Chapter 1804: Shake two
General Haig thinks that the explanation is justified and well-founded, but it depends on whether you listen to it or not.
"However, this is still just your guess. What I want to ask is, if your guess is wrong, who can bear the consequences? I can tell you clearly that the French Republic cannot afford another loss of more than 400,000 troops. Failure, don’t think we still have more than 2 million regular troops on the front line, but the whole country is close to the threshold. If your guess is wrong, then no one can bear the result, if something happens that makes you and I feel unable to Accept the things, then I can only say sorry."
Wei Gang's words can be divided into two parts to understand. The first half of the paragraph vaguely put forward Haig's statement, which is very irresponsible, because the cost of this failure is too great for Haig to bear. At the same time give the British people the bottom line. Such a large-scale land warfare has been overwhelming for France. If the British want to continue fighting, they must bear more responsibilities.
The second half of the sentence is to warn the opponent that if necessary, the French Republic may negotiate alone! This is the deadliest! If France had given up, there would be no point for Britain to stick to it, and this sentence really shocked Haig! Because Wei Gang, the chief of staff of the French army, said this in front of General Haig and the surrounding British officers in the command of the British Expeditionary Force!
"What to look at! I'll go on my own!" General Haig said sharply. Afterwards, he turned around and said to General Wei Gang, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Sorry, I'm just stating a fact. I hope your country can face this problem squarely." General Wei Gang said. "As a soldier, I can die on the battlefield, but my country must survive."
"Then what is the bottom line of your country?" Haig was also a little uncomfortable, and Wei Gang's statement even made Haig unbearable even more than losing 7 divisions.
"The territory of France must remain intact. Belgium must exist as an independent country." Wei Gang thought for a while and said.
"Hehe." Haig really deserves to be an old fritters. He soon felt the difference. The territory of France must remain intact. What about Belgium? Independence is certain, but will the territory become less? This is not what the French are worried about.
"Then General Wei Gang, I would like to ask a question. If this time, in the best situation, we cannot defeat Germany, will we have hope in the future? When the Germans digest the stolen land from the east After that, why do we fight against a German Empire with an area of more than 1 million square kilometers and a population of over 100 million? And an Austro-Hungarian Empire that may surpass France? I can guarantee that if we retreat, then the historical status of France will be in history. The lowest, even after the Franco-Prussian War, France is still higher than France at that time!" General Haig said.
General Haig’s words are correct. If the Allied powers digest the fruits of victory in the east, not only will Germany completely crush France, but even Austria will be able to surpass France on paper, and count as the Tsarist Empire. The successor can then be French. Properly dropped to fourth in Europe. General Haig's implication is, can the proud French really accept this situation?
"Moreover, why do you think that the Germans will accept the opinions of France and honestly withdraw from French territory, instead of delimiting the border on the spot and pressing the border line to the door of Paris?" It seems to be said just now. The results were not strong enough, and General Haig added some more information.
"I can't answer you this question." General Wei Gang said, but from the eyes of the French chief of staff, General Haig could feel that the other party was fully assured!
"Fuck, is the world changing too fast, or am I unable to keep up with the situation?!" Now General Haig felt that this time, Wei Gang came here not to persuade himself to stop the offensive, but to prepare an ultimatum... ... To put it in another fashion, the French have gone further and further on the road of right-leaning surrenderism, and they are ready to go back...
With Haig’s political IQ, he didn’t know what the French did to get the Germans out of French territory, but he believed that since the French dare to speak out on this occasion, he must be ready!
"Your Excellency Commander, the Prime Minister gave you a call." At this moment, the Chief of Staff hurried forward and said to General Haig.
"Sorry, General Wei Gang, I have to deal with some things." General Haig said apologetically. Then left.
"General Haig, no matter what method you use, I will continue the offensive." In the first sentence of receiving the call, the opposite Prime Minister Asquith said straightforwardly.
"But the French want to stop their offensive, and they even prepare..." General Haig said.
"Listen, even if the French want to stop the offensive, the British must bear it independently. I will add 400,000 troops to the west within a month. There are hundreds of thousands of tons of equipment and ammunition, and even naval aviation. I can temporarily supplement it to you ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to make up for the recent loss. Okay, let’s not talk about anything else. Chamberlain will arrive in France later today and he will introduce you to the current situation. Tell you now Wei Gang, and the French behind them, our attitude is firm, and our strength is enough!" Prime Minister Asquith didn't give General Haig time to tell the facts and said straightforwardly.
"Prime Minister, why do I have a feeling that we are almost on the edge of the cliff?" General Haig asked.
"It's not a feeling, but it's true!" Special Envoy Chamberlain will explain everything to you. Okay, now there is only one thing you have to do, which is to use your ingenuity and do your best to win this battle. We must at least gain some strategic advantages!
"Okay, I will try my best." General Haig said.
"All for Britain! The British Empire hopes that everyone who participates in this war can fulfill their duties!" Prime Minister Asquith said solemnly.
Half an hour later, when General Wei Gang saw General Haig again, he found that the opponent was like a lion full of fighting spirit.
"General Wei Gang, please tell your government, no matter what the situation is, the British Empire will fight to the end! We will never bow to the Germans! If you cannot afford such a loss, then you can choose to retreat, But the army of the British Empire will never take the initiative to retreat!" General Haig said.
