The third more

Second only to Bazin's inferior horse.

This sentence made the hearts of the others present tremble. He was the first person in the whole of France to dare to say this about the imperial generals, and even Napoleon III, after the defeat of the generals, had to take into account the emotions of the generals and did not dare to say such a sharp and piercing humiliation.

The implication of this sentence is that the difference between you and the surrendering generals is only that your emperor surrendered before you.

But the "father of the Third Reich" in front of him had no taboos, because he had long endured the domination of France by a group of incompetent politicians and mediocre generals, and as a marshal of a country, after being besieged by the enemy, he did not show his loyalty to France, but tried to lead his troops to surrender, which was the situation he could not tolerate the most.

French generals could die for their country, but they could never surrender to feuding Germany.

It was clear that McMahon had not recovered from the blow, like a puppet deprived of his soul, but Napoleon did not stop scolding and launched an overwhelming offensive.

"I think Lancey really has no successor, and even mediocre talents are in high positions. Perhaps my nephew was an incompetent emperor in the first place, and that is why a group of horses like General McMahon were gathered among the top echelons of the French army. It is you who have brought shame to the whole of France. It is also because of you France that you France have been pulled into the abyss, which has led to the current situation. At the same time, I am very grateful to all of you who held out to the last in the Metz fortress, because you kept the Prussian Second Army in check, and the army of Prince Frederick Carr, who was said to be the most elite of the Prussian army, did not engage in the siege of Paris, so that we could win at the last moment. ”

Napoleon's desire to exalt himself made the other generals present realize that the meeting was aimed at one goal, Mike Mahon. Knowing the rumors they had heard earlier, the new Parisian leader hated the royalists.

Napoleon stood in front of McMahon and said word by word, "Thank you very much, and mediocrity like you, for not ruining France." I think it's a miracle that the Second Empire has been able to spend so many years in your hands. ”

The others did not even dare to speak out, and the former chief of the General Staff, Leboeuf, wanted to open his mouth to defend his colleagues, but was forced back by Napoleon's gaze.

Just as he was about to continue, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and Trochu walked in briskly. With a displeased expression, he walked straight to Napoleon's side and stopped between the two men.

"Your Majesty Napoleon, let it be enough."

"Now is not the time to argue about right and wrong, the most important thing in the French army is reform, and if there is a disagreement at this time, it will be difficult to continue to carry out the reform project in the army." ”

Looking at the other party's pleading eyes, Napoleon coughed a few times and said slowly, "Yes, today here was originally to carry out the armament reform of the French army. But before the reform of armaments, I have one or two more points to announce. ”

He pointed his finger at McMahon and said slowly, "Starting today, Marshal McMahon has retired early. ”

The audience was in an uproar, and of course they knew very well that each other was playing for real.

The forcibly overestimated McMahon should be thankful that he ended much better than Tukhachevsky, at least Stalin's punishment for incompetent and mediocre generals was a purge.

"Please get out of the conference room, the rest is none of your business."

McMahon handed his saber to Napoleon, and replied in a cold tone, "Please take it away with Your Majesty Napoleon, I don't need it anymore." ”

After saying that, McMahon did not hesitate, turned around and went out, and hung his colleagues in the conference room.

Trosch glanced at Napoleon helplessly, and said, "This is the reform that His Majesty Napoleon is going to make?" ”

"The first step in reform is to weed out the incompetent waste, and France does not need a commander-in-chief who is good for nothing."

Napoleon said unceremoniously, "Now comes the main thing." ”

As a favorite of Napoleon III, the other party did not take his identity seriously at all, and kicked him out of the game outright, which also made others feel that the new leader did not like to talk nonsense with them.

People who like to talk nonsense with Napoleon are now out of the game.

"First of all, France is about to reform the military service system, bringing it into line with Prussia's universal compulsory military service system. As you have seen, Germany has done a very good job in this regard, France can only urgently mobilize a standing army of 200,000, but Germany can mobilize a million military forces in a month! This is the gap between France and Germany. ”

Everyone else was well aware of this, and nodded involuntarily.

The second is the innovation of the system, the German commander Moltke and the Minister of War created the army staff system, which can quickly formulate battle plans according to the battle situation on the front line and quickly issue them to various army groups. On the other hand, our performance in the Franco-Prussian War, the inability to obtain timely contact, the poor command coordination, the delay in intelligence, and the lack of a sense of the overall situation, the loss to Prussia was simply expected. From now on, we are also going to have a staff in the army, which will be responsible for commanding and coordinating the French army. The chief of staff will be General Leboeuf, and France has also formally established a political commissar system to be responsible for the ideological work of the French soldiers in peacetime, and I will be responsible for the post of director of the political department of the army. ”

Commissar is a new term, and General Conrobert had heard from Stowell that Paris had set up a system similar to that of the Overseers in order to stop the constant rout of the defensive line. However, it was not just the brutal erection of the Gatling gun behind the charging soldiers, but the continuous strengthening of the ideological education of the soldiers, so that they could become soldiers loyal to the Third Reich.

"The last point is the innovation of French weapons, the bronze cannon is obviously not as powerful as the steel cannon of the French Krupp. In this regard, the French government will carry out a series of cooperation with Schneider military industry to correct the mistakes of the French army in the development of artillery. And the advantages of our Chasebo rifle will continue to be played. ”

In fact, Napoleon already had a certain number in his heart, including a series of Western artillery, including the 75 Field Miss, will be accelerated in the next few years, and the French army began to step up copper cartridge shells to replace paper cartridge shells, and has completed the upgrading of small arms. Including Type B smokeless gunpowder to replace the black powder now in use, prompting the birth of the Maxim machine gun. Even if the French army is now inferior in numbers, it will be superior in terms of advanced weapons.

The French spared no effort to carry out armament renewal, and there was another purpose.

It was to muddy the waters of Germany and his two allies in 1873!
