Chapter 278 Algiers

It was three o'clock in the morning, light rain.

This is unusual in Tripoli’s dry season, which is said to be the impact of the cold current along the coast.

Although the light rain will cause some trouble to the airborne, it will also serve as a cover to make it more difficult for the French army to identify our enemies and us, so it is difficult to tell whether it is good or bad.

With General Slein's order, the troops boarded the Caproni transport aircraft in a platoon. After the transport aircraft glided for a distance on the runway, it flew into the air with a loud engine sound.

After the plane stabilized, Werner took off the disc-shaped helmet from his head and said, "I remember the instructor told us that you should not wear such a helmet when you skydiving!"

"It's right!" Dominic replied: "This may kill us, and they seem to have ignored a little bit, and the British paratroopers' helmets are also without brims!"

"No!" Qin Chuan said: "It's not that they ignore this, but that they can't find so many British paratrooper helmets!"

"So we're going to skydiving with this thing?" Werner raised his helmet with a disc.

"Come on, sergeant!" said the baker: "We are pretending to be British, and only the French cannot recognize them!"

"We may choose to do this!" Dominic said: "Tie the helmet to the backpack before skydiving, and put it on after landing."

The German soldiers couldn't help but nodded, and their backpacks were hung on an umbrella to land first, which would obviously improve the safety of the landing.

Two hours later, the transport plane flew over Algiers... As the capital of Algeria, its reaction was a bit too quiet.

After all, in any case, a large number of transport aircraft and fighter jets penetrated more than 200 kilometers deep into Algeria. Even if the French colonial army did not have radar, they would be prepared because of warnings from the people or border troops.

In other words, the French army didn't want to prepare at all.

The following facts proved that Qin Chuan's speculation was correct. The news spread by Germany in Algiers played a role, so that the French officers and soldiers thought that these aircraft flew over Algeria were British aircraft groups... During this period, they also shone a searchlight into the sky, and after seeing the British army icons on the plane, they chose to remain silent.

Most of the French grassroots officers still supported the Allied side, even though they hated the British. This prevented Algiers from getting news of the invasion of organic groups.

Algiers were actually not calm, because General Cesar, who held real power and hoped to join the Allied forces, was planning a mutiny... He hoped to seize Darlang and force him to order the French army to give up resistance and join the British army, and he even set time with the British army.

So, when he heard that the British plane had appeared over Algiers, he couldn't help but curse: "These damn British people, they always deceive their allies!"

"What's the benefit of doing this for them?" the staff officer asked.

"I'm going to ask those damn British people!" said General Cesar.

Then he quickly ordered his subordinates whom he could control to remain in motion to avoid conflict with the British army. On the other side, he immediately contacted the US ambassador Steve... Britain, and the United States persuaded General Cesar through Steve to surrender.

"What's going on?" General Cesar asked on the phone: "Didn't we decide to take action in two days?"

"What?" Steve, who had just crawled out of the bed, was confused when asked.

"Open the window and look at the sky!" General Cesar said: "There are British planes everywhere, and the British deceived us again!"

Steve walked to the window as he spoke, and saw British icons in the sky under the searchlight and couldn't help but scream: "God, what's going on?"

"You liars!" General Cesar's roar came from the phone: "I should have known that I can't believe you, just like you suddenly attacked our fleet. Now do you have to use the same trick again? Is it just a way to stabilize me to cooperate in launching a mutiny?"

"General Cesar!" Steve hurriedly replied: "Please believe me, I know nothing about these situations, and I can guarantee that the United States knows nothing about it..."

"I know it's British!" General Cesar said: "It's always British!"

General Cesar also had a grudge against the "blade plan" initiated by the British army, so he chose to surrender to the United States instead of the United Kingdom.

"Now, I beg you, General!" Steve said: "Let your subordinates not conflict with the British for the time being. I will understand the problem clearly before reporting it to you!"

"You'd better get faster!" General Cesar said, and hung up the phone angrily.

Steve hung up the phone and immediately sent a telegram to the US commander Eisenhower. Eisenhower angrily asked Montgomery. When he found out that Britain and the United States had not sent airborne troops, it was already twenty minutes later.

Steve was so surprised that his chin almost fell off when he heard the news. He hurriedly hung up a phone call to General Cesar and said, "General, we have been fooled. Those planes that are not British, they may be German!"

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then replied: "I already know!"

Of course, General Cesar knew that there were more than a dozen soldiers wearing British uniforms who spoke German, and more than a dozen black muzzles were facing him.

Although it was only twenty minutes, he was prepared to fight and there were many people leading the way... Of course, these people who led the way supported the British army, and the German army could also record them one by one, and after taking the way, they arrested them with guns.

Then, General Dallang's residence was immediately captured.

A fierce gunfight broke out here, and the French army was guarding a villa surrounded by iron fences and blazing bullets outside without hesitation... Darlang is an anti-British faction, or rather, he hopes to achieve a balance between Germany, Britain and the United States to allow France to survive in this troubled times. He even successfully gained the support of the United States.

This may sound strange: Germany is the enemy of Britain and the United States, but the United States supports the Vichy government under Germany's control... This relationship is so complicated that it makes people confused.

But in fact, this is normal. Britain wanted to control France, so it supported the Charles de Gaulle government in exile as a puppet, and the United States did not want Britain to enjoy the fruits of victory in the future... At this time, the United States was secretly competing with Britain to be the world's leader, so of course it had to support the Vichy government.
