Although it only ate the French and a cavalry division of less than 8,000 people, the mobilization of France in this era was very urgent, and there were not even standing divisions on weekdays, and even in national wars like the Franco-Prussian War, less than 600,000 people were mobilized, including 250,000 non-combat troops.

Therefore, these 8,000 elite cavalry are enough to make His Majesty Nasan, who was shocked by the bad news, heartbroken and unable to breathe.

He immediately picked up a map of Mexico, studied it for a day and a night, and finally came to the conclusion that the main force of the Ming people was in Santa Ana, and they were trying to seize the railroad and then follow it into the heart of Mexico.

At the meeting of the General Staff Bureau, the three emperors patted the table and said, "I want to lead the royal guards to relieve the siege of Santa Anna, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Marshal Bazin knew the depth of His Majesty Nasan, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Majesty, Marshal McMahon is the best general in the empire, and you don't need to go there in person to have him in Santa Ana, as long as you order the defense forces of San Luis Poto and Zacatecas to go to support, you will definitely be able to intercept the Ming army north of Santa Ana." ”

Marshal Bazin opened his mouth, and the other generals also said that His Majesty the Emperor had been left in the center of Mexico City to command, and according to intelligence, the number of the army's army was only tens of thousands, and there was no need to risk it himself.

Faced with popular opposition, Napoleon III had no choice but to compromise.

He said that he didn't just say it casually when he wanted to drive the expedition in person, and he really liked war.

This may be because of his uncle's bloodline, or maybe because he has been imitating his uncle intentionally or unintentionally so that he has been too deep into the play.

And Nasan's wife, Empress Eugenie, was also a belligerent.

She often blew the wind on her pillow and said, "My dear, how can our son be emperor if we don't start a war?" ”

The combination of internal and external factors led to the belligerent character of His Majesty Nasan, so that the French Empire was always at war.

And he's not just a big fan of food.

Of course, Nasan His Majesty is indeed quite a dish, but he is like Galen in bronze with a six-god costume, and he is cremated all the way to the head of Algeria, Italy, Khmer, Vietnam, Tsarist Russia, the Qing Dynasty, the Tokugawa shogunate and other "masters".

It wasn't until he met Da Ming in Japan that the god costume encountered a hanging, and this was the first time he broke the halberd and sank into the sand and encountered a major defeat.

This is also why after the defeat in the battle for Japan, Nasanhui was so persistent in treating Zhu Fugui as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and even did not hesitate to cross the Atlantic Ocean and come to Mexico in person to find a place to recover.

Losing to Daming is not only a matter of lining, but also a matter of face.

And the question of face is more about his legitimacy as the heir of Napoleon Bonaparte.

And once his legitimacy is questioned, then the plan to pass on the throne to his son, so that the Bonaparte family and the old nobles will undoubtedly run aground.

In short, taking three is Zhu Fugui in Europe, and Zhu Fugui is taking three in the Americas.

The legitimacy of their ruling power comes from the abundant martial virtues of their predecessors, which dooms both of them to hope to completely defeat each other and show that they are more full of martial virtues than their predecessors.

This is a king-to-king contest, and Nasan is eager to show his exquisite battlefield micro-maneuvers and shatter all doubts about himself.

It's just that I didn't expect that this time the ministers actually objected to personally leading the army to rescue.

In desperation, Nasan had no choice but to put away his desire to express himself and continue to stay in Mexico City to strategize.

But soon he discovered the beauty of the telegraph.

Unlike in history, Prussia was hit hard because it did not pay attention to telegraph technology.

Before the last Japanese war, Nasan received a telegram from Zhu Fugui 31 minutes in advance, and coupled with the long-term trend of frequent telegraphs from the Ming Dynasty to the world, this time, Nasan realized the importance of telegrams in advance.

Mexico originally had a telegraph line to the north.

After the overhaul, His Majesty Nasan telegraphed to his loyal fortress of Santa Anna.

At first, it was just a simple inquiry, but soon His Majesty found that with the development of technology, it seemed that he could command the battle remotely without going to the front line.

