On the third night, the secret room meeting was held as usual.
Look at this, Arras's detailed battle report is here. Lyotei has first-hand information.
Qin Zhiyuan, who had just entered the door, hung his coat on the coat rack behind the door and wore only a shirt. The weather has turned warm in April, and there is no need for a heavy windbreaker anymore. The clothes he ordered last year are still there.
After finishing it, Qin Zhiyuan is now wearing a suit with exquisite workmanship and fine texture. If you don't look at the skin color, he really looks no different from a Westerner.
Oh, look at this, the commander of the German Sixth Army, General Ludwig von Falkenhausen, was dismissed. It seems that Ludendorff was very dissatisfied with him. Qin Zhiyuan is concerned about the personnel transfer in Germany.
Countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and France are very closely intertwined with each other. If the French don’t have many secrets from the Germans, then the Germans don’t have many secrets from the French either. Because of this, the differences between these countries
It is difficult to carry out covert operations. All battles are almost head-to-head confrontations, seriously lacking in tactical surprise.
Yes, Ludwig did not implement Ludendorff's new tactics, but still used the same tactics as at Verdun and the Somme, using human sea tactics and a continuous front to deal with the Canadian attack, so the Germans lost Vimy Ridge.
In other areas except Vimy Ridge, the British did not get any benefits. The expression on Lyautey's face was unclear whether he was relieved or heavy.
The relationship between the British and the French is very delicate. They are wary of each other and dependent on each other. Therefore, Lyautey's attitude towards the British is that he neither wants the British to win a major victory nor wants the British to collapse quickly. In short, he said
Well, the British just need to keep up with the French.
This is also a serious problem that has existed since the war began, that is, the British and French cannot form good coordination. Now that the Americans are added to the mix, the situation is even more complicated. There is already a voice calling for the establishment of a joint command. This is true for everyone.
They all agreed, but could not reach a unified understanding on the choice of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
Ludendorff seemed very capable and Qin Zhiyuan was interested.
In those areas where the British have not made progress, when the British start to attack, facing the superior strength of the British, the Germans will abandon their positions, then induce the British to a predetermined battlefield, and use the guns that have been determined to shoot the elements.
Artillery and machine guns dealt a heavy blow to the British, before the Germans would launch a counterattack to retake previously abandoned positions.
This tactic was a new tactic implemented only after Ludendorff took office, and it was completely different from Falkenhayn's hard-fought tactics. From another perspective, Ludendorff's tactics were only as good as Qin Zhiyuan's avoidance of reality.
, which aroused Qin Zhiyuan's strong fighting spirit.
Fighting is just like playing chess. You always have to meet your opponent and have good talents.
He is indeed very methodical. His tactics are very flexible. He does not stick to the gains and losses of one moment and one place. He concentrates superior forces to annihilate the enemy's effective forces. Such an opponent is always a headache. Foch agreed with Qin Zhiyuan's view.
Ever since Julie wore the bracelet given by Qin Zhiyuan and dangled it in front of Foch several times, Foch's attitude towards Qin Zhiyuan was very different from before. Now Foch privately treats Qin Zhiyuan as harshly as an elder.
, but when it came to making decisions on major matters, Foch and Qin Zhiyuan maintained a high degree of consistency.
This feeling made Qin Zhiyuan very useful.
Due to family reasons, Qin Zhiyuan did not enjoy much father's love. From Foch, Qin Zhiyuan could feel the same generosity and broad-mindedness as his father.
Not only towards Qin Zhiyuan, Foch also treated others like this, but also towards the relationship between countries. This trait of Foch has attracted widespread praise, and some people are now proposing that Foch serve as the planned joint command of the Chinese Allied Forces
The position of Commander-in-Chief.
I have a hunch that our Mr. Nivele will be in big trouble. Qin Zhiyuan is not optimistic about the upcoming Sherman-Dedam offensive.
The British attack had started for three days, but Nivelle was still carrying out seemingly endless artillery bombardments. It seemed that Nivelle would not commit ground troops unless all the artillery shells were used up.
Even if ground troops are deployed, what awaits Nivelle will be a disastrous defeat. I hope Nivelle can seriously read the British army's battle report in Arras, otherwise, the French will pay a heavier price than the British. However, with the
Qin Zhiyuan knew about Nivele, and Nivele would probably not take it seriously. Even if he did, it would be just to watch the British jokes and not learn any lessons from it.
My factory has been working overtime, but it still can't keep up with the consumption on the front line. If this continues, the workers will be exhausted. Old Renault sighed quietly.
The Renault factory is almost reaching its limit. The workers are getting more and more tired, and the time they can concentrate is getting shorter and shorter. The factory has changed from two shifts to three shifts. This does not change the fact that the workers are too tired.
To change the status quo, there is no other way but to increase the number of workers.
On the other hand, this has also improved Qin Zhiyuan's status in the mind of the old Renault. The old Renault has already asked Qin Zhiyuan for more manpower and promised that the training content will no longer be limited to manufacturing. Qin Zhiyuan readily agreed.
If more Chinese enter the research and development field, this will be the biggest benefit to Qin Zhiyuan.
We always have to suffer a lot before we think of a different approach. Clemenceau was helpless.
Clemenceau's Prisoner can sell 100,000 copies every day. This is the only channel for him to make his voice heard now. Unless Paul Parevi proves unable to save France, Raymond will never use Clemenceau.
If we do something, will Paul be removed from power early? Old Leno is very imaginative.
Old Reno was referring to manipulating the arms supply. If there was a problem with logistics, Nivelle would definitely not be able to win; if there was a problem with Nivelle, Paul would step down. This is a domino-like chain relationship.
Old Renault doesn't understand military affairs, but judging from the battle report, if the tactics are against each other, then Nivelle has the possibility of winning, which is what Old Renault doesn't want to see. Old Renault is a businessman, and in order to win, Old Renault can use any method
.
But Old Reno's words obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of Foch and Lyautey. As soon as Old Reno finished speaking, Foch frowned and Lyotey also widened his eyes. Both of them were soldiers, and what they hated most was
He was charging forward, but someone stabbed him in the back.
No, absolutely, no, even if I never get ahead, we can't stand in the way at this time. Clemenceau is determined.
Although he is a politician, Clemenceau is also a patriotic politician. He can use small means to defeat his political opponents, but it will never harm the national interests. Perhaps it is because of this that Clemenceau won Foch.
