Chapter 2072 Crossing the Line of Defense One
(page 1/1)
"Well, I understand what you mean. I now understand a truth. All the disasters in France, whether it was during the Seven Years' War, the French Revolution, or the Napoleonic period, and the Crimean War, even now , These disasters have nothing to do with the British! France was hurt and used! Maybe the Germans are our enemies, but the British are definitely not our allies!" President Armand said angrily after taking a deep breath. Then, without waiting for the British ambassador to say anything, he waved his hand directly to indicate that his opponent could leave.
"The British have abandoned us, and for France's tomorrow, you know what to do." President Armand picked up the phone on the table and said.
An hour later! A train responsible for transporting goods for the front-line British army entered a station and prepared to add coal and water before continuing eastward. However, at this time, a group of French soldiers came out suddenly. They asked the train driver to move the vehicle to the freight yard area immediately, and the train and The rear compartment is disconnected.
At the same time, behind the British defense line, a huge explosion sounded suddenly from bridges on several rivers. After the smoke cleared, these bridges were blown into several sections, leaving only a few piers in the water. The French convoy, which was originally responsible for transporting supplies to the UK, also left with excuses.
And soon, when these news were gathered in the hands of Marshal Haig, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill gripping his heart! What he was most worried about happened!
"Damn it, the French have betrayed us! Order, the army immediately controls all French troops and police in their jurisdiction! If they do any unfriendly behavior, they can be shot and killed! The French are no longer our allies. Marshal Haig ordered. And it was a bit late for this order, because just a few hours ago, when the British ambassador called on the French president, the German army had already begun to enter the rear of the British army through the channel vacated by the French!
"I thought the French could just deal with it in a hurry. I didn't expect them to be really serious." Looking at the trenches that have been filled with gravel and wood, and the minefields that have been cleared. Count Caliput said with some surprise.
"The French have lost now. Their life and death depend entirely on our attitude. Naturally, we have to please them." A German officer next to him said proudly.
"Let me remind you one last time. Judging from the current situation, the French are our allies. As the defeated party, their spirits will be highly tense. A little stimulation may lead to an overreaction. I don't want some people to act stupidly." It will have an impact on the army, so now you immediately issue this order to all the troops again, and tell all the gendarmerie to restrain all German troops, whether they are Bavarian or Prussian! If there is any violation of discipline, it will not be punished! So , Major General, don’t let me hear similar remarks again!” Earl Caliput’s expression changed, and he said in a stern voice.
The majesty of the victor does not need to be reflected by ravaging the body and mind of the defeated, this is a perverted and meaningless behavior! Now that he has agreed, and since the other party is willing to cooperate with him and hand over his interests, any act of impulsiveness is unnecessary, especially when facing the already proud French! Therefore, Ruprecht emphasized this point in the German Army Conference. Caliput also emphasized it in the group army, but now it seems that some people still have problems with their thinking.
But it doesn't matter, ideological work only solves part of the problem. If ideological work and orders can solve everything, then why do we need the gendarmerie and the supervisory team? After hesitating for a while, Caliput felt that it would be better to double the gendarmerie.
Anyway, this war will definitely be won up to now. Appeasing the French and defeating the British are actually two equally important tasks!
The width of the front opened by the French this time exceeded Germany's requirements. The entire French army gave up its position, and the front of more than 40 kilometers allowed the German military-level troops to pass quickly. Adhering to the fact that the attack must be sudden, the Germans chose to attack in the middle of the night, and because they passed through the French positions, there was no sound of firefighting. At the same time, in order to prevent being detected by the British, the troops also implemented a blackout. According to the Germans' thinking, no matter how hidden they were in the past, there was a great possibility of being exposed. After all, the Saint-Quentin area was the junction of the British and French forces, but when the When Earl Caliput asked the French liaison officer about this matter, the latter's answer surprised Caliput.
"The British on the surface front have already left. It should be this morning. They are shrinking the front, leaving only some key support points and deploying troops. Therefore, in the case of blackout and artillery providing sound cover, they are very It's hard to find your whereabouts." The Frenchman said.
"So, the British finally abandoned the French? God, it seems that we are not having a decisive battle, not a race, and a race against the British! They want to run!" Caliput said in his heart.
"Immediately report the current situation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. At the same time, concentrate the elite and fast troops to quickly penetrate behind the British, first kill the military depots and supply depots, and then move to the sea. We must at least include the ports controlled by the British into our within the attack range of the long-range artillery!" After finishing speaking, Caliput directly entered the chariot, and now that he is slowly moving forward, it must not work, he must be fast! Block each other before the British react!
"Have the British figured it out?" Ruprecht smiled slightly as he watched the telegram sent by Earl Caliput. "But it's a pity that it's too late. The British are preparing to retreat, and our offensive has already begun. Order the frontal army that is keeping a confrontation with the British to launch an attack! Contain the mobilization of the British army, high-speed Caliput, and attack quickly. Let him reach the coast directly at all costs, and the uncontrollable ports must also be destroyed or suppressed with heavy artillery!"
"Send a telegram to Admiral Scheer, I hope he can concentrate more submarines, destroyers and minesweepers to prepare to enter the eastern part of the English Channel!"
"Send a telegram to Admiral Harrell, and I ask his air force and navy to cooperate with each other and do everything possible to block the waterway of the English Channel!" Crown Prince Ruprecht ordered.
With the order of the Crown Prince, a sea, land and air battle surrounding the British Expeditionary Force kicked off! In this war called Black May by the British, the British Empire paid an unprecedented price, and because of this battle, the history of British intervention in the European continent officially ended!
