18th century total war

Chapter 205 General Mobilization Before the War

"For the sake of revolution, for freedom, for equality, and for fraternity, the National Salvation Committee ordered that all officers and soldiers of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army must not retreat innocently on the battlefield. The regiment commander died in battle, as long as there is one survivor, he must fight to the death..."

A very harsh and humanitarian document was issued to the various departments of the Southern Army Group, which was mainly attacking.

This document was directly issued by the National Salvation Committee to the frontline troops, bypassing the Ministry of National Defense.

At the same time, the frontline troops also received instructions from the Jacobin commissioner from the Paris capital to go to various troops for pre-war mobilization.

Wilkers, a major officer who came from a small capitalist family, stood in front of his officers at all levels. As a major battalion commander, he could only brag against the scorching sun with his privates at this time, holding his chest high. Look up and listen to the preacher shout from the podium.

"We fought the Levi rebels not only for ourselves, but for the revolution, to keep our family's allotment of land, to keep our brothers, sisters and parents from starving, to keep our relatives from Shivering in the cold winter!
Jacobin brought us freedom, allowing us to sit on an equal footing with former aristocrats, and let us live together in a big family of fraternity. This is exactly the future of France we need, and it is also the backward and corrupt French Republic. The superiority of the Kingdom of France.

The Kingdom of France belongs to the king and the nobility, but the French Republic belongs to every French citizen!
What we sacrifice now is the well-being of our family members, and the experience necessary for our future generations to continue to enjoy freedom, equality, and fraternity!
The Li Wei rebels on the opposite side are trying to rebuild the Kingdom of France. Li Wei, the evil devil, wants to destroy everything we have so hard to have!
Citizens of France!
answer me!
Will you agree! "

"No!

Hit Li Wei's reactionary aristocratic regime, safeguard the victory of the French Revolution, and establish a French Republic of freedom, equality, and fraternity! "

Under the influence of the preacher, earth-shattering shouts of "Down with Levi" soon came from the school grounds.

Even Wilkers, who was a major and battalion commander and had a wider experience, was infected by this atmosphere, and shouted along with a group of private soldiers.

Human emotions are very easy to spread in a large group, especially when most people believe that this emotion is the right choice!
Through large-scale pre-war mobilization speeches, the Southern Army successfully swept away the gloomy atmosphere brought about by the huge casualties in the previous battles.

Flooded with revolutionary blood, they wished they could immediately grab their muskets and bayonets and rush forward to fight Li Wei's army.

Even if Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion is not afraid of death, they will fight with explosive packs all over their bodies!

Although Li Wei in Toulouse City did not know that the Southern Army Group of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army had begun impassioned pre-war mobilization, the frequent mobilization of the Southern Army Group had already made the generals on Li Wei's side understand that the French revolutionary government could no longer sit still!
Since Li Wei launched the concentration camp plan, the concentration camp-style labor offices in the rear of the southern part of France occupied by the Kingdom of New France have rarely been attacked. Even if attacked, those low-level guerrillas will be stationed around them soon The garrison and security regiments repelled.

The biggest convenience of the concentration camp plan is that concentration camps can be placed around big cities and traffic points. These places are all garrison regiments with good combat effectiveness, plus a large number of security regiments stationed.

In the Kingdom of New France, the combat effectiveness of the local security regiments is just a general impression, which does not mean that the security regiments in all places have no combat effectiveness.

Because the salary of the security team is directly linked to the income of the local government, except for big cities and economically prosperous transportation points, the security team's military salary in most places is pitifully low, and there are even security teams using obsolete matchlock guns Soldiers naturally don't have much combat power and desire to fight.

However, for the security groups in big cities and major transportation points, their income is quite considerable, at least higher than that of ordinary citizens. The armed forces attach great importance to the training of the security regiment.

This makes the combat power of the security regiments in big cities and transportation points generally higher than that of ordinary local security regiments.

Because of this, most of the local security groups that the guerrillas fought against were ordinary garbage local security groups, and it was difficult to get in touch with the security groups in big cities and major transportation points.

Let the guerrillas generally have the impression that the combat effectiveness of the security regiment is weak.

After the concentration camp plan was implemented, many guerrillas, driven by Jacobin liaisons, gathered to launch attacks on concentration camps in big cities and transportation points. As a result, they were beaten to death and bloody by the security regiments led by the garrison corps. Teach the guerrillas in the rear a profound lesson.

The loss of the guerrillas quickly spread in the southern part of the New Kingdom of France, which indirectly promoted the security and order in the occupied areas of the southern part of the New French Kingdom.

The concentration camp labor service in the rear was no longer threatened, and the military production and logistics transportation could keep up. Naturally, the life of the Black Dragon Legion was very comfortable, and the war hardly caused much economic burden on the area under Li Wei's control!

This is the benefit of fewer soldiers!

The stability of the basic order has further gained some popular support for the Li Wei regime. The term "people's peace of mind" is applicable everywhere.

No matter how dissatisfied the French civilians are with Livy, they all express disdain for his integrity, and no matter how harshly they scold him, they are extremely unwilling to join the guerrillas to fight against Livy's regime!
It's better to live than to die, and it's not bad to say bad things.

Because of this, even though Li Wei's reputation in France was already bad, and the public opinion propaganda was pushed to the ground by the French revolutionary government, there were not many people in the controlled area who actually took up arms against him...

Compared with some countries in the 21st century, where they dare to hold up signs and even take out guns to march on the streets, is the infamy that Levi has shouldered a big deal?
Why is Li Wei full of contempt for the French people of this era, and dismissive of the support of French public opinion?
It is because Li Wei has captured the characteristics of the civilian class in this era!

That's the way the people of this era are. It's a good thing to have it. If it doesn't, as long as the majority of people don't starve to death, there won't be any big troubles.

What's more, Li Wei still has the golden finger of the total war system. If a peasant uprising really breaks out, it may be exactly what Li Wei is looking forward to!
