Since so many high-ranking officers have arrived, they will definitely sit down and rub together after the exercise to deepen and deepen their feelings for each other.

Chef Wang's skills are still good, even potatoes and cabbage can give you a whole table of tricks.

But it is clear that Foch and Pershing are not focusing on the dishes, but on Liu Zizheng and Chen Kang fitness.

For these two colonels who have already shown outstanding ability, but have not been known before, everyone here is very interested.

In the exercise just now, because Chen Kangjian's tanks were all destroyed, Pierre decided that the two sides were tied. The reason why it was a tie was because Chen Kangjian did not seize the position, and all the defensive measures on Liu Zizheng's position had been basically destroyed, as long as Chen Kangjian launched another attack, Liu Zizheng would definitely not be able to hold it.

Victory or defeat is not important, the important thing is that everyone present witnessed a wonderful offensive and defensive battle, whether it was Chen Kangjian's courage or Liu Zizheng's tenacity, they all left a deep impression on the generals.

As for the cunning and shamelessness of the two sides when they fought each other, no one cared about that.

They are all famous generals in the army who have been fighting for half their lives, and they have all seen how shameless they are fighting, compared to the life-and-death struggle in a desperate situation, Chen Kangjian and Liu Zizheng are already personable.

Relatively speaking, the more traditional Foch was more interested in Liu Zizheng, and the two chatted very hotly.

"That trap of yours is well dug and looks a bit of a doorway, I don't really understand it." Foch asked shamelessly.

Foch, who became the chief of the general staff of the French army, has been promoted to a first-class general, and he can really be regarded as a shameless question in the face of Liu Zizheng, who wears the rank of colonel.

"That's a bit of a trick, you know, soldiers rush on the battlefield, every time they find the next foothold, and then they rush out of the hideout......" Liu Zizheng explained in detail.

Liu Zizheng's theories all come from Qin Zhiyuan, and Qin Zhiyuan's theories come from the 21st century. Although Qin Zhiyuan did not graduate from a military professional college, even if it was just the fragmented information he got in daily life, if he sorted it out a little, it was extremely advanced in this era.

It is said that half a step ahead is a genius, and a step ahead is a madman, but some people are exceptions. For example, Sun Wu, he wrote "The Art of War" in the era he belonged to, and countless people have regarded it as the supreme treasure book until the 21st century, so how many steps ahead should he be in the era to which he belongs?

"Wait, why find your next place to stay?" Foch interrupted Liu Zizheng.

Look, the French tactical thinking of individual soldiers during the First World War was so backward. Even a general like Foch, his thinking is still stuck in the stage of charging in formation.

Perhaps Foch was already aware, but the years of conquest and complicated affairs did not give Foch time to stop and think seriously about this problem, maybe after the war Foch could find a solution, but not now.

"When the heavy machine guns appeared, we could no longer let the soldiers line up in a neat line to consume the enemy's bullets, and we had to replace the dense formation with a skirmish line, or a three-three ......formation," Liu Zizheng said happily, grabbed a handful of peanuts from the plate, and began to demonstrate on the table.

No one blames Liu Zizheng for this faux pas, because everyone's attention is here, including Pershing, who had a good conversation with Chen Kangjian just now. This is not easy, because Pershing's nickname is "Jack the Terrible", the origin of this nickname is related to Pershing's character, Pershing's requirements for military appearance and discipline are almost unbearable, he is a perfectionist, always with a straight waist, a shaved clothing, shiny riding boots, military etiquette, and meticulous manners.

It was a Western-style restaurant, and everyone used the kind of long table that could accommodate one or twenty people at the same time, and when the generals were attracted by Liu Zizheng's explanation, Qin Zhiyuan and Clemenceau had a good conversation at the other end of the table.

"Qin, if you were asked to attack Shemandaidam, what method would you use?" After visiting the exercise for a day today, Clemenceau's spirit was still very full, and he was talking to Qin Zhiyuan while stuffing something into his mouth.

This kind of behavior is actually very impolite, but Clemenceau doesn't care, and Qin Zhiyuan can barely accept it. For the convenience of his previous work, Qin Zhiyuan received professional training in etiquette a long time ago, of course, emphasizing that etiquette is also a matter of looking at people, if he had dinner with Benedict XV, Qin Zhiyuan would be courteous and thoughtful, but with Clemenceau, it was not necessary.

"If I could, I didn't want to fight, it's not a good idea to send troops to attack the enemy who is in good array, at this time you have to make good use of the mobility of the tank troops, only stupid people will fight hard." Qin Zhiyuan replied casually.

"There are some things you can't escape, you can only face them bravely. Shermandedam is in front of Paris, the Germans are attacking in a position we have to defend and we have no other choice. Clemenceau disagreed.

Hindenburg, the commander of the German army who formulated the strategy, may not have read "The Art of War", but he also knew the truth of "attacking it must be saved", and the position chosen by Hindenburg was the position that the French had to defend.

Although it seems that the French are attacking and the Germans are defending, it is not. The battlefield was on French soil, and if the French did not drive the Germans out of French territory, then it would be a disgrace to the French, so the Germans maintained a defensive position on French soil, which was offensive in itself.

"If I had to fight, I think I'd take a more flexible approach to warfare, such as seducing the Germans out of their fortified positions and then annihilating them on the vast plains as far as the pan could see." Qin Zhiyuan still didn't want to storm the Hindenburg defensive line, just like in today's exercise, a frontal assault could only break the blood.

"What if they don't come out?" Clemenceau's eyes were blazing, and Qin Zhiyuan was not allowed to avoid the question.

"Then hold on." Qin Zhiyuan was brief.

"Shermandedam is the territory of France, as long as it is occupied by the Germans for one day, the great France will lose face, all the French hope that we can drive the Germans out of the territory of France as soon as possible, and since we enjoy the offerings of the people, then we must fight for the people." Clemenceau raised the tone.

Half of Clemenceau's words are true, and the reason why he says half is because Qin Zhiyuan knows Clemenceau's temperament, Clemenceau is the kind of standard politician, and the habit of saying one thing and doing another has penetrated into his bones, and Qin Zhiyuan doesn't believe everything he says. As for the other half, it comes from the romantic and liberal nature of the French, and before Clemenceau came to power, Clemenceau was also like that.

"The war has been going on for three years now, and although we are very difficult, we finally have the support of the whole world, and compared to us, the Germans are even more difficult. In fact, all the arguments so far that a quick solution can be made have proven to be utopian, and because of the losses caused by this war, all voices of 'peace without territory and reparations' should be completely eliminated. Qin Zhiyuan was resolute.

"That's right! That's it! You're the same as I thought! Clemenceau expressed his approval in three successive exclamations.
