297 Reorganization of the Wehrmacht
The transaction incident in Vienna shocked the entire continent. The countries in continental Europe never expected that the Eren government would stand so firmly on the side of the French Empire.
High-level officials from all countries can see that Eren has completely turned to the French Empire, and many European senior officials even doubt whether Eren has been hypnotized and brainwashed by Levi, so they are so "obedient".
Although the Austrian Republic was extremely relaxed when suppressing the revolution, although the revolution was not strong this time, it affected a wide range of things. Uprisings broke out in most large and medium-sized cities, but many uprisings were extinguished before they occupied the municipal government, so they did not bring any political impact.
However, such a large-scale revolutionary uprising caused considerable damage to the economic foundation of the Austrian Republic, and even caused more destructive power than the third anti-French war!
After all, in the Third Anti-French War, the territory occupied by the Austrian Republic has not been affected by war.
The Iranian government seemed to have received the return of 100,000 presidential guards and even the remaining Austrian prisoners of war, which allowed the army of the Austrian Republic, which was short of soldiers to recover well, but this was only a military strengthening. In addition, the Austrian Republic suffered heavy losses in other aspects of the country.
Moreover, the credibility of the Iranian government has also dropped to a historical freezing point among the people, especially the ruthless measures in the suppression of the uprising, which has made many Austrian people, at least ethnic minorities, hate the Iranian government.
Without the support of the 100,000 Presidential Guard, the Iranian government would not last long.
Because of this, in the eyes of European countries, the transaction made by the Irion government is purely to "sell blood and kidneys" to support the French Empire and control the French Empire in Vienna. By taking this rich and densely populated area as the foundation, it can firmly lay the basic foundation in Central and Europe.
Although the Vienna region is an enclave of the French Empire, the Rhine Alliance, which was sandwiched in the middle, will completely lose the confidence to bargain with the French Empire, and it will be sooner or later that the French Empire will slowly digest and annex it into the land.
In fact, the various state governments of the Rhine League are also doing this. They took the lead in increasing the textbooks. The entire articles are full of content praising the Levi government. In public entertainment facilities, the image of the Levi government is constantly improving, and the Levi government is being built up for the Levi government at all costs!
Isn’t this the prelude to seeking peaceful incorporation into the French Empire?
This phenomenon once again made European countries shocked Li Wei's hypnosis methods. The surviving European countries have connected in private and prepared to recover their vitality, and formed an international strategic alliance to jointly defend against the expansion behavior of the French Empire in the future with a probability of more than 90% chance!
The vassal government of the French Empire was so cooperative. There was only a matter of time left to cooperate with the Livi government to unify China and Europe...
Once the French Empire digests all the vassal states, it will become the second Frankish empire!
At that time, if other European countries do not unite, who can confront Li Wei?
There is no war breaking out now, but it is just a temporary truce, and everyone is licking their wounds at home.
The Russian Empire was even more insufficiency in the Russian-Turkish war. Although the Russian army had an advantage on the battlefield, the Ottoman Empire was not a vegetarian. Their size was there, and if the army was not of good quality, they would use the quantity to piece together!
The Ottoman Empire's ability to violent soldiers was not much inferior to that of the Russian Empire.
However, the troops exposed by the Ottoman Empire, except for the Sudan Guards, were also combat-effective, and other troops were basically at the same level as armed farmers. Many armies were not even equipped with a match rope gun!
Therefore, the cannon fodder legion of the Ottoman Empire was far inferior to even the gray animals.
When European countries included the Austrian Republic into the ranks of the French Empire, Li Wei from Paris had just received a systematic reward prompt.
The importance of the Vienna region is unquestionable. Peaceful handover actually brought 10 glory benefits to Li Wei!
Li Wei got the profit before he was sent out.
Subsequently, Li Wei devoted all these 10 glory points to the training of the guard cavalry, increasing the number of guard cavalry to more than 32,000.
After the expansion of its sphere of influence, the Li Wei government naturally obtained a large number of high-quality horses, and there were enough military horses to expand the cavalry.
