The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Three days later Qin Chuan went to visit Antoine again.

The first thing they said when they met, Qin Chuan asked: "Can you give us the answer, Antoine?"

"No, there is no answer to this question!" Antoine replied: "Because I don't know what I will do if this situation occurs. But I believe that France will finally gain freedom and victory, and you invaders will win from France." Get out of the land!"

"You are right, Antoine!" Qin Chuan replied: "We will indeed leave France!"

Qin Chuan lit a cigarette and handed one to Antoine like last time, and then said: "But have you never thought about what France will become when we leave France?"

"What do you mean?" Antoine slowly took the cigarette.

"You know, Antoine!" Qin Chuan replied: "The British support De Gaulle, the Americans support Giraud, and Germany is in Darlan in Algeria. Who are you commanding?"

"Of course General de Gaulle!" Antoine replied: "If you think this can alienate us, you are wrong!"

What Antoine said was right. Although the United States at this time had a great business, it was far inferior to the old espionage country Britain in terms of intelligence, propaganda and rear guerrilla operations. In addition, General Giraud and De Gaulle were both powerful in terms of capabilities. There is a huge gap, so the "Fighting France" supported by the British has a high reputation in France.

"That's not what I'm talking about, Antoine!" Qin Chuan said: "Do you think they will hope to establish a truly unified and independent France? They each have their own interests, and they will not sit back and watch France become so unified and then become powerful. of their competitors!”

Qin Chuan did not lie to Antoine.

Britain and the United States did have the idea of ​​dismembering France, but their interests changed after Germany surrendered...

For the United Kingdom, it hopes to continue to be the number one in the world, so its enemy is the United States, which is increasingly influential.

Therefore, it needed a strong, independent and pro-British France to jointly squeeze out the influence of the United States on Europe, so it turned to fully support the de Gaulle regime to become independent and take power.

For the United States, it is not difficult to foresee that its enemy is the increasingly powerful Soviet Union. The United States needs to win over European countries to fight against the Soviet Union, so it also needs a stable and strong France.

Britain and the United States hit it off immediately, and eventually promoted France, which had made little contribution during World War II, to one of the five permanent members. They even helped and supported France to re-enter Vietnam, its pre-World War II colony.

The latter is simply a big joke, and it is a clear proof that there are only naked interests between countries.

But none of this happened.

To put it simply, the interests had not changed before Germany surrendered, so the United States and Britain both hoped to cultivate their own forces in France to get what they needed... There is no other national interest than this.

"The Battle of France will win in the end!" said Antoine.

"Oh, really?" Qinchuan replied: "The British occupied a piece of land and handed it over to De Gaulle, and the Americans occupied a piece of land and handed it over to Giraud... What can 'Fight France' do? Attack the United States army?"

Hearing this, Antoine couldn't help but fell silent.

The decision-making power does not lie with France at all, but depends on the competition between Britain and the United States.

"What do you want, Antoine?" Qin Chuan said: "A unified and independent France, or France like this?"

One thing Qinchuan didn't tell Antoine was... In fact, Antoine was taking the right path now. As long as he defeated Germany together with Britain and the United States, everything would change and France could finally win its independence.

But of course Qin Chuan would not tell Antoine like this.

"Could it be possible to gain unity and independence by standing together with you?" Antoine couldn't help but laugh.

"Why not?" Qin Chuan replied: "Think about Libya, think about Algeria. Especially Algeria, you should have heard about it... Algerians have their own armed forces, the economy has developed greatly, and the people live a relatively stable life. Life, don’t these explain the problem? "

These words were fatal to Antoine.

Because the facts are indeed as Qin Chuan said... Algeria is developing very well and has a considerable degree of autonomy and independence.

On the contrary, the places occupied by the British, such as Egypt, Greece and Libya, were all controlled by the British and even a civil war broke out in Greece.

So why is France an exception?

In other words, Qinchuan's strategy in Africa played a certain role at this time.

More importantly, Britain deceived and even betrayed France not long ago. The pain caused by Churchill's "Ballista Project" to the French is still vivid, but now it has to accept the "Fighting France" controlled by the British. Regime... This is also one of the points of contention among several French guerrilla groups.

Some of them tend to support Giraud, others tend to support de Gaulle, and some hope to "establish themselves as kings."

But no matter which one it is, France's prospects and hopes of having complete independence from outside interference are slim.

"What's your advice to me?" After thinking about it, Antoine smiled miserably: "Join you invaders and fight for you losers? No, I'm not that stupid!"

"No, you are not joining us!" Qin Chuan replied: "Join the French regiment, your sister's army. Also, do you really think we will be losers?"

"Isn't it?" Antoine asked: "Who told me that you were going to withdraw from France?"

Qin Chuan shook his head: "Antoine, you have known me for more than a day or two. Why do you think I will tell you so much? I hope you can help Germany defeat the British and Americans, please... You are just a deputy captain of the guerrillas. Your team was uprooted by us not long ago. Your existence only brings danger and doubt to me. Do you understand?"

Antoine couldn't deny this, and even if Qin Chuan wanted to go against him, Antoine would have had enough reason to do so when he shot Qin Chuan in Algiers.

"The French regiment is a soldier trained by me!" Qin Chuan said: "They are all like you, coming from wealthy families in Algeria, and they are also hesitant about joining the Allies. Do you know what advice I give them?"

Qin Chuan stared into Antoine's eyes and said: "I said to them, 'Why don't you wait?' Let's see what happens after the British and Americans enter France before making a decision. Let's see whether it is Germany or the Allies in the end." Take the advantage and make the decision. Why don’t you wait?”

After thinking for a while, Antoine nodded and replied: "You convinced me, Lieutenant Colonel!"
