Chapter 2041： Fochs decision (1/2)
(Page 1/1)
”Fuck, what are you going to do?” Lord Hamilton suddenly felt a little flustered. Now there are two Frenchmen and himself, what does the other party want to do? Although it has nothing to do with violence and basic sentiment, it is clear that what these two Frenchmen are doing is certainly not very glorious!
”Your Excellency, I guarantee with my personality and the honor of the French Legion. There is no monitoring equipment in the house now.” Petain stepped forward and said: ”And as you can see, all unrelated people are gone, so now I think we can talk about some issues frankly.”
”Regardless of all non-war factors, do you think we should fight on the battlefield so that we can withdraw from the war decently.” Petain asked.
”Naturally, it caused greater damage to the Germans, and made the fighting situation more anxious, and it is developing for a long time. When the cost of war is too high, the Germans will naturally consider stopping the war.” Lord Hamilton said.
”But do you think that simple defense can achieve the goal you just mentioned?” Petain continued to ask.
”It's difficult.” After a moment of contemplation, the lord squeezed out a few words from his teeth. Although he knew that the other party was suspected of setting it up, the lord's personality and military integrity prevented him from opening his eyes and telling lies.
”So good, I want to ask, if it is the Prussian offensive method, do you think the British army is afraid?” Petain asked.
”We've seen the tactics of the Prussian Army many times. If it really worked, the war would have ended early. Although there was some pressure to deal with, it was still within a tolerable range. The Prussian Army lacked sufficient penetration.” Lord Hamilton Said.
”So, as long as we can defeat the Bavarian Army now, it will not be difficult to re-stabilize the front, and the Bavarian Army’s offensive relies on a large number of tanks, and once large-scale losses of these expensive equipment occur, it will not be a short time. Can make up for it. Don't you think?” Petain said.
”Huh?!” Lord Hamilton was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what the other party meant. ”The German tanks are really powerful, but I brought a lot of 4-inch guns and 15-pound, 18-pound cannons this time. I also equipped them with trucks or semi-track chassis.”
The British really wanted to help the French this time, so they made targeted deployments when they came. Naturally, they had to prepare a large number of cannons to deal with tanks. In order to deal with aircraft, Lord Hamilton’s regiment was also assigned a large number of cannons. Anti-aircraft machine gun and 2-pound rapid-fire gun! These things were placed on the navy's battleship not long ago! This action is enough to see the sincerity of the British.
”If we limit your offensive front to about 15 kilometers, what do you think?” Foch said, pointing to the red line on the wall with the putter in his hand.
”You mean that the French army will bear at least half of the pressure?” Lord Hamilton asked.
”That's it, we only fight one wave! We and your army are doing our best! I just mobilized troops from other fronts. This is a secret mobilization. Some people in the command headquarters don't know it because I am worried that they will oppose it!” Foch said.
”Then your army may be empty on certain lines of defense. Once the Germans choose to attack, the consequences will be unimaginable.” Hamilton felt the opponent's fighting spirit and tenacity from Foch's words.
