Chapter 68: To Each His Own Thing (Revision)

The onslaught of the British and French forces finally broke through the last line of German defense on the Somme.

"It's over!"

Falkenhein dropped the receiver of the telephone in his hand, and his eyes looked out of the window. It was a dark cloud that hung low in the afternoon, thick like a grinding disc, and could crush his heart.

The counterattack would take place between midnight, but now he had no reserves at all. For the sake of the strategy of luring the enemy deeper, the reserves in his hands have been exhausted by the refueling tactics.

Facing him in front of him, he frowned painfully and slowly walked to the front of the battle map. If the British and French troops broke through the Somme defense line, they would be able to sweep the entire German rear if they were not effectively contained. In that case, the immediate crisis would not only be a problem in the Somme theater.

He held his head in his hands in agony, imagining the catastrophe that might result from it. Although his headquarters was still twenty kilometers away from the Somme Line, there were no more powerful troops between them and the British and French forces in front of them.

At the same time, celebrations began among the British and French commands. This was the first time in this battle that the British and French forces broke through the German defenses.

"Well done, kids......!"

Xia Fei raised the champagne in his hand and let out a cheer in his mouth, and the young officers and staff officers cheered with him. Now, even now, the initiative in the war is finally in the hands of the coalition forces.

While Xia Fei was satisfied, his eyes also looked out the window. In the clouds, he seemed to see Tang Yun's face. His lips moved slightly, as if he was saying it to himself, and as if he was saying it to Tang Yunyang, who didn't know what he was doing now.

"Young man, although I do not deny that you are a good soldier, this is politics, not military. You're still too young! ”

Immediately, his thoughts were called back to his headquarters by the cheers of the staff officers. At this time, he discovered that the British were fundamentally different from the French.

Although the young people were cheering, Douglas . . . In addition to being satisfied, Haig's amusement was quiet and restrained. Even Xia Fei found that there was worry in his eyes that could not be concealed.

What's that, worry, Xia Fei's excitement is not worried!

As a result of the current aerial battle, the Allied Flying Team was once again defeated. The armored forces also suffered heavy losses in infantry and artillery. The only consolation was that the Germans, due to the collapse of the defensive line, had little strength to counterattack.

Suddenly, he felt that he was still defeated by the "call for truth" with Tang Yunyang this time. Although the current state of affairs can make his product backlog, the cost of this attack is inevitably too great, and it makes the hearts of those who plan to compete for the presidency in the future heartbroken.

He put down his wine glass, and the joy in his heart seemed to have diminished a lot because of this "release". Even the voice of his command did not have the taste of joy.

"Report to the War Department in Paris that our offensive in the direction of the Somme has won a decisive victory, and now our valiant army has broken through the enemy lines. If follow-up troops can be obtained in time, then it is expected to launch a full-scale attack in depth behind the enemy's rear. In addition, we apply for large-scale procurement of fighters, armored vehicles, and other equipment produced by the MPM military-industrial complex! ”

How did Xia Fei know that when the telegram flew to Paris, this information also flew from the hands of Colonel Picard of the Second Military Intelligence Agency of France to Tang Yunyang's hands.

"Humph!"

Seeing this telegram, Tang Yunyang snorted coldly in his nostrils. Then he threw the telegram across from him, and on a combat map, the arguing Lee Erpole was in the hands of Patton.

The two of them were in a tie during the exercise and are now arguing about who will win. With the relationship between the two fox friends and dog friends, they will only argue about this kind of thing, blushing and thick-necked.

"the thief, the Germans are just so unbeaten?"

"Fucking war, war is fucking over, my God!"

Amazingly, Barton can now speak some simple Chinese. Probably because he has a good relationship with Li Erpole, his Chinese always has a Shaanxi flavor.

Faced with the news that the German line had been broken by the Allied forces, Patton made no secret of his disappointment.

In the past two months, in the castle of Nancy, in addition to teaching Li Erzhuzi all the things he learned from West Point, he also learned some practical experience from Li Erzhuzi, large-scale air-ground battle.

Now, he feels that the only thing he lacks is to apply that experience in real combat. Then he put it into a complete theory in his scientifically trained mind, and of course such advanced theories were always to be applied to the American military.

According to what he received from Pershing, the American army was now running into battle, especially after the Ocean Fleet drove the British Royal Navy fleet back into their harbors, and the entire Atlantic became a "playground" for German wolves.

If the war were to end at this time, he would have repented.

