Napoleon II Reborn

Chapter 527: Defensive breakdown

On August 26, when Davis returned to the United States. The war that devoured the novel on the British Isles has changed again. The situation is more favorable for France. The trio of President, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the Conquest of Ireland declared unanimously that they did not mean to join the alliance of the United States and Canada two years ago. coerced by the United States.

Now, at the request of the general public and in the interests of justice, they officially announce Ireland's withdrawal from the union of the United States and Canada. And declared war on the United States and Canada. All Irish troops will fight across the country against the United States and Canada. Until all the troops deployed by the United States and Canada in Ireland are wiped out or surrendered.

On the same day, a French marine division landed in Dublin. It will be coordinated with the Irish army's attack on the US and Canadian forces. Currently, Ireland has a total of 10 divisions, while the United States and Canada have only 3 divisions in Ireland. Although the number of Irish troops is not large, Vice President Robert has been focusing on the training of the army, making the Irish army's combat effectiveness very high. Although not as good as the U.S. Army, it is not far behind. It should be much more powerful than the garbage. Moreover, the French army also landed a marine division, which made the situation facing their US and Canadian troops even more severe. [bsp; Their resistance lasted only one month before they failed. The last 20,000 remnants were defeated and handed over their weapons to the French army.

And Ireland, also announced again. With the help of the French allies, defeat the evil United States and Canada, and regain their homeland. In fact, it is a military base of the US military. And reiterated that when the French army attacked North America in the future, if necessary, Ireland would also send troops to support it.

In this regard, France naturally welcomes it. The world is too big for France to occupy it all. France needs allies, and as long as France can remain strong, the loyalty of these allies can be guaranteed. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Irish army is much higher than that of the British army, and it will be more reliable on the battlefield in the future. At the same time, Ireland will also contain each other with the United Kingdom, which is more conducive to France's control.

The fall of Ireland to France caused Davis to collapse the "Davis Line of Defense" that Davis had spent two years and spent countless material and manpower building. The blockade of France in the North Atlantic has become no longer perfect due to the emergence of the huge loophole of the British Isles. The entire line of defense is only supported by the small islands in the north of the United Kingdom and Iceland. It is useless. Moreover, France still did not let go of these areas, and still organized fleets and marines to attack.

At the end of September, these areas were all captured by the French army, and the forces of the United States and Canada were once again driven out of Europe. The whole of Europe was once again under the rule of France.

Driving the power of the United States and Canada out of Europe is only the first step in the French counterattack. Although the "Davis Line" was destroyed, the United States and Canada lost hundreds of thousands of troops. However, this did not hurt the fundamentals of the United States and Canada. Between the two sides, across the vast Atlantic Ocean. If the landing cannot be achieved and the opponent is completely defeated in one go, the opponent still has a chance to recover.

Judging from the human resources of the United States and Canada, as long as there are enough weapons and equipment, it is not a problem to arm hundreds of thousands of troops. Even the lost warships can be replenished within a few months.

The same goes for France. But neither side can afford a war of attrition. Once caught in long-term consumption, both countries will be dragged down. Especially France, the whole of Europe is prostrate at his feet because of the strength of France. Once it is dragged down, then there will be a situation like Napoleon's period of being mobilized and attacked.

Therefore, France must speed up the process of the war. At least defeat the navies of the United States and Canada as soon as possible, burn the flames of war to the North American continent, and let European countries see the hope of victory.

Moreover, the 500,000 European coalition forces organized were originally intended to be used in Britain. But Britain saw the situation clearly and turned to France without hesitation. making them useless. But France did not ask them to disband, and Death continued to be stationed in northern France. Because, the war against the United States will soon begin. They will come in handy soon.

The French Navy is also fully prepared. Except for the Straits Fleet, which was severely damaged and unable to return to its peak combat power, the other fleets were all at their peak.

France has always believed that as long as the navy can defeat the US and Canadian navies, then it means that the war can end. It is impossible for the US and Canadian armies to withstand the powerful French army. Even after the expansion of the French Army, the combat effectiveness has declined; even if the combat effectiveness of the US Army has increased after the influence of the war, this result cannot be changed. This is the unique confidence that belongs to the French Army.

