Chapter 1311 Napoleon's Water

Sun King Louis XIV expanded the territory of France, but he also had times of frustration.

Louis XIV’s mother was Anna of Austria, who was regent by the Austrian princess before he succeeded to the throne.

The relationship between France and Austria is like this. While they are married, they also guard against each other. The fortress system built on the border of Flanders during the time of Louis XIV rescued Paris during the French Revolution. At that time, the engineer Vauban not only built the fortress, but also used it. Conditions such as forests and terrain protect the sluices, expand floods, and turn the entire area into a flooded area.

This is a bit similar to the construction of a Yellow River. You only need to open the sluices to allow the floodwater to rush into the mountain pass. 50,000 National Self-Defense Forces are enough, and you don’t even need to use regular troops. At that time, the cost was 500 million francs. It is 100 years, and it costs 4 million francs a year for maintenance.

In his first expedition to Italy, Napoleon set off from Savona and crossed the mountain at the link between the Alps and the Apennines, where the protection forces are the weakest, blocking the Austrian and Sardinian armies, and occupying Tanaro. The fortress at the confluence of the river Stura.

The fortress is difficult to attack, but the rewards after the fight are also huge. With this foothold, he set up his own warehouse and forced the king of Sardinia to teach the fortress of Tortona, which is in the direction of Milan.

The expeditionary army needs supplies. There are warehouses and hospitals in the long supply line fortresses. These fortresses are guarded by newly healed sick soldiers and recruits. Those who follow him forcibly marching are all healthy and strong soldiers.

The Italian army has no resistance at all in front of the French, and his main enemy is the Austrian army.

Trade will provide taxes, but closing Strasbourg is an almost hostile act, and it is absolutely undesirable for him to fight Prussia at the moment.

But Miss Giorgioanna gave him a new inspiration. The franchise of Marseille soap existed a long time ago. Monopoly is something that people love and hate. Monopoly is in her own hands. Of course, it is very comfortable. The monopoly is in the hands of others, which is very unpleasant.

Occupying an area is not only a garrison, but also the continuation of the system of the suzerainty. The lace of Venice has a franchise, and the wool products of Florence will also have it. If every city has its own franchise and does not interfere with other people’s manufacturing, then the essence of France’s autocratic system will be understood by these Italians—you can only use so much of the power I grant you, more than that. You can't overstep the rules at half a point. When you are enjoying the profits brought by Marseille soap, you can't touch Lace's idea, no matter how hot and profitable the business is.

Those caravans switched to Italy in order to purchase goods instead of taking the trade route of Strasbourg. In this way, they achieved the goal of blocking Austria by non-sealing means.

In 1797, Napoleon saw the Hungarian hussars. If the Hungarian hussars in the era of Empress Maria Terezia were terrible, then the Hungarian hussars that Napoleon saw at that time were pitiful. A 12-pound cannon has the same amount of ammunition as two 6-pound cannons, but a 12-pound cannon is big and heavy, and its mobility is not as good as two 6-pounders. The division of a cavalry into an avant-garde and a rear guard can avoid excessively fierce fighting, while at the same time stopping the enemy army, giving the infantry time to lay out the formation, and allowing the baggage and the convoy to rush to where they should be.

The entire art of the light cavalry guards is to contain the enemy and prevent themselves from being beaten. The most important thing is flexibility.

Austria, like France, has a formidable military force of about 300,000 people, but Austria has split into many small countries, and the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire can choose a new one from the electors.

If Napoleon can attract Austrian troops into the fortifications in Federland Province, and use floods to attack the cavalry in these mountain passes, another military myth can be created.

But this kind of imagination is just thinking about it. Austrians are not all young people who are impulsive when they see beautiful women in lace underwear. They are slow and because they have suffered Napoleon's losses on the Italian battlefield, the commander will become Be careful not to risk aggressively entering the French mainland to fight.

Italian unification of trade is a "game" of Napoleon. It was used for jokes and jokes between him and his mistress, but he did have some excitement, but what he wanted was the tobacco franchise.

Men and tobacco have an inseparable relationship, especially during the war, tobacco can play a great comforting role, it can create more taxes than lace.

Georgianna knew that during World War II Roosevelt used tobacco as a strategic material, and the state came forward to conduct monopoly operations, and even planting tobacco could delay military service.

When Columbus discovered the New World, sailors had already discovered that the locals smoked palm leaves or plantain with tobacco leaves. This is the most primitive cigar.

Cigar smoking is a sign of a successful person. Napoleon smoked because he grew up from the grassroots level. Almost all recruits would learn to smoke when he entered the army. The way he smokes is a pipe instead of a cigar.

In addition to providing cotton, the American plantations also grow tobacco. Napoleon imposed such a heavy tariff on the United States, and the United States also retaliated. The French people in the Americas did not have to smoke tobacco. But the relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is still good. This transaction is OK. Talked about.

Georgiana had no idea whether Napoleone was serious or if she thought on impulse, she planned to ask him after two days to calm down.

Men are like this, they will never lose face in front of a woman, and they must stand up for their face.

How many people's interests would be involved in his doing this, and then she figured out why so many French plantation owners thought she was dead.

If Napoleon really gave France such a big benefit to the British, he would not be Caesar, but Anthony.

Some people are sober and dreaming, and some are sober and go crazy. Who came up with the bad idea of sending a stallion?

The feeling of the knife holder on the neck appeared again, although at this moment Giorgioanna was carrying the picnic basket, bathed in the gentle sunshine, holding Napoleon’s arm, and was walking towards the small Trianon palace full of pastoral style.

No matter how naive Marie Antoinette is, she at least gave birth to Louis XVI. If a woman can’t have a child, it’s so terrible in this age, especially if the man’s mother gave birth to 13 children.

They didn't talk along the way, each thinking about their own thoughts. She was very used to this kind of quietness, and she didn't need to create topics specifically to communicate.

Then she remembered that she used to say that she was infertile in front of many people. She really didn't have this idea at the time. She thought that by saying that, the Corsican who thought "the best woman to have children" would feel it to her. There is no point in wasting time.

But he has managed to turn a woman who supports monogamy into a victim of polygamy, and he also came up with the idea of letting him give birth to children. What else can he not do?

"Those you just mentioned are military secrets?" She asked before reaching the door of the farm.

"You can think that is a delusion." Napolioni held her arm and said, "You only need to talk to the British about tobacco."

"The French will hate me to death." She trembled.

"Since you chose to save yourself instead of relying on me, you can figure out your own way this time, don't let me down, Georgiana."

"Because the desire to survive can stimulate people's potential?"

"That's right." He pursed his mouth and smiled, "Do you still want to play?"

She raised her fist to beat the stinky bastard.

He let her slap her around with a hippy smile.

Not long after, the door of the manor opened by itself. Letizia opened the door himself.

As soon as she saw her, Georgiana held her and cried.

Why are women of the same age so different? Georgian also wanted this kind of pure reclusive life instead of "adventuring" with young men.

"What's wrong with you?" Letizia asked.
