When Hernan Noy is not embarrassed, it is Ramosirier who is embarrassed.

Ramosirier is clearly trying to stall for time, and Hernan Noy is not in a hurry. Although he is aggressive on the surface, he doesn't really say it to death.

In fact, this was requested by Franz, and the so-called German coalition was completely a temporary patchwork of armies from various states, and although there was a National Assembly, there was no substantial progress in organization compared with that of the Luxembourg crisis.

While the Austrian army was already within five kilometers of the enemy, some of the state armies had not even been assembled.

It was not that the Austrian army could not defeat the French without the support of the armies of the other states, but on the contrary, Albrecht believed that he could command the army better without the constraints of the armies of the other states.

Franz, however, was thinking about the aftermath of the victory, as soon as the coalition forces broke through Saarburg, the flat Lorraine plateau ahead.

In the eyes of the Lorraine, who had long ruled by the Bourbons, the Second French Republic was undoubtedly an invader, but the so-called German coalition was not much better.

In order not to aggravate this impression as much as possible, Franz needed the troops and officials of the Orleans dynasty to accompany him.

The armies of the Austrian Empire, under the leadership of Albrecht, and with adequate salaries, did not do anything too out of the ordinary.

However, the armies of other states cannot guarantee it, and "fighting a war is to rob and hold it" is not a nonsense at this time, but the creed of many armies.

At this time, the German coalition was under the banner of nationalism, and if that group of people were allowed to do those inconsistencies, then the war itself would become a joke, and it would be even more likely to backfire.

Historically, the Alsace-Lorraine region has been an important source of French soldiers and has produced elite soldiers.

During the Napoleonic period, for example, three of France's 24 marshals came from the Alsace-Lorraine region, two from Alsace and one from Lorraine.

At that time, the total population of Alsace-Lorraine was only 2% of France, and one-eighth of the marshals of France were from this region.

The Rhine Corps, made up of the Alsace-Lorraine frontier people, remained the benchmark for the French army until the Franco-Prussian War, when it gradually gave way to the Foreign Legion.

The March of the Rhine even became the French national anthem for a time. The "March of the Rhine Legion", the famous "Marseillaise", has been mentioned above, so I will not repeat it here.

In addition, for Albrecht, Saarburg was undoubtedly a very good testing ground, and the French army in it was an excellent test subject.

Austria had a large number of new weapons at this time, and in theory these things would change the battlefield and even change history.

However, it is not known how effective these new weapons will be, and the poor performance of the Italian coalition forces on the Italian battlefield has left them with no chance to play at all.

On the other hand, although Saarburg was almost in ruins at this time, Ramosillier didn't care, because as long as Saarburg was not completely blown to the ground, then he had the advantage.

In fact, the status of the bastion was declining even before the French Revolution, and then there were offensive figures such as Napoleon.

Therefore, at this time, there were not many battles against the fortress, and there were few tactical innovations about it.

However, Saarburg is an exception, because it is impossible to get around.

After Hernán Noy left, Ramosillier's remaining staff officers (who at this time were more like staff or adjutants) were even advised to get out of Saarburg and fight Albrecht in the plains.

However, Ramosirier didn't want to go out to fight, let alone care about the bullshit honor, in fact, as long as he held Salburg, it would be a great achievement, and he had already recovered Lorraine for the French Second Republic.

As for Alsace, that's a matter for Bono de Coullen and the Academy.

I desperately wanted to take Strasbourg because it was possible to finish the battle in one battle, but at this time the German coalition army had arrived, so it was better to have a thousand birds in the forest.

As long as Ramosirier defends Salburg, it will definitely be the Austrians who can't bear it first.

The first was Henri Arsène's success in Belgium, which took less than two weeks to conquer Brussels, just as the Northern Army was launching an all-out assault on the German Confederation.

At this time, it is time for Emmenable Pellisier in Switzerland to start his performance.

Lieutenant General Amenabour-Pellisier, also known as the Iron Maniac, is said to have accidentally fallen into the water during a rapid march.

Amenabour-Pellisier did not go into the water to save people like the famous generals in history, but executed two soldiers who had gone into the water without permission and those who were rescued.

The reason was unauthorized action and hindering the speed of the march.

Because of this, he was called a madman, and yet all the officers envied the execution and discipline of his subordinates.

Ramosilier believed that with the presence of an iron madman, Switzerland's fragile states would be turned upside down.

In addition, the combined fleet of Britain and France completely blocked the sea routes of the Austrians, and when the time came, the Austrians, who were deprived of supplies and troubled internally and externally, would surely collapse first.

And once the so-called German coalition lost Austria as the backbone, then the so-called coalition army ceased to exist.

As for Belvey, in Ramosirier's mind, he was a fool.

An idiot who recruited a group of student soldiers from Saint-Cyr to replicate Napoleon's successes is simply pipe dreaming.

Alsace, twenty kilometers outside the city of Celesta.

Although Franz had long heard that the Celesta people were doing a great job, he didn't expect it to be so desperate.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless scorched earth, and the ashes on the ground tell of everything that has happened here and will happen here.

The first time you see such a stunning view, anyone will be shocked.

What kind of courage can create such a scene, as far as the eye can see, there is only a gray and black field, although the ashes have long since lost their temperature, but everyone feels that their feet are hot, like magma rolling.

The locals of Alsace have given so much for this war, and now it's time for them to come out.

The propaganda machine in Austria is no longer promoted, the priests of the Church are propagated, and the nationalists are not as ostentatious as they are to see it with their own eyes and feel it with their own eyes.

Everyone felt their blood boiling, not for the promotion of officials and fortunes, not for the promotion of officials, not for the sake of being crowned with a wife, but only for the illusory righteousness of the German nation.

Of course, if you can be promoted and make a fortune by the way, you can be added to the rank of knight, and you can be crowned a wife and son, then why not?

June 28, 1848. The Battle of Celesta officially began.
