Chapter 633: The Turtle with a Shrunken Head

This is a smart person, of course, Wei Gang's plan is actually equivalent to selling Britain and Russia, after all, now Britain and Russia plus part of the North American army are going all out to attack Prague, and the 600,000 French troops on the Franco-German border contain nearly 400,000 German troops, once the French army withdraws, the Germans will indeed not take the opportunity to attack France again, but they will strengthen the Prague front line to beat the British, Russian and American forces.

But if you don't sell your allies, France will be unlucky, the northern half of France has been completely destroyed, and if the Spaniards break through the defense line in the Pyrenees, then the southern half of France will definitely be broken, and France will become the worst loser in this war, since this is the case, it can only be sold, and it must be sold.

Wei Gang is a smart man, Foch is certainly not stupid than him, after thinking about this, he immediately rushed to Bordeaux by car overnight, anyway, it was only a three-hour drive, after arriving in Bordeaux, he first lobbied to replace Xia Fei as Chief of General Staff Petain, and then found Prime Minister Clemenceau, President Falier, and soon all the French dignitaries in Bordeaux were secretly gathered, and after studying the shape, especially Foch concluded that if he did not do this, then the Pyrenees line would inevitably collapse within half a month, Then the Spaniards will go straight to the cities of the south of France, and then they will be ready to move their capital again.

And after the Chinese army arrives in a big way, it will definitely continue to attack north with Spain as a base, and then the whole of France will inevitably fall, and this year is smart, whoever captures the territory of other countries will not have any face, and then the south of France will definitely be looted, and then the defeat will continue to pay reparations, so the best way is to withdraw everyone and establish an impenetrable line of defense on the border between France and Spain, as for the sea, it is nothing more than a mine blockade, In this way, when the combined forces of the Chinese and Western forces could not break through the Pyrenees defenses, they could force them in other directions, such as the British, where all their armies were trapped on the battlefield and could not retreat.

Then let England be in ruins, and France just need to keep the south from being destroyed.

His lobbying immediately moved Farier and Clemenceau. In fact, there is no point in this war for France now, and everything that can be lost is basically lost, including Paris and the northern territories that have been recovered, there are no illusions about these, the Germans will never let go, let alone the colonies, the French still have this consciousness, so what is the point of fighting? If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of dignity to support, of course, the main thing was that the 30 billion pounds were too scary, and at this time, the French government had the heart to go to Yang Feng to beg for mercy.

After figuring it out. The French General Staff immediately quietly issued an order to the French commanders on the German-French border to retreat in batches and secretly, anyway, they and the British did not have a unified command system, they were all fighting their own people, and the French army was mainly responsible for this section of the front from Luxembourg to Switzerland, loading the main force onto the train and transporting it to the south, leaving the command system there to support the shelf first, and the original attack on the German army was stopped directly, and the German army on the opposite side was naturally not interested in attacking. Including the transportation of troops to the south was also in a secret way.

The French did a very good job at this, and they had withdrawn more than 200,000 before they were discovered by their allies, and the stunned English immediately ran to find Pétain. As a result, Petain also fooled them that they were only forced to make a small move to strengthen the Pyrenees line, and not to open the German-French border.

The British didn't think much of it, and there was nothing strange about them strengthening the Pyrenees line, after all, it was extremely dangerous. And the British also did not know how much they withdrew.

As soon as the British found out, the Germans on the opposite side also discovered that the French were playing empty plans with them, and William immediately realized that the situation was not normal. He knew better than the British how many French troops were on his side, and after confirming that at least a third of the French troops had been withdrawn from the trenches, the guy did not care to consider whether there was a conspiracy, and did not hesitate to withdraw an army group from the German-French border to reinforce the Prague Line.

When they found that their ally was not only not a small movement, but that nearly half of the French army on the front line had disappeared, the British immediately understood that this ally was selling themselves, and the angry British ambassador ran directly to the French Chancellery, sprayed Clemenceau for two hours without grace, and even threatened to stop supplying supplies to the French army.

At this point, the face was torn anyway, Clemenceau threatened the British to dare to stop supplying supplies to France, then France would find Yang Feng alone to surrender, anyway, we were already like this, not only would we surrender at that time, but we would also directly put Spain's more than a million troops over.

Now the British were dumbfounded.

