Chapter 51 Advantages of the Allied Forces(2/2)
What do they have in their hands? Money waiting to be snatched from us?
As long as we have political power and an army, we have reasons to choose...to fulfill the treaty, or...not to fulfill it!"
Murat shook the wine glass, walked to Napoleon's bed, and handed the wine glass to Napoleon.
"Debt!
This will have a very bad impact on the reputation of France. From now on, no one will dare to lend us money.
If you encounter...!"
"If you don't want to lend it to us, then we'll rob it.
We have a political power and an army!"
Napoleon stared blankly at his brother-in-law, Murat was a soldier.
Soldiers' thinking is always simple and they are superstitious about violence.
Although violence cannot solve all problems, it can definitely successfully rob the Hebrews.
This is what King Edward of England did back then!
"Haha, the regime! The army!
Then we have to win the war, but you are right. The money given by the Holy See is not enough to cover the war expenses.
In order to get through the current difficulties, we still have to ask for help from the Americans.
I really didn’t expect that in just ten years, the United States would develop like this.”
"The financial resources of the Skull and Bones Society, plus a large group of Hebrew scientists, and a group of Europeans who are willing to do things and have the ability.
New York has developed into a large city with a population of more than 400,000. It is said that Boston is full of factories both inside and outside the city.
Everyone who went to America from Europe was assigned a piece of land in the West.
Over the years, they have occupied a lot of Indian land, but no one is cultivating it.
Their national strength is indeed developing very quickly!
If the war continues... I think more Europeans will go to the United States."
“This situation cannot be allowed to continue!
Otherwise, there will be no one here in the end.
Tell the truth, Murat!
If the Ming people were not too ambitious and forced us too hard, I would actually like to end the war."
Napoleon took a mouthful and took a sip.
"How is it possible to end the war?
We are all fighting like that!" Murat was startled by Napoleon's words, he did not expect that Napoleon would have such an idea.
When the two countries were at war, Napoleon, as the Emperor of France, had this very scary thought.
"Do you know why we haven't failed yet?" Napoleon took another sip of wine, raised his head and looked at Murat and asked.
"We will win!" Murat felt that something was wrong with Napoleon.
"I used to be as confident about the war as you are, but after three months on the front line, I feel that it will be difficult for us to win the war.
The Ming army deployed a total of more than 900,000 troops on the Russian front.
These people also include quasi-military personnel responsible for logistical supplies!
The actual number of troops fighting on the front lines is probably less than 500,000.
Look at us again!
France alone has invested 1.3 million troops.
Prussia in the north invested more than 800,000 men.
Plus Italians, Spanish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, Swedish, Austro-Hungarian and Israeli troops.
The total number of coalition forces exceeds three million!
But with these three million people, there is nothing they can do against the 900,000 Ming army.
In Kursk, the Austro-Hungarian army was almost completely destroyed.
Tsaritsyn, we lost more than 300,000 people, but we did not win."
"Your Majesty the Emperor!
You may have missed more than one million Russian troops!
Although the Russian army commanders are not good-looking and have poor combat capabilities, they are human beings after all!
You can’t help but treat the Russians as human beings!”
"You and I both know how much fighting power the Russians have.
Even if one million Russians were added, their army would still be one million more than theirs.
But we still failed!
Just imagine it!
What will happen if the Ming army increases its troops and the number of troops is as large as ours, or even exceeds ours?"
"...!" Murat really hadn't thought about such a problem.
"There are not many Ming troops in the Mediterranean direction."
"Why did they only occupy Tavignano in Corsica and not attack the interior of the island?
That's because they lacked the manpower and could only drive a wedge into Corsica.
Their ultimate goal is to starve everyone on Corsica to death.
Murat, don't forget.
The Ming Dynasty is a huge country with a population of more than 400 million. It also has slave states with a population of more than 300 million!
Now from the Mediterranean to the Russian front line, the total strength of the Ming army will never exceed two million.
When we mobilized almost all our national power, Ming Dynasty only used limited power.
Why is this happening?"
"Why?" To be honest, Murat had never thought about this question.
"Because they don't want to consume too much national power because of war.
I heard that many bridges are still being built in their country.
Roads and railways have begun to be constructed towards the southwest, where the terrain is complex.
There is no shortage of workers in their factories.
There is also no shortage of farmers working on the farm.
The war did not destroy the Ming Dynasty's national power at all.
You see, their war supplies are constantly being transported from China.
They even have the spare capacity to lay a double line next to the Central Asia Railway.
Looking back at us?
There are already many women working in the factories, and more than half of the young peasant labor force in the farms has been redeployed.
Whether it is food or products in factories, it is difficult to supplement frontline consumption.
The war only lasted for half a year and has already severely weakened our national strength.
It is hard to imagine that the war will continue for another two, three, or even four years.
Can we still withstand it?"
"Then we will launch a general attack on the Ming army in the spring.
From Smolensk, all the way to Kiev. The Finns will also help behind the scenes!
We advanced across the vast front and defeated the Ming people in one fell swoop.
Chapter completed!
