Make France Great Again - Chapter 893

“However, a well-thought-out military plan requires the cooperation of many staff officers and front-line military commanders!

Once they’re in action, it’s hard to guarantee that the plan won’t be compromised! ‘ Nierre raised concerns with Jerome Bonaparte.

“This solution is very simple!” Jerome Bonaparte responded to Niel in a brisk tone: “As long as the General Staff is divided into multiple strategic study groups as in the previous preparations for the Crimean War!

Each group is responsible for a different country, Belgium, Sardinia, Prussia, Austria, and even Egypt can be our imaginary enemies!

In this way, we can’t hide the real target in it! ”

Niel suddenly felt relieved, and he hurriedly told Jerome Bonaparte that he would do what Jerome Bonaparte wanted.

“By the way, when setting up an imaginary enemy, you need to consider many aspects, not just the existing troops of the enemy and us.” Jerome Bonaparte once again warned Niel: “Take the Kingdom of Prussia. For example, when considering the Kingdom of Prussia, not only consider the existing 160,000 troops of the Kingdom of Prussia, but also consider the first- and second-level reserves of the Kingdom of Prussia, as well as the railways and telegraphs in the Kingdom of Prussia.

In the previous Crimean War, the role of the telegraph and the railway need not be repeated too much… By the way, we must also take into account the tactical changes brought about by the Dreiser rifle in the Kingdom of Prussia. ”

Jerome Bonaparte talked eloquently about the problems of the Kingdom of Prussia, and Niel immediately thought, where is the example of His Majesty the Emperor, he must want to take action against the Kingdom of Prussia.

Otherwise, why does His Majesty the Emperor remind them of the movements of the Kingdom of Prussia year after year.

However, there is a high probability that His Majesty the Emperor will not attack Prussia in the near future.

The system of the French reserve (in fact, the semi-professional reserve) has just been established, and the reserve officers have not yet been fully implemented, and it will take a long time to polish them before they can be used.

“Nielle… Niel…” Just as Niel was thinking about the reserve system and the Prussian issue, Jerome Bonaparte’s voice reached Niel’s ear, and Niel reacted. The general hurriedly responded: “Your Majesty, I will listen again!”

“Then what do you say I just said?” Jerome Bonaparte asked Nierre with an interesting smile on the corner of his mouth.

“This… ah…” How could Nier know what Jerome Bonaparte said, he could only stammer and say it.

“Forget it!” Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and asked, “Can you tell me what you were thinking about?”

“Your Majesty, have you already planned to attack the Kingdom of Prussia?” Niel said what was in his heart.

“That’s right!” Jerome Bonaparte said candidly to Nier: “I didn’t tell you that we must go through a war with the Kingdom of Prussia!

I can now tell you responsibly that the war between us and the Kingdom of Prussia will determine the hegemony of the entire Central and Western Europe!

If we defeat the Kingdom of Prussia, the hegemony of Central and Western Europe will remain in the hands of the French Empire.

Conversely, if we face failure, then the hegemony of Central and Western Europe will be transferred to the hands of the Kingdom of Prussia! ”

Jerome Bonaparte’s words caused a surprised expression on Niel’s face. He didn’t know how Jerome Bonaparte came to this conclusion.

“Your Majesty, isn’t your inference too pessimistic!” Nierre replied cautiously to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Pessimistic?” Jerome Bonaparte replied to Nier with a cold snort, “I would like to be optimistic, but reality does not allow me to be so optimistic!

I’ll take the simplest example! Do you know what was the population of France at the time of last year’s census? ”

Niel was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand what Jerome Bonaparte meant. Could it be that Germany’s hegemony has something to do with population? If Germany’s hegemony has something to do with population, then the population of the Russian Empire may not be the first in the world.

Although Niel had some disdain for Jerome Bonaparte’s theory of population and hegemony in his heart, he still respected Jerome Bonaparte on his face.

After all, Jerome Bonaparte was the emperor of the empire, and even if he was really wrong, it was a well-intentioned mistake.

“Your Majesty, I don’t know about this!” Niel said to Jerome Bonaparte.

“According to the census, our population in 1855 was about 36.6 million people, and the 1850 census was 35.8 million people, which means that we have increased the population by 800,000 people in 5 years!

