Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

"Report to the commander, there is the latest situation!"

"Which aspect?"

"It came from Gaul, and the content is basically the same as what you guessed before. The Hans launched a large-scale invasion of West Africa!"

After hearing what the communications director said, everyone in the headquarters looked at Fang Hongye with admiration.

What everyone is thinking about the most right now is, 'Is this the mutual respect between famous generals?'

But in fact, the reason why Fang Hong was able to guess Long Meir's plan was simply because he knew how to think from another's perspective.

Before this, he had been wondering why Long Meir came up with so many weird plans?

Fang Hong also put himself in Long Meir's position. He had been thinking, if he were Long Meir, how could he break the current situation?

It is definitely not advisable to fight the coalition forces directly, so what about launching an attack to the east?

With the length of coastline currently controlled by the coalition forces, if Long Meir wants to mobilize troops to attack from other directions, it is not without any chance, but the problem is that important strategic positions are now controlled by the coalition forces. If Kailuo cannot be captured, as long as Long Meir is not crazy, he will not attack to the east.

Originally, Fang Hong was still considering whether Long Meir was planning to withdraw troops from Europe.

But when He Daqing brought him noodles, Fang Hong, who had been staring at the map, suddenly saw a noodle fall out of the bowl, which made him suddenly think of the last possibility.

I have to say that Long Meir's plan of replacing the old with the new really fooled everyone.

The big move he made this time seemed to be risky, but after he did this, the situation of the Franco-Spanish alliance in Africa has been completely revitalized.

West Africa is the territory of the Gauls, and they have never allowed the armies of their allies to be stationed there. Now, Gaul has transferred all his main forces to the eastern battlefield, which makes the defense of West Africa very weak.

Even though Long Meir doesn't have many soldiers left, with his ability, it will not be a problem for him to take over large tracts of land in West Africa in a short period of time.

"This is indeed a brilliant move, but Long Mei'er is too willing to give up an army of more than 100,000 just like that!"

Although he said this, Fang Hong actually admired his opponent's decisiveness in his heart.

Now that he was leaving, there was no need to take those burdens in his hands with him. First of all, if the hundreds of thousands of colonial troops could stay in their hometown, they might still have some combat effectiveness, but if they followed him to West Africa, he had no way of guaranteeing how much of the morale of this army would be retained by then.

For example, the Italian army under his command, except for a few troops who have always maintained a relatively high morale, most of the remaining troops are full of disgust for war. This time, these people were left behind to cover the retreat, and Long Meir did not make too high demands on them. As long as they could help him buy three to five days, it would be enough.

In fact, this group of people completed the task he assigned very well. They helped Long Meir to delay the task for a whole week.

Now that the agreed time has arrived, the opposing troops have begun to surrender to the coalition forces.

"Commander, the Gallic military has asked us for help again. We hope we can help them retake the West African colony as soon as possible!"

If West Africa is lost, it will have a huge impact on the Free Gaul led by the high-hat leader, especially the more than a dozen colonial divisions formed by the Free Gaul, which may have problems at any time.

"Restore them and tell them that the war has just ended and our troops need to rest. At the same time, this battle consumed a lot of supplies. We have to wait for supplies to be delivered from the mainland before we can set off for West Africa. Now that the war in North Africa is over, they can enter the areas of West Africa that have not been occupied by the Hans before us with the Ying Army. After we have finished resting here, the three of us can work together to completely drive the Hans out of the African continent."

Given the current situation, Fang Hong has no other good solution except to make the Gauls suffer even more.

In the just-concluded session, although the intensity of the battlefield was not high, the soldiers in the army were tired after a whole week. In addition, they also needed to stabilize the order in the occupied areas. Therefore, Fang Hong could not withdraw troops to West Africa to help Gaul fight.

However, in half a month, the second expeditionary force from southern Africa will be sent here. With the addition of these 200,000 fresh troops, Fang Hong will be able to let go and continue to compete with Long Meir.
