"Mobility" is too important for the army, and if the German army has enough mobility, even if it is like the current Lanfang army, Germany will have at least two chances to conquer Paris in the last world war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The deduction carried out by the Lanfang General Staff is to calculate the mobility of the German army according to the mobility of the Lanfang army, and then get the corresponding answer.

Don't think this is impossible, in fact, many staff officers believe that by the next world war, the mobility of the German army will surpass the current Lanfang army and reach a higher level, although Foch is reluctant to admit it, but this is the case, from an industrial point of view, Germany has more potential than France, as long as Germany has the opportunity to rise again, then the current Wilhelm III will not be as reckless as Wilhelm II.

In fact, after crossing the German-French border, it is basically a flat river to Paris, which is very suitable for the use of armored forces, according to the results of the deduction of the Lanfang General Staff, if Germany and France go to war, Germany will capture Paris within 48 hours, so Foch's urgent mood is really understandable.

When Foch told Pierre about the results, Pierre was so stunned that he didn't feel the brandy on his trousers.

"Do you still have the confidence to hit Berlin?" Foch was so heartbroken that he wanted to fly back to France right now, and put Alexander Millerand in his ear and tell him what to do.

"No, I'm not sure—" Pierre hadn't thought of the possibility, but after a moment of thought, Pierre felt a visceral horror.

Pierre himself is also an excellent staff officer, when Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre first met, Pierre came to Qin Zhiyuan's side to engage in staff work, this kind of simple deduction, you don't need to go to the tactics room, you can understand the seriousness of the matter with a little sketch in your mind.

"So what should we do? A non-aggression pact with the Germans? Pierre was already in a mess, and wiped his head with the towel handed over by Qin Zhiyuan.

God, it was Qin Zhiyuan who asked Pierre to wipe his pants.

"What kind of treaty would be useful? The League of Nations is always recognized by the whole world, right? Look at what the decision of the League of Nations counts? If the time comes, no matter how many treaties are signed, they will be a piece of waste paper, and you will not be able to stop the Germans from piling them up on the border. Foch was never a man of the rules, and he had no hope of the treaty's binding force.

"I'll be ready for war when I get back." Pierre slowly calmed down and prepared to go shopping with the Germans.

"It's useless, look at the current Wehrmacht, look at the current Foreign Legion, can they still fight? If you can still fight, why would you hire an army from Lanfang? "Foch still hates iron and steel.

Less than three years have passed since the world war, France's armaments are close to being abolished, experienced soldiers have retired, a large number of generals have left the ranks of the army, there is not one in ten million lions in the world war, and even the Foreign Legion is composed of a group of recruits, such an army has no combat effectiveness, even if they are given the most advanced weapons, it is useless, at least not as good as those Germans who are serving in the Lanfang army.

"So what do you think we should do? Don't you make any resistance and surrender directly? Pierre was also a little unhappy with Foch's attitude.

The governor's career still made Pierre improve a lot, at least now Pierre dares to express his opinion in front of Foch, which is a big progress, you must know that Pierre in front of Foch in the past only made promises, and never had the courage to express his opinion.

"Change the attitude towards Germany, so that the Germans and the French are no longer hostile to each other, if there is hatred between us, it is also between the previous generation, and this hatred should not be continued, at least our next generation will not have to pay for it." Foch didn't care about Pierre's attitude and gave his opinion.

Perhaps Pierre's attitude was exactly what Foch wanted, a French president who only knew what to do?

It's desperate to think about.

"It's hard, although it looks like we've regained what we lost in the Franco-Prussian War, but in fact the biggest damage caused to us by the world war is the courage to continue fighting, and we still have German territory, which makes it hard for the Germans not to hate us." Pierre was also embarrassed that the hatred between Germany and France was not so easy to dissolve, otherwise the hatred would not have continued to this day.

Under the terms of the Treaty of Paris, France occupied part of German territory, which would be subject to a later referendum to determine the final ownership of those territories. As the victorious country of the world war, France tried to dismember Germany, but it did not succeed, and now to say how much the French hate the Germans, it is not necessarily, the question is whether the Germans will hate the French, think about the attitude of the French towards the Germans after the Franco-Prussian War, you can think of how the Germans are now.

"You don't need to solve this problem, if you become president of France, it should be William III's job." Foch seemed to be convinced that Pierre would be elected.

