"At the first shots of the imperialist invasion," writes General Giap, "General Leclerc estimated that the reoccupation of Vietnam would be a military walk-over. When encountering resistance in the South, the French generals considered it weak and temporary and stuck to their opinion that it would take ten weeks at most to occupy and pacify the whole of South Vietnam.

"Why did the French colonialists make such an estimate? Because they considered that to meet their aggression, there must be an army ... it was not possible for them to understand a fundamental and decisive fact: the Vietnamese Army, although weak materially, was a people's army...

In provoking hostilities, the colonialists had alienated a whole nation. And indeed, the whole Vietnamese nation, the entire Vietnamese people, rose against them. Unable to grasp this profound truth, the French generals, who believed in an easy victory, went instead to certain defeat."

Convinced that fear alone was keeping the French from making any move forward, the Algerian forces led by Ibrahim Agha came down from the plateau on the early morning of June 19 and attacked the two French divisions that had already disembarked.

The Algerian assault was repulsed and the French forces followed the Algerians to their camp up the hill, were the French artillery fire and bayonet charges eventually turned the Algerian retreat into a general rout. By midday the French had captured the Algerian camp and many of the forces assembled by the Dey went back home. In the camp, the French found riches, weapons, food and livestock that the Algerians had abandoned.

Despite the French success, Bourmont decided not to move any further until all the forces had been disembarked. Meanwhile in Algiers, Hussein Dey spent the next three days actively trying to gather the forces that had scattered after the battle.

🇫🇷🇷🇺 CRISIS WITH RUSSIA: 2€ FOR 1 LITER OF DIESEL !

📈 In France the price of diesel ⛽ just reached 2€ per liter. That is to say an average of 120€ for a full tank.

📌 In the 1990s it was 0.60€ per liter.

🔎 As a reminder, the Yellow Vests movement that caused troubles in France for 2 years was triggered by a small increase in fuel prices.

💥 So now, observers fear that this huge inflation, combined with the unfair presidential election of April 2022, will give birth to an even more agresssive populist movement.

⏳UPDATE 1 : prices now reached 2.50€ per liter in the region of Paris (20% of the French population) as stated by Automobile Magazine.

⏳ UPDATE 2 : some french citizen testified to @GalliaDaily that he saw gasoline at 3.17€ per liter in a gas station of Nancy.

Marseilles, in spite of Roze's zeal and activity, did not present less the most gloomy of aspects during those terrible weeks of August and September.

One sees them passing, under a sky of fire, these lamentable masses of dying people who wander at random in the crowded streets. We hear their cries and their hiccups of suffering.

Decayed corpses lying in the brooks next to already rotting domestic animals, stinking cloths covered with blood and pus, dislocated furniture, this is what one does not see, even in a city under assault.

Abandoned by all, even by their immediate relatives, even by their domestic animals, the plague victims of the Marseilles territory perished in great numbers, four out of five according to the official declarations.