The average annual growth rate was 4%, compared with 11% for the Kingdom of Great Britain and 10% for the Kingdom of Württemberg and the Duchy of Baden during these years, so it can be inferred that the population growth rate of the Kingdom of Prussia was also the same. Around 10%-11%! “Jérôme Bonaparte said to Nierre in a solemn tone, “Nierre, do you know what this means? ”

“Our population may be less than the German population in the future!” Niel replied tentatively.

“That’s right! If we don’t make changes, then my population will be much smaller than that of Germany in the future!” Jerome Bonaparte’s tone became more and more solemn, “Nielle, I was with you. Having said that, the war of the future is definitely not a symbol limited to a small group of people!

He is a war involving all the people, an expanded version of the Crimean War!

The two countries/nations that are at war will do their best to fight!

Hundreds of thousands, or even a million troops, would be fighting in an area less than a hundred kilometers deep.

This will test which of the two countries has a larger population and whose willpower is stronger.

And those extra people in the German region will be dispersed into the army, Niel, let me ask you, do you have the confidence to defeat an enemy twice as many as us!

”

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte’s voice fell, Niel fell into silence. He was confident in winning an army of the same size, but he still had no confidence in having twice as many enemies.

This kind of enemy, I am afraid only the original Emperor Napoleon can defeat.

“And our enemies will use railroads to quickly support weakly defended areas as quickly as possible!

Trying to replicate the war miracles of Napoleon’s period is basically impossible in the future!

What’s more, in my uncle’s time, the population of France was far greater than that of any other country! “Jérôme Bonaparte smashed Nierre’s illusion mercilessly.

However, Niel still “find” Jerome Bonaparte’s flaw, “Your Majesty, all your assumptions are that Germany is a whole, and as long as Germany is not a whole, then they can’t threaten us. !”

“Then who are you most likely to unify Germany?” Jerome Bonaparte asked rhetorically.

“Austria!” Niel replied without hesitation, an answer recognized by mainstream countries today, “The land they own is the largest in Germany, and they are also the chairman of the German Confederation!

In love and reason, they have the ability to unite! ”

“I don’t think so!” Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said to Nier: “Although the territory of the Austrian Empire is huge, the ethnic groups in their territory are too many and too complicated!

The rash reunification of Germany will not only not be their help, but may also be their reminder!

Besides, is Austria really willing to unify Germany? What benefits does Germany bring them?

If it is a market, the Austrian Empire itself has a huge market, so it does not need the supply of the German market at all.

Catering to German nationalism, this is not enough, there is enough nationalism in their country!

But Prussia is not the case, they need the German market, the need to connect the enclave of Prussia!

These are the driving force behind their unification of Germany! ”

“Your Majesty, in this way, the possibility of Prussia’s unification of Germany is indeed higher than that of Austria!

However, they want to connect to Inland and Prussia, so the Kingdom of Hanover will definitely be their goal!

The Kingdom of Great Britain should not care! ‘ said Niel to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Why should Britain care?” Jerome Bonaparte asked rhetorically. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

“Isn’t that the territory of the Hanoverian royal family?” Niel was stunned for a few seconds, then replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Niel, in Britain the royal family is the royal family, and the government is the government!” Jerome Bonaparte said to Niel: “The interests of the royal family do not necessarily represent the interests of the government!

If Queen Victoria is also the monarch of Hanover, the British government can still hold its nose and fight for the monarch’s honor.

Now the relationship between Britain and Hanover is only the friendship of the royal family, so why should Britain fight for the friendship of the royal family!

Moreover, letting the Kingdom of Prussia occupy the Kingdom of Hanover is also beneficial to the national strength of the Kingdom of Prussia and suppresses the French Empire!

Britain’s favorite thing to do is to keep Europe evenly matched.

Of course, if the Kingdom of Prussia wins over us, then the Kingdom of Great Britain will be wary of them!

Therefore, we must treat the Kingdom of Prussia as an imaginary enemy, ready to fight against them at any time! ”

Feeling a little brain-burning, Niel nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte: “Understood!”

“By the way! I asked you to survey the German region, how are you doing?” Jerome Bonaparte asked Niel again.

“Your Majesty, we have now surveyed parts of the territories of the Southern German vassals, Leyinland and the Kingdom of Hanover!

We will complete the survey of the rest of Germany in the next three years! ‘ Nierre responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Very good! Remember to mark their railroad and telegraph on the map, that information is just as important!”
