บท 311: RM Vol 4: War – Interlude: A Southern Slice - Edited by Yovis

Due to the shock-and-awe effects of the Reich Marshal's Army Group A in Central Maginot, the situation on the Southern front evolved unexpectedly. Owing to confusion and the sudden collapse of Central Maginot, the Loyalists in the Southern region were forced to divert a significant portion of their force to secure their flank. As a direct result, there was a major gap in their already weakened defense line. The Loyalists were counting on their reserved units to fill in the opening quickly. However, the lack of an effective communication system prevented them from being swiftly deployed. While the Loyalists were struggling to get a grip on their war effort, this weak point of theirs was detected by the Belkan-Reformist coalition. Thus, a choice had to be made on whether or not to stick to the plan or capitalize on the occasion. As a tempered opportunist ever since she shook hands with the Reich Marshal, Princess Rosa Bonaparte would be a fool to let this chance slip away. Launching a dastardly attack that would make the Marshal proud of her decisive thinking and prowess, the combined Belkan-Reformist Army Group C drove a wedge deep enough to directly threaten the cities of Metz, Nancy, and Strasbourg. Rosa brainstormed that, by threatening these three cities, she could confuse the Allies even more, thus masking Case Yellow's true objectives.
