18th century total war

Chapter 329 A Victory That Hurts Both

"Turn up all my guards to stop those British lackeys who have forgotten that they are Germans!"

"President, your guards are all elite veterans of the Legion of Honor. They are even willing to sacrifice their lives for you. Without their protection, your safety..."

"To shut up!
Winning this war is the greatest protection for me!

Now!immediately!immediately!

Follow my orders! "

"My lord president, as your loyal subordinate, I know that you may be very unhappy when you say this.

But I have to warn you that if your most loyal presidential guard loses a lot in this battle, the traitors lurking in Athens and all of Greece will feel that they have a chance to achieve their ambitions. "

Aristotle was silent for a moment after hearing this, he naturally knew that his subordinates were not scaremongering.

After power, there must be enemies everywhere. Aristotle didn't even know how many political enemies he killed.

A person is not an individual, even ordinary people have their own relatives and friends, not to mention politicians who have a lot of friends and connections?

What Aristotle can find out is only the opposition on the surface. God knows how many "friends" and even interest alliances they have in private!
One size fits all is straightforward, but after cutting, interests everywhere will be damaged, and the crowd staring at the throne with hatred eyes!
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Greek Defense Force as much as possible and appease the original local warlords in Greece, Aristotle included many veterans who did not belong to the Legion of Honor, and even many officers were not from the Legion of Honor.

Although this allowed Aristotle to easily settle the internal problems of the Greek Republic through peaceful means, it also left hidden dangers for his governance.

This is why a presidential guard with a scale of [-] people will be pulled out separately in the Greek Defense Forces.

This is the purest, the backbone of elite veterans who have survived after following Aristotle in the Civil War. They are the foundation for Aristotle to maintain his dictatorial power.

It is also the 'gendarme' that makes all the generals of the Greek Defense Forces obedient to Aristotle.

Aristotle was born as a commoner and sat on the 'throne' of the dictatorship of the Greek Republic, not because of his popularity, let alone because of his eloquence, but because of the army in his hands!

Whether it is in this era or in the era of Li Wei's previous life, popular popularity is at best the embellishment of politicians, and will never affect the real direction of the country.

That's fair. Why do those leaders who started a revolution and built a country allow their descendants to enjoy equal rights with the lower class people?

The ancestors desperately overthrew the old regime, didn't they just want to transform from a dragon slaying warrior into a new evil dragon?
If you overthrow the old regime, your descendants can also enjoy various privileges!

Therefore, Aristotle knew very well that his popularity in Greece only gave him some political points, and his political opponents would not show mercy to him just because he was so popular with the Greek people!
Even Aristotle's political enemies have many ways to make Aristotle die as a Greek hero!

Perhaps the greatest use of Aristotle's popularity is that his death can be remembered by the people.

The premise is that Aristotle's political opponents are smart people who want face, not unscrupulous lunatics.

As for Aristotle's eloquence, it is no problem to use it to fool soldiers and civilians. For those politicians, it is not even a hair of vested interests.

It seems like a joke that the ass decides the head, but which human regime has not come all the way?
The allusion of referring to a deer as a horse abounds in every century of human society, but the deer has become more hidden, and the horse has become more open and aboveboard!
"Win this victory and I'm still the President of the Hellenic Republic!"

After hearing this sentence, his subordinates knew that Aristotle had made up his mind, and with the expression of rushing to the execution ground on their faces, they went down to dispatch Aristotle's presidential guard!

This is by far the most elite army with the best mental and physical strength. Aristotle has always placed them by his side as his last trump card.

On the frontline battlefield, the King's German Army once again defeated a Greek defense force that came up to stop it.

The strength of the Greek Defense Forces still has an advantage, and the long pursuit and high-intensity rushes have exhausted the spirit of the King's German Army.

Even better than the superiority in the strength of the Greek Defense Forces, the British King's German Corps could not leave many reserves at all, and the entire plain was full of enemies and us fighting each other.

It's just that the casualties of the Greek Defense Forces were far more than those of the King's German Army.

The defeated Greek Defense Forces were quickly gathered and reorganized in the rear. Taking advantage of the reserve team blocking the gap between the British King's German Army, they went up again, and then were defeated and slaughtered again...

After going back and forth several times, the Greek Defense Forces were truly defeated. Many battalion-level organizations were simply beaten down to dozens of people. No matter how they were reorganized, they could not stop the mental breakdown of the soldiers.

Of course, the British King's German Corps was also uncomfortable. The high-intensity killing made the number of casualties of the British King's German Corps continue to increase, and their physical strength was greatly exhausted. They did not have a reserve team and a new force to rotate, so they could only bite the bullet and attack again, otherwise It will allow the Greek Defense Forces more time to reorganize their troops, re-enter the battlefield and shoot at them!
When [-] presidential guards with high morale, dressed in gorgeous traditional Greek military uniforms and even wearing cockscomb feather helmets on their heads, stepped onto the front line, the British generals in the rear could no longer laugh.

They found that they had greatly underestimated the strength accumulated by Aristotle!
At the same time, we have forgotten that not all the Greek Defense Forces are Greek soldiers, but many are from ethnic minorities oppressed by the Serbs.

Most of these minority soldiers have had tragic experiences that ordinary people cannot match, and their endurance and killing skills have been engraved in their bones!
"President Aristotle gave us mansions, abundant food, drink and even women.

He gave us everything we never thought possible and saved us from hell.

And there is only one way for us to report to President Aristotle—to fight for him to the last moment, even if death is in sight!
Brothers, enjoy death to your heart's content. The family members of every soldier who died in battle will be regarded by Aristotle as his own family members and enjoy a lifetime of prosperity.

For honor!

