1804 Shaking 2
General Heg thinks that his explanation is reasonable and well-founded, but what do you think you have to see if others listen.
"However, this is still just your guess. What I want to ask is, if you guess wrong, who can bear the consequences? I can tell you clearly that the French Republic cannot bear another loss and a failure of more than 400,000 troops. Although we still have more than 2 million regular troops on the front line, the entire country is approaching the critical point. If you guess wrong, then no one can bear the result. If something happens that makes you and I feel unacceptable, then I can only say sorry."
Wei Gang's words can be understood in two parts. The first half implicitly put forward the statement of Hegel is very irresponsible, because the cost of such failure is too high and cannot be borne by Hegel. At the same time, give the British a brief explanation. Such large-scale land war consumption has already made France unable to bear it. If the British want to continue fighting, they must bear more responsibilities.
The second half of the sentence warns the opponent that if necessary, the French Republic may negotiate separately! This is the most deadly! If France gives up, then there is no meaning to Britain persist. This sentence really scares Hager! Because Wei Gang, the chief of staff of the French army, spoke this in front of General Hager and the British officers around him in the command of the British Expeditionary Force!
"Whatever you see! Go and go your own way!" General Hege said sternly. Then, he turned to the team General Wei Gang and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Sorry, I'm just saying a fact. I hope your country can face this problem." General Wei Gang said. "As a soldier, I can die in the battlefield, but my country must exist."
"So what is the bottom line of your country?" Hege couldn't hold back. Wei Gang's statement was even more unbearable than losing 7 divisions.
"France's territory must be kept intact. Belgium must exist as an independent country." Wei Gang said after thinking about it.
"Haha." Hege is indeed a worthy old fry. He quickly felt the difference. France's territory must be kept intact. So what about Belgium? Independence is certain, will the territory be reduced? This is not what the French are worried about.
"Then General Wei Gang, I would like to ask a question. If we cannot defeat Germany in the best situation this time, then will we still have hope in the future? After the Germans digested the land stolen from the east, why should we fight against a German Empire with an area of more than 1 million square kilometers and a population of over 100 million? And an Austro-Hungarian Empire that may surpass France? I can guarantee that if we retreat, then France's historical status will be the lowest in history. Even after the French-Prussian War that year, France will still be higher than France at that time!" General Heg said.
General Hege was right. If the Allies were allowed to digest the fruits of victory in the east, not only would Germany completely crush France, but even Austria could surpass France on paper, and then the successor of the Tsarist Empire could be the French. It would definitely fall to the fourth place in Europe. General Hege's implication is that can the arrogant French really accept this situation?
"And why do you think that the Germans would accept France's opinion and quit honestly from France's territory, instead of demarcating the border on the spot and pressing the border to the door of Paris?" It seemed that what they said just now was not powerful enough, General Heg added another piece of information.
"I can't answer you this question." General Wei Gang said, but from the eyes of the French chief of staff, General Heg could feel that the other party was confident!
"Damn it, is this world changing too fast, or is it that I can't keep up with the situation?!" Now General Heg feels that this time, Wei Gang came over not to persuade him to stop the offensive, but to prepare for an ultimatum... In other words, the French are going further and further on the right-leaning surrenderism, and are ready to take a path of retreat...
With Heg's political IQ, he didn't know what the French did to get the Germans out of French territory, but he believed that since the French dared to say it on such an occasion, he would be ready!
"Hissar Commander, the phone number given to you by the Prime Minister." At this moment, the Chief of Staff quickly walked up and said to General Heg.
"Sorry, General Wei Gang, I have to deal with some things." General Hege said apologetically and then left.
"General Heg, I don't care what method you use, continue to continue the offensive." The first sentence he received the call, Prime Minister Asquith opposite said bluntly.
"But the French want to stop the offensive, they are even ready..." General Heg said.
"Listen, even if the French want to stop the offensive, the British army must bear it independently. I will add 400,000 troops to the western front within a month. There are hundreds of thousands of tons of equipment and ammunition, and even the naval aviation can temporarily replenish you to make up for the recent losses. Okay, don't say anything else. Chamberlain will arrive in France later today, and he will introduce you to the current situation. Now tell Wei Gang, and the French behind them, our attitude is firm, and our strength is enough!" Prime Minister Asquith did not give General Hegel time to tell the facts, and said bluntly.
"Prime Minister, why do I feel like we are almost on the edge of the cliff?" asked General Heg.
"It's not that feeling, but it's true! Envoy Chamberlain will explain everything to you, OK, now there is only one thing you have to do, that is, use your intelligence and do your best to win this battle, and we must at least gain some strategic advantages!
"Okay, I will do my best." General Heg said.
"Everything is for Britain! The British Empire hopes that everyone who participates in this war can perform their duties!" Prime Minister Asquith said solemnly.
Half an hour later, when General Wei Gang saw General Heg again, he found that the other party was like a lion full of fighting spirit.
"General Wei Gang, please tell your government that no matter what the situation is, the British Empire will fight to the end! We will never bow to the Germans! If you cannot bear such losses, then you can choose to retreat, but the British Empire's army will never take the initiative to retreat!" General Heg said.
