Before the war began, French Army Commander-in-Chief Cynthia was quite confident in the combat capabilities of the French Army.
According to the No. 17 Offensive Plan, France would use nearly 1.6 million troops in this offensive.
Although for various reasons, the actual number of troops involved might not even reach half, Cynthia still firmly believed that the core task of completing Operation 17, which was to recapture Alsace and Lorraine, would not be difficult.
In order to supervise the completion of the military tasks, Cynthia often traveled by car to the various battlefronts from Commander Francois Headquarter.
It is worth mentioning that the reason Cynthia was able to shuttle freely between the different battlefronts without delay was due to her skilled personal driver, a three-time winner of the French Grand Prix.
Automobiles had been around for more than a decade by this time, and European nations like France had started to compete in car races.
