"What, the main force of the Spinlans was surrounded?"
On the same day that the German army captured the city of Posen, before the sun set here, Prime Minister George received a secret telegram from MI6.
"It is absolutely true that the German army used a new type of weapon to break through the Polish army's defense line. Then, with the assistance of the Hansi people in Posen City, it only took half a day to defeat the Posen defenders and capture the city. This is an extremely important key point for the Polish army!"
Although the director of MI6 is a naval colonel, he is not completely ignorant of army matters. At least, he can see the importance of Posen to the Spinland people!
"Get General Haig to come see me immediately!"
Prime Minister George feels that this is unusual and must be taken seriously immediately!
And General Haig is one of the few famous army generals among whom the sun never sets. When encountering matters related to the frontline battle situation, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to ask him The choice!
General Haig was promoted to baron due to his military merits after the war. With his reputation and prestige, he founded the Veterans' Foundation to help veterans who had lost their ability to make a living due to the war. Therefore, in Among the veterans who never set, General Haig has a high reputation!
At this time, he was carrying out rescue work for recovered soldiers in Scotland. After receiving the telegram from Prime Minister George, General Haig immediately took the train back to Fog. capital!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, for you to call me here in such a hurry, is it because there has been some big change on the battlefield in Europe?"
Although General Douglas Haig gradually retired after World War I, this does not mean that he did not care about military matters!
On the contrary, because he was approaching retirement, he had more During this period of time, General Haig was busy helping veterans and writing his own personal autobiography.
Of course, the income from the sales of these autobiographies, according to his personality, was. He will definitely donate it all to his foundation to help veterans!
In addition to doing these personal things, General Haig was also very concerned about the situation in Europe when the sun never set decided to send troops to intervene in the Mao Xiong Civil War. General Ge actually expressed his opposition. He believed that Mao Xiong's land area was too large and its population was too large. It would be too difficult to make such a country surrender!
The Sun Never Sets Empire itself had experienced the depletion of the First World War. At this time, the national strength has not been fully restored. Under this situation, the top priority is to disband the army, control the size of the army, and reduce military expenditures to reduce the burden on the government!
If the government really has too much money to spend, There is no need to use the money to fight the war. They can use the money to help veterans who have lost their means of livelihood after retiring.
However, General Haig's suggestion was not taken seriously, so he quickly retired!
At that time, Prime Minister George hurriedly summoned him. It was probably because something big happened on the front line, and it was something they couldn't handle, and he needed to intervene!
Haig's guess was accurate. Prime Minister George himself could no longer control the situation!
"General, I'll give you ten minutes to take a look at this!"
Prime Minister George has great respect for this old man who has made great military exploits for the empire. Moreover, he is a knight and holds a title. He himself is just a civilian. The two factors work together to make the Prime Minister's attitude appear to be extremely respectful.
Haig glanced at Prime Minister George suspiciously. The prime minister of the Empire on which the sun never sets was actually so polite to an old man who was about to retire. This made him feel that something was wrong.
What kind of big event happened on the front line that made George feel uncomfortable? Is the Prime Minister so eager?
With such curiosity, General Haig calmed down and carefully read the information provided to him by Prime Minister George!
The content of this information was very detailed, and it mainly talked about this time between Hans and Bolan. The beginning and end of the war described in detail the origin and development of the battlefield war, until the huge dilemma faced by the Bolan people.
It took ten minutes to read all these things. General Haig already understood the opponent's intentions!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, with all due respect, you made a bad move back then!"
General Haig had a straight face and unceremoniously criticized Prime Minister George and his government cabinet!
Prime Minister George was not in the mood to discuss this with the other party at this time. What he was most concerned about was when the old general could lead his army to go on an expedition. Solve the current dilemma!
Although only the Pineland Army is surrounded, the possible chain reaction of this incident will endanger the Allies themselves!
The Sun Never Sets Empire indeed has more than 200,000 troops in Eastern Europe that have not yet withdrawn!
If you don't want these more than 200,000 troops to be wiped out, you must take action quickly!
"Since you already won the Battle of Warsaw, why didn't you pursue the victory and attack Mao Xiong? Why come here to provoke Hans?"
General Haig was still angry. He couldn't figure out why these guys were so stupid. They didn't seize such a good fighter opportunity in front of them, but instead provoked people they shouldn't have provoked!
Before! The Sun Never Sets Empire has spent hundreds of millions or even billions of pounds to intervene in the Mao Xiong civil war. As a result, when they had hope of winning, they gave up this opportunity and attacked another opponent again. This General Haig couldn't understand this kind of operation, so he was particularly angry!
In his opinion, either don't fight, or you must win if you want to fight. As a result, everything was done halfway but was abandoned halfway, resulting in the huge investment and casualties before. It's all in vain, what else is this kind of thing but stupid?
"General, if you are angry, you should wait until later. Our troops on the front line are currently facing difficulties. The Bears are already preparing to move in the border areas, and the Hans' Third Army has already sent troops from the Silesia area and will soon be cut off. We have lost contact with the main force of the Polish army. Once they cut off the contact between us, we may be attacked from both sides by Mao Xiong and Hans at any time!"
A young colonel said when General Haig was furious.
General Haig turned his head, glanced at the other person, and immediately recognized this guy's identity.
"Montgomery, why didn't you persuade them before and stop their actions?"
Haig immediately vented his anger on Montgomery.
Montgomery shrugged. Although he did not speak, his expression and body movements were obvious: I have tried to persuade them, but do you think they will listen to me? Is that true? His military rank is too low, and others don't take him seriously, so they are naturally unlikely to listen to him!
Montgomery was a malleable talent discovered by General Haig at the end of the First World War. At that time, Montgomery's military rank was only second lieutenant. After discovering the opponent's military talent, General Haig deliberately trained him.
Therefore, by the end of World War I, Montgomery's military rank had been rapidly promoted to lieutenant colonel.
If this rank were in the German army, it would already be a quite high rank!
After all, World War I almost destroyed all the top brass of the German army. Mainz's appointment as commander-in-chief was equivalent to rebuilding the German army, and the veteran generals in the army were completely destroyed. After being cleared, the highest military rank is only major general.
However, here, the meritorious veterans of World War I have not yet retired, let alone being cleared, so the army's lieutenant generals and generals are all the same. Of course, a small lieutenant colonel is nothing!
Although after the war, Montgomery was promoted to colonel again, the rank of colonel is still too low, and it is almost impossible to speak at the top!
"Huh, in that case, I won't talk nonsense. The strategic intentions of the German army are very obvious. They implement pincer tactics. The Third Army on the right is just one of the forces. It is on the left wing of the German army, that is, close to the Baltic Land. There must be an army on this side of the sea, and they will completely cut off the Polish army's retreat!"
