German Sixth Army suddenly appeared in the north of the Gaul capital, and quickly advanced southward, heading straight for the Iron Tower City!
This news immediately caused panic in Gaul!
“When did this German army appear here, and why did we have no prior intelligence about it?”
“The key point is that they didn’t come earlier or later, but came at this time. This is really strange!”
“Don’t worry about these things now, let’s think of a way to protect the safety of Iron Tower City!”
The news of the German army’s massive attack made the Gallic government in Iron Tower City panic. Everyone talked about it and discussed it for a long time, but they couldn’t come up with a solution!
At this time, the troops stationed in Iron Tower City added up to less than two divisions. Even if the police force in the city and the students in the military academy were added together, they could only barely gather 100,000 people!
These 100,000 people seem to be a lot, but their quality is very pessimistic. Facing the attack of an entire German army group, no one knows whether they can stop the enemy!
“Where are the troops from Maginot? Why haven’t they arrived yet?”
Realizing that he could not protect the capital by his own strength, President Gaul suddenly became anxious! President
Dumelo began to regret that he should not have listened to the British and should not have sent out the army to protect the capital. Now, after the army left, the enemy took advantage of the opportunity to enter. They no longer had any other troops to mobilize, and could only watch the enemy rush over!
“They had previously sent a telegram saying that the railway in the Nancy area had been bombed, so they could not use the railway for transportation and could only travel by road. Calculating the time, it would take at least two days to arrive!”
“Two days? By the time they arrive, our flowers will be cold!”
“What should we do now? The Germans are right in front of us, and we don’t have enough troops to defend!”
“In my opinion, we must leave Iron Tower City now!”
“No, absolutely not. Iron Tower City is our capital. How can we easily abandon our capital?”
“But if you don’t abandon it, how can you defend the capital?”
“Even if we can’t defend it, we will try our best to fight for this city until we die!”
“Haha, everyone can say nice things and fight to the death, but why don’t you take up arms and fight at the front line?”
……
“”Okay, everyone, shut up!”
Seeing that everyone was talking more and more outrageous and about to develop to the point of attacking each other, President Dumelo slammed the table hard and roared!
Everyone finally stopped arguing, and then looked at their president in unison, waiting for President Dumelo to make a decision!
Since the president has spoken, this matter can only be solved by the president, and they don’t have any better solution on their own!
“Is General Gamelin back?”
President Dumelo certainly doesn’t want to give up his capital just like that. The Eiffel Tower is the largest city in Gaul, larger and more famous than any other city. It is the core of Gaul. If they lose it, the entire northern part of Gaul will fall.
The north happens to be the essence of Gaul. If they give up the north, they can only retreat to the Mediterranean coast in the south, where the second largest city, Marseille and Lyon, are located.
But whether it is Marseille or Lyon, their population and scale are far less than that of the Eiffel Tower, and Gaul’s industry is mainly concentrated in the north, while the south is mainly an industrial area with underdeveloped industry. Moving the capital to the south means they will lose more than half of their population and Two-thirds of the factories!
This is a huge blow to Gaul, even greater than the Hundred Years’ War with the British!
It is precisely because he can see that abandoning the Iron Tower City will have such serious consequences, so President Dumelo dare not easily abandon the capital.
He still wants to rescue it!
Didn’t the army of the Maginot Line say that it would take another two days to get back to the capital?
Then they only need to hold on for two more days. One day is spent on resisting outside and delaying the German army’s entry into the Iron Tower City as much as possible. One day is spent on defending the Iron Tower City. As long as they can stop the German army, or keep fighting in street fighting, and prevent the whole city from falling, Then there is still a chance to save the Iron Tower City!
After the outbreak of the war, Gaul has mobilized the whole country. Unlike the British Empire, their young and strong men were not sent out randomly, so they mobilized nearly six million troops in total!
This army is now rushing to the capital and the northern war front. If they can defend the Iron Tower City and prevent it from falling, then after the reinforcements arrive from all directions, they may still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!
Moreover, the British Empire also agreed to launch a landing on Hans from the sea, or try to borrow a passage from the Fairy Tale Kingdom and launch an attack on the core area of Hans from the north of Hans, so as to force Hans to surrender. Hans withdrew some troops from the front battlefield.
If this combat operation is successful, the pressure faced by the French army on the front battlefield will be greatly reduced, and the war may fall into a stalemate like World War I! At the beginning of World War I, the German offensive was equally fierce, and even invaded the northeastern region of Gaul, causing serious damage to Gaul.
However, once Gaul drags the war into a stalemate, they will be able to wear Hans out little by little in a long process of consumption!
Dumelo believes that as long as they can block the three most violent axes of the German army, then they may be able to replicate the original miracle!
However, the most critical issue now is whether they can block the three axes of the German army.���?
“He’s back. He should be here by now. Do you want him to come in?”
“Well, let him come in to see me immediately!”
President Dumelo was shocked. Gamelin was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the British Empire and Gaul at this time. He had the most detailed and comprehensive information about the entire coalition and Gaul itself!
Correspondingly, he should have a lot of information about the German army. If he could listen to his opinions and let him refer to everyone’s worries and concerns, there might be a chance to rescue!
“President, I have ordered Dai Gaole to bring his troops back to the capital immediately to provide assistance!”
The two had just met, and before President Dumelo had time to ask, Gamelin had already taken the initiative to speak!
Hearing Gamelin’s words, Dumelo was stunned.
He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
The more than 400,000 people of Dai Gaulle were besieging Sedan at this time. According to previous reports, the attack on Sedan was extremely difficult, and the German resistance was very tenacious. They paid a heavy price of tens of thousands of casualties!
However, in contrast, the casualties of the German army were also very huge. At this rate, Dai Gaulle will be able to capture Sedan in another day!
And as long as he took Sedan, the French army could immediately go north to rescue the coalition forces surrounded in the Bastogne area.
Withdrawing Dai Gaulle at this time means that Sedan, which is within reach, has been abandoned, and failing to take Sedan also means that the coalition forces in the Bastogne area will be completely surrounded and then eaten by the German army!
This is not a small force. This is the main force of the coalition forces in the east with more than 40 divisions and more than 600,000 people!
If we sit back and watch these six If more than 100,000 people are wiped out, the security situation in northern Gaul will deteriorate sharply. After eating this army, the three German armies will immediately go south and join the siege of Gaul. At that time, the war will definitely be carried out around the Iron Tower City. Even if they finally defend the Iron Tower City, they will beat the entire north in repeated tug-of-war!
This kind of thing has already happened to Gaul during World War I. The reason why that war brought such a great trauma to Gaul was that the war had been burning in their territory, so the war caused great casualties and damage to themselves, which made Gaul bleed too much. Even after so many years of war, it has not recovered!
This time, the scale of the battle between the two sides is wider, the intensity of the war will be greater, and the area of the battle is near the capital circle of the Iron Tower City, which will make Gaul’s losses even more severe! Even if Gaul finally wins this war, I am afraid they will completely fall because of too much bloodshed!
