Chapter 190 The Ancestor Who Eats for Free
After talking about the commune, of course we have to talk about freedom.
A week later, after many twists and turns, 198 finally returned to London safely.
On the surface, the purpose of his trip was to visit the major resistance forces in North Africa. This operation was very confidential, and everything was handled by his own confidants. Outsiders had no idea what happened in just seven days.
After returning to his residence, 198 changed into comfortable clothes and went to find his most important supporter without stopping.
The man was a general and the former governor of French Indochina. With the surrender of Gaul, Vichy removed his position a few months ago.
After learning that someone had issued the 618 Declaration in London, he came to Britain without stopping to participate in the resistance movement.
A minute later, 198 came to the room of Admiral Catroux, and then he got the other party's permission and walked in.
"Charles, you are finally back. I have been exhausted during this period of time. There are too many things to deal with at home and abroad."
"What did you gain from this trip? Are our future allies as powerful as you described?"
These words seem to be interrogative sentences, but Admiral Catroux's demeanor and eyes are all stating one thing, that is, unconditional trust in his companions.
After all, his companion's vision is not ordinary, and this has been tested by World War I and the current war.
A few months ago, facing Sandezi who was desperate and used the concept of mobile warfare. The Gauls, who only thought about squatting and defending, lost miserably. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were attacked by dimensionality reduction.
Everyone was laughing at the rigidity of the Gaul Army, saying that their deployment changes were behind the times.
But without large-scale actual combat, who dared to guarantee that the new combat concept was correct?
The little mustache dared to play like this, because he had the confidence to experiment since the Spanish Civil War. In addition, the troops continued to summarize and improve in the Battle of Poland, and finally handed in the result of killing the Gauls in 39 days.
From the day the war began, no matter who was placed in the position of commander, without sufficient depth, they could not stop the aggressive armored forces of the three Germans.
Everyone should know one thing. In the war between the big and small beards, the Russians lost several times more territory than the Gauls in forty days.
It's just that the Gauls were unlucky and were the first big country to be killed, which became a precedent for everyone's discussion.
Of course, there can't be only one voice in the army of a big country.
There was a grassroots officer who keenly noticed that the form of war had undergone a fundamental change under the blessing of technical equipment long before the war began.
That person is the protagonist of our chapter, and he was still a young 198 of a battalion commander.
He expressed his ideas to his superiors in 1934, believing that it was necessary for the troops to establish a highly mobile armored division that could win by surprise.
It's a pity that the top leaders of the army at that time were not very optimistic about this new tactic. They allocated more resources to the positional warfare theory backed by the actual combat experience of the first war.
With the Maginot Line, the money-eating beast, the entire army finally formed only four armored divisions.
As a result, we already know that the advanced trench warfare lost to the highly mobile armored forces.
However, in the battle, 198 commanded the Fourth Armored Division under his command, and faced the fierce attack of San Dezi, and used his own mobile combat doctrine.
Although the B1 heavy tank is a little worse in appearance and has a very useless commander. But its combat effectiveness was really good at the time. If San Dezi had not had the 88 anti-everything gun, he really couldn't deal with this little monster.
Under the command of 198, the Fourth Armored Division cut off the supply line of the enemy's salient and even hit a position one kilometer away from Guderian's headquarters.
It's a pity that they lacked air support and were bombed by Meyer's planes. In addition, with the twelve gold medals coming from behind, they finally had no choice but to retreat to Paris.
In a sense, 198 had a similar experience with Yue Fei. Who doesn't have a Zhao Gou behind him?
Although there was no clear result in this battle, it made him famous, accumulated a certain amount of connections and reputation, and made the world recognize his vision.
After hearing his companion's question, 198 nodded. As if thinking of the Yellow River, he replied with a smile:
"The future allies are really good. After I went there, I carefully investigated their experience. In just one year, they developed from less than one rifle per capita to a combination of infantry and artillery."
"My God, I now have reason to suspect that they are more familiar with French weapons than our soldiers."
"The cooperation has been negotiated, and I have also met an interesting scientist. You must meet him if you have a chance."
"We need to develop secretly now and unite all the forces that can be united. As for the future form, it is not important for the time being. As long as we wait to rebuild the motherland, it doesn't matter left or right!"
In 198's view, weakness and compromise cannot be exchanged for others' respect.
If the Gallic rooster wants to rise again, it must resolutely embark on the road of independent development. This road is the beginning of hell, and there are all kinds of tigers blocking the way.
After all, sovereignty is a luxury for the free Gauls now, so luxurious that they are almost not qualified to have it.
————
After surrendering, 198 jumped on a plane to Britain without anyone expecting it. This jump was really a literal jump, as he only had a box of francs in his hand.
On June 18 of the same year, he announced to the world that Gaul had not completely surrendered. There was no failure, and the resistance continued.
