Chapter 164 Anti-French Alliance
More than a month after King Louis XVI of France and his queen were executed, the Kingdom of Great Britain, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Sardinia jointly joined the covenant between the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, officially announcing the establishment of the Anti-French Alliance !
After the establishment of the Anti-French Alliance, in just one month, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal assembled a regular army of more than [-] people, as well as a considerable number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians, at the passage of the Pyrenees Mountains on the southern border of the French Republic. Army service.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Spain is still mobilizing its troops, and has a great appetite to cut off a piece of territory from the French Republic.

The Kingdom of Sardinia successfully won a large number of allies among the many states in the Italian region. With the support of the European powers, it didn't take long for many Italian states, including Naples, the "power" of the Italian peninsula, to join the anti-French alliance. .

It's just that at this time, the Italian states are fragmented and chaotic, with small countries and few people. It is impossible to send many troops. Most of the Italian states are in the stage of waving flags and cheering. Only Naples and other Italian powers have sent a small number of troops. The Kingdom took the lead and formed the Italian Allied Forces.

The Italian Allied Forces launched an attack from southeastern France, and their troops pointed directly at the Alps of the French Republic!
The rest of the countries, except the United Kingdom, are gathering in the north of France, taking the Austrian Netherlands as their first strategic goal, and Fatis has become their primary target of attack...

Fatis is now a famous general under the command of the Paris Revolutionary Government, no matter in the eyes of the French people or in the strategic planning of foreign forces, and he has a lot of troops in his hands.

Moreover, after the Fatis defeated the main Austrian force in the Austrian Netherlands and occupied most of the Austrian Netherlands, they immediately implemented military control in the occupied areas of the Austrian Netherlands, carried out compulsory grain and grass collection, and often sent troops to 'Grain harvesting' in the countryside.

The people of the Netherlands were tortured by Fatis, and countless innocent farmers were turned into corpses during the process of food requisition by Fatis troops...

In addition, in order to enhance his personal prestige in the newly reorganized army, Fatis continued to arrest African-American women and girls in the Austrian Netherlands, imitating the priests in the Li Wei regime, and established a relatively simple Army women's camp.

Of course, it is impossible for Fatis to establish a well-established Jiaofang Division. This military women's camp is a place for officers and soldiers to vent.

Among them, the beautiful girls were individually screened out for the officers to use, while the women and the girls with average looks were all locked in the camp and given to the soldiers on duty. According to the time limit, each army had the opportunity to use it in shifts. .

Fatis didn't dare to let go of the restriction, because he knew exactly how 'powerful' the group of big soldiers below who hadn't returned home for a long time were.

Once he let go of the restrictions, these women's precious resources are likely to be turned into corpses by them... What a waste!

Since all of Fatis' actions were within the territory of the enemy's country, Fatis's army, which was mainly composed of Frenchmen, had no sense of guilt when committing all kinds of evil deeds, and even made Fatis's reputation in the army skyrocket. .

The vast majority of the officers and soldiers of the former Northern Army were grateful to Fatis. Without Fatis to lead them to victory, they would not be able to enjoy this kind of life at all.

After all, the family conditions of the French who joined the army are not good, and women are a 'luxury' for them, let alone changing women to sleep in different ways!
Throughout the ages, the generals of the army who are going out like to indulge the soldiers to capture the enemy's women for fun, because this method is a very low-cost way to improve morale and win the hearts of the soldiers.

Compared with giving money and food, it is much cheaper!

The most important thing is that the resources of women can be used repeatedly, as long as they don't die in one round, that's enough.

Fatis gathered the troops through the misfortune of the Austrian Netherlands and made up for the loss of morale caused by the large number of casualties in his previous command operations. At the same time, he sent people to report his achievements to the Paris Revolutionary Government and demanded that the Northern Army be restored!
The revolutionary government in Paris saw that Fatis was living a good life on foreign soil, involving many of the main forces of the Prussian-Austrian coalition, and preventing the Netherlands from rushing into France. Naturally, it was happy to have Fatis standing there as a shield.

The main role of the British in the anti-French alliance is to use the fleet to transport supplies to supply allies, control the sea, and look for good opportunities to land on the mainland of the French Republic.

Then the British discovered that the large coastal areas in the north and west of France were occupied by the army of the Kingdom of New France!
The landing of a large army does not mean that you can just find a coastline. Transporting troops to land in this era of limited shipping capacity has high requirements for landing terrain and ports.

Otherwise, even if the troops are sent to land without a steady stream of sufficient supplies, they will be driven into the sea sooner or later...

After all, sea-going ships of this era cannot unload cargo supplies in large quantities on many coastal terrains, and supplies cannot land in shallows like soldiers!
Therefore, if you want to obtain a stable landing point, it is best to choose a port location or a natural deep-water harbor. These sites suitable for landing are naturally the focus of defense on the French mainland coastline.

Without a suitable landing point, it is impossible to deliver a large army in a short period of time. As long as the coastline defenders are not blind, deaf, or foolish, the landing troops will face more and more enemy troops rushing over sooner or later, and will eventually be driven into the ocean.

The London government is naturally unwilling to land on Levi's territory, because Levi's asking price is too high!

And don't care about the food!

All in all, just cry poor!

In addition, the London government's support for Li Wei's regime has always been tepid, and it is even more unwilling to accept various "unreasonable" demands made by Li Wei, and sit back and watch Li Wei grow stronger.

Of course, there is another very important point. The London government believes that the landing on Levi's site is of little strategic significance. Anyway, it is not the site of the French Revolutionary Government. After landing, the British army has to pass through a large area occupied by the Kingdom of New France To be able to get the enemy...

Instead of this, it is better to choose a good port in the south of the French Republic in the Mediterranean Sea to land and fight. It just so happens that the Kingdom of New France is preparing to attack the south of France, which can attract a large number of Revolutionary Army for National Salvation.

Therefore, the London government was not in a hurry, and waited for Li Wei to fight against the French revolutionary government, and then reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

In the eyes of the Anti-French Alliance, the New French Kingdom established by Li Wei is not at all orthodox. Now it is only because everyone has a common enemy that they have not attacked the Li Wei regime!
