French radios: a funding delay rather than refusal by generals

Did French generals refuse to use radios?

Alex says they requested radios, but the government's funding schedule delayed provision.

Alex rejects a chat claim that French generals refused radios and says they had been requesting them. He attributes the delay to government funding rules that placed the equipment roughly another year and a half away. His counterfactual of war starting two years later includes French radios, newer tanks and additional artillery. Those projected improvements form his explanation of why delay would have made the German campaign harder.
