The citizens of Metz are in the midst of a celebration.
Since the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, Metz has been under German rule for a full 46 years, and now it has finally returned to France.
People are singing and dancing, flowers are scattered everywhere in the streets, and they cheer for the entering French Army.
Yet in the city hall on Champier Island, Shire is discussing the handover with Tijani and the British Army.
(Note: Metz has three islands surrounded by rivers, namely Great Sol Island, Little Sol Island, and Champier Island)
Tijani doesn't understand Shire's actions, not at all, and speaks with agitation:
"We are just one step away from recovering the entire territory, General, victory is waiting for us right in front!"
"The German Army is unprepared, while we have the Armored Army and two motorized divisions, along with Fuxu and Petain's troops behind us."
"Why don't we attack Alsace and end all of this?"
