Chapter 219: Napoleon is on his way to New York

The Great Food Country, north of Quicksand City, in the middle of a desolate desert by the sea.

Three trenches, barbed wire, machine guns, and artillery positions were simulated by drawing lines.

On the opposite side were four military aircraft, four new "self-propelled armored shield vehicles", and eight transport vehicles.

The soldiers of a division, under the command of Guan Tianpei, carried out tactical simulations according to Zhu Jingyuan's vision.

Zhu Jingyuan stood on an open-top military off-road vehicle, looking at this busy and chaotic rudimentary training ground.

Several grassroots commanders, under Guan Tianpei's shouting, continued to issue orders through the radio system in a somewhat panicked manner.

"Attack Fleet No. 3, attack the enemy's No. 3 artillery position, suppress machine gun fire points......

"Combat convoy No. 2, crossing the barbed wire fence and filling in the trenches."

"The second sentry infantry follows and clears the trenches for the remnants of the enemy......

"After clearing the trenches, repair the machinery and equipment, and resupply them, start raiding enemy transportation supply points—"

"Remember, planes suppress firing points, chariot raids break through defenses, and motorized infantry takes over strongholds."

"Supply convoys keep up! Don't stop everyone! Attack faster than retreat!"

"Pay attention to communication! Keep planes, combat vehicles, mobile units in contact, and keep logistics supplies in touch with the front line!"

Zhu Jingyuan felt that the scene was a little chaotic, but he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad in the depths.

Zhu Jingyuan has little military experience himself, mainly from games and the Internet.

I talked about what I knew, air-ground coordination, infantry and armor coordination, and large-scale outflanking and roundabout ideas.

Then let Guan Tianpei take the grassroots officers to explore and sort out the detailed tactics.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that the Western Front of World War I was very close to the level of technology and soldiers on both sides, and the technology nodes were stuck with both sides not being able to outflank them on a large scale, so it became a positional war.

When air support is combined with armored and mechanized units, the enemy should not have the opportunity to prepare a large-scale barbed wire and trench defense line.

Even if it is an evenly matched opponent, both sides outflank each other, maneuvering in a wide range and pulling each other.

Maybe there will be a tank battle on the plains, maybe there will be a large-scale air confrontation, but that will be to seize the joint node.

There should be no large-scale positional battles.

However, the world war that has just ended is still dominated by trenches and positional warfare.

Therefore, when the officers got the weapons and operational ideas of Zhu Jingyuan's organization, the first thing they had to simulate was to cross the trench position.

Only then did it go to the large-scale maneuver outflanking tactics.

After three consecutive days of testing, when Guan Tianpei and Zhu Jingyuan made a preliminary summary report, they directly sighed:

"The intensive use of aircraft and armoured fighting vehicles, coupled with the motorized infantry carried by the ubiquitous military off-road vehicles, under the coordinated command of the radio, will once again disrupt the mode of warfare.

"Although it has not been verified in actual combat, based on the simple simulation of the past three days, we believe that the traditional positional trench tactics are no longer meaningful, and they will be quickly swept into the garbage heap.

"But this mode of operation, the requirements for logistics, for fuel and ammunition, will be very high.

"Supply lines will be more important than ever, which in turn will make the tactic of taking key points in a roundabout way more effective." ….

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly, this is actually the difference between World War II and World War I.

World War I was a war of attrition in positions, and World War II turned into a large-scale guerrilla war.

The large number of airplanes, armored vehicles, and automobiles has made both sides of the land war completely running.

Aircraft carriers and high-speed battleships also made both sides of the naval battle run.

Of course, whether at sea or on land, the war consumption was much higher than that of the First World War.

If the side that uses the tactics of World War II goes to fight the enemy who still uses the tactics of World War I, it is basically a dimensionality reduction strike.

[To tell the truth, I've been using @

The tactics of World War II, the battlefield will become particularly confusing.

