Shire nodded, gladly accepting, and added, "As for the commander of the Central Army Group, I can only entrust it to Petain."
Shire used the word "only" in his speech, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.
This was to inform Fuxu that it was not his wish to let Petain be the commander, but Petain had the credit of guarding Verdun, and his "defense theory" had certain popularity and quite a few supporters. It wouldn't be reasonable not to give it to him.
Fuxu had no objections: "Although I have differences in ideology with General Petain, his achievements on the battlefield are undeniable. I agree."
"Lastly, the commander of the Eastern Army Group…" Fuxu's gaze towards Shire was uncertain.
The commander of the Eastern Army Group, Vice Admiral Castelno, was someone from Parliament. This army group was also the most heavily infiltrated. Could Shire still uproot them?
Shire had no such intention.
