On a starry night, the German Army in Antwerp was still busy.
Worried about guerrilla infiltration, the German Army didn't even dare to "hire" Belgians to build fortifications. They organized all the people they deemed trustworthy to construct fortifications, including logistics personnel, signalers, and even officers.
A series of forts and trenches surrounded the center, which was Antwerp City.
Inside the city, the estate villa that originally belonged to Albert I was brightly lit, and the staff were bustling about trying to gather more information through phone calls and telegrams.
Telegrams were handed over one by one to Major General Marcus, but his frown deepened.
Finally, he could no longer hold back and stood up with a "thump", angrily throwing the telegram onto the table, and harshly questioned, "I just want to know the position of the French Army, can anyone tell me where their main force is? I need a location, an exact location!"
No one answered, because no one knew.