"William III, he hasn't even secured the throne yet-" Pierre didn't think much of William III.

During Qin Zhiyuan's visit to Germany, the Wehrmacht rebelled, which made Wilhelm III an international laughing stock. Pierre, of course, was happy to see William III's jokes, even a little disregard for the facts.

"William III, even if the throne is unstable, is at least much better than the pig's head of Alexander Millerand." At the mention of Millerand, Foch immediately scolded.

Foch had a reason to hate Alexander Millerand, and after France and Lafon dissolved their alliance, there were voices in France that blamed Foch, just because Julie was married to Qin Zhiyuan, and Foch is now settled in Lanfang, which made Foch very annoyed.

Of course, these voices did not cause much trouble, and Foch was still very prestigious among the French, and the Daily News published only one editorial, and the MPs who openly criticized Foch in Parliament were forced to resign.

"Qin, what do you think about this problem?" Pierre finally remembered Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan, who has been a transparent person for a long time, has already wandered out of the world, and he has to ask Pierre again, Qin Zhiyuan understands the question that Pierre asked.

"I can only say that Germany is in a better position than you expected, the British had contact with the Germans long before the British and us and the Americans agreed, and now the money flowing into Germany from Britain has exceeded five billion gold marks, and even more from the United States, so we have reason to believe that Germany will not sink forever, so if France continues to be hostile to Germany, then once the Germans re-emerge, France will certainly be Germany's worst enemy." Qin Zhiyuan told the truth, and didn't look at Pierre's increasingly ugly expression at all.

"These--" Pierre immediately burst into foul language.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't care, pouted and continued: "If you want to ease the contradiction with Germany, then I can match the gap from the middle, the problem is - you don't have the right to decide now-"

Qin Zhiyuan is right, even if Pierre becomes the speaker of the Senate, Pierre has no right to decide, France is an elected government after all, as long as the majority of the people do not approve, the French government will not be able to make a decision to reconcile with Germany.

From this point of view, a constitutional monarchy is indeed beneficial, at least it is normal for the king to be a little arbitrary.

"I'll do my best when I get back to France—" Pierre didn't say much, which meant that Pierre didn't have much confidence either.

"Then you have to be prepared, the resistance must be extraordinary." Qin Zhiyuan is not very optimistic.

Through the "Daily News", Qin Zhiyuan has done several surveys, most French people do not want to have good relations with Germany, when asked what to do if they encounter another French invasion, many French people choose to resolutely fight the Germans back, but when asked if you are willing to fight for the country, only less than one percent of the respondents are willing to go to Wei.

Less than one percent!

This is a very dangerous number, considering the number of soldiers of appropriate age, if the situation does not change, by the time Germany organizes the war again, France will probably only be able to organize less than 500,000 troops, which is simply a drop in the bucket, considering that in the last world war, the Germans organized more than 5 million troops.

"Even if the result is a failure, there are always things to do." Undeterred, Pierre is ready to take on the challenge.

"Alright then, I'll cooperate with you, and if you need my help, you're welcome." Qin Zhiyuan is still always supportive, no matter what Pierre wants to do, Qin Zhiyuan will not change his attitude.

"Thank you very much—" Pierre stretched out his hand to Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan was not polite, and held the friendship handed by Pierre tightly.

After talking about Germany's question, Pierre finally mentioned the purpose of this trip to Lanfang, the Syrians did not take advantage of the war against the Iraqis, Alexander Millerand then remembered the combat effectiveness of the Lanfang Foreign Legion, Pierre came to Lanfang this time, at the request of Alexander Millerand, to discuss with Qin Zhiyuan, and hire an army from Lanfang to enter Syria to fight the Iraqis.

"Pierre, I have to say, you've got a big problem for me." Qin Zhiyuan immediately worried.

To tell the truth, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to wade into this pool of troubled waters, Qin Zhiyuan knows that the Syrians can't beat the Iraqis, Gao Hongshi will submit the battle report on the Syrian-Iraqi border to Qin Zhiyuan every day, the current Iraqi army already has the background of the fraternal alliance, if Lan Fang sends another army, it will be good-looking, do you want Lan Fang people to fight Lan Fang people?

But if you refuse directly, it's not good, Pierre has already come, and if there is no result at all, it is estimated that Pierre will not be able to give money to Millerand.
