Chapter 219
In the remote Baghdad Tower, in the top conference room of the German War Department, a routine military policy briefing was held, and at the head of the conference table sat the chairman of the Military Joint Staff Imperial Marshal Henry Soren. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He looked blankly at the conference table at MI6 Chief Lieutenant General Holly Jonathan and Joint Logistics Chief Lieutenant General Bernard Haber, who were arguing with each other about whether it was necessary to continue to support the Romanian rebellion in the Frankish Empire.
Lieutenant General Bernard slapped a long list of bills on the table and shouted at Lieutenant General Hawley to ask Lieutenant General Hawley how long MI6 would have to pay for the Romanians' cause, and if the Romanians had anything else to accomplish besides controlling the marginal province of Romania?
When will Adenburg, the bone spur that prevented Germany from entering the Frankish Empire, be opened?
Obviously, Hawley could not answer Bernard's question, because not long ago he had cursed the Romanians in his office, and these elms were left in the head of Attenburg, so that German aid had to go over the Hengduan Mountains and had to increase the cost of aid.
These Romanians seem to be very willing to rely on their own strength to challenge the regular army of the Franks, and actually ran to help those guys of the Czech independence movement, and those who are discerning know that those bohemians are not at all a climate, and they have not been defeated for almost a year, and they have already seen that they are surrounded, and they need the support of the Romanians for thousands of miles.
However, Hawley could only use these "achievements" to prevaricate Bernard's questioning at this time, and Jock sat behind Hawley and kept handing the information in the briefcase to Hawley, providing ammunition for Hawley to fight back against Bernard.
The chiefs of the other departments at the conference table looked at Hawley and Jock like monkeys, and they all knew that Romania was a bottomless pit, into which countless money and grain had been thrown, but the Germans had not yet gained the slightest profit.
The sound of "grab, grab, grab" sounded in the conference table, and at first the sound was drowned out by the quarrel between Hawley and Bernard, but the voice continued to abandon and abandon, and the sound grew louder and louder, until it overshadowed the sound of the two arguing, and both of them were taken aback, and turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from.
Marshal Henry kept tapping the table with the knuckle of his right index finger, and as a first-class swordsman, he knocked out a small hole in the conference table made of oak, which showed how hard he struck.
"I don't want to listen to you arguing like this anymore, I just want a result, have you discussed it? Do you want to provide assistance to Romania? Now! Now, I want results!" Marshal Henry's voice was low, but it was so penetrating that one could not but be shocked.
Hawley and Berner glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while, and there was a chill at the conference table. Henry didn't look at Hawley, he pointed to the MI5 chief and said, "De Gaulle, you come to Farank's situation!"
De Gaulle, who was also a lieutenant general, stood up, nodded first to Marshal Henry, and then to his colleagues seated, left his seat, walked to the wall behind Marshal Henry, and pulled back the curtain on the wall, a map of the entire continent of Abraham, but this map was obviously not what Lieutenant General de Gaulle wanted, he pushed the map board to the roof, and the other map fell as the whole map of the continent was included in the roof.
This is a fishbone diagram, which is marked "Paris" in the eye part of the fish, "Berlin" in the brain part, and Baghdad in the heart part, De Gaulle took an indicator rod from the indicator bar holder next to it, pointed the rod head to Romania and said: "Romania is located between the first and second ribs of the rib mountain system, with the Black Lake to the west, Attenburg to the south, Upper and Lower Poland to the north, and Austria to the east. Poland's border defense is ready to deal with possible encirclement and suppression through Poland!"
As the indicator rod moved, the color on the map also changed from time to time, and at a glance, it was clear that this map board was a high-level magic item, and now on the map, it was bounded by the Hengduan Mountains (called the Spine Mountains in Germany), and the color was red in the north, green in the south, and the mountains ranged from light green to dark red.
The position of the indicator point in de Gaulle's hand, the so-called first and second ribs of the pectoral rib system, is light red, and the red does not change much in the direction of Cmillia, but on the other side, the red is getting darker and darker.
"Now, the Romanians have crossed the first rib and advanced into the heart of the Frankish Empire, the Romanians' offensive in the early stage is quite smooth, after the successful occupation of Salzburg, the Romanian offensive has been contained, and this part of their troops is now cowering in Salzburg and dare not fight, and the Franks do not seem to have any desire to retake Salzburg, but they continue to increase their forces here, and it seems that they are going to hold on. De Gaulle's indicator stick was pointed at Neuder, where it was already red and purple, and everyone sitting felt like their throats were being choked.
