18th century total war

Chapter 167 Eating Spaghetti Is Seriously
The rise of Livy indirectly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the French revolutionary army in this world.

Originally, as a pioneer of the French Revolution, many of the political programs of the revolution were for newcomers, let alone knowing how to build a revolutionary army.

The revolutionary army originally established by the revolutionary government of Paris even completely followed the old army's aristocratic officer command method, just because these aristocratic officers were more 'professional'.

Later, because Louis XVI and his queen teamed up to liaise with aristocratic generals to "traitor" the country, the elite French border regular army suffered a complete defeat, which alerted the revolutionary regime in Paris.

No matter how professional military talents are, without sufficient revolutionary ideological awareness, they can only do bad things!

As a result, the revolutionary government of Paris carried out the first large-scale reform of the army, eliminating almost all noble officers (liberal noble officers were preserved).

After this reform, King Louis XVI's influence on the army was truly eradicated.

Later, in the revolutionary government of Paris, the constitutional monarchy fell and resigned collectively, and the last noble remnants in the army were also cleaned out, completely becoming a paradise for civilian officers.

The last slack of influence the French king and great nobles had over the revolutionary armies also disappeared.

However, although this kind of army is full of revolutionary ideas, it is precisely because of this that they are very tolerant of the revolutionary masses, causing large-scale public demonstrations and even coups to continue to break out in the capital of Paris!
This once made the army led by the government evolve into an army led by revolutionary ideas. Whoever has more supporters is justice!
The reason is very simple, if ten people hit one person, it is called bullying, and it is an act of injustice that will be cast aside.

What if 1 people beat one person?
That is justice!
Because it is impossible for you to be an enemy of 1 people, you will only accuse the person who was beaten as wrong.

This is the safest way and will not trigger internal conflicts or even civil wars.

This is actually the same principle as the law does not blame everyone.

The standard of justice of the revolutionary government in Paris today is based on this principle. It doesn’t matter whether what you do is correct or not, as long as the majority of people think you are correct!
Robespierre's ability to rise to power is not due to a small number of bourgeoisie, but to the sansculottes class!

The Revolutionary Court under the control of Robespierre uprooted the power of the aristocratic class in Paris, and the bourgeoisie also suffered huge losses. Almost all the surviving ones drew a line with the old forces of the nobility and church tradition.

However, these capitalists are resentful because the National Salvation Committee's price limit order has greatly reduced the surplus value that capitalists can earn. Cutting off people's financial resources is like killing their parents!

Therefore, the seemingly peaceful revolutionary government in Paris is actually undercurrent.

The performance of the common people is written on their faces, they will not hide, and the voices of so many people cannot be hidden.

But the thoughts and actions of capitalists can be carried out secretly. They have money and connections, and they can take it slowly and do things under Robespierre's nose.

Of course, now is not a good time. Although the anti-French alliance has been established, most of the alliance countries have sent troops, and many small countries have been attracted to wave flags and cheers, causing the entire European society to criticize the French Revolution in public opinion!
In the European international community, the French Revolution has long been publicized as a revolutionary reactionary force, representing injustice, violence, cruelty, butchers and other endorsements.

Noble nobles are even more likely to be killed than humble farmers in France itself!
In the European international community at this time, this is simply a retrogression of civilization and the growth of barbarism!

However, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it.

The Kingdom of Spain has just completed the first defeat of a hearty anti-French alliance. It is cute and shrinks within its own borders in fear. On the other hand, the Italian coalition forces are "defeated" because of a setback in an attack...

Except for the army in Naples, the armies of other Italian states are clamoring to go home to eat pasta, and do not want to participate in this war that has nothing to do with them...

Originally, the Italian state thought that in this anti-French alliance, the great powers of the European continental level gathered, and they could follow suit to pick up some bargains. The whole army also thought that they were only facing a group of French farmers who had just taken up arms.

Then they can enter France to burn, kill and loot unscrupulously, setting a record high for their family gdp...

As a result, after the first battle, they were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. The soldiers of the Italian coalition immediately thought about it.

Instead of watching God's will determine your own life and death on a dangerous battlefield, why not go home and eat spaghetti cooked by your wife!
The soldiers below the Italian Allied Forces have begun to become anti-war and war-weary. What else can the Italian generals above do?
The troops in Naples did not fight against the war because the Kingdom of Naples is located in the southern part of the Italian peninsula, so they are so poor!
Troubles come out of poor mountains and evil waters!

Therefore, the army of the Kingdom of Naples can be said to have the strongest fighting will in the countries of the Italian peninsula, but because they are too poor, many soldiers are still using matchlock guns and cold weapons...

The Kingdom of Sardinia is generally recognized as the strongest country in the Italian peninsula. This "power" is not based on typing, but on data.

The Kingdom of Sardinia has a large number of troops, many guns and artillery, and a good navy. The paper data seems to be a well-deserved Italian big brother.

However, the performance of the Kingdom of Sardinia was not outstanding on the battlefield compared to the troops from the Venetians, Genoese, etc. After being beaten up, they booed together and wanted to go home and eat spaghetti!
In the end, even the army of the Kingdom of Naples, which was the only one outstanding, was infected by these pig teammates. They felt that the French army was very powerful and there was no hope of getting rich. For the sake of their own lives, they should go home.

It's a pity that the Kingdom of Naples is too poor, and the soldiers can't afford pasta when they go home...

The divided Italian peninsula in this era is a typical example of the richness in the north and the poverty in the mountains in the south.

Therefore, many countries in the northern part of the Italian peninsula have become Austria's little brothers, persuaded by Austria's physical methods of reasoning!

As a typical rich country in northern Italy, the Kingdom of Sardinia can still maintain its independence, and its military strength is still acceptable, which is set off by a group of colleagues in the Italian peninsula.

This time the Kingdom of Sardinia joined the Anti-French Alliance and spared no effort to attract teammates. It was because of its deep ambition that it wanted to defeat France, the former European power, to enhance its deterrence among the many states on the Italian Peninsula. Down paved the way for the War of Italian Unification.

If it weren't for that poor man in Naples and the Austrian bastards who kept blocking it, the Kingdom of Sardinia would have launched a unification war long ago!
However, the battlefield was too cruel, and the Kingdom of Sardinia felt that it was not time for France to fall, and it was more important to preserve its strength.
