Chapter 520: Absurdity (2700 votes plus more)
Qin Tian set up his headquarters in Versailles. Although, this is just a small town on the outskirts of Paris. However, it is a famous place. It was here that Wilhelm I was crowned emperor in the Franco-Prussian War, after the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Second French Empire, and established a unified German Empire.
Of course, that has become an eternal pain in the hearts of all French people. France and Germany have thus become old enemies.
However, in this war, Germany once again had the absolute upper hand. The German* army once again occupied Versailles. The whole of Paris had fallen under the siege of the German army. It can be said that Germany seems to be not far from victory in this war.
"Your Highness!" The commander of the 1st Army Corps, Admiral Crook, was full of spring breeze. The victory of the Left Wing on the battlefield of Rouen led Wilhelm II to send a telegram in his commendation. This made Admiral Crook very happy.
"General Crook, I set up my headquarters here, it won't affect you, right?" Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Your Highness, you are too polite. It is an honor for you to be able to locate your headquarters in the defense zone of the 1st Army Corps. What's more, Versailles was originally a famous city. It was here that the splendor of the German Empire was established. I believe that under the leadership of His Royal Highness, the German Empire will usher in new glory here. "Admiral Crook can be said to have completed his convincing belief in Qin Tian. Qin Tian's performance has conquered almost everyone in the German Army. Everyone believed that Qin Tian would be the future leader of the German Empire.
Qin Tian nodded: "General Bilo, General Dimlin, and General Ludendorff are here to see me." Before launching an attack on Paris, we need to discuss how to attack. ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Major General Manstein immediately went to make arrangements.
On the afternoon of April 16, the commanders of the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 8th German corps arrived at the headquarters in Versailles. Everyone's faces were beaming. They didn't seem to expect that this time the battle would go so smoothly, and in just half a month, they had already arrived in Paris. As long as Paris is taken, it is very unlikely that the French will continue to resist. Of course, even if the French continued to fight, the Germans would have enough strength to crush them. This undoubtedly means that Germany is not far from winning the final victory in the war.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Paris is now at hand. As long as we take Paris, then the battle will almost come to an end. However, I hope that everyone will not be proud in the attack on Paris that will follow. After all, the French army, although heavily damaged by us, was still a long way from their defeat. If, because of pride and negligence, we are defeated in the city of Paris, it will completely destroy the hegemony of the Empire. I don't want that to happen. Qin Tian said.
The so-called half-ninety who traveled a hundred miles is now only one step away from Germany defeating France. He also knew that the continuous victories had made many officers and soldiers a little complacent. Qin Tian didn't want this to affect the next battle.
"Yes, Your Highness." Several commanders saw that Qin Tian said with a serious face, and they all replied immediately.
"For the attack on Paris, let's attack on the center of Paris, according to the current positions of the legions! Although, according to the information we have obtained, there are still 500,000 Anglo-French troops in the city of Paris. But, I hope, we can take Paris in a week. At the latest, this time should not exceed two weeks. Qin Tian said.
Although, it seems a little too unrealistic to take Paris in two weeks, and at the same time eliminate the hundreds of thousands of British and French officers and soldiers inside. However, the commanders of several army groups were of the opinion that this was not impossible. After all, the elite troops of the Anglo-French alliance had already been almost wiped out by them in the previous battles. Most of the rest are newly formed and poorly trained new units. In the face of the elite units of the German army, it is strange that they can withstand it.
"Your Highness, it is a little difficult to take Paris in a week. However, if Paris is taken in two weeks, there should be no problem. Admiral Crook said.
"Yes, Your Highness. The will to fight of the British and French forces has been completely crushed by us. I believe that the Anglo-French forces in Paris are also not determined to fight us to the death. Admiral Dimlin also said.
"Your Highness, the French have undoubtedly made a mistake in deploying their forces to defend Paris. They should not have put the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force in Paris. After all, Paris is the capital of the French, not the British. The French may come and fight us for Paris, but the British will not. Lieutenant General Ludendorff also said.
Qin Tian couldn't help laughing, he estimated that Marshal Xia Fei probably didn't think about it so much at that time.
"In that case, we have a better chance of winning Paris. I hope that we will be able to win soon. Qin Tian said.
"The Empire will win!" Several generals were full of confidence.
It was at this time that Major General Manstein came in.
"Your Highness, domestic telegrams." Major General Manstein handed the telegram to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian took the telegram and looked at it, and his face suddenly became a little unpleasant.
"Your Highness, has something happened?" Major General Ludendorff asked.
"Humph! This is a telegram from His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty said that there are many so-called artists in the country, claiming that Paris is a capital of art, and that the buildings in it are all cultural relics, and that we should pay attention to protecting those buildings when attacking Paris. If those buildings were destroyed, it would be a loss of artistic wealth for all mankind. Qin Tian said. It's just that his expression is full of teasing.
"Fart! Do you want us to attack Paris without firing artillery? Don't bomb? In that case, wouldn't it be for our soldiers to be sent to their deaths? Those shameless guys, if they want to say something like that, then they themselves go and knock down Paris. Admiral Crook was immediately furious.
"Yes! Your Highness. Our strength lies in our firepower. If you abandon this aspect, it will be impossible to take Paris in two weeks. Even our losses will definitely exceed expectations. Admiral Birlow also said.
Qin Tian nodded: "Your Majesty just forwarded the telegram to us, and did not force us to comply with it. I've always believed that it's the lives of soldiers that are the most reported. To hell with those works of art and artifacts! ”
