Despite all his concerns, none of this prevented Count Louis from adopting a policy of being in harmony with the generals. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, he also has a certain responsibility for this defeat, after all, the highest official guarding Lisbon is the Count of Louis, although the supreme military commander is not him, but he is the actual highest commander, and he will also use a major war to seek Portugal and himself out of the current predicament.

In fact, the Count of Louis also has concerns, if the military operation fails again, I am afraid that even the king will not be able to reuse himself, how big is Portugal? There is not much depth at all, even if it is a vassal to Spain again, Spain will not dare to accept it, don't you see that Spain has established four port cities as a concession area of the Chinese Empire? Didn't you see two port cities, including Gibraltar, becoming territories of the Chinese Empire? Although this group of officers is guaranteed to win, can they be guaranteed to shirk their own responsibility? Joke! How can the army generals be such old-fashioned horse manure! 、

The more Count Louis thought about it, the more difficult it was to decide, and even a little annoyed, he glanced at the army nobles and generals with some disgust, and next to him, a nobleman who was also an earl in charge of the country's finances was not very satisfied with the words of these generals, he lit a cigar produced by the Chinese Empire and sat there and said slowly: "Don't we still have more than 20,000 troops on the Spanish border? The total number of newly recruited troops and garrisons in various places is only more than 50,000 people, and this time a lot of ammunition and materials have been allocated to defend Lisbon, and most of the support troops have been lost. He smiled bitterly and said, "I have no money!" As for the mobilization and recruitment of 10 new regiments, I heard that the army is using the additional military funds that were not used up last year in order to purchase more ammunition? Doesn't the fact that the kingdom has mobilized the recruitment of new troops with the money saved from the production of ammunition say nothing about the current state of the country's embarrassment? Moreover, many soldiers use spears, and they are still in arrears, and now the army has to share the country's worries! As the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom, I can tell you unequivocally that our treasury is now devoid of money, nothing! It is no longer possible to increase the state taxes, and the expansion of the army in the past few years has allowed the people to come up with their last money, and the nobles have already paid a lot of money. The debts accumulated by the country are already astronomical, and this combat operation to defend Lisbon lasted for half a month, and almost all the reinforcements and defenders lost more than half, as well as a large amount of war expenses that have made it difficult for the kingdom to support! If there is a full-scale war, I am afraid that before the war, the kingdom's finances will collapse! As accountable to the King and as the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom, I think I should think more long-term for the Kingdom......"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had the title of Earl, had expressed his rejection of the Army in such a way that he ignored even the traditional techniques of Westerners in political dealings. His words made Count Louis turn to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, making these army generals, who had already been begging for help, anxious and annoyed, they looked at each other, and knew that this person's mind was on the verge of bankruptcy after the war with the American colonies of the Chinese Empire, and the huge cost of the navy, and the huge naval warships and merchant ships were destroyed by the invincible fleet of the Chinese Empire, and then there were the funds of the army, and the influence of the navy in the society has been declining. And it is precisely because of this decline that the Portuguese are becoming more and more conservative in their thinking. On the contrary, they wanted to pay more and more attention to the army in the war, but this time when dealing with the invasion of the Chinese Imperial Army, more than 50,000 troops were mobilized, and the strongest Portuguese troops were dispatched. These high-ranking army officers were not like Portuguese civilians, they had the most real situation, and the heavy losses suffered by the defenders of the capital were simply unbelievable! Several elite units ceased to exist, and the Guards Regiment suffered heavy losses, the Guards Regiment lost about half of its strength in the interior, and the rest of the team withdrew If it were not for the defense organized on the Northern Front and with the strong support of firepower, it is estimated that it would be the same as the Guards Division. In the area where the Portuguese army retreated on the northern front of Lisbon, if the infantry of the Chinese Imperial Coercion Army had not stopped the pursuit and just bombarded the position with firepower, it is estimated that the remaining more than 10,000 remnants of the army might have been completely annihilated!

The remaining more than 10,000 people barely maintained a defensive line, on the one hand, the Portuguese soldiers on the front line north of Lisbon were waiting for reinforcements, and on the other hand, the defenders of Cascais insisted on retreating, or giving them reinforcements! But now, although the army has made the decision to continue to mobilize, recruit and reorganize ten regiments, without the full support of the ministers and nobles, relying on a piece of recruitment waste paper from the king, where does the Portuguese army itself have this ability! What's even more infuriating is that the navy, which has no ships and has no ships, is still watching the army's jokes, thinking that the army's performance this time is very poor, and it has become such a miserable fight!

An army general smiled bitterly and asked, "So what exactly are the plans of the two earls now?" To the north of Lisbon, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the army holding their positions, and thousands of defenders of Cascais are desperately defending, and their fate must also be considered by the two adults! ”

Count Louis just touched his head helplessly, he suddenly felt that these army generals were very uninteresting, but it was really difficult for him to decide, let's fight, I am afraid that he will lose again, then his responsibility will be great, I am afraid that even the kingdom will be in danger at that time, and his own position may not be saved. Don't fight, he is the highest official in the Lisbon defense war, and he has an unshirkable responsibility for the loss of the national capital, which is a shame, once negotiated, he needs to be responsible for all the losses, and his reputation will stink.

Looking at the embarrassed expression of the Count of Louis, and refusing to say anything to their pleading. Several army generals also knew that it was time to leave, and they glared fiercely at the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and one of the generals also dropped a sentence: "If the two earls do not fully consider the opinions of the army and the land, as an upright soldier with a chivalrous demeanor, the correct proposition will not be adhered to and understood." This official has no choice but to resign, so please consider it carefully. "That's the threat of *** naked.

