Chapter 8: The Big Goodbye
Part 17: Freedom Fries
General Johnson!
What is that, Holt? Let's see those troop dispositions! And the plan!
For our war with France?
France? You must mean Freedom.
Yessir, our war against Freedom.
We start with our amazing strategy in Africa...
We have 20 divisions under AP Hill, General Taylor..
Who is General Taylor?
Oh, one of our rising stars, he commands 36 divisions, then to his north we have General Beauregard with 19 divisions and a strategic reserve of 10 devisions.
So that's... 85 divisions in North Africa. Against?
970 men of the French Legion.
Ouch.
We also have an expeditionary force for the West African colonies.
Ok. Lets get to the main event.
In Indochina, we have 20 divisions in Burma under General McCulloch, another rising star. Except that he's harsh and Elderly.
General DH Hill commands the China army with 24 divisions, north of Annam. Their job will be to annex the entire country.
Then, we have the 99 divisions offshore of Thailand lead by General Kirby Smith with General Hood as his adjutant. . They intend to conquer Bangkok and eject the French. The French have 30 regular divisions guarding the coast.
Sounds like it should be a snap.
Unlikely, Kampengpak is well fortified. 4 regular divisions vs 20 divisions in Thailand. It is best that we let them reinforce and then charge into Kampengpak to destroy their morale. That will open the north. Kirby Smith has orders to establish a beachhead with 40 divisions in Bangkok and the rest will tie down French forces. Once that's done we should be able to crack the French.
What if they spoil our plans and surrender?
The French? Surrender? You must be mad. The French are warriors. They will never surrender.
