Make France Great Again

Chapter 119 The General Staff Headquarters

The killing of hundreds of thousands of people?

Jerome Bonaparte's voice was not very loud, but all the officers present felt a bit of chill and fear.

France has not carried out a massacre of more than 100,000 people for nearly 30 years since the emperor abdicated. The enemy of the army, the army only needs to dispatch a few thousand to ten thousand troops to destroy them.

It can be said that the whole of France, and even the whole of Europe, is about to lose the ability of large corps to cooperate in combat. The most typical example is the Austrian Empire. The Austrian Empire, which has been singing and dancing for thirty years, can't even win against its own militia.

During 184849, the Habsburgs launched three attacks on the Hungarian region. The governor of Croatia, Josip Jelacic, Prince Wendisch Gretz, and the emperor himself did not defeat Hungary, which was formed by the National Self-Defense Forces. When Transylvania invaded Hungary, Hungary gave up resistance.

The armies after the Napoleonic Wars have generally begun to degenerate.

Of course, the more wars are fought, the stronger they are. The endless security wars are likely to push the army into the abyss of the same level.

Jérôme Bonaparte clearly remembered that after the disintegration of Mao Xiong, the Eagle Commander, who was deployed all over the world, was in command of Ermao's house. The Eagle Commander, who had rich experience in public security warfare, was surrounded by two tank divisions at the beginning. After that It is even more retreating.

At the end of the war, the Ermao government army, which was on the offensive, was counterattacked by the split East Ermao.

It can be seen that if there are too many security battles, it is easy to fall to the same level.

After a brief surprise, the expressions of all the officers present became excited.

In any case, an "auxiliary agency" capable of commanding hundreds of thousands of people must not be taken literally.

Lieutenant Colonel Lebouf suddenly thought of what he had heard from a former military attache in the Algiers colony. The power center in the Prussian army was not in the Ministry of War, but in the General Staff. Isn’t it an auxiliary institution for the army? !

Thinking of this, the blood in Lebouf's heart that should have been silent began to boil again.

For every soldier who aspires to make great achievements, it is undoubtedly a great honor to be able to command a war of more than 100,000 people.

History will leave a strong mark on them, just like the emperor and his marshals.

Le Boeuf subconsciously glanced at Jerome Bonaparte. He was not sure that the emperor's nephew could achieve the same feat as his uncle, but he was willing to try it.

Seeing that the discussion in the combat conference hall was getting louder, Lebouf, who was at the forefront of both power and age besides the president, cleared his throat and shouted: "Quiet!"

Everyone stopped rioting, and they all looked at Lebouf.

Leboeuf's eyes signaled Jerome Bonaparte to go on.

Jérôme Bonaparte told all the officers present what he had told Minister Ljuelli two months before.

The military officers who felt profitable expressed that they must separate government orders, and it would be best for them to hold the power to issue orders to the army.

Jerome Bonaparte satisfied their imaginations. His fingers swept over all the officers present one by one and said: "You will be the witnesses of this separation of government orders, and you are also participants! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" All the officers present wanted to shout with all their strength, and they couldn't restrain their excitement at all at this moment.

"Good! Very energetic!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction. What he needs is a wolf that can howl and not prey, not a group of weak lambs.

"Mr. President!" Trochu gestured to Jerome Bonaparte. He had a question to say: "What is our specific task? I can't wait to start!"

Bazin asked straightforwardly, he didn't want to waste his time in endless meetings.

Jerome Bonaparte thought for a moment, and then said: "Good question! As the military secretariat, you shoulder the fate of the whole of France, and your task is to make practical preparations for possible wars! "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was stunned for a moment, they did not understand what Jerome Bonaparte meant.

Could it be that other countries are coming to invade France again?

After hesitating for a moment, Lebouf cautiously raised his hand and asked, "Mr. President, is someone going to invade us?"

"No, no, no!" Jerome Bonaparte explained, shaking his index finger: "No one among them has come to invade us!"

All the officers present breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they like to invade other people's territories, they don't like to pull the front line to the country. In that case, God knows how France will be ruined.

"What I mean is that in times of peace, we must formulate some corresponding plans, predict the possible appearance of enemies and their positions, predict various complex possibilities, and distribute troops reasonably!" Jerome Bonaparte Seriously said to the officers: "This is not an easy job, so I asked you to come here! We are not going to invade a certain country, we are just to make ours have more room to maneuver, when the enemy comes , mobilize as soon as possible."

Many people present understood part of Jerome Bonaparte's meaning, and their silent eyes revealed complicated emotions.

"So your first task is to collect as much information as possible in the areas your group is responsible for. I need to know their numbers, religious beliefs, and even the enemy's military strength in those areas." Jerome Bonaparte Pointing to Leboeuf, he said, "Lieutenant Colonel Trochu!"

Trosh, who was still thinking about the meaning of the president's words, instantly realized and stood up and said, "Yes!"

"You will lead a team to survey all the terrain, humanities and even the deployment of troops in the German region in eastern France. I need detailed information and maps!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Leboeuf.

"Yes!" Trochu replied again.

"Lieutenant Colonel Bazin, you are in charge of the terrain and all the data in the Italian region in southern France. You can communicate with the Ministry of War about this!" Jerome Bonaparte issued another order.

Trochu also readily accepted Jerome Bonaparte's orders.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lebouf, you were in charge of the news in the Near East. I must know how many troops we can mobilize once the war starts, as well as the supplies that can be carried by the Near East. Find me soon!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed to Leboeuf and said.

"Yes!" Lebouf responded again.

In his heart, Lebouf has vaguely felt the importance the president attaches to the Near East. Perhaps the two regions before are just smoke bombs released by the president.
