Thanks to ~Ghost~, cct244, Night, Bleak yca, and Trance Fish for the tips. I don't know what happened to that chapter last night, and it didn't come out......

………………

[If I'm not mistaken, the so-called 'final battle' should be the last counterattack of the German army in World War I, right?] 】

Indeed, but this time the battle was different from history. Historically, the Germans were trying to break through the line of defense and capture Paris for the last time, but the tide of the war did not follow the new General Staff Officer. Feng. As Hindenburg expected, the Germans were not able to break through the Allied defenses, and even suffered heavy casualties in the attack, directly losing confidence in victory.

In this campaign, the Germans were trying to drive the Allied forces entrenched in northwestern France into the sea.

In the General Staff Headquarters, Paul. Feng. Hindenburg and Erich. Some people led by von Ludendorff have been preaching that as long as the set combat objectives are achieved, the Second Reich will definitely win the final victory.

Their argument was that once the Germans occupied northwestern France, France, having lost its allies on the European continent, would admit defeat, and even if France did not, the victorious Germans would certainly admit it.

Then, they decided that as long as they lost northwestern France and France surrendered, the Entente would have no place to stay. In this way, unless the Allies were willing to attack from a mountainous area like Italy, no matter how many troops there were, they could only pile up in Britain and wait for enough strength to launch a landing.

The time for the Entente to accumulate strength was the precious time for the Second Empire to adjust, and they believed that as long as there were about two years, the previous gains would be digested, the people's livelihood in the country would be improved by the replenishment of resources in the occupied areas, and the country's war machine would inevitably become stronger due to the increase in resources.

Doesn't that sound reasonable? It just makes so much sense! However, in many cases, the more plausible it is, the more false it seems, and at least Litchie knows that the participants in the Green Plan are Paul who is talking in generalities. Feng. Hindenburg. So, it's a deception, but it's a very realistic show!

In the whole meeting, Li Qi only had a few lines, the first sentence "Yes, in." The second sentence reads, "This is the data consolidated by the Department of the Air Force." ", after that? Not anymore.

Re-exiting the staff headquarters, the expression on Rich's face looked calm, and he was about to greet Joseph. Dietrich prepares the vehicle, but it is replaced by Hans. Feng. Seckert's lieutenant re-invited.

"I'm leaving Berlin for the east soon." Hans. Feng. Seckert was wiping his monocle again, and he said to Richie with a blank face: "It's part of the Green Plan." ”

Richie maintained an upright waist position, and he knew that Hans. Feng. Seckert must have something to say later.

Sure enough, Hans. Feng. Seckert didn't keep Richie waiting too long, and although he didn't make it so clear, he was going to the Eastern Front this time to do some necessary processing. For example, it is necessary to investigate the traffic situation on the Ukrainian side on the spot and be prepared for the withdrawal of the army at any time.

Hans. Feng. Seckert also vaguely mentioned a number of things, such as the emergence of some national movement organizations on the Polish side, and the fact that he would come into contact with some Polish Socialists on his way to Ukraine.

[This should be the beginning of the '1918 German-Polish Agreement', right?] It's just that they didn't expect what kind of door they would open. 】

"I will sign an order before leaving, but there is no guarantee that the order will be effective, after all, the crown prince ~ is the chief of the air force." Hans. Feng. Seckert looked intently at Rich, who had not had any mood swings, as if satisfied, and smiled rarely: "You need to leave Berlin for a while, get out of this storm center." ”

"General?" Li Qi spoke up for the first time: "At this time, the country needs me, maybe I can go to the front line in the west?" ”

Hans. Feng. Seckert gave Richie a deep look, didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

It's obviously a bit inappropriate to describe the current Second German Reich as a wall toppling down and everyone pushing it, but the presence of all kinds of people does make the situation worse.

[During the First World War, this group of people did this with the idea of preserving their strength, because the war no longer saw the dawn of victory. Their juniors will do the same in the future, but those people do it before the war, even when the situation is good, for what? 】

The speed of the car was not fast because Litchie appeared silent as he sat in the passenger seat and drove Adolf. Hitler, Joseph. Dietrich also did not speak.

Crowds of people could still be seen marching on the road, and more and more slogans were posted on some of the buildings, and people everywhere were standing on wooden barrels or some high place giving speeches, and the military and police did nothing.

Back at the Air Department building, Richie and Hugo . Speiler, William. Keitel made the necessary communication, and then he went directly to sit on a bench outside the office of the Chief of the Air Force.

The Germans wanted to fight a great war in northwestern France, and were ready to concentrate at least 92 divisions, 5,500 aircraft (including reserve reinforcements), and 3,178 artillery pieces to give the Allies a ruthless blow. A campaign of this magnitude cannot be kept in absolute secrecy.

[Why does the General Staff Headquarters think that the French in the south will do nothing and watch?] Isn't France's stubborn refusal to surrender precisely because it was clear to see the final victory of the Entente? So why do you think that France will only watch? Is it simply that the French are unhappy with the British? 】

Richie has too many questions now. From 1916 to 1917, he thought that the German General Staff Headquarters was very powerful, and that it was excellent on both the Western and Eastern Fronts. However, at the beginning of 1918, the once wise General Staff Headquarters began to make frequent mistakes, and as if it had become the base camp of Japan during World War II, it always thought that if it had written a script, the enemy would act according to it.

[Yes, there aren't many people who are really trying to save the war. All I know are those marshals and generals who are preparing for the post-war period, and what about those I don't know? The people, the capitalists, the generals...... A whole series of people are abandoning the country! Is it because of the spies of the Entente? Or did they just want to do it? 】

Richie only sat on the bench for half an hour before leaving.

In fact, Ruprecht. Maria. Lyutpod. Ferdinand did not return to the Air Ministry that day.

It wasn't until the next day that Richie learned about Ruprecht from the duty room. Maria. Lyutpod. Ferdinand had returned to the Kingdom of Bavaria, and there is no explanation as to why he did so.

Because the chief was not there, the first director also went to the Eastern Front, and Richie's attempt to go to the battlefield on the Western Front was not possible at all, and he and the other two directors quickly got busy. Because they received orders to actually move the planes in place in April 1918.
