Chapter 749： High Command (1/2)
”Welcome to you, Ruprecht, my friend.” When the prince’s motorcade arrived at the German front-line headquarters in Brussels, Kaiser Wilhelm II took the prince, the chief of staff, Mochi and 4 The commander of the army is welcoming the prince.
”Your Majesty, I am here to obey your call. Let us reproduce the glory of the Sedan Battle.” Although the prince dislikes this kind of welcoming and sending, Ruprecht must take care of it in public. The face of the Kaiser. It is very cost-effective to trade concessions on face for actual benefits.
”You played very well on the Eastern Front. I hope you can maintain your record on the Western Front. Let us kill the French and the British together. The Empire will not treat anyone, an army and a kingdom badly.” After speaking, there were no other polite remarks. Little Moqi immediately gave the prince a detailed introduction to the situation of both parties.
”Since the last wave of the French offensive ended, the situation on the battlefield is generally beneficial to us. The soldiers and equipment lost in the 7 army groups have been basically supplemented, and the transportation in Belgium has also recovered a considerable part. The departing air force has successively transferred to the airport built in Belgium, and fuel, ammunition, and personnel have been deployed.”
”The British train artillery is still a big threat, but they will not be arrogant for too long. Our train artillery has arrived, and most of the positions have been built. It is now in a period of hoarding ammunition. Coming from behind. The 8,000 vehicles in China will greatly improve our supply situation. In theory, we can launch new attacks at any time.”
”First of all, we want to emphasize that we are dealing with France and Britain. These two countries are not as easy to deal with as the Russians. Although the French seem to be much smaller, believe me, his family is already better than Russia. It's harder to deal with.”
”Secondly, we must determine, what is the goal of our battle this time?” After speaking, the prince paused, and no one else answered. ”I still think that it is unrealistic to capture Paris in World War I. And even if we do, we may not be able to force the French to surrender. If there is a large-scale street fighting in Paris, it will be a quagmire for us.”
”Everyone should know my situation on the Eastern Front. At the beginning of the war, our forces actually had some advantages over the Russians. Armored units, air force, heavy artillery, almost all technical arms, we are overwhelmingly superior, but we killed the Russians. This group army still spent three weeks.”
”And in front of us, there are 5 French armies and 1 British armies. Now the total strength has reached 2 million. The armored forces of the two sides are currently equal, and we also have an advantage in the air force, but it is not large. Disadvantage. We can play a big advantage, but after more than 200 kilometers of depth, we can hit the capital of a major country. I think it is not realistic.”
”So what kind of situation does your Highness think of the so-called Dayou?” Kruger asked.
”Break down two or three group armies!” The prince thought for a while and said.
