"Now, you are still deceiving yourself and others!" Petain was really convinced of Foch. At this time, Foch would still have such naive fantasies!
"Of course I would like to believe that what you are saying is true, but what if things get to the point that we don't want to see them? Who do you count on to save France? Who treats those who could have survived but ended the war The hundreds of thousands of French men who died tragically on the battlefield because of some people’s decisions are responsible? Can you bear this responsibility? The war is over for us. I only think about one thing now, that is, how to do it. It is possible to reduce the loss of France, and then send the millions of French who have been on the battlefield home safely!"
"Am I doing this wrong? And you! Knowing that we have no chance of victory in the military, why let the war go on! Why should we hesitate when the Germans are willing to let us go?"
"You will definitely go to hell! Because of your decision, hundreds of thousands or even millions of outstanding French fighters will die in vain! Because of your decision, Germany may spare no effort to suppress France! Then use various means to change France. Become a worthless country!" Petain's almost hysterical roar resounded throughout the room, while Foch, who was opposite, slumped weakly on his seat.
At this moment, the doorbell rang outside the house. Petain cleared up his emotions and went to open the door, and the attendant outside the door sent him several newly collected documents. Later, Petain threw one of the copies in front of Foch, and he himself began to look through the information in his hands.
After half an hour, with a snap, Petain slammed the information in his hand on the table!
"Over 70% of the three most powerful heavy bomber wing of the Empire, Lancers, and Neuschwanstein have been relocated to the airfield in the center line. This is the result of radio detection. Their call signs and telegrams The method is exactly the same as before, and the sending position has also been confirmed."
"More than 80% of the German front-line airports we currently know are full of aircraft. This is definitely a large-scale mobilization. This was collected by aeronautical intelligence. Our pilots have witnessed large-scale operations at these airports. Drop activity."
"As for the army, the five Bavarian armored divisions that have been deployed in Belgium are determined to go to the western front, do you know? In Asia Minor, the two Bavarian armored divisions destroyed the most commanded by General Xiafei in a frontal battle. The elite 150,000 French army! Our army armed with the best officers and soldiers and the best equipment was defeated within a few days."
"Do you know what this means? Foch! You bastard!" Petain said every word.
"The situation now only proves that the Germans might act on us. Although the result is very bad, the British will not die, right?" Foch sorted out his thoughts and said.
"What you want to know doesn't make any sense to France now. To be honest, your judgment of the strength of the enemy and us may be biased, but the general direction is not wrong. The fundamental reason why you want to persevere is It's not that you think the French army can block the opponent. The fundamental reason is two points." Petain stretched out **** and said.
"The first point is that the British air force has the advantage, which can effectively block the Germans' subsequent attacks. Of course, it seems that the British cannot even guarantee the sky above their heads, so this point is no longer valid.
"As for the second point? It's a bit ironic. It is precisely because of the goodwill shown by Crown Prince Ruprecht that you have the courage to fight against Germany, because you know that the Germans cannot attack the British and French armies at the same time. Since the prince decided to attack the British, there will be no heavy pressure on the French side. Therefore, you are not afraid of the Germans, but because you believe that the Germans will not target us!"
"Don't refute my words. Look at your performance just now. It has proven your weakness! You are more afraid of the Bavarian Legion than I am! Are you?" Petain's words revealed a strong sneer.
"So, what do we do now?" Foch was already a little nervous. His own painted skin has been completely exposed by Petain. In fact, Foch is not very afraid of the Prussian Army. After all, the two sides have been fighting for two years and have seen all kinds of routines. Sometimes what you don't understand is the most terrifying, especially when an opponent who doesn't understand has an extremely dazzling record as a footnote!
In fact, Foch still recognizes Xiafei's military talents. After the Battle of Asia Minor, Foch had also argued for Xiafei, and Foch also studied the reports of all parties in the battle of Asia Minor, studied the strategies and tactics of the Bavarian Army, and then Foch came to a conclusion that in the West Lines, trenches and defense lines could not stop the Bavarian Army’s attack.
The reason why trench warfare can be popular on the Western Front is that neither air force has the power to carry out a decisive strike against each other's deep units, and the armored units are also half-hearted so it is difficult to break through. But now the situation is different. The level of the Bavarian Army's armored forces is obviously higher than that of the Prussian Army. Now the British Air Force has been beaten to pieces on the battlefield, and the German planes dominate the sky. A large number of heavy artillery troops from the Austro-Hungarian Empire made up for the last link of the attack!
That’s great. The German armored units with absolute superiority are used as attack spearheads, and the artillery units of the Allied countries with the superiority provide fire support. The Allied Air Force cut off the support channel and isolated the breakthrough position. Sooner or later, the French army with poor support lines will be eaten by the offensive side. Coupled with the follow-up of a large number of fast infantry, the French will definitely not be able to beat. As Petain said, the fundamental reason that allowed Foch to make the decision to fight first was the goodwill of the prince to the French, not Foch's confidence in the French army!
"I don't know. The situation is still unclear. I don't know why the Germans decided to turn their heads. Now I have to go back to Paris to meet the President and the Prime Minister to understand the situation. Then make a decision!" Petain calmed down. , Said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Foch, for the face of France, don't mess with me anymore. You are not a good hand at war. I am not relieved to hand it to you on the front line. Can I re-enable General Xiafei? It’s okay to let him be just a staff."
"Okay, I can do this." Foch said.
"Then, another question, now, can you give me the decision-making power in your hands?" Petain stared at Foch and said every word.
