Chapter 70 Falkenham's Choice(2/2)
Not attacking the weakest point of the weakest was once again declared to be the guiding principle of Germany's military policy.
"General, what if you blow up the gap in front of you? Do you plan to march through the gap to Paris? What happens next if you break through the defenses and the armies elsewhere are not defeated? Do you really?

"No!"
Facing the major's question, Falkenhayn replied,
"We are not that stupid. We are not pursuing Verdun, we are not pursuing blowing a hole, and we do not want to march through such a hole. Our goal is very different. We strive to exhaust the enemy, not create a gap
