On the outskirts of Paris, the capital of the French Empire, the emperor's office in the Palace of Versailles.

Shortly after pursuing enjoyment, Levi, who stabilized the situation in Paris, made people redecorate the prosperous Versailles in his favorite style, and then used it as his "second residence".

When Levi was tired of staying in Paris, he would come to Versailles to live and work.

The ministers of the cabinet government naturally need to follow Li Wei, but generally Li Wei will only meet those important cabinet ministers. Unless there is a major incident, other cabinet ministers only need to submit copy to Li Wei's attendant.

Of course, as the master of a military empire, the cabinet ministers that Li Wei met the most were the director of the General Administration of Military Information and the Minister of the Army.

In particular, Manid, director of the General Administration of Military Intelligence, has been approved to report the latest domestic and foreign news to Li Wei anytime and anywhere without the privilege of directly meeting Li Wei.

Today, Manide took a carriage all the way to Versailles Palace and reported great news to Li Wei!

Since the outbreak of the Third Anti-French War, due to the excessive number of Li Wei's opponents and strong military strength, the Spanish Kingdom in the south has also dispersed troops to fight harassment wars from time to time, which has prevented the French Empire from pulling back the troops on the southern defense line, resulting in the French Empire not having a situation that is unstoppable.

The most important thing is that the opponents of the French Empire have been abused by Li Wei, and they basically have no more than ten times the force of troops. They will never fight field battles with the French National Wehrmacht, whether it is field battles in jungle and mountain or plains, they are included!

Since the war started, the third anti-French alliance has always been in a defensive position, even if the anti-French alliance army has absolute superior force and firepower!

In order to prevent the breakthrough of the French Defence Force, the Anti-French Alliance built dense fortifications in all towns and transportation points that could be used for large armies, and was very "fascinated" with civil engineering work.

The chest base was built higher (low inside and high outside, the higher here is only for the outside), the trench was built wider (the trench in this era was built deep but not very useful, so I put a few thick wooden boards over it), and I also put a lot of effort into shooting hole baffles.

In order to kill the French Defence Forces as much as possible before receiving the enemy, the Anti-French Alliance gathered all the soldiers with good marksmanship in the entire army, distributed high-quality and higher-precision smoothbore guns and even front-mounted rifled guns, and then arranged them at various shooting positions of the fortifications.

These shooting positions are specially set. There is a hole or a stone in the middle of a thick iron-clad wooden board that is enough to protect the "sniper soldiers" with good shooting skills to the greatest extent.

In addition, these shooting positions are often arranged in higher terrain, and a large number of ordinary private defenses are arranged around each shooting position. Even if the enemy breaks through other areas, these shooting positions must be enough to last longer.

In fact, these shooting positions are a bit similar to the original bunker, but the arrangement is not a machine gun, but a few scattered soldiers with good shooting skills.

In the era of queuing and shooting, such small bunkers have very low cost performance in defensive battles. After all, with the speed of shooting of a smoothbore gun, can a single person shoot out ten bullets in a battle with a scattered soldier with good marksmanship?

On the contrary, the manpower and material resources consumed by building such a small fortress are much higher than ordinary chest defense lines!

So, this is a practice that is not worth the effort.

Weapons restrict the emergence of bunker fortifications.

However, the French Defense Forces' self-destruction tactics that frightened the anti-French alliance forced the anti-French alliance to use this "stupid method" to strengthen the fortifications as much as possible.

For the anti-French Allied Forces, every French Defence Army soldier is a potential barrel of explosives. Every time a French Defence Army soldier is killed, the lives of several of his own soldiers can be saved!

But gunmen with good marksmanship are rare in this era. After all, the accuracy of the smoothbore gun is there. If you want to practice the marksmanship of the smoothbore gun, you have to pay several times the effort and even the price of talent in later generations!

What's more, even if you practice the marksmanship of the smoothbore gun, you still have to catch it at a distance of more than 100 meters. The hit rate is no different from a recruit...

This is based on the use of high-precision and high-quality smoothbore guns. As for the front-mounted rifle gun, the sad loading speed is destined to be a weapon for large-scale installation.

