344 double-deck gun battleship
The large number of Dutch politicians and wealthy people who fled caused the administrative system of the cities of the United Provinces of the Netherlands to deteriorate and collapse greatly, and many Dutch people in important official positions ran away, and naturally there was no one to run the city......
Moreover, the withdrawal of large amounts of cash has brought down the economy of large and medium-sized cities in the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, with a large number of shops closing every day, and even reputable Dutch banks have begun to transfer their assets on a large scale.
The whole of Europe knows that Lin Haoda is an unreasonable hungry wolf, and there is no need for a reason to kill people, except for the French, no one dares to leave their family in Lin Haoda's occupation area......
This phenomenon made the Dutch regular army, which was already unstable, collapse, and those Dutch soldiers who were ordered to stay and hold on, watched the officials and wealthy merchants in the city 'move' with large bags and small bags, but they had to be left here to resist the invincible young guards with their bodies and flesh and blood, who would balance their hearts?
With the flight of a large number of wealthy people and government officials, a large number of deserters began to appear in the Dutch army, and basically as long as they were not tied to their families, they tried to get out of the place that was considered dead, and the Young Guards would inevitably attack large and medium-sized cities.
Even if they have families, as long as they have a little money to spare, they will leave the city with their families, and they may not be able to escape far, but in most people's impressions, it is safer to stay in the vast countryside than in the city, which is also the self-comfort of those Dutch civilians who can't run far......
As a result, before the Young Guards could reach these cities, the combat effectiveness of the Dutch army in the city defense was reduced to a negative number, and the officers were thinking about how to get a ticket to leave at the last moment, and the soldiers were thinking about how to escape early after the fight broke out to save their lives.
The Dutch in the city are much richer than the Dutch in the countryside, and they are naturally unwilling to fight to the death with Lin Haoda, and most of the Dutch militia that have been spontaneously organized are people who have left their hometown and have no place to live, and they know very well that they may starve to death if they leave their hometown, so it is better to take up arms and fight hard.
The diametrically opposed attitudes of the rich and the poor in the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands have become a major irony of the European continent, of course, neither Lin Haoda nor the anti-French coalition of the European continent will set their eyes on this, and even the countries around the Netherlands still welcome this kind of behavior, those rich people who flee to neighboring countries with large sums of money are all 'roosters' who will lay golden eggs, and this group of people will bring a lot of liquidity to various countries, whether it is to invest in building factories or paying taxes, it is of great benefit to the receiving country.
This is why all the countries of Europe are willing to accept exiles, and apart from political factors, who is eligible for exile, who does not go with a large fortune?
Who cares if the Dutch economy will be set back a few years as a result?
Who told them that they couldn't beat Lin Haoda?
This is the bitter fruit that the defeated side should bear!
The situation in the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands soon spread throughout the surrounding countries, and Lin Haoda also got the specific news soon after, which was summed up in one sentence - the Dutch should not be afraid.
Although Amsterdam, as the capital of the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, has not yet fallen into the hands of Lin Haoda, in fact, the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands has no resistance, and this is a country where the national idea has not really taken root.
When the upper class of society rushed to flee, basically the country lost the strength to continue to resist, Napoleon was able to sweep the entire European continent, and the feudal system of European countries at that time has a great relationship, Napoleon needs to defeat not the European nations, but the aristocratic class sitting on the heads of various nations, as long as the main force of the aristocratic regular army of the European continent countries at that time is completely defeated, basically the country has lost all resistance, and there is no shadow of the people's war or something......
In the end, it was the Russians who were smarter, knew that the army represented everything, and used the cold to play hide-and-seek guerrilla warfare with Napoleon's army, and after exhausting Napoleon, they won with one blow!
At a time when the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands was recognized as losing its ability to resist, Lin Haoda also received a strategic victory reward from the Total War system:
[Congratulations on completely defeating the resistance of the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, your reputation has been increased again, to level 17 prestige, and the template of the naval arms has been opened - 38-gun frigate and main frigate.]

"The double-deck capital gunboat has just appeared, although it can barely be used, but at most it is used to break the attack and disturb the naval battle, it is difficult to confront the British fleet, forget it, the enemy on land has not been solved yet, or don't waste the hard-won reward opportunity in exchange for this kind of main frigate that is not up or down." Lin Haoda frowned and thought for a few seconds, but still chose the Young Guards to exchange as before.
He is about to face an anti-French alliance that is far more powerful than Napoleon, and he is about to go to war with almost all the countries in Europe......
The number of rewards for such a strategic victory depends on the strength of the opponents in the war, and the Dutch are clearly not in the middle of the total war system, Lin Haoda defeated hundreds of thousands of Dutch troops, militia forces, and European mercenaries, but only rewarded 50,000 young guards......
Thanks to the cooperation of the Belgian young cannon fodder, Lin Haoda only lost 10,000 Young Guards and 20,000 Imperial Guards in the Breda offensive and defensive battle, that is to say, the supplemented Lin Haoda has 190,000 Young Guards!
To Lin Haoda's surprise, after the reward was settled, because Lin Haoda was about to occupy the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, the all-out war system rewarded him with an additional 50,000 Imperial Guards, but this time, the reward of the Imperial Guard appeared an option that surprised Lin Haoda.
