The news of the victory reached the Paris City Defense Command, but there was no cheering; the response from the command seemed rather subdued.
At that time, Major Fernan answered the phone, then he looked up towards Gallieni, who was standing a few meters away, watching the current situation on the map: "General, the Germans have surrendered, we have successfully recaptured Lafox!"
Major Fernan's voice was calm, and others only nodded quietly upon hearing it, as if they had already known this outcome, totally unsurprised.
Gallieni merely responded with a "hmm," his eyes still fixed on the map.
Indeed, the truth was that, unlike the uninformed Xia Fei Command, the City Defense Headquarters had a grasp of every tiny movement on the front line from beginning to end, both on the ground and in the air.
They watched Shire advancing steadily and methodically, with every step being unexpected yet within reason.
