Therefore, in the eyes of the French, at this time, when there was obviously no expectations in the war situation in Asia Minor, the best choice was to pull the remaining troops back and concentrate on the Western Front. As for what to do with Serbia and Greece at this time? The French were a little overwhelmed, so how could they have the heart to care about them?!

"That is equivalent to abandoning our allies in the Eastern Mediterranean." General Heg said with a frown. He could clearly feel that the French's fighting will is no longer so firm. If this right-leaning tendency was mainly reflected in the war-weariness of grassroots troops, then now the top leaders no longer have much hope for victory. What they are thinking about now is how to concentrate all their strength to defend France's local area. Although this will make the situation on the Western Front better, it is strategically closer to conservative!

"As allies, we have lost more than 200,000 troops in the Eastern Mediterranean region, which is worthy of them. I think that in this difficult time, whether it is the Serbian government or the Greek government, they will understand the actions of the French Republic." Galieni frowned and said with some displeasure.

"This matter needs to be discussed. It is not something we can decide now." General Hege did not expect the French to be so firm, so he decided to temporarily stop the topic. He could vaguely feel that the differences between the two sides must be more than the problems of the Eastern Mediterranean War Zone.

"Maybe, from now on, there will inevitably be a crack between the British Empire and the French Republic." General Heg said in his heart.

"General Heg, from my personal point of view, at this time, you would better persuade the British government to withdraw troops from Asia Minor immediately. Compared with General Xiafei's French army, although the British army is larger in scale, it does not have more heavy equipment than the French army. Moreover, you are too deep into Turkey and have very long supply lines. When the French army on the northern front has collapsed, I don't think that if the British army can block the attack of the Bavarian army, it is more likely that the other side will go south directly and cut off your army's retreat!" Beta said suddenly.

"The Germans just finished a large-scale battle, and they suffered a lot of losses and would not take action immediately," said General Heg.

"They didn't do their best! The prince had a backup plan to deal with any opponent, this is true on the Western Front and the Eastern Front. So far, no army is worthy of the prince's efforts to concentrate all the troops in his hands!" said Beta.

"I'm afraid this guy has a terrible disease?" Hege looked at Beitang, who looked serious on the other side, and then looked at the other two French soldiers who were silent next to him. After feeling that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he gave up his entanglement on this issue.

To be honest, for General Heg, this inquiry was very failed. As the questioned person, Betton was constantly instilling a kind of failure and unfavorable negative news into everyone present throughout the inquiry process. The French military leaders did not express their disgust with this! This made General Heg feel very uneasy! And he could figure it out with his knees. The French would definitely have an internal question. He was so pessimistic about the British public meetings. So what would happen if the French held a small meeting on their own? I'm afraid that's not, some people are already ready to make peace?

As General Heg expected, the French really had the plan to stop. This is not to say that the arrogant French have forgotten the French-Prussian War and the hatred of the Mirror Hall of Versailles, but now, the French really can't fight! To be honest, although France is also a veritable power, it is still a big difference compared to Germany and Britain. Before World War I, France was jokingly called a usury country, and a considerable amount of the country's funds were used to play usury. It is normal for domestic industries to hollow out. In addition, there is a lack of local resources. In this war of attrition, France must be the one who can't stand it first!

That's right, it's because resources are scarce. The Germans can at least ensure the supply of coal and iron. In 1913, Germany produced 277.2 million tons of coal, while Britain produced even higher coal, reaching 292 million tons. What about France? It's only 40.8 million tons. In history, Charles de Gaulle once commented on France in the two world wars, France was short of coal in World War I, and France lacked oil in World War II. This is really not a joke.

The steel production capacity made the French even more desperate! In 1913, Germany's steel production was 17.609 million tons, while France only had 4.687 million tons! The output of both sides was more than three times the difference! The pig iron production was also more than three times that of the French!

Maybe some people say that Germany's industry is too buggy, so good. Let France compare with another second-rate power in the first World War, for example, Russia! In 1913, the Russians' coal output was 36 million tons, which is not much less than France. In terms of fuel, the Russians' Baku oil field can completely make up for the coal gap, and there is still surplus. You should know that the production capacity of the Baku oil field before the first World War was more than ten million tons!

The Russians have more steel output than the French! It is as high as 4.918 million tons. Although the iron output is smaller, if the steel averages, France and Russia are at the same level in terms of steel output. Of course, it must be admitted that the French have higher industrial technology level.

If we look at the industrial output value, in 1913, Germany accounted for 15.7% of the world, Britain accounted for a lot, accounting for 13.6%, Russia was 8.3%, France was only 6.1%... Of course, there must be a gap in technology. After all, the total industrial output value is not equal to the overall strength of the industry. Can the industrial output value of coal mining be equivalent to the ones that make guns and cannons? This is like Russia's total industrial output value theory data is much higher than that of France, but military production is left behind...

So, from an industry perspective, the French are indeed taller than the Russians, but the height is limited... far less than that of Britain and Germany! However, what is even more tragic after the war started was that the Western Front was fought on the battlefield, and because of the loss of many important industrial bases in the northeast, the French's industry was forcibly cut by 30%!

If the industrial gap makes France destined to fall first in this war to overdraw national strength (after all, this plane does not have the aid of the American father), then what the French cannot bear even more is the huge loss of personnel! Don’t forget that among all the major participating countries, France has the smallest population, only less than 40 million, while in Germany’s history it was 67 million, the British were 45 million, and even more than 47 million people in the Austro-Hungarian Empire! However, in this war, the French, as the main force on the Western Front, could not withstand most of the German army!