The location was amazing, as Neude was just southeast of Salzburg, less than half a day's way from Salzburg, threatening the Romanians' logistical supply lines to the west and stabbing the Romanians in the back at any time to the north.
"The Frankish Ba-Ba theater has been established, under the jurisdiction of the 14th Cavalry Division, the 8th Cavalry Division, the 75th Infantry Division, the 7th Cavalry Division and the 155th Infantry Division, but as of yesterday, only the 8th Cavalry Division and the 75th Infantry Division were deployed on the front line from Linzi to the east of Salzburg, the reorganization of the 14th Cavalry Division has been completed and is being transferred to the front line, the formation of the 7th Cavalry Division was affected by their internal influence, and the formation was not smooth, and the 155th Infantry Division is still a purely paper force There is no cause for concern. When de Gaulle talked about the 7th Division, a trace of smugness on his face unconsciously revealed.
"Lieutenant General Hawley, you are in charge of the Romanians, and now the situation on the front line is quite favorable to our side, why don't you put in heavy troops in the direction of Salzburg? Even if you can't beat them in the end, you can at least pick up the Bohemians!" De Gaulle's indicator pole was pointed on Lin Zi: " Lin Zi's 44th Cavalry Division has less than 5,000 people, they have not yet completed mobilization, and the strength of the Ba-Ba theater is not enough to form a joint encirclement of the Bohemians and Romanians.
Lieutenant General Hawley's forehead couldn't stop dripping with sweat, but he said stiffly: "The Romanians have too little strength to fight, and they have to guard against an attack from the Polish direction!"
"Hehe, Polish direction, what if I told you that there could be no big move in the Polish direction?" De Gaulle looked at Hawley with a smirk.
"No way, the Polish side is Linton's troops, how can Linton be indifferent to the Romanian rebellion?" Hawley immediately retorted after hearing de Gaulle's words, no one could have believed that Linton would ignore the threat to his own territory.
"The closest people around Linton are our people, and your MI6 tentacles are too short!" De Gaulle looked at this competitor and was still very happy: "Linton's every move is in our eyes now, and we have enough strength to influence him to make any stupid decisions!"
Marshal Henry suddenly said: "Those decisions should not be stupid, right?" De Gaulle hurriedly bowed to Henry and said: "Of course, for us in Germany, these decisions are the most clever!" As he bowed to Henry, the corner of his eye glanced at the youngest brother of His Majesty the German Emperor, and the smile on the corner of Henry's mouth fell into his eyes.
"Go ahead, I'm going to hear your thoughts on the situation in the Franks. Henry glanced at de Gaulle encouragingly and motioned for him to continue.
Seeing that Hawley seemed to want to save the image in Marshal Henry's heart and was about to say something, de Gaulle hurriedly continued: "Linton concentrated his 30,000 troops on the border between Poland and Austria, and there is no strategic depth at all, and our intelligence officers have already found out that Linton has no reserve troops in his hands, and even sent his strategic reserve 8th Cavalry Division to the Ba-Ba war zone, if he can make any major moves, unless he has the ability to scatter beans into soldiers." ”
"I have heard that Linton is making a bet with a new nobleman to do something to put down a rebellion in Romania, thinking that his son will marry the daughter of the Frankish Emperor. Hawley was still looking for ways for himself to hit de Gaulle.
"I know this, this is not a new nobleman, he is the new head of the Petrovich family, the lord of Baden Province, it is because of his appearance that the 14th Cavalry Division can be integrated and assembled in such a short time, but he is trapped in family affairs and can't get out, which has bought us nearly a month, my inner line has sent back the news, this Petrovich does not return to the front line for a day, and the Linton family will not move for a day, so, Your Excellency Holly, you have a month to squander. De Gaulle said to Hawley with a smile on his face.
"......" Hawley did his breath in his seat, his eyes widened, but he couldn't speak.
"Oh, by the way, it was this Petrovich who made the Romanians return home in the small town of Neuid, he only had 300 local garrisons at that time, which were not regular troops, and you supported 3,000 Romanians!" De Gaulle's smiling face made Hawley want to go up and punch him twice.
"Now there are nearly 3,000 people in Neuid, and if Petrovich is in Neuid, maybe Salzburg has returned to the arms of the Franks?
Marshal Henry smiled and watched his two generals tear each other apart, he was still very willing to see this situation, Hawley's MI6 has always been responsible for the intelligence of Anglo-Saxon, and this time it was also to urge De Gaulle to work hard, so he handed over the Romanian business to Hawley to do, and seeing that the situation worked well, it seems that Hawley should be allowed to return to the Angsa Empire, and Romania should be handed over to Frankton de Gaulle to deal with.
