The last days of 1937 passed with the rumbling of the French Civil War, and in 1938 came with the sound of artillery.

Although the French army shouted after Christina's death to console the souls of the First Consul with the extermination of the rebels, the entire front was at a stalemate after the attack was of limited effect.

The French government began to wrestle with each other over the power vacuum left by Christina's death, and there was no time to care about the war, but to order the commanders of the army to advance - no general would fight hard at this time, and they were all waiting for the forces to decide the victory.

On the other hand, the French Revolutionary Army was originally hasty, and many units did not even have a fully established command structure, relying on the personal prestige of the various leaders in the army to unite the troops. Therefore, the revolutionary army needed time to reorganize its troops, and it also needed time to receive and adapt to the weapons provided by Germany, so there was no way to launch an offensive on its own initiative.

In this way, the battle line was stabilized, and both the government army and the revolutionary army began to dig trenches on the front line as they had done in the last war.

**

"If this continues, the front line will become a meat grinder for trench warfare like the last war." Viola put down the photo in her hand, the photo showed the trench that had begun to take shape, and at first glance I thought it was a historical photo of the last war, but the fig leaves on the soldiers' uniforms indicated that it was the latest photo.

The revolutionary army issued new uniforms to its soldiers, and the military insignia on the uniforms was the traditional French military insignia with a fig leaf on it, which did not look like an ordinary errand. And the military flag of the revolutionary army is also based on the traditional French tricolor flag with fig leaves, so Lin Youde always wants to complain, can't you find a reliable designer to redesign a set of military emblems and flags?

But he didn't bother to point fingers at others too much for this kind of trivial matter.

Lin Youde picked up the photo thrown by Viola, glanced at the first one, and exclaimed: "This gun position is well repaired, it doesn't look like it was repaired at all." ”

"Of course, after all, the last war lasted for four years, and there were engineers in the French army. As for artillery, there is information that they are dismantling the artillery on the Maginot Line and transferring it to the Western Front to be used against government forces. Now, if we were to invade France, we would not have to go through the Ardennes Forest at all, and we would just swagger past the Maginot Line, which had already existed in name only. ”

Hearing Viola say this, Lin Youde couldn't help but smile on his face. In the last time and space, the mustache lured the main force of the British and French forces to the north, and it was Ardennes who broke through the back road of the main force of the British and French forces, forced the main force of the British and French forces away, and then made a big bend to outflank the Maginot Line. Now it is better to do it yourself, without spending a single soldier, relying on the theory put forward by himself and the long-term propaganda war, and thus abolishing the Maginot Line.

The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good.

At this moment, Lin Youde felt a sense of intellectual superiority from the bottom of his heart.

"Now, Lin, shouldn't we teach the French how to conduct armored assault warfare?" Viola propped her hands on the table and looked at Lin Youde, "According to the current trend, it is estimated that the French civil war will not be finished for a while and a half, and I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night." ”

"If you can't finish the fight, you can't finish the fight," Lin Youde looked indifferent, "As long as the British don't know how to enter the war, the French can let them fight for as long as they want, and the longer we fight, the safer our rear will be." ”

"And what if the British are openly entering the war?" Viola asked worriedly.

Lin Youde pursed his lips, sighed and said: "If the British are clearly participating in the war, then we can only enter the war in the name of preventing Britain from interfering in the internal affairs of France." However, in my opinion, in the current situation, Britain will not rush into the war. ”

"Why do you think so? Isn't that what you know about Isabella? Even if Isabella didn't want to go to war, she couldn't sway the intentions of the whole of Britain, after all, she wasn't a dictator like Iron Queen. ”

"It's one thing to know Isabella, and on the other hand, I don't think the gentlemen of England will risk the Empire's army until they figure out what kind of technology we've mastered in magic armor." Lin Youde said as he put down the photo of the French front line in his hand, picked up the model of the chariot on the table, and said to Viola while fiddling with it, "In addition, even if we start to provide the revolutionary army with chariots now to help them form armored units, it will take us six to seven months to build a force that can be put into actual combat." By the time this unit entered the war, 1938 was almost over. If Britain were going to go to war, it would probably have already entered the war. ”

Viola thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right." And the armored forces that were thrown directly into the German army or the international columns, although they could make an immediate breakthrough, would be difficult to explain. ”

"If the French government is in the dark and is carrying out a massacre somewhere, we can send an international column under the pretext of preventing a humanitarian catastrophe." Lin Youde shrugged, "But this time the target is an old European country, even if we move out of this excuse, there are many people in the world who will not admit it." At the end of the day, the international community will still think that we have invaded France, and then see the French Revolutionary Army as our servant army, our internal response. Then the French government had the excuse to describe both the revolutionary army and the French general branch leading the revolutionary army as traitors, and then began to incite patriotism. It's troublesome. ”

"In other words, we can only expect the supernormal appearance of the revolutionary army......"

