Section 51 Rebirth
readx;
Fast forward to the beginning of December, but as time went on, Brion's fears grew worse and worse, and the inexplicable naval battle in the Mediterranean had brought him into contact with the British Empire, which was enough to kill himβto encourage the army to destroy territorial sovereignty and deliberately kill and injure friendly soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Briand was well aware of the stakes in this matter, and a few years earlier he had framed the Count of Baden and mercilessly executed him, even if he was innocent. And Brion also clearly remembers that it was because of this time that he became a prince of a land from a small count, and since then he has formed a bond with the Austrian Empire.
Brion has demonstrated the actions of the British Empire in his mind countless times. If the events of the Mediterranean naval battle are viciously vilified by the British media, Brion may fall into hell on earth.
The old enemy, Archduke Charles of Austria, would certainly cooperate with the actions of the British Empire, and even coerce France into submission, but this was only on the premise that the French government wanted to save Briand's life. However, Brion was still aware of the character of the French Bourbon royal family, while Louis XVI wanted to stifle Briand's development as much as his foreign enemies. It is clear that Brion has violated Louis XVI's bottom line in his previous actions. This narrow-minded king would not allow his courtiers to commit crimes, even though Brion had saved all of France.
The most fatal thing is the British Empire, which is the fuse of the whole incident. Although Brion had nothing to do with the Empire, he did the misfortune of damaging the Royal Navy, which Britain valued most. An empire that is isolated on an island will of course defend its navy on the front line of the empire, and attack the British fleet in the event of a violation of territorial waters. Brion couldn't have imagined any good opportunities.
Moreover, the current confrontation across Europe and the annexation of the Kingdom of West by Prussia are inseparable from Brion, and the British Empire may use it to harm Brion.
Aggression combined with instigation of war is tantamount to a war criminal!
"Could it be that I am in a hurry to achieve quick success and provoke too many enemies?" Brion lay alone on the bench and thought sadly: "Could it be that my life will be so short?
But it was at this time of Brion's greatest frustration that all his cronies and generals leaned on his side. Bernadotte and Davout, who were far away on the mainland, sent letters to the base, saying that as long as Brion allowed it, 60,000 elite troops would be immediately deployed, and everything would be aimed at the Brion regime.
The commander of the army in the fiefdom, Sirte, also said that the 80,000 recruits were all equipped, all of them were strong and brave. In the past few years of training, it has become the best army in Europe. As long as Brion gives the order, the whole army will be led by Brion and will be the leader.
And Wernerf, who was by Brion's side, used Brion as a symbol to strengthen the idea of naval soldiers, and everything was centered on Brion, so as to show Brion's loyalty to Brion!
In this way, Briand would have control of at least two-thirds of the French navy.
The most loyal is still MacDonald, who has always supported Brion by his side, and gave Brion a guarantee at the most critical moment: "General, as long as we still have a breath, Skynet will not let you be harmed, even in the face of the three great empires! In the future, you can go to the United States or even Africa, and Skynet will shed the last drop of blood for you!"
At this time, Brion thought of the embarrassment of Napoleon after his defeat in "The Biography of Napoleon". Although he was no different from the danger he was in Napoleon's day, it was only the unity of Brion's forces that satisfied the young general. Napoleon's defeat was mainly due to demoralization and betrayal by traitors. However, in this group that may fail, everyone is willing to tide over the difficulties with Brion together.
Although the officers and men of the three armies unanimously admired Brion, the mutiny was indeed not a good way out. At this time, Brion only had an army of more than 100,000 in his hands, a spy organization, and its power was far less entrenched than that of the Bourbon royal family. Moreover, the Paris regime was not infiltrated by Briand's forces, so even if it was able to mutiny, it did not consolidate to a certain extent.
And now is not the time to support Briand's seizure of power, when a cry from the top will inevitably lead to a civil war in France. At this time, France probably had more than 300,000 troops, and even if Brion could defeat the enemy, France's military strength would suffer greatly.
More importantly, even if a temporary victory is achieved, the powerful monarchs of Europe who support the Bourbons will be the first to oppose Brion's regime. The period of the Napoleonic Wars is a striking example, and Napoleon was ultimately unable to withstand the defeat of the Seventh Anti-French Coalition!
By mid-December, relations in Europe had deteriorated again, and Austria had sent to Germany a German legion of 20,000 men under the command of Field Marshal Wirmzer, and 150,000 reinforcements were massed on the Austrian border. The British Empire also began to gradually implement joint plans, and transported an army of 10,000 men to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The Russian Empire also secretly began to oppose Prussian expansion, but without prejudice to its future interests, Russia decided to wait and see before going to war.
However, Catherine II privately gave Prussia a guarantee that she would definitely defend Prussia's rights and interests as an ally. However, everyone knows that what this "European gendarme" empire likes most is to do the business of watching the fire from the other side and then taking advantage of the fire to rob.
Just when the total strength of the three empires reached 100,000, the British powers suddenly attacked France, using the Mediterranean naval battle as evidence to demand that the French government severely punish the naval commanders.
However, this spearhead was directed at Brion, and Louis XVI made no secret of it, he had enough of this unusual royal noble. At this time, Britain's request was exactly what he wanted.
