325 Where to go?
In the middle of the noisy and messy camp, an extra tall tent stood out as General Lyndon Wan looked intently at the self-made march map, thinking about the next march route.
Since Lin Haoda gained the support of the majority of the French bourgeoisie and controlled the French bourgeois upper class through the National Assembly, the local garrisons were no longer 'friends' of General Lyndon Wan.
The so-called 'golden youth' formed local security armed forces, although the combat effectiveness is not good, but the victory is that they are numerous and ubiquitous, and the troops composed of the golden youth do not need to come out to fight General Lyndon Wan's troops in the field, which leads to General Lyndon Wan's ability to obtain supplies from the French towns without loss as before.
Under the watchful eye of the golden youth, unless General Lyndon Wan led his troops to capture the town, he could only take a detour, and now General Lyndon Wan is not the boss of the original thousands of people, he has tens of thousands of troops and accompanying personnel under his hands, and many soldiers who participated in General Lyndon Wan's rebel army are participating with their families, because they are afraid of being retaliated against by Lin Haoda's Republic government.
This greatly increased the burden on General Lyndon Wan's troops, who could hardly fill the stomach of General Lyndon Wan's troops by hunting wild vegetables and fruits in the field, as well as the little supplies collected from the vast but poor countryside.
Seeing that the reserves were running out over time, General Lyndon Wan had to plan a long-distance Long March again.
At this moment, a hurried figure broke into General Lyndon Wan's tent, and there were not many people in the rebel army who were qualified to enter General Lyndon Wan's tent directly under the guard.
The one who came in was Conrad, General Lyndon Wan's personal adjutant, and he was also a senior officer in charge of intelligence collation in the French National Revolutionary Army, and he was actually General Lyndon Wan's secretary.
"Oh no, General, the Union of Local Autonomy of the City of Rouen formally swore allegiance to the Government of the French Republic two days ago and disarmed itself, and the Union of Lyndon Wan has completely abandoned its original revolutionary ideas and thrown itself into the arms of the dictator of Lin Haoda, under the hands of those decadent and degenerate traitors, and we cannot go forward to seek refuge from them."
Conrad reported with an anxious expression.
"Huh? The city of Rouen, the strongest local self-government alliance, has surrendered, and other cities may not continue to resist Lin Haoda, but I didn't expect that the local self-government alliance, which seems to be strong, is not as good as those French nobles who were swept into the garbage heap by Lin Haoda, and put down their weapons without firing a shot! General Lyndon Wan muttered to himself with a gloomy face.
He knew very well that the surrender of the Zemstvo basically announced that in France today, only he was left with the military force of Lin Haoda, the chief consul of the French Republic, who was formed into an open confrontation with the chief consul of the French Republic, which made General Lyndon Wan feel endless fear in his heart. The great unification of the entire Kingdom of France was almost completed, which was almost unimaginable before!
It is true that the outbreak of the national uprising in Poland attracted the attention of the three major army powers in the European continent, and there was no time to take care of France, but being able to unify France in such a short period of time is enough to show how strong the Young Guards led by Lin Haoda are.
The French Republic is now very prestigious, the only flaw is probably only the navy, Lin Haoda's forces, there is not a single warship, the original French navy would rather remain neutral than Lin Haoda as the chief consul of the French Republic, although the trade of the French overseas colonies has resumed, but refuse to swear allegiance to the new French Republic, this may be the only place that can bring comfort to General Lyndon Wan......
"General, as soon as the Local Autonomy Alliance surrenders, it is equivalent to blocking our 'road', if we fight all the way and are dragged down in the march, it will inevitably attract the encirclement and suppression of Lin Haoda's elite Young Guards." Conrad's anxious tone interrupted General Lyndon Wan's thoughts.
"What's the panic?! Lao Tzu is not dead yet! Don't you understand the essence of the enemy's advance, my retreat, and the enemy's retreat? Since the road is blocked, let's just change the road, France is so big, Lin Haoda's young guards are only more than 100,000 people, and they have to take it out to guard against the Austrians and Prussians, how many people can chase and intercept us?
You and I both know the combat effectiveness of those ridiculous dog-legged golden youths, and they can still fight when they defend their hometowns, and even one of us can't stop us from charging when we go out of the city.
As long as we always hold high the banner of liberating the French nation, the hearts of the French people are on our side, Lin Haoda is a foreigner, no matter how much he does, it is unpopular, and the current situation is just that most people are taken by Lin Haoda's army, don't you see that those navy and colonial governors who are out of Lin Haoda's reach do not have the right to rule? ”
General Lyndon Wan's words once again succeeded in igniting hope in Conrad's heart, this is the power of General Lyndon Wan, who can always give hope to others with 'fallacies', which sounds very reasonable, even if he fails, he can find a lot of reasons that seem very reasonable, and then throw out another greater hope......
"The general is right, Robespierre's government was so embarrassed at the beginning, and it was recognized by the governors of the overseas colonies, and now Lin Haoda has his eyes on the invincible opponents of France, but in the eyes of the governors of the overseas colonies, he is just a traitor."
"Hmph, the reason why those navies remain neutral is just because they can't drive warships to land, they now have the British as backers, but they are not afraid of Lin Haoda, the puppet consul of the republic!
Well, we can't be left behind in terms of propaganda, in the future, all the local troops who worked for Lin Haoda will be derogated to the puppet army, so that the soldiers can publicize it on the march, all the territory and personnel controlled by Lin Haoda are 'pseudo', and only the real French people will shoulder the future of the French nation and revive the glory of the great French nation! ”
"Yes, General! But you haven't said where we're going when the route to Rouen is blocked...... Conrad reminded him very sincerely.
