Saint-Omer, a small town in northern France, a private house opposite the Cathedral of Saint-Omer in the town is Max? Hoffman's relocated General Command on the Western Front.

One of the largest living rooms in the house was used as a command room, where Max spent a lot of time every day, in addition to sleeping, coordinating the entire Western Front army. Is this Max? Hoffmann, if Ludendorff or Hindenburg were to order the headquarters, they would have chosen the closest place to the French troops, because they felt that this was the place where the Germans needed to attack the most.

A captain walked up to Max? Hoffmann saluted in front of him and said, "Sir, a telegram from Berlin." Then he handed the letter to him with both hands.

The letter in the captain's hand was the Enigma that had just been used by the Ministry of Defense, and Brauchitsch had told Max? Hoffmann's new code could not be cracked, and its secrecy was very high, but because of the small production of this kind of machine, it did not enter the army on a large scale, and was only used in the upper echelons of the German commander-in-chief.

After a quick reading of the contents of the letter, Max said to the captain: "Send a message to General François, the attack will begin tomorrow morning, and a day's rest is enough, let them behave well." ”

The captain asked suspiciously, "Don't you wait for Mr. Max to finish the negotiation first?" Wouldn't this be ???"

Before the captain could finish speaking, Max shoved the letter into the captain and said: "The arrogant Americans feel that they have the chance to win, and they don't want peace talks at all. This time we took the initiative to ask for a truce, but they were not happy, that's good, drive them into the sea! As Max's various orders were sent to the front in a telegram, the entire command began to run wildly, and the special staff team began to change or adjust the layout of the parties according to the telegrams played at the front, and Max stared closely at Boulogne, who was only one step away from Saint-Omer on the map. The U.S. Army, which had suffered a great loss in defense, made great efforts to dig trenches this time, and dug more than ten kilometers of full-length trenches between the two places in just one day, the purpose of which was to delay the German attack so that the Navy could organize a fleet to take them away from here. Max, the commander-in-chief of the German army as the enemy? Hoffmann's mission was to keep the American troops here, but he needed to change his identity under the guard of the German army.

Herman? Cal? Bruno? Feng? François, general of the Wehrmacht, participated in the Battle of Stovalobern, the Battle of Tannenberg, the Battle of Verdun, and served as the deputy commander of the army group under Eric on the Eastern Front. François remained in Berlin until the Paris operation began, as part of the original plan and as a protective measure against mutiny in the uncertain situation of Eric's government, after all, Eric did not want to overturn in such a situation.

François is 62 years old, and with the exception of Hindenburg, who has retired from the army and entered politics, François is one of the few generals in the German army who has participated in two-front operations. The veteran general was notoriously at odds with Ludendorff, and even Eric, who was then commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, was disobeyed by François. What impressed Eric most was that in Tannenberg, probably the most decisive victory of the entire war, François once again refused to accept orders for defense, and twice in quick succession disobeyed Ludendorff's direct orders. In particular, Ludendorff was afraid that the line of defense would be breached, so he panicked for a moment and ordered François's entire army to advance north to Lannes to support the battle in the center. But François realized the vital importance of cutting off the enemy's retreat, and out of a disinterested disposition to any order he disagreed, he continued to march along the original route. The next day, his army had cut off the route of the Russian army's southward flight. The irony of the end is that this act of resistance helped Hindenburg and Ludendorff to achieve a decisive victory over Samsonov's Second Army, which culminated in the suicide of Russian commander-in-chief Samsonov in a dense forest before he was captured by the Germans. François also led his troops to capture 90,000 prisoners in this victory, which can be regarded as a typical example.

Max? When Hoffman was still on the Eastern Front, he also learned the personality of the veteran general many times. When Eric reorganized the army, many people disagreed with Eric's arrangement of François as commander of Army Group A, because the veteran general was known for not listening to commands.

This attack on the US army was another key battle, and Max did not want to make mistakes, and he could not change the fact that the old general did not listen to the command, so he had to ask for too much when he sent the report, and just asked Army A to be responsible for destroying the US army, and did not give a specific plan, because Max knew that the action plan given would not necessarily come step by step.

After reading the deployment map of Army Group A and the United States, Max refocused his attention on the line from Marques to Calais, which was the position of the British army, unlike the stubborn resistance of the American army, the British and the Dominion Expeditionary Force under their leadership almost thought that the war was over, and did not make the slightest intention of defending the German army, and some even happily played in groups by the beach, and the commander did not stop them, they all thought that this peace talks would be successful, because there was really no hope of victory. Having lost almost all military supplies, the British could not even make up a reserve for an artillery bombardment, which was worse than the situation of the American army.

The situation of the British army is the most complicated, it is not good to fight too hard, and it is impossible not to fight, just in Max? When Hoffmann was in a dilemma, a telegram came from Berlin, a direct directive from Eric's presidential office - to ask Max? Hoffmann personally spoke to the British commander-in-chief and demanded that the British surrender, and that the Germans would arrange for a train to take them to Bruges, Belgium, after the British were disarmed, where they would await the final negotiations, during which the British could move around Bruges as they pleased.

Max? After receiving the order, Hoffman no longer hesitated, and immediately called for someone to arrange vehicles and let the Germans at the front get in touch with the British.

Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, Charles? Komin? Sir Edgerton had no qualms about receiving an invitation from the German commander-in-chief, but there was nothing to worry the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force about the present situation, but just before he was about to depart, a telegram from London was belated.
