Make France Great Again

When seeing many commanders in the capital area blushing over the order of troops going to the Near East, Saint-Arnaud, the chief of general staff sitting in the conference room, stood up to defend the entire meeting under the hint of Jerome Bonaparte's eyes. room order.

"Quiet!" Saint Arnaud shouted to everyone present in a stern tone.

The noise and quarrels all stopped under Saint Arnaud's scolding. The many commanders who were arguing fiercely remembered that this was not the military camp where they acted recklessly, but the Tuileries Palace.

"Look! What have you become now! Who do you think you are?" Saint Arnaud immediately reprimanded the commanders of the capital area who were present.

Facing Marshal Saint-Arnault, who had already established his authority through iron-fist means, none of the commanders in the capital area dared to contradict Marshal Saint-Arnault, for fear that Marshal Saint-Arnault would tell them to take off their clothes if they disagreed. Military uniforms just get out of here.

Saint-Arnault looked around, and all the commanders he saw lowered their heads with guilt. Seeing that the previously unruly commanders were now like docile kittens who dared not say a word, there was an inexplicable feeling. A sense of satisfaction flooded into Saint Arnaud's heart. He cleared his throat and spoke again: "I know that some of you are very dissatisfied with the General Staff's plan! Now, I don't care how dissatisfied you are! Now that the order from the General Staff has been issued, you only have the right to choose to execute it!"

Then, Saint-Arnaud once again regained the iron fist he had when he was the Chief of the General Staff. He said coldly: "If anyone makes any comments on this issue again, you should take off this military uniform and go home! I don’t want a bunch of outsiders to see our Army’s jokes!”

Speaking of this, Saint-Arnaud glanced at Admiral Dicko, who was sitting on the right side of Jerome Bonaparte, intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone in the War Department except Dicko could tell at a glance who was an outsider and who was not.

As the person involved, Dico had an awkward yet polite smile on his face, but he was feeling very depressed inside.

I originally thought that I was just here to attend a military meeting, but who would have thought that the group of Army Red Deer would actually start a joke about infighting. Before Dicko could make a good mockery of this group of Army Red Deer, the boss of the Army Red Deer In a blink of an eye, the pot was thrown directly on his head.

This Podiko has really become a foreign force that undermines the internal unity of the Army Red Deer.

"Okay! Everyone is making a fuss! Let us continue to sit down quietly and listen to the battle plan of the General Staff!" Jerome Bonaparte also spoke at this time, and then he said to Leboeuf : "Please continue!"

LeBoeuf continued to explain to the generals in the audience the General Staff's arrangements for the war in the Near East.

After a new round of reform of the military service system, the French Empire currently has approximately 550,000 army troops, including 450,000 local troops and approximately 100,000 colonial troops (including Algeria, French Guiana, and Rome), and this expedition The planned military strength is around 130,000, accounting for a quarter of the French Empire's national military strength.

These included the 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Guards) Divisions, one division of the Italian Front, one division under Strasbourg, and the Zuave Brigade, a force of five divisions and one brigade.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions and the Zuave Brigade will serve as the main force in the war, and the Italian and Strasbourg Divisions will serve as reserves to supplement the lost main force at any time.

Each division will be equipped with two infantry artillery companies. Each infantry artillery company will be equipped with 6 small 6-pound Napoleon cannons, mainly loaded with solid artillery shells, and 2 large 12-pound Napoleon cannons, mainly loaded with shrapnel shells. Lord. Equivalent to each infantry division being able to possess 12 6-pound small Napoleon cannons and 4 12-pound large Napoleon cannons. In terms of the firepower of a single round of infantry, the British Empire at the same time did not have such luxury as Jerome Bonaparte. .

The commander in charge of the 1st Division was Commander Canrobert, with three brigades under him.

The commander in charge of the second division was Pierre Boliquet, a veteran Algerian general who was good at running operations and was promoted to the position of division commander by Jérôme Bonaparte.

The commander of the Guards Division is also Pelissier. This old general who dares to fight and charge has been asking for his troops to rush to the front line to resist the enemy since he became the commander of the Guards Division.

The Zhuav Brigade does not have a brigade commander, and its two regiments will support the troops at any time as the war requires.

The three main divisions and two reserve divisions that set out for Crimea will be reorganized into a corps (army) into an expeditionary army group, and the person commanding this new organization is none other than French Chief of General Staff Saint-Arles. Marshal No.

