Chapter 91: Reinforcements
I saw a team slowly appearing on the flank hill, and they were flying the tricolor flag of the German Confederation (Empire).
"Break through the darkness of slaves (black), experience bloody slaughter (red), and win the dawn of freedom (gold)."
This is the meaning of the tricolor, but it is usually said to symbolize "freedom", "equality", "fraternity", and the Revolution.
After returning to the German Confederation, Luxembourg deliberately painted a lion symbolizing the Kingdom of the Netherlands on its national flag in order to show that it did not want to take everyone's life.
Without further ado, a third party suddenly appeared on the battlefield, which surprised and angered Oudino at the same time.
Needless to say, the overall situation has been decided, and suddenly a Cheng bite the gold, can you not be surprised?
The anger was due to the sudden appearance of such a large army on the battlefield, and not a single scout had come to report the news before.
In fact, this is not really to blame the reconnaissance troops, but it had just rained heavily before, and not long after the rain stopped, Oudino led the army to a decisive battle with a roar, and they were also helpless.
On the other hand, the Belgians were very demoralized, not because they knew that German reinforcements were coming, but because the flag of the German Confederation (Empire) was too similar to the Belgian flag.
The Belgians knew at a glance that it was their own people who came, and they didn't care who it was.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"Reinforcements are coming!" (Belgian French dialect.) )
Normally, the reinforcement of enemy soldiers can only affect the generals first, and the soldiers will see changes in the faces and emotions of the officers.
Because the soldiers are in the center of the battlefield, they don't have a full view of the battlefield. Only those officers have the means to know about the changes on the battlefield.
However, this is not the case, the French can understand the Belgian dialect perfectly.
As a result, the French army, which was originally imposing, suddenly fell into chaos, while the Belgians became more and more courageous.
Seeing that the battle situation is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to his side, Oudino's adjutant can no longer stand the old Deng in front of him.
At this time, he had already decided from the bottom of his heart that the era of Grouchi and Oudino had passed.
"Blow the trumpet! Let the flanking cavalry go out! Stop at nothing to get reinforcements! ”
"Idiot! What are you doing! ”
Oudino immediately roared, but immediately stopped, for the reformed lieutenant had drawn his gun and put it at Oudior's forehead.
At this moment, the rear of the French army exploded.
Although Oudino is old, he is not without prestige in the army. On the other side, the adjutant from the reform faction came even more prepared, and the two sides were tense for a while.
The soldiers all turned their guns on their own people, and a civil war seemed inevitable
"What do you want?"
"What do I think? I'm going to save France! I'm going to save this crisis! France is all because of you old antiques to get to where it is today!
The Provisional Government should have guillotined Louis Philippe and you bastards, as Robert Peel did!
Now here's where I have the final say! If you don't want to die, shut up! ”
Oudino looked into the eyes of the young adjutant, he finally looked away, he was no longer the brave and fearless Oudior, he felt that it was also a good choice to retire in England
"I'm tired. I'm going back to Paris to recuperate, and I'll leave it to you. Major Compaoré! ”
Oudino deliberately accentuated the other party's rank, because this adjutant was only a major before, but now he sat in the position of general, and even threatened Oudino as a marshal.
This was undoubtedly an insult to Major Compaoré, but the latter did not want to deal with the old fellow of the former at this time, after all, if there was indeed infighting, it would definitely be a lose-lose outcome
As a member of the Reformation, he knew better than anyone that the Provisional Government of France was more fragile than ever.
In fact, in the near future, the French Provisional Government will announce a major event, that is, the establishment of the Second French Republic, and they have decided to completely abandon the monarchy.
It was no secret that they had intended to do so after the expulsion of the Duke of Paris, the grandson of Louis Philippe.
However, due to Franz's butterfly effect, there were quite a few people in the Provisional Government who were hostile to Austria.
Historically, the establishment of the Second French Republic was actually inseparable from a foreign policy based on peace, and the previous rash declaration of war on Austria led to a great deterioration in its international environment.
Had it not been for the sudden victory in the Mediterranean naval battle, perhaps the Provisional Government would have been dead by this time.
At this time, the imminent movement of the French Provisional Government is naturally inseparable from our world's number one-stirring stick.
At the same time as the decision was made to continue the war against the Austrian Empire, Viscount Stratford was sent to Paris.
It was impossible for the British to send their own troops to fight a land war with Austria, and Nicholas I of Russia was still dreaming of a parallel East and West Rome.
As for Prussia, which was at this time difficult to protect itself, and had considerable differences with Britain on the Schleswig question, then France was the only option for Britain at this time.
It has to be said that the intelligence of the British at this time was excellent, and they knew very well what the French needed at this time.
The Viscount of Stratford happened to be adept at exchanging the least price for the greatest benefit, and Britain promised to support France and recognize the legitimacy of the French Second Republic.
The French were captured with just two blank checks, and Franz was not unaware of the news.
But it was very inappropriate for Austria, as an empire, to run to recognize the Second French Republic.
Britain, which is a secular and constitutional monarchy, is completely unfettered from this, and the French will give them as many empty checks as the British want.
Back on the battlefield, it was certainly not the German Confederation troops who came to the rescue of Brussels, after all, the quarrel in the Frankfurt National Assembly had not yet reached a conclusion.
In fact, even if there were results, the National Assembly at this time would have no troops to send. In fact, the National Assembly did not have its own real army, and they had to coordinate with the states.
The reason why Prussia went to attack Denmark was entirely the result of many compromises, not that they really had the energy to order a big country like Prussia.
The only countries in the entire German Confederation could confront the French were Austria and Prussia, the latter mired in Schleswig, while the former was busy fighting the civil war.
And who were the reinforcements under the banner of the German Confederation at this time?
The answer is Luxembourg.
The small country once again jumped into the center of the storm, and for historical reasons, the Luxembourgers at this time were extremely fanatical about nationalism.
However, they still have internal disagreements about helping Belgium, after all, they fought the Belgians in the Luxembourg crisis that year.
Now the Belgians want to join the German Confederation to help their former enemies, who are emotionally uncomfortable.
However, under the wave of fanatical nationalism, there are still some people who are pure or ignorant and resolutely choose to die.
