Chapter 602 William's Strategic Map
The southern suburbs of Paris, Germany-France joint military airport-[I just love reading]
In the drizzle, a large transport aircraft with four engines slid along the flat runway to the apron. Several black shark-like skins and smooth lines were already waiting here. The well-dressed German officials held umbrellas and welcomed the arrival of the priest with a benchmark-like pen.
The plane stopped steadily, and the ground service staff wearing raincoat ponchos quickly moved the gangway off the plane to the door of the cabin. When all four high-power engines stopped roaring, the three-blade propeller's speed dropped to the point where the flesh could be seen, and the door of the cabin was opened. A particularly burly young officer looked out, lowered his head, bent down, got out of his umbrella, and stretched open. Then, a middle-aged man with a slim face, tall cloak, half covered the gold-colored collar seal, stepped over the door of the cabin and walked down the gangway.
The officers waiting under the gangway gave military salutes in unison.
The middle-aged man kept walking, raised his right hand lightly to greet the officers, walked along the red carpet that had not been completely soaked in the rain to the high-end custom car in the group of Heli's "Chicken" and sat in the car without stopping.
The officers who accompanied the plane got off the plane one by one, shook hands with the colleagues who came to greet them, and then got into the car. The whole process was quiet and smooth, as if it had been rehearsed in advance. The time from the plane landing to the convoy lasted no more than five minutes.
The middle-aged man with a gold-colored collar had spacious space and comfortable seats. In addition to the front driver and the adjutant of the guard, there was only a general wearing a red-bottomed gold-printed collar. His sideburns were gray, but his face and skin were still rarely old. The car drove for a short distance, and the general said in a tone of neither humility nor arrogant: "Your Highness, how is the meeting with the British Crown Prince this time?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "As expected, the British had long been determined to fight this battle with us and use swords and fire to regain their honor."
The general responded slowly: "What they want to regain is not only honor, but also the interests that have spread throughout the world in the past. Unfortunately, they have overestimated the United States' ability to war and thought that the participation of the United States could change their weaknesses in land warfare. Time will let them know how outrageous their imagination is today."
The middle-aged man surrounded by sharp cheeks and Yaxiang showed his full confidence in his speech: "They bet on the battlefield to reverse the economic and foreign diplomatic difficulties, which is exactly the same as our plan. From 1916 to the present, the empire's economic development has achieved proud results, but various problems arising from rapid development have also arisen. To break through the bottleneck and truly surpass the United States to become a unique world power, a war will be needed to provide assistance."
The veteran nodded and said with deep emotion: "It is precisely because His Highness found the crux of the development of the empire that His Majesty would be so relieved to give you the direct command of this war. With my age, I can catch up with the second war that determines the fate of the country. I feel honored and have a great responsibility. I hope that the victorious "female" God can protect us from defeating the enemy at the lowest cost."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth: "Dear General Von Carson, our primary capital for victory is not the favor of the victorious "female" god, but because we have the strength to win, because we are fully material and spiritually prepared. Do you know? The British crown prince thought that their strait defense line could withstand our pace of landing in Britain. It was so naive. It seemed that they had ignored the military preparations we had made in Ireland and France for a long time. As long as our heavy tank troops could gain a foothold somewhere in the UK, the British team could not stop us from tearing their defense. People always compared us with Napoleon's French Empire. Judging from the empire, we have exceeded the heights that the ancient Roman Empire had reached, so we would sweep across Britain like the ancient Roman army."
The general corrected seriously: "To be more precise, we will cross the English Channel like the ancient Roman army, and then complete the unfinished feat of the ancient Romans to conquer the entire Britain."
The middle-aged man chuckled: "In 1915, our army had not penetrated France and entered the northern shore of the Mediterranean, but the French were still conquered by us. Conquest may not necessarily mean occupying every inch of territory. As long as the enemy's will and the enemy's confidence is destroyed, conquest can be achieved."
Seeing that the master who had been with him for many years showed Caesar-like domineeringness, the general smiled with relief and said:
"Your Highness, judging from the information reported by Russia, the Soviets do not intend to be cannon fodder for the United States and Britain. They will at least remain neutral in the early stages of the war. It is enough for us to maintain the existing troops on the small Mao defense line, and there is no need to send additional troops to the eastern border. I believe that the Japanese government will also fulfill its secret agreement with us. In this case, the army will only have one opponent after the war begins, that is, Britain."
This middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament, William Little Prince of the Second German Empire, said: "Even if he has the ability to stand out, it is best to only 'fight' with one enemy at a time, and completely defeat it before dealing with the other. This is the reminder left to Germany by Count Bismarck before his death. We failed to follow the last war, but fortunately we won. This time, we will definitely win even more without any suspense!"
The general never showed such confidence as the crown prince. He analyzed carefully: "The most under pressure is our navy now. We are going to war with Britain, and the possibility of the United States participating in the war is more than 90%. At that time, our navy will not only deal with the British local fleet, but also respond to the joint attacks of the US and British navies in the central Atlantic and the Possian Bay area, and also escort the army combat forces to land in the UK. With its current strength, it is best to focus on two battlefields selectively."
"Scher and Hippel both believe that the German Navy can win a full victory with the help of their allies." said the Crown Prince William, who was sitting upright, "As long as my brother, who has a magical strategy, can clearly recognize his responsibilities and mission as a member of the Hohenzollern royal family, the Irish army will become a surprise soldier for us to defeat the enemy. Just last night, I "conversed" him for two hours alone, and I think he will make the right choice."
The general thought for a moment: "Plus with the power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Italy and the Ottoman Empire, our chances of winning are indeed greater than our opponents, but any situation on the battlefield may occur..."
"No matter how careful the plan is, it requires adaptation!" The crown prince said the second half of the old "Mao" famous saying, and then the two looked at each other and smiled. After a moment, the crown prince said, "There is nothing to worry about, just do it like this!"
"Yes, Your Highness, we are already on the road. We must move forward bravely and not retreat cowardly." The general said in a pun.
Soon, the convoy drove to a scenic aristocratic manor, where there was a magnificent Baroque castle. Through the heavy cast iron gate, you could see a large area of "serious" lawns. Not far away is a tributary of the Seine River. At the end of the sight is an endless building. It is Paris Grand, which is known as the "waves" capital. It should have returned to its freedom after the French government paid the war reparations, but the German team has not withdrawn for a long time. After the outbreak of the French Red "color" revolution, the Allies had more reason to continue to occupy it, thus maintaining the siege of Britain.
Nowadays, Germany's wartime base is located in Berlin. A group of veterans who participated in the last war are studying the war situation facing Germany in the conference room of the bright windows and clean tables. The German General Staff, the German General Staff, had been secretly moved here two weeks ago.
A place with such an elegant environment may have been an ideal choice for romance, literary creation, and planning "conspiracy". Now many talented military think tanks are planning here, which can be regarded as the best use of everything. The only disadvantage is that there are three steps inside and outside the manor, one post at five steps, and one sentry everywhere, and there are interconnected trenches and groups of anti-aircraft artillery bunkers everywhere, and there are even many bunkers parked with chariots. Although these fortifications are covered with camouflage nets, they don't look strange from a distance, but when they are in it, they can feel the damage to the atmosphere. However, from a military perspective, these defense measures are very necessary.
In recent years, the most outstanding German troops are the newly established paratroopers, rescue the German ground forces surrounded by French revolutionary armed forces, support the Portuguese military mutiny, attack the Possian armed command, etc. The agile figures of German paratroopers appeared in various hot areas, playing the role of a hidden arrow and flying knife with unprecedented maneuverability. Seeing that the German airborne troops are so sharp, almost all powerful countries and regional military powers have successively established their own paratroopers and actively learned the German airborne tactics, and Britain is no exception. At present, Britain and Germany are on the verge of war, and the highest staff of the German team moved forward to only one from the English Channel.
The suburbs of Paris with more than 100 kilometers of traffic and communication conditions are very developed. This is certainly conducive to improving command efficiency, but it also lays hidden dangers in security. Since the Armistice between Germany and France in 1915, the French people have never stopped underground resistance. After the outbreak of the Red and Color Revolution, the French people were roughly divided into two factions, but whether they were hostile to the revolution or sympathetic to the revolution, they were unwilling to see the German occupation forces continue to be stationed in France, and they also hated the Allied teams destroying their cities and ravaging their homes on the grounds of suppressing the revolution. If France wants to get rid of this situation, it must hope that the United States and Britain will defeat the allies. In this way, Paris during the war will never be a peaceful place.
