The second is to ask for a monthly pass!

Speaking of the artillery produced by Schneider Heavy Industries is not worse than Prussia, the M1917/28 155 howitzer, with the infantry barrel diameter to create the longest range of the 150-1897 type 75 field gun in World War I, although the range is average, but the rate of fire is beyond the reach of the Krupp artillery, although there is a theoretical deviation, but the overwhelming rate of fire is still affectionately called "Miss France" by the French soldiers.

Originally, the rise of Schneider Heavy Industries was after 1877, because at this time, a French officer named Du Turtledove invented the screw locking machine and used a compression plug. These new door technologies can better seal the tail of the gun and withstand the enormous pressure of gunpowder gas on the bottom of the chamber, which can greatly increase the range and power of the gun. After several twists and turns, this technology finally fell into the hands of Henry Schneider. Thanks to its technological innovation and strong foundation, the Schneider-Le Quiso plant soon made its mark in the artillery and arms market, becoming one of the largest arms dealers in Europe, second only to Krupp's second producer of fire.

"Why did His Excellency the President insist that Schneider become an artillery manufacturer? Schneider does not have any experience in the production of artillery fire, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to meet the requirements of His Excellency the President. ”

Henry did not understand that the Franco-Prussian War was over, and the French government should focus on the restoration of people's livelihood, but their attitude towards the French military industry was intriguing. There seems to be a potential military race between Paris and Berlin, with Napoleon not to be outdone in carrying out armament reforms.

"Because the French artillery is no longer good, and more importantly, because of the material."

Napoleon very generously admitted the defeat of France, and only by facing up to his own shortcomings could he narrow the gap with the Germans, "The backwardness of French artillery has been fully exposed in this Franco-Prussian war, and our bronze cannons can only be beaten in the face of the Prussian Krupp steel cannons." And sooner or later another war would break out between France and Prussia, which France did only to narrow the gap with Germany. ”

Napoleon sneered, "The blood feud between France and Germany will not end, and we must be prepared to fight to the death until the armies of the Second German Empire break through the gates of Paris." ”

Napoleon was in a hurry to deal with a sudden war, and it was good to be able to save Paris from falling, and when the next conflict broke out between Prussia and France, Bismarck would not be faced with a republic, but a great empire.

Those who have already been hand-picked by themselves do not quite understand that what they do will affect the fate of the whole of France. Napoleon looked at the overwhelmed Henry calmly, and said in a firm tone, "There is still a revenge waiting for us in the future, and France will rise again." ”

"Long live the Third Reich."

The humiliation of the Franco-Prussian War, Bismarck's arrogance and Napoleon had to be returned to the other side with interest.

After solving the problem of Snyder Heavy Industries, Napoleon finally had the opportunity to return to the Tuileries Palace and begin to deal with the business at hand. The reconstruction of France continued, and the government of the Third Reich still had a lot to deal with.

As soon as he returned to the office, Gambida appeared at the door, welcoming Napoleon's return.

He had been in the national gendarmerie for several days, but he still did not know what the French leader, who had never rested every day, was going to do.

Napoleon looked at Gan Bida standing in front of him and asked, "Have you done what I told you before?" ”

"Preparations have already begun, but I don't understand why His Excellency the President has to set up an independent intelligence service, and another strategic fraud bureau specifically against the Germans?"

In his opinion, the intelligence service can be set up in the army, and the so-called strategic fraud bureau is completely superfluous. France, from the government to the military, has been silent about the Germans.

Napoleon picked up the plan in his hand and handed it to Gambida, and said calmly, "It's because the German intelligence department will definitely go to great lengths to find out our secrets." So in addition to secrecy, it was more about providing them with false information and directing the Germans' General Staff to other places. The intelligence services were there to target the Germans secretly, and the Strategic Fraud Bureau was for counterintelligence warfare. Sooner or later, the Germans will know what we are doing, and in that case, it is better to deliberately give them false information. ”

The result of a wrong way of thinking is often to click on the wrong tech tree, such as the Led Zeppelin in the early days of World War I. At that time, the performance of the aircraft was poor, there was no light control in European countries, and there were no other anti-aircraft artillery, and the German military top brass believed that the Zeppelin was the ultimate weapon in air combat, but when the performance of the aircraft was further improved, the Zeppelin gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and eventually could only become a memory in the game.

"And this department must have tremendous authority, and even override the Ministry of Defense if necessary. Even the current Minister of Defense, Lou Fllow, does not have the right to ask for details. But I remembered that a person was very suitable for this position, and he was a marshal of France, and at the same time the chairman of the Supreme Military Council. ”

"General Conrobert?"

