As long as you know the history of the First World War, you will definitely have heard of the Battle of Maren, because this battle is the beginning of turning the First World War into a quagmire.⊙,

But if you want to talk about this battle, it is actually inevitable.

Li Mengyang came to this era. He had visited Europe, and then he found that the Battle of Marne was absolutely impossible to escape, because if you were a German general, you would fight like this!

The southern part of France is mountainous, either the Pyrenees or the Alps. Li Mengyang remembers the Tour de France, which is the most difficult bicycle race.

Therefore, according to the current science and technology and combat methods of this era, no matter how they deduce it, the German commander would definitely formulate the same war plan, which was to attack France from the north of France.

However, if you want to complete this action, you will have to defeat the Netherlands and Belgium along the way.

The tactic must be that Germany and France confront each other on their own borders, and then Germany shot a large army, detoured through the Netherlands, Belgium, and detoured to the rear of the French army, defeating the French army in one fell swoop.

But, in history, this tactic has failed...

Why did it fail?

In fact, it is also very simple. He could see that Li Mengyang, a person who was 100,800 miles away from the battlefield, was Germany bound to attack from this place. So at this time, were they just a group of idiots in the French British and French coalition forces?

"Generals! The situation is very obvious now. Germany is trying to lure us into Artsace and Lorraine. I know that is the territory that you French want to get back very much, but now, there is definitely a trap, a trap!"

Henry Roberts' performance in South Africa was very impressive, so, with his uncle's recommendation, Britain sent him to France to fight.

At this time, the British and French coalition forces had nearly 700,000. They were strong and strong. Moreover, the British army had won the Boer War before, and their morale was very good. Only the French army had not fought any major wars before. Therefore, it is doubtful how they stood.

So Henry shouted loudly before the battle began, hoping that the entire army would not take the initiative.

The reason for this is that the French army is still thinking about regaining the two pieces of land lost in the French-Prussian War, Alsace and Lorraine.

To be honest, it is hard to say that these two places are your French, because there are also many German speakers there, but France wants it, just do whatever you want.

In fact, the French were not idiots about this war. They also made a lot of preparations, including several combat plans.

"According to the No. 6 combat plan, we should now rush into Alsace as soon as possible, and if everything goes well, we may soon be able to threaten Berlin!" At this time, standing in front of the map was the new combat staff, Joseph Xiafei.

At this time, Joseph Xiafei was still relatively young, at least not so fat. However, the combat plan No. 6 he pointed out now was of course planned before.

The French also long seen the unstable situation in Europe, so they formulated plans early in the morning and formulated several. At that time, they would use whatever they needed.

As for the current situation, at the junction of Germany and France, we find that Germany has insufficient troops. And the British and French coalition forces are so strong, why not attack?

"General Xiafei! But haven't you heard of it? Germany is already attacking Belgium!" Henry was a little angry because in his opinion, anyone could see that Germany wanted to make a roundabout way.

"But we have every chance to capture those two places first and organize defense lines there. After all, that is our French territory, with French people on it!" Xia Fei's statement was also good.

In fact, this is implemented according to the combat plan, which is correct, otherwise why should a combat plan be formulated?

But later there was a saying, "The combat plan was used to break... This was what an American general said, obviously, Xia Fei is completely unaware of it now.

"Bad! Why are the Germans so stupid? They will have already set up their pockets and wait for us!" After all, Henry has rich combat experience and he can fully imagine the future results.

"General Roberts! We all know that Uncle Ling is an important general in Britain, but don't think of being domineering on our French land!" I have to say that Xia Fei is neither humble nor arrogant.

"You guys!" Henry was so angry.

It was completely felt that these French guys could not communicate, so Henry shook his sleeves and left!

"Hmph!" Xia Fei ignored it too!

It should be said that France's combat plan must be based on their fundamental interests. The French hoped to get Artsace and Lorraine back was so united, and everyone thought so.

But Henry Roberts disagreed with the matter at the moment anyway, and he would never want to die like this. Xia Fei was very straightforward, and other French tyrants also felt that the British bully was too much.