For President Aristotle!

attack! ! ! "

"Long live honor!
Long live President Aristotle! "

Amidst the roaring shouts, the last presidential guard launched a [-]-meter bayonet charge towards the densely packed British and German corps under the shocked eyes of the Greek Defense Forces rout!

They didn't step forward, and they didn't raise their guns in salvo. They just fought each other, selfless and rushed towards the British King's German Army with gunpowder smell on their faces, regardless of sacrifice.

The British generals at the back watched all this silently with their binoculars, until the Presidential Guard survived a round of three salvos and still crashed into the battle line of the King's German Legion without hesitation, someone said:

“Could these Aristotle’s Presidential Guards be Livy’s French Defense Forces in disguise?
Just like the Presidential Guard of the President of the Republic of Austria Allen? "

"Probably not.

Otherwise, what we see now is a group of lunatics rushing up with explosive packs.

I have had the pleasure of seeing battle scenes of the French Wehrmacht, and they are no longer human.

And Aristotle's presidential guard, at least looks like a human being. "

"Damn it!
Are we fighting a bunch of demons? "

“If demons can be killed, why can’t we fight them?

Or, would you like your mind to be hypnotized and manipulated by that devil, Li Wei?
In my opinion, the anti-French war is not a war to oppose and contain France, but a war for us humans to continue to dominate the world!
Once we fail, that devil Levi will sooner or later enslave the human beings all over the world.

Whoever controls Europa controls the world! "

"No, I disagree with what you say.

At least Li Wei's way of thinking is no different from ours. He may have a hypnotic ability that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but Li Wei is also like ordinary people, he likes food and wine, and enjoys the passionate service of beautiful women.

If Li Wei is really a devil, why is he so keen on our human beauties?
Our intelligence department told everyone very clearly that Li Wei's harem has broken through four digits, and it is still increasing!

I don't think any devil could be so boring. "

"Hehe, don't you think it's weird?

Li Wei played and sang every night and worked on the bellies of countless women, but so far he has not had a single heir.

Isn't this enough evidence that Li Wei is a devil?
After all, devils and humans cannot conceive offspring. "

"No, from the perspective of modern medicine, there are not very few men with infertility symptoms.

Perhaps Levi was cursed by God, or he had done too many evil things, so God deprived him of his fertility.

This is not a difficult thing to understand, and professors at Oxford University can give you detailed explanations and evidence. "

"It's you, the hypocrites who betray God and believe in some emerging science, who propose to wait for Levi to die of old age and let time obliterate the huge empire he built. This is an extremely stupid strategy!

A group of idiots who dare to doubt God think that Levi will see the British Isles outside his rule in his lifetime? "

"Please pay attention to your words, I am not a hypocrite, I believe in science, and my devotion to God is beyond doubt.

This is not a contradiction.

What age is this.

Without science, you're still living in the stench of the Middle Ages!

Without science, would you know how horrible bloodletting therapy is?
Without science, maybe you are still devoutly thinking that you can prevent all diseases without taking a bath.

It was the industrial revolution brought about by science that made great Britain the master of the world and prevented the sun from ever setting on Britain's territory!
Even the royal family admits this, if you have the ability, go to the Royal Academy of Sciences to satirize those academicians who have made countless contributions to the country! "

"You two, I think this is not the time to quarrel. You should raise the binoculars in your hands and take a look. The heroic German mercenaries have lived up to our expectations of them."

The two British generals in the quarrel were taken aback for a moment, and quickly raised their binoculars to look over.

I saw that the front of the British King's German Army on the battlefield has been completely mixed with the front of the Greek army. I have you in me and you in me!

This is actually the performance of the battle line being broken!

This scene greatly encouraged the other Greek defense forces to break out. More and more broken troops were reorganized and rushed into the battle group, like a snowball, constantly suppressing the advantages gained by the British King's German Army!

"I didn't expect that Aristotle's presidential guard could do this. Could it be that Aristotle brainwashed his guard soldiers to the point where they are not afraid of death?"

"Generals, regardless of whether Aristotle will brainwash or not, what we need to consider now is to retreat, not to continue to spend here.

The King's German Legion will not fight to the last man, even if their loyalty to the king is admirable. "

“But, are all the artillery we brought here thrown to the Greeks?

If we do that, the shortcomings of the Greek army will be filled by us immediately! "

"Remember what I said, this is a strategic retreat not a rout, we have time to destroy those heavy artillery.

Don't worry, the Greeks can only get a pile of scrap iron.

With the industrial foundation of the Greek Republic, it is impossible for them to repair the scrapped artillery within ten years.

This will be a decisive battle for both sides.

Of course, with Great Britain's strong national strength, this is a great strategic victory for us.

Aristotle's presidential guard is about to die out, the Greek Defense Forces don't know how much is left, and there are hundreds of millions of Indian untouchables in Great Britain who can be requisitioned!

As for the lost German mercenaries...

Hehe, as long as this kind of mercenary has enough money, it is not difficult to replenish.

The most indispensable thing in the German region is veterans who work hard for money.

We have to thank the tyrant Levi's government for its poor finances, otherwise the Livy government, which controls most of the German region, is enough to arm an army that makes us ashamed. "

The retreat bugle was sounded, and it was about to be unable to hold on. The British King's German Army, which had suffered more than half of the battle damage, began to retreat slowly, and the Greek Defense Force, which also suffered heavy losses, basically lost its ability to pursue.

Many Greek soldiers immediately lay down on the ground gasping for breath after seeing the enemy retreat, or just tore a piece of rag to block their bleeding wounds.

On the plain, there is no clean and tidy place to stay. Where the fighting is fierce, the corpses are high enough to reach the chest of ordinary people!
Outsiders may be very confused as to how these corpses are entangled at such a high position.
