The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2060: Betrayal One

"Fuck, what's going on?! The French are so easy to talk to?" Lord Hamilton was stunned! At this time, no one really wants to break the rear. Although it is said to be alternate cover, once the person in charge of the cover is bitten, it is absolutely impossible to withdraw! Especially at the beginning of the evacuation, according to the current intelligence analysis, the Germans' general offensive is about to begin. At this time, any movement of the British and French coalition forces may trigger the Germans' offensive, and the first day's support is obviously the most dangerous. of!

Lord Hamilton really wanted the French army to cut off the rear first, and then go for a day. For this reason, he thought of at least a dozen excuses, but who would have thought that the French would agree so cleanly to cut off the rear first? almost?

"When will we evacuate?" But at this time, Lord Hamilton obviously didn't have time to think about whether there would be any problems. He immediately introduced the content of the conversation to another question.

"Tomorrow, the French Legion will be responsible for the defense. You will evacuate and pay attention to the German air force." Marshal Foch said.

"Very well, that's it. May the interests of our two countries last forever. We will evacuate our positions tonight and hope to hand over our positions with you soon." Lord Hamilton said.

"That's it." Marshal Foch agreed.

"Isn't this too fast?" Montgomery, who heard the Lord talking on the phone with the French, said in surprise: "Your Excellency, it is only three hours before dawn, even if Marshal Foch ordered the French Legion to come over now." It is absolutely impossible to take over the entire position. And switching defenses after the day may cause changes in the Germans. If we can, we'd better prepare for one day and then leave the day after tomorrow."

"It's too late, so be it, the German offensive may start soon." At this time, Lord Hamilton was too anxious and lost his basic judgment on some things. After all, there were too many in the seemingly straightforward answers of the French. The details of the problem have not been finalized, for example, what should I do if the handover of the British coalition forces has not been completed in the daytime... . For example, what about the retreat route and logistical supplies? The movement of hundreds of thousands of troops and a large number of vehicles and horses needs enough roads to support them, and many vehicles have to be transported to the front line. What if it gets blocked.... During the day, the German bombers kept turning their heads!

"We must bring the troops back now, and in the long run, the entire front may need to be shrunk. After all, the French's mobile forces are now very limited. If we want to block the German attack, we may have to bear greater responsibility." Lord Hamilton said. "Order the troops, throw away everything you don't need, and evacuate immediately!"

"Lieutenant General Schur, the British are preparing to evacuate, and we will remain neutral in tomorrow's battle. We have already informed your army of relevant information through a secret line." Just as Lord Hamilton was preparing to retreat, just now Marshal Foch, who put down the phone, said to Lieutenant General Schur, the German representative. When he said these words, Marshal Foch felt extremely relaxed. Sometimes, it is not very difficult to make a decision, because some decisions cannot be changed once made, and one can only sit and watch the results. The most painful thing for people is before making a decision! But now that the decision has been made, there is a complete break between Britain and France, and the confrontation between France and Germany has stopped. At this time, as a soldier, Marshal Foch felt that he had suddenly become more relaxed.

"Lieutenant General Schur, I hope you can provide the detailed route and information of the German army's attack on the British army. After all, some of our positions and the British are intertwined. I want to get some definite news." However, to Foch's surprise,

At this time, Petain, the chief of staff, was unusually busy. He was trying to collect information on the German army.

"This is our specific offensive route and general deployment of troops. It is less than three hours before we leave the battle. I hope your army can arrange it quickly." The French were quite surprised by the document.

"This document is probably already half a battle plan." Petain said after looking at it hastily.

"This is the sincerity of the German Empire." Lieutenant General Schur said with a smile.

"However, I have doubts about some of the content. The Hamilton Army has at least 240,000 troops, has more than 400 tanks of various types, and can receive support from at least 6 aviation wings, and your army actually wants to be in 3 Even if we provide convenience, Lord Hamilton will leave some elite troops to guard." Petain frowned and said.

"Facts speak louder than words, because this time the British will face the fully charged Bavarian Army. Although our performance in the Eastern Mediterranean theater is not very good, there is a reason for that. In Greece On the peninsula, our army is limited by the terrain and cannot deploy. In Turkey, the number of truly elite German troops is always much smaller than that of the British and French allied forces, and the transportation is inconvenient. But this time, in Europe, when the Bavarian Army is fully prepared , the British army on the opposite side is not much stronger than the Russians!" Lieutenant General Schur said quite proudly.

"Hehe, isn't your performance in the Eastern Mediterranean not outstanding?" Pedant sneered inwardly. The other party's answer seemed to him more like a show of strength and bragging. Although what the lieutenant general from Bavaria said was indeed reasonable, the mountains of the Greek Peninsula were more difficult to cross than the French defense line, and on the Turkish battlefield, Germany did not actually use many troops. But as the chief of the French army's general staff, I still feel a little uncomfortable hearing such words.

Compared with Marshal Foch, Petain still has a longer-term view. Although the war is over now, who can guarantee that France will no longer have wars with other countries in the future? In particular, France is still a continental country, and it also has a large number of colonies. Under such circumstances, Petain wants to take advantage of the cooperation with the Germans to carefully study the strategies and tactics of the German army, especially the Bavarian Army! In order to improve the French army.

"I know some thoughts in Your Excellency's mind, and His Highness also knows that, after all, as a big country, if the sword in your hand is not sharp enough, then it is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Your Highness understands this very well. We are also willing to share something in return for the country's reward." Lieutenant General Schur said as if playing a riddle.
