In the meeting hall, only Briand remained calm throughout.
He knew the state of Parliament, with many members bought by the British or even the Germans. If this battle plan was revealed in Parliament, it would no longer be a secret to the Germans.
However, Briand faced a dilemma. He couldn't use this to reject Gallieni's plan, nor was his military knowledge sufficient to find flaws in it.
After thinking for a while, Briand believed he had found a breakthrough.
He walked up to the podium with a map, looked up at Gallieni and asked, "Minister, the key point of this plan is to capture the Liege Fortress, correct?"
"Yes," Gallieni nodded, everything was based on capturing the Liege Fortress.
"But as far as I know, the Liege Fortress has been eighty percent restored by the Germans." Briand asked again, "Moreover, the Germans have laid a large number of mines, barbed wire, and anti-tank trenches outside the fortress. How can Shire capture it?"
