of Allied bombing is France... French people can become Allied spies at any time. They provide very accurate information to the Allied forces, and even a small road bridge on the road is not spared.

On the other hand, in order to prepare for the Normandy landing, the United States and Britain gathered a large number of fighter jets and bombers in the United Kingdom, which was just used in this plan.

Especially this mission is aimed at paralyzing the German transportation line, and its target is the entire France... So not only fighter jets taken from Britain can participate in this operation, but fighter jets taken from Algiers, Italy and even Sicily joined in and bombarded France in an indiscriminate manner. In just over a dozen days, France's transportation line almost blows up.

The results of the battle were quickly counted... These results were also provided by the French people:

The bridges from the Seine River north of Paris were destroyed, and all railway transportation was blocked. Originally, Germany had 2,000 available locomotives in France, 1,500 of which were blown up, and the other 500 were also buried in the suspense road because the railway was blown up and the transportation was too dangerous... It was no longer safe to stay in the railway station, because the Allies would soon get news at which trains stopped at any time.

This caused the German army's railway transportation to plummet, and the Germans tried to concentrate cars instead of bombed railways to transport key military necessities. The problem was that cars were seriously insufficient and the highways and cars were also at risk of being bombed.

This not only prevented the German army from obtaining sufficient steel bars, cement and other fortifications on the coastline, but also forced Rommel to separate half of the workers who built fortifications to repair railways and roads... So, it undoubtedly delayed the progress of the German army's project to a large extent.

This made Rommel jump straight into anger, but he had no choice but to do anything about this situation.

When the Germans were exhausted by Allied fighter jets, Zhang Chi was watching TV leisurely in the command of the Zoaf Corps... This is one of the benefits of going to England, and you can watch TV.

In places like Africa, although it is not difficult to get a TV with Zhang Chi's power, the problem is that there is no signal there at all.

Of course, it is the war period now, so most of the TV broadcasts are news and war-related programs, such as some retired soldiers telling their combat experiences, and some experts predicting the direction of war, etc.

Zhang Chi turned the frequency modulator boredly and changed the channel... The TV still didn't have a remote control at this time.

Then De Gaulle suddenly appeared on the TV screen.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, then stepped back and sat back on the chair and listened to the following.

"British allies!" Charles de Gaullego on TV raised his fists and shouted with emotion: "Please believe that 'Fighting France' will continue to stand in the anti-fascist camp to the end, and the French team has also achieved remarkable victory. We fight bravely in Algeria and fight hard in Sicily..."

Hearing this, Zhang Chi was so surprised that his chin almost fell off.

Charles de Gaulle was playing a word game. He first said "fighting France" and then said "French Team".

Yes, what he said was the truth.

The French team who won the battle in Algeria and Sicily was indeed the French team of the Algiers government... When Charles de Gaulle said this, everyone would take it for granted that this was the achievement of "fighting France"!

"Dingling..." At this time, the phone on the desk rang.

The call was General Giro, who obviously saw Charles de Gaulle's speech, so General Giro said angrily: "How can these shameless people, how can they bring our record into their names like this? This is stealing, robbery! We cannot allow them to do this, and... I believe that people will not be fooled so easily, do you think so? They all know that those battles were fought by us and the Algiers government!"

"No, general!" Zhang Chi replied: "I believe that not many people can tell the difference between the 'Algiers government' and 'Fighting France'. In fact... they don't care about this. They only care about whether the war against the Germans was victorious or failed. What's more, this is Britain, and the British obviously support 'Fighting France'!"

Just as General Giro said before, he did not often watch TV or newspapers, so he did not know the importance of the media.

In fact, many truths will be buried because of prejudiced media reports. The same thing is expressed in different words... Two completely opposite conclusions will appear in the audience's ears, and media people are very good at playing this game.
