My own war game

Chapter 295
"He, I may be gone for a while." Kristen said from the other side.

"Disappear for a while? Do you mean going back to England?" He Chi looked at the French girl opposite him and had some guesses in his mind.

As expected, Christine continued, "Paris has been liberated. Charles will soon come here to take charge of the work. In about three months to six months, the Free French structure will gradually complete the transition to the French Provisional Government."

He Chi nodded. Free France had the flavor of a makeshift government in exile, and it was inevitable that it would reopen after the victory.

Of course, the establishment of a provisional government is also a process of dividing the cake. The reshuffle of power in the French government can even affect the entire post-war European landscape. It can be said that this is a very important matter.

The French girl paused and then said in a calm voice, "He, I do not intend to take any position in the new French government."

? ? ! ! ! !
He Chi was very surprised by the girl's decision. Christine was currently the de facto No. 1 in the Free French intelligence system and ranked in the top five in Charles de Gaulle's staff system. If one understood it in a normal way, Christine should at least be given a large strawberry on the cake of the provisional government.

"Why?" He Chi asked the girl the question in his mind.

Christine changed her sitting position and said, "You don't really understand. My official position in Free France has always been Mr. Charles de Gaulle's first assistant. Taking over intelligence work was just a helpless move at the beginning when we were short of staff. I didn't expect that the business would become so big later."

"Starting this year, I have been deliberately separating myself from the intelligence system. If everything goes well, the French Intelligence Department will be officially established next spring, and Pierre Mardou will become its first director."

He Chi frowned and asked, "Is this what Charles de Gaulle meant?"

Christine shook her head and smiled, "No, Charles tried very hard to get me to stay. This is my personal opinion."

The girl put her slender hand into the palm of the oriental man. "He, I am actually a very mediocre person. If I hadn't met you back then, maybe now I would just be a wife of an official who discusses the quality of furs and the taste of afternoon tea snacks at home."

"I am honoured to have played my part in France's renaissance, but now it is time for others to take over."

"only these?"

"Of course, I also have selfish motives, because only when I am no longer a French intelligence officer can I truly have my own life." After saying this, Christine glanced at the Oriental man.

He Chi said in Chinese, "Retire at the peak of your career? Success doesn't have to be mine?"

"What?" Christine didn't understand.

He Chi translated the same meaning into French.

The girl nodded and smiled. "The language art of the East is really amazing. That's what I mean."

She then went on to say, "I will probably spend one to two years in self-information isolation, without any communication during this period, so that my confidentiality level will be reduced to non-top secret, and then I can enter a semi-retired state."

At this point she said playfully, "I will be able to date casually at that time. If you want to go to the movies with me, remember to make an appointment."

He Chi looked at the French girl and knew that she had made up her mind, so he nodded and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I have no reason not to support you. When do you start?"

"Next month, when Cielwan arrives in Paris, I will be responsible for coordinating his security. Once everything is up and running, I will officially leave this position."

When leaving, Christine gave He Chi a light kiss, opened the second-floor window and waved goodbye like a little girl.

He Chi looked at the beautiful silhouette in front of him, but his mind was filled with thoughts.

Christine once possessed a large number of Free France secrets, among which there must have been some dark history that could not be exposed to the public. These things could not be forgotten by a period of information isolation.

If she really wanted to step down, it would be difficult to ensure that her successor would not play the same trick. In this case, if Free France wanted to protect Christine and let her retire successfully, it could only trust Charles de Gaulle's personal political character.

Although it is said that the character of this French Restorationist was impeccable in history, can people involved in politics really be so pure?
He Chi expressed doubt.

As it turned out, his worries were not groundless.

The next morning, when he arrived at the ward, someone was already there.

"Please wait a moment. An important conversation is going on inside. If you want to visit, please come back in the afternoon." A sturdy man blocked the door.

He Chi was stunned at first, then explained, "I am a friend of Christine and I am affiliated with the Sixth Division."

"I know you, Mr. He, but the conversation inside is an internal affair of Free France. Even allies need to temporarily avoid it." The other party had no intention of backing down.

He Chi's face darkened and he took a step forward, while the man opposite him clenched his fists in preparation for any emergency.

"Please let him in. This conversation is over."

When the conflict was about to break out, Christine's voice was heard from inside.

The man at the door hesitated for a moment, but finally gave way.

Christine was sitting at the head of the bed and had just finished a conversation with another young woman. When the girl saw He Chi come in, she deliberately put away the notebook in her hand.

"That's all for today. If there's anything else you need to pay attention to later, I'll contact you again." Christine said to the two people.

The two looked at each other, then nodded to Christine and left the house.

They didn't say a word to He Chi during the whole process.

"Who are these two?" He Chi asked as he sat next to Christine.

"Pierre Madou's two assistants have been ordered to help me coordinate security work one month later." Christine said calmly.

"Two supervisors?" He Chi said immediately, and then gave the girl a look that said "I don't want to hear lies."

"Well, you are right. They are Pierre Madou's latest intelligence officers. One is from the North African combat troops, and the other is promoted from the guerrillas. Maybe Pierre wants to use his own people."

"Feeling uncomfortable?" He Chi put the woman's hand in his palm.

"A little bit." Christine sighed and said with some sadness, "Although I took the initiative to propose the handover of power, Pierre seemed a little too impatient."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm not sure..." Christine hesitated at this time.

"My advice is that you must respond." He Chi helped the girl back to her position, making her lie more comfortably, and then continued.

“You should send a signal: I can give you rights, but if you fight for them, your hands will be broken.”
