Chapter 67 The Good News of Murat(2/2)
Li Xiu thought for a while and issued a new order.
"To Toulouse?"
"Well! It would be good to mobilize the French army. Let's bomb Toulouse again.
Anyway, the Eastern Front is very quiet now, so let’s just let the French be upset and not make them feel at ease.”
"promise!"
Chen Laohu nodded and agreed. Now there was smoke everywhere on the southern coast of France. He wanted to see what Napoleon would do.
After nightfall, the fleet on the sea quietly moved away, heading towards the port of Toulouse.
On the same morning of the next day, the fleet arrived off the coast of Toulouse.
As expected by Li Xiu, the sea off Toulouse was also mined.
However, Li Xiu didn't care. The distribution of mines could not be longer than the range of carrier-based aircraft.
A large group of Ming naval aviation fighter planes flew over the city of Toulouse.
Beforehand, the Ming army had not determined the attack target.
After all, the Ming army did not have aerial photos of Toulouse.
The naval aviation forces just randomly dropped bombs in the sky and then fired randomly.
Anyway, there is no fixed target. Throw the bombs to eliminate all the bullets and go back to eat early.
Napoleon just yesterday ordered the mobilization of reserve troops to reinforce Marseille.
I received a distress call from Toulouse at noon today!
Frustrated, he put the telegram on the table. He understood that the entire southern coast of France was the target of the Ming Dynasty's attack.
There is no naval force that can restrain the Ming Dynasty. The Mediterranean is where they wreak havoc!
Even if the Ming Navy attacks Gibraltar now, the British and Spanish may not be able to defend it.
Once the Ming Navy enters the Atlantic Ocean, Britain will be the first to withdraw from the war.
There is no way, Britain is a country that relies on trade to survive. Without trade, the British would starve to death.
I can't imagine such a scene. Napoleon was very grateful to God for creating a place like Gibraltar when he created the world.
Napoleon canceled the order to aid Marseille, and it is still unclear where the Ming Dynasty will land.
The main force of the French army is in Kiev, and there is only a small reserve force left in the mainland, which they dare not spread out casually.
I was in the office looking at the huge map of France in a daze when Murat walked in.
"When you entered my office, why didn't you knock on the door?" Napoleon frowned when he saw Murat.
"Your Majesty! Don't you want to know what I talked about with Peter in Stettin?" Murat couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
"It's written on your face, what is Peter going to do? Is he going to rebel against Catherine?" Napoleon asked disdainfully.
He looked down upon the Russian army at all. As for Peter!
This old guy's opposition to Catherine has no chance of success at all.
Her ability and means are far inferior to Ekaterina's.
"hehe!
It is Yekaterina who wants to unite with us, and the Russian army will attack the Ming Dynasty with us until the Ming Dynasty is driven out of Russian territory."
Murat could no longer hold back the smile on his face. For the first time, Napoleon saw this guy smiling like a confinement baby.
"Ekaterina wants to unite with us?" Napoleon doubted the authenticity of this sentence.
Since the beginning of the war, the Ming army, with the help of the Russian army, has achieved great victories again and again.
Not only did it annihilate a large number of Austro-Hungarian troops, it also achieved a decisive victory in the Battle of Tsaritsyn against the main force of the French army.
The southern front has been drawn back from Tsaritsyn to the Omur and Kharkov lines.
The French troops, which suffered heavy losses, had to withdraw from the front line and repair near Kiev.
There are now only a few French troops on the southern front, and more Italians and Spaniards.
With successive victories, will Yekaterina take the initiative to negotiate peace?
Napoleon didn't believe it!
He knows the ambition of this old Russian woman too well!
Just look at how much land she annexed after taking the throne and you will know how greedy this woman is.
"The Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty is depriving Yekaterina of her military power, which makes Yekaterina very uneasy.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty Marshal seemed to be disgusted with Russian nobles.
The Russian nobles were very worried that once the Ming Dynasties turned against foreigners, no one would guarantee their interests, and they might even be massacred.
According to Peter, the military power on the southern front now belongs to the Ming Dynasty.
The command of the northern front rests with Kutuzov.
But Kutuzov had to accept the orders of the commander sent by the Ming Dynasty Marshal.
In other words, Catherine is gradually losing control of the Russian army."
"Haha! With the combat power of the Russian army, it would be great if it doesn't hold back the Ming Dynasty." Napoleon said, but he was very happy in his heart.
Ming's focus in Europe is Russia. Once Ming and Russia turn against each other.
They no longer have a foothold in Europe!
The coalition forces with an absolute numerical advantage will overwhelm the elite troops of the Ming army until the Ming Dynasty's defense line shrinks back to Central Asia!
"Ekaterina is a woman who values power as much as life. Taking away her military power will indeed make her make this decision."
Napoleon nodded, acknowledging Murat's words.
"We have made an agreement with Peter to launch an attack in the spring when the roads are muddy and the Ming army has difficulty in supplying supplies.
Peter would contact the Russian commander, destroy the road behind the Ming army, and attack the lone Ming army.
Blow up supply lines such as the Ming Army's airports and stations, and occupy the Ming Army's airship landing site.
The most important thing is that they will directly attack the Ming army command post and capture the Ming Marshal himself, as well as other senior Ming generals."
"Great!" Napoleon stood up holding on to the huge desk.
Murat brought solid good news.
When the spring offensive began, these important places of the Ming army were attacked by the Russian army.
Then the Ming army will fall into a situation without command and supplies.
No matter how powerful the Ming army was, it would be impossible to win under such circumstances.
marvelous!
This was simply a fatal blow to Ming Dynasty!
Napoleon could not wait for spring to arrive.
"Does Peter have any conditions?" As expected of Napoleon, he quickly woke up from his excitement.
"Of course there are conditions, but the main condition is that the coalition forces are not allowed to try that old bitch Ekaterina and the Russian nobles for any reason.
Moreover, after the war, coalition forces were not allowed to station troops in Russia.
The remaining conditions were rejected by us.
The Russians today are not qualified to bargain with us."
"This will reassure me that the war on the Eastern Front is over. We can concentrate on dealing with the Ming army in the Mediterranean!"
"The Ming Army in the Mediterranean?"
"The Ming army attacked Marseille and Toulouse respectively yesterday and today.
The Mediterranean Fleet is finished!"
Chapter completed!
