Up to now, the strategic goals of both Germany and France have become very obvious.
The German and French armies both advocate aggression, and under the influence of this military thinking, both countries adopt large-scale offensive tactics.
It's just that the two countries have opposite directions: Germany moves west through Belgium, bypassing Paris, while France moves east through Lorraine, heading straight for the Rhine River.
In order to achieve their respective strategic objectives, France and Germany, the old enemies, have launched four battles in Alsace and Lorraine Region from August 20th, over a period of four days. These battles are known as the Loning Battle, the Aden Battle, the Charleroi Battle, and the Mons Battle.
These four battles are collectively referred to as the border battles. Both parties have invested hundreds of thousands of combat troops, and in just four days, there have been a total of 100,000 casualties.
