"Genius General, this is a war report sent by the French. Judging from this war report, their situation is very bad." Lieutenant Colonel Montgomery, the staff member of the British Sixth Army, sent a war report to Lord Hamilton, the commander of the Sixth Army of the British Royal Expeditionary Force.

Marshal Heg, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, specially gave the British Legion a separate army number to the French. This is not only good, but more importantly, he obtained a complete set of independent systems such as heavy artillery troops, logistics support and air force. They could not rely on French supplies and support to fight. From this perspective, Marshal Heg still attaches great importance to Lord Hanermiton.

"Very good, this is the information collected by our people. You sit next to you and take a look first. I will finish reading the French war report. Then let's discuss it." Lord Hamilton said that Lord Hamilton, who was born in the hereditary nobles, liked this staff officer from the priest's family very much, because in him, Hamilton could always find the agility and bright spots that other British officers did not have. As a staff officer, the other party could also keep his responsibilities, do his own things, and check for omissions for the commander.

"Tell me what you think, you can do about the Germans and French." Lord Hamilton said after closing the document.

"The Germans' offense is much more fierce than before. They are orderly and step by step, and are progressing very quickly. But I always feel that the Germans are not doing their best." Montgomery hesitated for a moment and expressed his true thoughts. After the Lord opposite nodded and signaled him to continue speaking, Montgomery continued to speak.

"The German army has been strengthened, which is expected by everyone. After all, His Royal Highness of Bavaria's crown prince has two armies, Bavaria and Bohemia, and has also received support from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But I always feel that the strengthening is not enough!"

"Commander, think about it, the German army had about 3 million troops before the Western Front, and the Bavarian army had reinforcements of about 700,000. In addition to the Austro-Hungarian Army and subsequently supplemented troops, the Allies had a total of about 4 million troops on the Western Front, which was even more than the British and French combined. But what about this attack? How many troops were mobilized? From the intelligence point of view, there were only 4 to 5 armies, about 1.2 million! Are the remaining 3 million German troops sleeping? The size of this offensive force is not even much larger than the German offensive scale before, which is very inconsistent with the German strength advantage!" Montgomery pointed out the key to the problem.

"So what do you want to say? Do you want to say that the Germans are strong on the outside and do not have other plans?" Lord Hamilton said with a frown.

"I can't tell you this. I tend to be the Germans who have more energy, but they shouldn't attack on another front at the same time." Montgomery said.

"This seems to be a contradictory statement," said Lord Hamilton.

"Although the ground forces do not invest much, the air force is full of force. The combat styles of the Bavarian Legion and the Prussian Legion are completely different. The Bavarian Legion emphasizes the advantages of carrying forward the technical equipment. They will concentrate a large number of armored troops and the air force and then smash the opponent's defense line like an invincible siege hammer. Then a large number of infantry units enter the battlefield to expand the results. The advantage of this is that they can strengthen the breakthrough ability and minimize casualties. The disadvantage is that they can only choose a not-wide front! The Prussian Legion is more inclined to carry out flat-push combat on a relatively wide front. Although the penetration is limited, the attack surface is very wide, which makes people easily lose sight of one thing." Montgomery analyzed.

"It makes sense. At least the Germans would not have concentrated millions of troops before, but they only spread out on the front of only 40 kilometers." Lord Hamilton said. "So, what about your solution?"

"We are at an overall disadvantage, but as long as we can severely attack the opponent's armored spearhead, we may not be able to curb this wave of offensives from our opponents! We must take the initiative to attack! Beat the Germans off guard before they cross the defense zone before they unfold! Of course, we need the Air Force and more cannons." Montgomery said.

"Your thoughts are the same as those of the French. However, they are very different from those of Marshal Heg. Our commander believes that we should build positions and wait for the Germans to attack." Lord Hamilton hesitated a little. Logically speaking, Marshal Heg assigned him to the French army, so he should cooperate with the French army to fight. However, Marshal Heg was the commander of the British Expeditionary Force after all, and the latter's orders were quite conservative... So, what should we do now? Lord Hamilton was also very entangled!

"Active attack means we have to collide with the most elite German armored cluster. According to intelligence, the Germans mobilized at least 800 wolf-type tanks, and above our heads, at least thousands of aircraft were hovering! Our logistics transportation lines and artillery units are always threatened by the other side. You have not had the experience of fighting head-on with the German armored forces, and you do not know how terrible the German tanks are." Lord Hamilton said.

"In fact, in the Eastern Mediterranean War Zone, the French mainly took the pressure from the German army. They knew better than us about the German armored forces, but the French chose to attack head-on." Montgomery took a deep breath and said.

"They are very clear about the strength and tactics of the Bavarian Legion. The fundamental reason why they still choose to attack is that defense has no future. We have built a defense line on the Western Front for two years and will be broken by the Bavarian Legion within a few days. So how many days can the defense line we have deployed hastily in the back in a few months? As long as the Bavarian armored troops are not greatly damaged, they can continue to attack until the French cannot withstand the blow and eventually collapse. Perhaps the crown prince chose to defeat France by constantly attacking and then deal with us?"

It has to be said that although Montgomery is not yet a general, as a British marshal who was famous in World War II, he was still somewhat talented after all. At least this time, he saw many problems clearly, such as the tactical characteristics of the Bavarian army's offensive, and the situation where the German army did not do its best on the Western Front, and the opinions put forward were also reasonable. Simple defense does not have a future, and only attacks have a glimmer of hope. This is also correct with the French people's idea. However, the right direction does not mean the result is correct. After all, he missed a lot. For example, the current state of the French army, some possible deals between Germany and France, and what is the actual combat effectiveness of the German army?
