"We can draw some forces to attack the small town of Ponny in the south of Champagne. The French should have already released a key protection area. After we expand the front, we can allow armored troops and fast troops to enter the rear of the French army from here, and then directly penetrate the rear of the French position, cooperate with the frontal offensive forces to form a clamp-mounted offensive, completely crushing the French counterattack."

"Then what about the size of this side attack force?" Kariput asked.

"The two most elite armored divisions plus two fast divisions. As for the remaining ordinary replenishment troops, the Prussian army after breaking through the defense line will be replaced. Their task is to attack the rear of the French position as much as possible after breaking through the position! It is best to let the French misjudgment of our attack direction!" Ruprecht said.

"If this is the case, I'm worried that the heavy artillery troops will not be able to keep up. You know, more than 90% of cannons above 150mm are towing rather than running," said Kariput.

"It doesn't matter, the French positions behind them don't have so many hard walnuts for you to smash. The normal 150mm howitzer and 105mm cannon are almost enough." Ruprecht said. "I don't expect them to annihilate half of the French, as long as they can disrupt the French deployment."

Subsequently, the German General Staff made some adjustments to the deployment of the B Army Group in accordance with the instructions of Crown Prince Ruprecht, while the A Army Group did not make much changes. After all, if the plan was successful, the four armies of the A Army would easily eat the isolated Fifth Army of the British Expeditionary Force very easily, and then walked around the rear of the British army very smoothly. At this level, it would be a victory for the slinger!

"If the French are unwilling to surrender, then the Group A Army will still launch an assault from the direction of Saint-Konten. However, after breaking through the French positions, in addition to leaving one army's troops to block the possible reinforcements of the British army on the Northern Line, the remaining three army will complete the centripetal assault on the French in front! After completely eliminating the French in front, we will advance towards Paris!" Everything may encounter an accident. If the French are so desperate, Ruprecht will not mind defeating the French!

Judging from the entire plan, there will be at least two tough battles in the entire battle. The first one is the collision with the French counterattack troops after the Germans broke through the defense line. The Germans took a long time to prepare, and the French also took a long time to prepare... Since Foch could judge the direction of the German attack, he would naturally concentrate all the elite French troops who could fight for the last fight. At the same time, considering that the French army still had at least 150,000 British troops, this battle would probably be the largest field battle ever in history!

Another tough battle is probably a wave of counterattacks after the British army discovered that the German army passed through the passage left by the French. However, overall, the intensity of this war is probably not as strong as the decisive battle between Germany and France. First of all, the British army was not prepared enough. Secondly, from a military perspective, the British were still very interesting. Although the two armored divisions given to the French by the British were not fully equipped, this was already the best armored force in the hands of the British! The remaining armored forces were missing from 30% to 40%!

Yes, you read that right. After the winter offensive ended, the British armored forces did not recover. The losses were large. On the one hand, the engine supply was insufficient, and they were produced separately from the German tanks and aircraft engines. In fact, the British tank engines and aircraft engines were not very different. They can be understood as if the aircraft engines were changed and they threw the tanks on... A while ago, the British aviation army suffered heavy losses, so the aircraft engine decisively snatched the tank's engines. (There was really a case of British tanks using aviation engines in the second battle.)

Therefore, from the field level, the number of armor power that the British could use was weaker than the French, and in terms of quality, they probably could not compare with the French who had large-caliber self-propelled anti-tank guns such as Saint Monsa. If the tanks equipped with British people were used to defend against war defense artillery and infantry, they might be a bit threatening, but if they want to pull them out and fight? Take a shower and go to bed.

As for the heavy artillery units? Most of these units are solidified in permanent and semi-permanent artillery nests, and these cannons can be moved, provided that the British find enough cars or tractors to pull these ten-ton jumping big guys! So, overall, if the front of the British position can be avoided, the British Army field forces are not a big problem.

The only trouble is the British Airways power. Although the previous battles have caused huge losses to the British, at such a critical moment, if the British fight, it will be fine if they invest 1,500 to 1,800 aircraft of various types. The British Airways team, which fought to the death, is one level higher than the French Airways power faced by the B Group Army!

Therefore, in terms of time, Ruprecht adjusted his aviation power. When the French were beaten to the front battlefield and were ready to compromise, Ruprecht would ask the French to open a breakthrough a few days later. Taking advantage of this gap, the aviation forces would be rested and transferred and then prepare to face the British.

As for whether this move will arouse the suspicion of the British? In theory, it is not. It is very simple to be willing. After any major battle in World War I ends, no matter who wins or loses, there will be some rest. Ruprecht will create an illusion for the British, facing the front. Although the German army broke through the French defense line and severely damaged the French army, it did not completely destroy the opponent. In other words, it made the British think that this was a tactical victory rather than a strategic level.

"This will be the last land battle of the empire in this war! I hope you will continue to work hard, we will soon win a brilliant victory, surpassing the victory of the French-Prussian War, and our achievements will go down in history!" Ruprecht said at the end of the meeting.

With the completion of the final preparation, under the cover of more than 10,000 artillery of various calibers, more than 2,500 tanks and armor, and more than 4,500 aircraft, the two groups of the German Empire, and the 8 armies of more than 2 million troops, have entered the attack position. As time passes by minute by minute, the final judgment is getting closer and closer!

The French on the opposite side were also waiting for the final moment to arrive. Was France blocked this deadly offensive and regained glory, or was it finally surrendered under the oppression of a powerful enemy? Foch and others already had the answer in their hearts. When the two sides were about to showdown, the French still retained their contact point in the Netherlands. Perhaps at the critical moment, Crimontso and others were more useful than the millions of French troops!
