Three days ago, the battle for the French border finally came to an end. In this battle, the German Empire successfully defeated the Anglo-French alliance and won the Battle of the French Border.

The battle began on August 8 and ended on August 24, lasting half a month. In total, more than 3.5 million troops were dispatched by both sides. However, the Anglo-French army, which had the advantage of troops, was still no match for the elite German army, and lost the battle.

The Germans attempted to encircle and annihilate the main forces of the coalition forces on the Franco-Belgian border with the main force of the right flank (22 corps and 7 cavalry divisions) through Belgium to the west of Paris. The Anglo-French forces (22 semi-corps and 7 semi-cavalry divisions) spread out on the lines of Eitan, Montmedy, Charleroi, and Landresi, attacking in a centrifugal direction. The campaign was fought in 4 areas. From August 8 to 18, the French 1st and 2nd armies attacked Alsace and Lorraine. On the 20th, the German 6th and 7th Army Corps launched a counter-assault, and the French army retreated to the line of the Nancy Heights. On the 22nd and 25th, the German 4th and 5th Army Corps and the French 3rd and 4th Armies engaged in encounters in the Ardennes area, and the superior French army was defeated by the Germans and retreated to Verdun and the Meuse. On the 21st~23rd, the German 2nd and 3rd armies forcibly crossed the Sambur River and the Meuse River respectively, forcing the French 5th Army to retreat to the area south of Philipville. On the 23rd and 24th, the German L Army repelled the British Expeditionary Force to the line of Le Cato and Cambrai in the Mons area. In this battle, more than 3.5 million troops from both sides participated in the battle.

In this battle, the Anglo-French army suffered about 300,000 casualties, and was defeated on all fronts north of Verdun, threatening Paris. The French Army's Plan No. 17 against the Germans collapsed, and the Germans seized the strategic initiative on the Western Front.

Of course, the Germans did not have the strategic goal of destroying the main forces of the Anglo-French forces in the battle of the French border. Although the Anglo-French army suffered heavy losses, the main force withdrew south of the Marne. This gave the Anglo-French forces sufficient forces to defend the Marne. In addition, France is still frantically mobilizing, organizing more troops to go to the front line for defense. Britain was also sending more expeditionary forces to France. In the end, the Anglo-French forces suffered heavy losses. However, it withstood the German attack on the Marne. As a result, Germany's strategic plan for the rapid destruction of France was bankrupt, and the war inevitably turned into a war of attrition, thus entering a very unfavorable situation for Germany.

These are all battles that took place on another plane and plane. But in this time and space, with the existence of Qin Tian's variable, perhaps, all this will be changed!

"Your Majesty, the Anglo-French forces have been severely damaged by us. Although, they still have quite a few troops. However, after a series of battles, it can undoubtedly be proved that the combat effectiveness of the German Army is definitely the best in the world. No other country's army can compete with the German army. Little Moltke looked very excited and proud, and his face was red.

The previous victory of the 8th Army led by Qin Tian in the Battle of Fort Tannan brought him great pressure. But now, through the victory in the Battle of the French Border, his position has been re-strengthened.

The 8th Army Corps wiped out more than 200,000 Russian troops, but he commanded the main German army to eliminate more than 300,000 British and French troops. Not only in terms of quantity, but also in quality. How can the Russian army be compared with the Anglo-French army?

"Well, well done. Now we have the advantage of the north of France. If we can win the next battle and break through the Marne, Paris is at hand. As soon as we take Paris, the French will surely kneel down and pray to us for peace in humiliation. All of this will be exactly the same as it was more than forty years ago. Wilhelm II's face was flushed, as if he had seen victory.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We've won. Moltke chimed in.

Others, including War Minister von? Falkenhayne, including him, had a smile on his face. One way or another, it was the Germans who won at the front. This will be very advantageous for the whole of Germany.

"Your Majesty, a telegram has been sent from the 8th Legion." A staff officer walked in with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Oscar, did they win again?" Wilhelm II asked with a smile. The German army's comprehensive victory on the front-line battlefield made him, the emperor, in a very good mood. At the end of the French border battle, the Battle of Lake Masuri between the 8th Army Corps and the Russian 1st Army had also entered the climax.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The 8th Army Corps called, and the commander of the 1st Army of the Russian Army, General Leinenkamp, officially surrendered to us. The surrendered Russian army, more than 200,000. The 8th Army Corps is now housing prisoners, as well as resting. The staff officer said.

The 1st Army of the Russian Army surrendered? This news is a great shock to everyone. After all, annihilating an enemy army group and forcing the enemy army group to surrender are completely two different concepts!

"Haha, okay, Oscar and the 8th Army, that's a beautiful job. first annihilated the 2nd Army of the Russian army, and then forced the 1st Army of the Russian army to surrender. The North-Western Front of the Russian army is finished. The Russians are on the Eastern Front and can no longer pose a threat to us. Wilhelm II laughed.

He was very pleased with the victory of the Germans on both the Western and Eastern Fronts. Now, he was even more sure that Germany would win the war.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" The other generals were smiling. Especially the Minister of War von? Falkenhein, an old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Moltke Jr., also congratulates Wilhelm II. However, the smile on his face did not seem very real.

Compared to the great victory of the 8th Army on the Eastern Front, the victory in the French border battle on the Western Front seemed to be nothing at all. Although, they also wiped out 300,000 Anglo-French troops. However, the 8th Army Corps, with a strength of 180,000 troops, solved the 500,000 Russian troops, which was undoubtedly a great victory. Besides, the 8th Army Corps can be said to have solved the crisis on the Eastern Front on its own. Even if the Russian army will attack next, Germany has at least survived the most difficult time. And on the Western Front, the big war will continue.

Moltke was a little worried, as Qin Tian gained more and more credit in the war, he would inevitably be more and more valued by Wilhelm II. At that time, Qin Tian's voice will become bigger and bigger. If it doesn't work out, he, the chief of the General Staff, will come to an end. For Moltke Jr., power is everything to him, and he must never lose it.
