Napoleon II Reborn

(Chapter 1 arrives! There will be chapter 1 later)

On August 14, Kutuzov and others fled back to Paris in embarrassment. Their faces no longer had the kind of pride and ambition they had before, but only deep fear. But at the same time, after statistics, 320,000 of the 400,000 people who went out during the expedition actually escaped, which means that they only lost 80,000 people under the fierce attack of the Iberian army, which was even lower than this figure. For this, they still feel very fortunate, but at the same time they can't believe it.

"Where is the Iberian army attacking now, and how far is it from Paris?" Kutuzov asked a little decadently.

"It's very strange that they all retreated to Orleans and did not march to Paris." Grand Duke Charles replied. He is also very skeptical about the authenticity of this information. It stands to reason that the Iberian Army will not give up this good opportunity.

"How could this be? This is not in line with Andresi's character at all?" Wellington also said. When he was in Iberia, Xiao Jie's destructive tactics left a very deep impression on him.

"Maybe they don't want us to go to war at all. In Orleans, they just want to keep their current interests from being violated by us." Clausewitz guessed.

The three of Kutuzov looked at Clausewitz suspiciously, not knowing why he had such an idea.

"In Orleans, although we were defeated, Andresi must also know that it is impossible to completely eat our 600,000 troops. After all, they only have 300,000 people, and there are only 100,000 people in Orleans. It may also be He is afraid that his strength will be greatly affected after fighting us. The 300,000 people on the front line are all his elite. If any of these troops are lost, it will be difficult for him to compete with us in the future. Therefore, I guess he showed such a powerful force in Orleans, just to give us a warning, let us not provoke him, and everyone can keep the status quo.” Clausewitz analyzed.

"Is he willing to occupy only central and southern France, give up northern France, and give up Paris?" Grand Duke Charles asked his question. You must know that most of the economic centers of France are concentrated in northern France. Even if Xiao Jie occupied the central and southern parts of France, the benefits he gained would not be as great as those gained from occupying northern France.

"No, it is said that he is a very greedy person and will never give up northern France." Wellington said.

Clausewitz also nodded in agreement: "Yes, he will definitely not give up northern France. He will definitely continue to march north, but not now."

"That means we will have another battle sooner or later. Rather than dragging the war to a later date, we might as well fight it now." Kutuzov said, frowning.

"But if we start a full-scale war with Iberia now, we have no chance of winning. Iberia will also avoid the expansion of the war because of fear that it will not be able to bear the huge losses of the war." Clausewitz replied with a wry smile. Now they have gathered almost all the power of Europe, but they are forced to fight back by a country like Iberia, which is really ridiculous.

"Then what should we do? Should we continue to consume like this? It's impossible. Since the war has been going on for so long, our investment has been too great, and we can't support it any longer." Kutuzov said in a deep voice. He has just received an order from Alexander to find a way to end the war as soon as possible, and Russia is almost unable to hold on. But one thing he must pay attention to is that Russia's due interests in this war must be guaranteed.

Similarly, Clausewitz received the same order, before Kutuzov in time. Among the four major powers, Prussia is undoubtedly the weakest one. Up to now, not only the army has been completely lost, but the economy is also on the verge of collapse. The previous stage of the war was almost all carried out in the territory of Prussia, which caused great trauma to Prussia. King Friedrich William III of Prussia was eager to end this kind of war as soon as possible so that the already dying Kingdom of Prussia could gain Precious breathing time.

"The war has been going on for so long, and it's time to end." Clausewitz said with a sigh.

Kutuzov expressed his unconditional support for this point of view. Grand Duke Charles and Wellington looked at each other and finally agreed. Austria and the United Kingdom suffered less losses in the war than Russia and Prussia, so they still hope that the war will continue for a period of time and try to weaken the strength of Russia and Prussia. Although everyone is still an ally now, it is time to start thinking about the future. It's over.

"Then what should we do, send someone to ask the Iberians to negotiate and end the war?" Grand Duke Charlie said.

