Chapter 408: Action


But Louis XVI must also admit this statement of the British, because before Britain and France fought around the world, there were no less so-called French volunteers in North America!

At that time, in the face of the menacing British, the French government used the excuse of the volunteer army to make the British unable to hold back their internal injuries, and now, the internal injuries have become Louis XVI.

It's just that compared to what the French did in North America, Britain's behavior this time may be a little excessive, after all, this battle took place on French soil, and the British soldiers' boots stepped on French soil, this symbolism is too great.

"Pass my order to mobilize all of Napoleon's Second Army and all the garrisons in the northern part of the kingdom to reinforce Calais, and tell Mader that the situation in Calais will not be pacified in two months, and that his general will not be necessary, so let me go home and sweep the ground!"

And in my name sent a letter to King George III, telling the psychotic king that if the British dared to challenge the bottom line of France again, I would not mind starting another war with them all over the world!

” After so many things, Louis XVI seemed to be much more mature than before, at least there were many things he was able to make decisions without asking for the opinions of others one by one, and Louis XVI had made great progress compared to his previous indecision.

When Louis XVI's words reached Marie's ears, Her Royal Highness was very relieved, but only for a moment.

Because Mary was under much more pressure than Louis XVI, at her desk.

The budgets for the mobilization of troops and the promotion of various places, the replenishment of lost soldiers, the arrangements for the logistics of the army, the financial budget of the kingdom, and other documents can probably be more than a meter high.

But Mary was not bored by the boredom of affairs, on the contrary for everything.

Mary coped with her best efforts, believing that the Kingdom's current difficult situation was only temporary.

Receiving the protest of the French government, George III was very disdainful, he thought that the French were completely self-righteous, why could you use such a despicable and shameless trick on me at the beginning, and now I can't use it on you?

This makes no sense, in the opinion of George III.

Britain's approach is completely to return the favor to the other in the other's way, which is simply the highest level of the art of war.

Of course, in order to take care of the diplomatic face of the French, this letter signed by Louis XVI himself obviously could not be thrown into the trash.

But it's perfectly fine to ignore it, or to go to the French with the British experts.

George III's idea can be said to be the idea of most people in the entire British society, and the British do not have much affection for the French who robbed them of colonies, and the countless stumbling blocks that the French secretly put on the British in North America made most British people gnash their teeth.

If it weren't for the Prussians' timely entry into the war.

Then the result is really unpredictable!

Therefore, in such a situation, except for a small number of members of the British Parliament who were opposed, most of the members agreed that the British ** team would enter Calais to fight in the name of the Volunteer Army, and the two major parties in Britain, the Whig Party and the Tories, were even more unanimous, and the two sides worked together to promote the Volunteer Army proposal in the House.

Madel's estimate of the British army in Calais was completely wrong, and in his report to Louis XVI he wrote that there were probably tens of thousands of British soldiers in the Calais region, a figure that was simply not true.

Because in Calais, the so-called volunteer army of the British numbered twenty-three thousand.

Not all of these troops were deployed in Calais.

You must know that a city without a perimeter defense government or stronghold will not be able to hold on for long unless it is a miracle.

Outside Calais, the British ambushed 10,000 elite soldiers, while on the other hand, about 2,000 British volunteers were infiltrating behind the counterinsurgency led by Mader in companies, and more than 10,000 soldiers were deployed in Calais.

In the case of the large-scale stationing of the British in Calais, the original Calais rebels were also greatly affected, and they were mixed or disorganized and reorganized, and each rebel army was filled with a large number of British ** teams and elite non-commissioned officers, and these basic officers were responsible for the mission of transforming the Calais rebels.

A quarrel broke out within Britain over whether to help the Calais rebels reorganize and train their troops.

Many British parliamentarians believe that what they need is a dog that will keep an eye on their bad neighbors on the continent.

But if the dog is too powerful, it will obviously not meet their requirements, because a strong dog can not only bite someone else but also hurt himself, but especially when the dog is as smart as a human.

These concerns are necessary, but now is not the time to worry about them, after all, if the puppy dies in the kennel early, then you also have to worry about whether it will go berserk and bite its owner in the future.

So the British Parliament passed a proposal to help the Calais rebels reorganize and train the armed forces, but the British were never selfless contributors, so Calais paid for the wealth of the city and the indefinite tax-free use of the port of Calais.

This means that from the beginning of the treaty, all rights to the port of Calais except for the name will belong to the British, and there will be no more relations with Calais.

The conditions were very harsh, but the representatives of the so-called Liberté de Calais and the French Democratic Alliance signed the treaty given by the British, because in their opinion, Calais is now facing great pressure from the Bourbons, and the regime is already in a precarious time. ...........................................

Under Blankov's strict orders, Nikolavich could no longer care so much, and he mobilized all the forces he could, including more than two hundred and fifty artillery pieces and tens of thousands of shells, if you look at the artillery position facing Nikolavich from the opposite side.

All they could see were rows and rows of honeycombs.

After that, the headquarters of the Third Army led by Nikolavich personally rushed to the front line, and Nikolavich assigned tasks to all the officers of the Third Army.

If someone fails to complete the task after a day of fighting, then the light one will lose his position, and the heavy one will lose his life!

