"Let the 6th and 7th legions go south from Verdun to capture Lyon and fight all the way to Marseille. The 3rd and 5th Legions, likewise, continued southward to attack central France and destroy all French resistance. The 2nd and 3rd Legions marched south from Paris. As for the 1st and 8th corps, they needed to attack west along the Seine. Didn't the 1st and 5th armies of the Anglo-French army retreat to Le Havre? This British ** team, it's better not to let them return to the British mainland! Qin Tian said.

Although there were still nearly two million people in the Anglo-French coalition army, in Qin Tian's opinion, they were not vulnerable at all. Compared with the elite German army, which had been in many battles, the combat effectiveness of the Anglo-French army was too poor. In particular, the combat effectiveness of those newly formed units is quite poor. As for the British Expeditionary Force, even though they only had 300,000 men left, Qin Tian still hoped to be able to wipe them out in France instead of letting them return to England. Once they return to Britain, when the German army lands on the British mainland in the future, it will pose a certain threat to the German army.

The British Army, compared to the Navy, is undoubtedly much weaker. The British Expeditionary Force is undoubtedly a relatively well-equipped and combat-ready force. Although, they were beaten by the Germans on the battlefield in France. However, if they return to Britain and re-arm, under the stimulus of the idea of defending their homeland and country, I don't know how much combat power they will burst out.

Qin Tian didn't want the Germans to pay too many casualties in the future landing in Britain. After all, the war is almost over, and it is not worth losing your life at that time.

"Your Highness, isn't it too much to send six legions to the south to attack the remnants of the French, and the vast area of northern France also needs troops to stay. Especially when our logistical supply lines are getting longer and longer, this undoubtedly gives the French those who insist on resisting a chance. Admiral Crook reminded.

Qin Tian nodded, logistics support is indeed very important. Especially when the army entered the central and southern parts of France, it was necessary to send troops to garrison important transportation nodes, and even conduct patrols to encircle and suppress the French who insisted on resisting. This made it impossible for them to send their entire army out.

"So, which force should we leave in northern France?" Qin Tian asked.

"Let the Duke of Württemberg's 4th Legion stay. The Duke of Württemberg has not been in good health recently and has asked to return to China to recuperate for a while. In this case, it is just right for the 4th Army Corps to take on the less serious logistical support tasks. Admiral Birlow suggested.

Qin Tian thought about it and agreed to this strategy, leaving the 4th Army Corps for logistical support, while the other five Army Corps attacked south. Although there is one less legion, Qin Tian is still very confident in the next attack of the German army. Five legions, more than a million men, were enough to sweep through the whole of France. The remnants of the French were no match for the Germans at all.

"Your Highness, Le Havre is the naval base of the French, and there are quite a few French warships left there. If we attack Le Havre, we will probably be attacked by French naval artillery. The artillery of the army, apparently, is not capable of fighting the naval guns of the navy. In addition, if Le Havre is not blocked, the British will probably withdraw from there to the British mainland. Therefore, it is better to let the navy assist us in this battle. Said the chief of staff of the 8th Army Corps, Lieutenant General Ludendorff.

"Yes, Your Highness. If the navy could assist us, it would be able to block the way for the British to retreat. When the time comes, it will be easier to take Le Havre and completely annihilate the British Expeditionary Force. Admiral Crook said.

"I'll give an account to the Navy. When the 1st and 8th Legions attack Le Havre, the Navy will send warships to assist you. Qin Tian said.

This is a minor problem. Although, the French also have a navy that is not weak. However, the main force of the French navy has always been in the Mediterranean. If in the last century, the French had the ambition to compete with the British for supremacy at sea, then after the fall of the Second French Empire, the French ambition was shattered. With the French willing to fall, the Royal Navy of the British Empire naturally became the most powerful navy in the world. In the face of the powerful Royal Navy, the French Navy even had to transfer its main forces to the Mediterranean, to dominate in that small pond, and did not dare to compete with the British Royal Navy in the Atlantic.

Of course, the current French Navy is not at all a threat to the German Navy. Although, the French Navy also has ten capital ships. But in the face of the powerful German Navy, it was nothing at all. Just send a fleet and you will be able to wipe it out. The current German Navy, but even the British Royal Navy has fallen on its stomach and has become the world's first navy worthy of the name.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the French campaign will soon come to an end. In other words, there will be no large-scale battles in the entire land battlefield, except for the following battle for landing in Britain. To land in Britain to fight, it is not something that can be launched in a moment and a half, and there are many things to prepare. It is expected that it will be at least until the second half of the year. Therefore, in the final battle of the French battlefield, I hope that you will be careful not to capsize in the gutter. In that case, it would be a stain on our victory. Qin Tian reminded.

The German Army is the first in the world, this is the consensus of everyone. Although the German Army was very strict, in the face of a series of brilliant victories, they still inevitably had a sense of pride. In that case, there is a high risk that the root cause of failure will be planted.

"Yes, Your Highness." Several commanders nodded solemnly. Recently, there is indeed something not quite right in the mood of the army.

"All right, everybody. Let's all go back and get ready. I hope that the battle for France will end as soon as possible. Then, preparations began for landing on British soil. Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness." Several commanders replied. Although, it is not yet known which regiments will be involved in the battle for the landing on British soil. However, there is no doubt that everyone hopes to have this opportunity.

The next day, the Germans continued the operation. The 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th Army Corps moved south to attack the French. The 1st and 8th Corps headed west towards the sea. The 4th Army Corps was responsible for ensuring the security of logistical supply lines.
