The United States was destroyed, although it is not yet known what the Chinese Empire would do with it. However, almost everyone believes that the United States will no longer have zài. This dealt a heavy blow to the countries of the North Atlantic military alliance. Many countries are worried that they will follow in the footsteps of the United States. After all, now the Chinese Army is attacking Europe from both the east and the west, and judging by the battles that broke out in the north of the Iberian Peninsula in the first place, the North Atlantic Military Alliance is obviously not an opponent of the Chinese Empire!

Over time, the Northern Iberian Peninsula's campaign ended, in which the Anglo-French forces lost more than two million troops. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to France. Although, the army of France itself, plus the old, weak, sick and disabled who have come out of the new barracks one after another and the 400,000 British troops who remained in France, the army that France can control is more than 3.2 million.

However, can these 3.2 million troops really withstand the siege of the Eurasian military alliance headed by the Chinese Empire? Three and two million troops, it seems like a lot. However, in order to guard against the counterattack of the Sino-Belgian coalition forces in Belgium, France would have to deploy more than 600,000 troops or more in Belgium. In addition, in order to defend against the Kingdom of Prussia, France had to deploy more than 400,000 men on the Ardennes front. France is also a country with a vast coastline, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. In the case of sea supremacy already in the hands of the Chinese Navy. In order to prevent an attack by the Chinese* army by sea, France was on the Atlantic coast and the Mediterranean coast. You have to deploy a large number of troops. According to preliminary calculations, the number of troops deployed in the coastal zone alone exceeds one million.

This is how it all comes together. How many mobile forces do the French still have? What's more, because of the successive defeats in the war, many French people were dissatisfied with the government of Napoleon III. Some cities have even erupted in actions such as strikes against the government. Therefore, the French government had to ask for the garrison of the army. This made the French army even more overstretched.

"Your Majesty, the losses in the battle of the Iberian Peninsula have already been counted. Our army losses, more than two million people. The army that managed to escape back to China was less than 200,000 people! French War Minister A.J. Saint-Arnault said with a look of frustration. The loss of two million people at one time was undoubtedly a fiasco for France. Even France is strong. But under such a loss, it has already broken its muscles and bones. If there were a few more such wars, I am afraid that the whole of France would collapse.

Napoleon III was pale, without the slightest trace of blood, as if he had been seriously ill. The current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for France, so that the ambitious emperor is now almost unsustainable. Napoleon III, who set his goal to surpass his uncle Napoleon the Great, now knows that his efforts. It's just a flash in the pan.

If Napoleon III regretted the most, it was probably because of the North American War and parting ways with the Chinese Empire. Originally, I thought that after uniting with the British, I could at least compete with the Chinese Empire. But now I know. The gap between the two sides is simply too great. The entire North Atlantic military alliance united, which had been fighting for less than a year, suffered a crushing defeat. A complete failure. It seems to be in front of you!

"Will the Chinese cross the Pyrenees and continue to attack the undertaken? Our army. Can you resist them? Home Secretary C.A.L. Morney asked. The current situation in the country is also a mess, full of people who oppose the government. If it weren't for the army's bullet pressure, maybe it would have been even more chaotic now. If the Chinese* army crossed the Pyrenees and invaded France, the consequences would be unimaginable. I'm afraid that without the Chinese* army coming to Paris, the rebellious French would have overthrown Napoleon III. Therefore, during this period of time, Morni can be described as a great enemy. The police departments throughout France have long been very vigilant, and if they find someone making trouble, they will immediately crack down. If even the police can't suppress it, they will ask the army to dispatch as soon as possible.

However, this also made the whole of France very popular. France's economy has been hit hard by this.