On 17 December, the French government suddenly arrested Brion and immediately convicted him, but this was done in secret. Louis XVI feared that he would once again overthrow France and even the Bourbon dynasty because of Briand's influence among the people.
However, Louis XVI never dreamed that the day after the royal gendarmerie arrested Briand, the French newspapers would report the secret news.
Just after the incident broke out, the arrest immediately attracted the attention of the whole French people, and the newspapers of this day were actually looted. And all of this, of course, is MacDonald's handiwork, and for the loosely disciplined Royal Gendarmerie, Skynet infiltrating it is a complete piece of cake. However, MacDonald's first task was to use the French people to save Briand's life.
Of course, none of this disappointed MacDonald. On 19 December, a massive civil march erupted at the Palais de Versailles, and the focus of this protest naturally fell on Briand. Louis XVI's worst fears came true.

"This young man is simply lawless, and I'm not sure we need to help this young man?"
"But this young man has brought great glory to France!
In the conference room, a number of elderly generals began to argue fiercely, but the most authoritative was Marshal Philip, who was at the top.
"Stop, my dear comrades. Philip tapped on the mahogany desk to end a long-standing argument.
He glanced around and said slowly: "Our Duke of Baden has revived our royal family and is the most important talent in the future Kingdom of France! I think everyone here has no objection, he has indeed done great things that we could not accomplish when we were young! We must support him!"
"But how can we support him? What he did was intolerable. An old man with the rank of lieutenant general said, patting the table.
"But his contribution to the kingdom is obvious, and he is also creative for the navy, and we can't take away his recognition because of a mistake made by the Duke of Baden. Without him, our kingdom's army would not be as strong as it is now!" Philip coughed twice: "I suggest that we jointly petition the king and ask for the release of the Duke of Baden on bail, even if I lose my life, I will do my best!"
With a bang, everyone stood up from their seats and saluted in unison: "Understood! Marshal!"
γγγγγγ
On 23 December, amid a nationwide protest, Field Marshal Philippe united a dozen generals from the military department to demand that the royal family be relieved of the crimes against the Duke of Baden. This epoch-making move immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the whole country, and the Bourbon royal family gradually lost control of France.
Just when the Bourbon royal family was helpless, news came from the German battlefield that the Austrian army had been repulsed, and the British army began to advance to fully support the Austrian army that was retreating. The entire German battlefield was again in a state of confrontation, and the Prussian army was slightly inferior in terms of form.
Just as France, Austria and Britain were slightly relaxed, another 10,000 soldiers from Prussia were sent to the German front, which obviously increased the pressure on the coalition forces.
And Prince Ferdinand, who was far away from the German battlefield, also understood that the Kingdom of Prussia was not capable of dealing with three great powers at once for the time being, and Russia in the East was also peeping at the big fat of Prussia, and once it failed, then the Kingdom of Prussia would be completely wiped out.
King Wilhelm III of Prussia, after seeing the great strength of the Prussians, gradually had the intention of launching a war.
As Prussia prepared to make peace with the nations of Europe, Prince Ferdinand thought of the trapped Brion. Brion had helped Prussia before, and this annexation of Germany was also a backing favor for Brion. Perhaps it would be useful to leave this man's life alive later, Ferdinand thought.
Finally, at the end of December, the Great War that shook all of Europe finally came to an end. Prussia signed the Four-Power Treaty with France, Austria, and Great Britain, which stipulated: first, Prussia could obtain the Kingdom of Saxony and the Kronberg region in the north. Second, Prussia and several other countries withdrew their troops, and the German region became a demilitarized zone. Thirdly, Prussia has the right to release those involved in this incident.

"Prince Ferdinand, is there anything important for you to come over in person?" Talleran hugged Ferdinand as soon as he saw him.
Prince Ferdinand replied indifferently, and took a white document from his assistant's hand: "I have come here to release a friend of ours, which is allowed in the treaty! β
Talleylan nodded respectfully: "Who do you want to release?"
"Duke of Baden, Kingdom of France, Lieutenant General Briand. β
"Brion?!" Tallelan was taken aback.
In the previous operation to capture Brion, Louis XVI had secretly revealed his intention to completely solve Brion, and even if the plan was blocked, then he could use the power of the British Empire to suppress his opponents.
However, Talleyland never had one opponent in mind, and that was the Kingdom of Prussia, the actual winner of the war!
"Maybe the British Empireγγγγγ β
Before Talleyland could finish speaking, Prince Ferdinand interrupted him: "What do you mean?
"Of course not, of course not. β
The corners of Ferdinand's mouth raised: "We Prussia are the most warlike nation in Germany, and France is not qualified to interfere with our will!
"Thisγγγγγγγγ TalleyrΓ‘n was speechless for a moment, and the young boy was as violent as Brion.
It is clear that Brion is like a phoenix this time, because the Prussian friends are on their feet again.
However, when Louis XVI learned of Prussia's intentions, he felt a wave of anger, but he still did not dare to overtake the intentions of the great powers. Although Brion has been released, he must no longer be in power, and he cannot return to the army!
Louis XVI thought that maybe he could find a permanent place for this nobleman in Lyon, and never come out again to attract attention!
