"Will the French team at the landing site resist?" Neither the British nor the Americans were sure.

"We still don't know whether the French team will resist. If they resist, they will be wiped out on the spot; if they seize the gun, they will be treated equally! Please remember one thing: the French are not Germans or Japanese." Patton said in this way to his soldiers.

He was still optimistic.

The Allied 130,000 attacking troops met outside the Strait of Gibraltar and separated again.

He went straight into the Strait of Gibraltar controlled by the British, and after passing through the Strait, he divided his troops into two groups to attack Oran and Algiers in Algeria. Then he attacked Libya and Tunisia in the east, threatening the German and Italian legions behind the German and Italian legions to ease the threat to the Suez Canal and the Middle East, until he finally completely annihilated the German and Italian army and recovered the entire North Africa.

In order to prevent the German fleet from blocking the Strait of Gibraltar again, the other route was led by Patton and directly attacked Casablanca, a famous port in Morocco.

This is mainly the US team.

The Americans and the French did not have much grudges. During the United States and even during the Civil War, the French gave great support. Even after the establishment of the Vichy government, they had normal diplomatic relations with the Americans. So Patton estimated that the French would not attack the US military.

As for the other way, it's a little less certain.

The 30,000 British troops were mainly concentrated along the way, and a large number of British ships also followed along the way. Although the American fleet was the leader, the French already hated the British very much because of the British attacking the French fleet. It is hard to say that they would do any extreme actions.

On April 18, the Allied fleet passed through the strait and arrived near the port of Algiers at night.

"I hope the French team will not give us a problem. If you resist, annihilate it on the spot. If you resist without intention, turn on the searchlight vertically to show your friendship to the Allies." Eisenhower ordered.

The night was quiet, and more than 50,000 Allied troops were anxiously waiting for the last moment of the ultimatum time.

The Vichy government in France has long been in chaos, and quarrels between the various parties have continued. There is no unified opinion at all.

The German army was on the other half of French territory, while the Allied forces blocked the door on the other side. At the beginning of World War II, the French were standing in the same trench with the British. However, they finally surrendered, and the Vichy government was also a semi-puppet regime. The glory of the French power made them very unwilling to be controlled by the Germans, but they were unable to struggle.

"The world is disappointing, and life is full of absurdity." The spiritual lover of the new generation of Chinese people in the 1980s refused the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964. Jean-Paul Sartre, who rejected the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964, expressed the psychological feelings of the French in this era and even many people in the world in this era.

He also expressed a positive response: people are free and should be human-centered. In an unchangeable situation, constantly create their own existence through free choices. Take the burden of freedom and take responsibility for themselves and the entire world.

His views directly hit the fragile hearts of the confused French people, and existentialism and the torch plan that was delayed for nearly half a year were intertwined. Some of the waves have begun to cause.

Admiral Darlang, the commander-in-chief of the French Vichy government in Algiers in history because of visiting his son. In this time and space, Vichy, Betton and others were still unifying the opinions of all parties.

But the Germans' threat to half of France's remaining mountains and the French's former pride and honor finally made them hesitate to face the final choice.

The French top leaders have not had a unified opinion for a long time, but the French teams that are guarding each made free choices.

The last moment of the ultimatum came. The huge lamppost of the searchlight soared vertically into the night sky.

"The French guy is quite tactful!" Major General Ryder, who was responsible for the attack on Algiers on the east road, breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Receive the port!"

At the same time, he did not forget to remind him: "Be careful!"

With free choice, we can no longer comply with the unified opinions of the collective.

When the American warship entered the port of Algiers, someone in France fired another shot.

The American soldiers, who had been in a state of tension, immediately counterattacked, and the fierce shelling immediately attracted more French resistance, and the fortress artillery in the port also began to bombard.

Some French troops were still hesitating and quietly waiting for the final result.

Such a strange war continued. At the beginning of the battle, many things began to get out of control. Even the orders of the French senior officials who had an idea were thrown away by the lower-level officers on the front line. They could only safeguard their last duty as soldiers and resist all invading enemies.

Unlike nearly half of Algiers' soldiers who were still hesitating and confused, the resistance of Oran Port, which had been attacked by British people, was even more fierce, allowing those fledgling American recruits to experience the taste of tough battles.

But the resistance is even more intense from Casablanca.

In order to open the door to the world's largest movie gold mine and let Chinese movies embezzle Hollywood, when the 40 Years War was overwhelming and affected the United States, Meng Xiang acquired Universal Film Company.

Although Universal was the strongest film company in the founding stage of Hollywood, it was squeezed down by Migoyang after experiencing the economic crisis in the 1920s and 1930s.

After the founder Laimer was squeezed to the point of being behind in 36 years, Universal has been making a living by small productions, and even the only big stars in the company have escaped. This has also made Meng Xiang acquire it at a low price, and with the help of the many theaters it acquired, Universal has rejuvenated again.

In addition to "Star Wars" and "Shushan" that they collaborated with China, they also filmed some main theme films in accordance with the mainstream of the United States. Among them, they shot "Casablanca" shot by the original Warner Bros.

This film, released in 1942, not only made the new global signing star Ingrid Bergman famous, but also left a romantic and charming image of Casablanca in the minds of many Americans.

But at the beginning of the battle, the American recruits, full of longing, immediately realized what Patton said, and the war drifting everywhere made them fall from heaven to hell.

The French even dispatched planes to attack American warships and landing forces.

The French artillery fire once suppressed the 35,000 Americans along the way and could not raise their heads.

Accompanied by broken arms and limbs everywhere, heads with brain-filled rolling down, small intestines dragged in the grass with the smell of lunch, pools of blood in low-lying areas and corpses that began to crawl with insects and flies, these American recruits began their journey to hell in a struggle for death.

However, the journey is not long.

Although the French resistance was fierce, they lacked stamina.

Since its defeat, the French armament has been controlled by the Germans, and France's military industry is serving the Germans. The outdated weapons of the French team obviously cannot fight against the US team armed by the global war factories.

Three days later, the French army in Algiers took the lead in surrendering.

A week later, Port Oran was captured by more than 40,000 Allied troops.

It was not until ten days later that Casan Blanca was captured by Patton.

Compared with the total number of more than 16,000 US troops killed more than 8,000 people in Casablanca alone, the casualties of only 10,000 French people who took advantage of the geographical advantage really annoyed Patton a little. Even when Charles de Gaulle's free French team came to take over the captured French troops, he kept scolding and almost shot several French prisoners of war.

Although the Allied forces suffered more than 30,000 casualties this time, the strategic purpose has been achieved. The Allied forces' second battlefield has been opened and they have easily gained a foothold in North Africa.

The ability to involve the US Army in North Africa and build a huge meat minting farm is obviously in line with Meng Xiang's strategic deployment, and there is no excessive reminder to the Germans.

The unprepared Germans could only sit idly by and watch the French resist alone. All they could do was to directly lead the army south after the Algiers surrendered and completely occupied the entire France.

The Germans do not want other accidents to occur in these instability factors.

Rommel had to draw two divisions of troops, and together with three Italian divisions, strengthened Libya's defense.

It is no secret that the copycat companies are constantly supplying German weapons, fuel and other supplies in Libya, which makes Libya surely the Allied forces will have the next target of offensive.

Rommel, who knew the importance of counterfeit companies to the North African Legion better than the Allies, naturally did not dare to be careless and was always on guard against the Allies' next actions.

But when the German fleet was re-parking and intercepting outside the Strait of Gibraltar, and when the Germans drew troops to completely occupy the entire France, the Allies on the Western Front were temporarily silent. At the same time, on the Eastern Front, a larger battle broke out.
