"Your Excellency Commander, it's over, we're done. My troops have been severely damaged by the Germany people. A large number of Germany people are passing through the bridge in a steady stream. It is simply impossible for us to recapture the bridge." General D'Esperey looked frustrated.
The remaining 100,000 troops of General D'Esperey's 1st Army Corps launched a fierce attack on the army that entered the north of Paris city from the south through the bridge. However, one hundred thousand people fought for a whole day, and apart from causing heavy losses to themselves, there was no other result at all. German military has firmly occupied the bridge on the Seine River and is constantly transporting troops to the north bank of the Seine River through the bridge.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the French army stationed in the north of the Seine River.
After the British surrendered, the French army fell into a lonely battle. Their military strength is only less than one-third of German military. The morale of the troops has reached rock bottom. If it weren't for the fact that they were fighting to protect their capital, the army might have collapsed long ago. But even so, as the losses increased, the collapse of the army seemed inevitable.
General Gallieni nodded. He actually had no confidence in 1st Army Corps's attack. After all, German military is too powerful. If Seine River blocks it, it may be difficult for German military to reach the north of the Seine River. However, after several bridges easily fell into the hands of German military, Seine River's natural chasm no longer existed. With German military's powerful combat effectiveness, it is understandable how difficult it would be for the French army to defeat German military.
"General D'Esperey, the current situation is already very critical. Under the Encirclement Offensive of the Germany people, we may not be able to hold on for long." General Gallieni's face was ashen.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." General D'Esperey is also very pessimistic about the current war situation.
"I have asked someone to report the situation here to His Excellency the President. Let us continue to resist until we receive the order from His Excellency the President." General Gallieni said.
General D'Esperey nodded and agreed.
At this moment, French government was heading south. After taking a short break at Orléans, they continued heading south. The destination is Bordeaux. French government Prepare to move there first and wait for the situation to change.
After receiving Telegram from Paris, President Poincaré left to convene Cabinet Minister to discuss countermeasures.
"Damn Britain people, they actually betrayed us, how could they do that?" President Poincaré was very angry. You know, in this war, Britain and France has always been the closest ally. They fight side by side against Germany. Britain sent millions of Expeditionary Force to fight in France, and French Navy also sent the Capital Ships team to Britain to prepare for the second decisive battle with French Navy. It can be said that both countries have tried their best to defeat Germany. But now, at this most critical moment, the entire British Expeditionary Force army actually betrayed France and surrendered directly to the Germany people. This also put the French garrison stationed at Paris into an extremely dangerous situation. This is clearly a stabbing French in the back!
"Your Excellency, this is not what British government meant, but what British Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps generals themselves meant. I believe that British government would not do that. After all, we will have closer cooperation in the future." Prime Minister Rene Viviani said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President. I agree with Your Excellency the Prime Minister. The sudden betrayal of the Britain people is a heavy blow to us. However, this should be just an isolated incident. Generally speaking, the Britain people still unite with us to fight against the Germany. Our navy, after all, has already launched in-depth cooperation." Minister Alexander Millerand said.
Poincaré nodded overall, he believed this too. After all, if France were defeated, it would do absolutely no good to the Britain people. When the time comes that they are alone, they will definitely not be the opponents of the Germany people. The surrender this time should be due to the fact that those Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps guys were afraid of death and surrendered to the Germany people without authorization.
But even this made President Poincaré very angry.
"Inform the Britain people about this matter and ask them to give us an explanation!" President Poincaré said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Your Excellency, President." Commander Ministry of Foreign Affairs nodded.
"Your Excellency, what should we do about the Paris war? The Britain people betrayed and allowed the Germany people to occupy the bridge on the Seine River. It is difficult for them General Gallieni to hold on," said Minister Alexander Millerand.
President Poincaré hesitated for a moment, and then said, "General Gallieni them, let them decide on their own. If they think they can't hold on anymore, they can act cheaply."
"Yes, Your Excellency, President." Alexander? Minister Millerand nodded.
This undoubtedly means that when the war situation is very unfavorable, General Gallieni and others can choose whether to continue to resist, or directly surrender to Germany in order to save the lives of most people.
Even if General Gallieni and others choose to surrender, no one will blame them. After all, the current situation is so unfavorable that it is not easy for them to persist until this moment.
In response to the surrender of British Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps to German military, France strongly protested to British government. British government was also very angry about this matter. They hope to use French to delay time and at the same time weaken the strength of Germany people as much as possible. Now, French was stabbed in the back by British Expeditionary Force. No wonder French is quite angry about this.
British government assured France that this was just an individual case. Britain, like France, hopes to continue the war. In order to appease France, British government even stated that he would put General Allenby on trial. Of course, now General Allenby is staying in the prisoner-of-war camp of Germany people and can only be tried in absentia. But this undoubtedly shows an attitude to French. In the end, the military court of Britain sentenced General Allenby to death by hanging. It's just that they never had the chance to execute it.
German military's attack on Paris became more and more intense. Under the fierce attack of German military, the French army suffered heavy losses. Three days later, the French troops who stayed behind Paris surrendered to German military in despair. Paris Garrison Commander official General Gallieni chose to commit suicide by swallowing a gun.