"No, quite the opposite! The war still has to be fought, and it will get more and more intense! ”

Tang Yunyang, who had rekindled the cigarette of his cigar in his hand, raised his hand and said a word of comfort to Patton. He knew very well what kind of farce was in front of him, and the details inside could not be told to the two guys in front of him.

"It's a tie this time! Let's have another tiebreaker in two days, and if Barton loses, you won't be able to keep your pearl oyster pistol. Li Erpole, if you kid loses, just ask Mr. Li for a piece of tofu and kill him! Now you both go down and get ready! ”

"Yes!"

The two of them are messing around, quarreling is quarrelling, but obeying the order, it is like a mold carved out. Since the following exercises are related to the reputation of the two of them and the things they cherish, I believe they will still be very serious.

Seeing off the two officers who liked to fight, Tang Yunyang picked up the phone and called the Marian Witch to come here.

Sometimes he hated the role he played, and when it came to his nature, he was a soldier similar to Lee Erzi and Patton, but now he played a role of a businessman and a politician a little more.

"Fucking role of a thief!"

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

Marianne Witch usually looks quite ladylike in the castle. She would wear a well-made French uniform, and her chestnut hair tucked into her military cap. Even when she speaks, when she looks at people, it will especially make people misunderstand that she is the kind of woman who is demure and virtuous.

"Yes, I think you've already seen the information from the 'Lion King' just now, so I want to ......"

When the Marian Witch heard Tang Yunyang's words, the expression on her face was, "I already knew!" ”

"Yes, I'm ready to contact that side, I just want to know what you're going to say to them this time?"

Tang Yunyang narrowed his eyes, he wanted to see how well this Marian witch knew him.

"Guess what I'll say?"

Marian Witch's eyes flashed with a look of wisdom, she twisted her waist, her towering chest shook to look so proud and seductive, and this was the "killer weapon" she used to deal with Tang Yunyang.

Tang Yunyang was shocked in his heart, it was difficult to keep the secret, and he just wanted to send her out of here quickly.

"Oh no! I think we're going to be busy down there. I want you to tell them to 'go their own way'! ”

"Is that so? Sir, what else do you command? ”

Faced with Tang Yunyang's reaction, Marianne Witch didn't know whether she should be proud or not.

"Well, yes. I want the Ministry of Intelligence to closely monitor the telecommunications between the two sides. Also, you're going to have to ask Frank. Luke, Zhu Binhou and Ruiwu. Louberry came to me. I reckon the big war is about to begin, and we'll be busy soon. And, I'm afraid you'll have to arrange the things at hand, and I think we might have to go to the United States! ”

"The United States? Is it New York or Washington? ”

Marianne's eyes lit up when she heard the trip, but the following sentence made her less pleased.

"New York, we have to go there to visit an old friend of mine, and Jane will be with us this time! This should be done quickly, and I would like to leave today if I could! ”

Soon after, Zhu Binhou, Rui Wu. Luberry and the commander of the Iron Wing, who had become even stronger because of the addition of the pilots who had come to Yama Mountain. Luke, let's go to Tang Yunyang's office.

Tang Yunyang, who was packing his luggage, heard the door knock and said hello to the three of them.

"Sit down, three, I'll be right away!"

Frank who came here. For some reason, Luke's expression looked a little twisted.

"Don, are you going out?"

"Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the United States! What's wrong Luke, what's the matter? ”

Tang Yunyang looked at Frank. Luke's expression was a little curious, and he unconsciously stopped his movements. As a young man, Tang Yunyang is completely concerned about his brother's affairs.

"How long will it take you to go to the United States, or...... Or......! ”

Always cheerful Frank. Luke actually had such an expression, and vaguely, Tang Yunyang had already guessed that this matter might be related to Rosini.

"Oh, I see, Luke, my brother, you're planning to get married to Rossini, aren't you?"

Since Tang Yunyang himself guessed it, Frank. Luke's face was relieved. Otherwise, he really can't talk about it. Tang Yunyang saw his expression and understood that he had guessed correctly.

"I think I'm afraid you'll have to accompany me to the United States this time, well, Brother Yunzhang, you arrange the mission of the Iron Wing troops, and ask them to send fighter jets to escort the 'Hawkeye', and we have to know every move of both sides on the battlefield on the Somme. Sir, I'm afraid you'll have to put down your training and devote yourself to reconnaissance these two days. ”

Judging by the look, it is obvious that Ruiwu. Louberry was pleased with this arrangement.