The fierce fighting in the southwest of Moscow shocked the whole of Moscow, and the wounded soldiers who were withdrawn from the front line were even more shocking.

Under Nikolavich's desperate attack, in the southwest, Rumyantsev lost about 25,000 men, think of this figure.

Rumyantsev was in a state of pain.

The war was definitely not going to end in a short time, at least the huge logistical warehouses of the rebels outside Moscow gave Rumyantsev an answer that he absolutely did not like.

But the war must be fought, so the losses of the army must be replenished.

Otherwise, the army will be exhausted, and what will be used to defend Moscow at that time.

As mentioned earlier, Moscow was defended with 20,000 Imperial Guards and 10,000 conscripts from St.

Petersburg. 30,000 conscripts in Moscow itself.

Coupled with the more than 10,000 men and horses that Rumyantsev painstakingly obtained from the nobles in Moscow, the total number of troops defending Moscow was a little more than 100,000.

But in this only a short time, more than 20,000 soldiers have already lost their combat effectiveness in the southeast, which means that the defenders of Moscow have lost a quarter of their combat strength!

Although the losses of the rebels attacking Moscow will not be small or even very heavy, don't forget that those rebels have captured 150,000 young and middle-aged people, and the rebels' light cavalry is still patrolling the Moscow area, and everything suitable for serving as a soldier has been forcibly pulled away by these rebels.

In fact, just as the conscripts in Moscow were not much different from the young and strong fighting forces of the rebels, those conscripts did not receive much formal training.

During the battles in the south-western direction, Rumyantsev has confirmed this.

There is no longer any point in conscripting soldiers from among the inhabitants of Moscow.

Because the suitable young men in Moscow have already been conscripted, and if they are recruited again, there will be no good soldiers at all, and now the best soldiers in Moscow are in the hands of the major nobles.

Although under the influence of Gandalf, most of the nobles showed some support for Rumyantsev, and basically all the nobles sent some men to participate in the defense of Moscow, but in Rumyantsev's opinion, these support were not enough, and the nobles still supported too few armed forces.

So when Rumyantsev's lieutenant reported to Rumyantsev the data on the number of troops lost in the battle, the old marshal stood up with a spirit, and then immediately asked his adjutant to prepare his horses, and he wanted to go to all the great nobles in the city at once.

After that, Rumyantsev's carriage walked through the streets, and the old marshal kept waving the thin data sheet in front of every nobleman's eyes, and everyone felt dizzy when they saw the series of data on the thin list, and at this time, Rumyantsev would use all kinds of coercion and temptation.

Relying on this method, within three days, Rumyantsev received nearly 10,000 troops, which made Rumyantsev more confident in his next actions. ........................................

Maximilian's proposal caused a huge wave in Frankfurt, and the actions of the Elector of Cologne shocked all the Reichstagmen, and after that, the entire Reichstag could not calm down like a pan of oil dripping into water, and even the Speaker shouted dozens of loud noises to silence the deputies.

And after a long period of noise, the Reichstag fell silent as fast as possible, because all the councillors ran out in a rush after the shock, and they wanted to report Maximilian's astonishing act to their respective masters with the fastest action.

Compared with Vienna, Brandenburg is undoubtedly closer to Frankfurt, which also allows Wilhelm to receive information from Frankfurt in the shortest possible time, of which Maximilian's proposal is the most important.

After reading Maximilian's proposal in its entirety, William couldn't help laughing, generally speaking, if there is no accident, the Imperial Diet and the electors will not interfere with the succession to the throne at will, as long as the previous emperor officially recognizes the identity of the successor in public and determines it in the situation of an edict, then under the premise that there is no major problem, all countries will accept it.

But as mentioned earlier, the power in the hands of the Elector of Cologne was the greatest surprise, because among the electors, only the Elector of Cologne had the right to request a council of electors to elect an heir to the throne if there was already an heir to the throne.

And now Maximilian is using this right, if there is no William, maybe Maximilian will still have a certain possibility of success, after all, the Elector of Cologne has always been the highest status among the major electors, if the major electors have been fighting for the heir to the throne for a long time, the Elector of Cologne can even act as the emperor when the throne is vacant.

Although the current imperial power of the Holy Roman Empire is basically for the sake of viewing, as the Holy Roman Empire that inherited the title of the Roman Empire, his throne is a throne that countless people dream of day and night, even if it is an ornament.

Maximilian made this move in accordance with the law, and it was also the biggest test for Leopold, because Maximilian didn't even need to win, he just needed to find one more ally among the electors, and then create a stalemate at the electoral meeting, then he won.

As mentioned earlier, the throne is deadlocked, and the Elector of Cologne can act as the emperor!

At the time of the establishment of the Elector of the Reich, the Elector of Cologne, in addition to the vacant rights of the throne, could also be authorized by the Reichstag to serve as the Prime Minister of the Reich.

So once the stalemate persisted, Maximilian had a lot of time and energy within the empire to make trouble for Leopold's ascension.

But now that there is such a variable as William, no one can deny William's influence within the empire, after all, as the second most powerful prince in the empire, many small princes in the empire are still Prussian.

Not to mention that now both the Saxony and the Electors of Bavaria are directly or indirectly following Wilhelm's orders, so Wilhelm is the referee who decides the battle for the throne within the Habsburgs.
