Chapter 167: The Battle of Poland: Britain and France

Hearing this, Mośichitsky looked at the map, was silent for a long time, and said: "What about the Polish corridor?" The Central Front is shrinking back, what will happen to the Army Group 'Pomerania' in the Polish corridor? What to do with Danzig? As soon as the central front contracted, their flanks were completely exposed to the German Army Group A! ”

"Let them break through immediately! Withdraw as much as you can! The general waved his hand and said, "As for Danzig, it can't be saved!" Danzig's coastal defense forces were depleted by the first round of saturation bombardment by the German Navy and the first round of saturation bombardment by the German Naval Aviation, and now Danzig is fighting street battles with the German 1st Marine Division with a light infantry division. ”

"What if we can win?" Mośichitsky looked into the general's eyes and said expectantly.

"Impossible, Mr. President." The general said in frustration, "The troops of German Army Group C stationed in East Prussia are trying to get closer to Danzig. ”

"Well, well." Mośichitsky sighed and said, "At this point, I can only approve this plan of yours, and let our army retreat!" ”

"Understood!" The officers were overjoyed, saluted, and left Mościcki's side, each assigning his own task.

"Secretary, arrange a plane for me." Mościcki stood up and said to his secretary, "I'm going to meet Chamberlain and Lebrun, they are our last hope!" ”

Hours later, Paris, France, the Presidential Palace.

"Monsieur Lebrun, Monsieur Chamberlain, it has been three days since Germany invaded France, why haven't you declared war on Germany yet?" As soon as he saw Lebrun and Chamberlain, Mościcki couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, "Are all your promises to me false?" Do Britain and France still have credibility?! ”

"Mr. Mośichitsky, don't worry." was blocked by the Polish president at the door of the house and forced to ask, which made Lebrun a little unhappy, "What we promised will definitely be done!" ”

"Then please tell me, Mr. Lebrun, how long will Poland have to wait for the help of its allies?" Mośichitsky sighed, "Two gentlemen, forgive me for my unkind tone. ”

Hearing Mościtchki's apology, Lebrun's face changed to the better, and he replied: "We have already given an ultimatum to Germany in the morning, ordering them to cease fire by the early hours of this morning." And the reason why this ultimatum dragged on for three days is because both of our countries are mobilizing troops. ”

"Mr. Mośichitsky, why is the German army advancing so fast?" Chamberlain asked, "With the fighting strength of the Polish army, it should not have been defeated so quickly." ”

Mośichitsky was embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "The German armored forces are very powerful, and we lack anti-tank weapons, so we can't fight their tanks on the western plains." ”

"Will Poland be able to hold off the German offensive before our reinforcements arrive on the battlefield?" Chamberlain asked, "Our troops are already moving towards the German-French border, as long as you party group the momentum of the German offensive and hold off their two army groups A and C, we will be able to defeat their two army groups B and D on the German-French border, and then we will be able to defeat Germany in one fell swoop if we drive straight into Germany!" ”

"Yes!" Mošičitsky replied with an oath, "We were not prepared to lose the line of defense on the Varta River, and let the battlefield go to the plain offensive that the Germans were good at, and we have now abandoned the western part of Potsnań Province and reduced our forces to the line of the Plas River, so that the battlefield has re-entered the defensive position that we are good at." I believe that with our full preparations, it is absolutely impossible for the Germans to break through the natural danger of the Pros River! ”

"Good!" Lebrun smiled, "I believe that with the cooperation of our three parties, this war will soon be over!" ”

At the same time, Berlin, Germany, the capital of the Führer.

"Hehe, let's stop before the wee hours of the morning?" Leon looked at the telegram co-signed by Chamberlain and Lebrun in his hand, and sneered twice, "Just kidding, what about the ultimatum?" Since I started beating Poland, I already say I'm ready to beat you both at the same time! Ridiculous Lebrun and Chamberlain, haven't they yet recognized reality? ”

Just as Leon was mocking the British and French to himself, an officer came at the door, knocked on the door and shouted: "Long live the Führer!" ”

"Moder is here? Come in, come in! Leon looked at the visitor, smiled and waved him in.

"My Führer, are you looking for me?" Modell asked, looking at Leon suspiciously.

"Look at this!" Leon nodded and said, then handed the "Anglo-French ultimatum" in his hand to Modell.

Modell took the message and read it carefully.

After a few moments, Moder finished reading the message and handed it back to Leon, saying, "My Führer, England and France are going to declare war on us?" ”

"Yes!" Leon replied, "Do you know what I called you for?" ”

Moder was silent for a moment, and then replied, "I guess you want me to defend the empire from a possible attack by Britain and France, right?" ”

"Clever!" Leon clapped his hands and smiled, "That's it, though, how did you guess that?" ”

"Because you're calling me, not anyone else." "I think that as a commander, I am inferior to Rommel and them in attack, but they are inferior to me in defense!" So I'm guessing you called me instead of Rommel, and it must have been to defend the above! ”

"Haha, it seems that you are very clear about your position!" Leon laughed happily.

"Then I'll go back and mobilize the troops!" "My Eighth Army is still on the line from Waldshut to Lelach, and I have to move it to the German-French border in the shortest possible time!" ”

"No, no, no!" Leon waved his hand and said, "The Eighth Army will go to the German-French border, but it will not be commanded by you!" ”

Modder was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and hesitated: "That...... So where do I go? ”

"Go to Army Group B! Succeed Manstein as Chief of the General Staff of Army Group B! Leon said, "I hope that Army Group B will make France suffer greatly in your hands!" ”

"Yes, my Führer!" Moder was overjoyed, "I will certainly live up to the expectations of the Führer and the Empire!" ”

"But...... But what if I succeed Manstein? When Moder had finished speaking, he thought of his old friend Manstein, and he gritted his teeth and persuaded, "My Führer! Manstein was a very good chief of staff, and I don't know what mistakes he made, but I hope you don't bury him. ”
