In the following time, Zhang Chi gradually shifted the center of gravity of the expeditionary army to Sicily.

In fact, not only the expeditionary forces, but also the British, American and French forces were transferring their troops and forces to Sicily... After all, Sicily is very close to Italy and is large enough to serve as a base for the Allied forces to attack Italy, and at the same time it can give Italy enough pressure to force it to surrender. So the troops, warships, fighter jets, supplies, etc. are transported to Sicily in batches.

None of these are what Zhang Chi cares about.

Zhang Chi was concerned about the other two armies of the Zoafu Corps that General Giro agreed to.

These two armies are the Fifth and Sixth Army... Zhang Chi immediately transferred them to Sicily for training and reorganization.

From this point of view, General Giro has become smarter.

General Giro agreed to reform the first unit was the First Army of the Zoafu Corps, and the First Army was the earliest and best-quality unit established in the Zoafu Corps... As for the First Army, it always had an example and a demonstration role, and many of the Algerian soldiers were nobles.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Chi is easier to select talents from.

But now General Giro obviously found that his decision was wrong. He relaxed the best troops and achieved the results of reform, and basically separated from the French command system... Although he was still under the command of General Zhu An and was considered a French army, General Giro could not feel at ease.

So the next two armies were to form the two armies with the latest and worst quality, namely the Fifth and Sixth Army.

These two armies were even the result of the temporary expansion of General Zhu'an's army after the surrender of the French army. Most of the members were peasants who were too poor to survive. They joined the army to make a living, and there were even hooligans and prisoners... There was no way to do this. The Algerians did not have much interest in working for the French colonists, so they did not have much enthusiasm to not join the army.

Their weapons and equipment are also the worst, and some logistics units cannot even match rifles.

So the combat effectiveness of these two armies can be imagined. They basically belong to the "smoking" type of battle in attacking the Mares defense line.

General Giro was making a wishful thinking... It was not considered a mistake to hand over these two troops with almost no combat effectiveness to the Chinese army. At the same time, he also gave an explanation to the Algerians, but he did not suffer much loss to the Zoafu Corps, which the French army directly controlled.

Cookie was also very angry about this.

"Look!" said Cookie: "That's how the French are. I know them. They have no sincerity to make us independent. They just want to use us, so they are not at ease to hand over the good troops to us!"

"This doesn't matter!" said Zhang Chi.

"Not important?" Cookie expressed confusion about Zhang Chi's words: "General, you don't know what kind of troops these two troops are. They can't fight at all... Simply put, they are no different from the Italians we met on the battlefield!"

"Italia is not born to be timid and afraid of death!" Zhang Chi is still full of confidence.

"The general means..."

"The reason why the Italians are like this!" Zhang Chi explained: "That's because they do not have the motivation to fight bravely and the confidence to defeat the enemy, and they are negligent in training the army, so they naturally have no combat effectiveness! Similarly, the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army are... In the hands of the French, they do not have the motivation to fight and the confidence to win, especially those French officers are all bastards. But it will be different after the reform, do you understand?"

Cook couldn't help but nod, because what Zhang Chi said was all facts. The combat effectiveness of the First Army of the Zoafu Corps was to reach a level in a short time after the reform. The Fifth Army and the Sixth Army were no exception. Especially at this time, these armies still belonged to Algeria's own army in a sense, so the people's enthusiasm for joining the army was higher, and they would have better military sources to supplement.

In fact, countries or nations are generally like this. No country or nation is a superior or inferior nation, or a nation has a particularly high IQ and which nation has a particularly low IQ... Of course, there are still differences between nations.

These countries or nations that now seem very backward and incompetent are just a set of correct institutional guidance or can be said to be a channel for upward development.

For example, Germany, what Germany lacked most before World War I was actually unity. The domestic forces do not hesitate to go against the development of the country for their own interests:

The naval faction believed that maritime interests were "the life and death issue of Germany", and advocated the development of the navy and was fully prepared to fight against Britain. The army faction advocated full development of the army and focused on attacking France. Financingists and businessmen wanted to enter the Balkans, Turkey and the Near East, and demanded priority to attack Russia. The Junker nobles in East Prussia demanded priority to protect the safety of their property.

Each has its own laws and uses them to not give in to each other. The result is: "Challenge each side but no one can win."

From the perspective of the world at that time, Germany was the most hopeless country in the world.

But who would have thought that this "most hopeless" country would burst out with such huge energy in the subsequent World War I and World War II?

Similarly, under the Qing Dynasty's policy and system of "close the country", China was also considered "without hope" by people and even many Chinese people... It is very easy to give examples, such as destroying the Great Wall by itself, and infighting in front of foreign enemies. For example, dozens of Japanese troops could occupy a city and easily massacre thousands of people.

Therefore, many people have concluded from these phenomena that Chinese people are not united and are not as good as foreigners. The most widely circulated are negative and ironic words such as "One Chinese is a dragon, and three Chinese are a insect."

Is this really an ethnic issue?

Facts have proved that this is not the case. It simply lacks a correct strategic guidance. Modern China has rapidly risen to become a big country and a strong country under the correct strategic guidance.

Similarly, modern India has always been the object of ridicule by netizens because it still has many strange events that make people feel incredible.

This cannot conclude that Indians are inferior people. They have also failed to find the right direction of development. If one day they realize this and put it into practice, they will soon become another.
