British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 954: last man of france

"Judging from the current situation, this is a military coup." Alan Wilson, who returned to the headquarters of the film and television company, came to the same conclusion as Sir Ismay. He was the French general in Algiers. A joint open letter requesting General de Gaulle to form a cabinet.

Seeing Heidi Rama and Ingrid Bergman showing panic, he immediately added, "But don't worry, there is unlikely to be a military government in France."

The military launched a coup. Unless there is major fraud in the congressional elections, a coup for any reason is tantamount to betraying the country.

"It scared me." Ingrid Bergman had a flash of blame in her eyes, and gently pushed the man. "Can't you, the UK, exert some influence? You always say that you have the responsibility to lead Europe."

"Well, even though we said that, the French never admitted it." Alan Wilson said dumbfoundedly, "This is France, the strongest country in Europe for centuries."

Don’t think that France’s kneeling in World War II means that this country is not good. Considering the situation faced by the French army at that time and the depth of France’s territory, after the mobilized army was wiped out by the Manstein plan, the potential French soldiers could not support it at all. Fighting head on.

Even so, the troops mobilized by the French colonies were still under the command of Charles de Gaulle, and achieved considerable results. This question depends on whether the Italian army is considered human. When the Free France returned to its homeland, there were already millions The army, warships of hundreds of thousands of tons and thousands of combat aircraft.

In terms of the number of enemy troops eliminated, Free France is definitely above the Cannon Party, and it is incomparable with the Big Three in World War II, but there is no problem in ranking fourth.

If there is no accident, the French army in Algeria is now looking for Charles de Gaulle, the hero who led the Free France in World War II, immediately after making a public statement.

The French hunk is about to come out to clean up the mess, and Alan Wilson has started another round of brainstorming to deduce the possible impact. The most direct impact is of course that the NATO garrison in France is about to usher in a handful of days.

No matter which party France is in, they are actually quite critical of the presence of the US military in France. However, the French government changes faster than Alan Wilson can buy underwear. It is a miracle that it can persist in the Algerian war. Drive away, but de Gaulle is different.

The reason why the statement of the Algerian French army is called a coup d'état is of course a coup d'état in various senses. The significance of de Gaulle's existence to the end of the Fourth French Republic was to overthrow it.

Once de Gaulle established a stable French political system, it was almost impossible for NATO to continue to exist in France.

What Alan Wilson is thinking about is, will the United States take another opportunity to let the United Kingdom open its military bases? It is not acceptable to save France but bring Britain in. Do you want to remind the Foreign Secretary?

"What are you thinking about? We'll talk about it tomorrow." Heidi Lamarr unbuttoned her blouse and whispered provocatively, "Today I'll let you taste the treatment of a leading actor in a movie."

"Of course I can't wait to ask for it." Alan Wilson's face was grim, like a trivial matter that threatened the democracy of the free world, thinking about it sooner or later would not make much difference.

The security of the free world is important, so is manned spaceflight not important? This is the cutting-edge technology of mankind.

At this moment, seven generals, represented by the Algerian French commander Henry, came to Paris, the center of the old revolutionary base, with the collective will of the 800,000 French troops in Algeria.

Since the fall of the Bourbon dynasty, Paris in the old revolutionary district has been keen to practice various political ideas for other regions of France, dictatorship, democracy, restoration of the monarchy, as long as you can think of it, the glorious citizens of Paris will come here again.

During the period of the Third Republic and the Fourth Republic, Napoleon was a derogatory term. After the war, many people compared de Gaulle to Napoleon, which shows that many people did not support de Gaulle's political ideas very much.

But although Napoleon represented the monarchy, it was the peak era of French military power.

Although this peak is compared with the Sun King, it is like the comparison between the Third Reich and the Second Reich. In terms of military power, it seems that the head of state has achieved greater results, but in terms of national power, Germany under Wilhelm II is far stronger than Germany led by the head of state. .

After 13 years, more than 20 French people under the government finally picked up the traditional project in the old revolutionary base area and called for a strong figure to clean up the mess. When the news came that the French army in Algiers would support Charles de Gaulle to form a cabinet, there was a lot of support The people who continued the war in Algeria embraced with open arms the emergence of a political strongman.

