Napoleon II Reborn

"Your Majesty, the treaty has been signed. After the indemnity promised by the United Kingdom expires, our troops staying in the United Kingdom can withdraw to rest. Several months of war have caused the Marine Corps, the 89th Army and the French 1st Army. We have suffered a lot of casualties, so we must take a good rest now. The situation in the east is not so calm now, and it is just when we need to use troops. They will recover their fighting power in one day, and we will have greater strength to deal with the upcoming war. The coming challenge." Eck said to Xiao Jie with a happy face, and the war against Britain finally ended with France's complete victory. Now, France has not only completely quelled the threat from the west, but also gained a lot of benefits, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"You are solely responsible for this matter. In fact, there are not many regular troops in the UK except for some police forces. We don't need to keep so many troops in the UK. We can put the most injured The serious marines will be withdrawn first, followed by the 89th Army, and finally the French 1st Army. Of course, the troops deployed in London should be determined as soon as possible. They will be our most important stronghold in the UK. etc. After the troops return to the country, they will immediately recruit elites from the reserve army to supplement them, so that the troops can recover their combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time." Xiao Jie said.

"I'll take care of it myself," Eck promised.

"One more thing, this war caused a lot of casualties, and we must do a good job in providing relief to the public. If anyone dares to embezzle this public fund, I will never let him go." Xiao Jie said seriously. His soldiers won the battle for him, and he had to treat them well.

Eke nodded, he also knew very well that Xiao Jie attached great importance to this matter, naturally no one dared to touch Xiao Jie's bad luck in this regard.

On September 17, the French army began to withdraw its troops from the UK. As the first troops to land in the UK, the French Marine Corps was also the first batch of troops to leave the UK. In this war, the morning of the Marine Corps can be said to be the heaviest. There are 6 marine divisions, and in the end less than half of them are left. Some marine divisions have even reached the point where they can be cancelled. At the same time, the first batch of war reparations paid by Britain to France was also shipped back to France together, including gold and other treasures totaling 10 billion francs. The 2nd and 3rd indemnities will also be shipped back to France when the remaining two legions leave England.

On the same day, the new British government was also established. Due to the special period, the prime minister of this government was not elected by the people, but appointed by the king. As a confidant of King George IV, Williams got the position of prime minister as he wished. Under the leadership of Williams, the new British cabinet was established. Among them, the new cabinet merged the Ministry of War and the Ministry of the Navy to form the Ministry of Defense, with Hammurabi as the Minister of Defense. The Home Secretary was appointed by Edward, Duke of Kent, the Foreign Secretary by Palmerston, and other ministers were also served by Williams or George IV's confidantes. In general, this term of the British government is the result of a compromise between Williams and George IV, and the two factions swept all cabinet positions.

The first thing the new British government established was to form a new army. After the war, everyone deeply understood the importance of the army to the country. This time, the royal family was not far behind and demanded the formation of a Praetorian Guard. Of course Williams would not agree, because he knew that if the royal family had control of the army, his position would not be so secure. However, his weakness has also been caught in the hands of George IV. It takes a lot of money to build an army, and now the British treasury is so empty that it can starve mice to death. Without money, what can I use to recruit soldiers and buy weapons. George IV is grasping this point. If Williams does not agree with the royal family to form the Imperial Guard, the royal family will not pay for the formation of the army. In the treaty signed with France, it is stipulated that Britain can only have 10 infantry divisions. If they catch up with the number, France will definitely take the opportunity to deal with them. But the United Kingdom of Great Britain is not enough for only 10 infantry divisions. It can be said that overstaffing has become inevitable. It's just that the action can't start until the main force of the French army has withdrawn from Britain. Finally, as a last resort, after some intense bargaining, the two sides finally reached a consensus. That is, the 10 infantry divisions are divided into 7 divisions commanded by the Ministry of Defense and 3 divisions that form the Praetorian Guard.

In this way, the requirements of both parties have been met to a certain extent, and the British have begun to turn their attention to the restoration of production and construction. After all, they still want to avenge their shame.

