“…… No country has ever been so barbaric as Germany, and the harm they have done to France is no longer purely at the level of war, they are plundering everything they can like robbers! ”

France, United Kingdom, United States...... and any other country of the Entente, including some neutral countries, who were vigorously denouncing and protesting against the plundering of France, Belgium and other occupied territories by the Second German Reich.

Condemnation and protest useful words, what to do with the army? Naturally, the Entente knew this.

In order to put an end to the barbarism of the Second German Reich, the Anglo-French forces on the European continent launched a new counterattack against the German army, but once again it was a bloody head. In the new round of counterattacks, another 260,000 French troops and 80,000 Commonwealth soldiers were put in the infighting sequence...... It's the war dead or missing.

The Second German Reich, which had won another victory, naturally persuaded the new French government to surrender with an arrogant posture, and clamored that the United States and China had entered a wrong war, and that they would pay an unbearable price for it.

The failure of the Anglo-French counterattack led directly to the German attack on the Bordeaux line, but this time the Germans were too optimistic and paid a heavy price.

The total number of troops that the German army invested in the Bordeaux offensive was 36 divisions, because many of them were not fully established, and the actual number of soldiers invested was about 750,000, not 900,000 of the 36 divisions. On the first day of their attack, they were met with desperate resistance from the French on the defensive line, and after only 3 kilometers of attack, they were forced to stop after only 3 kilometers.

"That is, we shelled for a week, waiting for the infantry to enter the battle, and we spent 4 days advancing 3 kilometers at the cost of 40,000 soldiers?" Rich, who had come to Berlin again, was stunned to hear the news. He asked with a somewhat incredulous expression and tone, "And then the total number of casualties is 150,000?" ”

The French learned a tactical arrangement from the Germans, where they concentrated a large number of machine guns, built a large number of bunkers for concealment, and formed a dense crossfire. When the German infantry was close enough, the machine guns opened fire, and the dense fire caused the charging German soldiers to be cut down like wheat at the first moment.

"We used such tactics to slaughter the enemy during the Battle of the Somme, and now we are facing such slaughter." Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch smiled bitterly: "We are proud, yes, pride has cost us dearly!" ”

Not only proud, but also tsundere, all because the Second German Reich took Paris, they thought that the war was already in their hands, and that the French army, which had repeatedly faced defeat and even women had been drafted into the battlefield, became vulnerable. However, the combat effectiveness of the French army, which had women in the war, increased, proving once again that only foreigners and women participated in the war in France had a certain combat effectiveness.

"Recently there was a rumor that the French army was only capable of fighting under the leadership of foreigners and women." Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch looked at the stunned Li Qi strangely and said, "Many people say that the phrase came from your side?" ”

It was when Li Qi was chatting with his subordinates, telling jokes and mocking French men, but it was widely circulated.

If the armies of the Second German Reich had not suffered a "Bordeaux setback" on the battlefield, the joke would have been a joke, and the worst thing was that the German offensive had been frustrated, and it turned out that some people had apparently noticed Rich's previous remarks.

The Second German Reich did not have a Gestapo or any other secret police, but the General Staff Headquarters was responsible for some intelligence matters. In addition, the military of the Second German Reich did not actually have any coercive rule, unless it was an absolute death, even the Kaiser could only dismiss some officers from their posts instead of arresting and shooting. Therefore, the person who came to Li Qi would be Wa~er~Te, who served in the General Staff Headquarters. Feng. Brauchitsch.

Since it is Wa~Er~Te. Feng. Brauchitsch came over, and Litch immediately understood that this was a big or small thing, because he had a relationship with Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch didn't deal with each other much, but he wasn't stiff enough to hate each other. At the same time, Wa ~ Er ~ T. Feng. Brauchitsch is a "Western Front", not an "Eastern Front", so as long as Li Qi says a reasonable reason and does not spread relevant remarks, this matter is probably over.

Li Qi described the whole thing a bit, and then Wah ~ Er~ T. Feng. Brauchitsch is gone.

"How can I blame you for something like that?" William. Cole used a expression full of inexplicability: "It's because some people are proud, they no longer take the French army seriously, and they will suffer the consequences of their own evil." ”

"Alright, William." Richie instructed, "Please help me find the documents about the plane order." ”

William. Cole is now Richie's aide-de-camp. An adjutant was a special position in the German army, and was usually appointed only if it was considered to be of training value.

Of course, it wasn't Richie himself who found William. Cole was appointed by the War Department and the General Staff Headquarters. If Richie were to look for an adjutant, he would look for Kurt. Zeitzler or Maximilien. Feng. Weix, it won't be William. Cole was a lieutenant with whom he had little contact.

Richie's current position is the Director of Air Force Deployment at the Department of the Army, and in addition to him, there are three other directors, who are Director of Production, Hugo. Captain Speerer, Director of Liaison William. Captain Keitel, First Superintendent Hugo. Junkers.

The two "Hugos" of the Air Force are not simple figures, especially Hugo. Junkers is even more difficult.

Hu Ge. Junkers built Germany's first wind tunnel, and on December 12, 1915, Junkers developed the world's first all-metal, unbracketed, untensioned monoplane open-arm aircraft, the J.1. During the development of the aircraft, static tests were carried out with manpower and sandbags, which also opened a pioneer in the history of world aviation.

William. Not only did Cole bring the documents for the plane order, but he also brought a manager from Fokker with him.

His name is Alexander. Poto's manager was represented by Anthony. Herman. Gerrard. Fauck came, and he just made small talk with Richie for a while, and then got to the point.

Anthony. Herman. Gerrard. Fokker was Dutch, but he didn't really gain the trust of the Second Reich, especially since he was still not trusted even when he produced excellent aircraft for the Second Reich's air force, but he repeatedly refused to do something.

It is actually relatively simple to have such a situation, because when it came to asking Fokker to become a German citizen, Fokker did not agree. Then, he was asked to fly the plane to shoot down the enemy plane, but he was also not agreed. As a result, Germany no longer allowed him to leave the country, and strengthened its control over the Fokker factory.

What an embarrassment that the main person in charge of designing and producing the most advanced and excellent aircraft of the Second German Reich at the moment is not trusted!

The manager of the Fokker Company came over and said only one thing, believing that the Air Force Department's order for the Fokker Company was unreasonable and not in the interests of the army, and asked Richie to take this matter seriously.
