Saarburg.

The morale of the French soldiers was extremely low, after all, no one could be excited by being bombarded all day long. The most terrible thing is that this one-sided situation has been going on for more than ten days, and the top brass of the army seems to have no choice.

Of course, this refers mainly to the new recruits who came in from later, and the French troops who had participated in the frontal battles of the German coalition would not have this idea.

This is also the reason why the top of the French army has been silent, and after several attacks, the frontal battle that was thought to be a shameful result ushered in the biggest rout to date.

Ramosirier was at first as stunned as his men, but after reviewing and observing over the past few days, he finally realized that this coalition was not the main force of the German coalition or that their main force had not yet arrived.

The previous repeated persuasion was more like a delay in time, except that the first two days of shelling were not very frequent, and often at night.

Ramosilier was not a memoir, and he knew very well that the general who had used the motley forces of the German coalition in the first day of the battle could not be mediocre.

After that heavy defeat, Ramosirier began to take his opponent seriously, and Austria's Archduke Albrecht was undoubtedly a worthy opponent.

His resume, military exploits, and even his background are impeccable, and there are many factions within the German coalition, which can only be controlled by those who come from the Habsburg royal family.

This is also the reason why the commanders of the three German coalition forces at this time are all from the Habsburg family, and the biggest problem of the multinational coalition is that it is difficult to unify command and dispatch, and it is easy to have a situation in which no one is subordinate to the other.

It's not a joke that friendly forces are in trouble and don't move like a mountain.

Although everyone is a German coalition, and although everyone speaks German, it is normal for them to be unable to communicate, or even refuse to communicate, due to many factors such as factions, national interests, and political goals.

At this time, an absolutely powerful organization or individual is needed to break this chaos, otherwise a plate of scattered sand can only achieve the prestige of the enemy.

After the Congress of Vienna, there had been no major war in Europe for decades, so there was not a single strongman in the German Confederation who could convince everyone.

That can only be compared to blood and national power, and Austria and the Habsburgs are undoubtedly synonymous with the most powerful and noble in Germany.

As for why the civilian leaders who emerged in 1848 were not allowed to take command, first of all, it is clear that Franz was the heir to the Austrian Empire, and according to the theory that the butt decided the head, he could not have allowed this to happen.

Second, these so-called leaders are not capable of suppressing the nobility of the countries in the Confederacy, on the contrary, they will be resisted by the nobility of the states and the old forces.

These people can't even suppress their internal factional struggles, and many of their positions are the product of multiple compromises.

Expecting them to unify the pace and ideas of the coalition forces is tantamount to a dream.

In the end, these people did not have the basic ability to command and command, and Franz looked at the resumes of these people, and the highest military rank was a colonel who was meritorious for his title.

The command ability of these people can be seen from the previous infighting in the National Assembly, and to sum up, it is okay to let them command 1,800 people to fight, and it is not a joke to let them command thousands of troops and horses.

Having Austrian royalty in command didn't care about such bullshit at all, and it just so happened that Archduke Karl, Albrecht, and Franz were all very good commanders.

At this time in history, Archduke Karl was dead, but due to the appearance of Franz to change the original history, then the most prestigious commander in the entire Austrian Empire, and even in the entire German region, was Archduke Karl, and no one would have any objection to letting him serve as the commander all the way.

Albrecht should be regarded as the last general of the Austrian Empire, and he has not yet emerged at this time in history.

But in this life, he has proven himself in many battles, and coupled with his own excellent talent, there are few people in the coalition who are not convinced.

As for Franz, he doesn't need to prove anything, he can suppress the vast majority of people just by relying on his identity, status, and the praise of various forces.

Whether it is the natural saints created by the Church, the benevolent saints boasted by the Habsburgs, or the legitimacy and legitimacy emphasized by the imperial government, ordinary people can be frightened.

As for the aristocrats, they understand the power behind these words better, and the survival wisdom accumulated over thousands of years has made them instinctively choose to side with Franz (except for those in their own country).

The capitalists are better solved, after all, whoever has more money is Augustus.

The remaining nationalists also had to take into account Franz's false title as Emperor of the German Empire, and if they really wanted to unify Germany, they had to count on Franz.

Return to Saarburg.

Ramosilier could not understand Albrecht's intentions, which gave him a sense of unease.

The speed with which Bellevue progressed on the Italian battlefield was something he did not expect, but compared to the bad news of the mutiny of the Great Eastern Fleet and the total annihilation of the British Mediterranean Fleet, there seemed to be no surprise.

In fact, a tentative attack should be made at this time, but now that the morale of the French army has fallen to the bottom, I am afraid that no one wants to send them to death.

Ramosirier can only hope that his allies on the other side will open up the situation as soon as possible, so that he can retire successfully.

In fact, the Parisian side was not satisfied with his exploits in Lorraine, and strongly urged him to continue the offensive and strive to enter Vienna as soon as possible.

It's true that Bellevue is an idiot, but at least he doesn't have such outrageous expectations.

Before the war, the commanders of the French army may have had this idea, but the war is still a pig, and it should be clear that Austria and the German coalition are not soft persimmons.

"What are the old men in the council doing? The delay in the delivery of troops and supplies forced us to send troops to a decisive battle with the German coalition."

One of the staff officers complained, which immediately resonated with the staff officers.

"Yes! The supplies from the country have not arrived, and we can only rely on looting and borrowing to get something from Lorraine to survive."

Another staff officer continued.

"It's only been a few weeks, and the Lorraine region is a bit overwhelmed."

"Well, it can't be helped. Whoever makes this year's year bad will have no money in any province."

"The Germans don't have to fight us for a few more months, and we'll starve to death."

....

The entire command was full of lamentations and complaints, which made Ramosirier very unhappy to hear, but helplessly his old subordinates were killed and injured by the sneak attack before, and these people were all alternates who came in all day except complaining.

Just as Ramosillier was thinking about how to change the atmosphere, a bloodied herald stood at the door of the headquarters.

"200,000 German troops are pressing, and Celesta is lost! General Bono de Coullen has retreated to Colmar and is in dire need of help..."
