Chapter 754 Copying Charles's Troops

Paris City Hall.

Lieutenant Colonel Dura pushed open the door and walked into the Prime Minister's office with a panicked look. He walked up to Briand who was reviewing documents and said hesitantly, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister..."

Briand said "hmm" and raised his eyelids slightly: "Is everything going well?"

"No, Your Excellency," Lieutenant Colonel Dura replied, "It was not going very well. In fact, we failed."

Brian was stunned, his hand movements stopped instantly, and he looked up at Lieutenant Colonel Dura in disbelief.

In the second game, there was no way to deal with Clemenceau?

"Yes, it was Charles." Lieutenant Colonel Dura looked pale: "He took the initiative..."

"Then send more men," said Briand, making no effort to conceal his uneasiness.

Clemenceau may bring out all of his previous scandals at any time, which will cause a huge uproar in the political arena.

"Prime Minister." Lieutenant Colonel Dura said with a hint of fear in his eyes: "I think we'd better be cautious."

"What do you mean?" asked Briand.

He had never seen Lieutenant Colonel Dura speak in this tone. How could the Second Bureau "remain cautious"?

They can create any possible accident if they want.

But Dura replied:

"We are not facing ordinary opponents, Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

"That's an intelligence organization. Charles created an intelligence organization of his own."

“This organization is very tight and huge, it’s even above the second inning.”

Briand immediately understood the seriousness of this.

If Ciel has an intelligence system that is more powerful than the Second Bureau, it means that the initiative to arrange "accidents" is not in the hands of the government, but in the hands of Ciel.

Briand felt a chill run down his spine. Had the breakfast he had eaten, the car he had ridden, and the people around him been replaced with Charles's spies without anyone noticing?

Lieutenant Colonel Du La understood Briand's expression, and he comforted him: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will send more people to protect you. At the same time, I don't think he will do this."

"Why?" asked Briand, not wanting this to be just empty words of comfort.

"Charles's purpose is to support Clemenceau," Colonel Duras replied. "If he does that, Clemenceau will be suspected, which will be bad for everyone."

Briand felt a little relieved.

Lieutenant Colonel Dura was right. Clemenceau was the one who wanted to run for prime minister. The charge of assassinating the current prime minister to put himself in office had a great impact on him. Neither Charles nor Clemenceau would be so stupid.

But then Briand thought that they would definitely find other ways to force him to step down.

What is it?

Briand stood up and walked back and forth anxiously. He couldn't think of what Clemenceau would do. He only knew that he should have more chips.

"You may go now," said Briand to Colonel Duras. "Send Gamelin to me."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

…

Gan Molin was feeling depressed and frustrated during this period.

He felt like he was being kicked around like a ball.

When he was appointed commander of the 6th Army a few months ago, he thought he would finally no longer have to stay in the office doing useless strategic planning.

However, Charles drove him away within a few days of his return.

A similar thing happened again recently: he was appointed commander of the reserve army group, but was soon dismissed and transferred back.

This time was even shorter-lived than the last time. He was in office for less than a day and had no time to do anything.

Gan Molin felt like he had become a joke. People talked about him behind his back, saying that he was a clown who tried every means to squeeze into the military but was always kicked out.

"I should go to the battlefield!" Gan Molin said to himself, "Otherwise it will be too late, and I can only watch this war end without any honor!"

Sometimes Gamolin thought that if he were in charge of the battlefield, his prestige might be equal to or even surpass that of Charles.

Just as he was sitting at his desk, casually flipping through the battle report, Lieutenant Colonel Dura knocked on the door and came in.

"Major General," Lieutenant Colonel Dura said, "The Prime Minister wants you to go to his office."

Prime Minister?

Gan Molin's eyes lit up, he felt that his chance might be coming.

…

Sure enough, when Gamelin walked into Briand's office and stood before him, Briand said, "I heard you have been studying Charles' tactics?"

"Yes, Prime Minister," Gamelin replied. "Although I don't like Charles, it is a fact that he has achieved great success on the battlefield. I want to find out the reason for his victory."

"Have you found it?" Briand asked again.

"Yes." Gamelin's eyes were full of confidence: "I think the key lies in his tank. The 'Charter A1' is a perfect combination of speed, protection and firepower. It is the key to Charr's victory."

Briand stared at Gamelin and said in a low voice: "Well, if I gave you an army like this, would you be able to win like Charles did?"

"Of course, Prime Minister." Gamelin replied confidently, "It's not difficult."

I am the wisest man in France. What Charles can do, I can do too.

Brian nodded in satisfaction: "Remember the Second Special Artillery Division?"

"Yes of course."

The French army has formed two special artillery divisions, namely the First Special Artillery Division commanded by Christian and the Second Special Artillery Division commanded by Tijani.

However, Tijani was transferred to Charles's side and was given an important position, leaving the 2nd Special Artillery Division to be incorporated into the Eastern Army Group.

Briand handed Gamelin a freshly signed transfer order:

"You are the commander of the Second Special Artillery Division. Go and receive your troops."

"I hope you remember what I said and achieve victory like Ciel did."

"We are all waiting for news of your victory!"

Gamelin took the transfer order and looked at it, then looked up at Briand: "But Mr. Prime Minister, I remember that the Second Special Artillery Division is equipped with 'Saint-Chamond' and 'CA-1' tanks, which are far from Charles' tanks..."

"No, Major General." Briand interrupted Gamelin. "It is equipped with the 'Charles A1', and we have expanded it into a mechanized division, with the same organization and equipment as Charles's First Armored Corps."

Then Briand added: "They are even trained alike, General."

Gan Molin understood.

A commander who studied Charr's tactics, and a force organized and equipped according to the First Armored Army.

They hope to replicate the Shire's victory!

"Yes, Prime Minister." Gamelin stepped forward and answered, "I will do it!"

Looking at Gamelin's back as he left, Briand murmured, "You'd better do it."

Briand was trying to gain political capital for himself.

If Charles' victory could be replicated, Briand would tell people: the Prime Minister would replicate several "Charles troops" and lead the country to complete victory.

Will people still drive him out of office then?

Could Charles and Clemenceau still drive him out?
