C2866 Inheritance of the Strong Army (1/2)

War was not child's play. This was a top-notch science and even art!

All the powerful military powers in the world have their own origins, transitions, developments and all the way to the peak. For example, the France.

Historically speaking, France was indeed a top power in Europe, but its military might was established by Napoleon. Before this, France could not even defeat the British army.

In the Hundred Years War of the English and French, the British Light Archer was something that made the French eat their mouths!

In the end, they even needed a woman from the Joan of Arc to motivate their people's morale!

From this, it could be seen that since ancient times, France's military prowess had not been the greatest in the world. Since ancient times, his strong points were her developed agriculture, science and technology, and culture!

It was only until Napoleon appeared out of nowhere and borrowed the power of the revolution that he was able to create an iron army that was invincible throughout Europe!

Napoleon's army was an army that had been left behind from the legacies of the Middle Ages. He basically didn't use any of those ancient bloodline aristocrats, as his army was made up of free peasants who had been liberated by the Great Revolution.

Then a large number of them were promoted to the ranks of the educated middle-class children, and quickly formed into a military aristocracy!

It could be said that Napoleon and the Great Emperor had the same choice. They chose to paint a new army on a piece of paper and didn't bother to reform the old army.

They were afraid that the old army's bad habits would pollute the new army. What they were after was a completely new system and power!

French Revolution released a large number of oppressed tenants and slaves, turning them into loyal and brave soldiers!

Following that, the revolution brought about a strong suppression on the religious forces of France. The basic science could no longer be suppressed and all sorts of new technologies were unleashed. At that time, France's artillery technology would definitely be the best in Europe.

These groups of officers who received the personal training of Emperor Napoleon were the most important military forces that supported Napoleon in coming to power later on!

This was the root of the French military strength!

War was a science, but it was also an art. This was not a skill that ordinary people could grasp! Many of the top generals were raised after three generations of exposure.

For example, during World War I and World War II, when top German generals opened up their family histories, you could see that they were all military aristocrats for several generations.

While the other children were polishing their shoes, growing crops, and raising cows, the children of the military aristocracy had already started riding and hunting, piloting private planes, flipping through military manuals, and piling sand plates to play war games!

This kind of high-ranking officer, who had been nurtured from a young age, was the core of an army. Their family history was the undefeated magic treasure!

Many of the unique techniques on the battlefield were passed down through these families, many of them purely based on experience!

Only with such a group of military officers in addition to their disciplined soldiers could they create an iron army that could sweep away all obstacles!

Why did they say that the more than ten thousand French cavalry that Xiao Letian killed in the sini was the most tragic massacre in the entire Franco-Prussian War? It was because Xiao Letian had killed all of these aristocratic children who had learned from other families!

They were all future generals of France!

This battle was what the French really looked like. The French who had been forced into a corner finally woke up from their sleepwalking. They had finally displayed the same prestige as when they swept across Europe!

On the other hand, Belgium, this country, had never won by military means. Their army was completely symbolic, even if their weapons were the same, they did not have such an orderly military order, nor a group of soldiers that risked their lives!

Such troops could only go along with the flow. Moreover, they were the ones in command that were completely small-time farmers. If they couldn't take advantage of the situation, they would run away if they were at a disadvantage!

When the French cavalry was charging, if it wasn't for the knife drawing team's fast reaction time, their position would have all collapsed!
