On the morning of April 25, 1915, Qin Tian, accompanied by a senior general of the German army, entered Paris under the escort of the guards. At this moment, Paris has completely reduced to ruins. Everywhere there was charred rubble, collapsed buildings. The streets are densely covered with large and small craters. Here, there is no longer a bit of a world cultural city.

Because the streets are full of craters, cars cannot pass. Qin Tian and the others had to choose to walk. Walking in such a ruined city, Qin Tian was very emotional. Sure enough, it's much easier to destroy than to create. It has been more than 1,000 years since Paris was founded. Thousands of years of development have led to the creation of this civilized city. However, in just one week, the Germans bombed the city inside and out.

"Bang!"

In the distance, there were some gunshots scattered throughout, which made the guards around them very nervous. However, Qin Tian didn't have any panic. He is undoubtedly very confident in the strength of his guard. After all, these guards are the elite who have been carefully selected from the military. The vantage points around are also full of snipers. If, in such a situation, he is all assassinated, then he really deserves to die.

"Is the resistance in the city still tender and fierce?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Highness, there is only some sporadic resistance. The vast majority of the French chose to surrender to us. Only a handful of people chose to continue fighting. We have already drawn troops to purge the French who are holding out. Under the strangulation of snipers, these French did not hold out for long. It is estimated that in another three to five days, they will be able to wipe them all out. Admiral Crook said.

After the French surrendered to the Germans and the whole of Paris fell into German hands, the four German corps sent troops into Paris to take charge of the defense here and the task of clearing the remnants of the enemy. Overall, progress has been pretty good.

"Paris has been taken by us, are those French still obsessed? They continue to fight, and it will not do them any good. "said the commander of the 2nd Army Corps, Admiral Bilow.

"Either way, we are aggressors in the eyes of these French, they hit us, and that's as it should be. It's just that their behavior is completely like a mantis arm as a car. Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

Obviously, when the whole of Paris fell into the hands of the German army, the behavior of these French was no different from seeking death. Of course, there is nothing wrong with them fighting for their homeland.

Qin Tian and his party walked all the way to the Seine River. The cities on both sides of the river have been reduced to ruins. However, the river is still flowing quietly, as if it has not been affected at all.

The once world-famous Eiffel Tower, under the shelling and bombardment of the German army, has collapsed. A section of the tower fell into the river.

Looking at all this, Qin Tian said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we may be serious in those literary and artistic circles, and we have become barbarians who destroy civilization!" ”

"Haha, what about the barbarians? As long as we can win the war, even if we bear these infamy, then what is it? "said the commander of the 5th Army, Colonel-General Dimlin.

"That's right, we are soldiers, not so-called artists in the first place. Those cultural relics and monuments, in our opinion, are worthless. It is impossible for us to exchange the lives of our soldiers for these useless things. Admiral Crook said.

The other generals also nodded their heads again and again. As soldiers, what do they think about how to win? Or rather, how to win at the lowest cost. As for the opinions of others, they simply ignored them.

Paris, which has been reduced to ruins, does not have much to see. Therefore, after Qin Tian and the others took a casual look in the city, they left Paris and returned to Versailles.

This made the entourage, especially those officers and soldiers of the guards, breathe a sigh of relief. After all, there are still French people in the city who are resisting, and if there is any accident, how can it be done?

After returning to Versailles, Qin Tian and several group army commanders went directly into the war room to discuss the next stage of operations.

"Your Highness, Generals. After we took Paris, the strength of the Anglo-French alliance has been hit harder than ever. At present, the troops of the Anglo-French coalition army mainly remain the 10 armies of the French Army: the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th armies. The British Expeditionary Force was left with only the 1st Army and the 5th Army. Although, the Anglo-French forces had many unit numbers. However, there are not many troops left. Among them, the French 2nd Army, in the battle of Champagne Chalons, had been almost completely wiped out by us. The remaining armies, with the exception of the 11th and 12th armies, were also heavily damaged in the morning. The remaining strength of the French army is probably only more than one million. Moreover, the 11th Army and the 12th Army of the French Army were still newly formed units, and they were not even fully equipped with heavy weapons, let alone combat effectiveness. The 1st Army of the British Expeditionary Force, which was heavily damaged by our troops at Rouen, also suffered heavy losses, and the remaining troops of the whole army were less than 100,000 men. At the same time, the 5th Army of the British Expeditionary Force was also a unit that had just been formed. The combat effectiveness is also very poor. In addition, according to the information we have received, the French government has issued a mobilization order to prepare for the formation of three more army groups. In this case, the total strength of the Anglo-French army will be about 2 million people. Major General Manstein introduced.

The total strength of the Anglo-French forces still seems to be larger than the German troops on the Western Front. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Germans could easily defeat them. The troops of the Anglo-French forces, in addition to the disabled units, were newly formed units. How much combat effectiveness can be counted on such a force? Even against the elite forces of the Anglo-French army, the Germans were able to win easily, let alone face these rabble.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have taken Paris. However, the French did not seem to have any intention of surrendering. It seems that they want to keep fighting. These two million British and French troops may be their confidence. If we don't continue to defeat them and make them pay a heavy price, they will not bow their heads and beg for mercy. So, in the future, this battle needs to continue until we have completely defeated the French. Qin Tian said.

Since the French themselves don't know each other, don't blame him for killing them all.
