2725 The Emperor flees
Since the Great Revolution, France has been coups, and the Republic has also taken turns to power. The First Republic overthrew Louis XVI, and the Second Republic overthrew the Orleans dynasty, followed by Napoleon's coup and restored the imperial system.
Then Napoleon defeated the Republic and successfully restored the country. Then Napoleon's nephew started a coup, and led the soldiers and old nobles who surrounded him, and then set up an empire.
A series of political systems change as fast as a revolving lantern, which gives people the feeling of impermanence in the world. No one can guarantee that any political system will last forever. All smart people are thinking about how to place bets on both sides, and people's hearts are inconsistent, which is also an important reason for France's defeat.
The war has reached this point, and Napoleon III actually started to think about preserving his strength. He thought it was France when his uncle was exiled for the first time!
There are cars in front and paths behind. In front, Emperor Napoleon was supported by soldiers. He could successfully reach the top even after being exiled. How similar is the current situation to that time?
The current situation of the Franco-Prussian War seems to be very unfavorable to the French Emperor. Should we continue to fight hard to gain a glimmer of hope? Or should we preserve our strength and learn from our uncle's experience and wait for a comeback?
This account is actually not difficult to calculate at all!
It is said that the Emperor still has 500,000 elite soldiers in his hands, which may be an exaggerated description of the two old generals, and it is just their heart for Emperor An.
But at this moment, the number of 300,000 veterans in the hands of the Emperor is very reliable, and there are only more and more, not less!
The veterans who have fought for 300,000 battles! They were all trained by the Emperor and raised them for more than ten years. Some of them have been ate the Emperor's military pay for half their lives.
These veterans will no longer do anything except killing people with the Emperor of Pharaoh. These people cannot survive in society because they have no skills, which is a group of unstable factors.
The soldiers also knew their situation, so they did not care how loud the various slogans were shouted outside the military camp and how various ideas were flooded, and it was true that they could protect their jobs.
Be loyal to the emperor. If the emperor asks me to kill anyone, it doesn’t matter even if I am my own compatriots. This is the value of 300,000 loyal veterans!
Napoleon III knew very well that using these 300,000 veterans to fight Prussia, they might win, but in the end they would be a situation where two people were disabled.
It would be better... At this time, the Emperor of the French had been thinking about it. It would be better to passively avoid war and make peace with Prussia. There might be a revolution in Paris and a republic would appear again.
But... as long as your family is safe and your son is safe, there are more than 300,000 loyal veterans.
With just one order, Eury Rinponaparte may not be able to restore the future!
Just those republicans and workers left can govern the country well? What a joke, look at the people they killed during the Great Revolution, look at the chaos they caused, and then the people will still have my own share.
This is the true little thought of the Emperor during the retreat. Of course, he still has to fight properly. He will not surrender even before the war reaches its final stage.
But the necessary retreat must be prepared in advance. Can you learn everything from your uncle?
Taking advantage of the night, the French Emperor and his army retreated from Metz and retreated to the southwest of Chalon, which was only more than 100 kilometers away from Paris.
The entire retreat plan fully reflects the Emperor's conspiracy. He arranged the retreat plan based on the closeness and estrangement of the troops and his own loyalty.
The troops who followed him for the longest and most reliable were the first to leave the battlefield, while the local garrisons that later supported him were placed in the last sequence.
They had to continue to fight with the Pu army and buy time for the retreat of the Emperor.
In the night, the French garrison suddenly attacked the entire line, and took advantage of the night to launch a large-scale charge towards the positions of the Pu army, and shouts of killing erupted on the front dozens of miles at the same time.
At this time, Xiao Letian had not yet rested. He was alarmed by the sudden change. Not far from the camp, there was a tall wooden observation tower. He ran up. At this time, Sima Yun and Wang Huai were already watching the battle above.
"The French army suddenly launched a full-line attack. Judging from the scale, it has invested at least 80,000 people!" Sima Yun said and handed the telescope to Xiao Letian.
The telescope's vision is dark, and only the firelight outlines the outline of the war. At this time, we can only judge the situation on the battlefield based on experience.
"Be good, it's blooming from all sides! All positions have been fired? I'm promptly informing the old Maoqi and the others that the emperor is going to escape. This is a feint attack to cover his escape!"
The three of them rushed to meet Besme and Moltke. At this time, the Central Army Command was in chaos. Various battlefield intelligence gathered together and turned into countless data on the sand table.
"Chief of the General Staff, order the pursuit! Napoleon III is going to escape! He is a feint attack!" Xiao Letian shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.
Bisme frowned and said, "Yes, I think the possibility of a feint attack is very high, but I directly mobilized nearly 100,000 people to attack. Is this a large scale?"
"Don't hesitate! Just ask the front-line commander to see how the tactical cooperation of these enemies is? How is the morale? I'm sure these soldiers are absolutely not good at combat effectiveness!"
"These are all second-tier troops in France. What the French Emperor wants is that his own lineage is not damaged, so he is reluctant to let his hundreds of thousands of veterans die!"
"As long as there are no veterans in this wave of attacks, then it is certain that the Emperor of the Fox escaped!"
With a bang, the old Moltke smashed his fist on the table, "No, the Emperor escaped! The diplomatic breakthrough may have been disillusioned. He is going to escape back to Paris!"
"Order the pursuit! Live him before he escapes back to Paris!"
"Wait!" Xiao Letian suddenly reached out and stopped the Chief of Staff. "No, there is something wrong with your analysis. The French Emperor will definitely not dare to retreat to Paris!"
"Why? Give me a reason!" Hearing Xiao Letian scolded him for being wrong, Mao Qi was a little angry even though he was well-educated.
Xiao Letian couldn't control so much at this time. "The reason is very simple. The situation in Paris can no longer tolerate the Emperor! Under pressure, the queen agreed that the leaders of the workers' movement and the republicans would form the 800,000 National Self-Defense Forces!"
"Paris is now on the eve of the storm of the Great Revolution. As long as the Emperor dares to retreat to Paris, it will be the moment he will go to the guillotine!"
"Can he follow Louis XVI's old path? He seeks death? He can escape as far as he can!"
At this time, Bismey also agreed with Xiao Letian's analysis. "Yes, I have the same judgment. From the perspective of a politician, Napoleon III has absolutely no possibility of returning to Paris!"
"I can even guess that Queen Eugenie should have begun to prepare to pack her property. She should have made the last plan to escape from Paris!"
