Chapter 540: Chapter 423: The Ambition of Verdun_2

It should be noted that Germany had just over one million troops on the Western Front, while the British and French forces had almost three million combat troops. Although a considerable part were colonial troops, the overwhelming numerical advantage of the British and French forces over the German Army cannot be denied.

In Fakinham's letter to William II, he specifically mentioned that the Russian Army is now disoriented after its defeat, and the newly appointed Russian Army Commander-in-Chief Nicholas II is incapable, and unable to launch an attack in a short time.

Seizing this opportunity, 500,000 main forces should be transferred to the Westline and some reservist forces should be recruited domestically to make up a total of 2 million troops to engage in a decisive battle with the British and French forces.
