The fact that the German army repelled the French attack in the Bastogne area quickly spread throughout the front line, and the entire Allied Powers were in an uproar.
For a time, the Gauls who clamored to launch a large-scale attack, the Sun Never Sets people who advocated putting pressure on Germany, and the Eagles who were skeptical and hoped to send investigators to the front line all took action.
Within the Second Empire, this incident also caused an uproar.
General Hindenburg, Field Marshal of the Second Reich, who was ending his contacts with Britain, the United States and other countries and was preparing to inspect the front line, was speechless for a long time after hearing about this incident.
Although the post-war disposal of the Second Empire has not yet begun, he already knows some things from the information revealed by insiders such as the United Kingdom and the United States.
For example, in order to completely suppress the Hans Kingdom, Gaul People insisted on taking extremely severe restrictive measures against the German army in dealing with Germany after the war, such as greatly weakening the German army, limiting the German army to less than 100,000 people, and prohibiting the German army from possessing heavy artillery with a caliber exceeding 105 mm..
The German army was not allowed to develop and possess heavy machine guns, the German army was prohibited from developing tanks, and the German army's general staff was abolished. The Gauls also proposed that the Allied Powers send troops to implement military occupation and control of Germany.
From the perspective of the empire, the conditions proposed by the Gauls were completely unacceptable. If the Gauls really made such a request, Hindenburg had no doubt that the soldiers and civilians of the entire empire would stand up and fight to defend their country. to death.
Fortunately, the Allies were not decided by the Gauls alone. As the sun never sets and Yingjiang has not yet expressed its stance, the Gauls' conspiracy will probably not succeed.
At this time, news came from the front line that the German army had severely punished the arrogant Gauls. Although this made Hindenburg feel bad, it also made him feel a little worried.
Obviously, Marshal Hindenburg was worried that the Gauls would use this incident to make a big fuss and encourage the entire Allied Powers to tear up the armistice agreement and continue to attack Germany.
However, at a time when the entire empire is in a downturn, such news may also be able to boost morale and arouse people's confidence. Therefore, after thinking about it, he finally did not issue any orders on this matter.
...
On the Bastogne front, Major Mainz didn't know how much of a sensation his actions had caused internationally. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care about it.
Looking at the messy battlefield with corpses strewn all over the field, Major Mainz nodded with satisfaction. Taking advantage of the soldiers to clean the battlefield, he answered the command and found a deserted place to open the system.

[The host completes the system task: counterattack the French army, and is rewarded with 1,000 system funds and 1 skill point. Currently, it has 1 unallocated skill point. Do you want to allocate it immediately? ]
After checking his detailed attributes, Lin Yu heard the system prompt.
Seeing the reward for completing the task, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yu is not a person of this era, but a time traveler from more than a hundred years later, and the key to supporting his survival in this era is this system in his body.
After gradually adapting to this body, Lin Yu gradually developed feelings for his current motherland. He was familiar with history and knew that the First World War was a foregone conclusion and that the fate of the Second Empire could not be reversed.
As the defeated party, the astronomical war reparations and the suppression and extortion from all the Allied Powers will bring heavy disasters to this young country. I am afraid that in the next ten years, what awaits the Germans It will all be endless darkness.
The Treaty of Versailles is like a yoke that imprisons slaves, tightly tied to the necks of the entire German people. If this chain is not broken, the citizens of this land will not have a bright future.
Therefore, he resolutely chose to accept the mission of the system and fight to rebuild the empire and restore its glory!
Lin Yu shook his head, put away his thoughts, and focused on himself again.
If World War I was the stage of trench warfare, then World War II will be the world of armored warfare. Therefore, neither infantry tactics nor artillery tactics will be the focus of the future.
Now that the First World War has ended, the next major war will undoubtedly be the Second World War twenty years later. In order to win the next war, the imperial soldiers must be prepared from now on.
Therefore, Lin Yu did not hesitate to use a skill point he had just obtained to improve armor tactics.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading primary armor tactics to the ordinary level. Ordinary armor tactics can increase the combat effectiveness of armored forces to the average level in 1940]
Although ordinary armor tactics are not outstanding, at this time when tanks and armored vehicles were just born, they have There are very few generals with experience in armored tactics. Being able to command armored troops in combat is an outstanding ability in itself, not to mention reaching the average level of 1940, which is simply outstanding.
Just after the skill distribution was completed, the soldiers cleaning the battlefield on the front line immediately came to report
"Mr. Major, that weird water tower where the sun never sets is coming!"
Hearing the soldier's strange report, and then seeing the soldier's horrified expression, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, water tower?
Wait a minute, during World War I, were the British tanks called water towers?
Thinking of this, Lin Yu picked up the Telescope, and then took a breath!
Isn't it the British tank that appears in the distance?
