Napoleon II Reborn
Chapter 336: The Royal Family's Escape (Part 1)
(According to the announcement issued by the Seismological Bureau, there are still aftershocks of magnitude around 1. I don’t know when it will happen. I will write a chapter first. If there is nothing to do at night, there will be another chapter. If there is, then there will only be a chapter today, because that It’s time for Xiaoyu to flee for his life)
On June 23, the 4th, 5th, and 6th Infantry Divisions of the 89th Corps, together with the 1st Marine Division, completely defeated Wellington's army in Dover, began to march towards Maidstone, and captured it on the morning of the second day. here. By June 24, three French teams were not far from London. Among them, the western front army has already been in Andover, preparing to attack Reading, an important city in the west of London. The center line army has reached Guildford, and it is only 50 kilometers away from London. It is the closest to London among the three armies. The Eastern Front Army will take a brief rest at Maidstone. Afterwards, they will divide into two groups, attacking Croydon, a city in south London, and directly attacking London, threatening London from the east.
On the night of June 24th, Tuileries Palace, Xiao Jie's office.
"The two of you came to look for me together. Is there something wrong with the front line?" Xiao Jie asked. As far as he knows, the war in Britain is going very smoothly now, and the troops are advancing steadily. There should be no major incidents, so he wonders why Dougal and Eke will come to him at this time.
"Your Majesty, everything is fine on the front line. The Eastern Front is also very stable. Both Russia and Austria are taking time to recover their strength, and our army is also taking time to rest. The British war is also going smoothly, and the troops have begun to press towards London. We have entered, and the center line troops have reached Guildford, which is less than 50 kilometers away from London." Eck reported to Xiao Jiehui.
"Then I really can't think of why you two came to me." Xiao Jie said leaning on the sofa. You must know that now is his private rest time.
"That's right, Your Majesty. Although our war in England went very smoothly and we wiped out hundreds of thousands of British troops, the losses of our army were also very large. The total number of the three troops was only about 150,000. Yes, and the British army still has hundreds of thousands of troops, so they are under great pressure. Now our army is approaching London, but if we want to conquer London, I think their number alone is far from enough , so I think I should send another support army to the UK." Dugel explained his purpose.
Xiao Jie also knew that it would be very difficult to swallow Britain with 200,000 people alone, but he never thought that reinforcements would have to be sent now. "If we want to increase our troops, which troops should we send? There is a premise, that is, we can only do so under the condition that the Eastern Front cannot be shaken." Xiao Jie said after thinking for a while. Now France's military strength is not enough, mainly because most of its military strength has been restrained on the Eastern Front, and it is impossible to transfer excess troops to the United Kingdom.
"We will not have large-scale conflicts with Russia and Austria on the Eastern Front in a short period of time. Even if there are, the few legions we stationed on the Eastern Front are enough to deal with it." Eck said.
"Then which legion are you going to transfer to England?" Xiao Jie asked. In fact, he has already thought of which legion to send to the UK for reinforcements. It is nothing more than the 1st French Army that has been withdrawn to France for rest. Davout has asked several times to go to the UK. If there is no part of his troops to reinforce the UK this time , then he still hasn't made a fuss.
"As far as the current situation is concerned, I discussed with Ike. Marshal Davout's French 1st Army should be the most suitable unit." Dougal said after taking a look at Eke. From his eyes, Xiao Jie Obviously found a trace of fear, I believe it is the fear left after being entangled by Dawu for many times.
"French 1st Legion? Well, now, apart from the 88th Legion, they are the only ones that have no combat missions." Xiao Jie finally said. "Then let's do this. Notify Davout immediately so that his troops are ready to land in Britain in the shortest possible time and strive to end the war in Britain as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Marshal Davout has already made preparations. This morning, the French 1st Army Corps has already left for Calais, and various military supplies are also being rushed there. Britain has landed." Eck smiled wryly. He has been pestered by Davout a lot lately. As soon as he agreed to Davout's request today, he immediately ordered the army resting in Reims to march towards Calais, and he himself rushed to Calais to join the army.
"Your Majesty, I have another proposal. After Marshal Davout arrives in the UK, can we let him set up a former enemy headquarters in the UK and let him take full command of the British war. Now the British war is basically controlled by our general staff However, we don’t know much about the battle situation on the British front, so there will inevitably be some mistakes. If Marshal Davout is directly in command in the UK, all these problems can be solved.” Dougal suddenly suggested road.