"No," Lin Youde put his hands on the table and smiled wickedly at Viola, "Actually, I sent a manual to General Andrew, who is now the commander of the Revolutionary Army, and I specifically explained to him my - well, you know, it was actually the Infantry Combat Code that I brought from another plane. ”

"Will it work?" Viola frowned and looked at Lin Youde.

"The previous General Andrew had organized the retreating troops in an orderly manner when facing the enemy army covered by the gods, and I think he should have quite a good military talent."

"Maybe he's just better at organizing retreats." Viola still looked worried.

Lin Youde smiled and said: "I have just said that we need to worry about the French civil war only if Britain enters the war, and now instead of caring about the situation on the battlefield, it is better to think about how to stabilize Britain through diplomatic means." As for whether General Andrew can fight a beautiful breakthrough on the battlefield after he gets the infantry combat guidelines and future strategic ideas I gave him, it is not up to us. ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Viola responded before Lin Youde could react: "Come in." ”

The confidential staff officer entered the room with a telegram: "Report, Miss Chihiro is calling from the Dutch capital. ”

"Oh?" Lin Youde frowned slightly, the fox started a few days ago to visit the Low Countries tour, the purpose is to show the Low Countries the performance of Germany's new magic armor, according to the agreement between her and Lin Youde before her departure, ten o'clock every night is the time for her to make a regular report.

Lin Youde looked up at the clock, not to mention ten o'clock in the evening, it was not even five o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, Viola had already received the telegram, she glanced at the contents on it, and immediately threw the telegram in front of Lin Youde with an angry expression.

Lin Youde also smiled when he looked at the telegram.

The fox telegram read: "I sue you, Wilhelmina, an old woman, who is only one-tenth as beautiful as me, so you should not lust for her again." ”

Lin Youde couldn't help but smack his lips.

He intuitively knew that this telegram was meant to mean literally, but at this time, the intelligence agencies of Britain and other countries were probably busy guessing what kind of information this telegram contained.

"Looks like the foxes are having a lot of fun in the Netherlands." Viola shrugged, "Let's hope she can convince Queen Wilhelmina to join us." ”

"Panhumanism in the Netherlands is also more widespread, and it is only because the Dutch economy is still good that it has not made waves. However, this does not mean that the Netherlands is free of social problems and contradictions. ”

The Netherlands on this plane was a kingdom from the beginning, and the form of the Dutch Revolution was very different from that of another plane. Therefore, the Netherlands at this time, like Russia before the Iron Queen's reform, was an incomplete capitalist society with a considerable number of feudal elements remaining.

"I think Her Majesty Queen Wilhelmina would be willing to come and give new life to the Netherlands."

Lin Youde turned to the globe in the corner, which was not as large as the one in his Potsdam base camp and not as lavishly decorated as the one in the Potsdam base camp, but none of this affected its use.

"Then there is Denmark, the queen of Denmark is just in the prime of her life, well......" Lin Youde swallowed back the sentence "I can let her see my big roots".

Viola looked at Lin Youde with a look of disdain.

"Representatives from the Nordic countries also come to the Netherlands to see the fox demonstration, but that's just a formality. The Nordic countries have long been determined to join the panhumanist camp. ”

In this time and space, it is the norm for countries that do not have their own gods to hold the thighs of countries with gods. The Nordic countries, except for Norway, which is guarded by forest fairies, originally belonged to the protectorate of Germany, but Germany knelt down in the last war, so it turned to seek joint asylum from the Entente, but this asylum is only nominal at all, Russia has been conducting frequent exercises on the Finnish border since a few years ago, which has made the Nordic countries very nervous.

The reason why they did not seek refuge in Germany was because they felt that Germany itself could not be protected by crossing the river. But now the situation is different.

"Once the alliance agreement with the Nordic countries is signed, we will get the iron ore of Norway and the magic industry of Sweden."

This time and space Sweden is the hometown of famous craftsmen, but it also corresponds to the original time and space Sweden that built a generation of famous aircraft JAS39 Gripen.

Lin Youde triumphantly tapped his fingers on the tabletop and continued to say to Viola: "By that time, most of the whole of Europe, except for the Russian-occupied part and France, will fall into our hands. ”

Yes, it's 1938, and Lin Youde is about to complete another map of the Third Reich that the mustache of time and space completed only in 1940. In terms of the efficiency of dyeing the map, Lin Youde is much more clever than the mustache - of course, he also has more plug-ins than the mustache......
