"Your Majesty, please look!"

Sit in Jérôme. Brigadier General Leboeuf, opposite Bonaparte, spread out the map on his table, and there were four maps of the Danube region (Romania), Bulgaria, and the vicinity of Constantinople and the Crimea region (Sevastopol).

Each map is in accordance with Jérôme. Bonaparte's request was completed at a scale of 1:80,000, making it arguably the most detailed and time-sensitive military map in the world today.

[PS: The military maps of the Russian Empire and Britain are roughly around 1:320,000, and the maps are probably drawn during the Napoleonic Wars. 】

On these military maps, the height of each mountain and the width of the river are accurately marked with numbers, which can be called quite perfect.

"You're doing a great job!" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at each one carefully and nodded in satisfaction.

From a certain point of view, the bureaucratic class in the world is a virtue, and as long as the superior does not give a death order, the lower bureaucracy will only complete the order with a discount.

Only after giving them a death order will this group of bureaucrats try their best to complete the task.

The bureaucratic class, driven to the brink of extinction, is capable of exploding several times more efficient than before. Of course, in some areas of creation, the bureaucracy should not be expected to collide with the spark of thinking, because the vast majority of the bureaucratic class will only turn 1 into 2 and will not turn 0 into 1.

"That's what we're supposed to do!" Leboeuf humbly responded.

"With these maps, France will be invincible in the next war in the Near East!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed to a map of Romania and said to Leboeuf.

Next, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Leboeuf made a simple deduction about what form the Russian Empire might take in the Near East.

After combining the four maps, Leboeuf pointed out that it was quite possible that the Russian Empire would launch an attack on Bulgaria from Bessarabia (currently the territory of the Russian Empire) after the capture of the two Danube principalities.

At that time, the Austrian Empire would inevitably send troops at the same time.

"According to the estimates of the Secretariat Office, the combined army of the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire will be around 50-600,000 men." Leboeuf spoke in a serious tone to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Why do you think the Austrian Empire will join us in the war?" Jérôme. Bonaparte did not refute Leboeuf's hypothesis, he asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, there is no way for the Secretariat to speculate on the diplomatic problem, but we must prepare for the worst! War is changing rapidly, and we have to think of all the strategies to deal with it. "Leboeuf was frank with Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, and Leboeuf's calm attitude made him aware that the "often defeated" general in front of him was making rapid progress.

Now he may be even more brilliant than in history!

Jérôme. Bonaparte thought to himself.

A person's ability to lead an army into battle is never fixed and depends on the decisions of the ruler.

Why are Liu Bang's talents all born in Pei County? Why are most of Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates Fengyang?

Or why did Napoleon's men gather the stars?

The reason is that the ruler himself is also a man of some great military achievements, otherwise most of them are just ordinary people.

The same people in Jérôme. Bonaparte's hand with Louis. Napoleon's hands would have presented a different result, as Jérôme. Bonaparte had a vision beyond the centuries of this era, at a time when all military personnel were groping for the path of future military warfare and trying to get out of the shackles of Napoleonic wars.

[PS: After the Napoleonic Wars, European countries have been limited to the Napoleonic Wars period. Even when the Civil War had already seen the dawn of a general war, everyone, including Moltke, believed that the Civil War was nothing more than "two armed mobs chasing each other at home, with nothing to be desired." ”】

Jérôme. Bonaparte had seen the direction of history, and he understood the military changes of the next few decades, and he stood on the shoulders of everyone and looked down on the world.

The vision of the monarch also determines the vision of the general, which cannot keep up with Jérôme. Bonaparte's footsteps were destined to be eliminated.

Leboeuf was the one who struggled to catch up with Jérôme. Bonaparte footsteps, otherwise he would have been taken by Jérôme. Bonaparte was ruthlessly left behind.

Valley/span "You go ahead!" "Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and placed his hands flat on the table, making a deaf gesture.

In Leboeuf's scenario, the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire would unite and advance into Bulgaria at great speed, and even Serbia and other Balkan regions would also be attacked by the Austrian Empire.

If the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire reacted quickly enough, they would be able to sweep through the Balkans and Bulgaria, and Greece, as a neutral country, would inevitably be coerced into declaring war by these two countries.

