Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth two chess pieces
Napoleon naturally couldn't hear the curse of the Austrian governor, but even if he could hear it, perhaps Napoleon just smiled at it, because at this moment, there was a huge plan in Napoleon's mind.
, and a very important part of this plan is the Austrian Governor.
The British Expeditionary Force's disastrous defeat shocked the entire British-occupied area. Even less than two days after the war, the entire Netherlands learned about the British Expeditionary Force's complete annihilation. This news not only made Napoleon's reputation in the Netherlands for a while.
The time has reached the point where children can stop crying at night, and it also makes different sounds sound within the Dutch government.
The British are indeed very powerful, but that is just a navy. The British navy can be enemies of the whole world without any hesitation, but the British army is far from that. This aspect is inseparable from the British domestic policies.
Yes, this British expeditionary force is 80% of the British Army. After sending out this army, there were only 10,000 troops left in the entire British land.
Now that he had defeated the British army, Napoleon's army had a crucial voice in northern Western Europe. To be honest, if Napoleon commanded his troops to the Netherlands, then sweeping across the Netherlands was just around the corner.
While the Dutch learned the news, the British government and George III, who were far away in London, also received the news. After learning that the British Expeditionary Force had been wiped out, Pete fell into a dull state.
In the state, then I saw that Little Pete could no longer hold on and fell down with a bang.
You should know that for the expeditionary force, the British government paid a huge price, because the UK has never supported such a large-scale army operation. Therefore, in terms of logistics and coordination between local governments, Pitt was involved in every detail.
Yes, this made it impossible for Pete to rest after the expeditionary force to meet the normal requirements, and the bad news at the moment was enough to make Pete, who was exhausted, unable to support it anymore.
After George III learned the news, his performance was not much better than Pete Jr. George III and Pete Jr.'s emotional change caused a cloud of clouds to fill London.
The first thing Pete woke up was to go to the London Palace to ask for a meeting with George III. After a full four hours of talks, the British top leaders reached a resolution to continue to persevere in the war.
After Pete left the palace, the first thing he did was to draw a part of the senior London officials to form a large delegation to Prussia.
Now that the British Expeditionary Force is defeated, the British government needs to consider more things. The first thing to be affected is the security of Hannover, and the second is that Britain needs to stabilize Prussia and must not allow Prussia and Fa'ao to reach a reconciliation, once European countries are
If a settlement is reached between the two countries, the isolated British will undoubtedly lose the right to speak on the European continent.
At this moment, Napoleon led his army in the Austrian Netherlands, and from this area to the Prussian land, there was no way to stop the force of this army, including the Hannover area.
Of course, the British didn't know what Napoleon was planning. If the British government knew about it, I'm afraid that Pete and George III would have laughed to death in their dreams.
Britain started a new round of large-scale convening of troops on the mainland, but the situation in the country is not very good at the moment. Although Scotland and Ireland have been ruled by the English for centuries, these two regions have never stopped resisting the English.
Actions to rule for independence.
Therefore, in these two areas, the British had to keep a considerable number of troops. Previously, the British remained in the more than 10,000 troops, and nearly 9,000 were divided into the above two areas.
The British government plans to recruit 40,000 troops within three months, and all of these troops will go to Hannover to prepare for war, and of course, while preparing for war, they will also conduct military training.
Of course, all of this is a situation where the situation has not changed drastically. If the Dutch made peace with the French, or if Napoleon abandoned Britain and attacked Hannover directly, the method adopted by the British is obviously useless.
However, the British government does not think that the Netherlands dares to betray the British. You should know that the reason why the Netherlands is rich is its superior estuary and large overseas colonies, and these places are all under the threat of the British Royal Navy. It can be said that the British are
The French are unable to do anything, but if the Dutch have different opinions, then the British have the ability to reverse the Dutch economy for more than fifty years!
To some extent, the Netherlands is a maritime power like Britain. After the British ascended the throne of global hegemony, the Netherlands' status has declined a lot, but the Netherlands also has certain strength.
Of course, these strengths are reflected in the ocean. On land, the Netherlands has a total of less than 20,000 army troops.
