(The second chapter arrives!)
"Indeed, as you said, Britain and Russia formally reached an alliance a week ago. Alexander's special envoys have arrived in Berlin and Vienna, and are in secret contact with the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria. It is estimated that they want to form a new anti-French alliance." Allies. Since we have suffered heavy losses in the war, it is estimated that Prussia and Austria will soon agree to Russia's demands. In addition, there is another bad news, that is, a week ago, the Russian army occupied Warsaw, and the pro-French Kropoulos The government has been overthrown, and the pro-Russian Kakust government is in the process of preparation. In addition, three members of the Rhine League have also secretly contacted other countries. Our rule in southern Germany has been shaken. To be precise, the current We don't have a single friend in Europe." Seeing Napoleon's deteriorating expression, Campini said quickly.
"Those damned traitors, one day I will let them know the fate of betraying me." Napoleon said viciously. As an enemy of the whole of Europe, if it was France before the war, it would have that strength. But it's hard to tell now. "Campini, you immediately send envoys to Prussia and Austria, no, you go in person. In any case, you must stabilize the two countries, at all costs, and even promise to return their occupied territories." Take Pollen thought for a moment and said.
"Your Majesty, our interests will be seriously damaged in this way." Murat said hastily. Because he still has a small part of the territory he took from Prussia, if he wants to return the territory, then his territory will definitely be among them.
"If we don't do this, we will probably have nothing." Seeing that Murat was so uninterested, Napoleon couldn't help but reprimanded loudly. He could no longer bear Murat, and Murat would have suffered if it hadn't been for his sister's sake. In fact, Napoleon didn't want to spit out the fat he ate, but isn't there really no way? Moreover, even if the territory is returned to them now, there will be a chance to regain it at any time in the future.
Murat also knew that his performance in the war was really bad. His cavalry regiment has only more than 3,000 people left. He was afraid that Napoleon would take the opportunity to deal with him, so he quickly shut up.
"Your Majesty, there may be someone who can help us through this crisis." Prime Minister Cambaceres said suddenly.
All the people were attracted by his words, and comparing whether they could defeat the new anti-French alliance was what they were most concerned about.
Campaceres enjoyed the feeling of being noticed, and said after a while: "Prince of France, Crown Prince of Spain, His Royal Highness Andresi, Commander of the 88th Legion. I believe that if he is willing to help us, then we must To win the war again."
Everyone was silent, others might be okay, but Xiao Jie had to think about it. After all, the current relationship between France and Iberia is not bad, but it is not close. The last border conflict brought an indelible wound to the relationship between the two parties. The most important thing is that Xiao Jie's former crown prince was deposed by Napoleon, so it may not be so easy to find help from others now.
"Your Majesty, the current Iberia can be said to have a strong army and rich horses. His Royal Highness Andresi now has an elite army of hundreds of thousands and a powerful navy. In addition, the GDP of Iberia is as early as It had already surpassed France in 1811. With his help, we will be able to defeat the new anti-French alliance, and the French economy will recover soon." Seeing that Napoleon hesitated, Cambaseret S said quickly.
"Prime Minister, how can this be possible. Ask Andresi to help us, let alone his big refusal. Even if he agrees, wouldn't that be a way to lure wolves into the house? Everyone knows his ambition for the throne, and asking him for help now is not for Does he have a chance to usurp the throne?" Before Napoleon could answer, Murat jumped out. Perhaps anyone would welcome Andrési's troops into France, but he alone would not. He was very aware of the rift between him and Xiao Jie, if Xiao Jie took charge of the power of France, he would definitely be punished to death. He didn't believe that his nephew would kindly let him go.
By the way, Andresi is also a person with great ambitions, and he will not let this opportunity pass by. Napoleon hesitated, wondering whether he should accept Cambacérez's suggestion. But if he accepts it, then it is obvious that his son will not be the future French emperor, which he cannot tolerate, and he has spent a lot of effort to appoint François as the crown prince, that's all He was really not reconciled to giving up halfway. But what if you don't accept it? For this crisis, he really has no certainty of victory.
"Your Excellency Cambaceres, please pay attention to your wording. I let the throne return to the orthodox heir, and it is not a personal grudge." Murat refused to accept it, and retorted loudly.
"Okay, you two stop arguing." Napoleon got angry. Cambaceres and Murat stopped quickly and sat down on the chairs again, but they still glared at each other like fighting cocks, probably trying to kill each other with their eyes.
"General Clark, do you have detailed information on the Iberian army?" Napoleon asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. Now Iberia has two branches of the army and the navy. The army includes: the 88th Army, with a total number of more than 160,000 people, and a cavalry army with a total number of more than 20,000 people. One is composed of Spaniards and The Iberia Legion composed of the Portuguese has a total number of 110,000. There are also 4 local garrison divisions composed of the Spaniards, with a total of 60,000 people. The navy includes 20 'Iberia' class warships and 3 'Bo Nabal' class. According to the latest information, His Royal Highness Andresi intends to form a new legion—the Iberian Second Legion, with a total number of 110,000 people. The navy will also launch warships one after another." Clarke said respectfully. I have to say that his information is still very comprehensive, but a new branch of Iberia's military, the Air Force, has done very well in secrecy measures, so that other countries don't even know that Iberia already has a mysterious army that dominates the sky. force.
"My God! There are nearly 500,000 people. Does a small Iberia need so many troops? Or does Andresi have too much money and nowhere to spend it, and the urgent need for this will consume his wealth. ?” After hearing Clark’s report, Murat immediately called out: “Everyone, isn’t this enough to explain Andresi’s ambitions? 500,000 people, already surpassing the current French Army.”
Hearing this number, people like Napoleon were all moved, but they thought differently. What Napoleon thought was that Xiao Jie with so many troops would become his son's greatest enemy. Others thought that if these half a million men could be thrown into the impending war, France would surely win again.
"So what about 500,000 people? Isn't this bad? The stronger His Highness Andresi is, the greater our hope of winning?" Cambaceres said indifferently.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. What benefit did Andresi give you? You need to help him to say this. Do you still have His Highness François in your eyes?" Murat said indifferently.
"Prince Murat, you are talking nonsense. I did this only to protect the interests of France." Cambaceres argued angrily. But what he didn't know was that because of Murat's instigation, Napoleon looked at him in a different way, as if he really belonged to Xiao Jie.
"Okay, stop arguing. General Clark, I remember that the 88th Army has always belonged to the French Army's order of battle~www.mtlnovel.com~ Immediately, in the name of the French Army Staff, order the Deputy Chief of the 88th Army, Dugo Admiral Er led the 88th Army to defend the west bank of the Rhine." Napoleon ordered.
Clark didn't understand Napoleon's order very much. Although the 88th Army belongs to the French Army's battle order, everyone knows that Xiao Jie alone has borne all the expenses of the 88th Army since its formation. Yes, in other words, the 88th Army is Xiao Jie's private army. Can the 88th Army follow Napoleon's orders? Clark was very skeptical of this. "Your Majesty, are you sure that General Dugor will obey your orders? I think that without the consent of His Highness Andresi, none of the 88th Legion would have crossed the border between France and Iberia." Clark hesitated and said.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, you have to be clear. I am the emperor of the French Empire, the supreme ruler of France, and Iberia is just a vassal state of the French Empire. Then, how can others disobey my orders? What?" Napoleon insisted. "In addition, what I mean is that this matter should bypass Andresi and directly hand over our orders to Dugor. As long as he is willing to obey my orders, I will immediately promote him to the rank of marshal and canonize him as the Grand Marshal of France." Duke." Napoleon finally revealed his true intentions.
