"Smack!" In the Allied High Command in Paris, Gammelin was angrily slamming the documents returned by the Belgian 13th Division to the ground.

"These selfish Belgian fools, they actually disobeyed my orders, abandoned their positions and fled!"

No one dared to provoke Gan Molin at this moment, and everyone knew the temper and temperament of this coalition commander.

Not to mention the complete failure of the formulation of Plan D that he personally presided over, all the promises and predictions he made before now seem to have become a bunch of jokes.

What had long been seen through everything, and the German rear hands were guessed; There is also a requirement that the coalition forces do not need to leave strategic reserves, but only attack with all their might; swore an oath that the Ardennes region was not suitable for the passage of large forces, especially armored units, and that there was no need to send the main forces to garrison them, and so on.......

The commander-in-chief of the Triple Alliance doesn't seem to have done anything beautifully. It's as if it would be a complete mistake to put him in such a heavy position!

This is not? Ganmalin, who had never been able to find a place to vent, happened to meet the Belgian army's Major General Lukaku who disobeyed the order to retreat, so he vented the anger in his heart together.

"Damn the Belgians, they betrayed the coalition forces and opened our hinterland to the Germans." Gan Molin's eyes were red, and he roared loudly: "It's all the fault of the Belgians, it is because of their naked betrayal that the coalition forces have ended up where they are today!" ”

Pull it down. The officers on the side were almost unable to listen. Although it was indeed wrong for the Belgian 13th to retreat in disobedience, it was not a crime that led to the defeat of the coalition forces.

The Belgians had already sacrificed all of their elite main forces for the sake of the coalition, and they had paid a lot of casualties and costs at the beginning of the war, which was obvious to all. It would be too one-sided and unfair to blame the Belgian soldiers for the failure.

Besides, the two French infantry divisions that needed the Belgian 13th Infantry Division to cover the response had been caught up and annihilated by the German armored forces, and it was only natural for them to retreat at this time. Had it not been for the Allied command counting on them but cannon fodder to delay the Germans, the Belgian 13th Division should have been allowed to retreat to a shorter line of defense and redeploy according to normal military doctrine.

But Ganmalin could not listen to this, and he did not want to listen to these teachings. He just stood upright next to the large map hung by the wall of the Headquarters, staring at the coalition troops surrounded by a red circle.

It is true that if it were not for the more than 200,000 Belgian soldiers scattered and blocked the long front from the border as cannon fodder, perhaps the German army could have completed the encirclement earlier and surrounded the British and French troops.

Had it not been for the distraction of the Germans to annihilate one Belgian force after another, the British Expeditionary Force and the French Home Army would have suffered even greater losses than they already have.

Gan Molin's mind was in turmoil, and he didn't know who to blame.

The British Expeditionary Force and the French Home Army have always fought under his command. If you have to say that the British and French troops did not do it right, wouldn't it be slapping him in the face and saying that there was something wrong with his command?!

The memories of the past ten days are still constantly recalling in his mind. From the Germans, as planned by D, the Germans attacked from northern Belgium. Then he ordered not to leave any strategic reserves and carry out the net closing operation. Finally, a large number of German armored forces suddenly appeared in the Ardennes area, the southern flank of the coalition army was routed, and the main force of the three coalition forces fell into the German encirclement........

Everything was like a dream. When he came back to his senses, the situation had reached the point of no return!

He unconsciously ordered all the main forces of the coalition forces to be thrown into the encirclement of the German army, and his own far-sighted stubbornness withdrew all the strategic reserves, and he was powerless to watch the coalition forces be wiped out step by step by the blitzkrieg of the German armored forces.........

This was the darkest and weakest war he had ever experienced since graduating from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy and joining the army.

He served as the chief of operations of the French base camp, brigade commander, and division commander. He also served as the commander of the French army in Syria, commanding the French army to suppress the Syrian people's national liberation uprising against the French colonialists. From field commander to chief of the army general staff, then to the chief of the general staff of the Ministry of Defense, to the commander-in-chief of the French army, and finally to the commander-in-chief of the Triple Alliance.

Through his tenure under the famous French marshal Xia Fei, it took him only 13 years to reach heights that others could not reach in a lifetime. In order to stabilize the French army's defensive line, he also asked the French government for an additional 170 million francs to strengthen the Maginot Line. And meticulously, he also made a second plan, and was ready in Belgium to deal with the German army bypassing the Maginot Line.

It's a pity that Gan Molin's military department has made a statement over the years has made him develop the habit of being stubborn.

He was very cautious and meticulous, and was once an incomparably excellent staff officer under the famous French World War I Marshal Xia Fei. It's a pity that he is not a qualified general.

Similar to Ganmerin, Manstein, who also served as a staff officer under the famous German general Rundstead and made his fortune in it. After formulating the "Scythe Harvest Plan" for the decisive battle, like Gammelin, he did not dare to assert that the plan would be successful, and left a plan to deal with the unexpected (not only Manstein, but also Boulschich and others were able to discover this), and designed a strong strategic reserve for the German army.

However, not a single person in the entire French command questioned Manstein as did the German command Rybrachch, and demanded a contingency plan. In the Allied High Command, Montgomery, a British general who proposed that a strategic reserve should be reserved, was met with angry eyes from Gammelin.

As a result, when the fortress failed, the French line opened a 50-mile-wide opening, and the Allied High Command could not come up with a single force that could be used to stop the Germans as thousands of German tanks drove through the undefended northern plains of France.

If Gan Molin hadn't been so arrogant, if he had listened to a few more words of unspoken advice and adopted it, things would definitely not have developed to the point of erosion today. But he didn't, not only did he not let go of his blind arrogance, but he was still unwilling to find his own mistakes, and unreasonably blamed all the losses on the Belgian allies!

"Let our troops speed up their retreat and move towards the port cities in the north as soon as possible." After venting, Gan Malin also gave full play to the only advantage he had learned as a staff officer, looking for the next step.

The Belgians can't count on it, and they don't necessarily have anything to rely on. The only thing that could be pinned on was the plan of the fat British man who flew to Paris the day before yesterday - to withdraw the coalition forces in the encirclement from the sea to England, and then transport them back to the French rear and put them back into the battlefield.

"Let's hope this retreat can breed future victories and become a miracle." Gan Molin sighed in a low voice to himself.
