Napoleon II Reborn

"Of course, Marshal Berthier is the one to ask about the number of soldiers. I remember that the Ministry of War seems to have started recruiting recruits. I just need to pick some out of the 50,000 recruits. I think Marshal Berthier will be very happy." Help me with this." Xiao Jie said with a sly smile.

"Oh, it turns out that you were planning on recruiting these recruits. You must know that these recruits are the supplementary forces of the legions. If you lose a quarter of them at once, the other marshals will be unhappy." Napoleon Len reminded.

"You don't have to worry about that, I will coordinate with them. Wouldn't it be enough to ask the Ministry of War to recruit another batch of recruits? Anyway, they have to reserve troops for this war." Xiao Jie said nonchalantly.

When Napoleon heard what Xiao Jie said, he didn't say anything anymore. Let him do what Xiao Jie wanted to do.

On August 14, Xiao Jie and Napoleon returned to Paris together. After warming up with Angel, from the 15th, he devoted himself to the expansion of the legion. On the way back to Paris, he reached an agreement with Berthier. Berthier promised to let Xiao Jie take a group of recruits, but Xiao Jie needed to pay the price of 20 heavy machine guns and 20 75mm field guns. Napoleon also took this opportunity to extort 30 heavy machine guns and 30 75mm field guns from Xiao Jie to equip the Imperial Guards. If the output of these two weapons was not high, they would probably ask for more .

In order to solve the production problem of heavy machine guns and 75mm field guns, Xiao Jie promoted the standardized production method of later generations in Andresi Armory, and made standard regulations for all parts, which finally improved the productivity of these two weapons. Quite a few, reaching 80 and 60 per month. In addition to being able to cope with the expansion of the 88th Army, there are also a small number of heavy machine guns, 75mm field guns and other new weapons that can be supplied to other armies. Of course, this is not the case. It's free, and all of them need money to buy, and the price is not cheap, basically a 100% profit. In Xiao Jie's words, who told him to support the entire 88th Army Corps? Otherwise, how could he have so much spare money.

With the help of the Ministry of War, Xiao Jie quickly sent people to the new barracks to select more than 12,000 people who were relatively good. After all the soldiers arrived, Xiao Jie began to reorganize the army. The entire legion was reorganized into six regiments, each with a total of 2,500 people, plus the heavy artillery battalion directly under the legion (in July, the research institute successfully developed a 105mm howitzer with a range of 4 kilometers, but due to the fact that It was too heavy and required six horses to pull it. In addition, the road conditions in Europe at this time were too bad, so Xiao Jie did not request to produce more cannons of this caliber. His heavy artillery battalion was only equipped with eight such cannons in total. Cannons. As long as they are ready to be used in siege warfare), guard battalions, engineer battalions, communication battalions and field hospitals, the total number of legions will reach more than 18,000 people.

Each regiment is divided into 3 battalions and troops directly under the regiment, including an artillery platoon equipped with 3 75mm field guns, an artillery platoon equipped with 6 newly developed 60mm mortars, an engineering platoon, a guard platoon, a The communication platoon, a small field hospital, is fully staffed with a total of more than 2,500 people.

Each battalion is composed of 700 people, divided into three infantry companies and a fire support group equipped with two 60 mortars, as well as guards, communications, engineers, health teams, etc.

Each company has 200 people, including three infantry platoons and a fire support group equipped with 2 37 mortars and 2 Maxim heavy machine guns, as well as guards, communications, engineers, health teams, etc.

Each platoon has 50 people, including three infantry squads and a fire support group equipped with a 37 mortar and a Maxim heavy machine gun, as well as a small number of signal soldiers, engineers and health workers.

There are 12 people in each squad, including a squad leader and deputy squad leader, and a sniper. Except for the sniper, all are equipped with 1806 rifles, equipped with 300 rounds of bullets and 6 grenades.

The reorganization of the Legion is going very smoothly. The next period of time will be for the soldiers to get familiar with the new weapons and the running-in training between the various units. Since time is running out, the training of the 88th Legion is also very heavy. , especially those recruits who were exhausted enough, but fortunately the treatment of the 88th Legion was very good, which enabled many people to continue to persevere.

*********************The legendary dividing line********************** *********************

Sassnitz is a small Prussian city on the edge of the Baltic Sea. The residents of the small town mainly rely on fishing, providing food and fresh water for passing merchant ships, and accommodation. On the morning of August 15th, the fishermen drove their small boats out to sea for a day of hard work. A three-masted fast boat slowly sailed into the port of Sassnitz. This is very abnormal, because most of them At this time, the merchant ships continued on the road in the morning after staying in this port for one night, so the current port is very empty.

After the clipper boat landed, a group of people walked out of the boat in single file. The leader was an old man in his fifties who looked like he was in his fifties with a civilized stick and a top hat. Next to him was a young man with a briefcase, and the rest of the people knew they were bodyguards because they always surrounded the old man among them.

About 5 minutes later, a luxurious carriage protected by a group of soldiers came in from outside the port. Several people got into the carriage. Then quickly left the port under the protection of the soldiers. It was the first time for the residents of the small town to see this kind of battle, and they all speculated that some important people came here, because there were also a few people like this who came here yesterday, and some people could tell from the accents of those people that they were Russian.

Half an hour later, in the luxurious meeting room of the Mellon Hotel, the most exclusive hotel in Sassnitz, the old man who just got off the boat today and two other people of similar age were sitting around a round table. Behind each of them sat a secretary of a certain age, taking minutes of the meeting.

It turns out that these three old men are not ordinary people. They are Count Claude, the Prussian foreign minister, Makovsky, the bearded Russian foreign minister, and Lord Smeigley, the British deputy foreign minister who just arrived today.

As the host, Earl Claude spoke first: "Today the three of us are sitting together representing a great country, and all this is caused by our greedy neighbors. We Prussia have always maintained the status quo in previous wars." Holy neutrality, but now, our neighbors regard our peace-loving wishes as cowardice. Their power has even penetrated into our heart, Berlin, which has seriously endangered the safety of Prussia. Europe has experienced too many wars Yes, the people want peace. Therefore, in order to achieve permanent peace in Europe as soon as possible, I propose that the great Kingdom of Prussia, the British Empire and the Russian Empire should form an alliance to jointly curb the expansion of France, and let the dawn of peace return to Europe. piece of land."
