The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 204 The Era of the Governorate

In this way, the National Self-Defense Forces of the French Republic (that is, the regular Army of the Republic) suffer a lot of losses in every battle, but they can always quickly absorb the local poor to supplement their troops.

The reason for the large losses in the battle was not because the weapons of the National Guard were outdated. The First French Republic was born on the corpse of the Kingdom of France and received a large number of ordnance materials left by Louis XVI.

France is a big country, even if it was defeated for a while, it did not degenerate.

Open the arsenal and restart the operation of a large number of arsenals, coupled with the low rate of ammunition consumption in the era of queuing and shooting, the National Self-Defense Forces on the front line do not have to worry about insufficient ammunition at all.

Relying on high combat morale and the slogan of charging regardless of losses, the National Guard won more victories than lost, and also seized a lot of military supplies from the battlefield.

Therefore, the National Self-Defense Forces fought more and more, and before the British reinforcements were sent, they swept over half of the French-occupied area.

A series of free cities and various principalities established by the British also fell one by one, and many of them were destroyed by the internal recovery revolution of the French nation...

As a result, when the British army landed, only the Duchy of Brittany and Normandy were left barely holding on.

These two principalities were the first to be contributed and supported by the British, and many local people did not recognize themselves as French, but considered themselves as Bretons and Normans...

Therefore, under the deadly propaganda of the Great Revolution, these two principalities did not break out large-scale internal uprisings and preserved their country.

Sure enough, now that the two principalities have finally waited for a large number of British troops to land, they can start to counterattack!

"Mr Speaker, the international community still condemns us, even if we try our best to lobby the British for their ambitions and threats, no one in the international community is willing to help us.

They did not form an intervention army at this time to jointly invade the First French Republic, which is already the greatest achievement we can achieve. "

"Humph!

Those corrupt and degenerate feudal monarchs and nobles are not trustworthy at all, and they are full of their own interests. No wonder the whole of Europa will be defeated by the British when they unite!

The rise of the French nation still needs to rely on our own ability, let's issue a mobilization order for the whole people.

For the Republic, every French man has the responsibility to defend it with his life! "

"Sir, the mobilization order may be resisted by the parliament."

"The French nation has reached the most dangerous moment. Those who oppose at this time are definitely traitors bought by the British. The French nation does not need any tolerance for traitors!"

After hearing Robespierre's words, the confidant of the report was shocked. He knew that a new round of political purges was about to begin...

Because the mobilization order has greatly damaged the interests of the people, it is impossible for Robespierre's political opponents to miss this opportunity to attack.

In the middle of the third year of the Sauron Era, the First French Republic promulgated a terrifying wartime control and national mobilization order.

The number of French National Guards on the front line suddenly soared to more than 50!
The originally dominant British offensive was defeated by a sea of ​​soldiers from the National Self-Defense Forces!

However, before the news of the victory of the French National Self-Defense Forces came back, an armed revolution broke out in Paris again due to the high-intensity oppressive policy. Bespiel was beaten to death...

Subsequently, Robespierre's henchmen were liquidated and arrested by the parliamentary opposition that coerced public opinion. In just three days, the powerful Robespierre government was declared annihilated, and thousands of Robespierre's henchmen were sent to prison. guillotine...

Immediately afterwards, the government of the First French Republic, which regained its sanity, immediately canceled the mobilization order that was full of public dissatisfaction. A large number of recruit camps in various places were disbanded on the spot, and the people were allowed to go home on their own.

The high-pressure policy of wartime control was also abolished.

In addition, in order to prevent the reappearance of the Robespierre-like powerful speaker, the Parliament of the First French Republic abolished the position of the speaker, and changed the permanent department to a government with multiple people in power in rotation.

Since then, the First French Republic has entered the era of the Directorate.

However, many people in the Directory government are in power, and they are still at the same level. There is no leader who can make a decisive decision. Many decrees will fall into quarrels and become impossible to implement. The administrative efficiency of the Directory government has dropped several times compared to the Robespierre era!
However, the people did not have much complaints about this, and the politicians were also very satisfied.

Although the administrative efficiency has declined, the personal safety of the politicians has been guaranteed. No one can just find some evidence to label a noble congressman as a traitor, and then send him to the guillotine...

The low administrative efficiency of the Directory government and the abolition of the wartime control of the mobilization order made the French National Guard on the front line no longer able to maintain more than 50 people, and had to carry out disarmament and resettlement in a state of war!

This made the French army on the front line inevitably give up the opportunity to attack and expand the results of the battle. They did not take the momentum of a big victory to recover the whole of France, but only wiped out the Principality of Normandy.

At the same time, the large-scale disarmament caused the French National Guard to become demoralized, giving the Principality of Brittany and the remaining British troops a rare respite.

In this way, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

It's just that this kind of stalemate is very unfair to the First French Republic. The French army is getting more and more miserable because of the low administrative efficiency of the Directorate, and can only rely on layoffs to reduce expenses.

As a result, the strength of the National Self-Defense Forces is shrinking day by day.

On the other hand, the British army in the Principality of Brittany continued to receive colonial supplementary regiments from the London government during the rest. Many British army regiments that had suffered heavy losses in the previous war were rapidly recovering.

However, after the spies of the London government detected the decline of the First French Republic, they no longer continued to attack quickly, but slowly waited for the First French Republic to perish.

The low administrative efficiency of the Governor's Government quickly spread to the already sluggish economic field, making corruption rampant throughout the Governor's Government, and the tax revenue was not low at all, but the central government did not receive much...

In addition, a large number of young and strong veterans returning to their hometowns once again increased the food pressure on the people.

There used to be an army with more than 50 young and strong mouths, but now the French army does not even have 10 people, and the people who are already hungry are falling into the embarrassment of hunger!
So, not surprisingly, after the Directorate-General of the First French Republic took power for more than half a year, the First French Republic ushered in a food shortage disaster!

All of a sudden, Paris, the capital of the revolution, became turbulent again.