However, they also know that it is necessary for the entire Entente to block the Spaniards in the Pyrenees, otherwise China can go straight to the heart of Europe through Guò Spain, but if this defense line is held, and then all ports are blocked with mines as the French said, then the Chinese will definitely not be able to land from the French flank in a short time, the front cannot break through, and the flank cannot land, which is equivalent to continuing to be blocked outside the main body of the European continent.

So in desperation, the British could only acquiesce in the behavior of the French, and now France played more thoroughly, simply withdrew all the remaining French troops on the German-French border to the south, and 600,000 elites who had been honed by five years of war quickly turned the situation on the battlefield, in the end, the combat effectiveness of the Spanish army was much worse than that of the French, and the elite of the Spanish army were all in the Americas, where their most important interests were, and they had occupied more than twice the numerical advantage before, In addition, the help of the naval battleships and aerial bombers could suppress the French to fight, but when this numerical advantage disappeared and all the forces of the French were concentrated on the southern front, the Spaniards could not hold on.

The French concentrated the forces of three armies in Perpignan to launch a counteroffensive, and the Spaniards, who were suddenly attacked so fiercely, retreated again and again and were actually driven to Barcelona, in order to avoid Barcelona being captured by the French army, the Spaniards had to draw reinforcements from the Bayonne front, so that Foch seized the opportunity to concentrate his forces to launch a counteroffensive, and the rain and snow for several days limited the bombing of carrier-based aircraft, and the Spaniards who were at a loss were defeated by the French army again, and even had to retreat all the way to Pamplona, The French occupied this last section of the Pyrenees in Spain and then completely blocked the Spanish road out of the mountains.

The French army that attacked Barcelona immediately retreated suddenly, and they were originally playing to attack the east and west, mobilizing the Spaniards to reinforce Foch and create the conditions for Foch, so that the front on the Franco-Spanish border forced into Spain, and the Spaniards also lost the passage out of the mountain, and even the French advance approached Bilbao, this stretching mountainous jungle became the best barrier in France.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a small loss, and strategically our goal has been achieved, don't we just want the French to come back?" Emperor Yang said indifferently to the Spanish ambassador to China, the latter came to ask for help, Alfonso XIII was afraid that the Entente would take beating him as the main goal, after all, keeping Spain was also a great scourge for the Entente, everyone understood that Spain would be the base for China's in-depth attack on Europe in the future, and if Spain could be solved, the Chinese fleet would not be able to launch a landing operation even if it arrived.

The landing operation of tens of thousands of kilometers is a completely fanciful thing, even with the strength of the Chinese, it is impossible to do this, but with Spain as an forward base, it is different, whether it is landing in Italy or Britain is a very simple matter.

In fact, the British did want to do this, but the French didn't do it, they only had a million army in total, and then they went to Spain to fight, then I am afraid that even if they could destroy Spain, they would almost die.

"Please rest assured that your Emperor and Your Excellency the Prime Minister will never happen, and I will not allow such a thing to happen, if the French army dares to attack your country in depth, then I will order the Jingzhi formation to speed up to the north, they are now only 6,000 kilometers away from Spain, and the speed will be there in a few days, at that time, the four aircraft carriers will be concentrated, as long as the French dare to attack Barcelona, then the four hundred carriers on these four aircraft carriers will turn all their major cities in the south into ruins." Yang Feng viciously comforted the Spanish ambassador.

In fact, he is not worried about this kind of thing at all, the intention of the French to abandon the Franco-German border defense has been revealed, to put it bluntly, they are no longer ready to take care of the affairs of the entire Entente bloc, they only need to keep their hometown in the future, for this kind of rational behavior, Emperor Yang is very willing to encourage it, so he is very satisfied with the current situation in the Pyrenees, and he is ready for the French not to continue to attack south, and he will no longer let the Spaniards attack north, everyone plays tacitly, Then it would be nice to see the bloody battle between Britain and Russia and Germany in the north.

And the facts proved that he was completely right, after forcing the Spaniards out of the Pyrenees, the French army immediately stopped moving forward, but built a series of fortifications on the spot, covered by this high mountain forest twenty or thirty kilometers wide, and greatly reduced the threat to them, whether it was naval artillery at sea or bombers overhead. While building the fortifications, the French also took advantage of the night to lay mines outside all the ports along their coast, Nantes, Bordeaux, Brest... In short, all the ports that can support large-scale operations are sealed by mines themselves, and if they can't do it, they simply sink ships, including those useless old warships, which are dragged out and scuttled into the channel, completely assing to be isolated from the world.
