Chapter 183: ,war

Since the French have so little sincerity for peace, the peace talks naturally fell through. Of course, the British have not seen much sincerity. With regard to the continental equilibrium policy that Britain has always adhered to, the United Kingdom will never tolerate the emergence of a hegemon on the European continent. Because the UK, which is lonely overseas, cannot compete with the whole of Europe anyway, any country that integrates the whole of Europe will naturally marginalize the UK. Therefore, even if the British and the French are at peace, this peace is at best a truce.
　　 Since there is no hope for peace, we can only find ways to expand the war. So the British found the Prussians again. This time the British paid a big price. The British promised the Prussians that as long as the Prussians agree to join a new alliance against France, the British can provide them with large financial aid; and the British will organize at least 80,000 people. The army units were used to fight alongside the Prussians.
　　 The Prussians also don’t want to see France overpowering. In fact, there is no country in Europe that does not expect that all countries except itself are weak. In fact, the reason why Prussia loved peace before was not because of its true love for peace, but only because of its fear of the French army. But now that the British have made such a large capital, they can't help but feel a little moved.
　　 So the Prussians proposed that first, money must be in place first. In other words, before the money is in place, don't expect Prussia to do something. Second, people must also be in place first.
　　 As soon as the British saw that they had a door, they immediately began to intensify their negotiations with the Prussians. Just as the negotiations between the two countries made significant progress, new changes occurred again-I don't know where the secrets were leaked, neither holy nor Roman, nor the emperor of the empire. Knowing that the British had given the Prussians a lot of money, the emperor quit: "Everyone is working hard with the French. Why can he get money, but I can't get money? No, we are short of money! More money than the Prussians! I also want a small amount of money!"
　　 So the British had to go to appease the emperor again, of course, spending a little more money.
　　 In this way, after spending a lot of money, a new alliance was finally established, and new wars followed.
　　In the month, Austria and Prussia jointly issued a note to France, requesting the French army to withdraw from Italy and Hanover within a time limit. This request was immediately rejected by France, and a new round of war broke out.
　　As soon as the war began, the Anti-French Alliance launched an attack on France from two directions. In the north, the British and Prussians formed a coalition to attack the French-controlled Hanover and Rhine regions; in the south, the Austrian army and the newly-entered Russian army also attacked Italy.
　　The battle in the north fought first, this time the French army encountered a tough opponent. Both the British and Prussian forces have updated their weapons and equipment. In the last war, the rifled gun, which caused them a big loss, has become a common equipment in these two armies. Especially the British army has almost completely eliminated the musket.
　　In contrast, the equipment of the French Northern Army was at a disadvantage. In the operation to suppress the royal rebellion, the military intervened in politics for the first time and demonstrated its decisive power. This approach has brought about a consequence, that is, those in the political circle desperately to please the military generals while trying to divide them.
　　 Therefore, they not only restored the military representative system in the factory, but also restored the older system, the general responsibility system for the purchase of munitions. In other words, now in France, the Ministry of War can only determine some standard specifications for weapons, and the specific right to purchase has passed the Ministry of War and directly passed to the legion commander.
　　 The purpose of this is very obvious, that is, to give money to the generals who directly lead the troops, to please them, and to win them over. So in France, two army leaders gradually formed, namely the Rubel Morrow group in the north and the Napoleon group in the south.
　　 There are also different arms dealers behind the two armies. Needless to say, behind Napoleon is the "military-industrial complex" of course, and other military-industrial enterprises that have not been dragged into the "military-industrial complex" have switched to Joubert.
　　 The French government's funding for the two armies is actually not too much, but it is barely enough. Only when buying weapons, the situation of the Northern Army and the Italian Army was very different.
　　 On the side of the Italian Legion, Joseph didn't need to give Napoleon a kickback, and he didn't have to worry about Napoleon giving orders to other arms dealers who gave kickbacks. Anyway, the "Military-Industrial Complex" belongs to the Bonaparte family, and Napoleon also has a share. The purchase fee is actually paid from the left hand to the right hand.
　　 But the Northern Army is different. Those guys who bid from Ruebel, want to win the bid, naturally they have to give Ruebel more rebates. If the rebate is too much, the cost will naturally rise. As the cost rises, the unit price of the weapon will naturally rise, and the appropriation Whether the total amount has increased, then the number of weapons and equipment will naturally decline. So until now, in the Northern Army, the Mini rifle is still only equipped with skirmishers, and the line infantry is still equipped with old rifles.
