At the same time, the British army was setting foot on French soil, and the last time a war broke out was more than half a century ago, when the mighty Franco-Prussian Union defeated the mighty France, and now they are about to defeat Napoleon again.

The dead should lie in the coffin and should not come out again to make waves.

The French command was shocked by the way the British attacked and attacked the landing, and they had no idea that the Strait of Calais, where the fighting was fierce, was just a front, and the real landing site was the middle of the west coast of France.

All the generals did not expect that they would be tricked by the British, all in preparation for this landing, and unfortunately, the French command did not deploy any troops on the peninsula, only one or two divisions to protect the flanks of the Seine and Saint-Malo. As a result, the troops protecting the flanks encountered the main force of the British army, and were defeated and retreated.

I have to say that this is the first time such an ironic situation has appeared.

"Let the Orleans Corps urgently reinforce three infantry divisions in the Cherbourg area, and the British army must not be allowed to cross Saint-Lô, otherwise the whole peninsula will fall into the hands of the British, and the ships that dock us in the Gulf of Seine and Saint-Malo will be threatened. The success or failure of a battle is here, hurry up! ”

The problem that made Napoleon even more difficult was now beginning, because the British had chosen the central part of France, and they could not allow the German legions to cross most of the territory and penetrate inland, which would definitely give up the northern part of France to Germany.

The French troops deployed on the Belgian border were even more immobile at this time, the British were still storming the coastline of Calais, and the Germans were also eagerly preparing to join the war, which was equivalent to nearly seven or eight divisions trapped in the northern front area, unable to participate in the southern front. Therefore, Napoleon could only rely on the Orleans Legion, which was formed after the end of the Franco-Prussian War, to resist the invasion of the enemy.

"Bismarck, is this your counterattack? I've been designing the game for so long, and you want to come and stab you in the back as a reward for me framing you? ”

Napoleon frowned, staring at the map without saying a word, trying to figure out a solution to the dilemma.

"France is not just an ally, but a factor of instability in the heart of France. We cannot leave the Germans alone, nor can we let the British get their way. ”

Napoleon turned to Leboeuf behind him, and said, "Pass the order to the English invaders to be wiped out around the border, and at any cost, we must not allow them to penetrate deep into the interior of France." If the British army penetrates deep into the interior of France, then the next battle plan is carried out. The Rhine Corps, deployed in northern France, remained in place. The invaders were left to Maz and the Orleans Corps to deal with. Their task was to deal with the Germans, who could go south at any moment. If the other party comes down to snatch the fruits of victory, it will be even more tricky. ”

"Bismarck has presented us with a problem, and now I hope that you will be able to solve it with all your spirits, otherwise you will have to watch the British and German armies invade France in two ways. And whether the Russians are reliable or not, I don't know yet. But in the end, it's up to us to defeat the invaders. There is no other way. ”

Everyone fell silent, and the situation now happened to test the ability of each French general, who could face the more difficult problems they had before the Franco-Prussian War.

"Assuming the Germans don't attack, then we have only one invader, Great Britain. To deal with the British, it is only necessary to block them all at the border, on the sea, maybe France is no match for the British, but on the continent we have never been afraid. ”

"Assuming that Germany intervenes after the victory of France over Great Britain, then we need a security measure that will prevent Germany from expanding the war. Russia. On the Balkan Peninsula, France is ready to cooperate with Russia. The Anbalkan issue turned into a war conflict, and the Germans would have been on the side of Austria-Hungary anyway, and we, of course, would have to stand firmly on the side of Russia. Eventually, Russia will also declare war on France, which will greatly ease the pressure on us in the face of the German army. I hope so. ”

In fact, it is unclear whether Russia will be able to relieve the pressure on the German border, because Napoleon has the impression that in May 1915 Tsarist Russia officially launched a full-scale cooperation with Germany and Austria-Hungary. At the beginning of the war, the morale of the Russian army was very high, and it won several small victories, but later it was beaten all over the ground by the powerful German army, and most of its troops were lost in a short period of time. It's okay to let Tsar Alexander III abuse the dishes, and really have to meet an opponent like Germany, unless the leader is Stalin, and there are political commissars with guns to lead the charge.

"All this factor is taken into account, what if the Germans do not attack? Frederick III's willingness to abide by the agreement would have been more cost-effective than a risky attack. After all, they can get a large colony without much effort, and if they fight the French, they may end up with nothing. ”

"That's for the best, no one wants to see a war break out."

Napoleon gave him a blank look, which should have been the way he had planned it, but Frederick did not know who he had to believe before he was ready to betray his allies.

He continued, "If it weren't for Bismarck's stir-belliger, Germany would have been in the trap by now." We can only hope that the threat threatened by Russia will suppress Germany, otherwise we may have to fight another Franco-Prussian war next. The defeated this time will be completely deprived of their political status. ”

In order to deal with this war, Napoleon kept the French troops abroad many months ago, learned the lessons of the defeat of the last Franco-Prussian war, and now the French have made full preparations in advance.

For this war, Napoleon prepared for nearly fifteen years, spent almost 6,000 days and nights, strengthened France brick by brick, perfected military strength, and finally gave birth to an imperial legion commanded by Napoleon himself.

After waiting too long, the blood that had long since subsided began to boil again.

This time, they definitely won't be losers again.

Napoleon smiled and said, "This battle is much more exciting than the Franco-Prussian War." ”
