Chapter 2012: On the importance of routines

"No matter how fast our frontal breakthrough is, it is definitely not as fast as the transfer of the British. The density of railways in France is ten times higher than that of the Russian Poland! And in two years, the British have laid a large number of Light rail, in this way, their mobility is too high, if it is a normal battlefield breakthrough, as long as the British want to go, we can hardly catch up. More importantly, even if we form a breakthrough on the ground front, A breach of several hundred meters to 2 kilometers wide is too insignificant for the entire battle line that is more than 200 kilometers long. To shake the entire battle line, we need too much, long time. Moreover, even if the British line of defense is If the fight is torn apart, then the British can still withdraw through the English Channel. We have tested the effect of the air force on the Strait transport unit. Generally speaking, the effect is acceptable during the day, but the British can withdraw at night."

"In response to this situation, His Royal Highness Ruprecht believes that if we want to completely destroy the British Expeditionary Force, we must do two things. The first is to open a wide enough gap in the front of the British defense line at a very fast speed. . In order to allow at least 8 rapid divisions or more troops to break through at a very small cost, and then quickly bypass the British rear, destroy the military stations, railways and warehouses, thereby restricting the movement of the frontline British troops. The second point is that the French must be excluded. The impact is that we are going to bypass hundreds of kilometers of front to encircle millions of British troops. Our frontal enemy is already very strong, and if the French help the British, our strategy will definitely not be realized."

"So, the key that really determines whether we can eat the British expeditionary force in one bite is not the German offensive, but the French attitude. I think General Pershing's document should also mention similar ideas? Because we want to It is the result of the annihilation war, not the defeat war.” Count Hogner said.

　　 For this, Roosevelt was silent. Because he really has no reason, he can disbelieve the German rhetoric, but he can not but believe the black old man Pershing! Pershing mentioned many times in the report that "even in the most advantageous situation, it is impossible to repeat the Polish pocket on the western front by military means alone." And for Ruprecht's strategy and tactics of "letting the fortress collapse from the inside", Pershing also knows and appreciates it.

You know, Pershing is the oldest and most senior officer in the U.S. military. His opinions basically represent the opinions of the U.S. military. Although the U.S. military has limited political influence, in the military, people are professional after all. Yes, if Pershing approved the plan, even if Roosevelt was no longer happy, he could not say that the plan was not working.

　　 And now, where is the plan that both Germany and the United States agree with? The French did not respond. And what if the French have the confidence to reject the goodwill of the Germans when they are absolutely disadvantaged? One thing absolutely can't escape the eyes of everyone here, that is, the Americans previously expressed their willingness to mediate the war to the French!

"In the end, it was the attitude of the French that made this plan wrong. On this issue, your country has obviously mishandled a little. Previously, your country's diplomatic agency sent the wrong signal to the French to make the French make a decision about the situation. Misjudgment. They thought they were confident with the help of your country, so they rejected our goodwill. Ask yourself, do you think this is really appropriate? How many plans in the world have problems because some details are not well controlled." Count Hogner said sternly.

　　 "Fuck, how do I feel like I'm being tricked?" Roosevelt suddenly felt like he was falling into the hole. "Is it all my fault for a long time?" Roosevelt felt really aggrieved! However, even if Roosevelt did not want to admit it, he could never blame Germany on this issue!

　　 After all, negotiations between allies need to be reasonable. The US government represented by Roosevelt is obviously unreasonable. Without telling its allies, it will first contact the hostile country. Not to mention that the Germans are uncomfortable. The US military actually has quite a lot of opinions. Pershing once mentioned in a telegram to Roosevelt that "The attitude of the United States at this time may lead to unpredictable consequences." You see, you can't be used to it, how can you talk about it with the Germans!

　　 "But your country shouldn't have peace talks with the British." Roosevelt was a little lacking in confidence now.

"His Royal Highness Ruprecht is only the crown prince of Bavaria, and does not represent the whole of Germany. There are different opinions within your country, and your will may not be able to carry out. Then in Germany, the actions of the crown prince appeared to be very different, and then the opposition It is normal to bounce back. We don’t have to blame each other on this matter. What I want to say is that Prince Albert’s attitude does not represent His Highness Ruprecht, and His Highness still wants to save Some things. And this matter requires the cooperation of your government." The foreshadowing is almost complete, and Earl Hogner begins to talk about the real core issues. (Prince Albert said, yes, I'm back for someone again.)

　　Everyone is an ally~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Sometimes the issue of responsibility can’t be said too clearly, and it’s easy to hurt feelings if you make it clear... The most important thing is that the problem must be solved! It's a shame to verbally abuse each other, it's true to solve the problem!

"For the common interests and purposes of our two countries, Prince Ruprecht decided to save our previous plan as much as possible. If this time, the two countries can cooperate. His Royal Highness is willing to withstand domestic pressure and continue to implement the previous plan. Plan.” With that, Earl Hogner delivered a document to Roosevelt.

　　 "Is this really all right?" Roosevelt said after taking a look.

"Mr. President, please deal with this document first. The only people who have read the contents of this document are His Royal Highness and you. I have not read them. You should have read the confidentiality measures outside the document box. There is no problem at all. "Earl Hogner said. "You can tell a person you like, as the plenipotentiary representative of the United States of America, and go to Brussels to discuss this matter with His Royal Highness personally. In addition, I want to say that your Secretary of State is not suitable for this representative. , Because he did something inconsistent with his identity!"

　　 "Something that doesn't match the identity?" Roosevelt was a little confused.

"After attending the canonization ceremony of the crown prince of Austro-Hungary, Robert Lanshin met some people. I think you should know about this. Mr. Robert's meeting with politicians who have never been masked can never say Exchange feelings in private, right?" Count Hogner said.
