Chapter 1927： The Devil's Articles

"Of course, if this battle is successful, then we will be very close to victory. The rest is not determined by the ground war. I will rush to the navy and defeat the British fleet. The ground offensive will naturally stop. "The prince said.

Actually, even the current German army will rest for a while after a large-scale offensive. During this time, the prince will lead the high seas fleet to attack the large fleet. Battles at sea will not last for a few months like battles on land, and may be the result of a few days. Regardless of whether the maritime battle is won or lost. The war will end. The only difference is whether Germany can squeeze enough benefits from the British. From the time point of view, the Western Front really cannot wait for the next battle. Therefore, the prince’s promise to the French is true. But it is also a bad check. Because there is not enough time for the Germans to launch a second battle.

"His Royal Highness, although you have made two plans to deal with the French cooperation or non-cooperation, but from a military point of view, it is not worth the gain. The British legion is in the north, and the French are in the middle and south. We At the same time, be prepared to attack in two directions. A large number of materials, supporting firepower and troops must be arranged separately, which is equivalent to diluting our strength. If we only choose to attack one point, then our strength will be more concentrated. , The odds of winning are also great." General Crook said.

Is there any truth to what Crook said? There must be! It’s best to have only one core goal in the battle plan. Whether you want to take into account two goals or choose one of the two, you will assign forces to the two goals at the same time during plan formulation, which will naturally lead to the dispersion of forces. For example, you start to prepare to break through the French position on the center line, but the French agreed to the prince’s suggestion, revealing a gap at the junction of the northern line and the British army, but the corps you deployed on the center line will not be available in a short time. Now, thousands of artillery pieces and hundreds of thousands of troops were left idle. This is indeed a waste. But the prince has his own ideas.

"Leave aside the political significance, nor do we mention our huge advantage once the French let go of the gap. I will only say one thing, that is, the front troops of Mackensen’s regiment will arrive in the West in three weeks. The second batch of reinforcements of the Austro-Hungarian Army will also arrive. In this way, our strength will be quite abundant. Before the war, our number will not be lower than that of the British and French coalition forces. After the war, to the climax of the battle, our total The troops may be more than 300,000 more than the opponent! So good, now tell me, General Crook, do you still think our troops are not enough? I feel that this front can no longer accommodate so many troops!" Lu Precht said with a smile.

"I'm going, happiness came too suddenly." This matter is not even known to Little Mochi, in fact, this is also normal, because this news is sent by the Navy, and Admiral Scheer has reached agreement with Mackensen. The latter agreed to immediately transfer the Eastern Front Army to the Western Front, and the Navy expressed its willingness to provide transportation and cover. Thus, the German army on the Western Front was strengthened for the second time!

And in this way, the huge military power on the Western Front has been somewhat "overflowed", and the current military power is already enough for the prince to squander it. Therefore, the prince has sufficient confidence to choose two goals at the same time, anyway, the result will not be bad. And if the operation of the prince is successful, then the income is really big and a little amazing! If the British are lucky, I am afraid it will be a World War I version of Dunkirk retreat? If unfortunate. Then don't say...

When 　　 is full of good cards, naturally you can do whatever you want. As for, why not tell the French that they have great advantages in the meeting just now, and at the same time put more pressure on the French? On the one hand, the French may not believe it, on the other hand the prince needs to leave enough cards in his hand. As for the third point? The prince now wants to know what the attitude is inside France.

The last point to make it clear is to give the French a chance to dream. Through this contact, the prince can feel that although the French are aware of the final result, they still want to stay alive! Think about it, there are still millions of troops, even if the arrogant French people seek a more appropriate time for peace talks.

In short, in this negotiation, Ruprecht emphasized the advantage of the German army, but this advantage did not become a victory in the eyes of the French! So from an objective point of view, the French can still choose between a wave of war and peace talks. If the French senior management now agrees with the prince’s opinion, it means that the French have indeed considered the possibility of future French-German reconciliation strategically. Then it shows that the prince's generosity is valuable.

And if this wave tells the French that you are dead, and if there is another 1 million army, then objectively speaking, it means that the French have no choice. Even if it yields, it may be forced to yield, and subjectively it may still be hostile to Germany. Many teenagers When the international situation changes again, the French still have to embark on the road of confrontation with Germany. If this is the case, then the current concessions are meaningless!

In short, the time has come to determine the fate of the French. The decisions made by the French at this time are even more important than the decisions made later! If the French are acquainted. Then everything is easy to say, if the French don't know each other. Germany and France are still the enemy, and even if the war is over, Germany will not let go of any chance to weaken France! It was impossible to turn over until France was completely pressed on the ground!

At the same time, Clemenceau and Xiafei, who have returned to Amsterdam, are also considering how to write reports to the senior management. From walking out of Brussels to returning to Amsterdam, the two people feel like dreaming on the way. They have thought about countless times. This is the scene when the two parties have a meeting. But I never thought that it turned out to be such a situation!

The biggest enemy of the Allied Powers actually claimed to have a certain affinity for France, and said that this time they could also conditionally release the French. And the most unbelievable thing is that although the prince's words feel a bit absurd, they are clearly organized and logically rigorous! Even Clemenceau and Xiafei believed it!

That's right, the current Clemenceau and Xiafei believed at least 60% of what the prince said! Even Clemenceau felt that if he were a German commander, if he had enough IQ, he would come up with such an approach!

"From a military point of view, if the Germans attack us with all their strength, can we stop it?" Cremonceau asked.
