Chapter 2058： Compromise Three

The only problem is that the crown prince is not the emperor, he agreed, but what if the other mountains in Germany are unwilling? The results of the specific negotiations cannot be finalized now. The Germans say that they do not want to pay compensation, but they must be paid in other ways. The African colonies will definitely lose some, so what is the limit of this loss? These are all problems, and now, the French army's cooperation with the German army is the last bargaining chip of the French. For this bargaining chip, Clemenceau is naturally unwilling to give up easily!

"Your speech makes me very embarrassed. Or the lack of the most basic trust between us." Ruprecht said: "In front of you are the crown prince of Bavaria, and the representative of the Kaiser, the grand duke of a grand duchy, and a Marshal of the German army. (Little Maoqi is promoted.) We can sign the treaty, but you think we can break the contract at any time and we can make a statement, but your country is unwilling to expose everything. The conditions are so harsh. In fact. , You don’t have to be so careful, because we have already won, and in this case we are still willing to negotiate. This is already a very sincere sincerity. If we are simple, we only need to add a little bit more strength. , We may be about to enter Paris, and then parade on the Champs Elysées. By that time, we must have gained more from France than we do now!"

"Well, can we do this? Your country has begun to cooperate with us. At present, Admiral Schmidt, who has gone deep into your side, directed the army to withdraw and release your country’s prisoners on the spot. Most of the military supplies in the main warehouse It can also be kept. We only need to take some oil and food. In all areas where the German and French armies are facing each other, the German army will retreat 2 to 3 kilometers and disengage from contact. In some areas, we can give up." Ruprecht said.

It’s not that Ruprecht is too tolerant to make such a decision. In fact, every step of this is meaningful. When the French began to follow the orders of the Germans, the relationship between Britain and France was already complete. It broke, and in this case, it's impossible for the French to overcast the Germans! It is also of strategic significance to allow General Schmidt's troops to withdraw. Note that this is only a deep withdrawal from the French army, but what about after withdrawal? Schmidt’s troops will certainly not be able to return to the original place. He will advance to the northeast and cut off the British Expeditionary Force Sixth Army, which is the retreat of the Hamilton Army! The main force of the German army that cooperated with the front completely consumed the British trump card army.

The retreat and abandonment of some positions of the frontline German forces are also of strategic value. Abandoning part of the positions, especially the protrusions, can level the front and save more troops. The so-called retreat of the first-line troops is nothing more than the retreat of infantry. A large number of artillery can still remain in place. The artillery will not be deployed only 2 to 3 kilometers away from the front line. So these spared troops can be used in the battle against the British, and after proper retreat, it also avoids the possibility of both sides wiping out their guns.

In fact, the concessions made by Germany are very limited, but this is like removing the knife that was originally clamped around your neck, and the other party still holds a sharp blade. You still can't beat the opponent, but the psychological perception will be much better... .... But now, although Clemenceau knew that the Germans hadn't backed down much, he was obviously relaxed.

"For the passage that you require us to give up on the northern line, we will give a specific route later. We will leave some troops on the position, but please rest assured that they will definitely not hinder your advancement. We The location of these troops will be marked out, and I hope you can understand our difficulties. Can take care of the last face of France." Cremonceau has actually begun to give in, and began to talk about details.

"From a military point of view, you will definitely give priority to destroying the Hamilton Army. After all, there are 240,000 British troops and well-equipped. When you take the initiative to attack, the French army will remain neutral and will gradually disconnect The British connection. Afterwards, we will move south, and the battlefield is up to you."

"As for the British defense zone on the Northern Front? At first, for convenience, they had taken over some transportation hubs and military facilities, where the number of French troops was very scarce. In this case, it is unrealistic for us to destroy those facilities. , I hope this one can best be modified." Clemenceau said.

"What do you think." Ruprecht looked at Xiao Maoqi. The latter nodded slightly to indicate that it was OK. In fact, what Clemenceau said in the last few words is correct. The influence of the French army in the British defense zone is indeed limited. A railway station or an important transportation hub logistics base is not so easy to be destroyed. But if this aspect is not well done, other aspects must be made up!

"From now on, I hope that France can cut off all transportation routes from the outside to the areas controlled by the British Expeditionary Force, whether it is roads or railways! There is also electricity and water supply ~ www.novelhall.com ~ if necessary. , We can cooperate, how to do it, how to make excuses, don't we need to teach you?" the crown prince said sternly.

"It's okay to cut off part of it, but it might be quite difficult to cut off the whole." Clemenceau tried to bargain.

"This is our final plan. Since France chooses to be neutral and we accept your country's neutrality, it is natural not to allow the British to use French territory and means of transport to transport goods. This is impossible. The change is also our bottom line. From now on, to be precise, you still have 2 hours to communicate with the French government when you do more, and you have only two choices: agree or disagree. As for what the latter will cause, I don't need to elaborate on this, right?" Ruprecht said.

"When will you launch an attack?" Cremonceau asked.

"The attack on the British Sixth Army can begin tomorrow." Ruprecht said. "On the Northern Front, there is not much time for your country. You must withdraw all the main combat troops within 2 days. Our offensive will begin at any time."

"Are you kidding? It is estimated that only part of the air force can complete the transition in two days." Clemenceau said.

"This is our business, and has nothing to do with your country. Believe me, the German Empire’s Western Front Army has never been as strong as it is today! We have not even half of the forces used to attack your country! We can fight on both fronts at the same time, time Will verify everything I said." Ruprecht said confidently.