While sending a mission to Prussia, the British government also sent an envoy to the Netherlands. The envoy brought a treaty that clearly stated that the Netherlands was necessary to send troops to cooperate in the situation where the British asked.
British troops fight.
Although there was an alliance treaty between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, the British-Dutch alliance agreement did not include the battle against France. After all, the Dutch government is not all fools. Everyone knows that compared to Britain, the Netherlands is closer to France.
Offending the French is obviously not a good idea for the Netherlands.
However, since the military development has reached now, the British government has no longer allowed the Dutch to maintain this close and distant state.
....................................
Just as William held a public memorial in Bratner to commemorate the soldiers who died in the battle in the western suburbs of Bratner, an Antwerp report was also delivered to William.
When he saw the news that Napoleon won the victory and wiped out the British Expeditionary Force, even William became a little stunned.
Although the Battle of Bratnaxi consumed a considerable part of Prussia's power, the battle ended with Prussia's victory. Therefore, after discussing with Dessau, William prepared to assemble a large army to take advantage of the morale of the Austrians just now.
Large-scale offensive.
At this moment, not only Dessau was standing beside William, but also Buel was found after the war.
Buel's ear was shot by the previous Austrian pursuers, and the bullet knocked out most of Buel's left ear, but finally, God blessed him, he survived.
Buel, who had a circle of gauze on his head, whispered to William:
"Your Majesty, you see that the situation has developed to this point. Are we going to let the swallows and the harrier hawk move?"
Hearing Bouel's words, William was a little confused. William had never underestimated Napoleon, but at this moment, William found that he had underestimated Napoleon's ability. In William's original vision, he used the super luxurious configuration of the British Expeditionary Force.
At most, Napoleon was just a victory, but who knew that it had become a complete annihilation now!
The swallow and harrier eagle mentioned by Buel are two pieces that the Prussian intelligence agency spent a lot of energy to arrange. In William's vision, these two pieces will be astonished as they are, and they will be astonished as they move!
When Dessau mentioned the swallows and the hawks, Dessau stood a little confused, but as a smart man, he also knew that there were many things in this country that he did not know, and he also did not know about these things.
He had no right to know and had no right to speak, so Dessau stood aside and pretended not to hear.
"Buel, do you think it's appropriate now? And I think it's necessary to hear Hans's meaning in this matter!"
Buel has the royal intelligence agency in his hands, but William has long had an imperial edict. The royal intelligence agency can only target Prussia. Domestic military generals, government officials and domestic major events are the focus of the royal intelligence agency. As for Swallow and
Spies like Harrier Hawk who can affect the situation between countries are trained by the Prussian national intelligence agencies controlled by Hans.
Of course, as the head of the royal intelligence agency, to a certain extent, the business of Buel and Hans will overlap to a certain extent, so under the coordination of William, some important things will be between Buel and Hans.
Only by knowing it in your heart, Buel will know the two crucial characters, Swallow and Harrier.
"Your Majesty, I think Your Excellency Hans will definitely agree with this!"
It is not unreasonable that Buel is so anxious. You must know that Napoleon's army only takes one week to march in Prussia. At present, there are not many left-behind troops in Prussia, and even the Brandenburg area, the capital of Prussia, is only there.
The five thousand militias temporarily recruited were responsible for the garrison, and this force had no effect in the face of Napoleon's threat.
Seeing the sad face on Buel's face, William also thought deeply.
After a while, William made up his mind and said to Buel:
"Send someone to contact Hans immediately and tell him to start the Swallow and Harrier Eagle as planned, and make sure that things will develop according to our plan!"
Seeing William make a decision, Buel's expression also relaxed. Then he and Dessau signaled with their eyes and left William's side.
"Your Majesty, what will we do next?"
"Dessau, the current situation no longer allows us to act according to our previous ideas. You must know that Napoleon's army is only one step away from our homeland. At this time, we should consider the local security and we must never let the French go.
Dirty feet step on our sacred land of Prussia!”
When Dessau heard William say this, he felt a little regretful, but he still responded.