During the period when Marshal Saint-Arnault was heading to the Near East from France, the training of the local army was entrusted to Major General Niel.

It can be said that Niel will become the de facto local chief of staff after Saint-Arnaud leaves France.

This is excellent news for Niel's ongoing military line restoration work. The influence of an acting chief of general staff is far greater than that of a logistics director.

After the staffing situation of the War Department was briefed, Leboeuf began to formulate war plans against the Russian Empire.

When the Imperial Navy sends everything to Varna, a radio station must be built in the Varna area in the shortest time to maintain contact with Paris at all times.

The French army could then depend on the situation. If the Ottoman Empire can still defend the Silistra-Ruse line, then France will take a naval warship to Sevastopol to attack the Sevastopol Naval Fortress, taking away the base camp of the Russian Empire in one fell swoop.

The French Imperial Army occupying the Sevastopol Fortress can unite with the Ottoman Empire's troops to attack the Caucasus to the east, and attack Odessa to the west to eliminate the effective forces of the Russian Empire.

On the contrary, if the Ottoman Empire faces defeat in the battle with the Russian Empire, the French Imperial Army will immediately go to Silistra Fortress to help the Ottoman Empire drive the Russian Empire out of the Principality of Moldova and Wallachia, and then move north to occupy Ode. Sa.

"I hope that group of fanatical religious believers can persevere! I don't want to fight those damn Slavic animals unprepared!" Saint Arnaud said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Everyone present had cheerful smiles on their faces. The detailed plan of the General Staff made them confident about the victory of the upcoming war.

Later, Jérôme Bonaparte once again asked Navy Minister Dicko whether the navy could safely deliver the French Imperial Army to the Ottoman Empire.

Dicko quickly stood up and assured Jérôme Bonaparte that the Imperial Navy would safely deliver the Imperial Army to the territory of the Ottoman Empire.

At the same time, Dicko also told Jérôme Bonaparte, France’s new wife... ah no! A new ship is about to be launched, and this ship will become another monument to France.

"I look forward to the new warships achieving excellent results!" Jérôme Bonaparte encouraged Dicko with a smile.

The emergence of ironclads did change the pattern of naval warfare to a certain extent.

It is a pity that France, as a first-mover country, cannot devote all its energy to the navy like Britain. It is foreseeable that the slight advantage of the French Imperial Navy will soon be surpassed by the British Kingdom next door.

However, even so, France still needs to build a new navy.

The military race was a blood-vomiting marathon. Only by continuing to chase Britain's back non-stop could France suddenly overtake Britain at a certain moment and leave Britain behind.

"Everyone, start taking action! I will be waiting for news of your triumph at the Tuileries Palace!" At the end of the meeting, Jerome Bonaparte made his final concluding remarks.

Chief of the General Staff Saint-Arnault hurriedly stood up and assured Jerome Bonaparte: "Please rest assured that we will not betray your trust in us!"

All the military commanders present saluted Jerome Bonaparte and shouted loyalty. Jerome Bonaparte also returned the salute to this group of military commanders, and then ended the pre-war mobilization meeting.

The gate of the Tuileries Palace slowly opened, and carriages carrying military commanders from the capital area left the Tuileries Palace one after another.

After Jerome Bonaparte bid farewell to the last military commander, Mokar came to Jerome Bonaparte and reported to Jerome Bonaparte about Richard Metternich's visit. information.

"Your Majesty, Secretary Richard Metternich is outside the Tuileries Palace. Would you like to meet him?" Mokar asked Jerome Bonaparte respectfully.

After Jerome Bonaparte thought for a moment, he looked for Shuyuan wwwｗ.zhaoshuyuan.com and replied with a smile: "It doesn't hurt to meet! We have to let our quasi-ally know the current situation of the Austrian Empire! Mokar , you go and invite Mr. Richard Metternich to my study!"

After receiving the order, Mokar left the conference hall, and Jerome Bonaparte also left the conference hall. He would wait in the study for Mokar to bring Richard Metternich.

Jerome Bonaparte had just returned to the study from the conference hall, and Mokar led Richard Metternich into the study.

"Your Majesty!" Richard Metternich hurriedly curtsied to Jerome Bonaparte and called.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting on a mahogany seat with gilded edges (the more elegant one is the throne), crossed his legs, crossed his hands on his chest, and looked at Richard Metternich in an extremely relaxed posture. Said: "Mr. Richard Metternich, please sit down!"