Ganbida asked hesitantly, "But he is now the leader of the Bonapartist ......"

"I know what you're trying to say, it's precisely because Field Marshal Conrobert is the leader of the Bonapartist that I have the audacity to appoint him head of the Strategic Fraud Bureau. The person who sits in this position must be loyal to the empire in addition to being capable. ”

Now that Napoleon had emphasized the problem to this point, Gambida could no longer insist on his own opinion, and could only obey the arrangement of His Excellency the President.

"The Intelligence Bureau and the Strategic Fraud Bureau must be set up as soon as possible, please ask Marshal Conrobell to come to my office, I have something to say to him separately."

It was precisely because Marshal Conrobert became the leader of the new Bonapartist that he was relieved to use the other party, the head of the Directorate General of Strategic Fraud knew almost the secrets of the French army, although Napoleon repeatedly insisted that he was not a Bonapartist, but since his nephew Louis became the head of the disciplinary committee dedicated to the Congress, the line between him and the Bonapartist began to blur.

Soon, Conrobert followed Gambida towards Napoleon's office. During this period, Marshal Conrobel privately asked Gan Bida a few words, but the answers he received were perfunctory.

Marshal Conrobert's heart swelled with uneasy emotions, the scene of the conflict between MacMahon and Napoleon was still vivid, even the marshal who had made outstanding contributions to France, he kicked the other party out of the game with a single sentence, and there was no room for negotiation.

Then he entered Napoleon's office alone, and Gan Bida stood at the door very consciously, staring at him with a complicated look.

At this time, Napoleon was standing by the window with his hands behind his back, and after Marshal Conrobert came in, he pointed to the papers on the table and said, "Read the documents in your hand first." ”

When Marshal Conrobell picked up the document, Napoleon deliberately added, "You must read it carefully, Marshal Conrobert, the conversation between the two of us this time will affect the feud between France and Germany for the next ten years." ”

Conrobert's throat rolled and carefully opened the document, which was only five pages long, but he let this long browsing last for nearly fifteen minutes, until he had read through every word, and then Marshal Conrobell slowly raised his head and asked, "Your Excellency, is this going to wage a long-term counterintelligence war against the Germans?" ”

"Yes."

Napoleon added, saying, "A long war without gunpowder." ”

"We are going to create countless illusions for the Germans, that there can be no rapprochement between France and Germany anyway, and that Bismarck's intransigence and stubborn revenge have destroyed a great alliance."

"The Great Alliance?"

Marshal Conrobell didn't quite understand what he was thinking.

"The alliance between France and Germany, and then the co-optation of Austria and the isolation of the Russian Empire in Eastern Europe, was fomenting a dispute between them and Ottoman Turkey, which was the best European Union and order. After the loss of Italy, we no longer have much to do with the Austrians, and France is going to rise, and its biggest rival is the ubiquitous British colonies, not us. ”

Faced with Napoleon's shocking but well-founded thoughts, Marshal Conrobert could only nod and said helplessly, "This kind of thinking is very realistic, but if you really do this, it is estimated that the entire French people will think that you are crazy......"

Napoleon also did not hold out hope for such an idea, after all, this was the European landscape after the Second World War.

"Yes, so Bismarck destroyed the last shred of hope for a Franco-German alliance. Sooner or later there will be a war between us and the Germans, and I am now just trying to prepare for it as well as I can, rather than throwing myself into a dispute that could kill more people without a clue. ”

"The Franco-Prussian War is only a prelude, and the revenge of France is the main theme."

Faced with Napoleon's decision, Conrobert could only nod his head. The war contest was a contest of comprehensive national strength between the two countries, while France, which was slightly inferior to Germany, could only use various tactical means to make up for the strategic gap.

"To get back to the point, the first step in the strategic fraud bureau begins with Germany's estimation of the movements of the French army. After Alsace became a neutral zone due to the intervention of other countries, Bismarck was always haunted by the fact that he did not get it. If he was not mistaken, he must have thought of using diplomatic means to pressure the French government to hand it over in recent years. ”

Marshal Conrobel whispered, "So? ”

"In that case, why don't we just count it? Bismarck was deliberately made to think that France was actively expanding its army, preparing to take revenge on Berlin in a short time. ”

"There are risks, but the situation in Europe is not up to Bismarck alone."

Napoleon sneered and said, "Several European powers are now waiting to see Germany come out of the country." Now that the Second Reich is in the limelight, some people are already beginning to be dissatisfied. We can make good use of this opportunity to thwart the Iron Prime Minister's spirit. ”
