Chapter 817 The New "Big Brother" in North Italy

The reason why Joseph did this is naturally not to "admire the heroic performance of General Melas on the battlefield", but because Melas is enough.

If he can get reuse after returning to Austria, he will give a great gift to France next time on the battlefield.

This is more advantageous than the more capable officers to command the Olympic forces.

At the same time, this can also show France "the spirit of respect for the Cavaliers", that is, the nobles have the right to use ransom to replace them back to freedom.

In the future, the will to disintegrate the enemy's generals in the future war.

In case of an important French general captured, it can also redeem it in this way.

Of course, if he captures the heavyweight characters such as the Duke of Wellington, Grand Grand Grand Duke, and Kutuzov, Naoseph will not hesitate to throw the "knight spirit" into the garbage dump.

Alexander.

Seven or eight representatives of the Italian State of Genoa, Parma, and Sardin were invited to come here to observe the French army's surrender ceremony on the fountain square.

In fact, even Toscana and the Pope received an invitation letter, but they did not respond.

The people of the Satllinus were crowded with the roads on both sides of the square, and the probe watched more than a thousand Austrian captives passing by from them, with a lot of nervous colors on their faces.

After all, they were the Austrian Allied forces two months ago. If His Majesty changed the door in time, there would be a lot of Sardine in these captives.

The Italian girls watched the prestigious figure of the French cavalry who escorted the captives, showing a shy or fascinating smile.

Behind the captive team, there are more than a dozen carriage teams.

At the forefront of the team, a French officer held a surrender signing of Merras to show the surroundings.

The carriages behind pulled the curtains and could not see the people inside, but according to the news of the sources, the car was sitting in the car was Melas and 12 other Austrian officers.

These people will be "sent" to Vienna after the surrender ceremony. And they paid a total of 3.9 million francs for this journey.

Behind the captive queue is hundreds of tall French cavalry, and then the artillery battalion and bullet throwing camps. They are all handsome handsome guys.

The grand surrender ceremony shocked the entire North Italy.

After the details of the rituals began to report the rituals in the newspapers of various countries, and after related battles, Austria's influence that has been operating in North Italy for hundreds of years has been dissipated almost overnight.

Instead, it is the recognition of French power in various states.

Parma and Modena also sent people to the Palace of Versailles, expressing their intention to increase bilateral trade, and repeatedly congratulated the French king and queen to the French king in private.

Half a month after the end of the deduction ceremony, the Third Salvatus Division of the Royal France, the two royal artillery companies, and more than 4,000 recruits who had just completed the training also reached Milan.

A total of 16,000 soldiers.

After accepting these troops, the Italian army has expanded to more than 39,000 people.

After negotiating with the ministers, Ameidio III decided to send Lieutenant General Taton to lead the 15,000 Satin army to the French combat sequence.

On the basis of the Milan City Guard, Napoleon was summoned by the Lunbaidi Army, which was commanded by Syeuri.

In mid -September, the 57,000s of the Satta Army left Milan and followed Napoleon to the Mantia Fortress.

While Napoleon defeated the Melas Corps, the British Mediterranean Fleet also ended the hunting of the French Turn Fleet and returned to the Portal Port of Gibraltar.

However, the return process of the Royal Navy seemed a little embarrassed.

In the commander of the Fleet flagship "Victory", Lord Hu Dee's ears were echoed with faintly heard artillery, shook his head irritably, and shouted to the attendant at the door: "How far is it?"

The latter knew how far he was asking about Gibraltar. He hurried to the cockpit and asked a few words, and quickly rushed back: "General, only 60 nautical miles are left."

Lord Hu De looked at the pocket watch, and it was already 1:30 in the afternoon. It seems that he can't enter the port today. He will be tortured by those damn steam ships tomorrow.

Yes, since the French merchant ship completed the supplies of Genoa, Diccchara will have directed the "Mediterranean Express Fleet" to the sea area to meet the main force of the Turlon Fleet.

However, they were not mixed directly, but the Tulun fleet continued to run with the British fleet in front, and Dicchara followed behind the British ass.

It seems that the French fleet was chased as a dog, and he did not dare to enter the port for more than a month.

But in fact, how depressed the British fleet, only they know.

There is no wrong one, one time, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one by one!

Those French steam ships are simply a dumpling dog who smelled the smell of carrion. They have been following them. From time to time, they will use the speed advantage to rush up to the end of the end of the warship a few guns, and then immediately turn around.

After a while, I came up again, and drove away a few guns ...

At first, Lord Hu De sent a boat to drive these "dogs", but he quickly found that it was useless at all.

If they sent third- and fourth-level battleships, the French steamships would circle around the main force of their fleet, and those heavy battleships could not catch up at all.

Moreover, after being teased, these battleships would face the problem of difficulty in returning to the main fleet.

Hood had to let the main fleet slow down and wait for them.

This gave the French Toulon fleet a chance to breathe.

They took advantage of this opportunity to successfully replenish supplies in the port of Tripoli.

Even if the warships that went to disperse the "hyenas" had problems with their formations not being neat, they would be bitten hard!

A month ago, the third-level battleship "Bold" was trying to seize the opportunity to sink the French frigate - in retrospect, this so-called opportunity was mostly a trap set by the French - which led to its failure to approach other warships in time and was besieged by a large number of steamships.

In the end, it relied on its strong hull to avoid being sunk, but it was bombarded with scars all over its body, and there was almost no intact wooden board on the rear half of the side, basically losing its combat capability.

Afterwards, Lord Hood tried to use faster galleys to drive away the French warships, but the result was that two galleys were sunk.

The French steamships were much more durable than the galleys. After 20 minutes of fighting, the galleys could not keep up and began to be beaten.

Since then, Hood never sent warships to drive away those steamships.

The latter continued to follow and harass his main fleet.

Although the firepower of these small boats was not strong, they could not withstand repeated "bites" for more than 50 days. Almost all of Hood's main battleships were injured.
