The Third Reich: The Return of the King

"This must be the work of the Hans!"

In the city of Eiffel Tower, the capital of Gaul, Prime Minister Clemenceau said angrily.

Hearing his words, Marshal Xia Fei on the opposite side raised his eyebrows, isn't this a lice on a bald man's head, an obvious thing?

It's a fool who can see that this is the German army, right?

"Judging from the current situation, it is indeed the Germans who are making trouble behind it, after all, it is impossible for those workers to have so many extra weapons for no reason!"

Marshal Foch spoke.

According to Marshal Foch's assumption, it is impossible for the German army to block the actions of the German army, and the German army is too small, they only have a total of 100,000 people, compared with the millions of troops of the French army, the gap is too big, if it really fights, the French army can completely drown them with the advantage of numbers!

Second, the Germans could not afford the consequences of a full-scale war, because once the French army was lively, they could expand the scale of the war, directly send troops into the Hans capital, occupy the Hans capital, and force Hans to surrender again.

However, the current situation was somewhat different from what Marshal Foch had previously envisioned, and the Germans not only sent troops, but also divided their troops into two routes, one of which went straight to the Ruhr industrial area, blocking the advance of the French army in the Dort area, and the other part went south into the surroundings of the Saarland region, and provoked an uprising of the workers in the Saarland mining area, causing the French army's backyard to catch fire.

At present, although the initiative of the situation is still in the hands of the French army, the situation of the French army is at a disadvantage.

The way to reverse the current disadvantage is also very simple, and that is to continue to increase troops to the front.

At this time, General Henry's army was about 250,000 people, and counting the servant army of the country of Billy, he had two army groups in his hands, a total of 300,000 troops.

The strength of this army is already three times that of the German army, and it stands to reason that they cannot defeat the German army, but the actual situation is not so optimistic!

The Germans were fighting on their own soil, and they could get strong support from the local people, and the attitude of the people everywhere towards the German army's resistance to the invaders was almost the attitude of eating pot pulp and welcoming the king.

In this case, the German army only needs to fight with peace of mind, and there is no need to consider logistics, public security and other issues.

The French army was not so lucky, as invaders, after they entered the territory of Hans, they were met with fierce resistance from almost all the Hanns everywhere they went, the Hans civilians adopted a non-cooperative attitude towards the French army, the workers refused to return to work, and some retired soldiers even took up arms and began to attack the French army.

Under these circumstances, the French had to detach a large number of troops to maintain law and order in the rear and ensure the safety of their supply routes, which greatly limited their strength.

Moreover, it is almost impossible for them to get the support of the local population in a strange place, and they may even be attacked by bullets fired from nowhere at any time, which makes the French army nervous and nervous!

The situation became less clear, or rather less favorable to them, which Marshal Foch did not think about beforehand.

"Hmph, since this is the case, then increase the troops in the Saar region, defeat the German army, and by the way, advance to the Bavarian region, and knock down Mu Nihei for me!"

Clemenceau snorted coldly and ordered.

Marshal Foch wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, he heard the prime minister continue: "General Xia Fei, I know that you have always been worried about the matter of changing generals in battle, and since this is the case, this matter will be left to you to do!"

Xia Fei was overjoyed, he thought that he had no possibility of leading his troops to fight, but he didn't expect Clemenceau to give him such a task!

Marshal Xiafei who can retake over the army and serve the country will naturally not refuse, in fact, this is the opportunity he dreamed of!

Seeing Xia Fei's happy model, the marshal sighed in his heart.

Now, things are no longer out of his control!

......

The Ruhr industrial area, the city of Dort, where the general headquarters of the German front was located at this time.

"General, the French army has increased its troops!"

Himmler said to Mainz, somewhat nervously, that this was information that had just arrived from the city of Tower, the capital of Gaul.

The Gestapo's sphere of influence now covers the major countries of Europe, and with the financial support of Mainz, they have recruited and trained a large number of excellent people, and these spies are sent to various countries to carry out hidden missions.

As the traditional enemy of Hans, Gaul was the most hostile to Hans at this time, so it was taken care of, Himmler specially sent three groups of spies to Gaul, these spies were distributed in the major cities of Gaul, using various identities to lurk, they did not know each other's existence, and they were one-line contacts with their superiors.

The advantage of this is that even if the Gauls were aware of some spies, it would be difficult to find other spies through these spies, thus avoiding the Gestapo's intelligence network being wiped out by the enemy!

"Well, don't be nervous, this information is not surprising, I'm curious about where their troop buildup is in the direction, don't say it yet, let me guess!"

Major General Mainz seemed to be in a good mood, and when he saw Himmler's nervous appearance, he smiled and comforted the other party.

"I guess the direction of the Gauls' reinforcement is not the Ruhr industrial area, are they going to increase their forces in the Saarland?"

Mainz's guess was accurate, the French did not send more troops to the Ruhr industrial area, although the main German army was located here, but the French did not want to send too many troops here, because that would inevitably give the sun and eagle sauce greater stimulation.

These two countries were already dissatisfied with the actions of the French army at this time, and if they continued to expand their operations, these two countries would probably not be so dissatisfied!

"General, you are really a god, the Gauls appointed Marshal Xia Fei as the chief general, and led an army group from Lorraine to start entering the Saar region!"

"An army group?"

After hearing Himmler's information, Mainz's face finally became serious.

"Well, an army group, it seems to be the Ninth Army!"

Himmler nodded, which was why he was nervous about arriving earlier.

"There's so much an army group can do, and Kesselring is in danger on their side!"

Mainz was secretly happy in his heart, but while secretly happy, he was also a little worried about the safety of Kesselring and the others!

"Send a telegram to Kesselring and Manstein, inform them of the movements of the French army, and tell them to be on alert!"

After the German telegram came, Kesselring and Manstein's faces were a little solemn.

The strength of a French army group was at least 150,000, and with the strength of the troops originally stationed in the Saar region, the French army had at least 170,000 troops at its disposal.

And they have only one main force of the division here, in addition to the 100,000 rebel troops who have been temporarily armed.

These rebel forces seem to be numerous, but they are not from the regular army, and they have not undergone serious military training, so it is okay to harass the French army, and it is certainly impossible to expect them to go toe-to-toe with the main force of the French army.

After all, the French army is not a ragtag army of those countries in Eastern Europe, they are a serious world power.

"Looks like we're going to have to recalibrate our strategy!"

Kesselring said to Manstein very seriously, and Manstein nodded, agreeing with the other party's words.

"The Kaiserslautern region is densely forested, and I think we can use the previous experience of guerrilla warfare to break it down to zero, and harass and delay the movement of the French army here!"

"Guerrilla warfare?"

"Well, our purpose is to hold back the French army and wait for reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements?"

Kesselring smiled bitterly, where do they have any reinforcements!

"Trust me, reinforcements will come!"

Manstein's expression was unusually determined!_
