Hundreds of thousands of people fighting?

Jérôme. Bonaparte's voice was not very loud, but all the officers present felt a hint of coolness and fear.

Since the abdication of the emperor, France has not fought a single battle of more than 100,000 men for nearly 30 years, and in these 30 years, France has only engaged in small-scale security warfare and anti-guerrilla warfare, and the army only needs to dispatch a few thousand to 10,000 troops to destroy the enemy of such small forces.

It can be said that the whole of France, and even the whole of Europe, is about to lose the ability of large armies to fight together, the most typical example of which is the Austrian Empire, which has been leveling for thirty years, and now even its own militia cannot win.

[Between 1848 and 1849, the Habsburgs launched three attacks on Hungary. Jelačić, Prince Wendy Schgretz, and the Emperor did not defeat Hungary, which consisted of the National Guard, until the Russian Empire invaded Hungary from Transylvania. 】

The army after the Napoleonic Wars had already begun a general degradation.

Of course, wars are not fought more and stronger, and endless law and order wars are likely to plunge the army into the abyss of the same rank.

Jérôme. Bonaparte clearly remembered that after the disintegration of Mao Xiong, the Eagle Commander of the Global Bubu was under the command of Ermao's family, and the Eagle Commander, who had rich experience in public security warfare, was surrounded by two tank divisions at the beginning, and after that, he was even more defeated.

At the end of the war, the Ermao government army, which was itself on the offensive, was counterattacked by the split East Ermao.

It can be seen from this that it is easy to fall to the same level after fighting too much law and order warfare.

After a brief moment of surprise, the expressions of all the officers present became excited.

In any case, the "auxiliary organs" capable of commanding hundreds of thousands of people must not be literal.

Lieutenant Colonel Leboeuf suddenly remembered that he had heard a former military attache in Prussian in the Algiers colony say that the center of power in the Prussian army was not in the Ministry of War, but in the General Staff, which was not the organ of the auxiliary army!

Thinking of this, the blood that should have been dormant in Leboeuf's heart boiled again.

For every soldier who aspires to make meritorious contributions, it is undoubtedly a great honor to be able to command a war of more than 100,000 people.

History will leave a strong mark on them, just like the emperor and his marshals.

Leboeuf subconsciously glanced at Jérôme. Bonaparte, he was not sure that the emperor's nephew would be able to achieve as much merit as his uncle, but he was willing to try it.

Seeing that the voices of the war chamber were getting louder and louder, Leboeuf, who was at the forefront of power and age in addition to the president, cleared his throat and shouted: "Quiet! ”

No more commotion, they all turned their eyes to Leboeuf.

Leboeuf glanced at Jérôme. Bonaparte could go on and on.

Jérôme. Bonaparte told all the officers present what he had told Minister Lyuelli two months earlier.

Feeling profitable, the officers said that they must separate the government and decrees, and that it would be better for them to hold the power to give orders to the army.

Jérôme. Bonaparte fulfilled their assumptions, and his finger swept over all the officers present and said: "You will be witnesses to this decree separation, and you will also be participants!" Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" All the officers present were eager to use all their strength to shout, and they could not contain their excitement at this time.

"Good! Very energetic! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, what he needed was a wolf that could call and not hunt its prey, not a pack of flimsy lambs.

"Mr. President!" Trochu gestured to Jérôme. Bonaparte, he had a question to say: "What is our specific task?" I can't wait to get started! ”

Bazin asked bluntly, he didn't want to waste his time in endless meetings.

Jérôme. Bonaparte thought for a moment, then said, "Good question! As the military secretariat, you are responsible for the fate of the whole of France, and your task is to make practical preparations for a possible war! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned for a while, they didn't understand Jérôme. Bonaparte meaning.

Could it be that other countries are coming to invade France again?

After hesitating for a moment, Leboeuf cautiously raised his hand and asked, "Mr. President, is someone going to invade us?" ”

"No...... No...... No! "Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his index finger and explained: "There is no one among them who has invaded us!" ”

All the officers present breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they like to invade other people's territory, they don't like to pull the front line down at home, in that case, God knows what France will be ruined.

"What I mean is that in peacetime, we must work out some corresponding plans, predict the possible appearance of the enemy and the position of the enemy, predict all kinds of complex possibilities, and rationally distribute our forces!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said earnestly to the officers: "This is not an easy job, so I asked you to come!" We are not trying to invade a country, we are just trying to give us more room to maneuver and mobilize as soon as the enemy comes. ”

Many of those present understood Jérôme. Part of Bonaparte's meaning, they were silent and their eyes revealed mixed emotions.

"So your first task is to gather as much information as possible about your group's area of responsibility, I need to know their numbers, their religious beliefs, and even the full extent of the enemy's military forces in those areas." Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed at Leboeuf and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Trochu! ”

Trochu, who was still thinking about the meaning of the president's words, instantly reacted and got up and said, "Yes! ”

"You will lead a team of people to survey all the terrain, humanities, and even the deployment of troops in the German region in eastern France, and I need detailed information and maps!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Leboeuf.

"Yes!" Trochu replied again.

"Lieutenant Colonel Bazin, you are in charge of the topography and all the information of the Italian region in the south-western part of France, and you can communicate with the War Department on this aspect!" Jérôme. Bonaparte gave the order again.

Trochu was also glad to accept Jérôme. Bonaparte's command.

"Lieutenant Colonel Leboeuf, you are in charge of the news of the Near East, and I must know the number of troops we can mobilize once the war starts, and the supply problems that can be carried in the Near East. If you encounter any difficulties, you can find me as soon as possible! "Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed at Leboeuf and said.

"Yes!" Leboeuf replied again.

Leboeuf already had a vague sense in his heart that the president attached importance to the Near East, and perhaps the previous two regions were nothing more than smoke bombs released by the president.
