The King of Knights in a Different World

Don't we give back the people, give them arms, let them fight for the glory of France, for their own future."

Robespierre spoke his mind out loud.

Yes, he wanted to use this opportunity to promote his own ideal, the republic.

Although there is a parliament now, the king still has a lot of power.

This is different from his ideal country.

But it doesn't matter, he thinks now is an opportunity.

Once the civilian era is opened like now, he can use the general trend to overthrow Louis, and then establish a complete republic.

The eyes of other people looking at him also made him feel that his ideal was right in front of him, after all what he said sounded like a good idea.

It's just..., and it's just what it sounds like.

"people!"

At this moment, Bismarck sneered.

"Does the Prime Minister think my words are ridiculous?"

"It's not ridiculous, it's stupid.

Maybe you don't have such a thing as a brain.

What about the people, you must know that the ones who rebelled against us before are...the people in your mouth.

Give them the weapons now and the first thing they will do is... go on rebelling and kill you.

Do you still think France is not enough...dangerous?"

Bismarck explained the current problems in France.

If now it was changed to Britain under Lucifer's governance and was about to die, he believed that many ordinary people would fight desperately under Lucifer's slogan for the country and the future, but that...not the present France.

If those people could have fought for France, they wouldn't have rebelled before.

"How can it be.

Your Excellency, from your words, you don't understand the people at all."

Robespierre looked at Bismarck ironically.

At present, he has gained the trust of Louis and is the chief member of parliament, but the biggest political enemy standing in front of him is... Bismarck.

"Oh, you understand."

"certainly."

"Knows better than the tyrant you call the King of Britain"

"What do you mean"

"What I want to say is that the tyrant you speak of is in the south by sending the wealth of the nobles to the 'people' to buy some useless tools in their hands, and at the same time cutting taxes.

With just these two policies so far, he's making the people you say feel better off living under the King of Britain.

And the people who forced the people to rebel were you, me, and everyone sitting here."

Bismarck expressed his opinion.

This is what he finds very ironic.

The aristocrat in front of him... who keeps saying he is the people, actually doesn't understand the so-called people at all, and the one who really understands the needs of ordinary people is precisely the tyrant he calls.

When it is difficult for a person to survive, if you talk about honoring the country, the other party will only spray you to death.

"..."

"I think when other ordinary people hear the news from the south, they may wish to have Britain rule the country.

If you want them to fight for the glory you say, at least feed them first."

Having said that, Bismarck looked at this... nobleman with contempt.

no.419 Desperate battle

Having said that, Bismarck didn't look at the... visionary again, but asked Louis directly.

"Your Majesty, what did Marshal Charlemagne say?"

"Brother, he asked if we could take back Verdun."

"Currently there are 50,000 British troops stationed in Verdun, and it is almost impossible to take it back in a short time.

Marshal Charlemagne would say that, which means they have nothing to do.

And if it takes a long time, there will be problems with Marshal Charlemagne's food.

How long can they last?"

Bismarck is different from Robespierre, he belongs to the practical school.

And experienced.

"Less than a month."

"Less than a month.

This is just an official statement, maybe the situation is worse, maybe only 20 days.

In such a short time there is no way we can retake Verdun."

Bismarck articulated the most critical issue.

time.

It's not impossible to give them a little more time.

But now there is no way.

"Prime Minister, what advice do you have?"

"Your Majesty, please order! Order Charlemagne to go out of the city and fight to the death with Britain."

"What"

Louis almost thought he had heard wrong.

"Don't ask him to defeat Britain, at least let Britain's army be seriously injured and cannot continue to attack. Only in this way can we have the capital to negotiate.

There are nearly 400,000 troops on the front line. If we can fight to the death, Britain will be unable to advance eastward.

That's the best outcome for the time being."

Bismarck uttered one of the most ruthless decisions.

He also understands that the frontline army is very mixed, and there are many new recruits, the chances of winning in a face-to-face confrontation may not be great.

Otherwise, Charlemagne would not have to hide in the fortress.

But even if you die, you still have to hold your back.

This was what Bismarck had in mind.

Only in this way, Britain will not continue to fight at the risk of losing both sides.

Of course, Bismarck still has unspoken facts.

That is, even if both sides lose, part of the territory in the west and the south of France will definitely not come back.

But at least the worst outcome, the subjugation of the country, will not occur.

"..."

"Also, recruit recruits from the east, no matter...

Did those soldiers... pull out their training to let the King of Britain see that France still has the strength to fight."

"..."

Hearing Bismarck's almost crazy words, Louis fell silent.

He doesn't know what will happen to France after losing all the troops on the front line.

Can Britain really stop?

These are all unknowns.

But suddenly, Louie discovered a focus that was very beneficial to him.

Yes, if you use Bismarck's strategy, you get the best results.

At that time, Britain could not move forward and was forced to negotiate peace.

And his marshal brother, that... the successor who is a threat to him is likely to die in this battle.

In this way, no one can threaten his current position.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind.

"Prime Minister, do you have to do this...?"

On the surface, Louis deliberately closed his eyes, as if in great pain.

"Your Majesty, I have no other choice.

If you have my suggestion, I have no objection.

But the immediate situation is that the sooner the better, otherwise once the time drags on, the morale of the army may collapse.

Reminds Louis.

time.

This is the most terrible thing,

Macino was under siege, news of the fall of Verdun reached Maginot, and the morale of the army might collapse at any time.

If you want to work hard, you can only go as fast as possible.

Once it is delayed for a long time, maybe some timid nobles in the army will go out and surrender, and it will be true at that time.

"Okay, I will order immediately."

Louis said immediately.

"Your Majesty, please give me the order and bring it back!"

Afu also understood the situation in front of him.

He didn't blame Louis, it should be said that he also thought of this possibility before coming.

Just accept the result for now.

"General Astolfo, no, you can't go back.

I may lose my elder brother soon, I don't want to lose another excellent knight, and the new army in the royal city will need you to lead."

Louie stopped Ah Fu's progress.

Although letting Ah Fu go will increase the odds of winning, but only a little.

Since Bismarck said so, it is likely that all the troops on the front line died in battle.

At a time like this, he didn't want this... knight to die.

Or, he wants the other party to stay and protect him.

"Your Majesty, please let me go back, there are some comrades in arms there."

"General Astolfo, this is the king's order.

Staying here is more useful than going to die."

"Who can send the letter back without me!"

"I'll let people sit on Wyvern and fly back."

So far, this meeting has decided the fate of the front-line army.

A Wyvern carrying a letter flies in the direction of the Maginot Fortress.

Inside the city of Verdun, Lucifer was reading the latest information in his hand.
