The Return of the King chapter 023

"War is inevitable!"

Almost at the same time, different people said the same thing on different occasions!

At the German headquarters, on Marshal Hindenburg's desk, there was a document about the German secret investigation in Tower City.

And the writing of this document The person was the Major from Mainz years ago!

The Major was very pessimistic about the next situation. He concluded that the French army would not be willing to give in. Even if they did not get the support of other Allied powers at the Iron Tower City Peace Conference, the French army themselves would definitely take risks.

However, there is no record of this attack in history, which means that this kind of thing either did not happen, or the impact was very small, so it was not widely recorded. However

, there is a butterfly effect in this world! Yes, Mainz's time travel can be regarded as an accident that did not occur originally, and whether his actions will cause any changes beyond the original history, Major Mainz himself does not know, but judging from the intelligence he has collected so far. , the possibility of war between Germany and France is very high.

At the same time, in the Congress of Gaul, a member of the Parliament with a military background also proposed taking military action against Hans.

This suggestion was in the country. The conference house caused huge controversy, and for a while it attracted the attention of Yingjiang, the Sun Never Sets Government, and other representatives of other countries who participated in the peace talks in Tower City.

"Gentlemen, this is the best opportunity to attack Hans. If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that such an opportunity will never appear again in the future!"

The military representatives continued to encourage other congressmen, while patting their chests and saying:"With only half a million troops, in three months at most, we can completely eradicate Hans' resistance. By then we will This hidden danger in the east can be completely solved, and the Republic will gain peace for at least fifty years!"

It has to be said that the pie painted by the military is still very attractive to the congressmen. Instigated by the rising national sentiment, these congressmen obviously lost their minds and stood up one after another to support the military. The representatives applauded and clearly stated their support for the military's expansion plan!

Soon, the proposal was passed with high votes in both houses of the National Assembly and the Senate. Except for a very small number of rationalists, almost everyone else fell into war. In the midst of the frenzy!

And in this case, the dark clouds of war once again filled the sky over the European continent!

"Major, where do you think the Allied attack will begin?"

Since there is more and more intelligence proving that war is imminent, Marshal Hindenburg will naturally not sit still and wait for death.

Although the Weimar Republic cannot afford to fight this war at this time, it is impossible for the German nation to be immune to the invading foreign enemies. There was no response.

So on the one hand, the old marshal quickly sent people to communicate with the Weimar Republic government to seek help and support from the government, and on the other hand, he also began to step up preparations for war.

At this time, more than three months had passed since the end of the First World War!

More than three months is not a long time, but the German soldiers who retreated from the front line generally got timely rest and recuperation, and because they had prepared to streamline the army before, although the size of the German army at this time increased from more than 300 Thousands of people dropped to more than 1.

5 million, and less than half of the troops were disbanded.

However, the remaining troops were all veterans who had fought hard battles on the battlefield, and even fought back when they learned that the motherland might be invaded.

After the danger of destruction, these soldiers were generally very angry and wanted to go to the battlefield immediately to beat the Gauls!

The high morale of the army was the reason why Marshal Hindenburg felt confident that he could fight against the Allied forces, but the old marshal's There is always some worry in my heart.

Although the strength of this German army looks good, those who know the inside story should understand that this is just an appearance, and beneath the surface, this army hides huge hidden worries.

"Marshal, I think the attack this time is not the Allied forces, but mainly Gaul, with at most the troops of a third-rate country such as Belgium's division!"

"oh? Do you think the United States and Britain will not intervene in the war?"

Marshal Hindenburg was very interested after hearing Mainz's words and asked

"Although I am not 100% sure, I think that the United States and Britain are not very interested in this war, especially Yingjiang. They have achieved their goals and continue to provoke war. It does not mean much to them, and they are laissez-faire. Lu dismembers us, which will cause Gaul to eat most of the fruits of victory, which will undoubtedly directly harm Yingjiang's own national interests, so I think they will not only not send troops, but may even be held back in the rear!"

Major Mainz did not disclose his private meeting with President Will, but regardless of whether he met Will or not, it is easy to deduce these conclusions!

Marshal Hindenburg was dubious about Mainz's words, because In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Eagle Sauce and Gaul is very good.

As early as the North American War of Independence, King Louis XVI of Gaul sold iron, bankrupted his family, and even lost his life to help the Eagle Sauce people fight against the Japanese.

If the Never Set Empire had not received strong assistance from Gaul or even directly participated in the war, it is hard to say whether North America could have become independent from the Never Set Empire.

Gaul relied on its kindness to aid North America in fighting the Sun Never Set. The relationship with Eagle Sauce has been very good over the years. During World War I, Eagle Sauce finally chose to join the Allies and participate in the World War. A large part of the reason was because of the relationship with Gaul. At that time, Marshal Joffre of Gaul tried his best to persuade him. , this persuaded Yingjiang to finally join the war!

In Marshal Hindenburg's opinion, since the relationship between Yingjiang and Gaul is so good, Gaul's actions are likely to be supported by Yingjiang.

However, Major Mainz categorically believed that the Eagles would not betray the reputation of the Gauls. This made him feel a little confused for a while. He did not know whether to trust his own judgment or Major Mainz's inference.

"Major, do you know that sitting in my position, once I make a wrong decision, the fate of the entire country, or even the entire nation, may be at stake!"

What the old marshal said was very serious. He wanted to tell the major that national affairs are not a child's play and there is no room for sloppiness. Once a mistake is made, the consequences are incalculable. The price is too high and no one can afford it!

"I trust my judgment!"

Major Mainz thought for a while after hearing the old marshal's words, and finally nodded firmly.

He understood the old marshal's worries, but he was equally confident in his own judgment!
