In this way, Xiao Jie and Napoleon reached a plan that seemed unfair to him. The plan stipulates that the 88th Army and the Imperial Guard and the Guards will hold a real-armed confrontation exercise on August 10. The Imperial Guard and the Guards Corps were the main attackers, and the 88th Army was the main defender. If the Imperial Guard and the Guards cannot occupy the position of the 88th Army within the specified time (three days), the Imperial Guard and the Guards will be judged to be defeated; otherwise, the 88th Army will be judged to be defeated.
Both Napoleon and Xiao Jie were very satisfied with such a plan. Among them, Napoleon mainly wanted to test how effective Xiao Jie's new tactics and new weapons would be in the war. If Xiao Jie won the exercise, he would not hesitate to take the lead in all the legions. Implement this new training method. If Xiao Jie failed, then it would be easier, just bring Xiao Jie here to give a good education, and then train the soldiers according to the previous drills again. And Xiao Jie wanted to use this opportunity to show Napoleon the strength of his army. In this case, he would probably be allowed to expand, so that he could control more troops. Greater strength, greater voice. However, it all depends on whether his research institute can develop the Maxim heavy machine gun and the 75mm field gun as soon as possible. Very sure of winning. However, if he cannot equip the troops with these two killing weapons before the exercise, although he still has grenades and mortars that can be used, facing the strong numbers of the Imperial Guard and the Guards, the outcome will be decided. It's hard to predict.
General Bessiere, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and Marshal Dawu, the regiment of the Guards, laughed it off when they learned about it, thinking that it was just that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to use them to hone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With the strength of the Imperial Guard and Guards Corps, occupying the position of the newly formed 88th Legion is not like playing games.
Similarly, when all the officers and men of the 88th Legion knew the news, they immediately thought that their commander, His Highness the Crown Prince, was crazy. No one believes that the 88th Legion has the strength to confront the two most elite troops of the empire, and it is still the case that the entire legion has only 6,000 people.
Seeing the continuous loss of morale, Xiao Jie was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. It's like this before it even started, and after half a year, there's no need to practice at all, and you can just admit defeat. Fortunately, a week later, the first batch of 1,000 hand grenades and 20 mortars produced by the West Arsenal (renamed from Xiao Jie's previous gun factory) arrived. After seeing the astonishing power of these two weapons, all the officers and men of the 88th Army suddenly realized that maybe they could really fight against the Imperial Guard and the Guards. The soldiers regained their former fighting spirit, and under the leadership of officers who were also full of fighting spirit, they worked hard to carry out various trainings. Seeing this situation, Xiao Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the days that followed, Xiao Jie spent all his time in the army's training and research institute, except for the occasional romantic encounter with Angel. The sooner the Maxim heavy machine gun and 75mm field gun are developed, the sooner they can be put into production, and the sooner the soldiers of the 88th Army can become familiar with these weapons, and the chances of winning the August exercise will increase by one point.
In mid-April, the first batch of 10 heavy machine guns and 10 75mm field guns were officially delivered to the 88th Army. It is expected that before the start of the exercise, the Maxim heavy machine guns and 75mm field guns of the 88th Army will reach 120 and 100 respectively. The terrifying power of the 75mm field gun of the Maxim heavy machine gun stunned everyone in the 88th Army, except Xiao Jie, who had known their power for a long time.
After seeing the power of these two weapons, everyone believed that they were the devil's weapons at all. But it is undoubtedly a very cool thing to be able to use the devil's weapon. Now, no one believes that they will lose in the August exercise. They believe that in front of these weapons with terrifying power, the Imperial Guard and Guards will no longer be scary in front of them. Like a woman's penis, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com just needs to be poked lightly and it will break.
In order to prevent the soldiers from relying too much on advanced weapons, Xiao Jie trained these soldiers more strictly than before, making them miserable.
Time passed slowly like this. When Xiao Jie devoted himself wholeheartedly to the training of the troops, the European continent was undercurrent surging again, and a new crisis of war had already begun to conceive.
In order to consolidate his new dynasty, Napoleon married Josephine's niece Stephanie de Beauharne to the heir to the throne of the Grand Duchy of Baden. Berthier, named Grand Duke of Neuchâtel, was forced to break up with his long-time mistress Visconti and marry a little Bavarian princess. A year later, Jerome, still legally married to Elizabeth, married the princess of Württemberg. A new Charlemagne had risen, and the Pope was informed. "Your Excellency is the master of Rome," said Napoleon to Pope Pius VII, "but I am the emperor of Rome!"
During this period, Napoleon expanded to Prussia while conducting a lot of negotiations with Britain and Russia. In July, the Russian diplomat Ubri came to Paris to sign the initial treaty of the Franco-Russian peace treaty with Talleyrand. The initial treaty was initialed on July 20, but this time it was the Russian Emperor Alexander, still bitter about his defeat at Austerlitz, who refused to ratify the peace treaty. When he learned of the Russian emperor's refusal, Napoleon said to Talleyrand: "It seems that I can't form a real alliance with any powerful country in Europe." Get the city Wesel building fortress. Prepare to solve the problem by means of war.