Zhu Jingyuan pondered in his heart for a moment, and then explained his thoughts to Guan Tianpei:

"There is no need to delve too deeply into the trench breakthrough, the trench has lost its meaning in the face of planes and tanks.

"What you will focus on in the future should be how to maneuver and fight in a large area if the situation is quickly controlled.

"And most importantly, how to deal with an enemy who uses the same tactics, how to win.

"Don't just send me your summary, remember to copy a copy of the Governor's Mansion, the Military Department, and the Military Aircraft Department.

"Let the main force also grope in this direction and brainstorm and explore."

Zhu Jingyuan and Guan Tianpei were discussing, and Pan Shien and Niu Jian trotted all the way into the room.

Niu Jian put a telegram in front of Zhu Jingyuan, and at the same time reported with a little gasp:

"Your Highness, there was a coup d'état in New York, the capital of the Kingdom of America, and the Queen, the Regent, the Speaker, and the Prime Minister Joon were placed under house arrest.

"U.S. Foreign Secretary John Adams issued a statement asking Britain to allow the United States to become completely independent.

"Prepare to make Amelia, the youngest daughter of George III, king.

"Amelia has twelve brothers and sisters in front of her, and the English throne will not fall to her in any way.

"Amelia became King of the United States, and it would be impossible for the United States and Great Britain to become a confederation.

"In addition, Napoleon left Buffalo with 30,000 troops, suspected to be heading for New York.

"We suspect that Adams and Napoleon were connected, even in some way cooperative."

After Zhu Jingyuan heard the report, he did not show too surprised reaction.

Instead, he reached out and rubbed his forehead with some sadness and helplessness:

"Did it come anyway, and did Napoleon intervene directly? Is this a direct and big deal?

"What was the reaction of the British and French sides?"

Pan replied:

"It is said that George III of England is ill again, and this time his condition has never been worse.

"The British government did not respond directly to Adams' request for independence, only to demand the immediate release of the royal family.

"France may not have been informed of Napoleon's transfer and is calling on both sides to exercise restraint.

"Again, ask Adams to release the royals first, and then sit down and talk slowly."

Zhu Jingyuan said with emotion:

"The Prince of Wales of England is a piece of rubbish, and his siblings are no better. ….

"How old is Qiao San? This time I got sick and probably wouldn't be able to get better.

"Without a strong king, there will be no end to the fighting in England.

"If the United States cooperates with the North and the South, and then brings French Canada together, maybe it will really be able to become independent for a few years."

When Niu Jian heard this, he continued to ask:

"Your Highness, what should we do? Do you want to support Napoleon in the United States and French Canada, or in favor of Britain and France?"

Zhu Jingyuan thought for a while and said:

"On the surface, of course, it is to maintain world peace, to maintain the pattern of the Western Cape Agreement, and to maintain the authority of the League of Nations.

"So we should ostensibly support Britain in suppressing the rebels in the American colonies.

"However, based on the humanitarian position, we also hope that the two sides can resolve the issue through negotiations.

"Actually...... You don't need to really do anything, just wait and see what happens."

Niu Jian said something other than that:

"Don't we need to support Napoleon and Adams?"

Zhu Jingyuan thought for a while and said:

"There is no need for the time being, Napoleon did not ask us for help directly, which means that the other party is relatively sure.

"We don't have to take the initiative to help, in fact, as long as we don't control him in the first place, we will give him the greatest support.

"The British armament in Yin Chau has been abolished, law

Most of the country was controlled by Napoleon, and the only decisive force left was our Ming Dynasty.

"I suggest that the imperial court continue to increase troops in the surrounding areas of North Yinzhou to ensure the safety of our own immigrants and prevent the turmoil in Yinzhou from affecting our development.

"At the same time, we will observe the situation and wait until the situation becomes clearer, or if the fight is officially started, and then decide what to do.

"If Napoleon really made too much trouble, we might really have to help Britain and France.

