Zhang Chi could only be speechless when he refuted Montgomery.

This is indeed just Zhang Chi's guess, but isn't war like this? Shouldn't war have a lot of speculation and analysis, and sometimes even take risks and try their luck? Does it mean that the enemy's intelligence must be investigated clearly in detail before the next action can be taken?

If this is the case, it will not be a war, but a cheater!

Oh, yes, the British did have cheaters, that is, "super secrets", but it was precisely because of the "super secrets" that they obtained a lot of top-secret information about the German army, which made Montgomery too cautious and not fight unprepared wars.

Perhaps, this is also Montgomery's character. Didn't he missed the opportunity to wipe out the African Legion several times because of his overly cautiousness?

Zhang Chi just didn't expect that after he made such a big change and created such a good opportunity, the problem of "missing opportunities because of excessive caution" would still occur.

Let’s look at the British officials in the conference room. From their expressions, we can see that no one advocates attack like Zhang Chi.

So Zhang Chi knew that nothing he said would be futile.

"Okay!" Zhang Chi then stood up: "Since that's the case, I think there is no need to continue this meeting!"

He was unwilling to waste his time here again, although he knew that staying would receive compliments and praise from the British official.

But what can this happen?

For people like Zhang Chi who have walked out of the battlefield and experienced the test of life and death, there may be only two things in this world that he cares about, one is to live and the other wins.

"General!" Ramsden chased after him from behind.

"If you want me to go back...sorry!" said Zhang Chi.

"No!" Ramsden shook his head: "I came here to tell you that your analysis is correct. This is our chance to defeat the African Legion!"

"Then why are you..." Zhang Chi looked at Ramsden angrily.

"But general, you don't know what kind of army the Eighth Army is!" Ramsden explained: "At the same time, you don't know what kind of officers we have!"

"Is this related to what kind of army the Eighth Army is? And those officers?!"

"Of course it's related!" Ramsden said while accompanying Zhang Chi: "The Eighth Army... is an army that has been defeated repeatedly. Do the general understand? They have lost the confidence and morale to win under the attack of the Germans. Most of them only hope to defend the current defense line, so they will not choose to attack unless they are absolutely certain, or they are forced into a dead end!"

Zhang Chi said "Oh": "So, those officers also have the same idea, right?"

"Of course!" Ramsden nodded: "In addition, they have another mentality!"

"Another psychology?"

"They are afraid that they will lose it after finally winning!" said Ramsden. "Although this victory is achieved by you!"

"What does it mean?" Zhang Chi couldn't understand this.

"You know, the UK is under the blockade and bombing of the Germans at this time!"

"Um!"

“They desperately need a victory to motivate them to stick with it!”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but nodded, empathizing with Zhang Chi because China is in the same situation.

"So now there is finally a good news. Why don't we let this good news last longer?"

Zhang Chi couldn't help but realize it suddenly.

Simply put, if an attack is launched now, it is very likely that it will immediately turn into failure. Montgomery's butt will be pulled down before he even sat on the altar... On the contrary, if he does not attack, the British government can always use this good news to inspire the people. Of course, Montgomery can also sit on the altar of victory, at least until the next battle.

Zhang Chi thought that this may also be the main reason why Montgomery was too cautious in history... In other words, compared to the war itself, Montgomery cared more about his image among the British people.

He could proudly say to the British people: "Look, no one else can resist the German attack when leading the Eighth Army, but I can!"

It is precisely because he has to maintain this image carefully that he has to make sufficient preparations on the battlefield before he dares to attack without taking any risks.

"Also..." Ramsden continued: "This even includes the Prime Minister's political needs!"

"British Prime Minister?"

"Yes!" Ramsden smiled helplessly: "Prime Minister Churchill is not going well in the country. Some members of the parliament are planning to organize a vote of distrust of him. They are very dissatisfied with the performance of the British army during Prime Minister Churchill's tenure. Sir Stafford Cripps, the minister of the seal, even threatened to resign... So, do you know how important the victory you have achieved? This is what Prime Minister Churchill longs for, just like hoping that there will be a ray of sunshine that can sweep away the thick fog in London, and your victory is that ray of sunshine!"

"So!" Zhang Chi said: "He hopes to maintain this state for a longer time, so he doesn't want the Eighth Army to continue attacking?"

"Yes!" Ramsden nodded: "Churchill can use this victory to slap the MPs who want to vote for him to vote for distrust, and he can also regain the trust of most MPs and the support of the people with this victory. But if... we launch a rash attack and fail, then all this will take a sharp turn!"

"So he can't take this risk?" Zhang Chi asked back.

"Yes!"

Zhang Chi smiled bitterly: "So, I wonder if your Prime Minister has ever thought... because of his needs, it is very likely that the Eighth Army will pay the price for missing this opportunity, that is, the death and injury of thousands of people!"

Ramsden shrugged and said, "Who can be sure? Just like General, you are not sure, we will definitely win after launching an attack, right? And with the current negative state of the Eighth Group, maybe the attack will be based on your suggestions, and there will be thousands of casualties and injuries in the end, but they will eventually return without success!"

Ramsden's words were true. Just like what Zhang Chi saw in the conference room just now, the British officers were temporarily satisfied with the current victory. This was a rare victory for them, so they had to enjoy it for a while, so they had no intention of fighting again from top to bottom.
