Jagged Germany: Chapter 522 Ridiculous 2700 votes plus updates
Qin Tian set up his headquarters in Versailles. Although, here is just a small town on the outskirts of Paris. However, it is famous here. In the Franco-Prussian War decades ago, after the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Second French Empire, William I was crowned emperor here and established a unified German Empire.
Of course, that has become an eternal pain in the hearts of all French people. France and Germany have thus become old enemies.
However, in this war, Germany once again had the absolute upper hand. The German army occupied Versailles again. The whole of Paris has fallen into the siege of the German army. It can be said that Germany is not far from victory in this war.
"Your Highness!" General Crook, commander of the 1st Army Corps, beamed with joy. The left-wing group won a big victory on the battlefield of Rouen, so that William II sent a telegram to commend him. This made Admiral Crook very happy.
"General Crook, I set up the headquarters here, won't it affect you?" Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Your Highness, you are too polite. It is our honor that you can set up the headquarters in the defense zone of the First Army. Besides, Versailles is a famous city. The glory of the German Empire was established here. I believe that, Under the leadership of His Highness, the German Empire will usher in new glory here." General Crook has completely convinced Qin Tian. Qin Tian's performance has almost conquered everyone in the German Army. Everyone believed that Qin Tian would be the future leader of the German Empire.
Qin Tian nodded: "General Bilo, General Dimling, and General Ludendorff came to see me. Before launching an attack on Paris, we need to discuss how to attack."
"Yes, Your Highness." Major General Manstein immediately went to make arrangements.
On the afternoon of April 16, the commanders of the German 1st Army, 2nd Army, 5th Army and 8th Army all arrived at the headquarters in Versailles. Everyone's faces were beaming. None of them seemed to have imagined that this time the battle would go so smoothly. In just half a month, they had already approached the city of Paris. As long as Paris is taken, the possibility of the French continuing to resist is very small. Of course, even if the French continue to fight, the German army has enough strength to defeat them. This undoubtedly means that Germany is not far from winning the final victory of the war.
"Everyone, now, Paris is close at hand. As long as we win Paris, then this battle can almost come to an end. However, I hope that everyone will not be proud in the next attack on Paris. After all, although the French army has been severely damaged by us, there is still a long way to go before they are defeated. If we are defeated in the city of Paris due to complacency and negligence, it will completely ruin the empire's hegemony. I don't want that to happen." Qin Tian said.
The so-called half-ninety people who travel a hundred miles are now only one step away from Germany defeating France. He also knew that the continuous victories made many officers and soldiers a little proud and complacent. Qin Tian didn't want this to affect the next battle.
"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing Qin Tian's serious expression, several commanders immediately replied.
"For the attack on Paris, let's attack the center of Paris according to the current garrison of the legions! Although, according to the information we have obtained, there are still half a million British and French troops in Paris. However, I hope that we can take the Go to Paris. At the latest, this time cannot exceed two weeks." Qin Tian said.
Although, it seems a bit too unrealistic to take down Paris within two weeks and at the same time eliminate hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the British and French coalition forces inside. However, the commanders of several army groups believed that this was not impossible. After all, the elite troops of the British and French allied forces were almost wiped out by them in the previous battles. Most of the rest are new troops that have just been formed and have poor training. Facing the elite troops of the German army, it is no wonder that they can withstand it.
"Your Highness, it is difficult to take Paris within a week. However, there should be no problem in taking Paris within two weeks." Admiral Crook said.
"Yes, Your Highness. The fighting will of the British and French allied forces has been completely shattered by us. I believe that the British and French allied forces in Paris are also not determined to fight us to the end." Admiral Dimlin also said.
"Your Highness, the French undoubtedly made a mistake when they deployed their troops to defend Paris. They should not have placed the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force in Paris. After all, Paris is the capital of the French, not the British. The French may come to fight us for Paris, but the British will not." Lieutenant General Ludendorff also said.
Qin Tian couldn't help laughing, he guessed that Marshal Xiafei probably didn't think so much at the time.
"Since this is the case, our chances of winning Paris will be even greater. I hope that we will be able to win soon." Qin Tian said.
"The empire will win!" Several generals were full of confidence.
At this moment, Major General Manstein came in.
"Your Highness, a domestic telegram." Major General Manstein handed the telegram to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian took the telegram and looked at it, and his face immediately turned a little ugly.
"Your Highness, has something happened?" Major General Ludendorff asked.
"Humph! This is a telegram from His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty said that there are many so-called artists in China who claim that Paris is a capital of art. The buildings inside are all cultural relics. When we attack Paris, we must Pay attention to protecting those buildings. If those buildings are destroyed, it will cause the loss of the artistic wealth of all mankind." Qin Tian said. However, his expression was full of teasing.
"Fart! Do you want us to not fire artillery when we attack Paris? Do we not bomb? In that case, wouldn't it be that our soldiers are sent to die? Those shameless guys, if they want to say that, they will go to Paris by themselves Shoot it down." Admiral Crook immediately became angry.
"Yes! Your Highness. Our advantage lies in our firepower. If we abandon this aspect, it will be impossible to win Paris within two weeks. Even our losses will definitely exceed expectations." General Luo also said.
Qin Tian nodded: "Your Majesty just forwarded the telegram to us, and did not force us to abide by it. I have always believed that the lives of soldiers are the most important thing to report. As for those works of art and cultural relics, let them To **** with it!"
