Chapter 293 Your achievements are unknown
August 27, 1944, Paris.
Both sides of the Avenue de Champs-de-France were crowded with onlookers. These people, both men and women, shouted slogans and waved the French flags they had just received. Some children rode on the heads of adults, and even young people climbed on them. The tops of the tall trees are looking into the distance.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the other end of the street. At the Place de la Concorde, a mixed force composed of various Allied forces was preparing to cross the Avenue de Champs-de-France for an entry ceremony without any rehearsal.
In fact, according to the original plan, the number of people attending the city entry ceremony exceeded 10,000, but for some reasons, this number was compressed.
This operation to liberate Paris was initiated by the French guerrilla uprising, and the main force for the peripheral siege was the Free French Second Armored Division. Major General Leclerc did not receive authorization from the Allied Command, and in principle it was considered a private disobedience. attack.
This will give other countries a negative impression that the Allies are very ununited, which Roosevelt absolutely does not want to see. (Especially in front of the Soviets)
In order to make up for this mistake, the Allied Joint Command Command issued a supplementary order a few hours ago confirming the legitimacy of this operation. At the same time, during the entry ceremony The hard requirement is to refer to multiple different allied armies.
This caused a problem. The second largest number of armed forces participating in the attack on Paris turned out to be the Japanese. The New Japan Founding Army sent a total of 1,500 troops to participate in the attack and repelled about a regiment. German mobile troops. (A guy with a black-hearted hawker background exaggerated the results of the war)
In order to solve this problem, under the order of Churchill, a reconnaissance battalion of the 9th Armored Division, which was originally regarded as a peripheral support force by Montgomery, advanced at full speed, rushing to the 26th Day and night, he entered the city of Paris and shamelessly joined the military parade.
Also receiving the order was the 12th Air Force of the US Army. About 200 of their pilots were pulled to downtown Paris in jeeps.
This kind of behavior similar to picking peaches made Major General Leclerc somewhat dissatisfied, but in the end he said nothing. After all, this was what Eisenhower and De Gaulle meant after joint discussions.
Eight Sherman tanks lined up at the front of the queue, followed by about 20 armored vehicles of various types. Without exception, every vehicle was full of people.
These soldiers had just entered the city and were very hastily prepared. Everyone was seizing the last moment to take care of themselves. Some of them still had freshly shaved beards on their faces.
"Okay! Gentlemen! Cheer up, this will be a day you will remember for the rest of your life." Major General Leclerc, who was sitting on the jeep, waved his hand and the convoy began to move forward slowly.
"La Marseillaise" sounded, the traffic rolled forward, and the mood of the citizens began to rise.
"Long live France!"
"Long live Free France!"
People were getting more and more excited. Some citizens followed the tank and stretched out their hands to the soldiers above. A tight handshake on a moving tank.
This is very dangerous, and soldiers may be accidentally pulled from the chariot by over-enthusiastic citizens.
Something flew out from the crowd. Those were flowers picked by the citizens early in the morning, and there was even fresh soil on the roots.
The most popular thing among the soldiers was the handkerchiefs with small gifts thrown out by the girls. The soldiers raised their hands and grabbed these things thrown by the young Parisian girls.
Some lucky people couldn't wait to open it as soon as they got the thing. There is a high probability that they can find a perfume-scented letter inside, with the girl's address and a hot lip print at the end.
Of course, soldiers who didn’t grab it don’t have to be discouraged. Paris is a place with an open atmosphere. As long as your image is not too bad, you can basically get a hug from an excited girl if you can. If you're a bit handsome, it's not impossible to have a passionate kiss.
The most popular one is a Dodge utility truck. Unlike other vehicles, its entire body is covered with garlands and ribbons, and there is a beautifully dressed French girl on it.
Off-white waist-cinching dress, beige short windbreaker, lake green silk scarf, very ordinary clothes make women look stunning in them, especially those lips with bright lipstick that make the Parisian guys below. It's crazy.
"Rensa! Rensa! France's Rensa! Our Rensa!"
Extremely excited shouts came from below. Many people stretched out their hands to the girl, hoping to touch her. Touching the hem of her clothes, the girl also bent down and interacted enthusiastically with the citizens. "Who is this? Why are people so enthusiastic about her." He Chi withdrew from the open window and turned to ask Christine, who was still in bed.
"The announcer of Radio Paris, the goddess of victory in France, risked her life the night before yesterday during the most stalemate of the battle to use the radio to ask for help from the Allies and called on the people of Paris to expel the invaders. ...Kristen found He Chi looking at her with strange eyes while she was talking.
"Didn't you do that?"
The French girl covered her mouth with her hands, narrowed her eyes and giggled: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, she was temporarily replaced. "
Then Christine sat up straight, "Hey, you also know me. It's not convenient to show up at the front desk with this status, but too many people heard the broadcast that night, so the Allied Forces found a girl to stand at the front desk after asking for my opinion."
"A vase? "He Chi glanced at the young and beautiful figure outside and said subconsciously.
“Not really.” Kristen followed He Chi’s example and shrugged in an unladylike manner. “Her father is the third figure in the Vichy French Propaganda Department. He is a fence-sitter. In Free France I also provided news during the most difficult times.”
"Pushing her out is to repay his father, and to reassure those Vichy French wallflowers."
"Aren't you going to liquidate the traitors?" He Chi looked at Christine and noticed the other person's face Very peaceful.
"You know, I usually don't get involved in political matters." Kristen leaned her head on He Chi's shoulder and played with her nails like a little girl.
“According to Charles’s intention, most people will not be included in the attack scope. After all, these people control a large amount of wealth and art in France. If everyone flees abroad, it will be a loss to the country. ."
"Except for a few people on the list, others will not be severely punished after handing over most of their illegal property, at least for a year or two."
The girl suddenly changed the topic. She leaned forward, stared into He Chi's eyes and said playfully, "Speaking of which, you also put the word "beautiful vase" on my head back then, right?"
"Is there any? Sorry, it's been too long, I don't remember." He Chi secretly shouted that he couldn't answer it. This was a question that couldn't be answered at all, so he just lay on the bed and closed his eyes and pretended to be stupid.
There was a rustling sound in his ears, and He Chi thought the other party had given up.
Suddenly feeling a weight on his lower abdomen, the Oriental opened his eyes and found that the girl was boldly straddling him.
"Did you say it? I want to know now." The girl pressed He Chi's chest with her slender fingers.
"You can't touch your wound. It's better to come down."
"I know, so you can't resist and hurt me." Kristen was laughing and joking like He Chi.
"Um, I seem to hear a sound outside the door..."
"Tsk, this is a hospital, who would come in, I don't believe it, don't try to change the subject."
Click! The door opened, and Benjamin burst in wearing a bandage.
