Chapter 174: The Alektu Project

The second more

Just when everyone thought that France had been scared into a second-rate weak chicken by the previous war, a secret meeting was going on inside the Tuileries Palace, and the content of this meeting would determine the next change in the situation in Europe.

An urgent secret meeting was being held in the General Staff of the French High Command, in which almost all the marshals who had participated in the Franco-Prussian War were joined, and the contents of the meeting were classified by Napoleon as top secret.

The secret chamber of the Tuileries Palace was full of people, and Trochu looked to the left and right to find that all the marshals of the French General Staff, all of whom had lost to Prussia in the Franco-Prussian War five years earlier, had arrived.

Napoleon had in his hand a plan called Alektu, and Levlo whispered.

"Nemesis Project?"

Trochu was stunned for a moment, Alektu was a god in Greek mythology, symbolizing revenge.

Then the goal of this battle plan is very clear, and Germany is the only one.

He didn't expect that Napoleon had never consulted with him about a play. It seems that the president has carried out a lot of preparations behind his back.

"I'm sorry to have you here for this meeting, it's urgent. I will not dwell on it, but I have asked you to participate in this meeting today because there is a war that may be a matter of life and death for France. Let's take a look at this information first! ”

Napoleon put the documents in duplicate in front of all the generals, explaining, "The French front-line troops are now fully equipped with the new Chasebo modified rifles, and equipped with the new Maxim machine guns, and the 75 mm field guns with a rate of fire have been installed, and we are going to start a battle to defend the Alsace border." It was very surprising that many people thought that war was impossible, but in fact Germany was already quietly preparing. ”

Napoleon methodically enumerated the preparations of the past five years, although they did not form a full-scale crushing situation, but they had achieved a partial advantage, anyway, they controlled the Alsace region, as long as they fought a good battle to defend the border and block the invasion of the German army.

He even had some expectations, because this war, with barbed wire and trenches, was a typical World War I model. A large number of defensive fronts were also deployed on the Alsatian border, and the rudiments of a "Maginot Line" were taking shape.

Trochu asked rhetorically, "What if the war really hadn't broken out?" ”

"Isn't it the best option if the war doesn't break out?"

Napoleon said, "None of us wants to see a war break out, it's just to prepare for the worst, and no one knows if it will actually happen." What if Russia stormed Constantinople and directly dismembered Ottoman Turkey? This is a domino effect, which will trigger a new power reshuffle in the Balkans. ”

"It can't be!"

Trochu exclaimed, "The British will not sit idly by!" ”

"Yes, Britain will certainly not sit idly by, how can it be that Russia directly dismembered Ottoman Turkey, and it is also not in our interests. Let's not forget that the Mediterranean coast is our colony, and if Russia is given access to the Turkish Straits to the sea, Peter the Great's will will will be half fulfilled! ”

Lou Flo spoke his mind. In fact, no one wants Russia to gain access to the sea.

"Will Russia get out of the Turkish Straits? The question had to be left to the British, but the Ottoman dissolution was not necessarily linked to Russia's direct access to the Turkish Straits of Turkey. Our aim is to provoke unrest in the Balkans, and the more chaotic the situation in Europe, the greater our chances. ”

Napoleon did not have the patience to wait another thirty or forty years to crush the Second German Empire, and he took advantage of the chaos in Europe to induce Bismarck to make a fatal mistake. Even if he can't be defeated, at least let him form a situation of parity with Germany in the future.

"All of you here, the next period of time is directly related to the life and death of France. I hope that everyone here is aware of the situation we are facing. It is very likely that Bismarck will take advantage of the fact that Britain is busy dealing with Russia and move south. All the weakness and compromise we have shown before are a foreshadowing of a possible war. ”

"This one is the Alektu plan, and although we think that a full-scale war by Bismarck is no longer likely, at least France is now ready for everything, and the war really extends to the scale of a national invasion. Project Alektu will be launched, and now our regular army is expanding in a covert form, including the Special Police Operations Group and the Special Reserve Group, which are regular army units under different names, with the aim of allowing the German intelligence services to obtain false intelligence information and confuse the enemy. ”

"In the event of war, Alsace and Lorraine are likely to be the first battlefields, after all, Germany had been ready to extend its territory here four years earlier. Therefore, in order to achieve their goal, they are likely to support their ally Russia to try to muddy the waters in the Balkans, so that the British will focus on their own interests and have no time to take care of the border friction between France and Germany. When Russia swallowed Turkey in one gulp, and Austria-Hungary expanded its political sphere, the true ties of the Three Emperors Alliance were established. Then with the support of Russia, Germany will carry the war to the end even more unscrupulously. ”

Napoleon crossed the name of England, looked around at the silent crowd, and said solemnly, "So the actions of the British can only be icing on the cake, and it is our own army that can really help in the snow." In the past five years, the French ** team has carried out drastic reforms, what is the purpose? ”

"Only revenge!"

French intelligence had also received information that Germany was secretly improving unstable nitrocellulose in an attempt to make smokeless gunpowder in another way. This was bad news for Napoleon, and once Berlin was developed and popularized on a large scale, their only remaining military advantage would be lost.

Therefore, before Germany is truly equipped with smokeless flames, they are ready to use the epoch-making technology in their hands to teach the Germans a hard lesson and save the political decline.

"Revenge, revenge ......"

Leflo muttered in fragments, and although he was now mainly in charge of intelligence, he still had close ties to the military. The series of plans carried out by Napoleon before also became reasonable at this time, and all the schemes were strung together for today!

He gasped, could it be that Napoleon had realized the current situation when he negotiated with the Schneider family four years ago.

Cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and he subconsciously took out his handkerchief and wiped his wet forehead.

Leflo quickly denied his thoughts and comforted himself, "Maybe it's just an illusion......

Napoleon had been waiting for this moment for a long time, it was a very skillful scheme, and any wrong move would result in a total loss. If the Ottomans did not disintegrate as they wished, if Austria-Hungary did not get Serbia, these would have affected Bismarck's decision to wage a war of aggression.

Therefore, Napoleon did not hesitate to get Gochakov to recognize Berlin's sovereignty over the Alsace region, and also showed that he did not dare to resist, just to increase the expansion of Bismarck's vanity.

Russia got Constantinople, Austria-Hungary got Serbia, and Germany had to get territory to make up for the imbalance between them.

France did nothing, but Napoleon let others complete all the steps of the plan.

Now Paris lacks a war to upset the balance of Europe.

It's time to put an end to this turmoil caused by the underlying factors of the economic crisis.
