Napoleon II Reborn
Chapter 91: british landed
The next day, Davout's army marched into the city of Berlin. At this time, there were no Prussian soldiers in Berlin. They either fled to Königsberg with their king, or simply laid down their arms. This made Berlin a completely defenseless city. The reason why Davout's corps was chosen to march into Berlin was because they made the most contribution in the war. Let them be the first army to enter the enemy's capital, which can be regarded as a kind of reward for them.
In order to win the favor of the new ruler, the remaining officials in Berlin forced all Berlin citizens to stand on both sides of the street to welcome the French army into the city. But there was not even a hint of welcome in people's eyes, only endless anger and resentment. If it weren't for the police standing in front of them, they would definitely rush forward and drive those invaders out of Prussia.
Davout wore a brand-new marshal's uniform, rode a tall horse, and drove into Berlin with his army with a proud face. This is the second capital of a major European country that the French army entered (the first was Vienna, Austria), and Davout's legion was the first French legion to enter, which is of great significance. Looking at the Prussian eyes that seemed to be eating people, Davout felt very comfortable. This may be the reason why so many people pursue victory without hesitation. The winner can abuse the loser without restraint, whether it is physically or mentally.
That afternoon, Napoleon also reached Berlin. Napoleon came to the city of Berlin. As soon as he entered Berlin, he first came to the bust of Frederick the Great and took off his hat to the German warrior he admired. Frederick the Great was a legendary monarch in Europe. It was he who made Prussia leap from a small third-rate country in Europe to one of the land powers in Europe. Now even the capital is occupied by others.
That evening, in Berlin's town hall, Napoleon organized a small dinner, but since most of the legions were still fighting, there were not many people in attendance. Only Imperial General Besiel, the commander of the Imperial Guard. Marshal of the Davout Empire and chief of staff of the Imperial Guard Mario. Brigadier General Andresi, commander of the 88th Army, Brigadier General Dougal, deputy commander, and Colonel Eck, chief of staff. Napoleon's bodyguard, Major General Balotte, and Napoleon's secretary general, Major General Diloc. Among those who attended the dinner, the three members of the 88th Regiment were undoubtedly the lowest in rank. But fortunately, their head is the crown prince of the empire. Once they inherit the throne in the future, they will rise with the tide, so this dinner is an exception and requires Dugel and Eke to attend.
After entering Berlin, Napoleon refused to live in the Prussian Royal Palace in Berlin on the grounds that it was too luxurious. According to Napoleon, living in it would make people lose their fighting spirit. Perhaps because of the victory and the smooth progress of the battle, the dinner has been going on in a very relaxed and happy atmosphere. But at the end, a staff officer made all this relaxed atmosphere dissipate, and all he did was hand over a battle report to Dillock.
At first everyone thought that it was just another battle report whose legion was going to win, because they had received many such battle reports these days, which showed that the war was going very smoothly.
But after reading the battle report, Dilloch's face changed drastically, and he quickly handed the battle report to Napoleon, and Napoleon's face changed after reading it.
Everyone was very surprised, what happened, did any legion lose the battle? It's really shameful, even under such circumstances, you can still lose the battle, but even this will not make His Majesty the Emperor lose his composure.
In the midst of everyone's speculation, Napoleon said a few minutes later: "The British landed three days ago."
After hearing the news, everyone was shocked. Because in the previous confrontation with the British, the British basically blocked the coastline of France by virtue of its maritime superiority, so that France could not receive various material support from the colonies. less. In previous wars, Britain basically provided weapons and funds, while other countries on the European continent sent people to fight against France.
"Your Majesty, where did the British land?" Xiao Jie asked. He was as eager as anyone else to figure this out. There are no more than two places where the British landed. One is the mainland of France, using the main force of the French army to directly attack the old nest of the French army when they are fighting abroad. The other is the Netherlands, because the French army does not have many troops stationed in the Netherlands, only eight regiments with 20,000 people. After killing the French garrison in the Netherlands, they can go east to support Prussia, or go south to threaten the French mainland. However, the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth legions are still stationed in France at this time. In addition to the necessary troops that need to guard France's huge territory, France can at least mobilize one or two legions to participate in the attack on the landing British army. Therefore, it is obviously unwise to land directly on the mainland of France, and the result is obvious.