"It's about foreign affairs, so theoretically it's up to me, right?

"Forget it, let's write a telegram of a suggestive nature and send it to the cabinet of the Kyoshi and the Honglu Temple."

Niu Jian hurriedly agreed, went to the table next to him to unfold the notebook, and first recorded Zhu Jingyuan's intentions.

Zhu Jingyuan generally repeated and summarized his words, and finally said with emotion:

"This war is so inopportune, why is it so early? I thought Napoleon would hold back for a few years.

"Our weapons and equipment for the new era have just taken shape, and they have just begun to explore new combat plans, and they have already started on their side.

"This war in North Yinzhou is still the way of the old times, so there is not much reference significance......

Guan Tianpei, who usually does not participate in the deliberations, heard Zhu Jingyuan talk about the combat method, and rarely interjected:

"Actually, the battlefield is the best place to train, and we can go directly to the battlefield to train and test new tactics.

"The bandit war in Nanyinzhou is a relatively large-scale national war, and the intensity is obviously lower.

"If the war in Northern Yinzhou really starts, it can also be regarded as an opportunity for military training.

"We can validate our new weapons and tactics through both sides of the war."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head and reminded:

"Don't let Napoleon help us test our tactics, our planes and tanks must not be sold to French Canada! ….

"Napoleon was a military genius, and if these things were handed over to him, they would surely have endless consequences.

"It's good to practice when you go to Southern Yinzhou to suppress bandits, and Northern Yinzhou will wait and see what happens for the time being."

Zhu Jingyuan set the tone, and the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards the situation in Northern Yinzhou was basically determined.

And the development of the situation in North Yinzhou is becoming more and more unexpected by everyone.

Soon after, Napoleon really entered New York with French soldiers and took control of the situation in the New York area.

Napoleon, as a French general, left the country with his troops on his own, an act that bordered on a rebellion.

Members of the Kingdom and the French royal family, as well as the Prime Minister and the ministers of the court, were all stunned when they received the news.

The King and Prime Minister of France immediately issued an order for Napoleon to return to French Canada immediately.

At the same time, generals were immediately transferred on the mainland, and new troops were remobilized to prepare to be sent to Northern Yinzhou to control the situation.

After the end of the war, the Ming Dynasty basically did not reduce the size of its troops.

Because the Ming Dynasty won a great victory in the negotiations, there were too many places that needed to be occupied by garrisons.

Even if the original soldiers were discharged, most of them were directly converted to the militia, taking immigrants with them to control the new land.

The transport ships used in the war also continued to operate to transport immigrants and troops, and even new ships continued to be added.

A large number of troops and flotillas continued to be mobilized for the war, going directly to the places where they were going according to orders.

But the Tessie side was different, and in the process of the end of the world war, the size of the troops was reduced.

A large number of soldiers were disarmed and returned to the field after retreating from the front line.

Although there are many veterans left behind by these wars, the combat effectiveness will not be weak when mobilized again.

But mobilization takes time, even if it has been demobilized for less than a year.

It is a standing army that is normally retained, and if it wants to go to Beiyin Zhou from the Taixi continent in a formation, the necessary supplies and ships will have to be prepared for two or three months.

Remobilization

The time of redistribution, reorganization, restorative training, adds up

And in these few months, as long as the Northern Yinzhou troops of the Ming Dynasty did not intervene, the troops in the state of war controlled by Napoleon were almost unstoppable.

Napoleon, having already made his decision, directly ignored the orders of the king and the prime minister and did not retreat at all as requested.

Instead, with the cooperation of John Adams, he commanded the troops to attack and take over the surrounding northern cities.

Including the regions of Canada, the western part of Canada that was not controlled by Napoleon, and the northern part of the United States.

Napoleon was to take full control of the northern part of the Anglo-French colony before the arrival of the intervention and repressive forces on the mainland of Ctessy.
