The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Things turned out as Mainz had expected, and when the whole of Gaul began to agitate for the continuation of the war against Germany in order to find a definitive solution to the Hans question, the other countries except their younger brother, the Billy, who intended to make a fortune from Hans with them, were not interested in the proposal or were not at all interested!

Not only did the Eagle Sauce openly express their opposition to the resumption of the war against Germany, but even the Sunsetters, who had a lot of common interests with Gaul, did not choose to side with Gaul this time.

As a result, the end result was that the Gauls had to play shirtless with their younger brother Billy!

Faced with this situation, the big stone that pressed on the chest of Field Marshal Hindenburg finally fell to the ground.

"Good boy, your speculation is very accurate, you actually expected the British and American troops to stay out of the situation, and now we only need to face the defeat of the French army, and this battle will be much easier!"

Before the United States and Britain did not make a clear statement, the pressure on Field Marshal Hindenburg was always very high.

The strength of the Entente's army was very strong, of course he knew this, not only he knew it well, but the German troops at the front knew this, and if it were not for this, the Second Reich would not have been defeated and surrendered.

At this time, the situation of the German army was even worse than when they were defeated and surrendered, after all, they could still have the full support of the Second Reich at that time, and now, the Weimar Republic and the military are not of the same mind, and there are uprisings and turmoil everywhere in the country, and there is no way to concentrate all their forces to support the army against the invasion of the enemy.

Therefore, the German army seems to have more than one million people on the surface, and the soldiers are strong, but in fact, this army is very short of weapons and ammunition, and I am afraid that it can only support a large-scale battle

If they are now facing the attack of the entire Entente, they are naturally not opponents, but if they are only facing the attack of Gaul, then they still have to fight!

"Marshal, although there are only two countries, Gaul and Billy, we still can't take it lightly, after all, the other side can be supported by a complete military merit system, and we don't have such a stable rear!"

Major Mainz was not carried away by the good news at this time, but behaved unusually calmly.

The old marshal nodded, "You're right, it's a little early to be happy, if the Gauls want to fight with us to destroy the country, then I'm afraid we will still lose, but if we teach the Gauls a hard lesson, let them know how powerful we are, and then don't dare to continue to act rashly, this can still be done!"

The old marshal doesn't talk much, he is not the kind of person who likes to play tricks, so he immediately proved with practical actions that what he said was not empty words!

After receiving the information that the French army was preparing to launch an attack, the German army immediately began to act, and the troops on the front line went to the front one after another, preparing for battle, while the General Staff began to formulate a battle plan, intending to teach the Gauls a hard lesson and breathe a bad breath!

"Marshal, the Gauls have at their disposal a maximum of 1,800,000 troops, but I don't think it's likely that they will be able to send that many, so the General Staff estimates that the French will attack us with about 50-1,200,000 men!".

In the General Staff, a group of staff officers gathered around Field Marshal Hindenburg and discussed things related to the war with a serious expression.

The first thing they had to figure out was the strength of the French army, which, combined with the information coming from Gaul, had given them a range of possible French forces to deal with, and according to that range, they would formulate different countermeasures.

The range of 50-1,200,000 was too wide, which brought great difficulties to the formulation of the battle plan, so Field Marshal Hindenburg turned his head to Major General Harut, who had led the team to Gaul proper, and planned to listen to his opinion.

When Major General Harut saw the gaze cast by the old marshal, he was a little unconfident in his heart, and he hesitated for a long time, and gave a figure similar to that of the General Staff: 50-1 million.

As for this answer of Major General Harut, Field Marshal Hindenburg was obviously very dissatisfied, so he continued to ask others, who were not as knowledgeable as Major General Harut, and the answer given was naturally even more outrageous!

The old marshal was so angry that he called Mainz by name in public.

"Major Mainz, you can answer this question, how many troops do you think the French army will commit?"

With a bang, everyone in the staff looked at Major Mainz.

Before this, no one had taken this young officer to heart, after all, he was too young.

But at this time, he became the focus of attention because of the words of the old marshal.

"Up to half a million!".

Major Mainz ignored the gazes of the others, stared at Field Marshal Hindenburg without squinting, and replied loudly.

Buzz!

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the staff began to discuss.

"How is it possible? 500,000 troops, the Gauls are too big, right?".

"Yes, we have more than a million people in our hands, don't the Gauls know?"

"It seems to me that the Gauls must at least devote all their troops to the whole country!".

......

The focus of everyone's discussion was obviously on what Major Mainz had just said, and apparently everyone did not agree with his reasoning, because the figure of 500,000 seemed obviously unreasonable.

As long as the French are not stupid, it is impossible for them not to know how many Germans there are, and in this case, to attack with much less than the German army, is this not a death sentence?

"Why?".

Field Marshal Hindenburg's first reaction was the same as that of everyone else, and he doubted the accuracy of Major Mainz's statement, but he did not immediately express his dissenting attitude, because he thought of Major Mainz's previous deeds, and this guy was not a man of bombastic and big talk.

According to his observation and understanding of Mainz, this guy does not talk much, and usually does not speak easily, but once he makes a judgment, then he will never change easily, before he deduced that the United States and Britain will not enter the war, and Field Marshal Hindenburg does not believe it, but later events proved that his judgment was right.

So this time, the old marshal chose to believe his word.

However, the old marshal himself believes that it does not mean that others can believe it, so he needs Major Mainz to give a reasonable explanation for what he said to convince others!
