18th century total war

Chapter 231 Lindenwan Brotherhood
The former Belgian region of the Austrian Netherlands, where the Northern Army Group of the French Revolutionary Army for National Salvation was stationed.

Wright, who was promoted to chief of staff because of the trust of Commander Fatis, hurried into Fatis' private office.

He was holding a roll-shaped document in his hand, and he shouted anxiously as soon as he entered the door: "Fatis, something is wrong, the revolutionary government of Paris is going to disarm!

That guy Robespierre had his head cut off!
The new ones are a group of capital lords of the revolutionary regime. They don't know what kind of brainstorming, they actually wiped out the National Salvation Revolutionary Army in order to save government expenses and peace in France! "

Fatis stood up abruptly, frowning and took the document from Wright's hand.

When he opened the file, his brows frowned even tighter.

"This so-called Directorate actually slaughtered the entire National Salvation Committee in such a short period of time, not even the Austrian Netherlands."

Wright guessed from the side: "The newly established government of the revolutionary regime in Paris is the peace faction in power. They have always wanted to negotiate peace with Lord Li Wei, and have no intention of fighting the anti-French alliance.

Do you want to throw all the military problems faced by France on Lord Livy?

Fatis, the industrial potential of the Austrian Netherlands is no worse than that of France. We need to help Master Li Wei firmly occupy it! "

Fatis glanced at Wright, and said helplessly:

"How to occupy?

Now the Jacobins are gone!

Now that Jacobin has become an organization that everyone shouts and beats in France, is it possible that we will continue to lead the Northern Army with Jacobin's stinky feet?
Are you officers and soldiers of the Northern Army, unable to receive letters from your hometown?
Or do you want me to issue an order to completely cut off all news channels with France?

Doing so will only make the officers and soldiers below betray us just as they opposed Charles François Dumouriez back then!

The Brotherhood of Lindenwan, which we have managed to develop in the army, will disappear in no time.

As long as the news of the Directory's decree spreads, many people in the army will definitely want to go home. There are too many casualties here, and the war-weariness mood in the army is not low. "

After hearing this, Wright, who was insensitive to politics, widened his eyes, took a deep breath after a while, and muttered to himself: "Fortunately, we didn't use the name of Jacobin to develop the brotherhood, but With Lin Dengwan in the name, even if Jacobin is down now and his reputation is rotten, it will not affect our plan..."

After finishing speaking, Wright seemed to think of something again, raised his head and asked: "Fatis, can we really only follow the order of the Directorate to evacuate the Austrian Netherlands?

The Belgians are still quite rich..."

Wright replied with great reluctance.

During these little days in the Austrian Netherlands, Wright lived quite comfortably.

The degree of industrialization in the Austrian Netherlands, that is, Belgium, is not low in Europe, and the degree of industrialization often reflects the degree of wealth in the region. After all, in this era of vigorous development of the first industrial revolution, the profits of industrial products are still quite good of.

Even if the Austrian Netherlands is destroyed by the war, it can still squeeze out a lot of oil and water, and even the Northern Army has achieved self-sufficiency in ordinary musket ammunition!

"It's impossible not to leave.

If we disobey the order of the Directorate, not only you and I will be revoked, the northern army will lose its morale, and Paris will cut off supplies from the mainland. Is it possible for us to really lead our troops to become bandits?

Even if you and I are willing, we have to ask how many officers and soldiers of the Northern Army Group below are willing to leave the Paris Directory and become a bandit soldier.

What's more, although the anti-French alliance and the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces that are confronting us have not had any military activity recently, who can guarantee that they will not launch an attack again when the political situation in France changes? "

When Wright heard this, he couldn't help but look anxious: "You can't do that!
Fatis, have you forgotten the mission that Lord Levi gave us?
Lin Dengwan's plan is a long-term plan. Once we return to Paris, Lord Li Wei will enter Paris sooner or later with the attitude of the Directorate-General's current self-disarmament armed forces. At that time, will it be possible for you and me to return to Lord Li Wei's command?

