Section 40 All-out counteroffensive
readx;
After chatting for a while, both Prince Ferdinand and Brion felt a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoBrion admired the prince's talent and enthusiasm for being a soldier, while Ferdinand took a fancy to Brion's bold and unique ideas and superb military qualities.
The most special thing is that Ferdinand was shocked after talking to several of Brion's cronies, he did not expect that there were still young Zhuang officers with such great potential in France. At the same time, he had to admire Brion's good knowledge. Brion was snickering, for it was these soldiers who had defeated the Prussian army and Davout had killed the prince in front of him, but Brion didn't want that to happen again.
After inspecting Chaumont's Rhine legionnaires, Prince Ferdinand quipped, "Duke, what if I give up your men to me at a high price?"
Brion looked at Bernadotte on the side: "I won't let it, because their value is incalculable!"
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of Braunschweig and other entourage. They seem to interpret this sentence as a joke that Prussia has no talent, and none of them is comparable to the officers of the colonels. Just as they were about to make trouble, Ferdinand made a gesture to calm the embarrassment.
Afterwards, Briand invited Ferdinand to stay in his temporary home for a day. Although it is temporary, it is as luxurious as a five-star hotel. However, when Ferdinand, a foreign envoy, visited, Brion did not mention Louis XVI at all. And Ferdinand didn't seem to be interested in the fat king in the slightest. Brion also knew that for the king, who would only hide in the rear, it would be better to talk to the commander of the army who held temporary power.
"Honorable Prince, I have really wronged you to live in such a house with me. Brion modestly invited Ferdinand to the bedroom on the third floor: "This is where you will be staying today, rest assured, General Braunschweig and some of the personnel have already been arranged in the hotel." β
"Well, that's pretty good. Ferdinand spun around casually: "I really didn't expect France to have such a great figure as you." β
The corners of Brion's mouth raised: "The prince has won the award, and we may have some experience gaps in terms of marching and fighting, but in terms of commanding the three armies, I think you should be better than me." Isn't it?"
Brion had long known that this Prince Ferdinand was young and promising, and he graduated from military school very early and began to serve in the army. Later, because of his royal status, he became a member of the military department, and won the true biography of his grandfather Frederick the Great, and gradually became a popular figure in the military department.
Brion secretly shuddered, he didn't have such a strong strength, and even a famous general like the old Prussian marshal BlΓΌcher could make him surrender.
"By the way, I will keep the promise you gave me. Brion also asked him the question that was most of his concern: "During the day, you said that you discussed it with General Braunschweig, so did you discuss the result?"
"Rest assured, in this world of the jungle, Marais is no longer of any use to us, and we will definitely not spend money to help waste. β
"And what about the five thousand troops that are coming?"
Ferdinand sat comfortably on the sofa: "I will immediately send someone to inform them to stop their advance, and in order to help you, they will be stationed east of the Jura Mountains." As long as nothing happens to you, they will never attack through the French border. β
Listening to the prince's words, Brion pinched a sweat. However, the 5,000 troops were clearly ready for invasion, and if Briand failed, the Prussian army would immediately launch an attack, forcing all of France to surrender.
Marley is nothing more than a cannon fodder pawn.
"Brion. β
"What? Brion was just about to leave when he heard Ferdinand's voice.
He smiled grimly: "You are indeed a great character, I hope we will not meet on the battlefield in the future." If that happens, I won't show you mercy!"
"Of course. β
On 27 June, Prince Ferdinand secretly left Chaumont and traveled to Saxony under the covert protection of Skynet, where his army awaited him.
"General, why don't we kill him on the way?" MacDonald felt a little unworthy.
"This man will surely become our fierce enemy in the future, but he is also necessary for the suppression of the rebellion. Brion said as he looked at the slowly departing carriage.
"Understood. β

