do you really want to know?

真想知道吗
Of course!

是啊
The French were bleating

法国人在抱怨
about the devastation in bricks and mortar

他们的房产
they've incurred by enemy action.

在战争中受损严重
I saw soundly it was no more than one year's

而我算出这并不比和平年代
normal peace-time dilapidation spread over the whole country.

全国一年内因房屋失修造成的损失更多
How wonderful.

真让人松口气
So the argument for French command of the Western Front

这样法国人这一季内就别想以此为由
gets kicked out of court for a season.

夺得西线指挥权了
But weren't you arguing against your own convictions?

你这不是在跟自己唱反调吗
Yes, of course. But MacMaster depends on me.

的确是可麦克马斯特还指着我呢
