”We can hold out for another half a month using the resources of Salon City … ”No, no, no, we can hold on for at least one and a half months through the railway system!”
”Our navy! Yes, that's right, there's hope for the Navy! ”
”Later on, we will be able to teach Prussia a lesson in the sea. If our navy can land on the hamburger, we will force Bismark to call for reinforcements!”
”This is our hope, this is our capital!”
French Emperor's expression finally relaxed. ”That's right, we still have hope. There are countless possibilities for war, and we still have the chance to make a comeback!”
”Send word to all departments to immediately prepare for the strategic transfer... Ba Zan and McMahon will stay, and you, my son, will also stay! ”
Retreating was not such a simple thing. All of the units' headquarters had to be moved out of camp, and all sorts of documents that could not be taken away had to be destroyed. The Arms and ammunition had to be moved away in advance or be given to the soldiers in full.
They had to decide who should retreat first and what should be done in the back. They also had to make four or five records on their escape routes, which meant that they would need at least half a day to complete all these tasks.
It was noon now and there was still half a day to prepare. It seemed that French Emperor had decided to take advantage of the Night Golden Cicada's escape tonight!
The four of them were the only ones left in the room, so French Emperor poured a cup of wine for everyone. ”How many troops can I control right now?”
”Just how many people are still loyal to me!?”
If the situation was not good, French Emperor would have to settle his family debts, and his foundation would forever be the army!
General Ba Zan and McMahon looked at each other, ”Your Majesty, right now, Mace City and the Salon behind us have a total of more than three hundred thousand troops. The number of elites fighting in here is about two hundred thousand, this amount is trustworthy!”
”In addition, Montopia has a hundred thousand guards in Paris, plus the navy, scattered garrison troops, and colonial garrisons.”
”I want... Those loyal to His Majesty should be around five hundred thousand! ”
”Five hundred thousand …” Hehehe, I really didn't expect that I would still have 500,000 followers … Didn't the Empire have an army of two million? ” The Emperor said with a wry smile.
”Father... They were all numbers on paper, most of them were local garrison troops … ”Unreliable!”
”The prince is right, the local garrison has been in contact with the people all year round. Their thoughts are very chaotic, and they are inextricably linked to the republicans and even the workers on the left!”
”Their loyalty cannot be guaranteed. There is also the eight hundred thousand men from the new army in Paris … If the situation has not gotten to this point, we would also be opposed to the establishment of the organisation! ”
The two old generals were right. It wasn't that the more soldiers the better, but the more loyal the better!
Napoleon III's true family background was actually trained personally by himself for five hundred thousand yuan. Furthermore, he worshipped this iron army of the Bonaparte Family.
They were from the professional soldier, and were supported by the Empire's funds. These people did not have a deep relationship with the citizens, and normally would not be able to come into contact with people with different thoughts, so their loyalty to the Emperor was reliable.
It was because of this 500000 strong army that the French Emperor was able to defeat the rest of the world!
As for the other divisions, they could not be trusted!
”Alright, I'll listen to you. We'll retreat tonight … This 500,000 yuan qi cannot be damaged! ”As long as he still has that tone, even if I'm out in the wild, my son will one day rise up again!”
