"W-What? They ......"

"Yes, you heard it right, France wants to reach an agreement with us through secret channels, creating a situation where there is no truce but peace. To do this, they are willing to provide 800,000 tonnes of wheat and other supplies per month, provided that we sign a non-disclosure agreement with them. ”

Richie was already a little confused, and he could not understand what kind of thinking France had chosen to do such a thing.

It was not the French officials who negotiated privately with the Second German Reich...... At least not on the surface. Under the banner of aiding their northern colleagues, they have come to carry out some so-called "humanitarian" aid.

Can private individuals come up with 800,000 tonnes or more of wheat per month?

Will a private person be able to come up with 30 million francs at once?

Can private individuals provide some rare metals?

It is estimated that not only Litch, but most of the people in the Second German Reich who knew about it should also be confused, because they could not understand what France meant.

The present situation of the French is very bad, very bad, they have retreated to the south and are being betrayed by their allies, the British.

No country has ever been so disgraced as France at this stage, with repeated defeats on the battlefield, armies being disarmed by allies, and civilians being attacked by both aircraft and warships of allies.

"They are determined not to surrender, even if they are driven out of the sea on the European continent, they will choose to continue the struggle in the colonies." Hans. Feng. Setek almost gritted his teeth: "Yes, yes, the United States, as the world's largest industrial power, has entered the war, and China has already gathered two million soldiers to prepare to drive to Europe to participate in the war, and they know that we will not be able to win the war." Even if the Romanov dynasty had collapsed, even if France had lost its war potential, they still believed that we could not achieve a final victory in the war! ”

Li Qi was silent, he also believed that it was difficult for the Second German Reich to win the final victory of the war, not because the German army could not fight, but because Germany would lose due to lack of materials, and because the ruling class did not win the support of the common people.

It may seem strange to say, but it will definitely be the case, the Second German Reich ruled by the Hohenzollerns was able to recruit soldiers from the state, which was an advantage brought by the national mobilization system, and it did not mean that the Hohenzollerns were loved.

"The emperor does not intend to accept such absurd conditions." Hans. Feng. Seckert looked a little worried: "The emperor demands that France admit defeat, otherwise no agreement will be reached." ”

Litchie remained silent. Of course, he knew how neurotic the "mouth cannon" Wilhelm II was, otherwise even if the Second German Reich would have joined the war, it would definitely not have joined in that way.

"In fact, we all know that after the war entered the war of attrition, it was difficult for Germany, which was blockaded and unprecedentedly isolated, to win the war." Hans. Feng. Seckert seemed to express a certain mood: "At that time, we tried again and again to reverse the disadvantage, but by now the Eastern and Western Fronts no longer pose a military threat, and the domestic situation will be the cause of the defeat of this war." ”

It seems that it is really the same thing, the threat of the Eastern Front of the Second German Reich was lifted in history, and the Western Front also had the advantage of the battlefield in the French theater, but it was defeated in such a situation.

"The people who lobby you, they're just a small part of that." Hans. Feng. Seckert looked at Richie, who was a little restrained, and said, "A great tide is brewing, and those who can stop them are not prepared to do anything." We are preparing ourselves, and we can't stop it. ”

It's still the "Green Plan", they are all making the necessary preparations for defeat, how to stop those people?

"You're going to be in an awkward position." Hans. Feng. As if to order, Seckert said, "You can cooperate with them appropriately, provided that you have those resources firmly in your hands." ”

For a moment, Li Qi had to wonder if he was going to be thrown out to be a "backstabber", but he really didn't see that he would have that weight.

"Yes, you're in control of those resources!" Hans. Feng. Seckert asked very seriously, "Are you willing to take on enough responsibility for the necessary revival in the future?" ”

What can Richie say? He saluted in silence.

"Good!" Hans. Feng. Seckert smiled hard and said, "The war will not be the only one, we have fought an unprepared war, so we cannot avoid defeat. In order to wash away the shame in the next war, some people will always have to make a certain sacrifice. What you're doing now is you're trying to get as many resources as you see fit, and that's what the rest of us are working on, and you're going to be responsible for that. ”

Richie maintained a saluting posture. He didn't know Hans. Feng. Why are Seckert and others who are deploying the Green Plan so sure that the Second German Reich will be defeated?

Leach only knew one thing, and that they were preserving the vitality of Germany's resurgence at best. To put it mildly, they are actually doing the same thing as those who are withdrawing money, factories, and any other resources, and they are digging into the walls of the Hohenzollern family. Strangely, Crown Prince Wilhelm was also involved in digging up the roots of the wall, and it seems that only the Kaiser was concealed?

Time passed little by little, and in May 1917, the Germans launched an offensive against the British-controlled areas of northwestern France.

The battle in northwestern France was modest in scale, with 38 divisions committed by the Germans, 26 divisions by the British as a defense, and 11 British, 2 American, and 1 Chinese divisions joining the battlefield.

Yes, it is called the area controlled by the British army, because although those places are the territory of the French, most of the French officials have been driven from their posts, and the local French troops have basically been disarmed, except for the French who still live there, the French cannot be the master.

It was only in July 1917 that Richie learned that Churchill was the one who had caused Britain to do that kind of thing, and he was stunned for a while, then relieved. Since it was Churchill who did it, there is no surprise, and only Churchill can be so unscrupulous. It's just that he originally thought that Churchill should not come to power until World War II.

By July 1917, the Germans had only captured the province of Ille-villena, but they were stopped in the province of North Maritime.

The British defense line in the North Maritime Province was not a hasty fortification in the province of Illae-Villena, but a kind of permanent fortification using reinforced concrete, and when Crown Prince Wilhelm, who was in charge of the fortifications, returned to Berlin and said without concealment: "The American troops participating in the war have appeared, 12 American divisions have landed in England, and 7 Chinese divisions in the Far East have appeared on the battlefield." In this war, which relies on the number of soldiers to attrition and then decides the winner, we have actually been on the side of complete disadvantage. ”