Therefore, everything depends on the navy. This makes the Navy Commander Burt feel a lot of pressure. Although the strength of the French navy is already very strong, he still dare not take it lightly. After all, the U.S. and Canadian navies are not vegetarians either. What's more, the US and Canadian navies still have a great advantage in terms of numbers. If it weren't for the emergence of the 'Brilliant' fleet, Boult would only have a 50% chance of winning at most. After the birth of the 'Brilliant' fleet, it was raised to the seventh floor.

At the end of September, all preparations for war in France came to an end. After two years of accumulation, various strategic materials are piled up like a mountain. The army, navy and air force are all ready. However, because the ocean is separated, it is still difficult to cross the ocean with the current airship technology. It is estimated that the chances of the air force going to the battlefield will be relatively small. Even if you want to go to the battlefield, I'm afraid you have to wait until the army completes the landing. All three armies are gearing up, waiting for His Majesty's order.

On the night of September 28, the majestic Elysee Palace was brightly lit. The commanders of the French army, navy and air force all gathered here. Every regiment commander in the army, except for the three regiments in South America, all arrived. The commanders of the various fleets of the navy also arrived, and the chief of staff stayed at the base to command the fleet, just in case.

At the long conference table in the conference hall of the Elysee Palace, more than 20 marshals and generals sat on both sides of the conference table. Xiao Jie is in the top position, and on both sides of him are Dougal and Eke.

"Marshals and generals. It has been 3 months since the war started from the beginning. After the efforts of the whole army, we have successfully driven the United States and Canada out of Europe and brought Europe back into our hands. At the same time , completely defeat that ridiculous 'Davis' line of defense. Let Europe regain peace. However, everyone should not be proud, this is just a warm-up. The bigger battle is yet to come. We must go all out to fight The United States and Canada are completely defeated. Do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy?" Xiao Jie asked loudly.

"Victory will belong to France!" All descendants replied loudly. During the two years of the truce, these marshals and generals did not rest, but instead devoted themselves to intense training and preparations. This is true of both the navy and the army. The navy has added a large number of new recruits and new warships, which require sufficient running-in to form combat effectiveness. The number of shells fired by the navy alone in order to train the accuracy of shelling is an astronomical figure. Coupled with the simple fire control system composed of new ranging devices and aiming devices, these all require hard training again and again to find out a systematic and effective method for mo. Not to mention the army, two years of hard training is enough to make those new recruits lose their childishness. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, they conduct actual combat exercises every year, and the number of casualties is no longer small. As long as they experience the baptism of real war, they can become the best army. This time they landed in England, the 4th French Army, the 7th Army and the 12th Army all performed quite well. It can be regarded as a satisfactory answer for the two years of training.

"Everyone, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has been preparing for more than two years, and this is the only time I'll read it. I believe you can't wait. I also believe that you will never let His Majesty the Emperor and the whole of France down." Du Gore also said.

Everyone's eyes shone with confidence. For the upcoming battle, they have great determination.

"Everyone, I want to remind everyone. After two years of preparations, plus the previous wars. Now the French economy has reached an extremely difficult moment. Social contradictions are also very prominent. This battle is not only between us and The war between the United States and Canada for world **** is also the best way to divert social conflicts. If the war fails, perhaps the enemy will not be brought in. The economy will collapse, and social turmoil will follow. The consequences of this If the entire empire collapses, other countries in Europe will definitely use this opportunity to try to get rid of the empire's control. At that time, the empire is likely to perish. Therefore, I hope everyone can remember. We only have such a chance. If you fail, you will be benevolent. Moreover, we need to end the battle as soon as possible. I am very worried about whether the economy can survive until the day of victory." Xiao Jie said seriously. No matter how powerful the country is, militarism is still not enough. France has almost been hollowed out by successive years of war. What's more, the past two years have been hoarding strategic materials wantonly, which are greatly consuming national power. If it weren't for the extra income gained from the war, and Xiao Jie himself subsidized the national treasury with his personal property, the finances of the French Empire would have collapsed long ago.
