"We can still rely on layers of defense lines, solid fortifications, and advantageous artillery to block the opponent's advance. The Western Front is different from other battlefields. Almost every inch of land is a fortress! Bavaria lacks enough heavy attack weapons such as train guns. Even if they have advanced equipment like wolf tanks, it is more of a tactical advantage. We may not be able to drag our opponents to death like before." Nivelle said.

"It's different. Of course, it's really difficult for an advanced weapon to play a decisive role. However, when the number and type of new weapons in the opponent's army reaches a certain level, it will inevitably lead to a qualitative change in the tactics. If a commander can grasp this qualitative change, it will be completely subversive for the battle situation." Betton said.

"So, General Betan, do you think the Bavarian Legion has developed a stronger tactic based on this?" asked General Heg.

"That's right, and it has been experimented on the battlefield. During the attack of the Bavarian Legion, we cannot even see an infantryman advancing with his legs, a tank that attacks sharp blades, an armored infantry conveyor vehicle behind him, and a support gun group composed of crawler or wheeled self-propelled artillery. Their attack speed and strength are simply terrifying, and they can completely break through our positions and develop rapidly in depth!"

"Our previous commando tactics could only solve the problem of tearing open positions, but they could not solve the problem of attacking in depth, which means that they are powerful but lack of stamina. After all, the number of equipment carried by personnel is limited, and the speed of supporting firepower such as artillery is also very slow, so we have enough time to make up for the loopholes on the front line and mobilize reinforcements to block the gap. But now, everything is different. Their reaction speed is fast enough that the entire battle situation has been overturned before we arrange the measures." Betton said.

"I have seen this in General Xiafei's report." Gallieni held his eyes and said expressionlessly. "And some people think this is a relief for his failure to fight."

"This is absolutely unreasonable. In the battle situation in Asia Minor, as long as the field battle broke out between the two sides, we have never won the gap in strength as long as it is not too big. In the last battle, the German army's offensive speed was very fast. They used trucks to maneuver, while our large number of troops could only use carriages, and the speed of the two sides could be about 4 times different! It was too late to draw troops from other directions. I thought Minister Galieni could have a more intuitive conclusion about the difference in transportation capacity between the two sides!" After Betton finished speaking, he looked at the French Army Minister meaningfully.

"Haha." Gallieni was a little embarrassed. Betan's words implicitly accused him! Although there was no Battle of the Marne in this plane, Gallieni's other feat was still continued in this plane. This is the so-called "taxi" mobility! In history, before the Battle of the Marne, the French used 1,200 taxis in Paris to transport a brigade's troops overnight to 50 kilometers away.

As for this plane, Gallieni carried forward this "feat". He directly ordered the concentration of most of France's civilian motor vehicles as an assault transportation force. It was precisely because of these thousands of transport vehicles that greatly enhanced the French's combat deployment capabilities.

Beidang said this vaguely, expressing the injustice of Xiafei's experience. After all, Xiafei may have problems with some small issues, but there is really nothing wrong with the big strategy. If the right and wrong are wrong, I am afraid that General Xiafei did not run back to the landing site directly with the remaining troops? However, it was almost impossible to continue to retreat under the circumstances at that time, and had nothing to do with military issues. It was impossible to simply political conditions!

"And, on the Western Front, our artillery and air superiority are actually not obvious. Under the current circumstances, the long-range artillery and air force of both sides are at a roughly balanced level. If the legions of the Kingdom of Bavaria enter the Western Front, the situation will be completely different, because at this time, the Austrian legion may also participate in the Western Front. Although their combat effectiveness is not high, it can provide a large number of heavy artillery troops for the German army. In addition, the Bavarian air force, it is not surprising that the British and French coalition forces are at a disadvantage on the Western Front." Betton concluded.

In fact, when Germany launched its last offensive in history, the front-line troops were still less than the Allies (although if there were a few numbers, the Germans might be more.) Technical equipment was also a disadvantage. However, relying on the quality of the army, the British and French coalition forces were still not bad. This is still the case in this plane. According to the battles over the past year, even the most proud commander of the British and French coalition forces had to admit that when the troops were close, the German army could gain a greater tactical advantage in both offense and defense. If the opponent's troops and technical equipment counter-suppress the Allies, then the result of this battle was known with knees!

"Maybe, the Germans cannot completely kill us through a battle, but they can exhaust our national strength and combat power through continuous attacks. If this continues, then France's elites and future will be exhausted on the battlefield!" Betton said tactfully at the end.

"The British Empire is willing to do its best to help France resist the invasion from the Germans. We will shrink our troops and draw more troops from Australia, New Zealand, and Canada to join the Western Front. After a winter preparation time, we can also draw the troops from Africa and India. Next year, we can add at least 500,000 more troops." At this time, General Heg made an unexpected statement!

"Is it 500,000? If possible, I hope that the elite British troops in Asia Minor can retreat to the Western Front and then participate in the defensive operations on the Western Front." Gallieni said. The French Army Minister was very good at planning. It is indeed possible to draw troops from Oceania and Canada, but it is definitely not too many. After all, these places are not small in size, but there are really not many people... and if the indigenous troops drawn from Africa and India can be good at fighting the Turks and the Hungarians, but if they have to face the Germans, they are better off doing logistics...

Therefore, it seems that there are many additional troops of 500,000, but not many troops can really fight. Moreover, even Australian and New Zealand troops, which are known for their bravery and good combat, will not be able to go to the battlefield. They need to be tempered by war.
