"General Allenby, will the Germany people really give up attacking Paris because of this?" General D'Esperey was a little unconvinced. After all, the so-called International Pressure is simply illusory. This is undoubtedly too insignificant compared to the outcome of a war. Wanting to rely on the so-called International Pressure to force the Germany people to give up their strategic goals seems very absurd when you think about it.
"General D'Esperey, this is not impossible. You know, the Germany people have always wanted to replace Empire and become the world leader. If we can ruin their reputation, how can they lead the world? In order to maintain their reputation, the Germany people will definitely consider it carefully. Of course, if Germany people really don't want these false names, and there's nothing they can do about it. However, in my opinion, the possibility of Germany people being deceived is very high. After all, Germany people's brains are like precision instruments, so it may be okay for them to think about these things," General Allenby said confidently.
After hearing this, General Gallieni nodded repeatedly. "It would be great if Germany people can really use a weapon against Paris. In this case, we will Paris can make Germany people shed blood. We will win this war and Germany people will lose the chance to defeat French Republic."
These Anglo-French Allied Forces generals all began to daydream.
However, they will soon realize how wrong they were. As German Crown Prince, Oscar doesn't care about the so-called international public opinion at all. He only cares about whether German military can win this battle at the minimum cost. This is what he values. As for the other things, they are not important at all.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
When the explosion sounded, the three people in the office were stunned. The expressions on their faces were completely frozen. Especially General Allenby, he was so confident before, claiming that German military would definitely not attack Paris, and even if he attacked, he would not use heavy artillery. However, the explosion sound that suddenly reached his ears was like a slap, slapping him hard on the face, causing him to freeze, as if he had suddenly turned into a statue.
"God! How is this possible? How could Germany people fire cannons? Do they want to be reviled by the whole world?" General Allenby murmured. Obviously some people couldn't believe it, German military actually dared to fire. You know, this is Paris! A World Cultural City, Germany people dare to use heavy artillery here, aren't they afraid of destroying this place and being condemned by public opinion around the world?
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Continuous explosions kept coming. Obviously, this is undoubtedly the case. General Allenby suddenly turned pale. He knew that he was completely embarrassed this time.
General Gallieni and General D'Esperey also looked very ugly. They all believed that if German military attacked Paris, they would definitely not be able to withstand it with just 500,000 people. Therefore, after General Allenby proposed this plan, they would actively contact the headquarters and the government to help promote it. Allenby also contacted Britain to build momentum.
But what they didn't expect was that after they had been busy for so long, it turned out to be useless. Germany people didn't take the so-called pressure into consideration at all, and still launched an attack. The heavy artillery that should be used is still used.
"What should we do now?" General D'Esperey flashed a hint of Panic in his eyes.
Obviously, General D'Esperey believes that Germany people now have no scruples and directly launched an attack on Paris. If they want to rely on their own strength to resist the attack of the Germany people, or even defeat the Germany people, it is simply impossible.
"We can only rely on ourselves now. Order all troops to prepare for battle." General Gallieni said with a serious face.
Suddenly, a denser explosion sounded, as if the entire earth was shaking.
"Damn, this is a bombing by the Germany people. They not only used heavy artillery, but also used aircraft. Do they really want to reduce Paris to rubble?" General Gallieni's face changed drastically.
"Barbarian, Crown Prince of Germany, is simply a Barbarian. Doesn't he know the importance of Paris? He actually used heavy artillery and aircraft to attack Paris. What a bastard!" General Allenby cursed.
However, it is too late to say this now. German military has undoubtedly shown their attitude with their actual actions, that is, they will not care about anything else at all, they will only try their best to conquer Paris.
General Gallieni and General D'Esperey felt very unhappy that their capital was being shelled and bombed by the Germany people. However, they also have no other way. Now that German military has launched an attack, they can only do their best to fight the Germany people. Apart from this, there is no other way.
German military brazenly shelled and bombed Paris, which also shocked French government and British government. They originally thought that they could use Paris's status in the field of culture and art to instigate Germany's people. But unexpectedly, the Germany people ignored this and launched an attack directly. Paris This world-famous city has been turned into ruins step by step due to the shelling and bombing of the Germany people.
"This behavior of the Germans is undoubtedly extremely barbaric. They are destroying a world-renowned cultural city. They are barbarians who destroy human art treasures! The Germans should be despised by the whole world. Even if they win the war, their unscrupulous behavior is unacceptable to the whole world. The French Republic will never compromise and bow to the Germans. We will continue to fight. One day, what the Germans did in Paris, we will repay them multiple times."
French President Poincaré issued a radio speech, condemning German military's shelling and bombing of Paris, and at the same time called on more French to continue fighting.
At almost the same time, British government also issued a similar statement, condemning German military's destruction of cultural monuments.
As a neutral country, United States also commented on this, believing that German military's behavior was inappropriate. Of course, they are a neutral country. In order to avoid offending Germany, they cannot make too extreme remarks.