Xiao Jie thought about it, and finally agreed to their suggestion. Paris has been commanding the battles on the British front. Although the use of telegraphs makes communication very convenient, there are still many disadvantages. Although there is General Monty, the commander of the 89th Legion in the UK at this time, he is now mainly in charge of the battle on the Western Front, and it may not be enough for him to be in charge of the overall situation. If Davu were to go, it would be most suitable for him to shoulder the burden, since he is also a very good general after all. "Well then, Marshal Davout will be the commander-in-chief of the British frontline, and Admiral Monty will be the deputy commander-in-chief. The two of them will take full command of the British war. From then on, the general staff will only provide logistics for the British frontline. help from the Internet, and no longer ask about the specific battle." Xiao Jie said. Subsequently, an order was issued officially appointing Davout and Monty as the chief and deputy commanders-in-chief of the British front.
On the morning of June 25th, the British Secretary of War Hammurabi had to come to the office that made him extremely tired. Since the start of the war, bad news has come one by one, especially since yesterday, the southern defense line has been breached across the board, and the French army has begun to approach the United Kingdom, which has increased his pressure a lot.
"Marshal, the news just came from France. Last night, the 1st French Legion took the train overnight and all arrived in Calais. It seems that France wants to put them into the battlefield of our country." A major general officer held a After receiving the information, he quickly walked into Hammurabi's office.
"What?" After receiving the information from the officer, Hammurabi slumped on the chair after reading it. Now that the French army in Britain is too much for them to handle, another legion will let them live. ? To make matters worse, the French 1st Army will land in England, which is definitely a disaster for Britain.
"No, I have to report this news to Your Excellency the Prime Minister immediately." Hammurabi stood up and said. Just as he was about to go out, a guard walked in: "Marshal, Your Excellency the Prime Minister sent someone to invite you to the Prime Minister's Office, saying that there is an urgent meeting to be held."
"Yes, I see." Hammurabi said. Then he tidied up his clothes and set off with the guards.
Hammurabi's army land was not very far from the prime minister's office, it was only a street away, and it took only 15 minutes for Hammurabi to arrive there.
Going directly to the meeting room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Hammurabi saw that people from all other ministries had arrived, except for the Minister of the Interior. After Hammurabi arrived, Prime Minister Liverpool stood up and said, "Okay, now everyone is here except the Minister of the Interior, Marquis Williams. Time is running out, so we won't wait for him."
Under the auspices of Liverpool, the meeting began: "The war has been going on for more than 10 days, and everyone must be very clear that our army has suffered a crushing defeat and lost a large number of troops. Now the French army is approaching London. The army is less than 50 kilometers away from London. Fortunately, this army has only 30,000 people, and it has been resisted by our army. However, the two important cities of Reading and Croydon have also been violently attacked by the French army. If we can't resist their attack, then London will be surrounded by the French army on three sides, and the situation is very unfavorable to us. Now, everyone should think carefully about what we should do to restore the decline."
"Your Excellency Hammurabi, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I would like to know how many troops we have now, and how many French troops are there? Will we be able to finally defeat the French army?" Lord Smegle, the foreign minister, first asked . Now, most of them only know about the continuous defeats on the front line, how many British troops are left, and how many French troops are there, they don't know at all.
"Your Excellency, our army currently has 9 integrated divisions, which are distributed in Ireland, Wales and Scotland. In England, almost all the troops have suffered losses, and none of the divisions is full. Of course, those recruits who have just been recruited Divisions are not counted. Now we have about 280,000 people in England, but their organization is very chaotic. When the French army landed in our country, there were more than 200,000 people, and now there are about 150,000 people." Hammurabi Said.
"Then can we resist the attack of the French army?" Smegley continued to ask. He no longer asked whether he could beat the French, because he knew it was impossible.
"It's very difficult. In addition, everyone, I have to tell you another very regrettable news, that is, we have just received information that another French army, the 1st French Army, has arrived in Calais and is preparing to land in our country." Hamm Rabbi continued.
Everyone was shocked, including Liverpool, and many people's faces were full of despair. They knew what this meant to the UK.
