"The German troops are withdrawing faster than our troops because the distance over which they withdraw is much shorter than ours.

Now the German army has withdrawn to 50 divisions in the mainland, and there are still 55 divisions on the front line, but they are still retreating one after another.

There are no signs that the returning German troops have continued to return to the front line. Some troops are even heading towards the French-German border.

In these days, the activities of German spies increased significantly in Alsace and Lorraine.

Moreover, our intelligence personnel discovered that the German border troops are also increasing." The intelligence staff stood in front of Napoleon and reported to him the recently collected intelligence.

"I understand, how is the situation of our army?" Napoleon's heart sank. He knew that Germany had made peace with the Ming Dynasty.

And according to the signs from the German army, their next goal should be to attack France.

Damn the Germans for being so treacherous!

But there is nothing to blame. As an emperor, Napoleon knew one thing.

There has never been any friendship between countries, or things like fairness, morality, and morality. All those who say these things are just farting.

There is only one relationship between countries, and that is a relationship of interest, a naked interest relationship.

The advantage is that we are all friends. We can drink together, chat together, play with women together, and there is no problem if we are brothers-in-law.

But there is no benefit, haha, a sword-to-sword encounter takes only a matter of minutes.

"The withdrawal of our troops is more troublesome, mainly because the transportation capacity is somewhat tight. Moreover, the distance for us to return to the country is more than twice as long as that of the Germans.

Even though we have discarded a lot of heavy equipment, our transportation capacity is still very tight.

So far, we have only sent back the Third Army and the Fifth Army.

Because they were relatively close to Kiev, they were sent away first.

The Fourth Army is on its way to be transported!

The First Army and the Second Army are gradually retreating. We abandoned Kherson a week ago and Kharkov three days ago.

I believe that when they return, the Fourth Army will have been transported back to the country.

The remaining command post and the first and second armies will take about fifteen days. This is still the fastest speed!

Moreover, the Ming army will not launch a large-scale attack." The intelligence staff reluctantly closed the intelligence folder.

"We can't throw away heavy equipment. We will still need to fight in the future." Napoleon murmured to himself.

As an artillery commander, he naturally knows the role of artillery in war.

The glory of his career was all brought to him by artillery.

It would be an insult to him to ask him to give up his cannon now.

"But we don't have enough transportation capacity, what should we do?" the staff officer said helplessly.

"Recruiting Italian trains, they don't have much to transport back to Italy anyway.

Order the Italian troops and the Romanians to go to the front line.

Anyway, those who are chasing us are Russians, so it is just right for them to fight together!" Napoleon thought about it and suddenly came up with a solution.

"But our troops cannot return home immediately after arriving in Italy! Besides, the Italians...!"

"The troops who arrived in Italy walked back home.

The Italians will agree, otherwise I will disarm them first." Napoleon looked ferocious.

In order for the French army to return to the country, he risked his life.

No matter what, we must bring all the troops back. Only by bringing back all the troops can we last long enough in the future battle to defend France.

"Send a telegram to Murat and ask him to organize troops to return home and set up defenses on the French-German border.

There are fortifications built a few years ago, and they may still be usable after some rest.

At the same time, let him organize factories to move money and relocate them all to places more than 200 kilometers away from the coastline.

I don't think the British can hold Gibraltar much longer. If Gibraltar falls, our Atlantic coast will become a target for Ming warships.

And those damn planes, they fly much further than cannonballs.

Finally, expose the German army’s crimes in the European Parliament. Let all Europe know the German army’s perfidy.”
