Jagged Germany

"Let the 6th and 7th armies go south from Verdun, capture Lyon, and fight all the way to Marseilles. The 3rd and 5th armies also continue to go south, attacking central France, and destroying all French resistance. The first The 2nd Army and the 3rd Army will go south from Paris. As for the 1st Army and the 8th Army, they need to attack westward along the Seine River. The 1st Army and 5th Army of the British and French coalition forces are not retreating to Le Havre Is it? It’s best not to let the British army return to the British mainland!” Qin Tian said.

  Although the British and French coalition forces still have nearly 2 million people, in Qin Tian's view, they are simply vulnerable. Compared with the elite German army that has experienced many battles, the combat effectiveness of the British and French allied forces is too poor. Especially those newly formed troops, the combat effectiveness is quite poor. As for the British Expeditionary Force, even though they only had 300,000 people left, Qin Tian still hoped to wipe them out in France instead of sending them back to England. Once they return to the UK, when the German army lands in the UK in the future, it will pose a certain threat to the German army.

  The British Army is undoubtedly much weaker than the Navy. The British Expeditionary Force is undoubtedly a relatively well-equipped and combat-effective force. Although, they were embarrassed by the Germans on the French battlefield. However, if they return to the UK and re-arm, under the stimulation of the thought of defending the country, they don't know how powerful they will be.

  Qin Tian does not want the German army to suffer too many casualties in the future landing operations in the UK. After all, the war was almost over, and it was not worth losing one's life at that time.

"Your Highness, is it too much to deploy six legions to attack the remnants of the French in the south? The vast area of ​​northern France also requires troops to stay behind. Especially when our logistics supply lines are getting longer and longer, this is undoubtedly a problem. Give those French who insist on resistance a chance." Admiral Crook reminded.

  Qin Tian nodded, logistics support is indeed very important. Especially when the army entered the south-central of France, it was necessary to send troops to garrison important traffic nodes, and even conduct patrols to encircle and suppress the French who persisted in resisting. This also makes it impossible for them to send all the troops out.

   "Then, which army should we keep to garrison northern France?" Qin Tian asked.

"Let the 4th Army of the Duke of Württemberg stay. The Duke of Württemberg is not in good health recently, and he has requested to return to China for a period of recuperation. In this case, it is just right for the 4th Army to undertake less serious logistical support tasks." Bi Admiral Luo suggested.

  Qin Tian thought for a while, and agreed to this strategy, leaving the 4th Army for logistical support, while the other five armies attacked south. Although one legion was missing, Qin Tian was still very confident in the German army's next attack. Five legions, more than one million people, are enough to sweep the whole of France. The remaining troops of the French were no match for the Germans at all.

"Your Highness, Le Havre is the naval base of the French, and there are many French warships left there. If we attack Le Havre, I am afraid that we will be attacked by French naval guns. The artillery of the army, obviously It is impossible to fight against the navy's naval guns. In addition, if Le Havre is not blocked, the British may withdraw from there to the British mainland. Therefore, it is best to let the navy assist us in this battle." Lieutenant General Ludendorff, chief of staff of the 8th Army, said.

"Yes, Your Highness. If the Navy can assist us, it will be able to block the way for the British to retreat. By then, it will be easier to take Le Havre and wipe out the British Expeditionary Force." Crook went up will say.

   "I will explain to the navy. When the 1st and 8th legions attack Le Havre, the navy will send warships to assist you." Qin Tian said.

   This is a small problem. Although, the French also have a not weak navy. However, the main force of the French navy has always been in the Mediterranean. If it is said that in the last century, the French still had the ambition to compete with the British for maritime supremacy, then after the fall of the Second French Empire, the French ambitions were also shattered. With the French self-defeating, the Royal Navy of the British Empire naturally and easily became the most powerful navy in the world. Facing the powerful Royal Navy, the French Navy even had to transfer its main force to the Mediterranean Sea to dominate in that small pond, and did not dare to compete with the British Royal Navy in the Atlantic Ocean.

  Of course, the current French navy does not pose any threat to the German navy at all. Although, the French Navy also has ten capital ships. But in front of the powerful German navy, that is nothing at all. Sending a fleet at will can destroy it. The current German navy has defeated even the British Royal Navy and has become the veritable number one navy in the world.

"Everyone, the French campaign will soon come to an end. In other words, the entire land battlefield, except for the next battle to land in Britain, there will be no large-scale battles. It is not a short-term battle to land in Britain. It can be launched in half a while, and there are a lot of things that need to be prepared. It is estimated that it will take until at least the second half of the year. Therefore, in the final battle of the French battlefield, I hope that everyone will be more careful and avoid capsizing in the gutter In that case, it will be a stain on our victory." Qin Tian reminded.

  The German Army is number one in the world, this is the consensus of everyone. Although the German Army is very rigorous, they still inevitably feel proud in the face of a series of brilliant victories. In that case, it is very likely to plant the seeds of failure for failure.

   "Yes, Your Highness." Several commanders nodded solemnly. The mood of the army recently is indeed not quite right.

   "Okay, everyone. Let's all go back and prepare. I hope that the Battle of France will end as soon as possible. Then, start preparing for landing in the British mainland." Qin Tian said with a smile.

   "Yes, Your Highness." Several commanders replied. Although, it is not yet known which regiments will participate in the battle to land on the British mainland. However, everyone undoubtedly hopes to have this opportunity in their hearts.

  The next day, the German army continued to operate. The 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th armies moved south to attack the French. The 1st Army and the 8th Army headed west towards the sea. The 4th Army is responsible for ensuring the safety of the logistics supply line.
