Vienna had acceded to Kuster's request, and Franz told him the good news.

This always made him breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was ready to complete his plan.

Long before the deliberations, he had deployed his forces outside Brittany. However, the time was too short, the troops had just arrived, and they had not yet recovered, and the decision to attack could only be delayed for a few hours.

But that didn't stop him from walking around the command room while having a few happy words with the people around him.

Kuster kept his eyes on the map, stared at it for a few seconds, and asked Nelson, who was beside him:

"Are you sure that the people to the south can't cross the Loire?"

"What do you think? They couldn't even penetrate the French army in Orleans. ”

Nelson's tone was as acerbic as ever.

"Hmm...... All right. ”

Kuster was a little decadent, and after a few moments of silence, he turned his attention back to the map.

But he was upset at this time, and he didn't have any calm skills. No matter how good the news from the Empire is, it is no more important than his four besieged divisions.

Although he had no intention of rescuing, he was not willing to give up an army of nearly 70,000 men in vain, who could have thrown themselves into battle in Brittany, but now they had ended up in this state because their stupid friendly troops to the south could not cross the Loire.

In this way, he had less than five divisions on hand, and he had lost nearly half of them.

Fortunately, Germany brought him another whole army, but it was still on its way, perhaps just past Belgium at this time.

Far from quenching his thirst, Kuster wanted to attack, but found that his forces were not as large as those on the other side, which made him extremely annoyed.

He could not waste time in vain to consume the lives of the besieged army, so he had to launch an attack to relieve the pressure on the rest of the area.

Kus lit a cigarette to soothe the restlessness, met with the officers, and began to work on the plan.

The white smoke from the cigarette made him feel comfortable, and he looked at it on the map.

The demarcation between them and the French army in Brest was quite clear. To the north, the Lange River divided the German-French occupation zone.

To the south, there are fortified fortresses on both sides of the Loire.

The two sides are far apart, but the central goal is Brittany.

To the north, the Germans will try their best to take the important city of Rennes on the peninsula, and then attack Brest, completely cutting off communication between Britain and France in the English Channel.

The task of the Germans in the south was more complicated: on the one hand, they needed to seize Nantes, located on the north bank of the Loire, to isolate the peninsula; On the other hand, they had to be prepared for a French counterattack on the south bank at any time, and they also had to prepare for a later attack on Aquitaine.

Kuster was no longer planning to attack Paris, not only him, but even the Germans thought so.

The Americans on the other side of the ocean have already stepped into the war with half a foot, and they are still only fighting for the interests of the Suez Canal, without all their troops, but even a mentally ill person can know that it will soon be fully involved in the war.

The same is true of the French, whose confused attitude towards war has been swept away and replaced by endless confidence and even prepared for a government-in-exile.

The capture of Paris before the surrender of France was likely to be achieved by the Allies, but at great cost.

So they relaxed their attack on Paris, not seeking to take it, but only to cut off contact with the outside world.

Although the disgruntled Kaiser had been harassing the General Staff, no one cared anymore, and this was a foregone conclusion.

Couste had long thought so, and he was sure that the Loire was the last fortified wall in France, and he quickly made a plan.

The capture of Rennes could be postponed, and the first priority was to encircle the peninsula and capture Brest.

The troops on the southern front were to attack westward, taking control of Nantes and cutting off the peninsula from the Loire River.

The troops of the Northern Front crossed the banks of the Ranks and attacked Brest.

He drew a line on the map, which was the border of the Franco-German zone.

Just as he wanted to draw a few more strokes, Kuster suddenly thought of something, turned around, and said to Nelson:

"I want you to organize a group of death squads immediately, on every front! I'm of great use. ”

"Hmm."

After a simple yes, Kuster drew two more arrows.

One stretches from Fugers to Brest and the other jumps from Messange to Nantes.

Both lines of attack had their own obstacles, and the Ranker River to the north, although short enough to bypass, was still able to cause some trouble for the attackers.

To the south is Eder on both sides, much longer than the Ranker River, and difficult to cross.

This is where the death squads prepared by Custer are coming, and they will surprise the other side of the river under the cover of artillery fire, and blow up the fort almost before the army can advance.

And he wants to spread a little bit on the Loire River in the south, and its role is to infiltrate it, and establish one base after another in the enemy's rear, and fight guerrilla attacks in the rear.

However, this concept of guerrilla warfare is different from ordinary guerrilla warfare, which requires the support of the people, and this guerrilla war is to plunder the people, reduce the support of the French people for the war, and then hit the stability of the French government.

However, this is also difficult to achieve, because without the support of the masses, it is difficult for these death squad guerrillas to gain a foothold behind enemy lines.

It is feasible to grab food, but instead of gaining benefits, it will bring about a crisis.

Every time the guerrillas grab food, it means that the guerrillas have to change points, and if they grab too much, the civilians may not have as much food in their hands as the guerrillas.

The Germans who crossed the Loire were burdened with heavy responsibilities and great risks, but the army would give them the most advanced weapons and radios.

They can even carry some towed rocket launchers, but only if they do not fall into the hands of the enemy.

"I'm going to send all the death squads out tonight. Can it be done? Kuster snapped as he smoked.

"If I can't do that, I'll go to Siberia to dig potatoes."

"Okay, let's dismiss."

Kuster turned to the officers and said:

"We're going to attack at eight o'clock the next morning, and I hope you're ready."