France is an extremely free country, which has something to do with its traditions. During the Sun King era, France was drained of blood by the centralized system.

The French rose up to resist and the French Revolution broke out. Since then, the French's yearning for freedom has been number one in the world.

But the French revolution does not necessarily mean the pursuit of freedom. The French revolution is essentially a revolution for the sake of revolution. You can embrace the republic with open arms, and you can also express your support for Napoleon III’s coming to power. The subsequent results are actually not important, the process of revolution is very important.

"Those so-called congressmen in the National Assembly are not only incompetent but also shameless." A general who followed General Henry commented dismissively after witnessing the powerlessness of the cabinet to protest against it.

"Okay, Jones." General Henry said, "The purpose of our coming is not for the purpose of these protesters. Go directly to the office on Solferino Street. We want to see General de Gaulle."

Undoubtedly, General Henry came back this time as the commander of the Algerian French army, not to do anything to the current cabinet, but to find someone who can support the war until the rebels are eliminated, just like the old story of Napoleon III receiving the support of the Algerian army. people to lead France.

Rue Solferino on the left bank of the Seine is the office of de Gaulle in Paris. Apart from his hometown, de Gaulle would meet some important guests in this office when he was in Paris.

This time, the return of the seven generals stationed in the French army in Algeria to Paris represents the collective will of the 800,000 French troops in Algeria. Nothing is impossible.

The seven generals arrived at Solferino Street and directly entered Charles de Gaulle's office to meet with the leader of the Free French. In fact, in recent times, politicians have been coming here, but this time is different. Man is the collective will representing the 800,000 French troops in Algeria.

"Henry, you are quite brave to come here in person." De Gaulle immediately recognized the person who came, calling him Henry Loriot's name, "Do you know what your actions mean?"

"General de Gaulle, we really cannot tolerate domestic chaos, which may bring France to a point of no return." Henri Loriot directly expressed his intention, "Now you are the only one who can save France, just like you led the Free France, 194 It took five years to regain the glory of France, and those mediocre politicians took away your power to lead this country, but made the country what it is now."

"Henry, it's all over." General de Gaulle pondered for a moment, "but I agree that the chaos and weakness of the parliamentary system have weakened the national strength of France."

The days when de Gaulle went to the field, as Henri Lorillo said, are indeed very unfair in retrospect.

During this period, de Gaulle was banned from speaking on radio and television. So he had to go back and forth between Brunaval and Strasbourg to promote his ideas.

But the RPF did not win enough seats in the parliamentary elections to influence social policy and state institutions. Therefore, de Gaulle decided to gradually stop the activities of the French People's Union~lightnovelpub.net~ But this experience cultivated and mobilized many followers of de Gaulle.

"General, now only you have this prestige, reshape the united France, and continue the war to the end."

"We are not far from complete victory. There are two million French immigrants and groups supporting France. We set up no-man's land to centralize the management of the migrating Algerians. The number of these people is two million. After several years of fighting, there are Millions of rioters were killed, and we all thought there would be no more living rebels in a year or two."

"The problem now is that the chaotic political situation in the country has made the efforts of the soldiers in vain. Once we give up our Algerian brothers, France's status will also plummet, and the entire French Africa will also fall apart. This is something France cannot afford."

These generals from Algiers spoke one after another, expressing their opinions and expounding the reasons why de Gaulle came out to unite France. "The political instability has weakened the national strength of France, and the soldiers are very distressed."

"Is that so?" General de Gaulle was lost in thought, as if he was considering whether the timing was right.

In the evening, several generals left De Gaulle's office. From their expressions, it can be seen that the results of the talks were satisfactory.

The sun rose, and the protests lasted for three months. The evolving left and right factions continued to blame each other. The French capital was almost paralyzed. Anti-war opponents believed that the huge casualties caused by the Algerian war had brought the prestige of France to the bottom. Supporters called on the country to immediately take strong measures to put these money-collecting anti-war fighters in jail.

And in some newspapers, reports calling for General de Gaulle to come out to rectify the situation also appeared on the front page headlines, and the image of General de Gaulle who led Free France once again appeared in the public's view.
