"Your Excellency, I hope to form 13th Army Corps, 14th Army Corps and 15th Army Corps." Marshal Joffre said.
"Form three more armies?" President Poincaré frowned.
If three more group armies are formed, then French Army will have formed a total of 15 group armies, with a total strength of more than three million. Moreover, this almost wiped out all the young adults in France. Sending the people over there to die on the battlefield will be a heavy blow to French society and the entire France nation.
"Your Excellency, we need to prepare for subsequent operations. If we want to continue to resist the Germany people's attack, we must have a stronger force. With all the frontline units suffering heavy losses, three new groups were formed The army will give us more strength to fight against the Germany people. Otherwise, we may not be able to survive until the end." Marshal Joffre continued.
"Your Excellency, the war has caused the government to be heavily in debt. If we want to form three more armies, it will undoubtedly require a lot of money. And the government, I am afraid, can no longer afford that much money." Secretary of the Treasury Alexander? Ribot said.
"No matter how big the difficulty is, the funding problem must be solved. If we lose the war, the price we will pay will be much more than forming three new armies." Marshal Joffre said.
Alexander? Ribot said nothing more, but looked at President Poincaré, as if waiting for his decision. If President Poincaré decides to form more troops, then he will naturally not object.
"Marshal Joffre, I agree with your opinion to form three more armies. However, these are the last three armies. Next, we will have no extra funds or soldiers to form new troops." President Poincaré reminded. He said this to give Marshal Joffre a warning, lest Marshal Joffre have to form more troops after this time. In that case, it would be endless.
"Yes, Your Excellency, President." Marshal Joffre nodded. Of course he knew that the country's mobilization was almost reaching its limit, and he was satisfied to be able to form three more armies.
"Your Excellency Sir, French Republic has decided to continue the war. So, is British Empire also willing to continue the fight? I think British Empire should continue to support French Republic at this time." President Poincaré said.
"Your Excellency, I will report France's attitude to the country. Personally, I am naturally willing to continue to support France in fighting the war." Sir French said.
Like France, British Empire does not want to surrender to Germany. Then, they must continue to fight the war. Not to mention, they are carefully preparing to let Royal Navy regain his strength and then have a decisive battle with German Navy. However, it takes time for British Royal Navy to prepare again. In order to win, British Army naturally needs to buy enough preparation time for the navy.
Now, French is willing to continue the war, which is naturally the best. What's more, French and Germany fight harder and harder the longer they fight, which is also of great benefit to the British Empire. At least it can make Germany pay a greater loss on French front, thereby weakening the power of Germany.
President Poincaré nodded, Britain people are willing to continue fighting, that is naturally the best. In this case, they can have greater strength to fight against the Germany people.
"So, gentlemen, what should we do next? The Germany people's next attack target must be Paris." President Poincaré said.
There is no doubt that Paris has become a very dangerous place now. When German military approaches Paris, this place will become a battlefield. For President Poincaré, he naturally does not want to be in the battlefield.
"Your Excellency, Paris is the capital of the French Republic. If a war breaks out here, Paris will be in ruins. This is undoubtedly a sad thing. We should probably try our best to prevent Paris from falling into war." Prime Minister Rene Viviani said.
"Oh, is there any way?" President Poincaré asked.
"Perhaps, we can evacuate Paris. Then, declare Paris an undefended city." Prime Minister Rene Viviani suggested.
"What? Let Paris be undefended? How is this possible?" Marshal Joffre exclaimed.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this is absolutely not possible. Isn't this giving up Paris to the Germany people? I would rather go to war with the Germany people in Paris, Even if Paris is reduced to rubble, Paris cannot be handed over to Germany people like this! "Marshal Joffre's attitude is very determined.
Prime Minister Rene Viviani's face suddenly became a little unsightly.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister has no other intentions. He just doesn't want this beautiful city Paris to be destroyed by the war." President Poincaré said.
"I know, Your Excellency, President. However, I still think that we need to keep fighting the Paris and the Germany people. Paris is a big city. If we fight the Germany people here, the Germany people will have to pay an extremely heavy price to occupy Paris. If Paris is abandoned, it will undoubtedly be cheaper for Germany people. If Paris is destroyed in the war, we can easily rebuild Paris. But if France loses the war, everything will be over!" Marshal Joffre said.
"Your Excellency, I suggest that government agencies evacuate Paris immediately, and civilians also evacuate Paris. I will let the troops retreated from the front line be stationed in Paris. We will fight to the death with Germany people here." Marshal Joffre said.
President Poincaré opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
The next day, French President Poincaré, Prime Minister Rene Viviani, and all members of the government evacuated Paris and fled to southern France. At the same time, millions of residents in Paris also fled Paris in panic. These Parisians, with their families and their families and salutes, fled Paris by car, carriage, or even on foot. They all know that Paris will soon become a battlefield. These civilians don't want to be killed in the battle. Therefore, escaping Paris became the only option.
On the opposite side of these people, French Army is rushing to Paris from everywhere, preparing to fight German military here.