"Once a war is waged, France must be fast! We must transport our troops over at breakneck speed and defeat the invading enemy forces! In this way we would be able to deter Austria by war, so that they would not dare to join the war at will. "General Leboeuf put forward the idea of a quick victory.

"The Austrian Empire will be intervened by the Foreign Office, and they will not join in this fight! I'm interested in Germany. Chancellor Ruiz has confidence! "Jérôme. Bonaparte then asked Leboeuf: "In which port are you going to register?" Gallipoli? ”

"No!" Leboeuf shook his head at Jérôme. Bonaparte replied: "The Secretariat has inquired about the situation of the port of Gallipoli, the military attache stationed in Constantinople, and the surrounding environment, that area is too small for the development of the large army!" That's why we decided to log in in the Varna area! The port here allows the French army to get strategic supplies faster! ”

With that, Leboeuf pointed to the port of Varna in the Bulgarian region.

Jérôme. Bonaparte saw that the flat terrain of the area from Varna to Aksakovo on the map was ideal for stationing large armies, and to the north it was possible to attack the Danube principalities to cut off supplies to the Russian Empire, and to the east to the sea could transport troops to the Sevastopol fortress and then launch an attack on the Sevastopol fortress.

As long as the Sevastopol fortress was knocked out, the fleet of the Russian Empire in the Black Sea region would be completely destroyed. Due to the distance between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. Both the attack from the Caucasus and the Danube principalities would face supply difficulties, which would require relying on the naval support of the Sevastopol fortress to transport supplies, and once Sevastopol was taken, the Russian army deep into the Ottoman Empire would be in danger of collapsing due to supply problems.

Of course, this is also based on Jérôme. Bonaparte's strategy of defeat (of the Russian Empire) rather than outright defeat.

Unless Britain and France attack the Baltic and Black Seas at the same time, and then the Kingdom of Sweden attacks Finland, the Russian Empire will be able to face a complete collapse of order.

Even so, there is a high probability that the Anglo-French forces will retreat on their own initiative.

The Russian Empire's infrastructure was so poor that it would be hellish of logistical resupply.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also understood that creatures like Maozi would only get bogged down in a quagmire by external forces alone, and that they would only disintegrate internally.

The spiritual party of the Decembrists of the Russian Empire was not yet completely dead.

"However, this requires the favorable cooperation of the Navy Department!" Jérôme. Bonaparte went on to Leboeuf.

"We believe that the Empire's navy will be able to complete the mission!" Although Leboeuf had not met Dico, he had heard of the vigorous style of Dico, the admiral, and that Jérôme. Bonaparte's care for the Navy. Since Jérôme. After Bonaparte came to power, the navy's shipbuilding expenses increased year by year.

If the Admiralty was not even capable of crushing the Russian Imperial Black Sea Fleet, then Leboeuf had reason to doubt the need for the existence of the Imperial Navy.

"I have also discussed this with Minister Dico! He told me that the existing naval fleet is quite capable of destroying all the fleets of the Russian Empire in the Black Sea! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Leboeuf with a smile, and then added: "However, the Secretariat of the Admiralty and the Secretariat of the War must cooperate with each other!" ”

"Admiralty Secretariat?" Leboeuf seems to have heard a terrible term.

"That's right! The Admiralty has also been modeled after the War Department, which has been established to manage the regional fleets vertically! "Jérôme. Bonaparte spread his hands and complained slightly: "Chancellor Dick has always been good at learning, unlike some people who are complacent once they have achieved a stage victory. ”

Leboeuf did not dare to respond to Jérôme. Bonaparte, of course he understood Jérôme. The object of Bonaparte's complaint was none other than the Minister of War, Saint. Arnault.

As an adjutant, Leboeuf didn't want to mix it up.

"Go ahead!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled apologetically, and he found himself unconsciously diverting the subject again.

Subsequently, Leboeuf proposed two plans, the first was to bite the cake and go north into the interior to completely crush the Russian Empire, and the second plan was to attack the Sevastopol region with the main force, and then sweep the Slavs in the Balkans.

"Who came up with these two proposals?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Leboeuf.

"The first plan was proposed by Colonel Bazin, and the second by Colonel Trochu! Both options are very insightful! "There is a way that people carry people in a sedan chair, and Leboeuf also appropriately praised his colleagues.