France is slightly better than Britain in that France is rich in resources, whether it is industrial resources or agricultural resources, it is self-sufficient. Although the cut off from overseas trade has made the French economy very bad, there will be no famine or anything like that in the short term. Of course, the offensive of the Chinese* army is undoubtedly an imminent threat to France.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese are now resting, and they do not seem to be showing signs of attacking. What is certain, however, is that the Chinese will not give up. The Chinese stationed in the Iberian Peninsula numbered in the millions. If they attack, it's going to be a big problem for us. Of course, the Pyrenees stopped the Chinese from advancing. The army planned to build a defensive line along the Pyrenees to stop the Chinese offensive north. However, the advantage of the Chinese is too great, and the Pyrenees may not be able to withstand them! A.J. Saint-Arnault had a sad face. After all, the Chinese Empire could attack not only from land, but also from the sea, and it was very difficult for France to completely block the attack of the Chinese* army. Once the Chinese* army decides to launch a landing operation, the long coastline will be full of holes. The Chinese * army, under the cover of the Navy, can land at any time.

Just like the Chinese * army did in the United States, landing directly not far from the US capital, Washington. Similarly, in France, Chinese* troops could land directly in Le Havre and other places, and then go straight to Paris. When the time comes, France will have to do everything possible to intercept the Chinese* army.

"The Pyrenees defense line, which can be built. In this way, we can use a small army to stop the Chinese. Napoleon III nodded. Relying on the Pyrenees to hold back the Chinese* army would be advantageous to France, at least, would save the strength of the French army. However, it is impossible to rely solely on the Pyrenees to stop the offensive of the Chinese* army.

Now, the reason why the Chinese* army is not in a hurry to attack north of the Pyrenees is simply because they are resting in the shadows. After all, after a large-scale campaign, the losses of the Chinese * army were not small. More importantly, the consumption of all kinds of war materials is also very fast. If you want to continue the large-scale attack, you will have to wait until the reserves arrive.

After all, the Chinese* army is fighting in Europe, but the weapons and ammunition needed need to be transported from the country. Spain's industrial strength was weak, and it was damaged a lot during the war, and it could not afford to consume more than two million troops.

Fortunately, at the end of the North American War, part of the Chinese Navy's transportation capacity can be saved and put into the European theater, so that it can support the Chinese* army to continue to launch attacks in Europe.

"Your Excellency Duke Valewski, our ally, is there any good news?" Napoleon III asked. The news from the front was full of bad news, which made him very depressed.

"Your Majesty, our allies are also too busy to take care of themselves. Famine is likely to break out in Britain, and the British are now growing wheat in large quantities in the hope that it will be replenished before the domestic food is exhausted. And the Austro-Hungarian Empire, under the joint blows of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, also suffered considerable losses. Austria-Hungary devoted all its military forces to the defense of Vienna. However, the Prussians committed at least more than 1.5 million troops to storm Vienna, and Austria-Hungary did not estimate that it would last long. In the Balkans, Austria-Hungary was also unable to compete with the Ottoman Empire, which took advantage of a large advantage.

As for Russia, it is even more miserable. The Chinese and the Ottoman Empire invested nearly three million troops to fight against Russia. Among them, the elite Chinese army has more than 1.75 million troops. The Russians probably won't be able to hold it at all. ”

Duke Valevsky is also clearly not optimistic about several other allies of the North Atlantic Military Alliance. They are already too busy to take care of themselves, where is the extra strength to support France?

"What about the Kingdom of Italy? Damn the Italians, they simply did not fulfill their obligations as allies! "Napoleon III was somewhat furious.

In his opinion, the Kingdom of Italy was simply helpless. They betrayed the Asian-European military alliance and took refuge in the North Atlantic military alliance. However, they are now refusing to fulfill their obligations. The Kingdom of Italy's nearly two million troops were all cowered in the country to prevent the Chinese army from landing in Italy. Both France and Austria-Hungary requested support from the Kingdom of Italy. However, Vittorio. King Emanuele II refused.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Italy has rejected our request. They claim that the Chinese have their eye on the Kingdom of Italy. If they had drawn troops, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Italy would have perished by the Chinese! Duke Valewski said.

"Damn!" Napoleon III couldn't help but curse.

With the end of the Iberian Peninsula's campaign, France suffered heavy losses. In order to prevent the Chinese and Spanish forces from crossing the Pyrenees and attacking the French mainland. The French Army planned to rely on the Pyrenees and deploy 600,000 men to build a strong defense. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
