Chapter 1933: The Englishman with 7 up and 8 Down

"The British may also be aware of this matter, but I'm afraid they also have something to hide?" Gallieni said helplessly. "I'm afraid the British are not sure about resisting this attack. Therefore, they want to rely on their relatively strong air force to make a last-ditch effort."

"However, the actions of the British are finally good news for us. If the British bombing successfully delays and consumes the opponent, then our pressure will be reduced. And if the British fail, we seem to have finished The first agreement with the Germans." President Armand said.

Silence, long silence. Although this meeting made a decision to block the wave first. But the news at the end of the meeting made the Frenchman's decision seem to waver again. Judging from the actions of the British, the French can also feel that the British lack confidence. And this is undoubtedly a blow to the confidence of the French. This time, Gallieni and others guessed rightly. The British really had the intention of jumping over the wall in this attack, and the actual situation of the British was even worse than the estimates of Germany and France.

After the meeting, the war would continue, and Gallieni returned to the Ministry of War to start considering whether to use the last strategic reserve gasoline and the military production next month. Marshal Foch and Pétain returned to the front to make final preparations for the imminent attack. And President Armand and Prime Minister Ribo held another small meeting, and they felt that the plan made before seemed a bit inappropriate...

And what about the British? Well, to be honest, when the French learned that the British were going to launch an air offensive, Marshal Haig, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, hadn't dealt with his air force commander, Marshal Trenchard! The head of the British Royal Air Force is still reluctant to put a batch of new planes just snatched from the Navy into the air strikes against Germany.

"The most conservative and safest way now is to let our fighter units patrol in our own airspace to ensure the safety of our heavy artillery positions, communication lines, and military depots. And the bomber units should not go too deep into the opponent's positions, they should be concentrated, Attack the enemy's staging positions and poorly defended artillery when the other side is attacking. Use this to disrupt the German offensive steps. Instead of spending a lot of valuable aviation resources on Germany in depth as you said The target is under attack." Marshal Trenchard said to Marshal Haig at the British Expeditionary Force headquarters in Dunkirk.

"This is true for the Air Force, but for the entire expeditionary force, or for the Allied Powers, your suggestion is not appropriate." Marshal Haig said. "War is never just a battle of blood and fire between the two sides on the battlefield. It also involves a deeper political confrontation!"

"Our French allies are no longer reliable. Do you still remember Wei Gang, Chief of the French Army General Staff we met in the last military meeting?" Marshal Haig asked.

"I know, this is a very good person, a soldier who is full of enthusiasm for his work and full of sacrifice." Marshal Trenchard was stunned for a moment, then said. "But now, I don't know why Pétain was appointed chief of staff of the French army. Pétain is a veteran in tactics. But in terms of strategy, he is a bit pessimistic."

"Because Wei Gang has a more important mission! Through the information provided by our insiders in the United States, the former chief of staff of the French Army appeared in Washington, the capital of the United States. He may have met with the President of the United States! This means that What, you should be very clear, right?" Haig said a chilling news!

"Do the French really imagine that they can stay out of the matter through the mediation of the Americans?" Trenchard exclaimed: "Are you kidding? The Germans are ready to reproduce the glory of the Franco-Prussian War again.

How could it be possible to give up the territory and francs acquired because of a word from the Americans? "

"This is not an issue we want to discuss. We just need to know that the news is true. Of course, even if the Americans act as intermediaries, it is impossible for France and Germany to put aside decades of hatred and directly reach a ceasefire agreement." Realistic. However, according to our analysis, it is still possible for France and Germany to reach a certain tacit agreement to let the Germans temporarily let the French go, and to target the contradiction of this attack on us. Therefore, the final result is that we You may have to bear the full blow of the Germans alone!" Marshal Haig said with lingering fear.

To be honest, when Marshal Haig heard the news, he almost sat on the ground in fright. Britain and France did not get any benefit from launching an offensive during the civil strife in Germany, but now, the German Eastern Front Army is advancing westward. At this time, the French may be two or five boys. In this case, let the British face several times the German army? Isn't this TM funny? At that time, Haig suggested to the Prime Minister, or we can vote too!

Do you really think that only the French are thinking about the future? Actually the British are thinking about it too! The French were looking for the Americans to mediate, and the Dutch were the matchmaker. As for the British, he asked the King of Sweden to help test the Germans' ideas. However, what makes them sadder than the French is that the prince doesn't even want to see the British representative! I just mentioned this sentence in the reply: "I think our conditions are unacceptable to the UK now, and your conditions are absolutely not acceptable to us, so in order to bridge the psychological gap between the two sides, I think we should reach some consensus on the battlefield That's it!"

This shows what? The Germans, at least the commander-in-chief who is now in charge of the entire Western Front, do not intend to negotiate with the British. As for you looking for the Kaiser? I'm sorry, they are solving internal problems in Munich, so I don't have time to care about your British affairs. And judging from the character of William II, who is extremely hostile to Britain, he will definitely not negotiate peace with the British with a full hand of cards.

Stimulated by news from two sources, even the British Empire, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, is really scared! Thinking about it, I understand, the last ally who is still good is ready to fly solo, Germany and Austria are sharpening their swords and refusing peace talks, Britain also has millions of troops in the French battlefield, if these people are buried here, then It is really the biggest defeat of Britain in history! It is estimated that the blow to Britain is second only to the destruction of the Royal Navy, right?

Although the British population is large, if millions of people are lost at once, it will be an unprecedented shock to British society. After all, the British have never lost so many people in a war! The loss of a large number of experienced armies may lead to the collapse of the colonial empire after the war. After all, there are so many colonies, you have to use the army to occupy and control them! The navy can't go ashore!
