"Roberts, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking? Don't you want to keep us all in Lyon and help you defeat those feudal armies? Then you can take advantage of this opportunity to force those Louis X
6. Accept your idea of a constitutional monarchy."
After hearing what Giggs said, Robles's face turned a little livid. It is undeniable that he did have such thoughts in his heart.
In Robles's mind, as long as the rebels in Lyon can defeat the advancing French army, Robles can take advantage of the power of victory to send envoys to the Palace of Versailles to discuss the possibility of a constitutional monarchy with Louis XVI.
Presumably after seeing the fighting power of the rebels, Louis XVI would seriously consider Robles' proposal. If Robles succeeds, then he will become a hero in France! Cromwell is no more than that.
!
Of course, this kind of idea can only be hidden in Robles' mind, and it is impossible for him to make his ideas public.
"Giggs, Louis XVI has assembled an army of 50,000 people. Do you think our army can defeat the well-equipped French army? In my opinion, if we want to win, we must go all out
Guard Lyon. Besides, no one knows your inner calculations. We all know where your troops came from! How many families in Lyon have been ruined because of your selfishness. Isn’t there a trace of sin in your heart?
Don’t you think so! When you said you wanted to send troops to promote some revolutionary ideas, you didn’t just want to use this method to give your robbery a good-looking name!"
"Roberts, I'm not doing this for everyone!..."
Before Giggs could finish speaking, Lafayette, who was sitting at the top, turned dark and shouted loudly:
"Stop making any noise, please be quiet!"
After the roar, everyone in the room became quiet, and when everyone's eyes focused on Lafayette, he said coldly:
"Giggs, what Robles just said is right, your people have gone too far! Without my consent, who asked you to send people to various towns to force people to join the army, and you know
I don’t know that because of your greed, our army is full of unstable factors, and those people who were brought in by you who destroyed their families. Do you think they will really be willing to fight for us? "
The rhetorical question left Giggs speechless, but in Giggs's heart, he was dismissive of Lafayette's statement. Yes, it was Giggs's people who forcibly pulled the young boy, and that's right.
It was also his people who went to plunder supplies, but every time when Giggs' men returned with a full load, which time did Lafayette not take away the strongest of the people who Giggs had finally brought in in the name of recruitment?
! Even those supplies were taken by Lafayette! And the task of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness was also issued by Lafayette. Why should all the shit basins be placed on his head now!
Before Giggs could get angry and want to accuse, Lafayette turned and pointed at Robles.
"Roberts, we all regard the cause of revolution as our lives. What we should do now is to unite all forces, instead of creating discord within ourselves like you!"
After seeing Robles deflated in the hands of Lafayette, Giggs had a hint of a secret smile on his face.
"Yes, the combat effectiveness of those French troops is indeed strong. It would be dangerous if we divided our forces at this moment. So I think we should concentrate all our forces in Lyon. If we want to resist the French army's attack and maintain
We have a hard-won good situation, there is no doubt about it!”
"So I decided that the first army would be stationed in Lyon for defense, the second army would be stationed in the town of Delek outside Lyon as a support, the third army would be deployed near the town of Joel in the south of Lyon as a back-up. And the fourth army would be
Together with the first army, we will set up defenses in the city of Lyon as a general reserve army!"
According to the division of the rebels, the 20,000 people controlled by Lafayette were divided into the first army, while the 30,000 capitalists were divided into the second army. The third and fourth armies were sent by civilians such as Giggs.
Composed of people.
"Your Excellency Lafayette, I have a problem! Why is our Second Army stationed outside the city, while the Third and Fourth Army are assigned to the rear? This is unfair to the Second Army!"
Just after Lafayette revealed his combat plan, Robles loudly questioned him, and his actions made Lafayette frown.
"Your Excellency Robles, you also know the composition of the Third Army and the Fourth Army, and the weapons of these two armies are not complete. Relatively speaking, the weapons and equipment of the Second Army are more complete, so I asked the Second Army to deploy
In Drake Town, we are also making the best preparations for the upcoming war."
Lafayette's explanation did not satisfy Robles. Just kidding, this time the French army came from Dijon in the north, which meant that the French army's attack route was naturally from north to south, and unfortunately it was Drake.
The town is located just north of Lyon.
"Your Excellency Lafayette, I think the strength of the Second Army alone is really weak. You must know that the French army has a total of 50,000 people. With so many enemy troops, the Second Army alone is unable to complete the blockade.
On mission!”
"Well, what Mr. Robles said does make sense, so how do you think we should deploy our defenses?"
As he spoke, Lafayette looked sharply at Robles.
"This, of course, depends on your arrangement!"
After noticing Lafayette's eyes, what Robles originally wanted to say was helplessly swallowed back in his stomach. He bowed and respectfully asked Lafayette for instructions.
Seeing that Robles was able to correct his attitude in time, Lafayette nodded to express satisfaction, and then said:
"What Mr. Robles said makes some sense. Let's put it this way. The Fourth Army will be arranged in the south of Delek Town. At that time, the four armies will line up in a straight line and carry out layer-by-layer sniping against the attacking French army. I think even those methods
The army's push into Lyon must be exhausted. Of course, the fourth army must cooperate with the second army. Any disobedience will be punished according to military law!"
After seeing everyone's clear attitude, Lafayette ordered again:
"All ministries must send more scouts. According to my estimation, the French army should not be too far from Lyon. From now on, the entire fifty-mile radius centered on Lyon must be filled with our scouts!"
After Lafayette made his decision, everyone in the room took the order and left. They had to admit that Lafayette did have a high reputation among these people.
From Lafayette's true intention, he would rather play the role of regent of France. In Lafayette's view, France is much better off with a king than without a king. Don't mention anything else. After all, France is better.
The Bourbon dynasty ruled France for so many years. Although it had many enemies on the European continent, the Bourbons also had many friends.
Once the Bourbon royal family is overthrown, not only will the enemies of Bourbon not be united, it will even make the friends of Bourbon turn hostile to France. Once it reaches this point, it will drag the entire France to the opposite side of Europe, because the monarch
There is a natural hostility towards democracy, but the mainstream in Europe is still monarchy!
But for the time being, Lafayette can't think that far ahead. The most important thing right now is to defeat the invading French army, otherwise everything will be in vain! (To be continued. If you like this work
