"The Germans are not normal, and the French are not normal." Lord Hamilton is still willing to give some tips when it is convenient for this outstanding junior.

"I have contacted the top leaders of the French army, and my officers have also contacted the middle and lower-level personnel of the French army. They are now very low in morale and are full of pessimism and disappointment about the prospects of the war. Some troops even have small-scale commotion. The army in this mental state has to force an attack? What if it collapses head-on? Foch and Betton are very aware of these things, but they still want to drive such troops to fight head-on with the strong Germans. If something happens, it is very likely that the entire line of collapse will be caused!" Lord Hamilton said with a gloomy face. As a master of British expeditionary force, the Lord is still very comprehensive in his view of the problem! He has already felt the decadence and frustration of the French! He is really unsure of such an army attacking.

"So, this is our last chance. If the French lose their energy to fight for the last time, then there will be no hope for this war. The French will surrender. As long as the Germans do not enter Paris, the French will probably be willing to negotiate. What should we do at that time?" Montgomery strived to do that. In fact, at this point, Montgomery has surpassed it. After all, he is a staff officer and only needs to provide advice and cannot affect the decisions of the chief officer too much!

"What should we do? This question is quite good, I want to know the answer, and even the entire British Empire wants to know." Lord Hamilton smiled bitterly. Although the news from above, the negotiations between the British and Germans were effective, and the two sides released some kindness, it is difficult for anyone to predict the specific result. Moreover, the previous negotiations were that Britain and France were still standing together to fight against the Germans, and the British still had some capital, but if the French surrendered, what if only the British were left? Perhaps the local people could avoid the war by relying on the protection of the large fleet, but what should we do if the British Expeditionary Force had more than 1.6 million troops?

Now, a complete logical chain has been formed, and the basis is that the French still want to make a last try. Therefore, the French concentrated the most elite corps on the Western Front even though they knew that they were in a bad state. If this active attack could defeat the Germans' armored spearhead, then they could still take a break in the future. Marshal Heg, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, actually saw this. If from a purely military perspective, defense is not desirable, so they also wanted to help the French. He transferred the most elite British troops to the French. However, the commander was still a little unstable. He also wanted to hurt the Germans' offensive spearhead, but he was more inclined to defend and counterattack...

So, the situation is a bit awkward now. The two sides have the same general idea, but there are differences in the implementation of specific tactics. However, just when Lord Hamilton was hesitant, the French representative came, and the other party expressed the idea that Marshal Foch wanted to meet with Lord Hamilton. At this critical moment, the Lord naturally had no reason not to go!

"This meeting will be very unpleasant." Lord Hamilton said to the people next to him in the car heading to the French command. However, after meeting Foch, the other party directly made a suggestion to ask the British army to attack together!

"From yesterday and this morning, our situation was very bad. The Germans patiently broke our defense line. The defense line we had been operating for two years was like a piece of hot butter in front of the Germans' aircraft and tanks. Last night, the French Legion's counterattack had little effect. We were unable to even threaten the construction troops less than 2 kilometers behind the enemy's front! It's no point to defend the defense line, and it's time to take a more proactive strategy to turn the situation around." Foch said to Lord Hamilton.

"However, if we take the initiative to attack, in field situations, our entire army is exposed to the attack of German tanks and aircraft, and we are very passive from a tactical perspective. If we rely on the defense line, we will be even more disadvantageous without cover. What's more, the morale of your army is worrying." Lord Hamilton said.

"Lord, relative to your responsibilities for the morale of the French army, I think your army is the most passive to avoid war. Although there were some minor troubles in the army before, among the 3 million French troops, we can always find soldiers who are willing to contribute their lives to the revival of France! They have responded to the call of the motherland and concentrated on the battlefield, but your army passively avoids war!"

"Defense has no future! The Germans already have overwhelming advantages in technical equipment such as heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft. We cannot wait for the Germans to re-deploy their cannons before attacking, because that is seeking death! Although the Germans have five armies on the front, they actually have not had so many troops in contact with us, and more troops are still on the road or in the rear."

"Look at this, this is the attack launch line I prepared!" Foch walked a few steps to the huge map on the wall and pointed to a red dotted line. "Once the Germans' front line is pushed to this position, they will lose 80% of their firepower support! And the distance between them and the rear will also increase to 30 to 40 kilometers! So what if the Germans have aviation advantages? What is the load of a bomber? What is the projection of a 155mm howitzer for ten minutes? This is the weakest firepower of the Germans and the most dispersed front line. If your army is willing to cooperate with our army to launch a counterattack at this time, then I will be at least 70% sure to defeat the Germans!" Marshal Foch said excitedly.

It was really difficult to be in a difficult situation. This was Lord Hamilton's feeling at this moment. What Foch said really makes sense. After all, this was a counterattack launched when the German artillery was not in place. However, the Lord still disagreed with Foch's last sentence. In his opinion, the best result for the French was to stabilize the front line near the red dotted line, which was probably achieved with the help of the British army!

"My teammates suddenly want to make a reckless move, but I don't like it, I feel anxious and can't persuade you anymore. What should I do? Wait online!" If there is an Internet at this time, Hamilton really wants to go online and ask.

"Everyone else goes out!" Betton said suddenly. Looking at the clerk who was still hesitant next to him, Betton added: "Except Marshal Foch, Lord Hamilton and me, everyone else goes out!"
