Chapter 2054: We dont have time to capture you one (1/2)
”Haha, tomorrow? Is there any difference between morning and night?” Gallieri sneered after putting down the phone. There is no hope for the war. The last French reserve team was also half disabled, and most of the transportation supply line was cut off. Why did the more than 300,000 French troops in the front fight the Bavarian Army?
”Tell all participating troops that they can choose to surrender when the situation cannot be reversed.” Gallieni said to his officer after walking out of the office.
”Your Excellency, you...” A staff officer who had been following him for more than 3 years looked at him in surprise. In his perception, General Gallieni was a hard-hearted and cold-blooded person. In order to win, he never hesitated to use the soldier's life as a bargaining chip, but now, he has issued such an order, which really surprised everyone.
”Everyone, war is cold. In order to win the war, we must put our conscience under our feet. We can find countless excuses to excuse ourselves, but this is just to deceive ourselves. Because our hands are directly or indirectly contaminated. The blood, and these blood did not revive France, but made him fall into the abyss. So now, so far, without seeing the hope of victory, we should let more people complete Back home, instead of giving their family members a casket or letting them suffer injuries and cruelty for life. We have done our best. The blame is not yours, and I will bear it myself.” Gallieni said quietly.
”General, Marshal Foch's call.” An officer said.
”Very well, I just want to talk to him, you should be busy with each other, just as the last guard for France.” Gallieni nodded and walked to the office again.
”Did you contact Mr. President?” Foch's voice rang on the other end of the phone.
”That's it, we have already lost the war.” Gallieni said.
”My troops can still support you. Our troops on the northern front have already been deployed.” Foch's words sounded again.
”Hehe, stop kidding, I am the Minister of War, and I don’t know much about the French army less than you. If you sent reinforcements last night, then there is still a chance today, and now it’s too late. The teeth have been wedged into our blood vessels. Even if you can repel them, most of our blood vessels will be destroyed. And don't forget that the four German armies on the front are still eyeing you.” Gallieni sneered.
”The Germans may not attack immediately.” Foch said with a sigh.
”Don’t try dangerous moves. If you don’t move, the Germans may not move, but once you take hostile actions, they will definitely move. Your decision will affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of French soldiers. It's safe, but it doesn't help the situation.” Gallieni said word by word.
”Okay, I see.” After a full two minutes of silence, the opposite Foch finally responded, and there seemed to be a trace of relief in the words.
