King's Landing in France

Chapter 208 Return to Paris
An Ning stroked her chin and paced back and forth in the room.

To be honest, he didn't want to go back, because he was familiar with the whole process in Italy.

After all, he is familiar with the history of Napoleon's wars. Napoleon has basically fought big battles in key positions in Italy, so what is important about tranquility.

After going back, the main thing to face is the direction of the Rhine. Napoleon's war history has rarely fought in this direction.

After all, the French army took down the Low Countries very early in the war with the Anti-French Alliance. When Napoleon took power, the Netherlands was already within the French sphere of influence.

Austerlitz is of course a big battle, but this is a battle that took place deep in Austria.

If you really want to count, the only large-scale war that Napoleon fought in this area is Waterloo.

Choosing this time to return to Paris to preside over the defense of Paris is basically tantamount to breaking away from the guidance of Napoleon's war history and starting to go his own way.

The only thing I can rely on is the military knowledge I learned in the military academy.

As for the experience gained from playing games in the previous life, there is no use at all.

After all, when playing games, An Ning plays Holland, and the trick to defend is "a gentleman occupies the bridge". Because in the game "Total War Empire", the affairs officer can occupy a position on the map, and a gentleman just stands on the bridge. If the bridge can be blocked, the enemy's army will not be able to pass.

Very grassy, ​​relying on this skill, the player can turn the Netherlands, a country with no barriers on land, into a country that is difficult to attack.

This kind of experience is useless at all!

But if he doesn't go back... what if Paris is lost?
In real history, after Paris was in an emergency, the 700,000 Republican Army that Lazare Cano assembled was backed up.

So Lazar Cano occupied Xiao He's position in French history and guaranteed the undefeated republic, but now Lazar Cano has been taken away by Anning Mao and does not belong to the Republic.

Then the people in Paris were busy fighting among themselves, insisting on conscription and execution of the king to anger the opposition, seeing that France was about to split.

Maybe it really can't stop the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces.

After Paris was captured, southern France was not easy to defend, because there was no danger to defend a large plain.

When France was blitzed by San Dezi, Paris voted after being in a hurry because of this. When southern France faced the enemy from the north, there really was nothing to struggle with.

Moreover, Paris is the economic center of the whole of France. Although there are a series of commercially prosperous cities in the south, they are still a little worse than Paris politically.

Losing Paris would be really difficult.

It is impossible for Southern France to become independent from the territory of the old Aquitaine Kingdom.

Although some people in Aquitaine still joke that they are Aquitaines and not French, in fact, the national identity of the locals has long been French.

Now the Jacobins are in power in Paris, and my friends in the Jacobins will definitely expect me to go back to Paris.

If I really don't go back, the prestige I have accumulated in the whole of France in the past two years will probably be wiped out.

An Ning thought about this.

Not only was he thinking about this, but he actually had some impulsiveness in his heart—what if, what if he could actually fight well?

Why do we have to follow Napoleon's instructions?

What if I still have some skills?

Thinking of this, An Ning suddenly found that her hands were trembling slightly.

Don't rely on foresight such as Napoleon's biography, but rely solely on yourself to create a world!
This choice seems more attractive than imagined!

In order not to let everyone see that his hands were shaking, An Ning grabbed his trembling right hand with his left hand, and forced the shaking to stop.

At this time, An Ning made a decision.

Get out of your comfort zone and create your own legend!

Now that we are going back to Paris, we have to figure out who to hand over Italy to.

An Ning's first thought was to hand over Italy to Napoleon. After all, in real history, Napoleon made his fortune in Italy.

Put Napoleon in Italy, maybe he can replicate the historical results and go to Vienna to force Austria to cease the war.

But here comes the problem. In real history, before Napoleon took charge of Italy, he first obtained the rank of major general.

The military ranks of this era, the major general has reached the top, and the ranks after that are all honorary ranks. There is no difference between the troops that a major general can command and a lieutenant general.A major general can serve as a regiment commander.

Napoleon first got the major general, and then logically became the commander of the Italian Army.

Now Napoleon doesn't even have a brigadier general, just an artillery commander under An Ning.

Many people would be dissatisfied with letting him command Italian officers.

After all, An Ning himself, who is famous now, has no reputation yet for Napoleon.

From this perspective, it is not appropriate to put Napoleon as the commander of the Italian Army.

In addition, An Ning has a little selfishness.

Now that I'm ready to create my own legend, isn't it inappropriate for Napoleon to discover his destiny and decide to become emperor?
If Napoleon achieves the same great achievements in Italy as in history and goes to Vienna, he wants to be emperor later, won't it be over if he uses me as a stumbling block?
An Ning thought for a long time before deciding to bring Napoleon with her.

It would be good to let Napoleon lead an army under him in the future.

For Italy... as expected, it can only be handed over to Davout.

Davout has military merits, and his rank is brigadier general. When I go back to Paris, I will promote him a level and become a major general, so there will be no problem with his rank.

Davout's own ability is definitely not a problem. Although it is not expected that he will go to Vienna, it is still no problem to hold what he has beaten so far.

Massena...don't move, he performed very well in the direction of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and he should be able to fight smoothly. Let him continue to deal with General Corey of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and it will not be a big problem.

That's it for Italy.

I will take Napoleon, Lannes, La Salle and Berthier back to Paris myself. There will be a chief of staff and a general, and then I will bring Lazar Carnot to Paris and let him be the Minister of War. original owner".

That's right, that's it.

When An Ning was meditating, she didn't realize that she actually enjoyed the pleasure of arranging troops and planning.

He also didn't realize that while he was thinking about this, the entire command room fell silent, and everyone was waiting for his order.

Finally, An Ning raised his head and glanced at Berthier: "Berthier, I will make the following deployment and order Davout to act as the acting head of the Italian Legion and command all the affairs of the Italian Legion."

Davout immediately stood at attention, with his head held high, like a private soldier receiving orders.

An Ning continued: "With Massena as the acting deputy head of the Italian Legion, he will command the army in the direction of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

"Napoleon, Lannes, and La Salle, immediately hand over the troops in your hands to your deputy, and put them under Davout's command. Together with you, Berthier, you are going to return to Paris with me.

"By the way, Sunshine Knight and Accurate Shooter Company will return to Paris with me! We will first arrive in Marseille and join Lazar Cano.

"Above. You repeat it!"

　I'm stupid, writing down the order is too HIGH, I didn't pay attention to the time!Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
