Capítulo 2: The Return of the King chapter 002
On November 11, 1918, in the evening, on a train bound for the front line from the Gallic capital Eiffel Tower, the Gallic Marshal General Foch received the latest telegram from the front line on his marching train.
After seeing this telegram, General Foch became furious
"Find the representatives of the Second Reich for me!"
General Foch said to the guards beside him in a deep voice, his tone was cold and full of murderous intent.
The guards did not know what happened, but they faithfully carried out the general's orders.
After all, the man in front of him now was not only The general of Gaul, and even the marshal of Gaul, the commander-in-chief of the six million troops of the Allied Powers on the Western Front. It was he who regained the lost territory bit by bit during the counterattack on the Western Front, drove the Hans out of the territory, and led them The hero who won the war.
At this time, General Foch not only had high prestige in Gaul, but also was one of the top celebrities in the world.
After a while, the somewhat nervous representative of the Second Empire was captured by the guards. Brought to General Foch, the representative of the Second Empire felt a little strange. The Second Empire's surrender to the Allies had been discussed and the surrender agreement had been signed. At this time, he didn't know what the Gauls were calling him over. Do you want to humiliate him in front of him?
Hans and Gaul are feuding countries.
Since the time of Charlemagne, Gaul has been ravaging Central Europe.
At that time, the Hans did not have a unified country.
Each was in disarray and weak, and they were no match for Gaul.
Therefore, they were beaten to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, and suffered heavy casualties.
This kind of thing continued until the Napoleonic Empire.
During this period, the Hans Kingdom was always suppressed by the Gauls.
The repeated friction on the ground couldn't be more miserable, so they hated this group of invincible Gauls across Europe.
However, when Hans began to develop and grow, and Gaul began to decline under the attack of the anti-French alliance, This situation began to reverse in 1870, when the arrogant Napoleon III launched a war against Hans.
As a result, Hans, who was well-equipped and ready for action, was beaten to pieces.
William I suddenly reached the capital of Gaul, and then crowned himself emperor in the Gallic Palace, established the Second Empire, and also took away two pieces of Gaul land rich in iron ore and coal mines.
As the defeated side, Gaul. Not only had to compensate the Second Empire for the astronomical war compensation of 5 billion francs, but they also had to bear the pain of giving up two extremely important coal and iron ore bases in Gaul. Since then, the industry of the Second Empire has made great progress and succeeded. The Second Industrial Revolution was launched, not only completely surpassing Gaul, but also surpassing the old industrial power, the Sun Never Sets Empire.
In contrast, Gaul, which lost these two places, lost its power in the second industrial revolution. He lost the opportunity in the Industrial Revolution and fell completely behind others. He watched helplessly as his former younger brother surpassed him little by little and looked down on him.
This huge contrast made the entire country of Gaul full of hatred for its eastern neighbor. , countless Gauls vowed to take revenge on the Second Empire.
Fifty years later, when the Second Empire lost the World War, the whole country of Gaul rejoiced and celebrated!
The representatives of the Second Empire just came out of the Iron Tower City. He was more or less aware of this, but he didn't expect that a dignified Gallic marshal would actually show off his power in front of an ordinary negotiator like him. This was really a bit embarrassing, but being a member of the Second Empire. After the representative was brought to General Foch, what greeted him was not General Foch’s ridicule and sarcasm, but full of anger.
"Mr. Representative, I think your Second Empire should give me an explanation for this matter! General
Foch said angrily to the representatives of the Second Empire.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
The representatives of the Second Empire were a little confused. They didn't know what kind of trick the Gauls were playing. Could it be that they had gone back on their word and did not agree to the previous surrender agreement, and wanted to find an excuse to rush into the hinterland of the Second Empire and wipe out the Second Empire completely? Dismemberment?
When he thought of this, the representative suddenly became wary.
Although the Second Empire had been defeated and surrendered, it still had a huge army of nearly 5 million people. If the Gauls wanted to take advantage of it, they wanted to annex or destroy the entire country. If it were an empire, then these five million troops would definitely fight to the last moment to defend their country!
"Huh, what do you mean? See for yourself!"
Marshal Foch didn't notice the expression of the representative of the Second Empire. He coldly slapped the telegram in his hand on the other person, lit a cigar, and puffed on the smoke while looking at the other person condescendingly. The
Second Empire The representative tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and then opened the telegram and checked it.
He was stunned after just one glance, and then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and he seemed to realize that he was now in Gaul. Marshal Foch saw all this , so he snorted heavily.
It can be seen that the people of the Second Empire were not convinced by this defeat, so they were subconsciously happy after seeing this telegram.
The content of this telegram that made the noble Marshal of Gaul extremely angry was actually very simple, but very few. Just a few words: This afternoon, our army was attacked by the Germans in the Bastogne area. The 18th Division of the Ninth Army was caught off guard. 1,126 people were killed and 2,457 injured in the battle.
Of course, this was not what made him most angry. What made him most angry was the last sentence of the telegram: The Bastogne area is still in the hands of Hans!
