Chapter 1668： Desperate Frenchman (1/2)
Chapter 1668 Desperate Frenchman 3
Therefore, in the eyes of the French, at this time, when the war situation in Asia Minor is obviously not expecting, it is the best choice to transfer the remaining troops back and concentrate on the western front. As for what Serbia and Greece do at this time ? The French are a little overwhelmed, how can they still care about them? !
”That is tantamount to abandoning our allies in the Eastern Mediterranean.” General Haig said with a frown. He could clearly feel that the French's will to fight is not so firm anymore. If this right-leaning trend before was mainly reflected in the war-weariness of the grassroots troops, then now, the high-levels do not have much hope for victory. They are now What I think is how to concentrate all the power to defend France. Although this will make the situation on the Western Front a bit better, it is strategically more conservative!
”As an ally, we have lost more than 200,000 troops in the Eastern Mediterranean. This is worthy of them. I think that in this difficult time, whether it is the Serbian government or the Greek government, they will all be against the actions of the French Republic. Expressing understanding.” Gallieni frowned and said with some disapproval.
”This matter needs to be discussed. It is not something we can decide now.” General Haig did not expect that the French would be so firm, so he decided to temporarily discontinue this topic. He could faintly feel that the differences between the two sides definitely go beyond the Eastern Mediterranean. The problem of the theater.
”Perhaps, from now on, a rift will inevitably appear between the British Empire and the French Republic.” General Haig said in his heart.
”General Haig, from my personal point of view, at this time, you'd better persuade the British government to immediately withdraw its troops from Asia Minor. Compared with General Xiafei's French army, although the British army is larger in size, it has a lot of weight. The equipment is not more than the French army, and you are too deep into Turkey. The supply line is very long. When the French army on the northern line has collapsed, I don’t think that the British army can stop the attack of the Bavarian army. It is more likely that the other party will directly Go south and cut off your army's retreat!” Petain said suddenly.
”The Germans have just finished a large-scale battle, and their wastage is also great, and they will not take immediate action.” General Haig said.
”They didn't try their best! The prince has a back hand against any opponent. This is true on the Western Front, and the same is true on the Eastern Front. So far, there is no army worthy of the prince's concentration. The troops are fighting hard!” Petain said.
”Is this guy afraid of being sick?” Haig looked at Petain, who was looking serious on the opposite side, and then at the other two French leaders who were silent next to him. After feeling something was wrong in the atmosphere, he gave up. Entangled in this issue.
To be honest, for General Haig, this questioning was a terrible failure. Petain, as the questioned person, has been instilling negative news of failure and disadvantage to all of you throughout the course of the questioning. The French high-level officials did not express dislike for this! This makes General Haig feel very uneasy! Moreover, you can understand with your knees that the French will definitely engage in an internal question. They are so pessimistic about the public meetings of the British. Then, if the French held a small meeting by themselves, what would be the result? I'm afraid not. Some people are ready to ask for peace, right?