Sure enough, Napoleon said: "The British army landed at North Wijk in the Netherlands at two o'clock in the afternoon on the 18th, and a battalion serving as a guard was quickly defeated. By the afternoon of the 19th, the number of British troops landing had reached 50,000. And their forwards have arrived in Amsterdam and The Hague respectively. General Saarn is organizing the army in the Netherlands to prepare to fight the British army."
"Where is His Majesty King Louis?" Xiao Jie asked. After all, Louis is also one of his uncles, and it is very necessary to "care" properly.
But Napoleon was very angry when he heard the name of Louis, and finally he roared: "Louis is a coward, he actually fled back to Paris. I will punish him, and I will abolish his throne. Send him to a court-martial..." Because of his excessive anger, Napoleon seemed a little incoherent.
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Because Louis is the king of the Netherlands, the highest military and political officer in the Netherlands (although these are actually in the hands of Napoleon), but he left the 20,000 soldiers in the Netherlands and fled back to Paris by himself. Is it funk? The empire's punishment for desertion is very heavy, ranging from abolition of titles, removal of official positions, and direct hanging. I don't know how Napoleon will come out of Louis, but at least he is also a member of the imperial family and Napoleon's favorite brother. This is indeed very exciting, and I believe that many people in the royal family would be happy to replace Louis.
Although everyone knows that the 20,000 garrison troops alone cannot stop the British attack, such an obvious escape still embarrasses the royal family. So it's no wonder Napoleon was so angry.
After Napoleon's anger slowly dissipated, Xiao Jie asked: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the British army that landed?"
The most important thing now is not to be angry with Louis, but to come up with a solution. Napoleon also realized this very quickly, so he also quickly controlled his emotions. "How many troops do we have now to support the war in the Netherlands? The British must be wiped out in the Netherlands, and they cannot be allowed to attack France or Prussia. Even if they cannot be wiped out, they must be dragged in the Netherlands, etc. After we deal with Prussia and that stupid and greedy polar bear, we are slowly cleaning them up."
As Napoleon's secretary-general, Dilloch always has the latest intelligence and army movements. "We can only use a few regiments in Berlin and four domestic regiments. But we have to pay attention to the Russian attack, so the regiments in Berlin can't be used yet. We can only transfer the domestic regiments to enter the Netherlands. .”
Napoleon nodded, then looked at Xiao Jie, and asked, "Andresi, what good idea do you have?"
After thinking for a while, Xiao Jie said: "I think we should immediately transfer Marshal Soult's Seventh Army into the Netherlands to fight against the British."
Napoleon frowned and said: "A legion of Marshal Soult alone may not be enough."
Xiao Jie continued: "Marshal Soult's Seventh Legion is currently the most powerful among all the legions in China~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With them, plus our original garrison in the Netherlands, their strength It has basically equalized with the British, but the condition is that the British will not send other troops to land. Then, now Marshal Marmont's Second Army and Marshal Lanz's Third Army are chasing Blucher and peace According to their situation, the remnant Prussian army led by the Duke of Weimar should be able to complete their mission very quickly. At that time, they only need to transfer one of their two legions into the Netherlands. Even if the British army that landed cannot be wiped out , At least they can be completely suppressed in the Netherlands. More importantly, we can deploy more troops to deal with the upcoming Russian attack."
Napoleon nodded, he agreed with Xiao Jie's proposal. He looked at the others and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"
Now that the emperor and crown prince of the empire agreed, they had no other opinions and agreed one after another. Moreover, this was the best method available at the time.
Then, Napoleon issued a combat order: Marshal Soult's Seventh Army immediately marched into the Netherlands to fight against the British army with the garrison originally stationed in the Netherlands. The Second Army of Marshal Marmont and the Third Army of Marshal Lanz stepped up their attack on the Prussian remnants led by Blücher and the Duke of Weimar. The Field Marshal's Seventh Army formed a north-south attack together, and wiped out the British expeditionary army as soon as possible. At the same time, each legion seized the time to complete their respective combat tasks. The Eighth Army of Augereau serves as a reserve force for the two battlefields. Once something unexpected happens, the Eighth Army will immediately go to the battlefield~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Welcome to read, the latest, fastest, hottest All serialized works of Mtlnovel are available at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~
