Capítulo 121: 121
"We made a serious mistake!"
At the border area between Gaul and Hans, when Marshal Foch saw Lieutenant General Henry who had retreated from the front line, he severely criticized the latter!
"You should not abandon the Rhineland, and you should not let the German army enter here so easily!"
Others may not understand the significance of the Rhine region, but Marshal Foch knows it very well.
In addition, Lieutenant General Henry's poor performance in previous military operations made him even more dissatisfied with the guy in front of him!
"Marshal, do you need us to send troops now to drive the Germans away?"
Seeing the frosty expression on Marshal Foch's face, a French major general pretended to be brave and said.
This sentence was originally intended to please Marshal Foch, and he even said it at the risk of offending his immediate boss, Lieutenant General Henry. However
, what disappointed him was that Marshal Foch was not half happy about his flattery, but instead reprimanded him immediately!
��Confused, what are you doing in the Rhineland now? Are we going to let the international community think that we have invaded Hansi again? Don't you think this incident is not embarrassing enough and want to embarrass our Gaul country again?"
Marshal Foch was angry. Everyone was trembling with fear, lowering their heads and not daring to speak out loud.
Marshal Foch was too lazy to pay attention to these people anymore. At this time, he had withdrawn his troops from Hansi. If the sun never sets and they are extremely wary of them, if they dare to send troops back to Hans, then the things that the two countries threatened before may become a reality!
Since the French army failed to seize the opportunity of a lifetime! opportunity, then when the opportunity has disappeared at this time, they cannot continue to be entangled. They should let it go when it is time to let it go, otherwise they will only embarrass themselves!
"Although the war is over, what we got is only fifteen years of peace. This is not a complete peace!"
Standing on a high place, looking at the direction of the Kingdom of Hans in the distance, Marshal Foch said that famous sentence!
But what is different from that sentence in history is that because of the butterfly brought by the appearance of Mainz As a result, Marshal Foch's words shortened the period of 20 years to 15 years.
Marshal Foch really believed that the peace between Hans and Gaul could not last long, and war would definitely come. At that time, the situation in Gaul would probably be very dangerous!
Thinking of this, Marshal Foch felt that he must do something. He was a Gaul and he loved his motherland deeply. Since he had predicted the danger in the future, Then he must remind the rulers to pay attention to and guard against this danger!
So, Marshal Foch began to lead a large group of staff to conduct an inspection along the national border of Hans and Gaul.
After the inspection, in 1920. In October of that year, the marshal returned to the Gallic capital City of Towers and submitted a report personally written by him to the government.
"Marshal, the future is really so sad."
After receiving this report from Marshal Foch, the government cabinet attached great importance to it. After reading Marshal Foch's report, the Prime Minister immediately summoned
"At least I think so!"
Marshal Foch said very frankly that he was indeed very pessimistic about the future because he really couldn't find any reason not to be pessimistic!
"However, now we are the victorious country, Hans is the defeated country, and we still have the Treaty of Versailles restricting the Hans. No matter how you look at it, we have the advantage. Why do you think we should take defensive measures now?"
Prime Minister Clemenceau couldn't understand. In his opinion, even if the operation to march into the Ruhr failed, it would not be a particularly big deal. The casualties suffered by the French army in this operation were not large. The total number of French soldiers killed on the front line was less than 30,000. This level of loss was completely inadequate compared with World War I. During World War I, in any larger battle, the French army's losses were not greater than this? What's more
? , most of the battlefields in World War I were in the Gauls' own country, but this time the battlefield was in the enemy's territory. Comparing the two, it was obvious that the latter had an advantage. They went abroad to fight, which shows that they were in an advantageous position and had the power to fight. initiative!
Under such circumstances, Marshal Foch was still so pessimistic, which the Prime Minister of Gaul could not understand.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am not pessimistic about the current situation, I am pessimistic about the future situation. You should be clear about the purpose of our march to the Ruhr. Without destroying Hans' industrial system, the two of us can The huge population gap between the two countries will put us at a complete disadvantage in the next war. Hans's industrial strength and population size are better than ours. If we fight against Hans, I really can't see any hope of winning!"
Marshal Foch felt very tired. In fact, there was no need for him to explain this kind of thing. As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Clemenceau should be very aware of it. As a result, it seems that he did not fully understand this in his heart. , which made Marshal Foch very disappointed!
"Haha, I think Marshal you have filtered it out. We Gauls are not fighting alone, we have allies like the sun never sets and Yingjiang beside us!"
"But Sun Bu Luo and Ying Jiang have betrayed us in this operation!"
Marshal Foch has completely lost trust in these two allies. It is really unreliable to rely on these two allies to protect the national security of Gaul!"
"Yes, they did do this, but it was just out of their own national interests. The sun never sets and they don't want us to dominate Europe, and Eagle Sauce is worried that we will crowd out their international trade market, so they join forces to stop it. Got us!"
When Marshal Foch heard Clemenceau's words, he couldn't help but look at him twice. The other party's analysis just now was quite thorough, which shows that the other party has a very deep understanding of the country's structure. But with such an understanding of people, why Will you still be optimistic about the future?
"The reason is very simple. The reason why Sun Never Sets opposes us is to safeguard their own interests. The same is true for Eagle Sauce. Although they oppose our march into Hans, it does not mean that they are really on Hans side. To support Hans, all they need is a balance, and once this balance is broken in the future, they will take action immediately!"
"Now it is our high-ranking Hans who are powerful, so you think they are supporting Hans and suppressing us.
But when Hans becomes stronger than us in the future, do you think they will help us or Hans?"
After Clemenceau finished speaking, he felt very proud. He felt that he had seen through the little thoughts of various countries!
Now that they had seen through the thoughts of various countries, they could definitely use the attitudes of various countries to benefit themselves.
Marshal Foch thought After a while, he had to admit that what the Prime Minister said made sense, but he was a soldier and he really couldn't leave his country's security to other countries for protection. Soldiers should use their guns to protect their country. , so he still sticks to his opinion!
"Even so, I think the Maginot Line still needs to be built!"