Now is the time for the appointment of personnel, and if the general resigns and the army does not provide a new general, the army may have a series of problems.

The cannon on the front line was still rumbling, but the large-scale military operations on the coercive ground had been halted from above. Although the division commanders of the front-line coercion army were full of reluctance, they did not dare to disobey the orders personally issued by Li Long in New Shanghai, in their opinion, Portugal had reached the end of the mountain, and if they surrendered early, they might be able to save more Portuguese lives. But now these remnants of the defeated army are still stubbornly relying on the limited supplies north of Lisbon that they need to eat or drink, and when the ammunition is not enough to make up a base, many Portuguese are also frightened. Cleaning them up completely isn't it like playing? The battle has reached this point, and it looks like it is about to be won, and it is really a nest to stop suddenly! But other people's orders can not be obeyed, the highest military leader of the empire ordered, the commanders of the coerced army division can only be ordered to carry out, the front-line troops have been adjusted to deploy, several heavy losses of the coercion army division first withdrew, replenish the source of troops for training and repair, outside the city of Cascais and on the northern front of Lisbon left two multi-division garrison troops, and more than 1,000 reserve troops have come over from the country to garrison Lisbon, for the coercive army, they are attacking troops, defending the imperial territory or using Han, Manchu, Mongol, It is safer for the reserve force composed of people from the Central Plains, such as the Hui and the Zhuang, to guard.

With one division at the front to maintain pressure on the remnants of the Portuguese army to the north, one division was placed outside Cascais as a means of a long siege, and began to persuade the defenders to surrender. Only the entire artillery firepower of the Coercion Army on the front line was still firing artillery fire at the remnants of the Portuguese army day and night, making their situation even more miserable, and as for Nishinomiya Shenyi and Li Dingguo's thoughts were no longer on the war.

On the Lisbon front, they issued a telegram to the new Shanghai of the Americas and the capital of the Central Plains: "I have a glorious history, and after more than ten days of hard fighting, I have won a complete victory!" The city of Lisbon has been completely occupied, and more than 50,000 main forces of the Portuguese army have been annihilated or severely dealt a blow to our subordinate army in turn! The weapons, ammunition, and military rations discarded by the defeated Portuguese army were also everywhere, and our army killed and wounded more than 39,000 Portuguese troops, captured more than 5,600 prisoners, and captured more than 100 artillery pieces and countless guns. Now the remnants of the enemy are gathered on the northern front of Lisbon, and there are still thousands of Portuguese troops in Cascais who are stubbornly resisting to defend to the death, and our imperial coercive army is still intensifying the siege, the battle has passed, and the final victory is a sure thing. Xigong Shenyi, Li Dingguo and all the officers and men of the coercion army announced.

Sun Wen, who had just returned to his residence in Lisbon after the front-line inspection, had already come to visit him, this distinguished guest was the envoy of Spain, in the attack on Portugal, the Chinese Empire coerced the army to capture a few soldiers with some special origins, they were several Spanish generals stationed in the army, and they were also regarded as spying on the Portuguese, which is also a tradition of the two countries, due to the strong intervention of the Chinese Empire and the occupation of a large number of Asian colonies by the Chinese Empire as early as ten years ago, The two major wars that should have taken place between the two countries did not take place, and Spain was now the nominal suzerainty of Portugal.

The Spanish envoy said that these Spanish soldiers did not have any unfavorable intentions against the Chinese Empire, and hoped that the Chinese Empire, which had signed a treaty of friendship, could return these prisoners as soon as possible. Both sides know that this meeting is not as simple as simply coming to receive people.

The war had just subsided, and the war had just begun at the negotiating table, and for Sun Wen, who was appointed by Li Long with full authority, it was possible that the follow-up events would be more important.

Field medics sent from Africa to Lisbon are at their busiest these days as the fighting on the front lines is over. This 2,000-bed field hospital, the largest in the world, has received countless wounded from the front line like a stream, many of these wounded are seriously wounded, especially some of the coerced officers and men who were wounded in the defense of the port of Lisbon, and after a delay of seven or eight days, many of them have seriously deteriorated and even died. The doctors and nurses in the field hospital have endless surgeries every day, and the patients who cannot be cared for are all thinking that the war has been won without certainty, but don't let these soldiers of all ethnic groups die like this after the victory comes!

However, even so, there are a large number of wounded who died because of their injuries, and many of the lucky seriously injured who can recover are disabled, but with the acceptance of the consortium behind Li Long, as long as the disabled soldiers who have no ideological problems can get a stable income, and those soldiers who have ideological problems will be shot directly at the end of the battle, and they will not be sent to field hospitals, including those of the 45th Division who are identified as problematic "cannon fodder".

The Spanish envoy wanted to meet Sun Wen again, a fully armed Portuguese army of more than 50,000 people was simply defeated by the poorly equipped coercive army of the Chinese Empire, and now only more than 10,000 remnants were left, and thousands of Portuguese soldiers in the city of Cascais were almost taken hostages and placed there waiting for the Kingdom of Portugal to negotiate an offer, for a powerful empire with such strength, the best choice was to take a step back! After all, the Chinese Empire did not want to completely destroy Portugal, and the Kingdom of Portugal had not yet reached the point of exhaustion! But it is also more difficult for them to turn around this bend in their country, and at this time they need the Spaniards to push it, because once Portugal really provokes the Chinese Empire, if it is really launched by the Chinese Empire to launch a full-scale invasion of Portugal with real strength, it is not in their current interests for Spain, which is cold-lipped!
