Chapter 2059 Compromise Four

Then the two sides redefined the action plans and obligations of Germany and France. After 4 hours of talks, the two sides finally finalized more than 80% of the content. After the meeting, France ordered Marshal Foch's French army to move south and break away from contact with the British. At the same time, France cut off all material and electricity supplies to the British, and all French-controlled power plants located in the British-controlled area. The French will also carry out a certain amount of damage to waterworks, factories and other facilities, at least to ensure that they cannot be used for a short period of time!

The German army needs to disengage from the French army during this period, and must no longer attack the French army or ordinary French targets. Subsequently, France and Germany will conduct contact negotiations under the coordination of the Americans to determine how to end the war, as well as the compensation and obligations that France needs to bear.

Of course, before that, Germany must guarantee the territorial integrity of France’s European and some African colonies. Yes, the French are not stupid. They know that those colonies in Africa are important and cannot be lost, so they will ask Germany to promise not to Some colonies made territorial claims. And for this, Ruprecht agrees, because, to be honest, with the British colonies in southern Africa, the Germans really look down on the French.

"We can contact Marshal Foch now, and your liaison officer can go there tonight." At the end of the meeting, Clemenceau said.

"Very well, I hope our cooperation will go smoothly. In addition, before we launch an offensive against the British Sixth Army, we ask you to keep it strictly confidential. This is related to our relationship with France after the war. I hope you will be cautious. "Xiao Maoqi reminded.

Two hours later, at the headquarters of the French Army, Foch stared at the telegram in front of him and remained silent for a long time. Although he knew the outcome of this matter a few hours ago, when he was about to shake hands with the German army who had been fighting for two years When he made peace, and then turned to cheat his former comrades-in-arms, he still felt a little bit unbearable. On the other hand, Petain was much calmer. He has now begun to arrange, at least the British in the French army must fully control or limit it!

"Don't you feel ashamed of what you're doing now?" Foch looked at Petain and said.

"Everything I am doing now is to implement the orders of His Excellency the President. We are fighting for France. Do you think this makes people ashamed?" Petain asked back.

"You are saying that we have completely failed in this war. We paid hundreds of billions of francs and millions of casualties. In the end, we not only gained nothing, but lost our original interests, and became treacherous. Thinking about the high spirits and ambitions before the war broke out, this is really ironic!" Foch said a little excitedly.

"We have already failed, so what we need to do now is to reduce France's losses. Marshal Foch, you must remember that the Germans always have to get enough compensation, and these compensations are either from us or from the British. Take it with you." After speaking, Petain continued to do his own thing. With the issuance of orders one by one, the French Army began to gradually disengage from the German army. At the same time, the British did not realize the betrayal of the French, at least Lord Hamilton is now considering how to face the German attack.

"Our current situation is very bad. The defense line is incomplete. It can even be described as leaking everywhere. The Germans broke through the French front line in less than 3 days and severely damaged the last French reserve team. Foch's troops may have difficulty even supplying supplies, let alone attacking." After reading the information gathered by Xin, Lord Hamilton said with a gloomy face.

"This battle is no longer to be fought,

The French couldn't shoulder their responsibilities, and there was a German army lurking behind us. said a British officer.

"But it's not easy to retreat. We now have a starting position, and if we choose to retreat, the German fast troops and tanks can catch up with us in half a day. Who will stay behind at this time? Whoever ends up dies," Montgomery said.

"We can go back and destroy the German army that is deep behind the French enemy. We have more tanks and have stronger maneuverability. Let the French temporarily help us break the rear." Another British officer said.

"The French are not fools. Whoever dies now will die." Montgomery said again.

"It's all like this now, the French are hopeless, so why should we stay here? We're British, not French, and we've shed enough blood on the French! Damn it, The population lost by the British Empire in the 300-year war is not as high as in the past two years!" The officer couldn't control his emotions, and cursed loudly!

"Enough! At least we are still allies!" Lord Hamilton's angry voice echoed in the conference room! "I will discuss this matter with Marshal Foch. The British Empire will not easily abandon its allies. Of course, it is indeed impossible to implement the previous strategy under the current circumstances. I will seriously consider the issue of retreat."

The current situation is very difficult. They belong to the alliance and they are birds of the same fate. When the disaster comes, they will fly separately! Lord Hamilton knew very well that at this time it was indeed who stayed and who died. But at the same time, he also knew that without the cooperation of the French, it would be difficult for the British army to escape. Therefore, conflicts must not be intensified at this time. Compromise and cooperation are the only way to solve the problem!

"Marshal Foch, I think it is pointless to continue to implement the established plan under the current circumstances." Lord Hamilton said on the phone.

"I agree with your point of view, Commander." Marshal Foch said calmly.

"So we have to think about retreating," said Lord Hamilton.

"How to retreat? How to retreat? How to coordinate?" Marshal Foch's voice sounded again.

"It is obviously unrealistic to leave a part of the troops for defense. After all, we are two troops. Trouble in the command system will cause problems for the two remaining troops to cooperate. So my suggestion is that the British and French troops alternately cover the retreat. said Lord Hamilton.

"Well, since this is the case, the French army is willing to undertake the first day's cover task. We will evacuate on the first day of covering your army, and then your army will stay where it is. Meet us." Marshal Foch said.