　　 As for the artillery, the Northern Army was originally the elite of the French army and equipped with the most artillery. But it has not been updated. Many cannons are not very useful because they are old.
　　 So in the first battle, the Northern Army did not perform very well. In the beginning, Ruebel also hoped to rely on the advantages of skirmishers to overwhelm the opponent. But his skirmishers met with the opponent's skirmishers, who were also equipped with rifled guns, and a large number of light cavalry equipped with revolvers.
　　 Especially those light cavalry equipped with revolvers pose a huge threat to the skirmishers. The skirmishers rely on their range advantages on the battlefield and can fire one or two rounds of bullets at the light cavalry before they rush up. But because the cavalry is fast, these two bullets are difficult to effectively hit the target. As soon as the cavalry approached and the revolver in their hand ran against the bayonet in the Frenchman's hand, the advantage was too obvious.
　　 If Rubel has enough light cavalry equipped with revolvers in his hand, he can of course use revolver against the revolver. However, the cost of a revolver is even higher than that of a rifled rifle. Therefore, many light cavalry under Ruebel mainly rely on sabers to fight.
　　 So as soon as the two sides fought, the French army was at a disadvantage and had to turn to defense, relying on fortifications to resist the attack of the British and Prussian forces.
　　 In the south, the situation is different. Because the actions of the Russian army were not fast enough, and the Austrians were determined not to take the initiative to attack as long as the Russians hadn’t arrived, so there was still calm for the time being, but the British were anxious to send envoys to urge them every day: "Say OK Why didn't you move at the beginning?"
　　 The emperor said: "After saying that the Russians will also move, they haven't arrived yet."
　　 The Russians said: "Our army is already on the road, wait, we will be there soon!"
　　 Indeed, according to the plan, the Russians should have arrived long ago, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. In Russia, His Majesty made the flowers by himself.
It is said that Her Majesty the Queen has always looked down upon the current Tsar Paul I. He feels that he is not a powerful weapon at all. Even the Queen does not want to pass the throne to him at all, but wants to pass him and directly give the crown to his son, the Queen. The grandson of Alexander (later Alexander I, no one noticed it when he fell from the bed when he was a few months old, and had to sleep under the bed until dawn. Alexander was brought up by the queen herself).
　　 It was only because the queen had a sudden stroke and had not been able to wake up since then, that Paul I was able to ascend the throne according to the order. And it is said that the first thing the Tsar's majesty did after enthroning was to ask his mother if he left a legacy, and if so, can he quickly destroy it.
　　 Maybe it is precisely because he is not the successor that the ruling and opposition parties have always been optimistic about, so he always wants to come up with something to prove his ability. Like many czars, he also had the experience of studying abroad in Europe~EbookFREE.me~ During that time, he was treated very well in Prussia (after all, if he hadn't had his brainy father, Prussia would have It doesn't exist anymore.), and like his father, he is full of love and even admiration for everything in Prussia.
　　 So as soon as he came to power, the czar began to carry out Prussian reforms of the army. Not only the various military regulations but also the training methods follow Prussia, and even the military uniforms must be replaced with Prussian uniforms.
　　 This practice was generally resisted by the Russian army. After all, not every officer has a problematic head like their tsar, and they have experienced the glory of the Queen's era, so it is even more impossible to worship Prussia. For example, Field Marshal Suvorov publicly stated: "What's so great about Prussia. It wasn't us at the beginning, they were dead. Now, if we go to war, I can hang them up and fight and learn from them? This is totally wrong!"
　　 The emperor Paul I, who was rather glass-hearted, naturally regarded this as disrespect to himself, so he dismissed Suvorov without saying a word. But soon after his dismissal, he discovered that he seemed to have agreed to send troops to France, and because of the changes in the military command level caused by the messy military reforms, many things were left unattended. As a result, preparations for sending troops to France Actually it did not do well. Moreover, in his hands, apart from Suvorov, there was really no one who could compete with the Austrians for the position of commander-in-chief.
　　 So the Tsar restored Officer Suvorov to his post, and then asked him to lead the Russian Expeditionary Force on an expedition to Italy.
　　Time passed in this kind of repetition.
