    This is a smart man. Of course, Weygand's plan is actually tantamount to selling out Britain and Russia. After all, Britain, Russia and some North American troops are now going all out to attack Prague, and the 600,000 French troops on the Franco-German border are holding back  Nearly 400,000 German troops were killed. Once the French troops withdraw, the Germans will indeed not take the opportunity to invade France again, but they will strengthen their presence on the Prague front to defeat the British, Russian and American coalition forces.  om But if you don¡¯t sell your allies, France will be in trouble. The northern half of France has been completely beaten. If the Spaniards break through the defense line in the Pyrenees, the southern half of France will definitely be beaten as well. France will become the center of this war.  The worst loser, in this case it can only be sold, and it must be sold.  Wei Gang was a smart man, and Foch was certainly not stupider than him. After figuring this out, he immediately took a car to Bordeaux overnight, which was only a three-hour drive anyway. After arriving in Bordeaux, he first lobbied to replace Joffre as General Staff Officer.  The elder P¨¦tain then went to Prime Minister Clemenceau and President Farier. Soon all the French dignitaries in Bordeaux were secretly summoned to study the situation, especially Foch who concluded that if he did not do this, then half of the  The Pyrenees defense line will inevitably collapse within a month, and then the Spaniards will march straight into the major cities in southern France. At that time, be prepared to move the capital again.  Moreover, after the Chinese Army arrives in large numbers, it will definitely continue to attack northward using Spain as a base. At that time, the entire France will inevitably fall. People are smart these days. Whoever captures the territory of another country will not lose face. By then, France  The south will definitely be plundered, and they will have to continue to pay compensation after defeat, so the best way is to withdraw everyone and establish an unbreakable defense line on the border between France and Spain. As for the sea, it is nothing more than a mine blockade.  When the Western Allied Forces cannot break through the defense lines in the Pyrenees Mountains, they can force them in other directions, such as the British, where all troops are trapped on the battlefield and cannot retreat.  Then let Britain be reduced to ruins, and France just needs to keep the south from being destroyed.  His lobbying immediately moved Farier and Clemenceau.  In fact, there is no point in continuing this war for France now. Basically everything that can be lost has been lost, including Paris and the northern territories that have been recovered. Don't have any illusions about these. The Germans will never  If you let it go, let alone the colonies, the French still have this awareness. If so, what's the point?  If there was not a trace of dignity to support it, of course the main reason is that the 30 billion pounds is too scary. At this time, the French government would have decided to go to Yang Feng to beg for mercy.  After thinking about it.  The French General Staff immediately and quietly issued an order to the French commanders on the German-French border to retreat southward in batches secretly. Anyway, they and the British did not have a unified command system. They all fought against each other.  The army is mainly responsible for the front from Luxembourg to Switzerland. They put the main force on the train and transport it southward, leaving the command system there to support the structure. The original attack on the German army was stopped directly. Naturally, they stopped the German army on the opposite side and had no interest in launching an attack.  .  Including the transportation of troops southward also in a secret way.  The French did very well at this point. They had withdrawn more than 200,000 people before they were discovered by their allies. The stunned British immediately ran to find P¨¦tain.  As a result, P¨¦tain also deceived them that they were only forced to make small-scale maneuvers to strengthen the Pyrenees defense line, and did not give way to the German-French border.  The British didn¡¯t think much about it. It was not surprising that they strengthened the Pyrenees defense line. After all, the situation there was extremely dangerous.  And the British didn't know how much they had withdrawn.  Just after the British discovered it, the Germans on the opposite side also discovered that the French army was following them in an empty city strategy. William immediately realized that the situation was abnormal.  He knew better than the British how many French troops were on the opposite side of him. After confirming that at least one-third of the French troops had withdrawn from the trenches, this guy no longer cared about whether there was a conspiracy and left without hesitation.  An army group was withdrawn from the German-French border and strengthened to the Prague defense line.  The strengthening of the German army was immediately felt by the British on the opposite side. Only then did they pay serious attention to the French. When they discovered that not only were their allies not moving on a small scale, but nearly half of the French troops on the front line had disappeared, the British immediately understood that this  The allies were betraying themselves. The furious British ambassador went directly to the French Prime Minister's Office and spat at Clemenceau for two hours without grace, and even threatened to stop providing supplies to the French army.  At this point, we are at odds anyway. Clemenceau threatened that if the British dared to stop supplying supplies to France, then France would find Yang Feng alone to surrender. Anyway, we are already like this. At that time, we will not only surrender, but we will also directly surrender to Spain.  Let go of more than one million troops.  Now the British were also dumbfounded.  