Chapter 757 Opportunity
"The plan was cancelled?" Zhang Chi called back: "No, I think the plan should go as usual!"
"You're crazy!" Montgomery replied: "General Juan has been arrested, we have no chance!"
"There is no chance to cancel the plan!" Zhang Chi insisted: "But now I think there is still a chance!"
"I don't agree with you!" Montgomery replied: "I order you to cancel this operation in the name of the commander of the Eighth Army!"
Zhang Chi no longer called back. Although he knew that Montgomery's original intention was good, because he thought that continuing to implement the plan would be a death sentence... But Zhang Chi didn't think so.
This is also the difference between Zhang Chi and Montgomery in character. Montgomery is cautious and careful. He always hopes that the battle can develop according to his ideas. If an accident occurs, he will immediately respond to "protecting himself".
But Zhang Chi knew that the battlefield was always full of variables, and the risks and returns themselves were proportional, without any risk and there was a great return... It was more likely to be a trap.
"What should we do now?" asked Mr. Liang.
Zhang Chi still said the same thing: "According to the original plan!"
Staff Liang couldn't help but frowned: "Occupy Dali Airport?"
"Yes!"
"Will the enemy be prepared?"
Zhang Chi looked at the watch and there was still an hour before the airborne, and then replied: "General Zhu An's arrest does not necessarily mean that they will know our plan immediately. I even believe... General Zhu An will try his best to conceal or delay the time when the plan is exposed! Because this is their chance to turn defeat into victory, the only opportunity! And General Zhu An's arrest will also have an impact on their army..."
Zhang Chi was right, because Darlang was also worried about this problem at this time.
Darlang only has one hour. During this hour, he must know the combat plan of General Juan and the Allies, or the location of the Allied airborne and the target of attack... Otherwise, Algeria is so big that any point may be the enemy's target, and he has no way to defend himself.
This is also the reason why Dallang asked to bring General Juan and Murphy to him... Dallang knew that torture and confession would not play a big role. General Juan and Murphy were not stupid. They knew that it would only take an hour to hold on and the situation might completely reverse.
The one who was brought to Dallang was General Juan. As for Murphy, Dallang handed it over to his subordinates for interrogation... This was to prevent them from colluding with each other, and at the same time it was also to prove whether the information that General Juan might provide was accurate.
"Then!" Darlang said to the disarmed General Zhuan with a expressionless face: "Have you all agreed with the British?"
"No, it's an American!" General Zhu An made contact with the United States.
Dallang couldn't help but stand up suddenly and said angrily: "I've known for a long time that British people are stupid, but I always think Americans are a little smarter than British people. Now I'm beginning to think that Americans make so many mistakes than British people!"
"General!" General Zhu An retorted: "Then can you tell me where are they stupid? You mean to surrender to Germany like France and disarm it, and reaching the so-called "arms" is a clever approach?"
"General Juan!" Dallang slapped the table fiercely and replied: "Don't think you are the only one who is planning for France. There are many things. On the surface, they are fighting for freedom for France, but in turn they will harm France! Have you ever thought about how much you make such a big noise in Africa, that is, colonies, will the French and French people be treated like this?!"
Upon hearing this, General Zhu An was stunned. He had never thought about this.
"Tell you what you plan!" Darlang grabbed General Juan's collar: "Think about France!"
General Zhu An hesitated for a while and then replied: "No, General, I am thinking about France. I think we should cooperate with the Allies to break France out of the claws of Germany, rather than continue like this!"
"Stupid!" Dallang pushed General Zhuan aside fiercely.
At this moment, a dramatic scene appeared, with both Dallang and Juan claiming to be France, but their approaches were very different.
Regardless of who is right or wrong, Darlang is really willing to defend France, but he is a very cunning person, hoping to deal with several major powers such as Britain, the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union, and finally achieve the goal of preserving French interests as much as possible.
In short, Darlang hopes to preserve his strength in the cracks, to put it bluntly, he is a fence-bearer who is inverted.
"Film-in-law" may be a derogatory term for individuals or groups, but for a country that "only talks about interests", it is even more a "commendation".
But now, General Zhu's actions have broken the balance that Dallang has worked hard to maintain. At this time, what Dallang wants is to find ways to correct it.
Darlang knew General Juan very well, so he knew that General Juan would not surrender, so he ordered: "Send troops to control the airport immediately!"
"Yes!" The staff officer responded, and then he was stunned: "General, which airport?"
"Every airport!" Dallang almost roared.
Darlang knew that the first step for the enemy's airborne was to control an airport as the base, because this would allow the airborne troops to "attack and retreat or defend", that is, if they could not fight, they could also take a transport plane to retreat, and at the same time they could also accept reinforcements and supplies from the British direction.
But Darlang didn't know which airport the Allied forces targeted, so he could only catch them in one go.
While doing these tasks, Darlang also quickly sent police forces to arrest or control Algeria, especially those with military power in Algiers... Darlang did not want to support them in the city when the enemy airborne troops landed.
However, because he didn't know who was suspected of it, Darlang could only control it all. The side effect of this was that Algiers was in chaos, and many commanders of the army were in a state of unmanned command because they lost their command.
Darlang was very anxious about this situation, because it was the time when he needed his troops to resist the upcoming airborne of the Allied forces, but the troops were as scattered as sand... But Darlang did not dare to use these troops easily, because he was worried that it would not only not improve after the use, but would further worsen the situation.
This is what Zhang Chi said, "it will have an impact on the army."
