Capítulo 485: Chapter 384: Rapid Expansion of the Military Industry

On August 24, 1914, the Australasia Expeditionary Force, numbering more than 316,000 people, began to advance towards the European battlefield.

To help the Australasia Expeditionary Force reach Europe faster, Britain and France generously sponsored a large number of transport ships and promised to protect the expeditionary force's transportation throughout the journey.

Regardless, it would take Australasia at least a month to reach the French borders, and during this month, the borders of France could only be defended by the combined British and French forces.

After the border battles in France, France's casualties exceeded 140,000, forcing Cynthia to acknowledge the failure of the border operations.

Both France and Germany were fighting according to their established war plans, but the progress of the two countries shows that France's Operation 17 has already failed, while Germany's plan to invade through Belgium was successful.