But they also knew that it was necessary for the entire Entente to have France block the Spanish in the Pyrenees. Otherwise, China would be able to penetrate into the heart of Europe through Spain. But if this line of defense can be held,, and then if all the ports are blocked with mines as the French said, then the Chinese will definitely not be able to land from the French flanks in a short time, they will not be able to break through from the front, and they will not be able to land from the flanks, which means they will continue to be blocked outside the main body of the European continent.  Therefore, with no other choice, the British could only acquiesce to the French's behavior. Now France played a more thorough role and simply withdrew all remaining French troops on the German-French border to the south. Six hundred thousand soldiers had been tempered by five years of war.  The elite quickly reversed the battlefield situation. After all, the Spanish army's combat effectiveness was much worse than that of the French, and the Spanish army's elite were all in the Americas, where their most important interests lay. They had more than twice the numerical advantage before.  , coupled with the help of maritime battleships and aerial bombers, they could suppress France. However, when this numerical advantage disappeared and all the French forces were concentrated on the southern front, the Spanish could no longer hold on.  The French concentrated the forces of three armies in Perpignan to launch a counterattack. The Spaniards, who were suddenly attacked so fiercely, retreated again and again and were driven back to Barcelona. In order to prevent Barcelona from being captured by the French army, the Spaniards had to fight again.  Reinforcements were mobilized from the Bayonne front, and Foch seized the opportunity to concentrate his forces to launch a counterattack as well. Moreover, the continuous rain and snow limited the bombing of carrier-based aircraft. The Spaniards, who had lost sight of one thing and the other, were defeated again by the French army and were not even allowed to attack.  Not having withdrawn all the way to Pamplona, ??the French army occupied the last section of the Pyrenees Mountains in Spain and completely blocked the Spaniards' road out of the mountains.  Immediately afterwards, the French army that attacked Barcelona also suddenly withdrew. Their original plan was to attack the east and attack the west, mobilizing Spanish reinforcements to create conditions for Foch. In this way, the front line on the French-Spanish border was forced into Spain, and the Spaniards also  With the passage out of the mountain lost, the French forwards even approached Bilbao. This stretch of mountainous jungle became France's best barrier.  "It's not a big deal, it's just a small defeat, and strategically our goal has been achieved. Don't we just want the French to come back?" Emperor Yang said nonchalantly to the Spanish Ambassador to China, who was  When he came to ask for help, Alfonso XIII was afraid that the Allied Powers would take beating him as the main target. After all, keeping Spain would be a great disaster to the Allied Powers. Everyone knew that Spain would be the base for China to launch deep attacks into Europe. If  If Spain can be solved, it will be impossible for the Chinese fleet to launch a landing operation even if it arrives.  A landing operation that travels tens of thousands of kilometers is completely a fantasy. Even with the strength of the Chinese, it is impossible to achieve this. But with Spain as an advanced base, it is different. Whether it is landing in Italy or the United Kingdom, it is a fantasy.  A very simple thing.  In fact, the British did think about doing this, but the French didn't do it. They only had one million troops in total. If they went to Spain to fight, even if they could destroy Spain, almost all of them would be dead. What a pity.  France only returns these one million young men, so it¡¯s unlikely that they will all be involved in this war, right?  "Please rest assured, your Emperor and Prime Minister, that such a thing will never happen, and I will not allow such a thing to happen. If the French army dares to attack your country in depth, then I will order the Jingzhi formation to speed up northward.  , they are now only 6,000 kilometers away from Spain, and they will arrive in a few days faster. At that time, they will gather four aircraft carriers. As long as the French dare to attack Barcelona, ??then the 400 carriers on these four aircraft carriers will attack their major southern cities.  Everything is in ruins." Yang Feng comforted the Spanish ambassador viciously.  In fact, he was not worried about such a thing happening at all. The French's intention to abandon the border defense between France and Germany was already obvious. To put it bluntly, they were no longer prepared to care about the affairs of the entire Entente group. They would just keep their hometown in the future. For  Emperor Yang is very willing to encourage this kind of rational behavior, so he is very satisfied with the current battle situation in the Pyrenees Mountains. He is prepared that the French will not continue to attack south and he will not let the Spanish attack north. Everyone  It would be nice to play with the tacit understanding and then watch the bloody battle between Britain, Russia and Germany in the north.  And the facts proved that his guess was absolutely correct. After the French army forced the Spaniards out of the Pyrenees, they stopped moving forward and built a series of fortifications on the spot.  With the cover of ten kilometers of high mountains and dense forests, the threats to them from naval guns at sea and bombers overhead were greatly reduced.  While building fortifications, the French also took advantage of the night to lay mines outside all the ports along their coast, such as Nantes, Bordeaux, Brest In short, all the ports that could support large-scale operations were sealed with mines. If that didn't work, they would simply sink the ships.  Including those useless old warships, they were dragged out and scuttled on the waterway, completely posing as if they wanted to isolate themselves from the world.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