In addition, the Levi government reorganized the French Defence Force.
The enemy of Austria no longer exists. In addition to the Kingdom of Prussia and Denmark, Central Europe has been included in the vassal system of the French Empire. In the future, the recruitment will naturally not be limited to the local French areas.
There is no need for the French foreign legion to exist alone.
It just happened to be filled with those foreign legions into the French Defense Forces system to supplement the consumption of the main force of the First Army in the Third Anti-French War.
After replenishing all foreign legions under Carl's command, Li Wei reorganized Carl's First Army into the Eastern Army, with 20 divisions under his command, including infantry divisions, artillery divisions and cavalry divisions.
Among them, the artillery divisions are usually broken up and organized into various infantry divisions, and will only gather together to use them when needed.
Levi concentrated all the best artillery into Carl's Eastern Army.
Carl was promoted to commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army and promoted to the rank of general!
The 20 divisions in the Eastern Army are divided into 5 army-level combat units, but the army-level combat units are not fixed and will be temporarily allocated according to combat needs, and Carl will decide at his own discretion during peacetime.
Li Wei fully delegated power to Carl and allowed him to arrange his Eastern Army at will.
Polkha's Second Army was reorganized into the Southern Army. You can tell from the map that Polkha, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, was prepared to deal with the Spanish Kingdom.
However, compared with the Eastern Army, which had a strong military force, the Southern Army had only five divisions, four of which were infantry divisions and one artillery division.
However, the artillery divisions in the Southern Army used eliminated second-line artillery, and the quality was not comparable to that of the artillery divisions of the Eastern Army, and were only used to recharge the quantity.
Of course, like the Eastern Army, the artillery divisions are split and used for each infantry division on weekdays.
The Southern Army had a small number of cavalry and were all equipped for use by various infantry divisions, so no separate cavalry division was established.
The Southern Army, adapted from the Second Army, seemed to have one more division, but in fact, it did not have much more troops, but only added some artillery seized in the Third Anti-French War.
The Southern Army was able to possess a division of artillery thanks to the collapse of the Austrian Empire's army in the Third Anti-French War.
The artillery supplemented by the Southern Army was all equipped with "Austria" equipment, which did not include the newly produced artillery, because the new artillery was equipped for the Eastern Army.
Lieutenant General Kalebel's Third Army was adapted into the Imperial Defense Corps. The number of troops and artillery was the same as before, and only a single organization was changed...
The guard division, which originally specifically protected Li Wei's personal safety, was adapted into a royal guard of personal guards, which was actually mainly used as a guard of honor. After all, before the Eastern Army and the Southern Army were completely wiped out, it was almost impossible for this royal guards to set foot on the front line.
Li Wei is not very interested in coming to the front line to command operations, and marching is very hard!
And there is no eye-catching shells on the battlefield, what if there is a chance?
Isn't it good to play the right match game with girls in uniform behind?
From time to time, you can also hold a talent show to enrich your harem maid group.
It is so convenient to have a loyal cabinet government. Li Wei only needs to control command in the general direction. The remaining miscellaneous tasks are fully responsible for. Li Wei can only read the summary of the report at most.
As the Secret Spy Division entered the formalities, Li Wei's ruling foundation became stronger. It was not that the Secret Spy Division arrested many revolutionary parties. At this time, the revolutionary party was just a rat crossing the street. Even if he had revolutionary beliefs, he would not dare to expose it.
In recent times, the best task of the Secret Spy Department is the achievements in anti-corruption cases. Those corrupt officials are fat sheep. If they catch a whole staff member who participates in the Secret Spy Department, they will receive a bonus!
Of course, not all kinds of corrupt officials will search their homes. After the Secret Spy Department finds out the evidence, it will submit a list to Li Wei. Then Li Wei summons relevant cabinet ministers to verify the political achievements of these corrupt officials.
If the ruling ability is not higher than the other party's corruption, then the family will be confiscated and the clan will be exterminated.
In the French Empire, Li Wei created a system of indiscriminate involvement!
Of course, the implication here is not to pull out the 18th generation of ancestors and cut off their heads, but to be detained in labor offices as free labor.
