Make France Great Again - Chapter 896
In the face of Niel’s explanation, Minister Wayan, who has a conservative military style, is reluctant to believe anything.
“Chief of the General Staff Niel, can you guarantee that your tactics must be more suitable for the army than our current tactical system?” Minister Wayan asked the Chief of the General Staff of Niel unceremoniously.
After being silent for a moment, Niel shook his head and responded to Minister Wayan: “Every change in the military system will be accompanied by certain risks!
So I can’t guarantee that the tactical system must be better than the tactics we are implementing! ”
“Since you can’t guarantee this, then why do we take the risk of reforming!” Minister Wayan then asked the Chief of General Staff Nier: “The tactical system we are implementing now is through Algeria and Crimea. After the war, the tactical system was drawn!
I believe this system will still work even if our army is using “enema guns” (the rhetoric of Minister Wayan mocking breech guns)!
The so-called breech gun tactical system is different from the breech gun tactical system, it’s just your rhetoric! ”
Minister Wayan’s sharp rebuttal made Nière silent for a long time.
Minister Wayan is right, replacing a tactical system that has been tested in two large-scale wars with a brand-new tactical system is indeed difficult for people to accept.
In particular, this tactical system is still a system that has not undergone actual combat at all.
Seeing that Chief Niel did not speak, Minister Wayan chased after the victory: “Also, Chief Niel! If I guess correctly, the inspiration for your new tactical system should come from the First Republic period!
“There is indeed something to learn from!” Niel turned around and admitted, and then explained: “However, there was a big difference between the First Republic and now!
The Mauser rifle is not comparable to the Charleville 1776 or even the Mignet rifle in terms of shooting speed, shooting accuracy and distance.
Therefore, the Mauser rifle can eliminate some of the shortcomings of the skirmish line, and the distance between each soldier can effectively reduce the casualties of our frontal attack! ”
As soon as the voice of the Chief of General Staff Nierre fell, Minister Wayan repeated the question that Nierre asked Jerome Bonaparte before.
The Chief of the General Staff of Niel also told the Minister of Wayan the answer that Jerome Bonaparte had given to General Wayan.
“So it is!” Minister Wayan instantly realized something, “No wonder, in the military reform report you submitted, the artillery was required to train the ability to move quickly and fire at any time!”
“During the First Empire, our artillery was able to do just that!
I firmly believe that in the Second Reich our artillery can do the same.
When I took people to visit the artillery drill of the Paris Military District today, I found that our artillery was like a live target set in place, and there was no way to talk about mobility!
This situation needs to be improved! ‘ said Chief Niel in a stern tone.
Minister Wayan did not refute Chief Niel’s words, because in his mind, the artillery of the Empire was indeed a little out of shape.
When he joined the army, the mobility and accuracy of the artillery of the First Empire can be said to be the first in Europe.
However, after the restoration of Bourbon and Orleans, the mobility of artillery dropped significantly, and the accuracy was also much worse than that of the First Empire.
The French Empire really should reorganize its artillery units a little, otherwise, Napoleon’s Empire might face the risk of falling behind in artillery.
“It is indeed an urgent matter to rectify the artillery unit!” Minister Wayan first affirmed Niel’s actions in the artillery year, and then said to Niel: “But I agree with you to rectify the artillery unit, not Means I agree with you to change our existing tactical system!”
“If I say, this tactical system is the conclusion reached by His Majesty the Emperor and me after consultation together!
Do you still want to reject it? Minister Wayan! “Chief of the General Staff Niel had to move out of his “killer”.
Hearing that Jerome Bonaparte’s participation in Minister Wayan’s expression changed, he immediately realized the difficulty of the problem.
If His Majesty the Emperor is really involved, then this tactical system may really have to be implemented.
“Even if you have obtained the consent of His Majesty the Emperor, I will still oppose it!” Minister Wayan still insisted with gritted teeth.
“Since that’s the case, then only the two of us can only be judged by His Majesty the Qing Emperor!” Chief Niel couldn’t help but admire Minister Wayan in his heart.
Even though General Wayan denied some of the content of his military reforms, General Wayan was also a general worthy of admiration because he was able to say the words just now.
After all, not everyone can carry out under the pressure of the emperor.
“Okay! Just do it!” Minister Wayan replied to Chief Niel.
Then, Chief of General Staff Niel and Minister Wayan agreed to go to the Tuin-lely Palace together on the next morning to seek the judgment of Emperor Jerome Bonaparte.
