Husband and wife had been together for so many years, who didn't know who? At that time, French Emperor understood what his wife meant. To protect the control of the army, these three hundred thousand loyal troops could suppress everything.
If the situation was hopeless, the French Emperor could not rule out a separate peace with Prussia and then sell the empire in exchange for his return to suppress the revolution.
As long as they killed all those traitors, as long as they could let the empire continue to exist, the empire's interests would be harmed!
But before that, these veterans and veterans who were loyal to him could not be harmed!
McMahon had lost the Foshan Mountain Pulse defense line, this was truly a heinous crime, but McMahon's loyalty to him was trustworthy, and this old general had many disciples and juniors in the army, he could control at least fifty thousand troops.
He could not afford to offend such a high ranking general!
French Emperor sighed as he looked at McMahon who had messy hair and dirty military uniform, and said in a low voice: ”I know that this war, we were not prepared enough, those damn officials deceived me, and also deceived the army!”
”In peacetime they boasted about how strong the nation was, but in wartime they couldn't even supply enough shells!”
”The sin of not fighting, the sin of not fighting!”
This sentence made all the high-ranking officers present heave a sigh of relief. The emperor had set the tone for failure. It seemed that the officials were going to carry the blame.
McMahon teared up, ”Your Majesty is wise and farsighted, the frontlines are really too bitter. Our wounded soldiers don't even have enough bandages, and many of our soldiers have been operated on without the help of medicine!”
”I... I saw it with my own eyes. A soldier without anesthetic was sawed off his left leg … ”He actually died from the pain on the operating table!”
French Emperor waved his hand and said, ”Don't say anymore, I understand …” Before he could finish, he heard a loud bang two blocks away.
A shell from the Prussian army shot out at a very high range, directly blowing up the center of the city of the Mace City.
With a muffled boom, all the glass in the headquarters started to vibrate, and the dust on top of their heads fell down like rain.
Thanks to the cover of the table, French Emperor's pale face did not let his subordinates see his trembling legs.
”It has already been three days since the siege …” Are we all right? ”Is it safe to the west …”
Marshal Ba Zan who had been silent all this while knew that the emperor had thoughts of retreating. He said, ”The enemies have always been trying to surround us, but the brave soldiers of the empire have blocked the enemy's attack. Right now the western side of the road to the Salon is still open.”
”Your Majesty, move! ”This place is too dangerous …” Marshal Ba Zan said carefully.
”NO!” ”Absolutely not!” Napoleon III was like a lunatic as he jumped up, ”I am the emperor of the empire, I will never accept defeat in my own land!”
”If I leave this place, the soldiers will lose all hope, and the demonic figures that failed will haunt us forever …”
When Marshal Ba Zan saw that His Majesty was still being stubborn at a time like this, he quickly found a way for him to speak up, ”Your majesty, your majesty! We're just moving, not retreating. We've already used up all our bullets, so we need supplies from the back! ”
”The Mace City has been in a bloody battle for three days, and we don't have much resources left. As our base of supplies, the Salon has enough resources for our huge army of 100,000 to last us for half a month. Where else can we go if not there?”
”Please make your decision quickly, Your Majesty. The road to the west is still safe!” Everyone understood what Marshal Ba Zan meant and tried to advise His Majesty at the same time.
What the French Emperor wanted was this step. He suddenly turned his head to look at his son, Prince Eugen lowered his head and muttered to himself, ”Father …” You should retreat to the Salon … ”
At this point, the Crown Prince raised his head and raised his voice to an octave higher, ”Your Majesty, we ask that you immediately move. We still have hope!”
