The Gaul was furious!

"Preposterous, really preposterous!”

The Gauls, angered by the arrogance of the German army, were so angry that they wanted to immediately march eastward and flatten the entire Hans!

"Marshal Foch, what do you think we should do?”

The big-bellied, kind-looking Marshal Xia Fei stared at his successor with bright eyes. At this moment, Marshal Foch, the most powerful figure in the Gaul military, was watching.

Marshal Bayton heard Xia Fei's words and also looked at Fuxu curiously. Obviously, he was also very interested in how Fuxu would answer Xia Fei's question.

"What do you think we should do?"

Marshal Foch was not a fool. He knew very well that these two guys had come with ill intentions. The reason why they appeared in his office must be that there were others behind them who instigated and incited them.

The victory of the first battle had caused the national sentiment in Gaul to soar to an unprecedented level. The victory of defeating their old enemy had also caused many people in the military to become arrogant.

As a result, a large number of Hawk Faction members who advocated a tough stance against Germany appeared in the military. This was not surprising at all. Not to mention these young Hawk Faction members, even Marshal Foch himself hoped that this time, he could solve the threat that Hans brought to the Republic as much as possible.

However, he would not easily reveal these thoughts. As the focus of attention, he knew very well that his words and actions were likely to be misinterpreted and used by people with ulterior motives. At that time, he was afraid that he would fall into endless trouble and disputes!

Marshal Xia Fei didn't think too much. Since Fu Xu asked for his opinion, then he couldn't care so much!

This old marshal, who had just served as a member of the Supreme Military Council, had not returned to the center of power for a long time after the Battle of the Marne River. Since he had the opportunity to intervene in this matter, Marshal Joffre naturally would not let go of this opportunity!

"I believe that since the German army has given us the opportunity to act, we must not hesitate. We should seize this opportunity decisively and completely resolve this threat!”

Perhaps he felt that his words weren't provocative enough, so he added,""Only in this way can we ensure the peace of the Republic for the next hundred years!”

Both Pétain and Foch understood what Joffre meant. Ever since the rise of the Kingdom of Princes, in addition to the Holy Roman Empire, there was another country on the European continent that could threaten Gaul. However, the Holy Roman Empire had already perished more than a hundred years ago. After the Franco-Princes War, Princes had transformed into the Hans Empire. This new empire posed an unparalleled threat to Gaul.

The defeat of the Franco-Princes War had almost changed the fate of the entire Gaul. In the face of such a terrible crisis, the entire country could not sleep or eat in peace. At this time, the huge rock that was pressing on them had finally been broken. Everyone could temporarily breathe a sigh of relief, but if they could not eliminate the root of the problem, no one could guarantee how long this peace could last. Ten years? Twenty years?

Marshal Foch nodded slightly. He understood what Xia Fei was thinking, so he turned to look at Marshal Pétain.

Among the three people present, Marshal Pétain was the youngest and his fame was not as great as the two. Xia Fei was known as the national hero who saved the Republic, and Marshal Foch was the greatest hero who led the French army to victory in the war. Compared to these two, Marshal Pétain was naturally far inferior.

Therefore, in front of the few big brothers, Marshal Bei Dang was very honest and did not dare to stand out.

"I support Marshal Xia Fei's opinion!”

Seeing that Marshal Foch was looking at him, Marshal Pétain immediately expressed his attitude. He knew very well that if he wanted to gain a better future and greater power, he had to gain more military merits in the war. If he wanted to gain military merits, he could only do so through war!

And leading the French army to destroy the entire Hans, just thinking about this credit was enough to make people look forward to it!

"In that case, I'll go see the president now!”

Marshal Foch had never expressed his attitude from the beginning to the end. Instead, he used the opinions of the two marshals to lobby the president and the prime minister.

The Gaul President, Puengale, had always advocated being tough on Germany, so he was ecstatic when he heard the military's request and immediately expressed his willingness to support the military's request.

However, Prime Minister Clemenceau was not as optimistic as the two of them. He only asked,""Will the Sun Never Sets people and the Hawkeye people agree to our military action?”

This question left the president and marshal speechless!

That's right!

The attitude of the two allies was unclear. Even if they were told about this plan, they might not agree. This was obvious from the previous peace talks.

The Hawkeye people had already made it clear that they would not accept the plan to dismember Hans. Could they still be expected to support the war plan of the allied forces to invade Hans?

"Hmph, even if they don't support us, we can still act on our own!”

Puengale was flustered and exasperated. He planned to leave his allies behind and go on his own.

Even Marshal Foch couldn't bear to listen to such brainless words, let alone Clemenceau.

He subconsciously glanced at the president and then quickly glanced at the prime minister. From the prime minister's frowning expression, he saw the prime minister's hesitation.

This made Marshal Foch ponder. It seemed that the Prime Minister was not very keen on this kind of military action!

"Marshal, what is your attitude?”

Just as Marshal Foch was distracted, Clemenceau raised his head and looked at Marshal Foch, asking for his opinion.

Clemenceau was a smart man. He clearly saw that although Marshal Foch had presented the military's attitude, it was the opinion of Joffre and Pétain, not his own.

The military action against Germany had to know the enemy and the enemy well. In this case, Prime Minister Clermenceau was particularly concerned about the attitude of Marshal Foch, who was the commander-in-chief of the Western Front of the allied countries!

"If possible, I hope Hans doesn't exist in this world!”
