18th century total war

Chapter 76 The Urgent Levi

"My lord, what if Li Wei's rebels launch a night attack tonight?"

Resisting the swearing in his stomach, the general asked helplessly.

The other party already had a higher status than him, and was an eloquent politician. This general didn't intend to argue here. If he really got angry, his career as an official would probably come to an end...

Although the Parisian government has not yet investigated the aristocratic generals and officers in the army, the aristocratic officers who have lost their privileges are equivalent to losing their protective umbrella, and they are easily targeted by those capitalist councilors. .

This is what is commonly known as the official high-level crushing people to death!

Even the situation of civilian officers in many local armies is slightly better than that of noble officers.

Because in the eyes of capitalists, civilian military officers have no background, no money, and no matter how high the officer is promoted, they can still do whatever they want.

It will never interfere with the efficiency of capitalists making money.

If there is no threat, it will naturally not be targeted.

The general's last question made Wallace and his party fall into contemplation. Although some members of the congress did not take it seriously, many members still felt that it was necessary just in case.

"Marching at night is definitely not acceptable. Doing so will only result in a large number of deserters. It is still necessary to guard against night attacks. Li Wei is a lunatic. God knows if he will forcefully pull the tired rebels to attack at night.

Strengthen the defense tonight, double the number... no, triple the number of bright and dark whistles!
All the generals are divided into two groups, and they take turns leading people to patrol the sentry posts in the first half of the night and the second half of the night to prevent night attacks! "

Wallace thought for a while, and put forward what he thought was the most reliable suggestion.

And the general who asked the question was dumbfounded at this moment. He didn't expect that if he came up with a question, he would have to take turns to say nothing about a dignified general, and he would offend his colleagues!
He could think with his ass that all the generals who didn't sleep well tonight would remember this kindness on his head!

As for the so-called overall situation...

They are all defeated in battle, pay attention to the overall situation of the fart!
Everyone is not from the regular army, but generals temporarily promoted by the local army. At this time, the military ranks of the Kingdom of France are relatively chaotic. The so-called generals are essentially different from the generals of later generations.

After Li Wei's rebellion is put down, the generals of these provincial coalition forces will resume their original positions. Only by making military achievements that they can be proud of can they enter the regular army and become official commanders.

The period when the European military rank system was truly perfected was actually during the Napoleonic era. Napoleon dragged the entire Europe into a war-torn environment that lasted for more than ten years, further improving the military systems of European countries.

There is pressure to have the motivation to make progress!

Of course, this is the history of the world in Li Wei's previous life, so it's hard to say how this parallel world will develop.

In the Kingdom of France in this world, the ranks of officers become more and more chaotic as they go up. Basically, senior officers with aristocratic backgrounds can get the title of a general.

Many politicians even occasionally appear as generals...

Of course, there are also generals with real power, such as those who lead troops on the border.

But in the provincial coalition led by Wallace, all the generals are false.

Otherwise, the real generals with real power will not kowtow to local parliamentarians and politicians. Only the Paris government will make the generals with real power bow their heads.

After the general who dug his own hole and jumped left dejectedly left, Wallace took advantage of the fact that many congressmen did not leave, and finally reminded: "Everyone go back and try to appease the soldiers of all ministries. We don't need to spend a lot of effort to build this field barracks. , Waiting for a few days to rest, after the soldiers recovered, they set up camps and went to nearby villages and towns to set up big camps.

Since the attack failed, everyone must prepare for a long-term confrontation with Li Wei. This is the only way for everyone to keep their current identities.

As long as we work hard enough, even if the Parisian government does send regular troops over, they won't kick us out.

Of course, our troops are running out, and we can't lose any more, at least until new reinforcements arrive, we don't have the capital to experience another major defeat! "

While Wallace and his party were having a meeting, Levi, who still hadn't received the total war system campaign reward in Rennes, couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

He knew that in order to get the reward, the battle must be ended, that is, the provincial coalition led by Wallace must be completely defeated.

This time, Wallace did not arrange a back-up man to cover himself in the front. Wallace, who was restored to his post, had an official appointment document from the Paris government to coordinate the provincial coalition forces to suppress Li Wei.

In other words, Wallace is now fully responsible. If he is really defeated by the Levi rebels, Wallace will be the first one to take the blame!

Therefore, Wallace's performance this time was extra positive, and he never dared to be a "running leader"...

This method of directly appointing political leaders is still very useful. Obviously, there are smart people on the Paris government side, and the politicians here in the Brittany region will not let the politicians here take advantage of the loopholes.

Of course, Wallace was not a good guy. He had the official appointment document from the Paris government. He was afraid that he would be responsible for it alone and his life would be in danger if something went wrong, so he listed all the local military councilors under his command and handed it over. To the Paris government…

Therefore, once the war is defeated, although Wallace will be the number one scapegoat, none of those parliamentary leaders can escape accountability!

Wallace's skill is still very clever. When he didn't watch the war, none of the leaders of these congressmen dared to refute Wallace and trip him up?
Once a list is up, Wallace pulls the entire congressman leadership into his chariot.

The Paris government doesn't mind this kind of small trick. Anyway, what they want is to put down Li Wei's rebellion, and other aspects don't matter.

Wallace did this, of course there are more people who are responsible and the pressure is shared, but after the victory, there will also be more people who share the credit.

This method can be regarded as both pros and cons, but Wallace was defeated by Levi once, so naturally he must prepare for the worst.

It doesn't matter if you have less credit, but if the punishment is too heavy, the capitalist will really die!
The Paris government now dares to chop off the heads of nobles, let alone capitalists who were originally in the third rank.

Although the current capitalists in the Kingdom of France have a lot of political power, their status has not been improved much. In a short period of time, it is difficult for the people to equate the capitalists who are now in power with the nobles who were originally in power.

Li Wei in the city of Rennes, before the battlefield was cleared, gathered a group of Guards infantry who had almost recovered their physical strength, and personally led the troops to the temporary camp of the provincial coalition forces not far from the outskirts.

Li Wei was worried that the provincial coalition forces would run away overnight, which would cause him to be unable to get the reward for a long time, so he didn't want to waste any time!