Even sharpshooters in the French Defense Forces did not use the front-mounted rifle as their main weapon, but instead wore two muskets, one smoothbore and one front-mounted rifle.

Of course, during non-combat periods, the sharpshooter only needs to carry a musket, and the remaining musket can be thrown to the military baggage convoy.

This can save the physical energy consumption of the sharpshooter.

The anti-French Allied Forces' methods seemed stupid, but they did add some casualties to the French Defence Force in the defence war. The guard infantry attacked those small bunkers that looked closed.

In addition, the black gunpowder explosion of this era is lacking in power, so it is difficult to explode such small bunkers from outside, unless a bunch of gunpowder barrels are dug underneath to blast fortifications.

In the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, where can I have time to dig out blasting fortifications for you?

In this way, the Anti-French Allied Forces set up fortifications at all levels, digging holes from one defense line after another, hundreds of thousands of anti-French Allied Forces were about to dig into migrant workers...

The efforts still pay off. The long line of defense that could not be seen at first glance really delayed the French Defence Force's offensive strength.

Even if the French Defence Force attacks at all costs, it will not work. If there are too many casualties, even if one wins one after another, how many troops will the French Defence Force still have to occupy the territory?

The anti-French Allied Army clearly wanted to fight a war of attrition with the French Empire. It depends on who has more soldiers and consumes all the strength of the French National Wehrmacht.

Even though the war of attrition was far more powerful than the French Empire in this war of attrition, the materials consumed were very disadvantaged. The anti-French alliance also gritted its teeth and persevered. The London government made a lot of money in war. Even if it did not start prices during the war, it made a nationwide celebration by trafficking military supplies...

In addition, the British financial capital industry also ushered in a carnival. After all, this kind of war of attrition competes with national strength. The soldiers of the French Empire do not have to pay military salaries, and they have much less troops, so they can naturally hold on. However, the anti-French allies such as Pu'Ao could not hold on, especially the Russian Empire, which faced a two-line battle, was even more financially close to the brink of collapse.

For this reason, the anti-French allies on the mainland had to borrow heavily from the financial community.

It is obvious that domestic financial capitalists alone cannot swallow it, and many financial capitalists are also interested in making money from the national crisis and bringing loan interest rates to the point where the government wants to shoot them.

At this time, the London government, which gave all the various loans to allies, stood up.

Since the London government is responsible for endorsing, British financial capitalists are still willing to pay. In the eyes of most people, the third anti-French alliance was the entire European force attacking the Ottoman Empire and the French Empire, and no matter how you look at it, you will not be defeated.

Well, at least that's true in national strength.

The early battles seemed to prove this. The French Defence Force easily died in battle just after breaking through two lines of defense, forcing Carl to give up the fierce attack tactic of not taking into account casualties.

He could not face the deep defense line of the anti-French Allied Army, so Carl could only send troops in separate routes to attack from remote paths, trying to break the deadlock.

However, the routes that were not blocked by the defense line were not suitable for large army to march. The main force of the French National Defense Forces could not pass through. It was not difficult for a small group of troops to break through the past, but they could not attack the anti-French Allied forces, which had an absolute advantage in number, but they had to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the main force of the anti-French Allied Forces.

Of course, Carl's tactics are also effective. The small troops he sent out had many routes, which made the main forces sent by the encircled anti-French Allied Army have to be dispersed, and chased and suppressed the small French troops that infiltrated and penetrated.

After dispersing the forces of the anti-French Allied Army, these small French troops will take the opportunity to find those enemy troops whose military strength is not too strong, and they can take one bite at a time.

Small-scale encounters often break out between the two sides around the entire front, with hundreds of casualties occurring every day.

As for the main force of the French Defense Forces on the front battlefield, Carl had no intention of transferring it away. None of the three armies changed their offensive plans, and it seemed that they were going to be nailed to death here so that the opponent's anti-French allies could not move.

At first, the Anti-French Allied Army thought that the French Defense Force wanted to create miracles through the interspersed small French forces, so they used their main force to attract the main force of the Allied Army and could not dispatch large forces to encircle and suppress the small French forces that interspersed in.

Until the Linden Wan Uprising broke out in various cities behind!

