The war has now reached the point where France has put all its chips on its head, winning is dominating the European continent, and losing is reduced to second-rate.

The domineering style of France in the past has offended many people. No one dared to provoke when France was strong, and once it declined, it would be completely different.

Under the nest, there is an egg.

Both Napoleon IV and the high-level French government are tied to the fate of this country.

At this time, the step back is no longer the sea and sky, but the abyss.

Whether for themselves or for the country, they must find ways to win this war.

In the face of life and death, face is already cheap and worthless, so copy it!

Now that the Austrian military equipment is more advanced, it should be copied. Can't the great French Empire be made?

In a word, the emperor broke his leg. Starting from the cabinet government, it is pushed down level by level.

Although Napoleon III has the reputation of a socialist emperor, France is still a bourgeois state, and the ordnance industry is in the hands of capitalists.

In the past, there were orders. Everyone was rushing to snatch. The threshold of the Army Department was broken. Now that the news has been sent out for a long time, no one is interested.

It’s not that capitalists don’t want to make money, the point is that everyone can’t make that money. There is no way, the timing is wrong.

In the past, everyone could take orders first, and then think of a way slowly, either by self-developing or purchasing technology from outside.

But not now, independent research and development time is too late; at present these technologies are still unique to Austria, Fao is at war, even if they spend no amount of money can not buy technology.

All capitalists who have connections have received news in advance and know the seriousness of the problem. It is clear that at this juncture, receiving orders and failing to deliver the goods will cause great trouble.

The original arms order that everyone wanted was now a hot potato, and it directly rotted into the hands of the War Department.

Of course, it’s not that nobody is interested, but everyone’s strength is limited and they can’t complete the task in the short term.

At present, many military factories have indicated that they can start construction as soon as the Ministry of the Army produces the design drawings.

"How about how long will it take for you to copy it?"

Army Minister Ruskinia asked anxiously.

Although the military factory is owned by capitalists, this does not mean that the French government will hand over all arms issues to the capitalists.

The Department of the Army also maintains a group of military experts, and even a military factory directly under it. However, due to bureaucratic management, the production cost is too touching and there is no way to expand the scale.

Now that the capitalists dare not take orders, the drudgery falls into the hands of the Army Department itself. In any case, this was decided by the emperor and the government, and the Army Department had to find a way to complete it.

An elderly military expert replied: "His Duke, we have too little information.

Weapon templates, design principles, and performance parameters are all unknown, and we don’t even know the exterior structure. Nothing, how can we copy it? "

The counterfeit also needs to have a reference object. There is nothing. That is not counterfeiting, but independent research and development. Since it is an independent research and development, time will naturally not be up.

Of course, there is another way of research and development, which is to design weapons according to demand, but it also takes time.

Army Secretary Ruskinia said impatiently: "Isn't the machine gun already available? Just improve the performance according to our machine gun.

The plane is a little more troublesome, but I remember it was published in the newspaper, and some people performed an air show in Paris.

A few folk lovers can do something, can't you do it?

If it is not possible, just pay for their technology or collect them for compilation, how can there be so much trouble! "

It is not the ignorance of the Duke of Luskenia. Without knowing the principle of the Maktin machine gun, it is not wrong to think that the Austrian army is using an improved version of Gatling.

This is especially true of aircraft. In addition to dealing with smooth airships, Austrian military aircraft have not shown amazing fighting power.

This year, everyone's understanding of the aircraft has stayed in the air show, and they have never realized that the technology gap between the aircraft and the aircraft is huge.

From the perspective of dealing with airships alone, most aircraft can do it. Anyway, the aircraft has the advantage of flexibility, as long as the endurance is long enough, the load capacity is two or three hundred pounds.

The old man reluctantly explained: "His Duke, there are many links between the design and use of a weapon. It takes a lot of time. It can't be done without three or five years of effort.

Even if the situation is urgent on the battlefield, we directly save the time for weapon testing, but the time for design and industrial production cannot be compressed.

Even in the most ideal state, it is three months after we produce a new machine gun; as for the aircraft, it can be regarded as God's blessing if it can be produced within half a year. "

Three months and half a year, this speed is indeed very fast. It would be a miracle if it could really be done in so many short time.

After all, it is only now in 1890. Even the Franz butterfly effect has accelerated the pace of technological development, but this is mainly aimed at Austria. France only follows passive development.

Relative to the same period in history, the level of science and technology in France, even if the development has accelerated, cannot exceed ten years, and there will not be a qualitative gap.

...

The world will not revolve around a country. No matter what the progress of the French's new equipment research and development, the war will continue.

Because of political needs, the French government concealed the fiasco of the previous attack. Since there was no defeat, it would naturally not be held accountable. Admiral Udino luckily escaped the fate of going to the military court.

No need to go to the military court, it does not mean that you will not be held accountable. Udino is still on command before the enemy, only because of the transition period required for the adjustment of the command system.

If such a big event occurs, the French army must be held accountable. As the person directly responsible for the incident, it was only a matter of time before Admiral Udino returned home with his grandson.

French Command, since receiving news of the offensive defeat, Marshal Patrice McMahon rushed to the front line to host the overall situation for the first time.

Looking at a bunch of dying officers, Patrice McMahon snapped the table and yelled sharply, "Everyone looks in the mirror and sees how you are doing now. It doesn't look like a soldier."

Do you know that France's face will be lost to you? Especially your Udino, have you forgotten the guarantee you gave me before?

