"No matter how fast we break through the front, it is definitely not as fast as the British's transfer speed. France's railway density is more than ten times higher than that of Russian Poland! In two years, the British have laid a large number of light railways, so their mobility is too high. If it is a normal battlefield breakthrough, it will be difficult for the British to catch up with it as long as they want to go. More importantly, even if we make a breakthrough on the ground front, the breakthrough of hundreds of meters to 2 kilometers wide is too effective for the entire front line that is more than 200 kilometers long. It takes too long to shake the entire front line. Moreover, even if the British's defense line is broken, the British can still withdraw through the English Channel. We have tested the effect of the Air Force's attack on the Strait transport units. Overall, the effect is acceptable during the day, but the British can evacuate at night."

"In response to this situation, His Highness Ruprecht believes that if he wants to completely destroy the British Expeditionary Force, two points must be done. The first point is to open a wide enough gap in the front of the British defense line at an extremely fast speed so that at least 8 fast divisions and more than 8 fast divisions can break through at a very small cost, and then quickly detour the rear of the British, destroy the troops stations, railways and warehouses, thereby limiting the movement of the British on the front. The second point is to eliminate the influence of the French, because we have to bypass hundreds of kilometers of fronts to encircle millions of British troops. The enemy on our front is already very strong, and if the French help the British, our strategy will definitely not be realized."

"So, the key to really deciding whether we can eat the British Expeditionary Force in one bite is not the German offensive, but the French attitude. I think General Pershing's documents should also mention similar ideas? Because what we want is the result of annihilation war rather than a defeat war." Count Hogner said.

Roosevelt remained silent about this because he really had no reason. He could not believe the Germans' rhetoric, but he could not help but believe the old man Pershing! Pershing mentioned many times in his report that "even under the most advantageous circumstances, it is impossible to repeat the Polish pocket on the Western Front by simply relying on military means." And Pershing also knew about Ruprecht's strategy and tactics to "let the fort collapse from the inside" and praised it very much.

You know, Pershing is the oldest and most qualified officer in the US military. His opinions basically represent the opinions of the US military. Although the US military has limited political influence, they are professional in military affairs. When Pershing recognized this plan, even if Roosevelt was unhappy, he could not say that the plan was not good.

And now, where is the plan that was originally agreed upon by both Germany and the United States finally stuck? The French did not respond. If we look deeper into the confidence of the French to reject the goodwill of the Germans at an absolute disadvantage? One thing will definitely not escape the eyes of everyone here, that is, the Americans had previously expressed their willingness to mediate the war to the French!

"The French are ultimately wrong with this plan. On this issue, your country has obviously mishandled it. Previously, the wrong signal sent by your diplomatic agencies to the French made the French misjudgment of the situation. They believed that they were fearless with your country's help, so they rejected our kindness. Ask yourself, do you think this is really appropriate? How many plans in the world are caused by problems because some details are not controlled properly." Earl Hogner said seriously.

"Damn, why do I feel like I'm being tricked?" Roosevelt suddenly felt like he was falling into a pit. "Is it all my fault for a long time?" Roosevelt felt that he was really frustrated! However, even though Roosevelt didn't want to admit it, he could never blame Germany on this issue again!

After all, negotiations between allies must be reasonable. The US government represented by Roosevelt is obviously unreasonable. If you don’t inform your allies, you will first contact the hostile countries. Don’t say that the Germans don’t like it, the US military actually has a lot of opinions. Pershing once mentioned in a telegram to Roosevelt that “the United States’ statement at this time may lead to unpredictable consequences.” Look, you can’t even stand it, how can you talk to the Germans about this matter!

"But your country should not negotiate with the British." Roosevelt was a little confident in speaking.

"His Highness Ruprecht is just the crown prince of Bavaria and cannot represent the entire Germany. You have different opinions in your country, and your will may not be able to be implemented. Then in Germany, the Crown Prince's actions were wrong, and then the opposition rebounded is normal. There is no need to blame each other in this matter. What I want to say is that Prince Albert's attitude does not represent His Highness Ruprecht, and at this time his Highness still wants to save some things. This matter requires the cooperation of your government." The preparatory work was almost done, and Count Hogner began to talk about the real core issue. (Prince Albert said, "Okay, I'll take the blame on someone again.")

Everyone is an allies, and sometimes the issue of responsibility cannot be mentioned. [31 Novel Network] is too clear. It is easy to hurt feelings if it is explained clearly... The most important thing is that the problem must be solved! It is useless to curse each other, and solving the problem is the real thing!

"For the common interests and purposes of our two countries, Crown Prince Ruprecht decided to save our previous plans as much as possible. If this time, the two countries can cooperate, His Royal Highness is willing to withstand the pressure from the country and continue to implement the previous plans." As he said that, Earl Hogner sent a document to Roosevelt.

"Is this really OK?" Roosevelt said after taking a look.

"Mr. President, please deal with this document first. Now only His Royal Highness and you who have read the contents of this document are His Royal Highness and You, and I have not seen it. You should have seen the confidentiality measures outside the document box, and there is no problem at all." Earl Hogner said. "You can tell a person you like and use it as the plenipotent representative of the United States of America to go to Brussels to talk about this matter with His Royal Highness himself. In addition, I would like to say that the Secretary of State of your country is not suitable for this representative because he has done something that does not match his identity!"

"Things that don't match the identity?" Roosevelt was a little confused.

"After attending the Austro-Hungarian Empire's crown prince enthronement ceremony, Robert Lanxin had met with some people. I think you should know this. You can't say that Mr. Robert can communicate his feelings in a private name when he meets politicians who have never been masked, right?" said Count Hogner.
