Chapter 535: Kill All

On the morning of April 25, 1915, Qin Tian, ​​accompanied by a group of senior German generals and escorted by the guards, entered Paris. Paris at this moment has been completely reduced to ruins. There are charred rubble and collapsed buildings everywhere. The streets are densely covered with large and small bomb craters. Here, it no longer looks like a world famous cultural city.

Cars are impassable because the streets are littered with bomb craters. Qin Tian and the others had no choice but to walk. Walking in such a city full of ruins, Qin Tian was very moved. Sure enough, destruction is much easier than creation. It has been more than a thousand years since Paris was founded. It took thousands of years of development to create this city in the civilized world. However, in just one week, the German army blew up the city into ruins inside and out.

"boom!"

In the distance, there were sporadic gunshots, which made the guards around them very nervous. However, Qin Tian did not panic at all. He is undoubtedly very confident in the strength of his guards. After all, these guards are carefully selected elites from the army. The surrounding commanding heights are also full of snipers. If he was assassinated under such circumstances, he would really deserve to die.

"Is the resistance in the city still young and fierce?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Highness, there are only some sporadic resistance. Most of the French have chosen to surrender to us. Only a handful of people have chosen to continue fighting. We have already mobilized our troops, and we will deal with those French troops who persist The suppression has been carried out. Under the strangling of the snipers, these Frenchmen will not last long. It is estimated that in another three to five days, they will all be wiped out." Admiral Crook said.

After the French army surrendered to the German army and the whole of Paris fell into the hands of the German army, the four legions of the German army sent troops into Paris to take charge of the defense here and the task of eliminating the remnants of the enemy. Overall, the progress is pretty good.

"Paris has been taken by us. Are those French still obsessed with it? It will not do them any good if they continue to fight." General Bilo, commander of the 2nd Army, said.

"No matter what, we are the aggressors in the eyes of these French people. They should attack us. It's just that their behavior is completely like a car." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

Obviously, when the whole of Paris fell under the control of the German army, the behavior of these French people was no different from courting death. Of course, there is nothing wrong with them fighting for their country.

Qin Tian and his party walked all the way to the Seine River. The cities on both sides of the strait have been reduced to ruins. However, the river is still flowing quietly, as if it has not been affected at all.

The Eiffel Tower, once world-renowned, has collapsed under the shelling and bombing of the German army. A section of the pagoda fell into the river.

Looking at all this, Qin Tian said: "Everyone, we may be serious in those literary and art circles, and have become barbarians who destroy civilization!"

"Haha, so what about the barbarians? As long as we can win the war, even if we bear these infamy, what's the point?" said General Dimlin, commander of the 5th Army.

"Yes, we are soldiers, not so-called artists. Those cultural relics, in our opinion, are worthless. It is impossible for us to exchange the lives of soldiers for these useless things. "Admiral Crook said.

The other generals also nodded repeatedly. As soldiers, how do they think about winning? Or how to win with the least cost. As for other people's opinions, they simply ignored them.

Paris, which has been turned into ruins, has nothing to see. Therefore, Qin Tian and the others left Paris and returned to Versailles after taking a casual look around the city.

This made the entourage, especially the officers and soldiers of the guards, breathe a sigh of relief. After all, there are still resisting French people in the city. What if something unexpected happens?

After returning to Versailles, Qin Tian and several army commanders went directly into the war room to discuss the next phase of the battle.

"Your Highness, all generals. After we took Paris, the strength of the British and French coalition forces has been hit hard like never before. Now, the troops of the British and French coalition forces are mainly the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 5th troops of the French Army. The 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th are ten group armies. The British Expeditionary Force is only left with the 1st Army and the 5th Army. Although the Anglo-French Allied Forces have many numbers. However, their strength has already Not many. Among them, the 2nd Army of the French Army was almost completely wiped out by us in the battle of Champagne-Chalons. The remaining armies, except for the 11th and 12th Armies, were all It was severely damaged in the morning. The remaining strength of the French Army is only about one million. Moreover, the French 11th Army and 12th Army are still newly formed troops, and they are not even fully equipped with heavy weapons, let alone combat effectiveness. Yes. The 1st Army of the British Expeditionary Force was severely damaged by our army in Rouen, and also suffered heavy losses. The remaining troops in the army were less than 100,000. At the same time, the 5th Army of the British Expeditionary Force was also a newly formed force. The combat effectiveness is also very poor. In addition, according to the information we have received, the French government has issued an order to form three more group armies. In this case, the total strength of the British and French coalition forces will be about two million "Major General Manstein introduced.

The total strength of the British and French allied forces still seems to be more than that of the German Western Front. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the German army can easily defeat them. The troops of the British and French allied forces, except for the disabled troops, are newly formed troops. How much combat power can we count on such a force? Even when facing the elite troops of the British and French allied forces, the German army can easily win, let alone when facing these mobs.

"Everyone, although we have captured Paris. However, the French do not seem to intend to surrender. It seems that they still want to continue fighting. The two million British and French coalition forces may be their confidence. If we do not continue If we defeat them and make them pay a heavy price, they will not bow their heads and beg us for mercy. Therefore, this battle will continue until we completely defeat the French," Qin Tian said.

Since the French are ignorant, don't blame him for killing them all.
