Chapter 183
Napoleon looked at the rushing Dnieper River and had mixed feelings in his heart.
"There is information that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were in close contact with the Germans in Athens.
Moreover, German envoys were seen boarding ships to Crete. ”
Intelligence officer Grull stood behind Napoleon and whispered with the folder in his hand.
"What level of exposure have they reached?" Napoleon did not turn around, still looking at the wide Dnieper.
Because of the recent rainy season, the Dnieper River is very fast.
It is precisely because of the arrival of the rainy season that the battlefield has temporarily fallen into silence.
"Zheng Sen, the highest-ranking diplomat of the Ming Dynasty, has arrived in Crete.
We have just received news that Li Xiu, commander-in-chief of the Ming Navy, has also gone to Crete.
The inside line said that it was like going to meet someone, and the level was very high. ”
"Zheng Sen, I've seen that kid. Very shrewd, but his brother was a drunkard. Napoleon still did not forget that Zheng Sen's younger brother Tagawa Shichizaemon.
This kid, when he was in France, can be said to have prostituted all the brothels in Paris.
Today, his legend is still alive and well in Parisian circles.
"Uh......!
There is no news of Tagawa Nanazaemon, and this person seems to have disappeared after returning to the Ming Dynasty. ”
"That's an internal matter of the Ming Dynasty, and I want to know what the Germans want to do.
What the hell is the new Ashi going to do? ”
Napoleon looked a little impatient.
Seeing Napoleon's appearance, Grull was taken aback.
Your Majesty the Emperor, it is rare to have such a gaffe.
What's going on today?
"According to Ashi's performance after coming to power, he still wants to fight.
Although he was opposed to the Hebrews, he also rejected them in the country.
But for the war, he was even more fanatical.
Within Germany, there are still a large number of people in the upper echelons who still have Frederick and Bismarck in mind.
However, Ashi used Moltke, and he really won over a lot of people within the army.
I think that the Germans are now making peace with the Ming people, and they should want to leave a way back for themselves. ”
"What do you mean by staying behind?" Napoleon looked back at the young lieutenant colonel officer.
"The Germans seem to be on the defensive, what are they going to do if they lose the war?
They are afraid that the Ming people will liquidate against them! ”
Napoleon glanced at Gruul and looked back at the rushing Dnieper.
Leclerc glanced at Napoleon's back and said tentatively: "Your Majesty the Emperor, should we communicate with the Germans."
After all, we have now been able to contain the advance of the Ming armored forces.
If we improve our equipment in time, we may be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, our military strength still has an advantage over the Ming Dynasty.
Let the Germans know that we can win.
As long as we unite and launch an offensive on all fronts after the rainy season, the Ming army will not be able to resist it. ”
Leclerc's current power, status, and Napoleon's favor all owe it to this war.
If it weren't for this war, he might still be a colonel, not like he is now.
With the rank of lieutenant general, he commanded an army group.
You know, the commanders of several other army groups are all marshals.
If there was one person inside France who didn't want to end the war the least, it would be Leclerc.
"The Germans really didn't want to fight this war at all, and we were completely in the hands of Frederick and Bismarck.
Gu Xian
While we were fighting bloody battles on the southern front, the Germans on the northern front were squatting in the trenches all day long.
Excuse the cold weather and too much snow to make it difficult to move.
Bah!
Could it be that the snow in Tsaritsyn is small? Or is Tsaritsyn not cold?
French soldiers, shed their last drop of blood in Tsaritsyn.
But the Germans still stood still.
If they had been able to advance to Moscow in winter, the course of the war would definitely not have been like this.
At the very least, the front on the Northern Front will be pushed under Moscow, and not in Smolensk, as is the case now, to sleep in Smolensk. ”
Napoleon spoke with some emotion, his chest heaving violently.
These days, Napoleon was unusually irritable.
Except for the last battle, in the Battle of Belgorod, the French army suffered heavy losses.
Nasty hemorrhoids, which also tormented Napoleon's body and mind.
Last night, with the help of sleeping pills, Napoleon managed to get a good night's sleep.
"Your Majesty, you are angry.
After all, the war has entered the current stage, and in any case, in the Battle of Belgorod, we still withstood the attack of the Ming army.
And we held Kharkov, and the Ming army was already retreating back in the Kursk salient.
In order to level the battle line so that there will not be a large gap. ”
"But the Ming army still has an advantage in equipment, there are planes in the sky and tanks on the ground.
These two things are really too damaging to our soldiers.
By the way, Grull, how about the interrogation of the captured pilots of the Ming army. ”
Speaking of airplanes, Napoleon remembered that during the Battle of Belgorod, the French captured five Ming pilots.
Napoleon very much wanted to know the secrets of the plane from their mouths.
In his opinion, if he can fly an airplane, he will definitely build an airplane.
"Their confessions are similar to those of the previously captured pilots, they can only fly planes, they do not repair planes and build planes.
The principle of the airplane, they also explained it clearly to the professors of the University of Paris.
The professors, too, said they understood. ”
"So when will we be able to have airplanes?"
"Uh......!" Grull glanced at Napoleon helplessly.
"Professors at the University of Paris say that knowing the principle does not mean that you can make it.
Moreover, our steel mills are not able to produce the right materials for aircraft.
We can't make the engines we need in our factory. ”
Grull was very helpless, His Majesty the Emperor was obviously a little ambitious.
The tank engine running on the ground has not yet been rectified, and it wants to tinker with the aircraft engine.
"With so much money spent in a year, you have to come up with something useful." Napoleon roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, they still made something.
They succeeded in making the locomotive much smaller, so that they could lay a much smaller branch light-haul railway.
Our logistics will be much better because of the light-haul railway.
Now the front line has already begun to be laid.
I believe that after the rainy season, our logistics supply will be greatly improved. ”
"Hmmm! That's good news. ”
PS: For some well-known reasons, Adolf changed his name to Ashi.
This is also something that can't be helped, so please forgive me!
