Chapter 28: What to Sell (Revision)
Although Tang Yunyang's words made General Xia Fei puzzled to some extent. Although he was surprised in his heart, he was still extremely calm on the surface, and seemed to be noncommittal to Tang Yunyang's words.
This made Tang Yunyang a little worried, and the future development would be premised on General Xia Fei's trust. So he accentuated his tone and gave a more detailed picture of the future battle of Verdun.
Because Xia Fei believed that everything he was about to face was the only guarantee for Tang Yunyang to gain trust.
"Because I believe that the German army is about to attack Verdun, and the attacking force will be under the personal command of the German crown prince. And you, my general, you will incur the displeasure of the military because of the controversy now taking place over Verdun, including the officers whom you have dismissed, and the anger against the Minister of War.
They will stab you in the back with the deadliest stab at the end of the Battle of Verdun...... And Verdun, oh, could you please take out the battle map there? ”
At this time, Xia Fei was infected by the logical and reasonable deduction of everything Tang Yunyang said, so he did not object, and let Tang Yunyang's finger on the map, pointing at his new field fortifications, and said something that shocked him even more.
"Verdun will not be completed in time because of your new defensive system, and will put the French army in an extremely passive position at the beginning of the campaign, and at the same time create a pressure that will panic Paris!
Oh, I ask, who will you send to solve this crisis? I think General Petain will be your choice!
His disposition was roughly as follows: as for supplies, most of the roads and railways were cut off by artillery fire, and the defenders of Verdun would then have to rely on this secondary road as a supply route.
The rest of the campaign will go like this......
See, that's how it all happened, and the end result will be the same as I just said. You, my general, you will receive the Marshal's Scepter, but you will lose the children you care about forever! ”
Xia Fei was talking eloquently in Tang Yunyang, and the color on his face changed.
Because everything Tang Yunyang said was justified, no matter the density of artillery fire, the deployment position, or the way of attack of the German army, it was all in line with Xia Fei's understanding. As for the behavior of politicians in Paris and the military, he also analyzed it in detail.
Xia Fei's usual composure was broken by these facts that had to be believed and were about to happen.
"My God, am I really doing something wrong?"
General Xia Fei picked up the wine bottle and poured the wine, while muttering to himself. Although he had never panicked, it could not be denied that Tang Yunyang's words had caused a shocking effect in his heart.
Tang Yunyang knew that his "big gamble" with his own life had the possibility of success this time, and the question he raised had successfully attracted the attention of the general, and it was time to put a little more pressure on him.
"How is it, my general. Plus, there's a little bit of news for you.
Your planned attack on the Somme with two French armies and one British army on a 60-mile front will reduce the strength of the French army by more than 60 percent because the majority of the French army is drawn to the Verdun area, and this offensive will also be bogged down in positional warfare, and your mobile battle plan will come to naught.
Finally, General Xia Fei or should you call and ask Mr. Churchill if the 'baby' he made for him and his colleagues in the Land Battleship Commission is okay (the code name for the British tank experimental product)? In such a rainy autumn weather, you may want to wear more clothes! ”
At this time, although Xia Fei had drunk the entire glass of spirits, he still couldn't stop the chill in his heart.
Everything that the young Chinese man said with his eyes like an eagle on the other side, whether it was a war plan or a new weapon, was a secret that only the heads of England and France would know. And that war plan is just now taking shape in Xia Fei's mind.
Even, there were things that were beyond the secret range of what the German spies could know, and those were just a thought in Xia Fei's mind. Even, Xia Fei was silently chanting the name of God in his heart to prove that the Chinese in front of him was not Satan himself.
"You...... Who are you? ”
Tang Yun grinned a gentle smile at the corner of his cigar cigarette.
"I, my General, treat me as a wizard who can see through the future! But I warn you, don't burn me in the Inquisition, or shoot me outright. If you lose our allies, you will lose the war, and you, general, will be attacked by your political enemies, with only one marshal's scepter, and then banished to the mountains! ”
At this time, the fear in General Xia Fei's heart intensified, and he even planned to take out the pistol in his drawer to deal with him.
Intuitively, the young man on the other side knew too many things, and Xia Fei believed that these things would not be possible for a Western spy to obtain.
But how can a Chinese be believed, unless, as he himself says, he is a wizard or he is a liar.
(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481
From a psychological point of view, people generally have two options when faced with a fairly deep fear. One is laughter, the other is anger! These are the most important mental activities to relieve fear.
As a person, General Xia Fei also can't escape this category.
"Phew"
A loud bang echoed through the halls of the office.
Oh, don't worry, it's still not gunshots, it's just that General Xia Fei slapped the table violently!
With the sound of the desk, the door opened to the gendarmes who had been on standby outside the door for a long time, and they broke in with loaded guns under the leadership of the officer.
Tang Yunyang sat there, not moving, as if the interpreter standing there was the object who should be arrested, not him. He was still smoking a cigar leisurely, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Xia Fei stared at the young face of the Chinese in front of him, confronting the eagle-like sharp gaze.
However, in that kind of vision, he didn't feel afraid, especially the sneer that froze at the corner of his mouth. This makes him think that he is in control of all his actions, so is it wise to shoot him?
In his anger, he was already planning to convict the young man of being a "German spy", and then pull him out and shoot him. Then, in the blink of an eye, those telegrams that were pleading, puzzled, questioning, angrily denounced, and threatening shook in front of his eyes again.
"No, I can't, that's too wide-ranging! ……”
Xia Fei sat back in his chair, sighed, and waved his hand to drive out the gendarmes who had just broken in.