For you and me, this is equivalent to the failure of the plan!
If Mr. Li Wei's plan to unify Europe fails, you and I will be sinners! "

"You don't need to talk nonsense here!

Don't I know this?

I know Linden Wan's plan better than you!
Otherwise, would I be able to take the trouble to expand the Lindenwan Brotherhood to Berlin and Vienna?

It is definitely impossible to go back.

As long as Europe is not unified by Mr. Li Wei, I will have no face to return to Mr. Li Wei's side in my life.

There are enough wars in Europe. In order for the European people to live in a peaceful, stable and unified family, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life!

This difficulty is nothing at all…”

When Wright heard this, his face froze, and he whispered in his heart: "You can sacrifice, my life is precious, if the situation is not good, I don't want to die in a foreign country..."

Fatis naturally couldn't hear Wright's thoughts, otherwise he would have taken out his flintlock gun and killed this greedy man who was afraid of death!

Although both of them are enlightened by Li Wei, their views on death are very different due to their different personal past experiences and temperaments.

"Wright, you go call all the members of the Lindenwan Brotherhood, and I will call all the officers above the major. Before announcing the news about the Directory, I will publicly announce the political philosophy of the Lindenwan Brotherhood in the Northern Army Group. .

At that time, we will take away as many people as we can to join the Lindenwan Brotherhood. If others are unwilling to join, we will let them return to Paris. Anyway, the Northern Army Group has been abolished by the Directory.

I will explain the pros and cons to those mid-level and high-level officers, and you will take the members of the Lindenwan Brotherhood to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit as many people as possible at the grassroots level of the Northern Army Group.

This is our last chance and we must seize it firmly.

After completing this task, we will lead the northern army to plunder in the Austrian Netherlands to reserve enough funds and military expenses for the future Lindenwan Brotherhood.

Oh, by the way, before entering the French mainland border, we have to collect weapons and equipment as much as possible, arm all the members of the Lindenwan Brotherhood, and establish a secret military stronghold..."

Fatis took out a small notebook, which was filled with the hiding places of the Lindenwan Brotherhood in case of emergencies.

When the French Civil War was in full swing, Fatis devoted all his energy to developing the Lindenvan Brothers. Not a single copper coin of the wealth looted from the Austrian Netherlands was shipped back to Paris. All of it was withheld as a way to develop the Lindenvan Brothers. meeting funds.

With the cultivation of Fatis so desperately, coupled with the increasing number of people suffering from various countries in the process of European industrialization in this era, the Lindenwan Brotherhood has developed very well in large European cities with relatively developed industries .

Things have opened up in slums and urban areas.

The reason why urban development is faster than rural development is mainly because the poor population in urban areas is more concentrated, and the environment of working in factories is worse than that of serfs in rural areas!
This makes it easier for a semi-gangster organization like the Lindenwan Brotherhood to grow wantonly.

Don't wonder why an organization with revolutionary ambitions like the Lindenwan Brotherhood has developed into a violent organization similar to the underworld in major cities. Any revolution is inseparable from violence. The nature of semi-triad development members.

Otherwise, if you don’t have enough urban fighting power, you will be raped by local snakes as soon as you enter urban development...

Of course, revolutionary organizations have loftier ideals, and in order to win over the people, they have a lower limit than the real gangsters.

As for the vast rural areas, there were quite a few oppressed serfs, but they were too scattered. There was a large wilderness between one village and another, so it was difficult to develop an organization like the Lindenwan Brotherhood.

After all, the rural traffic conditions in this era are not generally bad...

Therefore, it is easier for the revolutionary party of this era to develop and grow in the city.

Moreover, the increase in production capacity brought about by the city's industrialization will also feed back the Lindenwan Brotherhood that developed in the city, making the Lindenwan Brotherhood an organization that only knows how to ask Fatis for money.

In fact, the Lindenwan Brotherhood, which had grown up in major cities in Central Europe, was already self-sufficient in terms of money.

