The French army was vigilant.

However, although Napoleon gave the coalition a big lesson outside the city of Nicolas, this lesson cannot change the entire situation of the war.

A unit of the coalition led by the Dutch hereditary ruler William V broke out on April 6 with the 30,000 French troops who came to support Nicolas, relying on their superiority in military strength. William V defeated 30,000 French.

Although the coalition forces themselves suffered considerable losses, they achieved victory after all!

The more than 30,000 troops led by Ernst also defeated the 20,000 troops deployed by Napoleon on the middle line. Then Ernst did not go to attack Brussels, but led the troops north to Nicolas after receiving William's order.

In William's vision, the most important purpose of the nearly 40,000 troops he led is to hold Napoleon's troops in the city of Nicolas so that they cannot escape. Then, after the two armies return to the rescue, they will concentrate again

The troops launched a general attack on Nicolas.

Since Antwerp was recaptured by the coalition forces, the British once again transported a large amount of supplies and ten thousand supplementary soldiers to Antwerp. It was not easy for Britain to recruit so many soldiers in such a short time.

.

The British government also officially informed William in the situation of the official letter that these 10,000 people were the last recruitment of troops by Britain. If the situation on the front line is unclear, then the British government can do nothing unless the British government stops aid to Prussia.

If there are more soldiers, we can call in.

But for Prussia, once Britain stops aid to Prussia, the situation in Prussia will definitely worsen further. You should know that most of the pensions for disabled soldiers and dead soldiers are from the aid of the British, and even quite a bit

Some of the supplies also depend on the provision of the British.

If the British really stopped aid, then there would definitely be a big change in Prussia, so William agreed to the British government's request to no longer provide supplementary soldiers.

The three Prussian divisions led by Ferdinand have moved to less than a hundred miles east of the Netherlands, which means that in another half a month, the three Prussian divisions of Ferdinand have been able to join the battle.

Through communication with the Dutch hereditary rule, the coalition forces are expected to be supplemented by another 10,000 Dutch soldiers.

So at least in a short period of time, the advantages of the coalition forces will not only not be narrowed, but will also be further expanded.

However, both Britain and the Netherlands, both inside and outside Prussia, hope to end the battle before Christmas this year, otherwise the three countries would no longer be able to afford long-range combat of such a large army.

The coalition's rationing now mainly depends on the British and Dutch people, among which the British have made a big splash, but even the rich British declare that their support to the coalition will only last until next summer.

This means that the coalition forces' war against France must be won within one year, otherwise, the coalition forces will be disbanded immediately.

When Versailles learned of the current advantage the coalition forces had gained over Napoleon's troops, Louis XVI immediately became panicked. The French government immediately submitted a note to the Spanish government. The French hoped that the Spanish would once again for the sake of the two countries' alliance.

Provide support from 50,000 troops.

You should know that the 30,000 troops that had previously aided Napoleon were pulled out by Louis XVI from France, but now the French royal family has never pulled out the strength of a 30,000 army, unless the Bourbon dynasty gave up

His own rule over France, but this was simply impossible for Louis XVI.

Spain immediately held a state meeting after receiving the diplomatic notes from the French government.

Does Spain have soldiers? Of course, there is, Spain has a mobile force of up to 90,000 people. Even though Spain has sent 30,000 troops to aid France, Spain still has an army of 60,000.

But for Spain, it is no problem to send a large army again, but the key is what Spain can get in this war.

Since the beginning of this war, Spain has had problems with its colonies due to the blockade of the Atlantic Ocean by the British Royal Navy. According to the latest information to Spain, Spanish colonies located in various places are suffering from the British attacks.

It was supported by hardship, and some of the colonies had even been seized by the British.