"President, the president is not good!" a soldier burst into the president's office, unable to care about the consequences of being punished.
"Fuck, what are you doing running in here?" Marley slapped him angrily.
"Oh no, a kilometer outside of Paris is already surrounded by royal troops! There are 60,000 troops!"
"How is that possible?"
Marley stood up suddenly, and immediately his mind went black.
"The President ... President... President!"
On the morning of 1 July, under Brion's orders, the 1st and 3rd Divisions and nearly 62,000 men of the Guards were rapidly assembled and marched at full speed towards Paris. At this time, the unprepared Marais only cared to wait for the arrival of the five thousand Prussian soldiers and horses, where there had been the slightest preparation. Soon, Paris, the capital of France, was on the verge of being completely surrounded.
However, Brion was not in a hurry to start the battle, and after determining that the main rebel force could not escape, he ordered the whole army to slow down. This is to give the army a sufficient rest time to deal with the various situations that may arise below, and the second is to play a sense of fear of defeating the enemy.
Brion was born to know the great effects of the effects of the human psyche. Brion had bullied people since he was a child, and he told them when they were going to be beaten before he was about to hit them. Then this fear will be gradually increased over time, and even despair.
In the process of advancing from Chaumont, Brion hung the banner of the Rhine Regiments everywhere he went, and sent former officers to the villages to explain his intentions to the people. In addition, he also ordered that all soldiers must not touch the common people with a stitch, and those who violate the order will be shot and disposed of!
In this way, the confusion that had been repeated in the French army did not appear in the slightest during this march. Due to Brion's previous prestige among the common people, as well as his strong military discipline, these common people spontaneously joined the crusade against Marais. Although they are just helping with some transportation.

"Gentlemen, the Republic is facing a threat like never before!"
Marais wakes up and hastily calls a meeting at the Palace of Versailles, but he is utterly disappointed when he looks at the group of politicians in gold and silver, the military department is full of talented officers, and it is useless at all. The only general is still a painter who changed careers, and it costs a lot of money to look at the dress. And those wide-eyed politicians still seem to be drunk and unable to wake up.
Marais paused: "I think the situation is very clear to everyone now, there are 60,000 troops outside Paris! 60,000!"
"What, sixty thousand troops. β
"No, it's too dangerous here!"
"Hurry up and take the deposit and run away!"
Hearing the news of the siege of Paris, the politicians in the audience woke up from a dream, but to his disappointment, these officials did not take this seriously at all, and actually talked about the way back.
At this time, Marley really felt the pain of betrayal and separation, as if he had not even left a way back.
According to common sense, he used to call himself a self-cut.

On 3 July, just as Brion was besieging Paris, an incident occurred in the north that shocked the rebel government. It turned out that the mayor of Nantes saw that the rebels were about to be destroyed, so he secretly contacted the grassroots cadres and the angry people. Just as the guards left behind by the rebels relaxed their vigilance, the people of Nantes rioted, captured the arsenal of the rebels' habitat, and killed the commander left behind in Nantes.
In the midst of this vigorous riot, Nantes declared its independence!
After receiving this news, the whole Rhine army was excited, especially Desai couldn't wait to enter the city to encircle and suppress: "General, now that Marais is the target of everyone, we are fully sure that we will recapture Paris and liberate the whole country!"
Brion, however, was in no hurry to fight, believing that the north was the nest of the rebels, and that if these cities could overthrow Marais on their own, it would save trouble and discourage the defenders of Paris, and when the time came, they would be able to strike a successful blow.
As Brion expected, the independence of Nantes completely exploded into the suppressed anger of the people. On 5 July, the militias captured Chateauillon, and the timid defenders abandoned the city and fled, liberating the northwestern part of France. Later, there were successive large-scale riots such as the independence of Rouen and the independence of Orleans, and almost all the rebels in the north lost their control areas.
On 9 July, Brion sent agents to infiltrate the city of Paris to spread the news that the French army was about to bombard Paris. For a time, all the people dragged their families and scrambled to leave the city. And the rebels already saw no hope, and they were all terrified. After several incidents of soldiers escaping, Ma Lai actually paraded the deserters in the streets in a frenzy and shot them all. This caused discontent among the soldiers, and on July 13, the rebel 1st Brigade mutinied, and several hundred soldiers captured the brigade headquarters and killed the brigade commander. Marais quickly dispatched counterinsurgency forces, but by that time all the soldiers of the 1st Brigade had fled without a trace.
"General, are you ready to attack?" Bernadotte asked with a military salute.
"Remember to keep an opening when besieging the city, I don't want to encounter any stubborn resistance. β
"Yes!"
