The development of the matter was just as Mayinz had expected. When Gaul began to encourage the continuation of the war against Germany in order to completely solve the Hans problem, other than their younger brother, Billy, who planned to make a fortune from Hans with them, the other countries were not interested in the proposal at all!
It wasn't just the Falcon people who publicly expressed their opposition to a new war against Germany. Even the people of Sun Never Sets, who shared a lot of common interests with Gaul, didn't choose to stand on Gaul's side this time.
As a result, the final result was that the Gaul could only play bare-chested with his younger brother Billy!
Faced with this situation, the huge rock that was pressing down on Marshal Hindeburg's chest finally fell to the ground.
"Good boy, your speculation is very accurate. You actually expected the British and American troops to stay out of it. Now that we only need to face the defeated French army, this battle will be much easier to fight!”
Before the United States and Britain made a clear statement, Marshal Hindeburg had been under a lot of pressure.
He knew that the allied countries were very strong. He was not the only one who knew this. The German troops at the front line also knew this. If not for this, the Second Empire would not have surrendered.
At this time, the situation of the German army was even worse than when they were defeated and surrendered. After all, they still had the full support of the Second Reich at that time. Now, the Weimar Republic was not on the same side as the military, and there were uprisings and unrest everywhere in the country. There was no way to concentrate all the strength to support the army to resist the enemy's invasion.
Therefore, on the surface, the German army seemed to have more than a million people, but in fact, this army was very short of weapons and ammunition. It was likely that they could only support a large-scale battle. After the battle, it would be difficult to replenish their weapons and ammunition. Their combat effectiveness would drop rapidly!
If they were facing the attack of the entire allied countries, they would naturally not be a match for them. However, if they were only facing the attack of Gaul, they would still have a chance!
"Marshal, even though there are only two countries, Gaul and Billy, we still can't let our guard down. After all, the other side can get the support of a complete military system, but we don't have such a stable rear!”
Major Maynz was not overwhelmed by the good news. Instead, he was unusually calm.
The old marshal nodded." You're right. It's indeed a little too early to be happy. If the Gauls want to fight a war of national annihilation with us, then we're afraid that we'll still lose. However, if we teach the Gauls a lesson and let them know how powerful we are, then they won't dare to continue acting rashly. This is still possible!”
The old marshal didn't have many harsh words. He wasn't the kind of person who liked to talk glibly, so he immediately used practical actions to prove that what he said wasn't empty talk!
After receiving the news that the French army was preparing to launch an attack, the German army immediately began to move. The troops on the front line rushed to the front line to prepare for battle, while the General Staff began to formulate a battle plan. They planned to teach the Gauls a lesson and vent their anger!
"Marshal, the Gauls can mobilize up to 1.8 million troops, but I don't think they can mobilize so many troops. Therefore, the General Staff estimates that the French army will mobilize about 500,000 to 1.2 million troops to attack us!”
In the General Staff, a group of staff officers surrounded Marshal Hindeburg and discussed the war with serious expressions.
The first thing they had to figure out was the number of French troops participating in the war. This was based on the information they had received from Gaul. According to the information they had in the past, the staff officers had given a range of troops that the French army could deploy. Based on this range, they would formulate different countermeasures.
50-120 The range of 10,000 was too wide, which made it difficult to formulate a battle plan. Therefore, Marshal Hindeburg turned his head to look at Major General Harut, who had led the team to the mainland of Galoth, and wanted to hear his opinion.
Major General Harrut saw the old marshal's gaze and felt a little unconfident. He stammered for a long time before giving a figure that was similar to the General Staff. 500,000 to 1 million.
Marshal Hindeburg was obviously very dissatisfied with Major General Harrut's answer, so he continued to ask the others. The others were not even as knowledgeable as Major General Harrut, so the answers they gave were naturally even more ridiculous!
The old marshal was very angry, so he called out Mayinz's name in public.
"Major Mayinz, answer this question. How many troops do you think the French army will invest?”
With a swoosh, everyone in the General Staff looked at Major Mayinz.
Before this, no one had paid attention to this young officer. After all, he was really too young.
But at this moment, he had become the center of attention because of the old marshal's words.
"500,000 at most!"
Major Mayinz ignored everyone's gazes and stared at Marshal Hindeburg as he replied loudly.
Weng!
As soon as he said this, everyone in the staff officer department began to discuss.
"How is that possible? 500,000 troops, weren't the Gauls too arrogant?”
"That's right. We have more than a million people in our hands. Don't the Gauls know?”
"In my opinion, the Gauls should at least send in all their troops!”
……
The focus of everyone's discussion was obviously on what Major Maynz had just said. Obviously, no one agreed with his deduction because the figure of 500,000 was obviously unreasonable.
As long as the French army was not stupid, they would know how many people the German army had. Under such circumstances, using far fewer troops than the German army to launch an attack, was it not suicide?
"What's the reason?"
Marshal Hindeburg's first reaction was the same as everyone else's. He also doubted the accuracy of Major Maynz's statement, but he did not immediately object because he thought of Major Maynz's previous achievements. This guy was not a boastful person.
According to his observation and understanding of Mayinz, this guy didn't have many harsh words. He didn't speak easily, but once he made a judgment, he wouldn't change it easily. Previously, he predicted that the United States and Britain wouldn't join the war, and Marshal Hindeburg didn't believe it either. However, later events proved that his judgment was right.
So this time, the old marshal chose to believe his words.
However, just because the old marshal believed it, it didn't mean that others would believe it. Thus, he needed Major Maynz to give a reasonable explanation to convince the others!
