Le Havre, located at the mouth of the Seine River. Since ancient times, it has been an important shipbuilding base and naval base in France. When France and Britainpeted for maritime supremacy, the main force of the French navy gathered here.


    It''s a pity that with the failure of France and Spain in the decisive sea battle against Britain, Francepletely lost its ambition topete with Britain for maritime supremacy. After entering the 20th century, the French navy can be regarded as one of the few world maritime powers. Butpared with before, there is already a huge gap. Even the main force of the French navy had to withdraw from the Antic coast and go to the small pond in the Mediterranean Sea to dominate. They simply didn''t have the courage to fight for maritime supremacy.


    This also made Le Havre, the naval base, deserted.


    It''s just that now Le Havre has be lively again. Because almost all the defeated soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force in France retreated here. The British Expeditionary Force has a total of 5 armies on the French battlefield. The 1st Army was severely damaged in Rouen, losing more than half. The Second Army suffered extremely heavy losses on the Marne River defense line, almost on the verge of copse, and is currently withdrawing to southern France with the main force of the French army. The 3rd Army was surrounded and wiped out on the Rouen front, and the 4th Army surrendered in Paris. Only the 5th Army, which had just arrived in France, was still in full strength. It''s just that the 5th Army is a newly formed army with limitedbat effectiveness. Now it is only hiding in Le Havre with the remnants of the 1st Army.


    Sir French, themander of the British Expeditionary Force, also rushed to Le Havre. However, the current situation is already very critical for the British and French coalition forces. The German army has already upied an absolute advantage on the French battlefield. The British and French allied forces are being pressed step by step. It can be said that defeating them is only a matter of time.


    "Your Excellency, the French''s tentative attack justunched has failed. They once again lost a lot of troops. The Germans are continuing to attack them south. The French are not far from defeat. Therefore, I think We can no longer stay in France. This is tantamount to waiting to die here. If we can return to the UK, we can also participate in the defense of the homnd. The 300,000 troops will y a vital role in the defense of the homnd role." Admiral Haig,mander of the 1st Army of the British Expeditionary Force, suggested.


    "General Haig, I know what you mean. However, neither the Cab nor the War Department gave us an order to evacuate. Therefore, we cannot evacuate at all now." Sir French sighed.


    If possible, he certainly hopes to lead his army back to the British maind. However, the order to retreat was not issued, so he obviously couldn''t order the troops to retreat without authorization, right? In that case, there is a problem.


    "Your Excellency, the time is critical now, and we cannot dy any longer. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious. The Germans are already mobilizing troops toe to Le Havre. Those who appeared outside Le Havre The German army is their 1st Army. The strength is almost the same as ours. The 8th Army, which appeared before, disappearedter. However, it has reappeared now. It can be predicted that the Germans have solved their internal problems and began to withdraw Troops areing against us. It''s going to be very bad for us," Admiral Haig said.


    ording to the German troops that appeared on the outskirts of Le Havre, Admiral Haig could feel that the German attack might be imminent. It is obviously impossible for the troops stationed in Le Havre by the British Expeditionary Force to resist the attack of the two elite German armies.


    "General Haig, I will ask the country for instructions. However, you should also know that the possibility of the country allowing us to retreat is probably very small. Our navy will also join forces with the French navy to fight the German navy again. If we can If we win, the situation of the battle will be rewritten ordingly. If we fail, then we will really losepletely." Sir French said.


    "That is to say, we have to wait until the navy and the Germans decide the oue again before we can determine whether we can withdraw to the country?" Admiral Haig said.


    Sir French nodded. Although, this feeling of handing over his life and death to others made him very ufortable. But Sir French had no other choice. For the sake of the overall situation, this is impossible.


    "General Haig, now we are all in Le Havre under yourmand. I only have one request, and that is to persist as long as possible until our navy and the German navy decide the oue!" Sir French said.


    "Okay, sir, I will try my best!" Admiral Haig nodded.


    When the British army was preparing to resist the German attack in Le Havre, the German 1st Army and 8th Army had already arrived in Le Havre. Originally, the 8th Army went north to monitor the 4th Army that had changed. This made the 1st Army notunch an attack immediately after arriving, but waited for the opportunity.


    Now, the Kingdom of Wurttemberg has put down the rebellion, and the royal family of Wurttemberg has also been uprooted. The German offensive can naturally continue.


    In Qin Tian''s previous n, he used two group armies to deal with the remaining troops of the British Expeditionary Force, eliminate them, and create favorable conditions for the subsequentnding in the British maind.


    On May 6, the day Qin Tian ascended the throne in Berlin and proimed himself emperor, the German 1st Army and 8th Army began to discuss the attack on Le Havre.


    "Today is the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne in Berlin. Since we have no chance to return to Berlin to attend the ceremony, then, let''s use a victory to celebrate His Majesty''s enthronement ceremony!" Admiral Crook said.


    The death of William II was a big blow to veterans like them. Fortunately, the rebellion has subsided. His Majesty William III, who is more outstanding than William II, will also ascend the throne and proim himself emperor. This means that Germany will have a brighter future. The generals on the front line are also more confident.


    "Yes! If we can eat the 300,000 British Expeditionary Force, then the British Expeditionary Force is finished. The next French will surely surrender. We just need to prepare for thest battle. ’” Lieutenant General Ludendorff said. Thest battle he talked about was naturally the battle tond on the British maind. The various regiments of the German Army are eagerly looking forward to bing troopsnding in the British maind. This will be a great honor for them.
