Chapter 345 Casablanca(2/2)

Germany now consumes Britain by relying on its quantity and capacity advantages, while Britain relies on a bay of straits to fight Germany.

Although General Liu Gengyun rejected the French Free Army's request for aircraft carrier lease, there is still a lot of room for China and France and the necessity of mutual help in other areas of cooperation. He listened carefully to Commander-in-Chief Charles de Gaulle about the French Free Army's

Recent establishment work.

At this stage, the French Free Army is mainly divided into two parts, partly located in Spain, mainly the main army forces that retreated from France to Spain, as well as refugees and anti-German youths who fled from France to Spain. The supply of this part is mainly

Relying on Spain, since the main forces of the French mechanical forces located in the Porto region have generally retreated to Spain, the overall strength has been preserved; the other part is formed by the French colonial armed forces in overseas colonies, and a large number of them have been recruited.

French overseas citizens and mercenaries from colonial countries.

On the issue of military supplies, the French Liberal Government can continue to insist, but after losing its own industrial base, all military equipment and ammunition replenishment can only rely on Chinese aid.

At this stage, the most important task of the French Free Army is to maintain its rule over the French colonies, and assist Spain in resisting the threat of Germany and Italy, and protecting the Iberian Peninsula became the last bottom line to limit the German army's rule throughout Europe.

It was impossible to resist the Germans by the Spanish army and the French army alone. The empire also sent a large number of troops to station in Spain and established a large number of air and naval bases in Spain.

With the large number of Imperial Defense Forces stationed in Europe, it is inevitable that there will be a war between China and Germany.

General Charles de Gaulle had many unique ideas about the reorganization of the French Free Army. His core idea was to complete the mechanized transformation of the entire French Free Army with the support of China, and General Liu Gengyun did not support this because the French army lacked enough.

China cannot provide all the assistance it needs free of charge.

The two discussed this for a few hours, and the differences became increasingly greater. Although General Liu Gengyun did not show any arrogant attitude as much as possible, General Charles de Gaulle still felt that General Liu Gengyun had already possessed France.

A deep prejudice does not believe that the French can defeat the Germans.

General Charles de Gaulle was very dissatisfied, but he still patiently emphasized with General Liu Gengyun that without the efforts of the French army, the British would not be able to stop Germany's iron hooves, and it would be even more difficult for China and Britain to win the final victory of the war.

The French army is needed, and a powerful French army is needed.

I have been listening to the other party repeatedly emphasizing the importance of the French army, but in the end it is nothing more than asking China to provide more free aid.

General Liu Gengyun was not angry. He even drank tea and smoked cigars gracefully. He seemed to no longer want to argue with General Charles de Gaulle. He neither rejected General Charles de Gaulle's views nor expressed his clear support.

He was in a conflict because he knew that the core policy of the empire had been introduced, which meant that the empire could defeat Germany without the help of Britain and France, and completely eliminate all German military forces, but he could not disclose this.

Information, and we must also encourage Britain and France to continue fighting bravely until China finds a legal reason to send troops and can convince the people of the country.

There are differences in cognition between the two sides. The French Free Army believes that it is very important and deserves more assistance from China. China does not think so, but there is no need to break up and make it clear.

All General Liu Gengyun could do was not to refute General de Gaulle's judgment, and at the same time, he could not fully agree with the various requirements of the French Free Army.

The rest is the bargaining between the two sides. Regardless of how General Charles de Gaulle emphasized the situation and the importance of the French Free Army, General Liu Gengyun still cut the French Free Army's aid requirements by half, and only agreed to continue to support the French army in preparing for a mechanical army.

Before this, the Empire had provided the French army with more than 4,000 tanks and a large number of armored vehicles and trucks, helping the French army to build the French First Free Army, plus the large number of troops withdrawing from the Porto region of France to Spain, and

The Empire agreed to increase the aid this time, and the French army will have three mechanized armies.

Of course, with only these military forces, France is far from able to fight against Germany and Italy, and can only serve as a second-line force.

After the subsequent aid amount of military supplies and equipment was negotiated, General Liu Gengyun inspected the local French Free Army accompanied by General Charles de Gaulle.

Casablanca is a hot and exotic city of North Africa. The French Liberal Government established a strong dominance here. The French army here had six divisions and two air divisions, but the entire equipment system was very chaotic.

There were French troops, equipment from China and Britain and the United States, various old equipment that France had eliminated before, and even the 19th century guns and cannons were re-taken by the French.

After inspection, General Liu Gengyun felt even more moved, and he felt that it was difficult for the French to play a lot of role in this war.

In Spanish, Casablanca's original meaning is "the city of white". For free France at this time, this is a city of hope, with French people gathering here, and various military aids arrived from the colonies of China, Britain, the United States and France.

It is concentrated in this white port city.

Huge ships shuttled back and forth, and there was no need to worry about German submarine forces far away from the German Navy, and the Italian Navy did not have the ability to break through the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar.

This place seems to be the most peaceful and prosperous port city on the Atlantic Ocean. Even so, the French Air Force continues to send planes to patrol the surrounding waters because it is already their last habitat.

The empire's military deployment in Africa was mainly concentrated in Ethiopia, where the empire maintained the strength of twenty divisions to prevent the Italian army from attacking Egypt. The importance of Egypt lies in the Suez Canal. Once the Italian army attacked Egypt, it also means China.

Will definitely join the war.

The situation has developed to this point today, and China is bound to participate in the war. Germany has no doubt about this. Unless they can really force Britain to be defeated quickly and really guarantee not to attack Switzerland and Spain, the Sino-Germany battle will be

It's inevitable.
