The envoy sent by Napoleon sent a letter to Suvorov. In this letter, Napoleon first highly praised the fearlessness of the Russian army in battle, and then pointed out: "There is actually no problem between Russia and France that must be solved by war. In order to be fully usable. Some small technical issues resolved through negotiations have caused the young people of the two countries to bleed needlessly. This is an incomprehensible tragedy."

Napoleon proposed to Marshal Suvonov that a truce should be reached first between the two sides. As for the "small misunderstandings" and "small problems" between France and Russia, it can be left to later and negotiated by the two governments.

Napoleon also proposed to Suvorov that the two sides choose a location to negotiate on matters related to the armistice.

After sending away the French military envoys, Suvorov gathered the Russian generals together. He first showed the letter sent by Napoleon to his generals for everyone to read. After everyone had read it and whispered about it, Suvorov asked, "What do you think of this letter?"

"The Archduke John of Austria has been proclaiming these days that the French have suffered a major setback in the north, and Napoleon's army will soon receive an order to withdraw troops-it seems that what the Austrians said is entirely possible."

"But if I want to tell you, what the French said is pretty good. Could it be that Italy can really give us a piece of land? Even if we and the French desperately, taking advantage of their retreat opportunity to **** Italy over, it would not be cheaper for Austria People. What can we get? I think it’s better to negotiate terms with the French. For example, we can get some technology from the French. Compared to the British, I think the French may be better in science and technology. ."

"I agree with Antonov's later statement. I think the French are more advanced in science and technology than the British. At least in army-related technology, the French must be the world's first."

"Let me say, we should send people to France to study systematically. To..."

"Actually, let me say that there is absolutely no need for us to fight with France. On the contrary, we should form an alliance so that the East is ours and the West is theirs. How great!"

"You think it's okay, but the French and the Turks have always been together."

"Why do the French want to be with the Turks? Isn't it just to deal with the Austrians? We are much better than Turkey. To suppress the Austrians, the French can..."

Everyone talked about it. Although everyone said something different, one thing was the same, that is, everyone didn’t really want to fight the French, at least they didn’t want to be with the French. War in distant Italy.

Suvorov listened quietly. He knew that this attitude was not only the attitude of these generals, but to a large extent, it was also the attitude of the vast majority of soldiers. They didn't want to continue to fight the French.

Theoretically speaking, chasing after the French army retreats, it might be a big victory. But looking at everyone's morale and thinking about the combat effectiveness shown by the Army, Suvorov felt that even in the field, most of the Russian Army today cannot beat the French Army. If you can use negotiation and get some good things from the French back, it seems really good.

As for Austria, Marshal Suvorov felt that the blood shed by the Russians was very worthy of the Austrians. If the Austrians are dissatisfied with the truce, they can fight the French themselves. Well, we can support them spiritually.

Now that we have this understanding, the negotiation between the two parties has become quite smooth. Napoleon and Suvorov met in a manor, and both parties presented gifts to each other and reached an agreement on the temporary suspension of hostilities.

Then Napoleon left a part of the army behind, and took the army north to fight the British.

Discovering that the main force of the French army is retreating northward, Grand Duke John finds Suvorov and said that this is a good opportunity, and he will follow it. Maybe he can take advantage of the main force of the French army to retreat and take back Italy.

In response to this request, Marshal Suvorov said: The French are very cunning. If they rush to catch up, they are likely to fall into the trap of the French. Therefore, you must be cautious when chasing. In addition, the Russian army suffered a great deal before and is now unable to pursue it.

What made Archduke John even more speechless was that Marshal Suvorov's attitude, at least the attitude of "be cautious in pursuit", even received universal support from Austria. Austrian generals also said that the French are very cunning, and we had better respond to the changes with the same.

Therefore, the main force of the French army swaggered northward under the Russian army's "be cautious" and the Austrians' "same change in response to changes." And even after very reliable information has been obtained, the main force of the French army has gone north, and there are only less than 10,000 French troops behind them and the 40,000 troops gathered to "defend the free Northern Italian Federation". The Italian federal army is gone, and the Russians still look "cautious".

