1928 French mind 1
"Sir, at this time, it is not meaningful to consider how many enemies can be eliminated in a battle or how many lost lands can be recovered. The Western Front is different from the Eastern Front. You can break through, break through, and divide the siege on the Eastern Front. But on the Western Front, except for a few fortresses, the military significance of huge places is very limited. The entire Western Front is a millstone, and countless lives and national strength are thrown into it and then turned into ashes."&1t;/p>
"Prince Ruprecht looked at the problem very thoroughly. He did not expect to hit Paris in one attack. Because it was difficult and there was no need. His idea was to eventually drag us down through repeated consumption. However, this damage was even greater than directly hitting Paris! Can you imagine a France where the treasury was completely empty and the people were destroyed for a generation? Maybe after this war, we didn't even have many young people of the right age. We are now overdrawing our future." Xia Fei said.&1t;/p>
"Then how do you view the strategy proposed by the government? First, achieve a battle victory, and then we will negotiate with the advantages of the battlefield?" asked Crimonso.&1t;/p>
"This idea is simply naive. As long as you figure out one thing, you know that this strategy is just fart! Let's not talk about how we won a battle. Even if we have achieved it and we ask for negotiations, what can you do if the Germans don't accept it?" Xia Fei sneered.&1t;/p>
"You should know that the Crown Prince Ruprecht is now commanding the entire Western Front! He holds the most elite force in Germany! He has enough redundancy to bear certain failures! Even with our best record, whether it is offense or defense, our exchange ratio has never been lower than 1.3 to 1! What does this mean? We always lose when fighting with the Germans! The Germans failed once, twice, three times, it doesn't matter. They can still play the fourth time. But even if we win, we win once, twice! But can we still win the third time! The so-called victory is just a Pinox-like victory! If we come to such a victory twice, France will be dead!"&1t;/p>
"As for those speculation from a political perspective, if Ruprecht fails, he will bear huge political pressure and may be dismissed? Such a dream is simply a dream! Ruprecht is a crown prince and the future heir to the kingdom. The Bavarian Legion is only loyal to him, not the German emperor. If Ruprecht is replaced, then the German General Staff will not be able to command the Bavarian Legion at all. Consider the current political situation within Germany. Therefore, in this case, the German senior executives will have a very high patience towards the prince! Suffering some losses at the battle level cannot shake the position of this prince!"&1t;/p>
"Okay, let's go back to the initial problem. I don't think that Betton and others can win a so-called victory in the German army facing the advantage. Simply defending a certain location or maintaining the front line is not a victory. For the Germans, consuming us with a better battle loss ratio is victory. The Germans are waiting for us to collapse!" Xia Fei said.&1t;/p>
"What if the United States is added? The US government has shown us that it is willing to mediate the war between France and Germany." Crimonso said anxiously as if he was holding on to the last straw.&1t;/p>
"The Americans are not credible. They are just vultures that make profits. And think about it, the United States will join forces with the Germans to deal with the Japanese after the war. How could Roosevelt offend the Germans at this time?" Xia Fei asked back. "In the relationship between the United States and Germany, the Germans always have more bargaining chips than the Americans."&1t;/p>
"You mean, we have to accept the German conditions?" Crimonso looked at his colleague, the general who had fought against Asia Minor and Bavarian Legion on the Western Front.&1t;/p>
"I am a soldier, not a politician, I can only analyze the problem from my professional perspective. I don't know what the political choice will be. But I know. The situation on the battlefield no longer depends on us, but on our opponents. Our life and death are in the other party's thoughts!" At this time, Xia Fei finally told the truth. He had no hope. Now Xia Fei would rather believe that the Germans are willing to let themselves go than believe what the British said. Just work hard to turn the world!&1t;/p>
"Can we believe the words of this German crown prince? The relationship between France and Germany can really improve? Artsas and Lorraine really want to leave its motherland forever?" Crimontso said unwillingly.&1t;/p>
"During the reign of Emperor Napoleon, Belgium and the Netherlands were also ours. In this war, we chose Britain, but Britain could not allow us to regain the territory we had lost, but instead dragged France to the brink of the collapse of the war. Look at the battlefield, how many British people died and how many we died. The British had more than 40,000 people, while we only had less than 40,000 people, but the casualties of our personnel were more than twice that of the British! This is unfair! We are using our own blood to maintain the hegemony of the British!" Xia Fei said angrily.&1t;/p>
There were originally conflicts between Britain and France, but now, under tremendous pressure, various unstable states have appeared within France, and this situation even spread to the top leaders. Many of the senior officers expressed great dissatisfaction with the number of British 6th Army. The 6th Army collected by the British population and territory was less than 60% of the French. This made the French unacceptable! As for the British navy?&1t;/p>
Please, the French have now come to the question of whether they want to move the capital. Who would think about the benefits of the British Navy? The French now only want the 6th Army, only their own affairs! Now, even Xia Fei, who participated in the Balkan War, believes that it is a very wrong thing to let the French fight in the Balkan Peninsula and the Asia Minor Peninsula. These two sub-battlefields greatly consumed France's combat power!&1t;/p>
Xia Fei's attitude is already very obvious. Although it is not stated clearly, Xia Fei has expressed dissatisfaction and even hostility towards the British. In terms of attitude, he tends to consider the suggestions of the Germans. As an old fox who has been at the top of the army, Xia Fei detailed the comparison of military power and national strength between the two sides in the report he wrote, and then let the readers draw a conclusion by themselves--if the German army really concentrates its efforts to fight the French army, then the time for France to shoot ggs will definitely not be far away!&1t;/p>
In fact, not only Xia Fei is the view, but many of the French senior executives have already agreed with this view if they put aside political factors. The possibility of the French winning the battlefield is almost zero!&1t;/p>
