Napoleon held a telescope and looked at the German positions in the distance.

The Germans are already under the city of Paris!

For many French, there are only two parts of France. Paris, and beyond Paris.

Historically, Paris has never been captured. Because as long as Paris was in danger of being captured, the French would surrender.

War destroys everything, including beautiful palaces, precious works of art, and the pride of the French.

The Gallic rooster, even if defeated, will not bow its head high.

"The German front-line troops were already very tired from continuous fighting. Our army should take advantage of the present opportunity to launch an offensive. Ney looked at the German positions in the distance and gritted his teeth.

"It is dangerous to launch an offensive now, and our army is very tired from continuous fighting. The most important thing is that our army is now seriously undersupplied. Marshal Neville sighed helplessly.

"MacDonald, only your Seventh Army is not wounded, and your Seventh Army was the first to withdraw from Ukraine, and you should go first."

"For the sake of France, I am willing to shed every last drop of blood, as long as His Majesty the Emperor gives orders." MacDonald doesn't fall for it.

He was promoted relatively late, and his troops were not as elite as Ney's First Army.

At this time, it is better to talk less.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our logistical supplies are seriously insufficient. Food and ammunition are tight! General Davout shook his head helplessly.

This was another way of exhortation, and he did not want Napoleon's hasty landlords to attack.

The marshals expressed their opinions, and the grumpy Ney was already arguing with the other marshals.

Napoleon did not stop the noise of his men, but continued to observe the situation on the other side.

Finally, Napoleon put down the telescope. The marshals, who were about to fight, saw that Napoleon had turned around and immediately stopped arguing.

Ney gave Davout a vicious look, and Davout glared back viciously.

"I decided to launch an attack, if it worked. We will be able to restore the front to the Franco-German border!

If this offensive fails, then I will surrender to the Germans. As for what the Germans are going to do with us, it's up to the Germans. ”

Napoleon's face was grim!

A pair of eagle-like eyes, looking at these marshals under his command.

His eyes swept over the faces of the marshals one by one, and finally settled on Lucellion's.

"Lucellion, I wonder what your lieutenant is doing with the Germans?" As soon as Napoleon's words came out, Lycellion seemed to fall into the ice cellar.

"Your Majesty...... His Majesty...... His Majesty...... Your Majesty, I ...... I...... I ......" Lucellion's lips trembled, and she couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Lucellion, I remember when I was in Egypt, you were a groom." Napoleon paced and said leisurely.

His eyes looked at the sky, as if he had traveled back in time to the Egyptian era.

"Yes...... Yes, Your Majesty! Lycellion could barely stand, her back pressed against the edge of the trench, as if she were about to squeeze herself into the dirt.

"Over the years, you have gone from a groom to a marshal of the French Empire, step by step.

Lucellion, has France treated you badly, have I treated you badly? Napoleon stared at Lycellion's eyes.

"Your Majesty! I was wrong, I was wrong, Your Majesty ......! Lycellion fell to her knees and wept bitterly.

"Then why did you betray France, betray me!

What good did the Germans give you, you are going to defect to France. Napoleon suddenly roared.

All the marshals were startled, even the rough Ney, his body trembled.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to. It's just that...... It's just that......! ”

"Pull it down and bring Lucellone before a military tribunal." As soon as Napoleon gave the order, two strong guards came over, picked up the already limp Lycellion and left.

Something like this happened, and the marshals stopped talking.

At this time, it has reached the point of life and death. Whoever dares to betray France and betray Napoleon is the common enemy of all.

The marshals know better than anyone else!

If he had been in the reign of Louis XVI, he would not have been able to become a marshal.

It is even more unlikely that it will have the status it has today!

At that time, France was the world of nobles at all levels. If someone who is not a nobleman wants to be promoted, it is simply difficult to climb to the sky.

It was Napoleon who promoted them again and again to where they are today.

In other words, their souls have already been branded with Napoleon.

The Germans came, and they were the first to be liquidated.

"The Germans are coming, and I will surrender if I am defeated. What the Germans will do to me, it's hard for me to say.

They may kill me, they may exile me, or they may hand me over to the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, I'm very relieved. Because in this life, I have fought with true warriors.

You, my marshals, you are all warriors of France.

Let's fight one last time, let's fight one last time for the French nation. ”

Napoleon paced again, his eyes wandering back and forth over the faces of the marshals.

"Your Majesty, Ney will follow you to the end. I will definitely die on the battlefield, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to help me find a good coffin.

After my death, let my son continue to fight with His Majesty the Emperor. Ney stepped forward, roaring and yelling.

"We are willing to shed all our blood for His Majesty the Emperor." The marshals also came out one after another.

At this time, attitude is important. More important than anything!

"I know we're facing a lot of difficulties right now. The factory is underproducing and cannot fully supply the front.

And we don't have enough food, and we can't collect food from the people anymore. They're already hungry!

But even if there are difficulties, we will fight for France until the last moment.

If occupied by the Germans, our French would have been banned. Henceforth we will only be able to speak barbaric German, and Paris will be reduced to a place where animals can run wild.

Our children will groan in pain under the iron hooves of the invaders. All of this is going to happen before our eyes.

Gentlemen, for the sake of our children, for the future of France. We are going to fight again, to attack the Germans again. Napoleon waved his fist, and at this moment he was no longer short, but very tall.

"For our children, for the future of France." The marshals roared again.

"Alright, let's go and get ready. The specific offensive sequence and battle plan will be issued this evening. The ministries must be well prepared before the day after tomorrow, and once this offensive is launched, we cannot stop.

