Napoleon II Reborn

Knowing that the rising United States and Canada would become new threats to France, Xiao Jie immediately called for important members of the cabinet, including Prime Minister Cambáceres, Deputy Prime Minister Forbeck, Foreign Minister Grigio, and Deputy Foreign Minister Kang Penny, Finance reaches Ottooff. And several bigwigs in the military, including Dugor, the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, Eck, the chief of the general staff, and several regiment leaders in Paris: Thomas, commander of the 88th regiment, Monty, commander of the 89th regiment, French th Dawu and others from the 1 Legion Corps came to discuss countermeasures together.

In less than half an hour, all the staff arrived. Before starting, Xiao Jie also circulated the report submitted by the Military Intelligence Bureau. After reading the report, almost everyone's face changed.

"I didn't expect the United States and Canada to develop into the current scale in more than two years. We were too careless. We should have pursued William and others and not given them such a chance." Combaceres regretted a little explain.

"Yes! With the strong technology and financial support of the UK, they can't do without developing and growing. But we didn't find out as soon as possible, otherwise we could have prepared earlier. We don't want to be in such a hurry now. Forbeck also said with a sigh.

"It's all my fault. I was too negligent. As a result, I left France with such a powerful enemy." Xiao Jie took the initiative to accept the fault. It wasn't really his fault, and it wasn't MI's fault either. Just because France's focus at that time was to solve the threat in Europe, it put almost all its energy on the European war, and naturally it didn't have much power to pay attention to the Americas.

No one dared to reprimand Xiao Jie, seeing that he took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself, they all opened their mouths to admit their mistakes.

"Okay, now is not the time to pursue who is at fault. The main purpose of calling everyone here today is to discuss with you how we should deal with the threats from the United States and Canada," Xiao Jie said.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we should take the initiative to provoke the United States and Canada now. After the United States and Canada did not take the initiative to tear us apart, I think we should maintain the status quo. In the war that is not over yet, although our army is already victorious, But the loss is still very large. Besides, the war here is not over yet, and we can't fight on two fronts. That would be very detrimental to us." Combaceres first expressed his opinion.

Xiao Jie nodded. In the war against Russia, although Nicholas and the others were beaten to the point of being helpless, it is not the time to relax. There is also the possibility of a resurgence. Xiao Jie would not allow this to happen, because it meant that all the work he had done before would be in vain.

"Dealing with the United States and Canada is not as good as our dealing with countries such as Austria and Russia. Because we are separated by a vast Atlantic Ocean, it adds a lot of difficulty to our attack. If we want to go to war with the United States or Canada, it means that our The army must cross the Atlantic Ocean. In this case, it is difficult for us to transport the army troops. According to the current state, we can only send at most one legion to the Americas at a time, and the United States and Canada combined are almost Millions of troops. Therefore, it will be difficult for the troops we landed to withstand the counterattack of the US and Canadian troops." Dougal said with some concern. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, he considered it more from a military point of view.

"Another point is that if we want to send troops to the Americas, we must ensure the safety of the route. Now, the navies of the United States and Canada have been greatly developed, and their total strength is almost comparable to ours. Therefore, the entire western Atlantic region is no longer safe for us. Unless our navy can gain an advantage, it will be difficult for us to really threaten each other." Eck also continued.

"In addition, there are also big financial problems. The war against Austria and Russia has almost consumed all the strategic materials in stock. If we hadn't prepared for it, I am afraid that the economy is already in crisis. I want to say The most important thing is that in the next year, we can support the war against Russia at most until the end of the war. As for the expedition to the Americas, I think it will definitely not work without five years of preparation time." Otov also said.

After listening to everyone's suggestions, Xiao Jie now realizes that France is already facing so many problems, and things are not as simple as he thought before. The successive wars almost consumed all the accumulation of 10 years. Although the war also brought huge benefits to France, these benefits cannot be manifested in a short period of time. This undoubtedly brought a lot of trouble to Xiao Jie's plan to suppress the threat in the cradle.

