Holy Roman Empire

800 The French Counterattack Plan

The news of the defeat of the Egyptian army in the European continent immediately caused an uproar.Many people's first reaction after getting a newspaper is-is it April Fool's Day today?

The original time and space Italy defeated in Africa was laughed at by the European world for hundreds of years, and now the French also enjoy the same treatment.

Because the hatred value is too high, the firepower attracted by the French is more dense than that of Italy in the original time and space.

As the official media of the Austrian government, the Vienna Daily published the news of the defeat of the French army with a very exaggerated title-France, where the empire fell.

This is a series of reports that can be traced back to the Roman Empire, but all the countries with great influence in European history are on the list.

In order to enhance the credibility, even the Habsburg dynasty is on the list, and there is also a powerful name-the empire will not fall on the first day.

Naturally, his own history cannot be sloppy.To a certain extent, artistic processing is inevitable. To sum it up: the French are too mean and colluding with pagans.

This is also France's largest black history, and it cannot be washed away.

As a Catholic country, it ’s okay to join the Protestant Alliance with a cheeky face. After all, everyone believes in God and can barely accept it.

But hooking up with European public enemy Ottoman would be intolerable.The final result is naturally: the Habsburg dynasty has fallen.

The Frenchman, as a winner, did not take a long time to be isolated on the European continent.

Catholic countries regarded them as traitors, and Protestant countries were reluctant to accept their "heretics" until the religion did not fall behind, and this situation gradually improved.

If this is old hatred, then the new hatred is an anti-French war.

Napoleon the Great took the European countries as a stepping stone, and created his supreme prestige. As his descendants, he will inherit these hatreds.

Especially after Napoleon III annexed the Italian region, the hatred value broke the table again, and then fell into isolation.

This is not the worst. At least Napoleon III also signed a covenant with Britain and Austria.

Although it is not very reliable, and there is no military alliance obligation on the European continent, no less reliable allies are stronger than none.

At Napoleon IV, the situation changed.After the expiration of the alliance of the three countries, the contract is not renewed, and without the constraints of the alliance, the British and Austrian parties are also welcome to engage in things.

What happened in Egypt is one of the actual cases. Without the support of Britain and Austria, it is estimated that the rebels have long since finished. Where is the ambition to liberate Egypt?

It is important to know that the rebel program of the Uprising was handled by the skilled British.The defeat of Aswan this time was also caused by John Bull.

The mafia under Austria is in the making, and it hasn't broken out yet.

...

No matter how fair the media is, there is a tendency.His own black history has been published, and France, which is the background board, naturally becomes anthracite.

Of course, this is an empire series made after the resurgence of the Habsburg dynasty.Otherwise, Franz has no confidence to face this period of history.

In this context, France, where the empire fell, would naturally not be a good word.The French Army ranks first in the world, and bluntly speaking is only a subjective judgment.

In addition to the French military's excellent military literacy, more psychological factors.

In order to eliminate the fear of the French in their own army, the combat power of the Black French Army is also politically correct in continental Europe.

The small setbacks of Annan in the front are nothing. After all, the French have suffered few casualties.At most, they were ridiculed by European media, and after the treaty was signed, everyone shut up tacitly.

This battle in Egypt is different. Forty thousand French troops have not even won the African aborigines.

There is no problem, rounding up, colonial forces are also the main force of the army.

The European people knew that the French had defeated in Egypt. The details were not important at all.

First, the financial turmoil, the economic crisis, and the Great Depression, and through the Paris Revolution, the domestic economy was messed up.

After a short breath, there was a big defeat in Egypt, and Franz was almost convinced that France had fallen.

Different from the past, Austria now no longer needs France to be in front, attracting the attention of the British.

Singing down France is the next important policy of the Vienna government.

It is not necessary for all Europeans to believe, as long as the Germans and Italians believe this.

It is not just Austria that is adding to the French government. Almost all European countries are fueling the situation, but it is mainly mocking.

Looking at the jokes of the French, this is also a show that Europeans like to hear.As the mastermind of the Aswan Wars, Lieutenant General Jarrett became famous all over the world.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the French newspaper's famous name for Lieutenant General Jerette.

It is not the French who are willing to propagate for the enemy, mainly because they are forced to help.Losing to the British is always more acceptable than losing to African indigenous peoples.

Not only the news that the British supported the rebels was revealed, even Austria did not hide, and the Vienna government also received a protest letter from the French government.

The famous writer Victor Hugo also wrote an article to expose the shameless behavior of Britain and Austria-"The Conspiracy of the Two Empires against France".

...

In Paris, angry French citizens have taken to the streets to protest against the government.As the governor of Egypt, Adolf has now become synonymous with idiot and waste.

Faced with the anger of the people, Napoleon IV also had a headache.No matter how the government explained it, the protesters refused to disperse.

Even if the British and Austrian countries were pulled out, the French people stubbornly believed that the government made mistakes in hiring. Many people are questioning the French government's talent selection system.

