From the perspective of "shearing the sheep," Shire hesitated on the authorization of directional mines and landmines.
"Although this appears trivial, it concerns the life and death of France, Your Majesty." Shire looked at Albert I, his face carrying a sincere apology: "You know, it is precisely with these landmines that we managed to halt the German offensive at Verdun.

"I understand, General!" Albert I hastily replied: "But we are enemies of the Germans. We will strictly adhere to confidentiality regulations. We equally do not want the Germans to discover the weaknesses of landmines."
Shire shook his head lightly in difficulty: "I might not be able to help you, or at least not now."
