Having set down the telegram, Marshal Patrice McMahon sighed deeply. He looked up at the window and, with his back to everyone, said, "We must restore normal supply to the troops, we can't let the soldiers go hungry no matter what."
"Marshal, our food supplies are low, and domestic supply can't keep up. If we don't ration..."
Before the middle-aged officer could finish, McMahon interrupted, "Don't worry, the domestic issue with supplies has been resolved. The government has confiscated the grain from hoarders, so we no longer have a shortage."
Upon hearing this news, everyone showed a smile that had been absent for a long time. There was no help for it, as the recent days for the French Army had been truly difficult.
Not only were they being suppressed by the Allied Forces on the battlefield, but logistical issues had also arisen. With declining support from the British, the French government was no longer able to gather sufficient strategic resources.
