Churchill had no doubt about what Ambassador Mark had said. If he wanted to control the French government, the tank corps in de Gaulle's hand became extremely important.
As mentioned before, France did not attach importance to armored troops before World War II, resulting in a scarcity of armored troops throughout the country.
The tank corps of the Paris garrison, at present, has already been the assembly of most of France's armored troops.
With control over this tank corps, de Gaulle also enjoyed a high status and reputation within the entire Paris garrison.
Furthermore, with the Army Undersecretary Ron in the French government, it was not impossible to jointly control the French government.
But the problem was that both de Gaulle and Ron were a level below in terms of identity and status and were clearly unable to become the leaders of a militarized French government.