So, Mo Bai and Zhao Xizhu were surprised to find that from a certain day, the French nerves of Santa Ana had become abnormal.

They instructed the Mexicans to build a low wall in the morning, cut it with a sledgehammer in the afternoon, rebuild it half a metre forward, and then retreat a metre again two days later, and enjoyed it.

Mo Bai felt that this must be the French using fatigue tactics to prevent the Mexican servants from rebelling.

Sure enough, the relationship between imperialism and their vassals is so deceitful and cruel.

·

His Majesty was pleased to discover that, thanks to his exquisite command, the fortress of Santa Ana had become impregnable.

Although the Ming army was only 40,000 men, there were more than 100,000 Franco-Mexican soldiers gathered around the fortress of Santa Anna;

Although those Ming people took advantage of the night to destroy the barbed wire fence several times, and burned and killed the military camps outside the fortress;

Although no one has dared to confirm the casualties of the Ming army so far;

But in any case, one thing is certain, the people of the Ming Kingdom did not cross the fortress an inch.

Under the careful arrangement of this emperor, Santa Anna became the Constantinople of North America that will never fall!

This may sound familiar, but it doesn't matter.

The military correspondent of the Paris Journal had already sent a press release to the country that "His Majesty the Supreme Emperor has today punished Tatar robbers from the north".

Let the Parisians know that they have the upper hand in the contest with Zhu Fugui, the Satanic dragon of Christendom, this is what Nasan cares about the most.

It's a pity that Mexico is not Europe after all, and its telegraph network is not developed.

While Nasan was basking in back-to-back victories in the defense of Santa Ana, a hurricane was sweeping northeast of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Coahuila, at noon, the sun is blazing.

"There is a yellow rose in Texas~????

How I long to take a look~????

……”

Guo Dazhuang fried eggs on the front armor plate of the Iron Harrier, and blew a cheerful Texas folk song in his mouth.

He learned the song from a Texas girl.

That girl is a fan of "Miss San Diego" and a loyal listener of "The Voice of Daming".

Guo Dazhuang rejected her show of love, and the sad Texas girl sang him the song "Yellow Rose of Texas" when she was leaving.

"Guo Tou'er, why do you refuse a girl!"

"That's it, battalion commander, don't you know what is going on with you? Three inches of dead bark, jump up to eat the big steamed bun on the chest of the girl! actually picks and chooses. ”

Facing the ridicule of his comrades-in-arms, Guo Dazhuang couldn't help but snort: "Huzi, you have itchy skin, right?" Your kid will soon be half a centimeter taller than me, day by day, be careful that I give you a physical drop! ”

To be honest, as the ace tanker of the Wu Mu Army, Guo Dazhuang is indeed not tall.

Otherwise, he would not have been selected to be the driver of the first Han cavalry tank.

Although today's Iron Float tank has increased its weight from 1.7 tons to 3 tons compared to the Hanqi 01.

But the increased weight was mainly due to the thickness of the armor, and the interior space was as small as ever.

At the end of the day, this Iron Harrier is just an enhanced version of the "Old Man Le" (pictured).

Guo Dazhuang chased out with a shovel of scrambled eggs, and Li Huzi hurriedly begged for mercy: "Battalion commander, I was wrong, I was wrong, our battalion leader Yushu is in the wind, and he looks like Pan'an, and his original intention has not changed, saying that if he wants to buy a grid to play, he must buy a grid to play!" ”

"Phew, what do you mean to buy, this is called free love!"

Guo Dazhuang scratched his head embarrassedly, "The main reason is that I was dizzy back then, and I mentioned it when I burned paper for my mother, and then the flames burst out, I think my mother took it seriously!" ”

The Ming Dynasty did not object to the intermarriage between the Manchus and the Hans, and the banner women could naturally marry the Han Ding.

However, it is strictly forbidden to intermarry with Manchus within the army and in sensitive posts, and even go up to the third generation, and if there are relatives of the banner people, the political examination will not be qualified.

So Guo Dazhuang had to wait until he was discharged from the army in the future, and then go to see if he could find a Gege to go home and be a mother-in-law.
