Chapter 318: Sending Berente Away

"You're in control!" In the headquarters of the Anglo-French army, Ganmalin pretended to be calm.

In just half a day, the loss of ten reorganized main divisions in central Belgium was tantamount to a painful defeat.

It can be said that the troops that the Kingdom of Belgium can fight have been sent to the middle line of defense. And now, they have collectively become prisoners of the German prisoner of war camps.

Of the remaining 12 divisions of the Belgian army, it was ...... There is not a single one who can fight.

"That's not right! The gaffe has already begun to develop in the direction of getting out of control. Even though he was sitting at the end of the French generals attending the meeting, Major General Belant couldn't help but get up and retort.

"Major General Birent......" Gan Malin snorted coldly, and said to Bronte in an indifferent tone: "On this occasion, you should listen more to the views of the senior generals, instead of expressing your stupid personal opinions. ”

From the words used by Ganmarin, as long as he is not an idiot with a negative IQ, he can hear his disgust with Major General Bironte.

This disgust is not just because Béronte has exposed his lie that "everything is under control". This is a cumulative grudge that has existed for a long time.

However, Belante did not seem to listen to the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces to shut him up, but raised his voice and continued: "Originally, I didn't want to speak, but now I have to remind you a few words! ”

"I don't need you to remind me yet!" Ganmalin also roared.

Obviously, what Belante did made the already narrow-minded admiral feel embarrassed and very angry.

"General Gan Molin!" Belante excitedly faced Ganmalin in the center of the conference room, and slammed his fist on the conference table: "We can't fool ourselves, we must admit that the German army's combat effectiveness is far beyond our imagination. ”

In Poland, the Germans had fended off an attack by a Polish Army Group with one division.

In Norway, a German infantry division was completely wiped out by twice as many British divisions, plus a French infantry regiment.

At present, on the Belgian Central Front, the three German armored divisions defeated ten Belgian main divisions that occupied fortifications and relied on geographical advantages to fight in just one morning.

All this tells again and again how strong the German army was.

It's just that Belante had a clear understanding of this after the battle in Poland. But Gammelin, even after the defeat of Belgium today, still turned a blind eye to the superior combat effectiveness of the German army.

We must wake up Gan Molin, he is the commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and he must not be lost!

Bellant swallowed his spit and continued: "By the time the German panzers showed ease in defeating the entire 10 Belgian divisions, the steps of our original plan had been disrupted. What is certain is that the final direction of this battle will definitely not be as rosy as the coalition high command had predicted. ”

Yes, the fact that the German army broke through the Belgian border defense line in half a day alone has already exceeded the expectation that the Belgian army would resist at least three days before Gammelin.

The dispatch plan had to become strained by the speed of the German blitzkrieg. The number of planned transport trains has also been more than doubled. The coalition forces are getting scrambling, because the gaffes are no longer out of their control......

Gan Molin's face was calm, and he looked coldly at Belant, who embarrassed him.

"Even if the High Command's previous estimate of the Belgian troops' ability to hold on was skewed, this did not prevent us from carrying out the next counterattack plan."

Although he is not enterprising, he is also a contemporary French celebrity. How could Belange, the little major general, steal the limelight.

What's more, it was not Belante who was really wary of Ganmalin, but the behind-the-scenes figure who guided Bérant - the French marshal, Pétain!

He must carry out his original plan with a tough stance, and this is at stake for his future position in the French army!

"The D-shaped counterattack plan didn't care when the Germans broke through the Belgian army's defense zone." Gan Molin looked around, raised his right fist and waved: "More than 400,000 counterattack troops are like an incomparably hard iron fist. Now, the task of this iron fist is to smash the main forces of the German army with all its might. As long as it is not a fundamental error of judgment, any detail discrepancies from the original expectation can be ignored! ”

As long as they were able to fight an encounter with the main German army, the Triple Alliance would be able to pull Germany into the trenches again.

When two large forces collided, the Germans would not be able to fight the blitzkrieg that they were so proud of. As long as the Allied counterattack forces were dense enough for the Germans to break through quickly, the war shifted to positional warfare.

Positional warfare, but Admiral Gan Molin's only specialty.

"But......," said Bironte, he wanted to be more cautious in the whole of Ganmalin.

"Nothing good!" Gan Molin frowned slightly, and interrupted forcefully: "The main force of the Germans has appeared, which is not only in line with the battle plan of the captured German army before, but also in line with the conjecture conclusion of the high command. In the big picture, we are in control! ”

Ganmarin stubbornly believed that he had discovered the location and objectives of the main German army, and he could not tolerate any more insistence from Beronte.

"The highly mobile British Expeditionary Force has already gone to the intended second line of defense. The large force of our French army is also on its way. Gan Molin half-squinted his glasses and asked Belante in a sarcastic tone: "Do you think that all this will be terminated because of the opposition of one of your major generals?" ”

Although everyone knew that Byland was warning for the sake of the overall situation, they all knew that Ghammarin's sarcasm was indeed too much. However, no one helped Bironte to speak a word of justice.

The French generals present had a clear understanding of Ganmarin's thoughts. It is not so much that Gammelin is embarrassment for Belante, but that Gammelin is using the suppression of Berente, like Bronte's old boss, Marshal Pétain, to demonstrate.

Gammelin hated the army, and in addition to himself, he believed in Marshal Pétain, an idler who had taken a back seat.

It made him feel bad!

Therefore, Gammelin has been suppressing all the generals who had a close relationship with Petain, including Bérente.

Now, any French general who spoke well of Béronte was regarded by Gammelin as a member of the "Petain faction". In that case, the future of this general will not be easy......

The French generals did not dare to say much, let alone the Belgian ones. They still expect Gan Molin to send troops to guard the defense line for the motherland, how dare they offend?

Lord Gott, the British Expeditionary Force, was the French major general who dared to speak and act at the same time. Moreover, he also heard Churchill, the Minister of the Admiralty, say that there was a major general named Béronte in France, who left a good impression on Churchill and was a good general.

However, Gort's troops had already entered Belgium under the command of Gammelin. At this time, if the French army had heeded Berente's cautious advice and remained still, wouldn't the British army have to face the German army alone?!

For the sake of the interests of the British Expeditionary Force, Goth didn't say much, just watched quietly, looking at the lost Belonte, who was "invited" out of the conference room alone.