"There is no need to ask them at all. I think they will also have the same meaning. As long as we send a special envoy to express our desire for peace talks, they will definitely give a positive response." Clausewitz said with a smile. The war was coming to an end, and he was in a better mood.

Grand Duke Charles didn't say anything more, he is now thinking about fighting for Austria's interests during the peace talks. Several other people basically have the same idea. The war is about to end, and it's time to distribute the fruits of victory. It's just that due to Xiao Jie's intrusion, their fruit has been much smaller.

"What do you all think about this matter? Should we agree to negotiate with them?" After sending away the special envoy of the Anti-French Alliance, Xiao Jie found all his subordinates together.

"Although we have only participated in the war for one month, we have already achieved very large benefits. If we continue, we may achieve greater results, but the losses we pay will definitely be much greater. I think the war should go to this point. It can be over." Eck said first. He knew Xiao Jie's thoughts very well, so he catered to him.

"But it's a pity. Although they have 600,000 people, we can definitely kill them all, but the loss may be a bit large." Dougal said with some disappointment. After finally encountering such a large-scale war, it is a bit unsatisfying to end it like this.

"His Royal Highness, aren't you going to want the northern part of France and Paris?" Misend looked at Xiao Jie and asked. He knew that Xiao Jie would never be satisfied with occupying central and southern France.

"Hehe, of course. I can tell you very clearly that northern France will be ours soon." Xiao Jie didn't hide his ambition at all.

"But we will definitely not agree to the anti-French alliance when we march into northern France. Also, since it is a peace talk, a treaty will definitely be signed." Missen said with some concern.

"What if you don't agree? At worst, we'll fight again. As for the contract, I believe he won't be much harder than a woman's hymen." Xiao Jie said with a playful smile.

"Then why don't we go to war with them now? How easy is it to decide the outcome in one battle?" Dougal complained. In his opinion, under the fierce attack of the Iberian army, it will be a matter of time before the anti-French alliance fails. Why make things so complicated?

Xiao Jie smiled and didn't say anything, instead he looked at Eke and Misend, he believed that the two of them must be very clear about his intentions.

Sure enough, Eck explained for Dugor: "Although the strength of the Anti-French Alliance is not as strong as before, they still have 600,000 troops left, and we still have to pay a heavy price to kill them. What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants us to do is to take the northern part of France at the lowest cost. After the negotiations are over, the troops of the Anti-French Alliance will definitely withdraw to the country. There are much fewer now, and then our difficulty will be much smaller.”

"But they can send reinforcements from the country? Will we not have to face so many troops by then, or even more than now?" Dougal asked.

Misend said with a smile: "The Anti-French Alliance lost millions of troops in the war with Napoleon, and their national power also lost a lot. In a short period of time, they will definitely not be able to send troops to fight against us." ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When they regain their strength, we will basically digest France, so will we still be afraid of them?"

Only then did Du Geer understand, and at the same time he sighed a little, his young Crown Prince really thought far-reaching, but it was just a little despicable.

Both Kutuzov and Clausewitz were very happy with Xiao Jie's response to the kind message. They sent the news back to China and sent people to ask Xiao Jie to send someone to participate in the preparations before the formal peace talks. . After everyone's discussions, the venue of the peace talks was set in Paris, and the participants were also confirmed. Leaders and foreign ministers of all countries will participate in this negotiation. Similarly, in order to ensure Xiao Jie's safety in the process of participating in this negotiation, the Iberian side requested the 1st Division of the 88th Army to enter Paris and leave after the peace talks. But Kutuzov and the others are deeply aware of the strength of the 88th Army's combat power. It is easy to ask God to send God away, and it will be troublesome if the 1st Division of the 88th Army stays in Paris. After bargaining, an agreement is finally reached , During the peace talks, representatives of various countries participating in the peace talks will be able to bring a regiment of troops into Paris, and all other troops will have to retreat 50 kilometers away from Paris.

On September 8, heads of state gathered in Paris. Two days later, the Paris Peace Conference will officially kick off. (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in to .QDAN., more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