"Your Majesty, according to the current relationship between the United States and Canada, I think they must have secretly signed a similar alliance treaty. If I go to war against one country, it means that we must face two enemies at the same time. For For our country, which has lost a lot of strength, this is undoubtedly quite difficult." Grigio also said.

"So, I think we should still focus on ending the Russian war and restoring our strength. Only when Europe is pacified and its strength is restored, can we send troops to Europe. As long as we can integrate the strength of the whole of Europe, we can only develop How can the United States and Canada, which have been around for decades, be our opponents?" Forbeck concluded.

"I also understand what everyone means. Before the strength is restored, we will try our best to avoid conflicts with the United States and Canada. However, there are some things we can't avoid if we want to. Now, the news that our country has suffered heavy losses in the war, presumably the United States He and Canada have already learned about it. Do you think they will let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" Xiao Jie said bitterly. When will a powerful country like France become the target of other countries' troubles.

"Damn Americans and Canadians. After our country's strength is restored, please allow me to lead troops to land in the United States and kill those despicable and shameless people." Davout said angrily.

"However, even though our country has lost a lot of strength, the navy has not lost, and the army is completely stronger than the two countries. Although it may be difficult to attack the American region due to the barrier of the Atlantic Ocean, it is not difficult to defend our country. "Dougal said confidently.

"I'm not worried about Europe. It's about Latin America." Xiao Jie said with a wry smile.

Now everyone understands what Xiao Jie is worried about. Perhaps the United States and Canada do not have the strength to attack Europe, but for Latin America, which is under their noses, it is basically a beautiful woman without clothes, facing two vicious hooligans. It's not up to people to play however they want.

"Latin America has very rich natural resources and has become an important part of our country's dependence. After losing Latin America, our strength will inevitably be greatly affected. After the United States and Canada get Latin America, their strength It will definitely increase again. With the ebb and flow, the situation will be very unfavorable to our country." Compini explained what Xiao Jie was really worried about.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about. We have only four infantry divisions stationed in the entire Latin American region, and they are very scattered. If the United States and Canada suddenly attack, we may not even have time to react. If you don't, you will lose control of Latin America." Xiao Jie said worriedly.

"Then what should we do?" Cambaceres also asked anxiously. Not for anything else, but the Latin American region is too important to France. If the Latin American region is lost, France's strength will be greatly affected.

"There is no other way now. The only way is to send more troops to the Americas to strengthen the military strength of the region. Only in this way can we hope to hold Latin America. Due to the current situation, I decided to send The strength of a legion will continue to increase after the end of the war with Russia ~www.wuxiaspot.com~. After some consideration, I have decided to entrust this task to Marshal Davout’s French 1st Legion. At the same time, the Navy We must also act immediately. We must grasp the maritime initiative in the Atlantic Ocean and ensure the safety of the route. Due to the strong strength of the US and Canadian navies, I think we should take the initiative to abandon the North Atlantic region and concentrate our strength on the southern and eastern Atlantic to ensure the safety of the route from Europe to South America," Xiao Jie said.

Everyone is very much in favor of his proposal. It's just that there are some disputes over which legion to send to Latin America. The 89th Army also wants to go, and Monty is also aware of the current situation in Europe. Russia is almost doomed under the strong pressure of the French army. If they stay in Europe, it is basically impossible for the 89th Army to participate in the war. However, Xiao Jie had already made up his mind, so he was a little helpless.

"Your Majesty, I'm worried that even if the French 1st Army arrives in Latin America, if the United States and Canada are determined to seize Latin America, I'm afraid we will not be their opponents." Eck said with some concern.

"To be honest, I didn't expect the French 1st Army to withstand the attacks of the United States or Canada after arriving in Latin America. After all, there is a gap in strength. Therefore, if the United States and Canada send troops to attack Latin America, there is no need for our army Face them head-on, and immediately retreat to the southern region. When necessary, you should have the awareness of a strong man breaking his wrist."
