Chapter 1928: The heart of the French

"Sir, at this time, it doesn't make sense for us to consider how many enemies we can eliminate in one battle, or how much lost ground we can recover. The Western Front is different from the Eastern Front. You can break through, intersperse, divide and encircle on the Eastern Front. But on the Western Front Except for very few fortresses, a huge part of the place actually has limited military significance. The entire Western Front is a millstone, into which countless lives and national power are thrown into ashes."

"Prince Ruprecht sees the problem very thoroughly. He does not expect to hit Paris in a single attack. Because it is difficult. And there is no need. His idea is to eventually drag us down through consumption again and again. But this This kind of damage is even greater than directly smashing Paris! Can you imagine a France where the treasury is completely empty and the people are destroyed by a generation? Maybe after this war, we don’t even have many young people of the right age. We are now. In the future overdraft." Xia Fei said.

　　 "Then what do you think of the strategy proposed by the government? First win a battle, and then we will negotiate with the advantage on the battlefield?" Cremonceau asked.

"This idea is simply naive. You only need to understand one thing to know that this strategy is simply fart! Let alone how we won a battle. Even if we do, we ask for negotiations, but the Germans do not accept what you can do? "Xiafei sneered.

"You should know that it is Crown Prince Ruprecht who is commanding the entire Western Front! He holds the most elite force in Germany! He has enough redundancy to bear certain failures! Even with our best record, Whether it’s offensive or defensive, our exchange ratio has never been lower than 1.3 to 1! What does this mean? We always lose out against the Germans! The Germans fail once, twice, three times, it doesn’t matter. They can still play The fourth time. But even if we win, we won once or twice! But can we win the third time! The so-called victory is nothing but a Pinot victory! This kind of victory we come twice, France It's dead!"

"As for those who speculate from a political point of view, if Ruprecht fails, then he will bear huge political pressure. And thus may be dismissed? This is simply a idiot! Ruprecht is a crown prince, He is the future heir to the kingdom. The Bavarian Legion is only loyal to him and not the Kaiser. If Ruprecht is replaced, the German General Staff will not be able to command the Bavarian Legion. Consider the current political situation in Germany. Therefore, In this case, the high level of Germany will be very patience with the prince! A loss at the battle level will not shake the prince's status!"

"Well, returning to the original question, I don't think that Petain can win a so-called victory in the face of an advantageous German army. Simply holding a certain location or maintaining the front is not a victory. For the Germans It is said that to consume us with a better war damage ratio is victory. The Germans are waiting for us to collapse!" Xiafei said.

　　 "What if the United States is added? The U.S. government has shown us that it is willing to mediate the war between France and Germany." Clemenceau said anxiously like a drowning man who grabbed the last straw.

"The Americans are not credible. They are just vultures who are reaping profits. And you think about it, the United States will unite the Germans to deal with the Japanese after the war. How could Roosevelt offend the Germans so badly at this time?" Xiafei asked in return. . "In U.S.-German relations, Germans always have more bargaining chips than Americans."

　　 "Do you mean that we want to accept the terms of the Germans?" Clemenceau looked at his colleague with a complicated expression, the general who had fought with the Army of Asia Minor and Bavaria on the Western Front.

"I am a soldier, not a politician. I can only analyze the problem from my professional perspective. I don't know what political choices will be. But I know. The situation on the battlefield no longer depends on us. , And it depends on our opponents. Our life and death depend on each other’s thoughts!” At this time Xia Fei finally told the truth. He had no hope for a long time. Now Xia Fei really prefers to believe that the Germans are willing to let themselves go. Yima would never believe what the British said, one effort can turn things around!

　　 "Can we believe the words of the German crown prince? The relationship between France and Germany can really be improved? Alsace and Lorraine really want to leave their home country forever?" Clemenceau said very unwillingly.

"Belgium and the Netherlands belonged to us during Emperor Napoleon's time. In this war, we chose Britain. However, the United Kingdom could not allow us to regain the lost territory. Instead, it dragged France to the brink of collapse of the war. Look at the battlefield, the British. How many have died, how many have we died, the British have a population of more than 40 million, and we only have less than 40 million, but our casualties are more than twice as high as the British! This is not fair! We use our own blood to maintain The hegemony of the British!" Xiafei said angrily ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There was a contradiction between Britain and France, but now, under tremendous pressure, France has shown various unstable states. This situation has even spread to the top. Many of the high-ranking officers expressed their dissatisfaction with the number of the British army. The army made up of the British population and territory is actually less than 60% of the French. This makes the French unacceptable! As for the British navy?

　　Please, the French have now come to the question of whether they want to move their capital. Who would think about the benefits of the British navy? The French now only think about the army, only their own business! Now, even Chaffee, who participated in the Balkan War, thinks that it is a very wrong thing to let the French army fight in the Balkan Peninsula and Asia Minor. These two battlefields have greatly consumed the fighting power of France!

　　 Xiafei's attitude is already obvious. Although it is not stated clearly, Xiafei has already expressed dissatisfaction and even hostility towards the British. Some attitudes tend to consider the suggestions of the Germans. As an old youtiao who has mixed up with the top of the military, Xia Fei detailed the comparison of military power and national power between the two sides in the report written by him, and then let the officials come to a conclusion for themselves-if the German army really If you concentrate on fighting the French army, then the time for France to play GG is definitely not far away!

　　 In fact, not only Xia Fei is this view, many people in the top French army, if political factors are aside, they have actually agreed with this view. The possibility of the French wanting to win on the battlefield is almost zero!
