Chapter 183: War Mobilization!
The first update
No one in France would have imagined that Napoleon, as the great president, would personally go to the front line to supervise the war.
The last one to do so was his nephew, who was reduced to a prisoner after the war.
The weak president, who had been criticized by the French military top brass and despised by the people, finally responded to Europe.
For the first time, the leaders, who had been bullied by both Germans and Russians in Paris and did not dare to protest, actually stood up. This is big news, enough to be worth writing about in a big newspaper or a tabloid.
Napoleon not only strengthened his determination to resist the German invaders, but also pushed their battle line back, and even went to the front line to supervise the battle himself, so that the people of the whole country could see Napoleon's determination to resist the war.
The train was moving forward and soon reached the north of France, where the war was still being held, and according to the front, it was said that the areas where the Germans had walked were very likely
The Alsace region has been transformed from a rich commercial and industrial region into a battlefield of artillery fire. Germany could not attack the French defense line for a long time, although the French army was slightly inferior in numbers, but the initiative on the battlefield has always been firmly occupied on Napoleon's side, and it has never been able to surpass a single step.
After Napoleon got off the train, he didn't even get into the carriage, and rode directly to the front line of Alsace as fast as he could, and the soldiers marching to the front line looked at him in amazement, this man known as the myth of war, stood in front of them for the first time.
There are so many mysteries about him, and a thousand people can hear a thousand different Napoleonic Presidents.
"Your Excellency President Napoleon, you don't have to go to the front to supervise the army yourself, it's too dangerous."
From time to time, artillery fire exploded in the plains not far away, stirring up a burst of mud and dust.
Under the pressure of war, Trochu had to hunch forward to protect the president around him.
At the same time, teams of recruits passed by them. Cast a curious glance at Napoleon.
The fact that a country's leader appears on the front line in such a low-key manner is in itself a piece of news that can cause a sensation in the country.
Napoleon said, "I've been waiting for this war for five years, do you know what it's like to wait for five years?" I endured the disdain and suspicion of everyone in the military department, and I suppressed the revanchist sentiment in France, just so that I could slap Bismarck hard today! ”
Another cannonball exploded directly on the hill not far away, and Trochu subconsciously bent down, while Napoleon strode forward.
"Enough, Your Majesty. This is already the logistics and recuperation department closest to the front line, and five or six kilometers further is the trench on the front line, and we can't let His Excellency the President go directly to the trench, it's too dangerous. In case of any accidents, France will ......"
Napoleon stopped, and he looked into the distance in silence.
Trochu did not dare to disobey him, so he stood quietly, he could never see through Napoleon's true thoughts, the man who saved France may be carrying out a secret plan, and it was not until many years later that they could see one of his scaly claws from Ni Duan.
"He's just an unpredictable person."
Trochu muttered to himself, "I really don't know if he is the savior of France or the president who leads the rise of a new empire." ”
Napoleon stopped, and he looked at the restless recruits, many of whom had a look of fear on their faces, and they did not even know how terrible the battle was at the front.
"I am Napoleon."
"The French president you know. Of course, many people will have doubts about my identity, but our goal is the same, which is to drive out the Germans who invaded our land! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of applause among the recruits, and everyone looked at him wistfully, expecting more exciting announcements.
He turned to the soldier and said word for word, "It's a pleasure to see you here now, if only later we could drive the German invaders out." We have endured their provocations for almost seven years! Every time the other side tried to start another war of aggression, they thought that Paris would surrender and give in, but this time I would tell Bismarck that the French would definitely not take a step back! Any issue can be discussed, but when it comes to national sovereignty, he can't even think about it! ”
Thunderous applause erupted in the crowd, and everyone looked at Napoleon with great energy, as if France had any hope of victory as long as he was there.
"It was not that we did not want revenge, but we were waiting for an opportunity, after the turmoil of the Second Empire, the strength of Paris was not as strong as before, the rapid rise of the Germans, and the unprecedented sense of crisis in France. You feel it, and so does the Tuileries. ”
Napoleon picked up a new Chasepo rifle beside him, and he said to the others, "See? The new Chasebo rifle, with copper-shelled bullets and a new type of gunpowder, was designed specifically for war. Compared to their old rifles, there is even an additional magazine structure, which can be loaded with eight bullets in one go. Launch directly, this is the simplest and most brutal design! ”
He pulled the bolt of the gun, and the bullet arced through the air and landed on the ground.
After speaking, he pointed to the 75mm field gun again, and said proudly, "This is a 75mm field gun produced by Schneider, his rate of fire and power are enough to win the current Schneider, and the Maxim machine gun, with a gas conduction structure is enough to crush those old hand-cranked machine guns." You say that the government has been weak for so many years and has borne so much infamy, for what, in order to wait until today, to slap back hard! ”
Napoleon's words were shocking.
"France has never been a weak nation, our land has not been generously given to us by others, but through more than a thousand years of conquest and expansion, France has never been a weak nation, the Islamists came, they only left corpses in Europe, the foreign enemies of the Holy Roman Empire invaded, and now? That empire has long since dissolved. And now, they are trying to get revenge and restore the glory of the past. ”
"Yet the glory of France never ends! The empire doesn't need to rise, he just waits for the right time, the king returns! ”
All were stimulated by Napoleon's inspiring words, and they all stood up and paid tribute to the great President of the Third Reich!
Trochu was surprised to find that Napoleon's words swept away the gloom on the faces of the others.
Of course, he didn't know that Napoleon's eloquence was learned from a guy named Hitler in his previous life, but he didn't know if he could meet this person in the future on this timeline.
"Presumably everyone has had enough of the arrogance of the Germans, and now the time has finally come!"
Napoleon, waving his fists, climbed to the commanding heights amid the explosion of artillery fire, on which he stood, countless clouds of mud and dust splashed up behind him, obscuring the sky and the sun. But it could not change his firm determination to fight back against the Germans!
Each one lifted their heads and looked at the greatest God in their hearts.
War giants taller than the Alps.
"Let them see the greatness of France!"
