The news of Shire's successful landing soon reached Paris.
The Merit Newspaper once again took the lead, devoting a large section to report on Shire's successful capture of Sector "A" and its strategic significance, exclaiming:
"The whole battle lasted only two hours and ten minutes, with just over three hundred casualties, the troops completed the capture of the 'A' sector line."
"The entire defensive line is 6.1 kilometers in a straight line, but the winding trenches might actually be about 8 kilometers, meaning the troops' advance speed was nearly 4 kilometers per hour."
"That's almost our walking speed."
"They just walked from one end to the other and told the enemy, this place belongs to us now."
"Only Shire could do this, along with his troops!"
...
The French people were not overly concerned about this.
Their expectations for Shire had grown higher, and such victories were already anticipated by them.