As the party concerned, Adolf, the eight generations of the ancestors were pulled out, and finally concluded that noble relationship household = incompetent waste.

If it were n’t enough, Napoleon IV wanted to capture Adolf to calm down the anger of the people.

Of course, think about this kind of thing.Everything must be ruled, and the emperor must not act arbitrarily.

Even if the battle is defeated, Adolf is to be held accountable, and that is to go to the military court first.

The public protest was only in pediatrics, and I saw it much more anyway, and Napoleon IV was used to it.

Not long ago, Annan's defeat also happened. After the treaty was passed back, all problems were solved.

The pressing task now is to suppress the rebellion.As long as the rebels are annihilated, this matter will soon fade away.

Napoleon IV asked: "You all know the situation in the country, when will the Army Department send troops?"

Army Secretary Luskinia Hafez replied: "Your Majesty, there is too much preparation work for the expedition of the Master, and it will take a week at the earliest.

And after arriving in Egypt, it will take at least a week to rest before the troops can enter the battlefield.

Increasing the time to march forward and launching an attack on the rebels is at least a month later."

In a sense, the urging of Napoleon IV was also one of the reasons for Adolf's defeat.If the emperor did not rush, he would not fight against the rebels in a hurry.

Only this kind of thing cannot be the responsibility of the emperor, so Adolf can only admit that he is unlucky.

With a lesson in mind, Luskinia Hafez is much more cautious.This time it was selected by the Ministry of the Army. If there was another defeat, he would also be blamed.

Napoleon IV frowned: "The situation in Egypt is at stake and the pressure of public opinion in China is so great, can't the War Department hurry up?"

Army Secretary Ruskinia Hafez: "Your Majesty, this is already the fastest speed. Reinforcement in Egypt requires marching at sea. We must first screen out the seasick soldiers.

After arriving at the place, we still have to consider the problem of dissatisfaction.Generally speaking, such cross-sea operations usually have half a year or even longer preparation time."

This is not nonsense. If the troops are sent blindly, even if the Mediterranean is calm, the non-combat downsizing will be very touching.

Especially after arriving at the place, without the necessary rest, they will be put into combat, and the troops with even more powerful combat power will also become soft-footed shrimp.

In the face of the army minister who refused to enter, Napoleon IV stopped talking.Anyway, he also graduated from a military school. How could he not know this basic common sense?

It's just that the pressure inside and outside is too great, and I panicked for a while.There is a hint of unrealistic illusion about rapid chaos.

After a sigh, Napoleon IV waved his hand and said, "Yes, just follow your plan.

However, we must seize the time and quell the rebellion as soon as possible to reduce our losses."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Luskinia Hafez replied

Staring at the map on the wall and looking at the half-effort, it seemed that I thought of something.

Suddenly, Napoleon IV snapped the table and said fiercely: "Britain and Austria have caused us trouble one after another, and now we have to fight back."

As soon as the word "counterattack" appeared, everyone fell into confusion.

The French government has long wanted to fight back against the successive moves of Britain and Austria, but they do not know where to start.

Counterattack the financial systems of Britain and Austria?

Just think about it. The British and Austrian countries do not lack gold reserves. The British pound and the Aegis are as stable as Tarzan.

Support the revolutionary party and national separatist forces?

The Paris government is already doing it, but the ending is very moving.Except for the few waves that the Irish independent organization tossed out, other organizations saw nothing but investment.

There is even a fraudulent organization pretending to be an independent organization in Hungary, which defrauded the French government of a huge sum of 5 million francs.

Return blood to blood and engage in things in the other colony?

The French government has been doing it, with little success.The British managed to surrender, and the rebellion was first and foremost a local killing.

Although Austria is under the direct control of the central government, its control over the colony is obviously too strong.

Especially the Austrian neighboring Africa, who wants to plan a colonial rebellion, does not know who to look for.

The local power faction exists, but everyone has become an Austrian nobility. As a vested interest, there is no reason to create their own counter-attacks.

None of these strategies will work, and we can't plug the two countries diplomatically?

The French government still has self-knowledge. It is not their diplomatic ability. It is mainly because France ’s hatred value on the European continent is too high and it is rejected by European countries.

Diplomatic games with Britain and Austria are completely disgraceful.It is better to send troops directly to the door, the success rate may be higher.

Studying and studying, the French government finally came to a conclusion in frustration: To retaliate between Britain and Austria, we must have the time, the geographical position, the harmony of the people, and there is no future for the silly upward rush.

Foreign Secretary Terence Burgin persuaded: "Your Majesty, the British and Austrian countries are embarrassed to commit adultery, and brash action may cause greater disturbances. We must act with caution."

"Embarrassment is a rape" must be false. Except for the last joint short franc, the British and Austrian really did not jointly target France.

However, there is no need to delve into these facts. The French government also needs to be face-saving. If they do not exaggerate the enemy's strength, it seems that they are too incompetent.

On the surface, anyway, both Britain and Austria are supporting the Egyptian rebels, and it is not too exaggerated to say that the two countries are joining forces to suppress France.
