"Major General!" General Giro glanced at Zhang Chi's military rank and said with a little disdain: "But the problem is... in your plan, you need to command more than 100,000 Zuo Af Corps to attack Libya, right? I don't think Zuo Af Corps will obey any of you!"

(Note: Zoafu Corps is the French Algerian Army)

"Please figure it out, General!" Montgomery was also angry, and he said angrily: "The Zoaf Corps is an uprising, or it can be said to surrender. They can only obey our command!"

"General Montgomery!" General Giro replied: "I once again show my attitude. I cannot accept the deputy position in the Allied Command. I will be responsible for commanding the expeditionary forces of all the Allied Powers. Otherwise, I will not be able to obtain the understanding of the French, but will instead defile my military honor!"

Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh: "Can the French army surrender to Germany and become a German puppet... be able to gain the understanding of the French?"

General Giro gave Zhang Chi an angry look and was interrupted by Montgomery just as he was about to say something.

"General Giro!" said Montgomery: "You have no room for bargaining, do you understand? I cannot hand over command to you. You are considering your face, and I am considering the lives of Allied soldiers!"

Montgomery had seen a general who was more respectful than him.

"No, I have room for bargaining!" General Giro spread his hands and replied, "I will stand by and watch!"

Montgomery and Ramsden were stunned. They did not expect that after so much time, they had wasted such a situation.

Zhang Chi looked at the two at a loss, then stepped forward and said to General Jiro:

"Okay! General Giro, since that's the case... I'm sorry, I'll let you go for a waste of time. We will arrange a plane to let you go back!"

This surprised General Giro. He looked at Montgomery and asked, "Can the words of this major general represent the Allied forces?"

"Of course!" Montgomery chose to stand on Zhang Chi's side without hesitation: "General Giro, we all know that the prestige on the battlefield does not come from military ranks, but from military merits. It is obvious that you are the former, and this Chinese major general is the latter. He repeatedly defeated the enemy's armored forces... The German armored forces are also the proposer of this plan, and they are also the main commander to directly implement this plan!"

"So good!" General Giro replied: "I'm sorry!"

He turned around and was about to leave.

Zhang Chi whispered to Montgomery: "It seems we need to consider contacting General Charles de Gaulle!"

Zhang Chi intentionally aggravated the "General Degaol" a little so that General Giro could hear it.

Sure enough, Zhang Chi noticed that General Giro's steps slowed down slightly, and then his walking posture became unnatural.

After General Giro left, Montgomery shook his head in distress: "As the telegram said, General Charles de Gaulle mainly serves in France and does not have much appeal in Algeria!"

Ramsden asked: "So, do we have any other candidates?"

"There must be a candidate!" Montgomery replied: "It's just that we don't have that much time..."

Speaking of this, Montgomery will not continue, because this was his mistake and he should not drive the Commonwealth Army into the minefield of the Germans and put them in a dilemma.

Just imagine, if this attack had occurred after the airborne Algeria, the Commonwealth Army would have obviously been much easier.

"Don't worry!" Zhang Chi said: "General Giro will be back soon to cooperate with us!"

"What?" Montgomery looked puzzled: "Why did you say that?"

Zhang Chi just smiled and didn't explain.

Montgomery and Ramsden did not understand one thing. General Giro actually did not do it for the so-called "dignity of the French people" and of course it was not for the "honor of soldiers."

General Giro's doing this is actually a naked blackmail. He hopes to use this to gain more political capital for himself, in order to become a leader in France in the future or at least gain a place in French history.

Simply put, if he became the commander of the Allies' expedition to Algeria, then French history would have written this way: "The heroic General Giro led the Allies to liberate Algeria and took the first step to liberate France..."

But ideals are full, reality is very skinny. General Giro did not have enough chips in his hands... Even if Montgomery promised to let General Giro command, Zhang Chi would not be able to hand over the command of the Chinese army to him.

Or it can be said that General Giro actually has certain bargaining chips, but he himself doesn't know.

The reason is what Zhang Chi said, "General De Gaulle".

Sure enough, things were as Zhang Chi guessed. General Giro was in a state of ease as soon as he returned to his residence. He originally wanted to take advantage of this matter to maximize his interests, but... if the Allies had other choices, such as "General Charles de Gaulle", then he was likely to be completely abandoned by this plan and get nothing.

After thinking about it, General Giro felt that this would not work, so he immediately got up and rushed to the command center with his assistant.

"General Montgomery!" When General Giro appeared in the command again, his tone almost made him another person: "For the benefit of the anti-Fass camp, I am willing to accept your leadership and command!"

Montgomery and Ramsden couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi, their eyes full of shock.

Afterwards, Montgomery discovered that they were actually wasting time because General Giro had basically no appeal in Algeria... This is because General Giro had basically no commendable military achievements. What he could boast was to escape from the German prisoner-of-war camp.

There is a story like this: General Giro talked loudly at the banquet, talking about the thrilling process of his escape from prison. From before the meal until the banquet was about to end, everyone listened with relish. De Gaulle beside him asked lightly: "General, please tell us now, how did you get captured?" Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.

As the saying goes, "What kind of general will have any kind of soldiers." Therefore, General Giro's old subordinates do not have many of them in Algias who hold high positions or hold military power.

This result made Montgomery and Ramsden stunned. They could not imagine how General Giro had the confidence to negotiate terms with them under such circumstances!