Although they do not extort protection fees from civilians like traditional black forces, they can target the richer and middle class.

The rich and the middle class whose official background is not strong enough will try to rip it off, and the rich with a strong official background will cooperate with each other, such as helping the rich to eradicate some enemies silently. abundant.

An organization with revolutionary ideas like the Lindenwan Brotherhood is not as noble as what the later generations preach. If it is really a model of morality, how can they support themselves?

Do you rely on part-time work?

Don't talk nonsense, even in the 21st century, working part-time can't support a mafia society!

Not to mention in this society where most people are struggling to live below the food and clothing line...

Therefore, the Lindenwan Brotherhood will not do anything harshly against the civilian class, as long as it makes money in other businesses, it will dare to do anything!

Now that the Lindenwan Brotherhood is in the early stage of development, the most important thing is to establish a firm foothold in major cities, and then publicize the reputation of the Lindenwan Brotherhood, so that most local people know that there is such an organization, and understand that this organization is Organization of the common people!

It borrows a lot of ideas from the French Revolution. Liberty, equality and fraternity are the most basic things, and other things will be added to it according to the demands of the local people.

All in all, they are just using slogans to please the poor local people!

In peacetime, such slogans are naturally useless, and it is too difficult to rely on a group of mobs to overthrow an autocratic monarchy.

However, the Lindenwan Brotherhood is only a step in Lindenwan's plan, mainly to cooperate with Li Wei's future use of troops against European countries. The development direction of the Lindenwan Brotherhood basically starts from countries close to France, and then gradually goes out radiation.

Once a full-scale war breaks out between these countries and France controlled by Li Wei, the Lindenwan Brotherhood will hold high the revolutionary banner of freedom, equality and fraternity to rebel, and the countries that are against Li Wei will fall into a situation of enemies!
Doing so is naturally risky. After all, the revolutionary army has proven in the French Revolution that a revolutionary army that understands why it fights has a more terrifying war potential than a regular army that fights for military pay in an autocratic monarchy.

In the history of Li Wei's previous life, a certain Soviet red regime during World War II was the pinnacle representative of the revolutionary army.

However, this risk is not a pressure for Li Wei at all. It is nothing more than killing a few more people and then killing a group of rebels with explosive combat effectiveness. With Li Wei's comprehensive war system evaluation mechanism, if the enemy is too weak, it will be difficult. What's the benefit? This kind of revolutionary army that knows why it's fighting is definitely the best target to earn points.

This is the true meaning of Lindenwan's plan. Except for Levi, who is cheating, no other country dares to play as hotly as Levi, otherwise it will easily appear that in the history of Levi's previous life, the German regime during the First World War evil fate.

During the First World War, in order to quickly collapse the Tsarist Russian Empire, Germany put Lenin back into the Tsarist Russian Empire and established a red regime. As a result, a huge hole was left in Germany in World War II. …

Of course, as a person who has experienced it, Li Wei certainly cannot let the revolutionary regime take over. Li Wei also knows that after the Lindenwan Brotherhood develops in various places, it will definitely have internal divisions due to the different national conditions of each country.

It is impossible for Fatis to be the permanent leader of the Lindenwan Brotherhood. Even if Fatis's personal reputation in the Lindenwan Brotherhood is high, can he still command the Germans to help him kill the German compatriots?
Once the Lindenwan Brotherhood takes root in various countries, the important members must be the people of that country, otherwise it will not be able to take root completely. The xenophobia in this era is not low.

At most, Fatis will become an international leader of the Lindenwan Brotherhood, responsible for coordinating all parties. Even if the Lindenwan Brotherhoods of various countries really succeed in revolutionizing and establishing political power, they will not choose Fatis, a Frenchman, to serve They are presidents...

Therefore, the Lindenwan Brotherhood does not have any great interests for the leader Fatis. At most, it will make him famous, but what he brings is not wealth and power. ...

Of course, as a revolutionary leader with an important mission and enlightened by the administration, Fatis doesn't care about this.
