Crey, British Expeditionary Force Command. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In Sir French France's office, several British and French generals were frowning at the military map. The map shows that more than 500,000 men of the German 1st and 8th Army Corps have already launched an attack. There is no doubt that this is undoubtedly a great test for them.

"Gentlemen, the Germans have attacked. Their striker, leaving Amiens, headed south. It is expected that contact with our troops will be made by tomorrow morning at the latest. Sir French said.

"Your Excellency, the Germans are also attacking in the Marne. On Marshal Xia Fei's side, the pressure was very high. It was clear that the Germans were preparing to launch an all-out attack and defeat us in one fell swoop. "said the commander of the 1st Army of the British Expeditionary Force, Admiral Haig.

"Yes! For the Germans, having defeated the coalition forces, they could declare the final victory. We can't do anything about them. Admiral Benson, commander of the 3rd Army of the British Expeditionary Force, sighed.

For these generals of the British Expeditionary Force, the disastrous defeat of the Royal Navy was also a pain in their hearts. Although, in the United Kingdom, the status of the Royal Navy is much higher than that of the Army, and the annual military expenditure has always been the lion's share of the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy is unlucky, and these suppressed army generals can be regarded as having a bad breath in their hearts.

However, the crushing defeat of the Royal Navy also pushed the British Empire to the brink of defeat. If the British Empire were defeated in this war, the consequences would be severe. The entire British Empire will suddenly decline from the status of world hegemon to become an ordinary country, which is undoubtedly something that these generals cannot accept.

Therefore, the generals of these expeditionary forces hoped to defeat the Germans by their own strength. In this way, they can be the saviors of the British Empire. At that time, the status of the army in Britain will also be greatly improved, and it may even be able to be crowned with the title of Royal Army.

It's just that the Germans were too strong. In last year's battle, they lost a lot of troops. The Anglo-French forces tried their best to resist the German attack. In half a year, the strength of the Anglo-French alliance has become stronger. But in the same way, the German army has also undergone a radical change and has become stronger. This is definitely not good news for the Anglo-French forces.

"Your Excellency, I understand that the combat effectiveness of the German army has been greatly improved compared with half a year ago. The troops they launched an attack on the Marne showed their great combat power to the fullest. Not only is it equipped with a large number of artillery and machine guns, but the will to fight has also increased. Therefore, I am afraid that this battle will not be easy to fight. The commander of the 1st French Army, Admiral Despére, said with some concern.

Admiral Despere's words immediately silenced the atmosphere in the office. Everyone knows that this time is undoubtedly a great test for the British and French forces. If it fails, it will undoubtedly be France that will be the first to be unlucky. However, after the fall of France, Britain will never be able to run. The current Britain and France are like a pair of difficult brothers, whose fate has been tied together, and if they fail, they will not end well.

"In any case, for the sake of the British Empire and the French Republic, we must do everything we can to defeat the Germans. Otherwise, both of us will be doomed. Sir French said.

Admiral Haig, Admiral Benson, and Admiral Despere all nodded their heads.

If they could, they certainly didn't want to go to war with the Germans. It's just that the outbreak of war is not decided by them. But once the war began, they had no other choice. The only thing they can do is to do their best to win the war.

"First of all, we need to figure out the intentions of the Germans, where they are focusing their attack, which is very important. This made it easier for us to draw a strong army against the Germans. Secondly, we need more troops. I have already sent a telegram to Marshal Xia Fei requesting that the 4th Army of the Expeditionary Force be transferred. If it could, the French 10th Army stationed in Paris could also go to the front line to fight. There was no more effective way to keep Paris than to defeat the Germans. Sir French said.

"Sir Sir, I think the focus of the German attack should be Paris. Nothing is more important than Paris. Didn't the Germans always want to force us out of the war? He may have thought that by taking Paris, he would be able to get what he wanted. Admiral Despere said.

Sir French nodded, Paris was indeed the best target. From the very beginning of the war, this was the target of the German army. It's just that the last time the Germans were not able to succeed. But this time, it is difficult to say whether the Germans will succeed or not. At the very least, the current situation is very unfavorable for the Anglo-French forces.

"From Amiens to Paris, there are many routes. However, if the Germans wanted to save time, a direct attack was best. That's what we're looking forward to. In the past six months, we have built a large number of fortifications north of Paris. If the Germans attacked, these fortifications would have come in handy. Admiral Haig said.

Sir French frowned, the Anglo-French army was building fortifications north of Paris, and the Germans could not be unaware. So, will the Germans do what they want? This is undoubtedly difficult to say.

"Order the front-line troops, watch the vigilance. As soon as the Germans attack, report immediately. Sir French said.

When it was impossible to judge the direction of the German offensive, it was only possible to adopt such a stupid method.

"Yes, Sir Sir." Several generals replied.

"Also, prepare the main forces and dispatch them as soon as the direction of the German offensive is determined. This time, it was necessary to successfully hold off the German attack. Wait until we have destroyed their living force, and then launch a counterattack to defeat them once and for all. Sir French said.

Sir French also wanted to lead the LinkedIn Expeditionary Force to defeat the German army. Although, there is a big gap in strength between the two sides. But Sir French believed that the British Expeditionary Force and the French Army together would have enough strength to fight the Germans. With a bit of luck, it was not impossible to defeat the Germans.

To defeat Germany and save the British Empire, they had to defeat the German army on the battlefield in France and win. This was their only hope of winning the war.
