Chapter 321: Think about it and talk about it

Previous Chapter

Since the code word can no longer guarantee life, the author decided not to work full-time, and recently received an interview notice from Hainan Airlines, and may not be able to guarantee the recent update, so I would like to say sorry to everyone.

Break the siege?

Apparently General Sheridd was overthinking, and Napoleon, who was an artilleryman, did not even think of sparing these people, when the British army tore through the fragile line of defense and prepared to go deeper. The French Schneider's artillery was already ready to give them a gift. The grievances that had not been resolved in the Hundred Years' War and the Anti-French Alliance were now to be settled at once.

The mobilized artillery regiments began an endless bombardment, the intensive bombardment of the artillery cut off the retreat of the British army, and the billowing smoke and intensive bombardment turned the French coast into a scorching hell.

Now was the time to test France's industrial capacity, and Napoleon also tried to test France's ability to fight a world war through this campaign.

The bombardment of artillery cut off the link between reinforcements and reinforcements. The French surrounded the supporting British troops in a circle, and then carried out encirclement reinforcements. Napoleon took full advantage of the terrain similar to Tannenberg and devised a good show to lure the enemy in.

If it weren't for the fact that radio had not yet become widespread, and the communication between armies depended entirely on pigeons and heralds, perhaps Napoleon would have fought more brilliantly in this battle.

The British attack and support totaled five divisions, but as the vanguard, they were trapped in a heavy encirclement, and the French bombed every piece of land at any cost, and shells fell on the heads of the British soldiers who fled in a hurry.

Explosions are art, and Napoleon directly turned the French coast into a burning little Verdun.

However, he still overestimated the mobilization ability of the French army, and the encirclement was not completed, and some of the British escaped and retreated to their strongholds before the encirclement was completed.

The troops who broke out of the encirclement also brought bad news to the British command.

"What do you say? Our army is wiped out? ”

He couldn't believe the telegram from the router.

Although General Shellier was thoughtful, he didn't realize that this was a trap until this moment. Thinking back to every detail from the launch of the attack to the present, it seems that he was deliberately lured into taking the bait.

"Damn, why didn't I realize!"

Instead of raising his pistol to his temple, as Samsonov did, he began to reflect on what had gone wrong. One of the divisions that had escaped from the encirclement had been regrouped to the rear, and instead of being able to open a second front, Sherid's attack was severely thwarted.

"Who the hell is my opponent?"

Sherider looked at the map, racking his brain to think about his opponent's routine. From the beginning of the landing operation to the present, almost every offensive has been defused by the French, and Britain seems to have the initiative and the upper hand, but in fact it has been led by the nose by the French. He couldn't help but start believing the rumors that had been rumored in the army before.

The man who had repeatedly defeated the anti-French alliance and stood at the pinnacle of the European empire on the corpse of Great Britain, the giant of war across the Alps.

Shelid took a deep breath of cold air and muttered, "Is it really Napoleon?" ”

When the British were still doubting their lives, the back garden of the Tuileries Palace had been stabilized. Bismarck's advice made Napoleon anxious, and at the same time, he told the other party that he was still staring at France, and the other party must not act rashly.

Thanks to the fact that Germany was eyeing the side of the war, the British did not expand the front. The three countries were balanced and wary of each other, finding an opportunity for the Tuileries to fight back.

Napoleon saw that the war would not expand to the point of a major war in Europe, and all he had to do was to try to pull Britain to a level of parity before it was all over.

For Napoleon, a great victory was coming.

However, while all his eyes were on the front, there were voices of dissent within Parisian politics. Napoleon focused all his energies on the war, ignoring other seemingly inconspicuous characters.

For example, Charles Alexander Dupiy, the outstanding prime minister of the Third Reich in history. He currently holds the position of Speaker of the National Assembly.

When he entered the Tuileries Palace, he saw Dupiy waiting for him.

Napoleon paused and greeted him. The constant feud between the president and the National Assembly has become an open secret, and the lawmakers in Paris are more or less suspicious of the "parliament arson" case.

But they did not dare to raise objections openly with the Emperor, because the next day the parliamentarians would be dragged to Napoleon's "Opryniki" trial on all sorts of questions.

No capitalist has a clean ass, sit in it, and then any incriminating evidence will be dug up for you.

However, before the outbreak of the war, Napoleon still made some concessions to the Congress, and Dupiy became the president of the Congress, and it was Napoleon who gaggled the mouths of those people as a product of compromise.

But when he saw the other party's eyes, there were other emotions of unknown meaning.

Napoleon stopped and asked, "What's the matter, Speaker Dupiy, is there anything wrong?" ”

Dupiy said calmly, "There is now disagreement within Congress with the policy proposed by His Excellency the President to raise taxes. ”

"Then let them disagree. Taxes were levied for this war of revival in France. ”

Napoleon said impatiently, "Is there anything else?" ”

Dupiy looked at Napoleon and frowned, as if hesitating. However, calm soon returned, and he said to Napoleon, "Your Excellency, although I am a politician and do not know much about war, if Your Excellency continues like this, it will make the rich people of France question your Majesty's rule. ”

Napoleon, who didn't want to listen to Dupiy's nonsense, stopped, glanced at the other party with a cold look, and said word by word, "Are you here to give me an ultimatum?" ”

"Nope."

Instead of evading it, Dupiy retorted in a firm tone, "I just hope that Your Majesty will think it through and not follow in the footsteps of the Bourbons." Or rather...... Your Majesty has a tendency to heresy in Marxism? ”

"Depiy."

Napoleon's face changed instantly when he heard the other party compare himself to the Bourbons, he walked up to the other party, pointed to his chest and said, "You'd better figure out one thing, whether you are on the side of the party or the people." ”

Depiy was stunned.

He had never seen His Excellency the President's eyes so gloomy.

"If you're on the wrong side, you'll die."