"Your Majesty, now the conflict between Williams and George IV has been eased, and they have focused their efforts on restoring national strength. Although it will take a long time, our country is still facing a strong Enemy, if Britain is allowed to restore its national strength, it will be very bad for us." At the cabinet meeting held, Gregor said with some concern. Although the UK is suffering very badly now, if France does not stop it, it will be a matter of time before they recover their national strength.

"Yes! If there is an opportunity, the British will not let go of the opportunity to attack us from behind." Dougal also said. In his opinion, Britain should have been directly annexed in the first place, which would have saved a lot of trouble.

"Hmph. Of course I won't make such a mistake. Just wait, everyone. I have already prepared a lot of big meals for the British, enough for them to enjoy themselves." Xiao Jie said with a big laugh.

Hearing what Xiao Jie said, the others were stunned. But at the same time, he was also very curious. He didn't know how Xiao Jie would deal with Britain, so they all asked Xiao Jie to tell everyone the plan to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

At this time, because his plan has already started to be implemented, he is not afraid of the plan being leaked, so he said: "Everyone knows that the Irish Resistance Organization has now unified the island of Ireland. The envoy of the organization arrived in Paris some time ago. Some agreements have been reached with them. That is, in the near future, they will establish the Republic of Ireland, and our country will recognize the country at the first time and give them great support. What they have to do is to be a good The flag to stop the development of the United Kingdom. Now the Irish resistance organization has formed an army of 50,000 people, and it is still expanding, but they lack weapons. Therefore, I promise to support them with a batch of weapons for free. And send officers to train the Irish army. After they form a certain combat effectiveness, they will cross the sea to attack Britain, and Britain does not even have a decent army now, so there will be a good show to watch."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It is still very cost-effective to exchange some weapons for national security.

"Your Majesty, with our support, Britain may not be the opponent of the Irish. If they are allowed to grow bigger, I'm afraid they will be too big." Dougal said with a frown. It would be bad if France cultivated an enemy for itself.

Xiao Jie laughed, and then said: "Although Ireland may have achieved some success in the early stage, in the long run, they will definitely not be the opponent of the UK. After all, the comprehensive strength of the country lies in that the UK is at least 10 times that of Ireland." The above. Besides, I only ask them to occupy the Welsh area, and it would be very good if they can hold Wales. I think Harrison (the leader of the Irish resistance organization) should also be able to think clearly, otherwise he will not be able to become a The President of Ireland. In this case, the United Kingdom and Ireland will devote all their national power to the struggle for Wales, which is of great benefit to us."

"However, since the strengths of Ireland and the United Kingdom are so different, it may not be too easy for Ireland to occupy Wales and hold this area." Gregory said.

"Of course, even with our support, if we don't directly send troops to join the war, Ireland will definitely not be Britain's opponent. But, everyone, don't forget that there is still a Scotland in the north of England. If they learn that Ireland is independent and take advantage of it If the UK's strength has dropped to freezing point and counterattacks the UK, what will they do?" Xiao Jie laughed. He firmly believes that under such circumstances, if Britain wants to become stronger, it will be more difficult than reaching the sky.

"Scotland will definitely break out against the British rule, and even counterattack the UK like Ireland. By then, the UK will be exhausted." Dougal also laughed.

"It would be great if we acted as a mediator at the right time to stabilize the situation in the British Isles." Gregory also suggested.

"That's right. But even if we want to do this, we have to wait until Britain has the upper hand and it's suitable for us." Xiao Jie said with a treacherous smile. At that time, under the initiative of France, the three countries of England, Ireland and Scotland will sit together to negotiate, and finally fix the situation in the form of a treaty. Then Britain can be regarded as being completely dismembered. Of course, France will also play a very disgraceful role in it.

"The general policy is like this. Now I am assigning tasks, and Dougal is responsible for dispatching a group of officers to Ireland to help them train the army and support them with a batch of weapons. Of course, these weapons are all eliminated by our army. Gregor We are also planning to go to Ireland, and will participate in the founding ceremony of Ireland as a representative of France. In addition, we will secretly send people to Scotland to contact those with lofty ideals to oppose the British tyranny."
