The second more

Another futile charge, the defeated Germans returned in vain. In several previous battles they had captured the first and even the second line of French trench defense. However, they tragically discovered that neither the machine guns nor the artillery could effectively support them, and the opposing machine guns could be easily set up in the trenches, while their bulky Gatling could only shoot without cover. often became a target for the French rate guns.

"This is the Maginot Line of the French!"

"A field that will never be broken through!"

The French top brass gave a firm response, satirizing the futility of everything that Germany was doing on the border!

They displayed piles of corpses in front of the German troops and raised their middle fingers at them from a distance of several hundred meters.

The German officers were surprised to see that the morale of France, far from weakening as the war progressed, grew stronger. Just as after the baptism of war, it began to slowly become strong and mature, and the French operational command also changed the previous outdated bureaucratic style, and the war situation did not need to go through heavy audits, but was directly handed over to the French General Staff, and the corresponding instructions were given as quickly as possible.

As the war progressed, the French defensive front became more and more mature, and no matter how much the German soldiers charged, they could not break through the line at all.

Moltke also tried to bypass the impregnable French line by detour, but the French had expected this, and in every way they made a detour, they were either blocked by the trenches or by the soldiers in charge of the flank encirclement.

It was an impenetrable line of defense, and they were impregnable and coordinated with each other, and with the terrible killing power of the Maxim machine guns, more and more German soldiers fell in front of the position, and they could only watch their comrades die. Bidenfeldt was the most anxious, because he was in charge of breaking through the French lines, which was thought to be an easy task, and the weakness of the French in international politics encouraged the blindness of the German army, so that they continued to follow the old routine and attack France.

However, the joy of their victory in the previous battle quickly turned to nothing.

Bidianfeldt could only use his life to keep filling until he broke through the defense line after paying a terrible price.

"We have been vigilant about the number of French troops before, but we didn't expect them to put us together on the other side!"

At this time, Bidianfeldt felt very angry, the previous intelligence mistakes had led to the current difficult situation, and they could not even take a step forward.

Now the German top brass fighting on the front line hopes that Bismarck will change his will and change the capture of a large part of northern France to only occupy Alsace and Lorraine, so that the pressure on the German army will be much lower, because at this time the Germans have already controlled the northern region, as long as they do not retreat, who dares to force themselves to retreat.

And what angered Bithenfeldt the most were the troops sent by the Russians, who claimed that they had not received orders from their superiors in St. Petersburg and that they would not attack at will. Only as a politically threatening force, helping the German army to advance.

"What's the use of this bunch of garbage!"

Originally, Bidianfeldt had hoped that the European steamrollers would be able to crush the French, but now it seems that the grey cattle are even more unreliable than the French. They are like a bunch of villains ready to steal the fruits of victory.

However, Bismarck, who was far away in Berlin, was already restless at this time, because none of the information that was constantly being transmitted to him from the front was good news.

The German offensive was stopped, their comeback paid a terrible price, and now Germany was faced with a very important question of whether the war should continue.

This war against France was originally Bismarck's obstinate obsession.

"Even if we win, it will be a Pyrrhesque victory, which is too far from what was envisioned at the beginning."

At this time, a month has passed since the outbreak of the war, and King Wilhelm seems to have lost his previous patience and began to constantly urge the General Staff to advance, but there is no turning back, even if the front line is now bad, Bismarck can only say that everything is under control.

"We laughed at Alexander II and tried to finish the war in a few weeks, but now it seems like nothing more than a dream."

Bismarck sighed and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that it would eventually develop into such a situation." Didn't the part assure us that it was just a very simple attack? ”

Ron shook his head in the same way, and he had heard the rumors of the intelligence department, so he simply explained to Bismarck honestly, "It's because of a serious mistake in our intelligence." We don't know why, immediately after the start of the war, the French army multiplied several times, and in terms of numbers and weapons, the French army was in an advantageous position. Moreover, they had already been deployed along the border, and it seemed that Berlin would attack them early on. ”

Bismarck held his chin and said, "Go on." ”

"Doesn't the Prime Minister think it's strange? Our every move looks like it was being calculated by the French, who even used Russia to achieve their own political goals. I think that at first Prime Minister Bismarck did not even think about declaring war, but he saw that his allies benefited from the Balkans, but he did not have any money, so he attacked France at the instigation of Alexander II. But no matter how I look at it, I think this script was arranged in Paris early in the morning. ”

After Ron finished speaking, he also glanced at the other party.

"There are some things I shouldn't ask, but I also want to warn you, Chancellor Bismarck. The battle was not as simple as we thought, when the German top brass thought they were not pawns, but in fact they were pawns in the hands of others. ”

Bismarck could hear Ron's voice, but he couldn't put it on his mind. Otherwise, his political career would have ended there.

"It would be best if it was possible to take advantage of the present and exit the war in a decent way. But even if we don't do it, sooner or later the British will. Then I was afraid that everything in Berlin would come to naught, including everything we have now. ”

Ron patted Bismarck on the shoulder and said to him who was silent, "Sometimes admitting mistakes ......"

"What mistake do I admit?"

Bismarck stood up suddenly, staring straight at Ron, questioning the other party word by word, and the anger he had suppressed for more than a month finally exploded today.

"Admit that the great iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck fell into the full set of Paris? When I tell me how to convince the people of my policies, my political opponents will probably rejoice, because the great Bismarck has finally been played hard by his enemy Paris! And he himself is still at the mercy of others like a fool? ”

"I didn't mean it that way......"

Ron waved his hand helplessly, he knew that the current Prime Minister would not listen to anything.

Bismarck almost smashed everything on his desk, and he roared, "As long as I win this war, all suspicion and malicious slander against myself will disappear!" There is no result of victory, even if you persist a hundred times, you are wrong! ”
