The Western Front of the European Theater was the first battlefield to be fought in this world war, and it was also the battlefield where the fighting was the most intense. Beginning in June 1911, millions of men from the German Army and the Anglo-French army fought fiercely on the territory of France and Belgium, and in the past two years, more than two million people have been killed and wounded on both sides! Countless civilians have been killed and wounded. However, two years later, this fierce battle seemed to be decided, and after two years of holding out, the British and French forces finally showed their decline again. And the German army is getting closer and closer to Paris, this time, can they capture Paris and completely destroy France? At least, the German side is already full of confidence in this battle!

In the north and northeast of France, during the two years of war, it has almost been scorched, countless people have been displaced, many have fled to the south of France, and Paris, as the capital, is crowded with refugees. The French government has exhausted its national strength in this war, and it is no longer able to help these refugees. Only the French army selected the able-bodied among the refugees, armed them, sent them into battle, and finally died on the battlefield, and perhaps all they had to pay for this was a few insignificant pieces of black bread!

The French are romantic by nature, but this brutal war has made the French romantic. In this war, the French army has suffered more than 1.2 million casualties, and with the death and wounding of civilians, France has already suffered more than 5 million casualties in this war! You know, before the start of the war. The total population of France is only 39 million. In addition, the British Expeditionary Force also lost more than 500,000 men on the battlefield in France. Such heavy casualties. Make France's strength even worse!

Germany was undoubtedly in a much better position than France, although France was in a two-front war. However, the strength of Russia on the Eastern Front was too weak, and with the successive actions of Germany's allies Austria-Hungary and China, Russia had been completely dragged down, and it was impossible for Russia to pose a threat to Germany! Germany's losses on the Western Front were also in the range of a million people. But. Germany's total population reached 66 million before the war, almost twice the size of France. Under these circumstances, Germany was able to mobilize far more soldiers than France. Although before the start of the war, Germany was blockaded by the British Navy, and strategic materials were quickly depleted. But with the continuous blood transfusion of the Guò Baghdad railway from China, coupled with a series of advanced weapons that Germany has obtained from China. As a result, two years later, Germany's war strength far surpassed that of the Anglo-French forces!

Since the spring of 1913, Germany has launched a decisive offensive on the Western Front, hoping to defeat the British and French forces in one fell swoop, and completely defeat France, and achieve victory on the Western Front! Since the end of March, Germany has invested a total of more than 3 million troops. The onslaught of northern and northeastern France, which included thousands of tanks and armoured vehicles, and thousands of combat aircraft. Heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm included 10,000 pieces! The Anglo-French forces fighting against the Germans had a total strength of only about three million people, and a large part of them were recruits who had just joined the army for a short time! Other than that. In terms of heavy weapons, the gap between the Anglo-French and German armies was also very large. British and French homemade tanks and armored vehicles. It was no match for the No. 1 tank (T4 Wolf light tank) and No. 2 tank (T5 Cheetah medium tank) that Germany had acquired technology from China. In terms of aircraft, the British-French Hurricane 2 fighter was barely able to compete with the F5 Haidongqing fighter that Germany had acquired from China. However, the Luftwaffe borrowed from the combat methods of the Chinese Air Force and dispatched a large number of bombers to attack the airfields of the British and French forces, destroying a large number of British and French planes on the airfields, making it impossible for the British and French forces to compete with the Luftwaffe for air supremacy.

In such a comparison of strength, the Anglo-French forces could not compete with the German army on the ground or in the air. This also made the Anglo-French army fall into disadvantage at the beginning of this campaign, the defense line of the front line was constantly broken by the German army, and the battle line was getting closer and closer to Paris!

On 26 May, the nearest German unit was less than thirty kilometers from Paris. The Luftwaffe even sent bombers to bomb Paris several times, blowing up many buildings with a long history and strong artistic value, which caused strong protests from the French side. If it weren't for Kaiser Wilhelm II's wishes, the Eiffel Tower, a landmark building in France, might have been blown up by the Luftwaffe!

On the afternoon of May 27, the Chief of the German General Staff went to the front to coordinate the final offensive of the German army corps on Paris. The Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Admiral Falkenhayn, was full of ambition this time, the defeat of the British and French forces by the German army was a foregone conclusion, and his prestige would be greatly improved, after the end of this war, he was promoted to marshal, which was also an ironclad thing!

