Swimmy is a delightfully chill man, who not only can take a joke, but actually partake in self-deprecating humour. He's really growing into my favourite character in this anime.

Loving the 7D chess on behalf of Braun’s army. Retreating into the enemy’s lands to loop around to friendly lines

Austria Hungary calling out the Germans for losing is like backwards history.

You gotta admit, the last move the German army would've expected would be a retreat to the other side of the continent. Across their territory no less.

This is a bit toxic

It’s like if when Napoleon was retreating from Moscow he decided to try and retreat through Siberia towards China instead

ah yes Swimmy "Me no want allies, Me play solo" at it again

I like to imagine the majority of those attrition losses were desertion after hearing the phrase "I can send another 600k men I'm doing it"

Ah yes, the famous battle of charleroi where after losing, the French retreated through the entirety of Germany to Russia!

When you retreat so hard you go from the western front to the eastern front

French Army: Don’t worry guys I have a plan

"Not to worry, we're still flying half an industry"

Historians: Napoleons retreat from Russia is considered one of the most tragic in French history.

That moment when almost 1 million French soliders retreat from a battle in Belgium to the eastern front all the way across Germany, and only 70 thousand people survive.

Imagine if this was the same mentality of the Allied commanders during WW2.

France: about to win the Great War

As soon as I saw golden was Austria I was like “Oh boy this is gonna be great”

PEEPEE

French officers: we shall retreat

-French army retreats all the way across Germany into Russia