This was the beginning. A brigadier general with only three four-leaf clover-level infantry battalions had to face the surrendered motherland and the Axis powers of the entire Europe.
However, the word brigadier general seemed to activate some kind of buff effect. After all, a dwarf in the Battle of Toulon was also a brigadier general.
After issuing the declaration, only one small island in the vast colonies chose to support him.
This was also unavoidable. At that time, Vichy Gaul was in charge of all military forces, finances, diplomatic resources and overseas territories.
It was a hellish start at the beginning, although 198 wanted to encourage the citizens who had the idea of resistance at that time. But for San Dezi and Vichy, it was completely painless and there was no substantial damage at all.
Even if 198's British leader was accepted, he did not recognize that the other party could represent all Gauls, and even secretly signed an agreement with Vichy to maintain the status quo of French colonies.
Fatty Qiu is an old hand. As long as his side is the victorious country, he can suck blood from Gaul.
This job is too familiar to Dai Yingke, after all, it is one of their means of making a fortune.
Of course, this has something to do with Wei Gang hiding Sandezi and transferring some weapons and equipment to North Africa. The old man wanted to train troops in North Africa to support future wars.
You still need to make more preparations for big things, anyway, it's just a matter of talking.
But after Vichy moved its capital to the Axis, this approach aroused opposition from many Gauls at home and abroad, and 198 took the opportunity to launch the Free Gaul Movement.
At this time, Fatty Qiu saw an opportunity, and he was determined to use 198 to integrate the vast French colonies and overseas fleets. He planned to cultivate the strongest tool man and act quickly before others reacted.
However, Fatty Qiu was very cautious. He only reached an agreement with 198 in his own name. He agreed to provide financial resources to the other party and recognize the status of the Free Gaul Chicken.
Although it is disgusting, don't be a fool if you have money.
With a sum of start-up funds, 198 contacted various resistance forces at home and abroad, provided them with material support, and thus won the unanimous recognition of domestic resistance forces.
René Nicod also met during that time, and the two people with the same ambitions soon came together.
During this period, he was recognized by an army general and a navy vice admiral.
The general was an old acquaintance of Catroux. The two of them had been in the same prison during World War I, and they were considered to be fellow Taoists in Longchang.
Although 198 was only a brigadier general, Catroux had a full understanding of his abilities and personality and was willing to accept his leadership.
These are what are happening now. Except for those core figures, no one knows that freedom and the commune have already had contact, and they will work towards the same goal.
————
The next is the future.
With the rise of 198, Fatty Qiu realized one thing. That is, the puppet he personally supported seemed to have strong opinions and abilities and was unwilling to be manipulated by others.
So he tried to sow discord and let Catroux take the position. After all, a general is better than a brigadier general.
But Catroux unconditionally believed in and supported his fellow Taoists and obeyed the leadership of his younger brother. This scared Fatty Qiu to death. How could the puppet still have the aura of a king? ?
However, the money had been paid, and it was a pity to give up halfway. He could only continue to support the Free Gauls and quietly look for opportunities to cultivate a new puppet.
In 1941, Daiying and the Free Gauls took joint action in the Middle East. After defeating the Vichy garrison, Daiying did not return the territory to the Free Gauls as originally agreed.
In Qiu Pangzi's view, I paid for this person, I paid for the money, and I mainly fought the war. Why should I give the territory to you!
This directly ignited the conflict between the two sides. 198 scolded Qiu Pangzi for being treacherous and wanted to break off diplomatic relations. Qiu Pangzi scolded 198 for being unscrupulous and ungrateful.
But at this time, the big and small beards were about to fight, and Daiying did not dare to be too radical. What if the Free Gauls directly surrendered to the Soviet Union and all sang the Marseillaise? They could not stand it.
And now they have invested more, and what is more uncomfortable than drawing water with a bamboo basket is to see others get rich. If Qiu Pangzi made a wedding dress for the big beard, he would be very uncomfortable.
During that period, the Free Gallic Chicken had already incorporated many colonies, and a falling out would affect the attitude of others. Moreover, the pressure on the front line was very high, and no contradictions were allowed within the alliance.
198 also stopped when he saw the good, and became a good boy, temporarily letting Daiying take over the territory.
To be honest, this behavior was indeed not authentic.
He also knew that he was a gigolo, but everything was for the benefit of the motherland. For the sake of the motherland, he could not care about his reputation and turn himself into a vicious dog.
What's more, barefoot is not afraid of those wearing shoes. There is nothing left, so who cares about other things.
This time, not only did they almost part ways, but even different voices were generated within the Free Gallic Chicken. After all, not everyone has the courage to burn their boats and the ability to eat gigolo.
The vice admiral thought that he was living under someone else's roof, and he should not die and listen to the master.
They believed that concessions must be made when necessary, and even certain national interests could be sold out when necessary.