Immediately, Chief Niel returned to the General Staff, and Minister Wayan also left the War Department in a carriage.
…
The next morning, Chief of General Staff Niel and Minister Wayan arrived at the Tuin-lely Palace at the agreed time.
Seeing this, Basilio hurriedly ran in front of Niel and Wayan, and enthusiastically asked why Niel and Wayan came here!
“Chief of the General Staff Niel and I have something to talk to His Majesty the Emperor, please report it immediately!
Minister Wayan said to Basilio with a slight perfunctory.
After Basilio heard it, he immediately responded to Minister Wayan with a smile: “Your Excellency, it’s really unfortunate! Your Majesty is still talking with the guests in the study room.
If you and His Excellency Chief of Staff Niel don’t mind, can you wait for a while! ”
“I have no opinion!” Niel immediately responded to Basilio.
“I can too!” Minister Wayan also replied opposite Basilio.
“Thank you for your understanding!” Basilio said politely, bowing to Minister Wayan and Chief of General Staff Niel.
Under the leadership of Basilio, Minister Wayan and Chief of General Staff Niel came to a guest room in the Tuinleli Palace and waited.
Basilio closed the door for them kindly, and then went straight to the drawing room where Jerome Bonaparte was.
At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was also sitting on the sofa in the living room of the Tuin Leli Palace, with his legs crossed, talking with the guests on the other side of the sofa.
And this guest is none other than the post envoy Farohe Han Armin Morke who came all the way from Constantinople.
Arriving in Paris from Constantinople, he was summoned by Jerome Bonaparte after only one night’s rest.
What Jérôme Bonaparte discussed with the envoy Post today is also very simple, that is, what price the envoy Post is willing to pay to end the war.
The envoy of Post told Jerome Bonaparte that they were willing to give up the territorial sovereignty of the Principality of Herat and the Herat region in exchange for the armistice of the British Kingdom.
“Impossible!” Jerome Bonaparte shook his head decisively and said to Post: “It is impossible for Britain to agree to your armistice condition, your condition is not a condition for them at all!
The territorial sovereignty of the Principality of Herat and the city of Herat, whether you admit it or not has little impact on them!
Are you really going to be locked in a port for the rest of your life? ”
After listening to Jerome Bonaparte’s words, Post’s expression changed, and he hurriedly asked Jerome Bonaparte how Britain could agree to make peace with them!
Jerome Bonaparte was about to speak when a knock came from outside the room.
“Come in, please!” said Jerome Bonaparte, turning to the people outside the room.
“Your Majesty!” Basilio entered the room and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
“Tell me! What’s the matter?” Jerome Bonaparte asked Bacio, patting the armrest lightly with his hand.
Basilio came to Jerome Bonaparte and whispered to Jerome Bonaparte that Minister Wayon and Chief of General Staff Niel had arrived.
Hearing this unexpected and reasonable news, Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said to Basilio: “Let them wait for 15 minutes, I’m almost done!”
How could the envoy of Post sitting beside Jerome Bonaparte not understand what Jerome Bonaparte meant, he hurriedly said to Jerome Bonaparte: “Your Majesty, I’m sorry for disturbing you. It’s gone!”
“It’s nothing!” Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and responded to the ambassador: “Let’s continue talking?”
Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte began to make a quick decision. He told the envoy Post that according to what he knew about Britain, the bottom line for Britain should be for them to completely give up on Herat and even Afghanistan territory. Sovereignty, at the same time, the British Kingdom has a high probability of wanting to obtain some privileges in the Kaigar Kingdom.
As long as Persia can agree to the two points of the Kingdom of Britain at the same time, then Britain will most likely agree to this matter.
“If you can hold on for a while, I think the conditions in Britain will be more relaxed!” Jerome Bonaparte once again ridiculed the ambassador.
“Why?” Post envoy looked at Jerome Bonaparte suspiciously.
“The leader of this war is Prime Minister Palmerston, and now he is about to be impeached because of this war!” Jerome Bonaparte casually made up a reason to perfunctory Post envoy.
He didn’t dare to tell Ambassador Post that the reason why he let them hold on for a while was because in a month’s time, the great Indian uprising was coming.
Once the Indian uprising began, Britain had to deploy all its forces to suppress India.
At that time, even if they wanted to stay in Persian territory, they had to leave in the great Indian uprising.