Admiral Falkenhayn convened a pre-war conference at La Fette Sujoval, about sixty kilometers northeast of Paris, where the commanders of the six German corps on the Western Front arrived, as well as the commander of the Luftwaffe, General Schulz. Admiral Scholz was originally an artillery general, but after the formation of the Luftwaffe, he was appointed by Kaiser Wilhelm II as the commander of the air force, responsible for the formation and operations of the Luftwaffe. And according to his exploits in World War I, he was successfully promoted to the rank of Luftwaffe Field Marshal!

"Generals, after two years of hard fighting, we have achieved a decisive advantage! The next step is to capture Paris, completely defeat the British and French forces, and win this war! Our allies, the Chinese, have occupied the whole world, and we are still confined to Europe, and the reason for this is that Britain and France contain us! Now, we must defeat the Anglo-French alliance before we can compete with the Chinese for the world! The assault on Paris will unfold in three days, and this time, we are going to take Paris in one go! Admiral Falkenhayn said excitedly! This will be a historic one for Germany, almost comparable to the Battle of Sedan a few decades ago! Didn't Prussia at that time defeat France, and step on the corpse of France, complete the unification of Germany, and achieve rapid development?

The commanders of the officers below were also very excited, and they were the biggest contributors to the defeat of Paris and the defeat of the Anglo-French army. And they will also be promoted with the help of this exploit!

Crown Prince William also returned to the army as commander of the 5th Army. Although he is the crown prince, he also needs to accumulate military exploits to subdue those unruly military generals. And this last battle against France is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity!

For Britain and France, Crown Prince William is also very dissatisfied! Because of the containment of Britain and France, Germany is like a tiger trapped in a cage, and evil China is like a magic dragon, wantonly encroaching on the most fertile land in the world, which Germany deeply desires. China is now more powerful than Germany, and Crown Prince Wilhelm seems to blame Britain and France for this. As if without the hindrance of Britain and France, Germany would not have been left behind by China!

"Now, I will make specific arrangements for the attack on Paris! The 1st Army bypassed Paris and attacked Lemiro in the west of Paris, blocking the retreat of the Anglo-French army to the west! The 2nd Army attacked Paris from the north, the 3rd and 4th Army attacked Paris from the northeast, the 5th Army attacked Paris from the east, and the 6th Army made a detour to the south of Paris, blocking the retreat of the Anglo-French army to the south! Do you have any objections to this? The Chief of Staff of the German Army, General Falkenhein, asked.

"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, the 5th Army Corps hopes to be able to launch an offensive from northeast Paris!" Crown Prince William spoke!

Admiral Falkenhayn frowned, the northeast of Paris was the key defensive place of the British and French forces, and the attack was also the most difficult. That's why he arranged the strength of two legions on this defensive line. To the east of Paris, the Anglo-French defense was a little weaker, and with the distinguished position of Crown Prince William, he allowed the 5th Army to attack from the east. But now, Crown Prince William seems to be a little unappreciative!

The 5th Army Corps led by Crown Prince William fought bravely and made a lot of achievements in the past two years. However, the losses of this corps were also the greatest. In two years, almost half of the casualties of this regiment have been lost. If it weren't for the fact that after every battle, the German General Staff gave priority to replenishing the losses of the 5th Army Corps, perhaps this corps would have fallen apart long ago!

"Then let's do it, swap the combat missions of the 5th and 4th Legions!" Admiral Falkenhayn said.

Crown Prince Wilhelm nodded with satisfaction, but the Duke of Württemberg, the commander of the German 4th Army, had a trace of annoyance in his eyes. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the arrogance of Crown Prince William! If it weren't for the identity and status of Crown Prince William here, he would have reprimanded him a long time ago!

As soon as the deployment of the German army's operational arrangements was issued, the German army immediately began to move. In fact, several regiments of the German army before were almost deployed, and in the last few days, only a few minor adjustments were needed!

And the large-scale movement of German troops also attracted the close attention of the Anglo-French forces. The top brass of the British and French forces and the heads of the French government, everyone also knows that the German army is about to launch a new round of attacks on them, and this is likely to be the final blow to them!
