18th century total war

Chapter 109
Cenavi's words made Kanol and the liberal aristocratic generals around him stagnate, and the resentment and firmness in the eyes of many of them began to waver and fell into deep thought.

Family interests are very important to these liberal aristocratic generals, because their current status almost all depends on the energy of the family to get to this point!

Without a family, they are no different from those civilian officers, let alone generals, they won't even be able to get the rank of major, which they don't look down on, in this life!
In fact, as a veteran captain Wright who survived the American Revolutionary War, the reason why he was not promoted to major was mainly because of his civilian status.

This is not to say that in the current Kingdom of France, officers of civilian origin cannot cross the threshold of a major, but to take this step, civilian officers need to put in dozens of times more effort than noble officers!
Of course, because of this, the constitutional monarchy in power today has a poor reputation among the grassroots in the army. The grassroots in the army often appear. After the Paris Revolution, the army still used the same rhetoric.

This also gives those Jacobin parties who want to be in power and represent 'public opinion' the opportunity to infiltrate the army!

The dominance of the constitutional monarchy in the Legislative Assembly of the Parisian government is now at stake!

Of course, the political circles of the Paris government have little to do with these high-ranking people in the Normandy region, or they have no time to think about the changes in the situation in the Paris government.

Senavi glanced at the liberal aristocratic generals whose faces changed suddenly, and said in a relieved tone: "Continue to fight, we are doomed to fail, and there is no benefit except to anger the commander of Li Wei's rebel army, Karl.

Based on the behavior of Li Wei's rebels, once the damage is too large when they attack Caen, they are likely to set up troops to burn, kill and loot in Caen!

It's not that the Li Wei rebels haven't done this kind of thing. At that time, do you think they can still save their lives?
If you have already made plans to escape, why don't you follow me to negotiate a favorable 'truce' treaty with Karl now?

While we still have the third line of defense in the suburbs, the street barricade defense line in the city, and tens of thousands...tens of thousands of troops, our lives and personal property should be preserved.

After all, it is not difficult to see from the process of Levi's rebels conquering the Brittany region that they are more reasonable than bandits and the like. "

Kanol looked at the "companion" he brought over with a silent tone, and listened carefully to Senavi's words, and couldn't help feeling anxious and even frightened.

"Don't listen to Senavi's bewitching!

Once we surrender, the family behind us will inevitably be liquidated by the Paris government, and we will also be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Kingdom of France!

Do you want your own family and your own name to become traitors remembered by future generations?
Senawi is a pariah capitalist from the third class, he has nothing to lose, but we are different from Senawi!
We are the nobles of France, the most noble group in the Kingdom of France, without the Kingdom of France, we are nothing! "

"Kanol, why are you so sure that Levi will not win the final victory?
Li Wei is not a foreign invader, he is also a nobleman of the Kingdom of France... Oh yes, the Paris government ordered the revocation of the Charles family's noble title and all fiefdoms, but the current Paris government does not belong to the king.

Today's France, in my opinion, is the king of the strong and the strong. You have personally experienced the combat effectiveness of the Black Dragon Legion established by Li Wei. As long as you give Li Wei enough time to expand more Black Dragon Legion, the current Parisian government really Can you beat Levi?
Don't forget, the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces have assembled to launch an offensive on the French border.

The Paris government is now overwhelmed, and it is a question of whether it can stop the interference of the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces, let alone suppress Li Wei.

Otherwise, we would not let those of us train the army to resist Li Wei's Black Dragon Army. "

Before he knew it, Senavi had changed the title of 'Levi's Rebels' to the Black Dragon Legion. The people present were not idiots, so they could naturally hear Senavi's political stance.

In other words, Senawi has negotiated favorable conditions with Karl, the commander of the Black Dragon Legion?

"Shut up, you traitor!"

Seeing the expressions of more and more companions changing, Kanol couldn't help roaring.

"Ha ha!"

Senavi sneered, and continued to spit out: "Kanol, are you really not afraid of death?
Even if you are willing to die for the current revolutionary government in Paris, why do you drag your colleagues around you to die with you?

I'm not a heartless person either. If any of you are unwilling to surrender and bear the so-called infamy, you can leave Caen with your own people and weapons.

The strength of the Black Dragon Legion is far less than ours, and they have no ability to surround the city of Caen. It is easy to leave now.

When the third line of defense collapses, the outskirts of Caen are likely to be reduced to battlefields. At that time, it will be very easy for Karl to surround the naked city of Caen.

Even the soldiers of the Provincial Allied Forces in our hands have no morale at all to fight fierce street battles with the lunatic Black Dragon Legion.

What the atmosphere in the army looks like today, you generals should know better than me, the speaker. "

"Senavi is right. If we continue to fight here, we may not even have a chance to escape. I chose to leave with my people. I hope you will not stop me!

Does anyone else make the same choice as me? "

A liberal aristocratic general who had helped Kanol before, glanced at the other colleagues, apparently giving up trying to stop Senawi from surrendering.

To put it bluntly, I am still greedy for life and afraid of death!

He is not optimistic about Li Wei's success in the end, and he doesn't want to be smothered to death in Caen by Li Wei's army. Of course, the best choice is to run away while Caen is not surrounded.

Carnor stared at the general who was about to run with a sinister look. Although the other general had no intention of surrender, he also gave up the city of Caen!
The city of Caen is the core of the Normandy region, everyone can escape, but Canol cannot escape, because the headquarters of the Canol family is located in the city of Caen!
Otherwise, how could Kanol's status be so detached in the provincial coalition forces, and he could command other liberal aristocratic generals to obey orders?
Although Senawi, the plenipotentiary speaker, is the boss, it has always been Kanol who actually commands the war!

"Senavi, you traitor, I will kill you!"

Kanol, who was resentful, suddenly took out the flintlock pistol he carried with him and pointed at Senavi who had no weapons!
