2813 all the way north
Although Alfred and others were all nobles from the empire, they were also inferior nobles and could not enjoy the treatment of being the marshal as a gatekeeper on weekdays.
The officers quickly stood attentively and saluted, Marshal Bazan nodded, "Go in! I hope you are mentally prepared!"
Everyone's hearts were stuttering. No one knew what was going to happen, but it seemed serious enough!
After entering the door, they found that the French Emperor was paced back and forth anxiously by the window. There was a faint sound of cannons from the distance outside the window. The French army on the front line in the east had already had a fire with the Prussians, and both sides were conducting tentative artillery bombardment!
The Emperor did not look back, but said coldly, "The Prussians have arrived, the artillery battle has begun! How long do you think we can last?"
Alfred immediately stood attentively and saluted, "Your Majesty, our brave army will surely achieve the final victory, God bless France..."
"Okay, okay! Don't show your loyalty here. I know better than you!"
"Materials are scarce, ammunition is lacking, the morale of the army is dispersed, and even military discipline is gradually collapsed... and the rear is more dangerous than the front line, and the queen has sent several telegrams..."
"Do you know what the queen said? Alfred, you are the commander of the Queen's Cavalry!"
Alfred immediately raised his chest and folded his belly and replied proudly, "I will listen to the teachings of His Highness..."
Haha... The Emperor of the Fraud smiled bitterly and said, "Where is any teaching? My Eugenie is almost unable to hold on... She said it clearly that Sharon is the last limit for our retreat. From now on, the army will never retreat westward!"
"Paris is one hundred and fifty kilometers west of it. I originally wanted to return to Paris and use Paris's city defense and materials to fight a protracted war with the Prussians..."
"But the queen disagreed. She saw it clearly in Paris. Every time we take a step back, the people in Paris will be in chaos. If it is really withdrawn, the Great Revolution will break out immediately!"
"We have no choice but to retreat! Tens of millions of eyes are looking at us, we cannot retreat! Now there is only attack, only fighting to the death!"
"I'll ask you now, do cavalry warriors still have the courage to fight?"
The officers immediately stood at attention, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the imperial cavalry will always charge forward!"
Alfred followed and said, "Does your Majesty hope that all our cavalry will gather together and launch a quick strike on the enemy? Of course we have the courage to fight, but we hope to provide more firepower to the artillery..."
The Emperor waved his hand fiercely, "No artillery, no heavy machine guns, and even no cooperation from infantry! You don't want anything, you can only fight with war horses, rifles and sabers!"
Alfred's heart trembled at that time, and he said, "If it's broken, is it because we want to be bait to die?"
But immediately after the Emperor, the answer was revealed, "I don't want you to attack east, I want you to attack north!"
"To the north?" The officers were immediately confused.
At this time, Prince Eugen stood up and said, "Yes, with Alfred as the commander-in-chief, we will gather the main force of the Queen's Cavalry and my Prince's Cavalry, and then select elite cavalry from the Imperial Guards and local forces!"
"Alfred can choose between about ten thousand troops, you, Alfred, can choose freely!"
"Give up heavy firepower and there is no support from infantry. You can only carry limited ammunition... Go north, cross north, and kill directly into Belgium!"
"Don't be shocked! The mission we give you is related to the life and death of the empire!"
"We have obtained the latest information. The head of the Chinese clan... Xiao Letian... has now left the battle sequence of the Pu army, so he hid in Belgium to watch the battle!"
"Just in Sny, just north of Serandon!"
The Emperor of the Fraud punched the windowsill, "That's right! I want you to kill, wipe out the Chinese army as fast as possible, and capture Xiao Letian alive!"
"As long as we can control Xiao Letian, we can force the Prussians to negotiate! This is the task I give you!"
Ah! Everyone exclaimed, "Xiao Letian is in Belgium? Is the intelligence reliable?"
"Don't doubt the source of the Empire's intelligence, you only need to execute orders! I just ask if you have confidence?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the cavalry will always charge forward!"
The Emperor stretched out his hand and pulled out his cane from the desk. This was his beloved thing he had followed him for many years. The ivory handle carved the badge of the Second Empire.
"Hold it! Hold my scepter! I authorize you to act cheaply during the mission! All troops and places must cooperate with you, I just need you to complete the mission!"
Alfred was already filled with tears of excitement. He held the emperor's cane in his hands and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured... The cavalry will definitely fulfill his mission!"
"Very good, go to the reorganization of the troops! Let's go tonight! Get rid of you..."
Alfred left the town hall with the emperor's order, and soon the cavalry camp outside the city became a mess.
At this moment, there were about 200,000 troops around the Emperor, including more than 30,000 cavalrymen. Alfred wanted to select the most elite ten thousand people from it.
There are so many people to choose from in the ratio of three to one!
"The only son in the family retreats! The nobleman is a nobleman!"
"The veterans who have more than three years of military experience move forward, and the rest retreat!"
Alfred held the emperor's scepter and rode his horse in front of the team! With the orders, cavalrymen retreated from the array from time to time.
Alfred knew that this mission was of great significance, so he decided to build the most elite cavalry team, an elite force with the children of aristocrats as the core.
If someone in France is the most loyal to the emperor at this moment, it is naturally the aristocratic class!
With an emperor, there is a noble class. Without an emperor, the nobles are nothing!
Cavalry has been a noble branch of military service since ancient times, especially favored by the nobles' children, and the imperial guard system is the place where the nobles take root.
Soon a cavalry team composed of veterans and noble children took shape!
Alfreddy held his scepter and shouted, "Did you see it? Your Majesty authorized me to lead you to carry out the most dangerous mission!"
"You should understand the current crisis of the empire, the morale of the army has been severely collapsed, and the soldiers in the city are almost turning into bandits!"
"Who can Your Majesty rely on at this time? Only our nobles and veterans group! Only we can save this empire!"
"Comrades! Please remember firmly that we are not fighting for the empire this time, we are fighting for our interests!"
"We must tell the world through our brilliant achievements, tell the conspirators, regicides, rebellious thugs and untouchables!"
"Who is the elite of a country! Who is the master of history! Who is the backbone of the nation!"
Alfred shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's always us! The elites come to rule and save this world, and it's definitely not those thugs and rioters!"
"For the Empire and for ourselves! Follow the military flag to the north! There is only one who fights to the death!"
Tens of thousands of cavalry in the camp were all inspired, especially the more than 10,000 elite soldiers selected were even more powerful!
"Long live the empire! Long live the emperor!"