Although the Russians are cautious, but the Austrians are active. They felt that fighting against the French themselves, even if they were behind the French army, was dangerous, but they were confident in fighting against the Italians. Italian, who hasn’t seen it?

So the Austrians went up to position A, which they believed to be the Italians, and then they played GG. The defeated Austrian said to the Russian: "We met a French in Italian clothes!"

So the Russians also said logically: "We have already said that the French are very cunning, and we must act cautiously. You don't listen, you see, are you fooled? The French are really cunning."

"Yes, the French are so cunning!" The Austrian agreed.

Napoleon took more than 60,000 elite French troops and once again crossed the Alps and returned to France. As soon as he returned to the country, news came that the British and Prussian forces were approaching Verdun.

The French army, which had been defeated from Liège, retreated to Versailles, losing their armor and armor all the way, and joined the more than 100,000 supplementary soldiers in Versailles to guard Versailles. At this time, there was a strange error in the French information system.

In order to transmit information quickly, the French established a special system that uses light signals to transmit information. This system is like this:

The French built high towers at intervals on the road from major cities to Paris, just like beacon towers built by countries in the Far East.

But the information that this system can transmit is much more complicated than that of Parllay, because it uses flashes of different lengths to transmit information like a telegraph. The sender turns the information into long and short flashes, and then sends them out at a fixed time. When the tower over there sees it, it records the flashes and sends them to the next station repeatedly, so that they can be relatively compared. Transmit more complex information to remote places quickly.

In Alexandre Alexandre Dumas’ novel "The Count of Monte Cristo", Edmund Dantes bought a signalman, let him deliberately send false information through this system, which led to an economic fluctuation and took advantage of this Fluctuation bankrupted his enemy Tanglar.

Almost as in the novel, a signalman was bought by royalists and changed the news that "General Bonaparte won a major victory in Italy and has led the army northward and returned to France" into "General Napoleon suffered a major encounter in Italy." Frustrated, Marshal Suvorov led an army across the Alps and invaded France."

This news caused a mess of the members of the Paris governorate. Some guys even got into the wagon immediately and prepared to flee. Several high-ranking officials who had fled were recognized by inspectors on the road, and then they were pulled back by the angry crowd.

This fleeing incident almost completely bankrupted the prestige of the government. If it weren’t for new and corrected news, the people of Paris would almost start an uprising.

The "Science Pravda" issued a special issue, in which General Bonaparte had won a decisive victory in Italy and had already led the army back to France. News that he was heading north was disseminated everywhere for free. "Long live General Bonaparte" shouted everywhere in Paris.

But when the people of Paris were rejoicing with the good news, Joseph was summoned urgently by Kano.

"Lazar, what happened?" Joseph saw Kano's face and knew that something terrible must have happened.

"Joseph, there is one thing I must leave to you to deal with." Cano said.

"What's the matter?" Joseph asked.

"Ruber is injured again, and he is still unconscious..." Cano replied.

It turned out that not too long ago, in a modest tentative battle near Verdun, the commander General Roubert, who always liked to run to the front, was hit by a bullet and injured, and he could no longer command the army. . And his deputy, General Moreau, was still on the front line of Cato at this time, and because of the local enemy's situation and distance, he could not rush to Verdun to replace Joubert. So the French army in Verdun was temporarily in a state of no commander.

"Damn it!" Joseph said, "Lazar, what are you going to do?"

"Now I can only let you replace Joubert, temporarily serving as the commander-in-chief of the French army at Verdun~lightnovelpub.net~ Kano said, "Now, I have no more suitable person than you. "

"What?" Joseph was taken aback. "Me? Damn it... I've never commanded an army to fight!"

"No, Joseph, you have commanded it. You have commanded the Red Army and have taught us other generals many times during exercises. Besides, there is no such thing as a general in our place. If Berthier is there, maybe I can still get him up to the top, but now, there is only you."

"I have actually left the command and operation of the army for a long time."

"But you still have legends in the army. And these years, you are actually leading the technological and tactical changes of the army."

"But you said I am a technician, so why..."

"Don't be it, if there is a more suitable person, I don't want you to go. But, including me, no one is more suitable for this position than you. Okay, Joseph, don't be humble, the Ministry of War has decided , This commander-in-chief will let you be..."
