To carry out the Battle of the Somme, the Anglo-French forces formed the Theater Command.

After dinner, Xia Fei, who had nothing to do, did not go to the war department, he just stayed in his luxurious mansion that doubled as an office, smoking a cigar comfortably.

His eyes looked out at the sky with some red glow, as if waiting for night to fall.

There was a stack of papers on his desk, and his mind was a little unclear because he had been in a trance, so he took a hard puff on his cigar.

The thick smoke rushed into his lungs, and he seemed to let out a long sigh of relief in satisfaction, and then his gaze seemed to be deliberately resting on the "inside report". Then he raised his head again, continued to look at Hongxia in the sky, and continued to think deeply.

Douglas, who was invited by Xia Fei and had dinner with him. Haig sat across from him, sipping a cup of black tea, as he was customary in England. On the contrary, he didn't seem to have anything to worry about, his eyes just silently observed Xia Fei opposite.

"Yes, my general, you are right, he is a good lad!"

"It's a pity he wasn't exactly on our side!"

After Xia Fei said that, he was surprised to find that Douglas on the other side. Haig's words just now hit his heart.

"My God, Sir Haig, you are a wizard too! Seriously, you surprised me! ”

"Really? It is a great honor, my general! ”

Douglas. Haig seemed to be pleased with Xia Fei's surprise, especially when he could see that he liked the word "wizard" very much, and then he gave an explanation.

"I'm afraid I can't fail to mention my hobby, I'm afraid you don't know, I'm a lover of detective novels, and to be honest, the Mr. Holmes created by Mr. Conan Doyle really fascinated me!"

Xia Fei was not so interested in this kind of boring novel used to pass the time, and he muttered a sentence in his mouth.

"Oh, yes, that's great, my sir, I think you must have seen the contents of this document on the table!"

"No, no! My general, you guessed it all wrong, I only took the liberty of observing you. You know, it's your own five-view expression that tells me what you're thinking? ”

By Douglas. Haig repeatedly teased Xia Fei, who had already made some fire, and showed some displeasure.

"Alright, alright, my sir, just tell me!"

"Well, sir, I've you off. Well, then I'll tell you! ”

Looking at Xia Fei's displeasure, it strengthened Douglas even more. Haig had some kind of fun.

"You know, when I saw that you had just received this document, my face immediately turned gloomy. I suspect it was probably about the Battle of Skagerrak, which was a bit of a frustration! ”

Looking at Douglas. Hague was not very happy because he had successfully teased himself on his face, and Xia Fei immediately looked at Douglas with a certain happy color on his face. Haig poured a basin of cold water.

"Why can't I see that you are in such a mood, but ...... I have a feeling that you have a little bit of schadenfreude. ”

"Hmph, I'm in the Army, have you completely forgotten my general? And in the face of the new weapons of the Germans, the navy will definitely have to suffer some hardships. I think it's because of those seaplanes. This probably reminds you of Don, you think ......"

Speaking of which, Douglas. Haig's tone lowered, and he leaned forward, which was what they always did when talking about Tang Yunyang. After all, this guy has now shown some of his strengths, especially of some speakers.

"He's not really trying to help us win this war, does that annoy you?"

Xia Fei nodded wordlessly, he couldn't help but say that now Tang Yunyang's forces had made him a little worried.

In addition to what has just been seen, the British Home Fleet has just suffered a great loss in the naval battle of Jutland. Lost 5 battleships, 5 battlecruisers, and several other ships. Especially the cruisers and destroyers, which were badly damaged while covering the retreat of the Grand Fleet.

The entire British fleet was faced with planes in the sky that were as nasty as flies, but there was nothing they could do. The sparse firepower of the two anti-aircraft guns on each of their ships was nothing to mention and there was no way to get them out of that pesky fellow.

At this moment, not only British territorial waters, but also the coast of France used a large number of warships and aircraft. Instead of attacking, they are very busy laying mines, as well as massively installing improvised anti-aircraft weapons on battleships.

Both Britain and France could only watch the German warships come and go in the strait at this moment. At this moment, the Germans, on the other hand, seemed to be carried away by this sudden victory, and did not know which of the most strategically valuable targets to attack.

In addition, it is the information that the "inside line" has just sent.

These "insiders" were not directed against any of the "Allied powers" of Germany or Austria, but against a figure whom Xia Fei considered even more difficult than the German-Austrian Empire.

“…… They have a large number of armored fighting vehicles, entire infantry regiments are completely mechanized, and in addition, the armored vehicles that they mark as oil tankers in order to confuse the outside world are actually tanks with artillery......"

"These bastards have produced the best tanks long ago, but they don't give us ...... use?"

At this time, Xia Fei remembered the earliest suspicion that Tang Yunyang was a German spy. If he was just an inconspicuous little man then, he was still a little man, despite his fame for his inventions.

But what about now?

"If his armored regiment launches an attack on Paris......"

This is where Xia Fei is worried, because he has no troops to adjust now.

The French troops defending the various fronts were not yet able to extricate themselves from trench warfare, unless all fronts consisted entirely of rapid fronts of increased depth, or some forces could be freed up.

Almost all of the rest of the mobile forces were concentrated on the Somme River by Xia Fei. In this attack, he wants to achieve two goals. One is to get the marshal's scepter, and the other is the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces.

Unfortunately, he felt that he might encounter resistance, and that resistance would be that of the arms dealer who continued to produce the latest weapons and had almost monopolized the supply of some of the French arms.

If his speculation is true, then the arms sold by Tang Yunyang to the Germans will prevent him from achieving his goals. While they have considerable common interests, he fundamentally does not tolerate anyone interfering with his plans.