A running dog is a running dog, and it is better to live a bad life than to die.
But ah, when you give up dignity for money, it is very likely that you will not get money or dignity.
198 was furious at this kind of cowardice.
He was very clear-headed and knew that the two sides were not equal in strength. As a man whose ancestors had been wealthy, he knew the colonists' mentality of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
If he showed weakness at this time, he would be drained of blood from his body. Not fighting would be a slow suicide.
Facing the naive vice admiral, he pointed out the famous saying of the British Prime Minister, that there are no friends between countries, only interests.
This is the peace that can be achieved by fighting, and the peace that can be achieved by compromise. Britain is a suspicious ally, and has always been.
However, the naive vice admiral gave Fatty Qiu an opportunity to re-establish a puppet. The two like-minded people got together and even discussed the reorganization.
It's a pity that 198 knew the real master directly. It clearly pointed out that the largest organization of the internal resistance force is PCF.
And if the big and small beards started fighting, even if you kill me, my men can also turn red.
Such persistence and coercion, coupled with the threat of different consciousness and the fact that overseas colonies do have good strength, once again allowed 198 to resolve the crisis.
But he also realized one thing, verbal threats may not be enough, and he must strive for an ally other than Britain, so he contacted Maozi through various means.
The big bearded man was very busy at the time, they were almost beaten through, and the ally who came to the door must be taken.
Adhering to the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the big bearded man directly recognized the status of the Free Gallic Rooster. And provide material support. After all, they have a good relationship with their younger brother.
And at that time, Maozi's attention was at most to look at Asia, and he had no intention of the French colonies.
But the ugly country is different. When Europe was fighting in the northwest of Shanxi, Master Luo was still taking people to watch the show. They only recognize Vichy. After all, they are businessmen. What do you have for the Free Gallic Rooster?
A bunch of stinky beggars, they have to score victory points if they win. Whoever wants to be a grudge should go by himself, don't drag me in.
But 198 was not weak either, and he went directly to Canada to collect two pieces of Vichy land.
Just as Master Luo was about to fight back, he was eating hot pot and singing in Pearl Harbor, and was suddenly attacked by Huhuhuhu. The ugly country, which was busy dealing with the Pacific battlefield, naturally had no time to care about the stinky beggars.
But at this time, Fatty Qiu was quite happy, because the competitor was -1.
After recovering, Master Luo's counterattack came. He also found a puppet like Dai Ying, who was the commander-in-chief of Vichy in Algeria at that time.
This man was not a good person either, and he used the navy of Gallic chickens as a bargaining chip for his ambitions. He gave away 7 battleships, 7 heavy cruisers and more than 40 destroyers in one go.
However, successful people are generally lucky. This powerful enemy was assassinated by an aspiring young man after a few days of jumping.
Fortunately, the overall framework is still there, and a new leader is enough.
So! Gallic Superman Giraud is online! This man was captured by Sandezi in 1940. The old man was 60 years old and could still escape. He escaped from the 40-meter castle with a rope.
With authentic old Berlin German and bribes, he swaggered back to Vichy. But his brain was not very good, he couldn't understand the situation, and he jumped back and forth.
As a result, neither Vichy nor anti-Vichy forces recognized him, so they could only make do with him.
Yingchou wanted 198 to merge with Gaul Superman at this time, so that there would be people planted by both sides in the organization, and they could also use the power and territory of North Africa.
It could even cause internal consumption, which would help to divide the land after the war. The trick of dividing the river and ruling separately was played clearly.
Master Luo also played the ancestral propaganda war. He mobilized the media to promote Giro in North Africa and led Ying to promote that Giro was the leader.
Such a dangerous situation did not stump 198, as he had become unstoppable at this time.
Faced with a crisis that seemed difficult to handle, he directly showed his killer move and asked Giro to abolish the officials during the Vichy period. If he did not do so, it would be a copy of Vichy with an unstable heel, and if he did it, he would even cut off his own arms.
But now he doesn't need to be so difficult, because he has reliable comrades, and the future is bright.
Writing Gaul Chicken is not for water, but to solve the problem of Wannan.
The reason why the bald head was inflated at that time was very simple, that is, because the aid of Fatty and Beard came back, and he was scared by the Hundred Regiments Campaign.
Wannan must not fight, you definitely don't want to see the prisoner song in the book.
The only beneficiary of the fight is the book, if you want to solve the problem from the root, you can only let the fat man and the bearded man warn the bald man.
They have done this before, but it was after Wannan.
No matter how well the rabbit develops, it can't say anything, there must be someone who can handle the matter to help.
The Gallic rooster is a good choice, and it is the only choice.
Although I won't write about what happened after 1947, I used it in one stroke.
Next, I will return to the main line. It's not that I'm bad or the layout is very troublesome.
