But there is no doubt that the expansion of the army is not a simple matter, and this does not mean that William could expand if he wanted to.
レ& spades; Thoughts & hearts; Road & clubs; Even though William was the king of Prussia, he had to take into account the current strength of Prussia and the opinions of the nobles.
In the first half of the year, because William wanted to expand the three new divisions, Locks was very ugly and brought Prussia's budget for this year, although William's idea was finally realized, but William also knew that the three new divisions had exhausted this year's Prussian budget.
Unless Wilhelm was able to tap into the savings of the Prussian treasury, it would be a joke to expand his army.
It is undeniable that in the years before 1789, Prussia did accumulate a lot of stocks, but in the opinion of Locks, who was in charge of the treasury, the property in the treasury was the lifeblood of Prussia and could never be used unless it was absolutely necessary.
If William had used this property for the expansion of the army, Locks would have strongly opposed it.
Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are already signs of riots in France and Russia, at least the whole of Europe is relatively peaceful except for a local area, and in such a situation, if William uses that money to promote the development of various industries in the country, Locks will definitely support it.
But if William's aim was to expand the army, then Locks would certainly not agree.
As the head of the zhèngfǔ, Locks united a large number of Prussian officials and nobles under his command, so that without Locks' consent, it would be as difficult for William to use that batch of supplies as it was in a large-scale battle.
So.
Wilhelm wanted to use the opportunity of convening a general meeting of the Prussian nobility to promote the expansion of the Prussian army Napoleon looked at the town of Enlaize in front of him, and the joy in his heart was overflowing.
The town of Enlaize was captured.
It marks that Napoleon's plan is halfway through, and all that needs to be done after that is to wait quietly.
But although the plan was carried out relatively successfully, Napoleon also identified a big problem in the army.
Napoleon's army came from two parts, one was the 1st Brigade of the Second Army taken over by Napoleon, and the other was the 10,000 city defense troops in the Dijon area, and at the beginning, Napoleon did not have high expectations for the city defense army in the second part.
But the performance of these city defense forces turned out to be even worse than Napoleon had previously thought.
A whole 10,000 men were thrown into the first wave of Napoleon's attack, but 10,000 could not help a town defended by only 2,000 enemy troops.
Moreover, the two thousand enemy troops were a complete rabble, and they could not even get together their weapons, which made Napoleon's heart tremble.
After the contribution of the town of Enlaitze, Napoleon did not blockade the whole city.
Instead, he ordered the French army to tighten up inside and outside.
All the residents of Enlaize Town were not allowed to enter, and this order caused the citizens of Enlaize Town, who had become refugees, to leave their hometowns with mixed thoughts.
Two days after the fall of Enlaize, Lafayette in Lyon received the news, and at first when he learned that the French army had contributed to Enlais, Lafayette was completely stunned by the news, in his opinion, the French attack on Lyon must have come from the north, and the defensive arrangement of Lyon was arranged according to this central idea.
But now, reality tells Lafayette that an army has appeared in the town of Enlaize.
You know, it's southeast of Lyon.
This is equivalent to the French army sparing most of the circle to attack the town of Enlaize, and for such a long time.
The scouts that Lafayette had arranged before did not send back a single message, which made Lafayette almost want to kill the officer in charge of the scouts.
But now, things have come to this point, and they have to make amends.
After questioning, Lafayette learned that the French army attacking Enlaize Town was about 20,000 people, which made Lafayette, who originally thought it was just a small army, feel relieved.
After this period of arrangement, the entire city of Lyon has been placed in a long snake formation in the north-south direction, in Lafayette's plan, he is ready to use layers of blocking to consume the sharp spirit of the French army, and then when the French army crosses the first two lines of defense and the soldiers are under the city of Lyon, presumably the French army has also become the end of the strong army, and there are still 20,000 rebels in the city of Lyon, and there are nearly 30,000 fresh troops in the south.
According to Lafayette, the rebels have a good chance of success in this situation.
As for the first two lines of defense, Lafayette had no hope, in other words, it was the point of existence of these two lines of defense to be able to delay the French offensive with the defense line.
And now, there are 20,000 troops in places he didn't expect, this discovery made Lafayette shudder, this time France sent a total of 50,000 troops to fight against the rebellion in Lyon, and now there are 20,000 French troops in the town of Enlaize, which means that there are still 30,000 French troops missing.
If the 20,000 French troops turned around and headed north after capturing the town of Enlaize, and then the 30,000 French troops whose whereabouts are unknown appeared behind the two lines of defense north of Lyon, how long could the rebels hold out when the time came?
Thinking about it, Lafayette shuddered, and he realized that he had to destroy the 20,000 French troops in Enlaize Town, and at least drive the 20,000 French troops away, so that they could make trouble for themselves behind their backs.
But 20,000 French troops are not a weak force, if the rebels send less than 30,000 troops, it is completely delivering food, but if more than 30,000 troops are sent, this will have a great impact on the deployment of the entire Lyon area.
After thinking for a while, Lafayette gritted his teeth, and he decided that he must do his best to eliminate the 20,000 French troops in the town of Enlaize while the main force of the French army had not yet appeared.
"Come on, order the entire army of the Third Army of Joel Town to march towards Enlaize Town, and the First Army Corps in Lyon City will send 10,000 troops to cooperate with the actions of the Third Army, and be sure to eliminate those rats in Enlaize Town for me!"
If Napoleon had known that Lafayette had given such an order without any pressure at all, he would have died of laughter, because Napoleon had taken a fancy to the town of Enlaitse, only because of its geographical location and developed commerce, and as for the significance of Enlayette's plan for the defense of Lyon, Napoleon did not know at all.
But now, although things are developing beyond Napoleon's expectations, it is clear that such a development is what Napoleon would like to see the most.
