The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Therefore, to a certain extent, Darlan, who is regarded as a traitor by most French people, is the real hero who saves France from danger, because he did achieve the goal of keeping France in Germany and France for a long period of time. Striking a balance between Britain and the United States, although in the end he had to make a choice.

The French resistance collapsed after the Germans used several captured armored vehicles... The guards had almost no heavy weapons, and they were targets in front of the armored vehicles.

When Colonel Slain walked into the headquarters under the cover of Qin Chuan and others, Darlan sat neatly at his desk and said, "Congratulations, despicable British people, you have once again successfully attacked us!"

"Sorry, General!" Colonel Slain replied in stiff English: "But we are Germans!"

"What?" Darlan was stunned and quickly understood. He stood up from his chair and said, "France cannot tolerate your behavior. We signed an armistice agreement!"

"Yes, General!" said Colonel Slain, "but you tore up the armistice, and we have to do this!"

"What did you say?" Darlan asked, "We broke the agreement?"

"Yes, General!" Colonel Slaine replied: "Maybe you don't know it yet, but your men are ready to surrender to the British army!"

"This is just your excuse!" Darlan laughed.

Colonel Slain waved, and several German soldiers escorted General Cesar and Steve up.

Colonel Slaine stepped aside and said to General Darlan: "General, you can ask your subordinates what they did. If it weren't for them, our battle would not have gone so smoothly this time. This is why we put on this The reason for wearing a military uniform!”

As he spoke, he half-raised his hand and turned around, as if he was admiring the British military uniform on his body.

Darlan did not speak, but looked at General Cesar with disbelief.

But the look on General Cesar's face soon told Darlan that it was all true.

"Well done, General Cesar!" Darlan said sarcastically: "You pushed France to the cliff!"

"Hmm..." Colonel Slain said, "General, I pretended I didn't hear that!"

"Colonel!" Darlan said: "I hope you understand that this does not represent France's position!"

"Yes, we have always known!" Colonel Slaine spread his hands.

"so……"

"So we still abide by the armistice agreement!" Slaine replied: "It's just that in Algeria and Morocco... we have reason to believe that there are other forces that want to surrender to the British, so we need to eliminate them. Do you agree with this? General?"

Darlan nodded silently, this was not his decision at all.

"Very good!" Colonel Slain raised his head: "So, we need to let the 36th Infantry Division and the 155th Infantry Division stationed in Tunisia enter Algeria and conduct a comprehensive reorganization of the Zoaf Corps, General No objection!”

Darlan remained silent, knowing that Algeria and even Morocco would soon be in the hands of the German army.

"Colonel!" After thinking about it, Darlan said: "I can give up the Matre defense line, and leave the Zoav Corps to me. I will kick out those black sheep!"

This is a very tempting idea, to give up the Matre defense line... This is exactly what the German army wants.

So Colonel Slaine turned his attention to Qin Chuan beside him.

Darlan couldn't help but be stunned. He couldn't understand that the arrogant colonel in front of him actually wanted to ask a second lieutenant for his opinion.

"No, general!" Qin Chuan said: "We think the Materei Defense Line is safe in the hands of the Zoav Corps!"

Qinchuan knew what Darlan was planning... He needed to keep the Zoav Corps firmly in his hands, so that he would have the capital to save his life or negotiate with Britain and the United States in the future. Of course Qinchuan would not It was so easy for him to succeed.

"Who is this..." Darlan looked at Qin Chuan and asked.

"He is my subordinate!" Colonel Sline said, "He can represent what I mean!"

"Can it also represent Germany?" Darlan asked.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain nodded without thinking.

Then he added jokingly: "In fact, General... maybe you didn't expect that the reason why we are standing here is because of the second lieutenant's suggestion!"

Darlan couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan in shock after hearing this, with disbelief in his eyes... As a political veteran, Darlan certainly knew what the Germans were playing. He even speculated that the rebellion in Algeria was secretly carried out by the Germans. Adding fuel to the fire.

It would be terrible if... all of this was imagined by the second lieutenant in front of me.

Then Darlan stretched out his hand and said to Qin Chuan: "It's an honor to meet you, Second Lieutenant. Can I know your name?"

"Frick, general!" Qin Chuan replied.

Hearing this, Darlan couldn't help but show an expression of realization: "You are the 'legendary sergeant'!"

"You can put it that way!" Qin Chuan smiled: "I actually don't deserve this nickname!"

"No, you deserve it!" Darlan said: "Then... the Zoav Corps can still be stationed at the Matre Defense Line?"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan said.

"Aren't you worried that one day..." Darlan stopped talking at this point.

But Qin Chuan understood what Darlan meant. If the Matre Defense Line was still in the hands of the Zoaf Corps, then when the British and American troops attacked Tunisia, the Zoaf Corps could easily cut off Tunisia. With the connection with Algeria, the German troops in Tunisia will be trapped in a situation where they are attacked from both sides, and even Rommel's Afrika Korps may not be able to retreat.

"No, I'm not worried!" Qin Chuan replied very confidently: "Because we are here to liberate the Algerian people, not enslave them!"

Hearing this, Darlan's face couldn't help but become very ugly. He knew what Qin Chuan was going to do.

This really hits home for the French army... The French army in Algeria is mainly the colonial army, that is, the Zoaf Corps. If the Germans allow Algeria to become independent, then you don't have to think about who the Zoaf Corps will support.

"No, you can't do that!" Darlan said.

"Of course we can!" Qin Chuan replied.

This is of great benefit to Germany. You must know that the Zoav Corps has been controlled by France for a long time. It will be difficult to incorporate the Zoav Corps into the German military system for a while. Even if it is included, it will not be assured, because there will always be some among them. As long as French forces exist, it is unrealistic to eradicate it.

But if it directly supported its independence... France would be isolated almost overnight, while Germany would have the support of the Algerians. When the time comes, there will be troops, labor, and supplies...
