In the Toulouse Municipal Government Office, Li Wei, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, was closing his eyes and scanning the extremely crude map of Europe in his mind.

"Why can only occupy this calibrated city within France? Whereas those outside France show that occupation is invalid?

Is this the comprehensive war system reminding me that I must first take over the capital of a country and all calibrated cities, and then expand to the outside world?

Well, this coincides with my strategic plan.

Steady progress is the safest!

However, I remember when I was playing the Napoleon War, there were also the capital city of Corsica, Turin in the Piedmont region, and Brussels in the Austrian Netherlands, and also belonged to the French sphere of influence.

Why did these cities become ‘foreign cities’ after they arrived in this world?

Just because France has not occupied these three cities now?

The game is the history of Napoleon's rule. Did the areas represented by these three cities be seized by France later?

Alas, if I had known that time travel was a matter of time, I shouldn't have written a love letter to my first love in history class...

It seems that the information in the Napoleon Total War game I played in my previous life can no longer be copied into this world for reference. When I take over the capital of France and all the calibration cities in France, this Total War system may still change.

Excluding those calibrated cities that are not in France, I only need to occupy four target cities next.

As the capital, Paris has always been a region where the revolutionary government is crowded with heavy troops. Since the last time he was attacked by the Pakatan and Austrian coalition, these revolutionary leaders have been desperately hoarding troops at home to train the new army...

So, Paris can't be beaten for the time being.

Reims is too close to Paris and is also full of heavy troops. Just take it down together when attacking Paris.

Strasbourg is close to the Rhine River and is too far away, not across the directly governed areas of Paris (the directly governed areas of Paris, France at this time, were very large, almost covering most of the central French region). Not to mention the distance if the detour is even farther, it may be possible to be back-stolen by the revolutionary army gathered in Paris.

This calibration of the location of the city of Strasbourg is really bad for me.

Moreover, it is said that Strasbourg is a military center in the eastern part of the French army, and it also has many permanent and complete fortifications. Some areas can even withstand heavy artillery bombardment, which is not easy to fight...

Even when the Pu'Austrian coalition attacked Paris, they were unwilling to try to snatch Strasbourg."

Levi fell into deep thought.

After winning Marseille, would it be better for Paris and Reims, who had more soldiers but leaked everywhere, or fortifications with fewer soldiers but stronger fortifications and more dangerous terrain?

"To be safe, I'd better play Paris and Reims first after winning the Marseille. Once I take Paris and Reims, I will account for 70% to 80% of France. At that time, I will be nominally orthodox, gathering most of France's power, and even Strasbourg can be used to die.

What's more, by that time, the defenders in Strasbourg may not be determined to continue to resist."

Soon, Li Wei determined his future strategic direction.

At the same time, the guard infantry under Li Wei's command completed training has exceeded 50,000 mark, and the glory value is still in the "burning".

When all the glory values ​​are burned out, not counting the loss of the guard infantry under Li Wei's command during this period, the total force will reach more than 60,100.

The sharpshooter unit Li Wei did not invest in any glory value. After all, more than 9,500 sharpshooters are enough for Li Wei.

The frontal battlefield can only be used as auxiliary sharpshooters, and the combat losses are often very low. The opponents of the mountain jungle division composed of sharpshooters are basically guerrilla armed forces with militia combat power. They are completely crushing battles and cannot die at all.

Even the guerrilla armed forces would not allow the mountain division composed of sharpshooters to catch the feet!

The arrogance of the guerrillas in southwestern France was quickly suppressed by the Li Wei regime. Thanks to the mountain division composed of sharpshooters, the guerrillas who were familiar with the terrain did not dare to show their heads and reveal their traces...

Unfortunately, in the era of queuing and shooting, generals from various military forces were unwilling to fight mountain jungle wars, because that meant that many accidents would happen.

Moreover, it is difficult for the large corps to be fully launched in the mountains and jungles. Once the battle breaks out, fierce fighting will often occur in local areas, and soldiers from other large areas will do nothing, and eventually form a tactic of adding fuel to the body.

In addition, the direct-fired field cannons and cannons that are popular in this era are not very effective in the mountain jungle, and the effective range of the curved mortar cannon is too low. Many times, the mortar cannon gunners even have to face the embarrassing situation of shooting against musketeers!

How many shells can the mortar can fire in front of the musket?

This led to the mountain jungle war in this era, and the deterrent effect of artillery was greatly reduced, and both sides basically relied on muskets and bayonets to fight.

For the side where the army is of poor quality and insufficient strength, mountain jungle warfare naturally has great benefits and can greatly make up for its own weakness. However, Li Wei's opponent, the French Revolutionary regime, does not consider itself to be the weak side!

Even though the senior national salvation committee of the French revolutionary regime recognized that Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion's combat effectiveness reached the first-class European standard, hundreds of thousands of national salvation revolutionary troops were placed there, how could the Paris Revolutionary Government not have the confidence to fight a head-on battle?

Not to mention the Paris Revolutionary Government, even Li Wei is not sure to use the Black Dragon Legion to attack the Paris region.

There are too many people on the other side!

Therefore, most of the frontal battles encountered by Li Wei's troops are now spread on relatively flat terrain. At most, there are some annoying groves around, and combat that actually penetrates into the mountains rarely occurs.

Before the battle with Arno of the Marseille Legion, the two wings detoured, and the mountain jungle war broke out in some areas. As a result, the French army surrendered so simply in the face of the sharpshooter's interception...

Since then, the Paris Revolutionary Government has known that Li Wei also had an elite force who was very good at mountain jungle warfare, and it is even more impossible to send regular troops to fight with Li Wei in the mountains.

Of course, the difficulty in logistics supply transportation in mountain jungles is also one of the reasons why European powers are unwilling to fight a frontal battle in the mountains and forests in this era.

Li Wei was preparing for the war, and the revolutionary government in Paris was not idle. The first teams to complete the training of veterans and new recruits were already driving continuously to the Provence region and the Languedoc-Roussillon region next door close to Li Wei's territory.