The number of death penalty issued by the Li Wei government is not large, and most of the crimes are used to work in labor offices. Many death penalty has been changed to life imprisonment in order to provide sufficient labor for labor offices.
This is because the Li Wei government found that shooting criminals is not only a real benefit, but also a shocking slut. It is better to let them work as a labor force in a labor camp for the rest of their lives, and give them some hope of reducing their sentences to stimulate their subjective initiative, which can save the government a lot of labor expenditure.
No matter how many prisoners there are in labor reform, there is no need to worry about not having any work. Just building a spacious national highway suitable for large military mobility in the French Empire is not a workload that can be completed in a year or two.
Not to mention there are various other construction contracting jobs.
Nowadays, the French imperial government rarely hires migrant workers to build public facilities, and is basically contracted by labor reform prisoners in labor offices.
After all, this kind of coolie job does not require much IQ, and even illiterate labor reform prisoners can make some effort.
If you are cheating, the supervisors in the labor camp will not be polite. Even now that the French Empire is strong, the labor camps still maintain the "fine tradition" of dying every month.
In the French Empire, whether it is a political prisoner or an ordinary prisoner, they are treated equally into labor camps for transformation. Unless the prisoner shows extraordinary value, they will be taken into custody alone and don’t have to work but also provide food and drink.
After the reorganization of the imperial army was completed, Li Wei led his royal guard army of more than 20,000 people to drive towards the city of Vienna.
Li Wei traveled but Carl was very busy. The Eastern Group, which had just completed the adaptation, mobilized all the vassal states, arranged strict defenses in the cities of the vassal states that Li Wei passed, and even temporarily transferred all the armed forces of the vassal states (including the police) or took temporary leave, and the French Defense Forces would undertake the security tasks!
Everything is for the safety of the emperor’s life!
This is why Li Wei was unwilling to go far. As soon as he moved, the entire French Defense Force had to follow him, which was a waste of money and money.
For the French Empire, which was not financially wealthy, Li Wei was naturally unwilling to waste money for no reason, so he usually moved around the Paris area and left unless he had special needs. For example, this time he went to Vienna to place system functional buildings in Vienna.
Li Wei must select a building complex that meets the scale and requirements to attach system functions.
For example, a military camp with a total war system cannot be attached to a horse farm...
As for system buildings like the Taxation Bureau, they must be attached to administrative center buildings similar to the municipal government before they can take effect.
Of course, if Li Wei doesn't bother with it, he can also build a new tax-related building in the local area.
The basic system building does not require any glory value to be consumed, Li Wei only needs to come to Vienna in person.
Naturally, Li Wei would not tell outsiders the real purpose of his trip to Vienna. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the French Empire claimed that this was the great emperor's inspection of Vienna and personally stood on the body of the Austrian Empire to witness history.
It is obvious that Levi's trip to Vienna is regarded by the outside world as a political show and a slap in the face of the Habsburg family.
Although the Habsburg Dynasty was destroyed, the Habsburg family was still very powerful, at least their connections and money were still there!
After the Austrian Republic's revolution was successful, Aren was busy destroying the Austrian Liberal Party and gathering power to maintain dictatorship, so he did not have the energy to massacre the Habsburg family and give the members of the Habsburg family time to hide themselves.
However, the Austrian aristocratic group suffered a fatal blow after Arenn took over the dictatorial power. The Arenn government forced a large-scale acquisition of Austrian aristocratic property on the grounds of eliminating aristocratic privileges, and even many wealthy religious figures were affected, which was like the second French Revolution.
It was this purge that allowed the aristocratic forces of the Austrian Republic to be completely cleaned out of politics like France.
Many exiled Austrian nobles fled to the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire to survive.
What's more, there was no hope for the restoration of the Austrian Empire, and he fled directly to the British Isles, even crossed the Chongyang Ocean and went to the United States of America, where the political environment was more relaxed.
This included a large number of Jewish capitalists, who were afraid of revolutionary forces and ran faster than Austrian aristocrats!