Yes, since the leaders of this revolutionary uprising were the Linden Wan Brotherhood, it was called the Linden Wan Uprising by European countries.

The Lindenwan Brotherhood did not break out, and it was famous all over Europe. Even the Ottoman Empire next door was shocked after receiving the news of the Lindenwan Uprising and increased its search for spies and gangs in the European controlled area of ​​the Ottoman Empire.

However, since the Ottoman Empire has always been very strict infiltration of continental countries, after all, both sides have always been hostile, and sending spies has long become the norm. Therefore, the branch power of the Lindenwan Brotherhood in the Balkans controlled by the Ottoman Empire is very weak and cannot be compared with Central and Europe. Even the Davari Mutual Aid Association in Eastern Europe is far inferior to that in Eastern Europe.

"Your Majesty, great news, the Lindenwan plan of the Spy Department has been successful!

After nearly a week of bloody battles, Vienna, the capital of the Austrian Empire, successfully repelled the fierce attack of the royal guards led by Austrian Emperor Franz I. Franz I's royal guards lost as much as 70% in this Vienna battle, and it has been completely abolished.

Aren, the senior executive of the Mission Division, announced to Europe in Vienna that the Austrian Republic was established and Aren was the first president of the Austrian Republic.

After the outbreak of the Linden-Wanda Uprising, a total of 18 cities in China and Europe successfully revolted. In the subsequent encirclement and suppression of the anti-French alliance, three cities blocked the attack of the anti-French alliance.

This is mainly because the main forces of the anti-French Allied Forces are confronting the main forces of the French Defence Force, and the rear is empty, so they have achieved such great achievements."

Hundreds of cities in Central and Europe launched an uprising, but only 18 cities succeeded. Later, only three were left to withstand the encirclement of the army, which became a great victory in Manid!

This logic may be a bit incomprehensible to later generations, but if you understand how deeply the monarchical system of this era is, you will understand how rare it is to have three revolutionary uprisings to defend the city, not to mention that it also includes Vienna, the capital of Austria!

This is politically equivalent to tearing a bloody wound under the European monarchy system, setting a historical milestone!

After all, compared with Western Europe, Central European countries and cities are more conservative, and the more east the continent is, the more conservative the people's ideas are. The Russian Empire generally implemented the serf system. Compared with the traditional feudal empire in the East, there is not much difference in system.

"What a pity, the Berlin Uprising was not successful."

Li Wei said regretfully.

The Lindenwan Plan was promoted by Li Wei. Berlin and Vienna gathered the vast majority of the forces of the Lindenwan Brotherhood. Normally, the probability of the revolution success of these two cities should be the highest, not to mention that the revolutionary leaders of these two cities were the French who were enlightened by the administration.

After hearing Levi's words, Manid explained: "Your Majesty, the nobles in the Prussian Kingdom have a strong military tradition and their fighting will be far higher than that of the Austrian nobles. My spies have reported back that when the revolutionary uprising broke out in Berlin, many Junker nobles who did not go to the front line in Berlin took the initiative to pick up the weapons collected at home and rushed to the streets with their servants and guards.

It is precisely because of the extra Berlin Rongke noble armed forces that caught the revolutionary army off guard and failed to take down important buildings such as the General Police Bureau as soon as possible, giving the Berlin government armed forces time to assemble to suppress the revolution."

Li Wei nodded slightly and did not continue to ask about this issue.

"The news of the Battle of Vienna should have spread."

"Report to your Majesty, according to the rules, except for St. Petersburg, all the anti-French alliances should get the news before us."

Sweden and other small countries were directly ignored by Manid.

In the eyes of the important officials of the French Empire's cabinet, in this anti-French war, the only opponents that deserve the attention of the French Empire were Britain, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire, the Austrian Empire, and the Kingdom of Spain could be considered half. After all, the geographical location of the Kingdom of Spain was very delicate and involved a lot of French troops.

As for other European countries, if they do not have the protection of the anti-French alliance, they will destroy their countries within less than a week under the attack of the French Defense Forces!

This is the pathetic that the territory is too small and there is no strategic depth.

Of course, the Kingdom of Sweden is not as good as Sweden's territory.