Isn’t it just a loss? Just find a chance to get back from the enemy later. Could it be that he was about to retire, and he could live unscrupulously.

I tell you that if you don’t want to live a life of infamy in the rest of your life, just cheer me up. I have all remembered that the shame of defeat can only be washed with blood and victory. "

In fact, the morale of the French officers and soldiers is low, not just because of heavy casualties.

The casualties of tens of thousands of people have not been encountered and are not desperate; what really makes people feel desperate is that they are not optimistic about the prospects of war.

In addition to the heavy losses of the first day of the offense, there were no full-scale battles in the next few days, but small-scale engagements occurred every day.

Without knowing it, everyone suddenly realized that the Austrian army was not so decayed and incompetent in government propaganda, but a tiger that went down the mountain.

In Linlin's fragmented engagement, the two sides scored a 1.3:1 record. The French army is 1.3, which makes French officers who claim to be the first army in the world undoubtedly a thunderbolt.

This is not an offensive and defensive battle, but a direct collision in the wild. Everyone was helpless to find that under the same strength, the French army was no longer the opponent of the Austrian army.

Of course, this is also related to the French military’s recent low morale, but the main reason is the sequelae of the crazy expansion of the army.

Even the so-called elite troops have at least one-fifth of recruits, and combat effectiveness inevitably declines.

With the inconvenience of news transmission this year, the French government could not propagate for Austria, so that the middle and high levels of the military gang did not understand the particularity of the Austrian military service system.

Everyone judges through brain supplements, and assumes that everyone is an expanded army, and a group of recruits are behind.

It is seen that under the same conditions, the French army was suppressed by the Austrian army, and it is not an exception. This is true on the front line that has spread hundreds of miles.

The French commander who witnessed all of this naturally had no confidence in this war. Of course, there is no essential difference between this misjudgment and knowing the truth.

Anyway, the facts have proved that under the same troop strength, the expanded French army won't win the Austrian army.

Maybe someone will talk about equipment, the problem is that weapons and equipment are also a part of strength. This is no longer the age of knights, as long as they can win the war, who cares about fairness.

In a sense, Austria's largest ally is Italian. The pessimistic thought was first transmitted by them. After the offensive defeat and the heavy casualties in the front, they quickly spread in the French army and began to exert influence from the bottom up.

Marshal Patrice McMahon came in a hurry to restore the morale of the troops, but the scene before him told him that the situation was worse than he thought.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~__________________

From bombing others, to being bombed every day. It's only a few days before and after, and this kind of mental gap can't be tolerated by few people.

Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Marshal Patrice McMahon somewhat understands why everyone's morale is sluggish.

As the highest commander of the French army, Patrice McMahon knows more than anyone else.

Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. Everyone was drunk, I woke up alone, but it was not so easy to bear.

Unlike the radical gangs in the country who dreamed of breaking Vienna, Patrice McMahon's battle plan, from beginning to end, only won the territory west of the Rhine.

It is not that Patrice McMahon has no ambitions, just because he knows that the French army is not as strong as government propaganda, and the enemy is not as weak as propaganda.

After taking the territory west of the Rhine, France would be able to guard against danger, even if Austria broke out, he was confident to stop it.

As for breaking Vienna, just shouting slogans. Patrice McMahon is already old and has already passed the radical age.

Admiral Udino said bitterly: "I'm so sorry, Marshal. I let you down! If it wasn't for the command error in front of me, it wouldn't let us collapse into a great situation."

The situation collapsed?

Obviously the battle situation is not serious enough, the French still occupy the initiative on the Sino-European battlefield.

As for the counterattack launched by the Austrian army, it was all pediatrics. To be sure, the Austrian army cannot fight the French army until enough troops are assembled.

Patrice McMahon: "Don't talk nonsense, now I have only one requirement, that is to tear the Rhine defense line as soon as possible.

This is your last chance. No matter what method you use, I must rush to complete this order before the enemy reinforcements arrive. "

There was another sentence in his heart that was not said, that is: this is also France's last chance.

If this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult for France to win this war.

Even if the French army broke out in the later stage, and the luck was to win the war, it was only a clear victory, but the true situation was both defeats.

"Marshal, the biggest problem now is the enemy's trenches. According to the information we have collected, it can be determined that the enemy troops have deployed at least 10,000 machine guns and thousands of heavy artillery on the Rhine, and more than 5,000 ordinary artillery.

Relying on the trenches, the enemy built a dense firepower network, and our troops simply couldn't reach it.

In order to reduce the casualties of officers and soldiers, our soldiers can only climb and charge. Even if the fluke rushed to the enemy's position, it would still be blocked by the iron net.

The best way to tear the Rhine defense line is to choose a main attack and focus our artillery to launch a sneak attack to suppress the enemy's firepower in the area at the first time..."

The method is what people want to pass, although there is no saying that crawling forward, but crawling the charge is essentially the same as crawling forward.

Focus on bombing with concentrated firepower to gain regional firepower advantage, which is also the most suitable for the French army at this moment. From this perspective, Admiral Udino is still qualified.

Patrice McMahon nodded: "Very well, I approved your plan for this battle. Udino, give you one last chance, I don't want to hear any bad news again."

Frankly speaking, Patrice McMahon did not want Udino to continue to command the troops. But there is no way. The French army has only a handful of officers capable of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops.

Among these people, Udino's ability is also ranked top. If it weren’t for the previous mistake, another name would rise.