We will not be able to stop until we reoccupy the Franco-German border and inflict heavy losses on the German army. ”

Napoleon was a little helpless, he also wanted to fight all the way to Berlin, but his strength did not allow it.

"Yes......!" The marshals left one after another, returned to their units and began to set up.

Everyone knows that this is the last battle, and if they win, they will still be the French magnates.

If they were defeated, they would have to be reduced to clowns for the Germans' amusement, or they would have killed themselves with guns.

The last battle, the battle to the death!

"Your Majesty, our supplies are still poor. When a counterattack is launched at this time, not only will there be no food supply, but also artillery shells and ammunition will not be available.

If the front line is fighting and running out of ammunition, then ......! Davout didn't leave, and he realized that Ney wasn't gone either.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a long time, and Davout couldn't express his worries.

"Davout! Ammunition and food, already disembarked at the port of Lyon. The first batch of supplies will be delivered tomorrow. Napoleon said lightly.

"Tomorrow?" Davout's eyes lit up, but he soon realized that it was the British.

Damn the British, they're all vampires, so they wouldn't be so kind to support France.

As if to see Davout's thoughts, Napoleon sighed and said, "Mula negotiated very hard in London, and in the end I agreed to the British territorial claim to Caen.

It was also promised that Britain would have the right to garrison troops in France except Paris. In addition, the French government wants to cede half of the shares of the French railway company.

Also, the British have a limited right to use the port of Karachi.

Also, France wants to buy targeted interest-free government bonds from the United Kingdom, with a repayment period of ...... 100 years!

All this will be guaranteed by French customs duties. "Napoleon uttered more than a dozen unequal treaties in a row.

Each of them is almost a gross violation of the sovereignty of the French Empire.

Ney's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the British are pumping our blood. ”

Davout was also furious, and if he did, France would de facto become a colony of England.

"Ney, Davout! I know that this is a great damage to the sovereignty of France, but I can't help it.

We want to keep Paris, we want to keep France. There is only one way to go! ”

"Your Majesty......!" Davout glanced at Ney, then at Napoleon.

"Say, I don't blame you for what you said today." Napoleon saw Davout's appearance and whispered.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we should get in touch with Da Ming."

"Davout, you're crazy. You're going to make a deal with the devil! Davout's voice fell, and Ney was already jumping.

Napoleon stopped Ney, and he actually wanted to compromise with the Ming. However, ......, it is impossible to compromise with Daming now.

Since the day when the French sent troops to occupy Ukraine and formed a coalition to attack Russia, it was no longer possible to compromise.

For the sake of this war, both the Ming and the French shed enough blood. The hatred condensed by so much blood is not something that can be brought over by a word of surrender.

To some extent, Napoleon would rather let France be occupied by the Germans than give France to the Ming with both hands.

Although the Germans speak German, they are of the same faith as the French. Moreover, their appearance is also more similar.

And the Ming people are a completely different race. Not only is the appearance completely out of bounds, but also the beliefs and thinking habits are completely different.

They are infidels, outliers of this world.

For France and Napoleon, the Ming ruled the world, and it was the darkness that enveloped the light.

"The Ming will destroy France, and we, and our children, the children's children, will forever become the slaves of the Ming Dynasty.

And, most likely, there will never be a day of success. Napoleon reluctantly patted Davout on the shoulder.

For the first time, his hands were filled with a sense of powerlessness!

Soon, a shipload of arms and grain arrived in Lyon in the English Channel!

As soon as they got off the ship, they were loaded onto the train and sent to the front line in Paris.

And the German army, because of the continuous fighting for more than a month, began to rest on the battlefield. The new forces in the rear were successively transferred to the front.

The troops at the front are also silently hoarding supplies for consumption in the next campaign.

Knowing that the capital of France lay ahead, the German soldiers, who had never seen Paris in their lives, were excited.

They all wanted to drive to Paris as soon as possible to see if it looked like the legendary world of flowers.

Rommel was very excited because his troops were finally replenished. Moreover, this addition almost fills all the posts that are missing.

All of them were sturdy stick boys with brand-new rifles in their hands.

Not only were they replenished with personnel, but even with equipment. Among them, the 210 mm rocket launchers, which had never been issued to other German units, were now present in Rommel's troops.

It's just a pity that this rocket is more difficult to reload. After one launch, it takes an hour before another one can be launched.

But Rommel was also grateful for this, he was the first division commander to have twelve strategic-class heavy rocket artillery.

Not only did rocket artillery increase, but so did artillery.

Rheinmetall's latest 155mm howitzer is comparable to the performance of Daming's howitzer.

In some respects, it is even better than the howitzers of the Ming Dynasty.

The Germans were preparing, and so were the French opposite.

But just when no one expected it, the battle suddenly began.

In the early hours of 11 November, the positions of the French troops suddenly opened fire. The front-line troops bombarded the German positions for only half an hour before the infantry attacked.

The unprepared Germans, after the initial confusion, soon began to counterattack.

The German machine guns began to fire indiscriminately, and tracer bullets appeared unusually bright in the pre-dawn darkness.

Groups of French soldiers fell on the way to the charge. However, at this time, the howitzers of the French army also seemed to have eyes, staring at the machine guns of the Germans.

While the tracer bullet indicates the target, it also reveals their position.

But these bomb bags were already loaded before the war. Five ordinary rounds, one tracer round.

If you want to take it off now, there's still no time.

With the help of the cover of artillery fire, plus the suddenness of the attack. Before the sun appeared, the French 1st Army advanced five kilometers forward for the attack.

The remaining French troops also poured into the opening torn by the First Army, and the French counterattack on all fronts began.
