Chapter 22 - The Return of the King chapter 022

Gaul is so popular!

"How could this be true? How could it be true?"

The Gauls, who were angered by the arrogance of the German army, were so angry that they wanted to march eastward immediately and flatten the entire Hans!

"Marshal Foch, what do you think should be done?"

Marshal Xia Fei, who has a big belly and looks kind on the outside, stared at his successor with bright eyes. At this time, Marshal Foch, the most powerful figure in the Gallic military, looked at him. Marshal Pétain on the side heard Xia Fei Fei also looked at Foch curiously. Obviously, he was also very interested in how Foch would answer Xiafei's question.

"What do you think should be done?"

Marshal Foch is not a fool. He knows very well that these two guys have bad intentions. The reason why they appear in his office must be because there are other people behind them who are instigating and instigating.

The victory of the first battle made Gao Gao The national sentiment within Rwanda is unprecedentedly high, and the successful victory over the old rival has also made many people in the military feel swollen.

As a result, it is not surprising that there are a large number of hawks in the military who advocate being tough on Germany. , let alone these young hawks, even Marshal Foch himself hopes that this time he can solve the threat Hans brings to the Republic as much as possible.

However, he will not reveal these thoughts easily. As a central figure, he knew very well that his words and deeds were likely to be misinterpreted and used by people with ulterior motives. By then, he would probably be in endless trouble and disputes!

Marshal Xiafei didn't think so much, since Foch Ask him what he thinks, then he can't control that much!

This old marshal, who has just served as a member of the Supreme Military Council, has not returned to the center of power for a long time after the Battle of the Marne River. Now that he has the opportunity to intervene at this time! Regarding this matter, Marshal Xiafei naturally refused to let go of this opportunity!

"I believe that since the German army has given us the opportunity to take action this time, we must not hesitate. We should decisively seize this opportunity and completely solve this threat!

Perhaps feeling that what he said was not inflammatory enough, Marshal Xiafei added:"Only in this way can the peace of the Republic be ensured for the next hundred years!""

Both Pétain and Foch understood what Joffre meant. Since the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia, on the European continent, in addition to the previous Holy Roman Empire, there was another country that could pose a threat to Gaul. However, Prussia The Holy Roman Empire had been destroyed for more than a hundred years, and after the Franco-Prussian War, Prussia transformed into the Hans Empire. This new empire posed an unparalleled threat to Gaul.

The defeat in the Franco-Prussian War almost changed the national destiny of Gaul. Faced with this terrible crisis, the entire country is having trouble sleeping and eating. At this time, the huge boulder pressing on them has finally been broken. Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, but if the root cause cannot be eradicated, no one can There is no guarantee that this kind of peace will last, ten years? Twenty years?

Marshal Foch nodded slightly.

He understood Xiafei's thoughts, so he turned to look at Marshal Pétain among the three present.

The marshal is the youngest and less famous than the two.

Joffre is known as the national hero who saved the Republic, while Marshal Foch is the greatest contributor to leading the French army to victory in the war.

Compared with these two, Marshal Pétain is naturally It is far inferior to him, so in front of several big brothers, Marshal Pétain is very honest and does not dare to stand out.

"I support Marshal Xiafei's view!"

Seeing Marshal Foch looking at him, Marshal Pétain immediately expressed his attitude. He knew very well that if he wanted to gain a better future and gain greater power, he must gain greater military exploits in the war. Okay, but if you want to gain military merit, you can only use war!

And leading the French army to destroy the entire Hans, this achievement is exciting just thinking about it!

"In this case, then I will go see the president right now!"

Marshal Foch never expressed his attitude from beginning to end, but used the opinions of the two marshals to lobby the president and prime minister.

Gallic President Poincaré has always advocated being tough on Germany, so after hearing the military's request, he felt Overjoyed, he immediately expressed his willingness to support the military's request.

However, Prime Minister Clemenceau was not as optimistic as the two of them. He only asked:"Will the Sun Never Set and the Yingjiang people agree to our military action?"

The president and the marshal were speechless when asked this question!

That's right!

The attitudes of the two allies are unclear. Even if they are really told about this plan, they may not agree to it. This has been known from the previous peace talks. It has been clearly shown.

The Yingjiang people have made it clear that they do not accept the plan to dismember Hans. Can they still be expected to support the war plan of the Allied forces to invade Hans at this time?

"Hum, even if they don't support it, we can take action ourselves!"

Poincaré was furious and planned to leave his allies and go it alone.

Not to mention Clemenceau's disdain for such brainless words, even Marshal Foch couldn't stand it anymore.

He glanced at the president subconsciously, He quickly glanced at the Prime Minister. From the Prime Minister's frowning and thoughtful expression, he saw the Prime Minister's hesitation.

This made Marshal Foch thoughtful. It seemed that the Prime Minister was not very enthusiastic about this kind of military action!

"Marshal, what is your attitude?"

Just when Marshal Foch was distracted, Clemenceau raised his head, looked at Marshal Foch, and asked for his opinion.

Clemenceau was a smart man, and he obviously saw that, although Marshal Foch took What comes out is the attitude of the military, but this is the opinion of Xiafei and Pétain, not his own real opinion.

Military operations against Germany must know ourselves and the enemy, and be familiar with the strengths of both the enemy and ourselves. In this case, Then Prime Minister Clemenceau was particularly concerned about the attitude of Marshal Foch, who was the commander-in-chief of the Western Front of the Allied Powers at this time!

"If possible, I hope that the country Hans does not exist in this world!"