You know, Britain and France have old grudges after all, so it would be good for everyone to get along well with each other now, but if there is a conflict, it would be difficult to deal with.

The coalition forces are most afraid of this matter, because in wars, one should pay attention to the orders. But if you are fighting so hard, then there will naturally be no conclusion. If there is no conclusion, then the order cannot be passed on. Without orders, how can you fight this battle?

"I won't go anyway!"

"Then let's go!"

"OK!"

"You bastard, are you British here to help?"

The fight lasted for several days. If you talk about this, if you keep quarreling like this, it will of course be beneficial to Henry Roberts, because it is equivalent to achieving his goal.

It should be said that Henry did not make trouble on purpose. On the one hand, he insisted on his correctness, and on the other hand, there was information coming, that is, Belgium should be able to defend Germany for a little longer. It is impossible to completely block the German army, but it is still possible to delay for a few days.

So, these days, you might as well make arguing.

But unexpectedly, this thing was a bit too perfect!

Rumble! Rumble!

Lille in northeastern France seemed to be bombarded suddenly, which was inexplicably inexplicable!

"What's going on? What's wrong?" Ferdinand Foch was sleeping heavily in his bed at this time. He never expected to be bombarded.

"Report!" It is obvious that Germany actually called!

This is very fast, very fast!

In fact, many people know that Belgium is not a mud-made one. They should be able to stop the Germans, but now it seems that Belgium is over!

But, this is simply too fast!

"Quick! Organize the defense! Collect the troops!" Ferdinand Foch had a few tricks after all, so he quickly put on his clothes and went to the battlefield!

Rumble! Rumble!

Dada dada...

Outside Lille, Alfred Von Shilifen was looking at the offensive of his army, which was invincible!

"Okay! Strengthen the firepower! And be fast! Quick! We must occupy Lille as fast as possible!" Shi Lifen was very excited at this time because he saw a big victory and was about to be born in his hands!

The appearance of Saliffen outside Lille was definitely something that no one could imagine, because according to normal calculations, Belgium could at least hold back the German army, and they could not have come so quickly.

But this is the situation in front of us. The Germans are already at the gate.

Why did it come so quickly?

It’s very simple, it’s because ‘truth’ is strong enough!

The truth is within the range of the cannon!

Germany was already rising. They had their own industrial system and received technical support from the Pacific Empire, so Germany's artillery developed leap forward.

The most important thing is that the Germans themselves also made some small inventions and small creations.

Twist... buzz...

I saw many evil cars running out in front of Shi Lifen's army. These cars were very cute, very much like a beetle.

That's right, this is the Beetle car created by the Pacific Emperor, but now, a machine gun is placed in the co-pilot position of these Beetle cars!

Maxim machine gun!

This changed suddenly, and it turned into a weapon of killing.

At this time, Europe had been peaceful for a long time, and the general war was no longer fought here, and the Russian-Turkish war was fought in Türkiye.

Therefore, many new weapons have not been used in Europe, and the Maxim machine gun is one of them!

The performance of the Maxim machine gun is very good, and it is water-cooled and relatively reliable. However, before this, this type of gun was used to massacre those indigenous people.

Europeans have not yet appreciated the power of this gun, and now, Sharifen has installed these guns on the Beetle car. In this way, they have heavy artillery and flexible and mobile Beetle chariots. This is really...

It is impossible for Belgium to hold on!

General Shi Lifen originally admired speed war, so his configuration is very suitable for him now.

The German army, on the one hand, bombarded with cannons and cut with Beetle chariots, and Ferdinand Foch quickly could not stand it.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Dada da... Dada da...

Once Lille was lost, it was difficult to defend the rest of the place. Foch retreated very quickly, and Shilifen's Beetle Chariot was chasing Foch's butt!

Soon, Amiens was also captured by Germany, and when they arrived at this place, they could see Paris. The Eiffel Tower was just completed a year ago. It is really majestic. Now, it can be regarded as a landmark!

"What, Amiens is lost?"

"What should I do?"

When the news reached the main force of the British and French coalition forces, even Amiens was lost!

It was not until this time that Xia Fei and Henry Roberts discovered that the matter was going on! (To be continued.)
