The 80,000 French International Volunteers were not in place at one time, in fact, only the First Division of the French International Volunteers led by Napoleon and the Second Volunteer Division led by Ye Zhishi, a colonel of the Tang Army, were mobilized in the early days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBecause Senior Colonel Ye Zhishi and a group of Datang officers have just arrived at the temporary formation of the Second Division, although it has been opened, it is actually still in a state of running-in, and only the Volunteer First Division in the hands of Napoleon has combat effectiveness.

Napoleon's direct trip to Poland did not happen, and he led his army to Munich to join the German 4th Infantry Division, the 12th Infantry Division, and the 17th Infantry Division, according to the instructions of Lieutenant General Yue Zhenfu, who succeeded Zhang Min as commander-in-chief of the Tang Army in Europe.

As a relatively old-school traditional general, Yue Zhenfu was more adept at using the traditional art of Chinese military affairs, and he ordered Napoleon and the German Southern Front to come to Bavaria, with the purpose of directly taking Austrian territory and threatening the Austrian capital Vienna, so as to achieve the strategic goal of containing the Austrian army.

From Munich to Vienna, the Danube Plain was flat, suitable for large marches, and after Austria gathered 100,000 troops and marched to Poland, the defenses were relatively empty. However, Yue Zhenfu judged that the Austrians would definitely send troops from northern Italy to defend here, and the intensity of the battle would not be low.

Yue Zhenfu did not simply hope that the allies would win along the way, as long as he put a certain amount of pressure on the Austrians, he would have achieved all his goals.

In order to fight the largest war in Europe in more than 20 years, Datang has also made multiple preparations. On the part of the regular Tang Army, the 3rd Army Division of the Southeastern Military District had been urgently mobilized and began to board the transport fleet in New Austria, and the destination was Danzig, which was already in the hands of the Germans. It will take at least a month for the Don Army to arrive, and at the same time several weeks to adapt, and the Germans will have to be vigilant during this time.

Of course, at this time, the three countries did not know that Datang would draw elite regular Tang troops from the mainland to fight, in fact, the three countries of Russia, Prussia and Austria all believed that Datang would not be too involved in the war. Their reasoning was that the Tang were very hesitant to declare their entry into the war, and they did not act until long after the war began, and the scale was not large. After defeating the British, they only entrenched themselves in the Netherlands, but did not further support Germany, so the Russian-Austrian countries believed that the Tang Dynasty was not willing to go to war. In addition, after all, Datang is in the Americas, and the core area is still on the west coast of North America, and the long-distance deployment of large-scale troops is considered very unrealistic by the three countries of Russia, Prussia and Austria. Therefore, they took a reassuring pill and wanted to win the battle.

The goal of the Russian-Austrian alliance is very clear, defeat the German army, keep Prussia, and completely swallow Poland, as long as Prussia does not die, and Poland is digested by the Russian-Austrian three, then the three countries can still form a balance of power or advantage in the face of the strong Tang-German alliance.

To some extent, the three countries were right. Bai Nan really didn't want to fight this war, in his original concept, the first anti-French alliance war was best if the Tang Dynasty did not do it, and Germany did not do it, and France itself held on to defeat Austria and Britain, and it was almost over. Germany was able to industrialize with peace of mind, and the Tang Dynasty was able to develop its own native colonization with peace of mind. France pressed a little, but it wouldn't be a big deal.

However, Marens launched the "War of Unification" against Prussia on his own initiative, and there was a certain conflict with France in the middle, and the Tang Dynasty had to intervene in this war. However, after Britain was defeated, Datang had stopped its march and was ready to enjoy the victory package of the Netherlands and Belgium. However, Germany was determined to destroy Prussia, and finally ran into the three coalition forces of Russia, Prussia and Austria.

In hindsight, if the armistice between Germany and Prussia had been at that time, there would not have been so many things to follow. But at that time, the Tang people were generally optimistic about the process of German reunification, and in fact, Bai Nan also knew that even if Germany did not destroy Prussia, Russia and Austria would still beat Germany again. Not to mention, Datang is still pushing for Polish independence.

Therefore, this tangled war is what Bai Nan has to participate in. However, Bai Nan can also proudly say that because we are the only hegemon on this planet, and the war that Opode needs to fight with all the strength of the whole country, we can just stretch our fingers.

In fact, Bai Nan did this, and the Tang Army in the battle sequence was the Third Division of the Tang Army, the Second Regiment of the Marine Corps, the European Brigade of the Tang Special Corps and the Gurkha Brigade, with a total strength of about 27,000 people, and if you count the combat strength of the Navy, it is about 30,000 people. The figure of 30,000 is relatively large, but it is slightly more than the total number of mobilized troops of Datang, that is, one-twentieth.

As a hegemonic country, Datang certainly has the ability to mobilize non-national troops, although it is inevitable to contribute money and efforts, but it is also cost-saving without having to transport its own troops from the Americas or Asia to Europe. First of all, it is natural to mention that Bai Nan creatively turned the "undesirable" people in France into an international volunteer army, with as many as 80,000 troops, although the combat effectiveness is very unguaranteed, but it can be thrown on the battlefield for training.

The first unit pulled up by the Tang Army was the Dutch-Belgian coalition army, many of whom were still fighting with the Tang Army before, and the strength was not much, the Dutch side was a division, and Belgium added a regiment to it, about 15,000 troops.

Needless to say, the Germans were the real protagonists in this war. The Germans had already mobilized 200,000 troops on the Eastern and Southern Fronts. When the Russian-Austrian Triple Alliance was formed, Marenes mobilized again and put the reserve forces into it, but at this time, Germany lacked weapons and equipment and necessary war materials, and the Tang Dynasty had to invest. In fact, it was the 120,000-strong army in the hands of Blucher that could really fight on the Eastern Front, and Marnes invested another 50,000 men later, so the real strength of the German army on this front was 170,000.

On the Polish side, through various efforts, the Tang Dynasty finally made most of the army of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania brick Kościuszko's Polish People's Revolutionary Army, and even His Royal Highness the Prince, who was previously Kościuszko's boss, resolutely handed over his troops to Kościuszko, because the traitor king Poniatowski would sooner or later defeat the Polish army that resisted the invasion.

The Germans allocated the Prussian army and some other inferior weapons to the Polish People's Revolutionary Army, and the strength of the Polish People's Revolutionary Army was raised to 50,000 men.

At least in terms of troops, the allied forces led by the Tang Dynasty are basically the same as the Russian-Austrian Triple Alliance. (To be continued.) )
