I was a tycoon in World War I: Starting to save France

"Tell me what's going on?" Camille asked Charles nervously in the corner of the square: "Are you going to lead these soldiers to fight the Germans?"

"Don't be nervous, Mom!" Charles comforted: "I'm just teaching them how to fight, I won't go to the battlefield!"

"Teach them how to fight?" Djoka and Camille looked at each other.

Ciel had never left their side and never participated in training. How could he know how to fight and teach others how to fight?

Then Djoka seemed to understand: "You paid them to listen to you, right? You can't squander the tractor factory's funds like this, Charles! You are still in the testing period. This is your first day taking over the tractor factory... "

Charles didn't know how to answer. He knew that no matter how he explained it, Djoka and Camille would not believe that he made these soldiers listen to his orders with just his sharp tongue.

Kamil glanced at the murderous soldiers in the square, and felt a chill in his heart: "Okay, let's go back first, and we'll talk about it when we get home!"

"No, mother!" said Charles, "we can't get out!"

"What do you mean?" Camille looked confused.

Charles replied: "In order to keep it secret, the tractor factory is not allowed in or out after sunset!"

Djoka was angry: "This is our Bernard family's factory, what right do they have to 'no entry, no exit'..."

He thought this was the "rule" set by the French soldiers.

"Father!" Charles interrupted Djoka: "This is my order!"

Djoka was stunned and looked in disbelief.

"You, your order..." Camille repeated Charles's words with difficulty. She vaguely remembered that there were indeed several soldiers with rifles standing guard at the gate of the tractor factory.

She doesn't care about "secrecy" or "no access, no access".

She just couldn't imagine that her son, who had always been bullied and harmless, could suddenly command others. To be precise, he raised an army and took control of the entire factory in just one day.

Djoka looked around and asked dubiously: "What military secrets are involved here?"

"I can't say!" Charles repeated what he said before: "I can only say that this is the safest place and we should stay here!"

Djoka reluctantly raised his head at Camille, as if to say, this is what I told you this morning: our child has grown up, and is smarter than Francis!

…

At the headquarters of the 6th Army in Paris, Gallieni punched the desk and roared:

"This is ignorance! This is murder! This is crime!"

There was only one reason why Gallieni was so angry. General Joffre rejected his suggestion to command the 6th Army to attack the German flank.

"The situation is obvious!" Gallieni said with a livid face: "The German First Army went deep alone. They threw the Second Army 20 kilometers away, and now they changed the direction of attack and stepped into our encirclement. If we don't attack, we will It’s very possible to lose this great opportunity!”

Major General Maunouri did not dare to say anything. Gallieni was right. It would only take two days for the Second German Army to catch up. By then, the Germans would have enough troops to surround Paris again.

Or, if the German First Army suddenly realizes its mistake and returns to its offensive route, the consequences will be disastrous.

No one could figure out why Xiafei refused to attack.

Gallieni walked anxiously around his desk with his hands behind his back. After a while, he angrily asked the staff officer: "What explanation did he (referring to Joffre) give?"

The staff officer responded tremblingly: "General Xiafei believes that the Germans are unlikely to reveal such a big flaw. This is probably a trap. The purpose is to lure the 6th Army out of Paris's defenses and then sneak attack Paris, so we should wait and see. Change……"

Gallieni interrupted the staff officer with a "hum". He didn't want to hear any more.

Gallieni went through the whole process again in his mind. From a certain perspective, Joffre's judgment made sense. The biggest doubt was who spread the "rumor".

If the "rumor" is the work of the Germans, the purpose is to give the First Army sufficient reason to change its march route, and ultimately allow France to be deceived and lead the 6th Army out of Paris...

No, the Germans don’t have to do that!

Gallieni said: "The Germans only need to encircle Paris from the west and cut off the supply lines according to their normal march route, and then wait for the Second Army to arrive to win. Why bother?"

Major General Maunooly nodded in agreement.

But now, nothing can be done without General Joffre's orders.

Gallieni had a vague feeling that Joffre did this because of personal grudges.

Gallieni and Joffre were on the same page, and they had many arguments in public that made them red-faced and even slapped the table and cursed.

Today, it was Gallieni who discovered the Germans' flaws and made timely suggestions for an attack.

If Joffre immediately agrees, does it mean that Commander-in-Chief Joffre is commanding according to Gallieni's battle plan?

Did the hero who defeated the Germans become Gallieni instead of Joffre?

Does this mean he admits that Joffre is not as good as Gallieni?

Gallieni's eyelids twitched, but he did not express this idea. After all, it was just a guess, a guess without evidence!

Gallieni gritted his teeth and ordered: "Get the cars ready. If needed, we can send the army to the battlefield in the shortest time!"

"General!" Major General Maunouli replied with difficulty: "Most of our cars have been sent to the battlefield!"

"Then call in other vehicles, oxcarts, horse carriages, taxis!" Gallieni emphasized: "No matter what kind of vehicle it is, we must be prepared. This is related to the fate of France!"

"Yes, General!" Major General Monouri stepped forward to answer.

...

At the Darwaise Tractor Factory, the lights used for lighting have been turned off, and the square has fallen into darkness.

Charles finally finished the soldiers' training and let them go back to take a comfortable bath. They need to conserve their energy to deal with tomorrow's battle, rather than exhausting their physical strength with a whole night of training.

Brownie took off his muddy military cap and sat next to Charles, saying in a deep voice:

"They said the Germans are coming in our direction. I thought they would not continue to chase us!"

Charles said "hmm" and thought, if Brownie knew that this was a trap set by Charles to lead the Germans here, would Brownie be so angry that he would beat him up?

"The things you made..." Brownie raised his head towards the tractor in the corner of the square: "Are you sure they are useful?"

If the Germans focus on the machine gun factory, they will send at least a few thousand people up. Doesn't this kid know this? Can this thing defeat thousands of Germans?

"Don't worry, Major!" Charles looked in the direction of the dormitory and said, "My family is here. I bet everything on you to win!"

Major Brownie smiled bitterly. He felt that he was crazy. He actually believed a teenager and did a series of ridiculous things according to his wishes!

Major Brownie looked up at the sky, looking at the sky full of stars and sighed in his heart:

"This world is beautiful. I don't know if I can continue to sit here and watch the stars tomorrow!"
