Provence is the region where the city of Marseille is located, and the city of Marseille is the capital of the region of Provence.

The western part of the Provence region is next to the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Further west is the Miso Pyrenees occupied by the Levi regime.

Toulouse is the capital city of the Miso Pyrenees region.

Li Wei has never understood why there is no northern Pyrenees in France, but there is a southern Pyrenees...

The Paris region (not a city, but a much larger area than the province!) on the roads leading to the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southwestern France and the Provence region, every day, there are groups of gun-carrying soldiers or civilians from military transport teams, trampling on the official roads.

There is no end at a glance!

In this era when military transport is basically based on legs and livestock, logistics transportation is really a time-consuming task.

In this regard, Li Wei took a lot of advantage because he had been fighting with elite brainwashing troops.

Therefore, there are not many troops maintained on the front line. In contrast, when did the Paris Revolutionary Government on the opposite side fight against Li Wei's brainwashed army with several times its strength?

These several times of the troops have a great advantage on the battlefield, but for the logistics, it is a huge disaster!

This is why the Livi regime, which was obviously poorer and unstable, was much easier to support the logistics transportation on the front lines than the Paris Revolutionary Government.

The logistics supplies transported by both sides are not of the same order of magnitude at all!

If the gap between the front lines of the two sides is only a few times, the total logistics transportation volume may be dozens or hundreds of times!

In addition, because the Black Dragon Legion wins repeatedly, it can get a lot of gains on the battlefield, such as the most common seized materials from defeated enemy troops!

Once the battle fails, it is easy for the defeated soldiers to hold a musket or throw away the gun bar, but the countless logistics and military supplies in large and small packages can't grow four legs and run away with them.

Except for some of the ruthless people who did not forget to burn their own supplies during the escape, the vast majority of the military supplies of the defeated French army eventually became the spoils of the Black Dragon Legion.

This has kept the Black Dragon Legion's demand for logistics always low.

It is enough to let the fragile logistics line of the Li Wei regime cope with it.

This kind of behavior of losing and seizing materials by the enemy was not very problematic in the early stages of the war between the two sides. However, as the war between the two sides became larger and the frequency of battles became more and more frequent, the Li Wei regime, which could rely on the enemy's supplies, quickly gained financial advantages.

After all, the two sides are fighting a civil war!

The basic basis is that France is so big that the Paris Revolutionary Government has lost too much blood, so the Li Wei regime can naturally obtain more "blood recovery effects".

What's more, as the victorious Black Dragon Legion, when occupying territory, must go to the countryside to plunder and then blackmail the rich people in the city... Oh no, it is to restore the glory of the great French Kingdom and allow them to contribute their insignificant financial resources!

Compared with the barbaric robbery in villages and towns, the Black Dragon Legion has always been more gentlemanly in the city, only extortion... only reasoning with the wealthy people in the city, fully interpreting the hard truth that we cannot fish through the pond.

The main reason for doing this is that the farmers in the countryside are relatively ignorant and do not understand the big truths. They have no family business and have little wealth. It is easy to scare away these village farmers by reasoning with them, and they will still run away with their own food storage!

Therefore, in order to reduce the pressure on logistics supply, the Black Dragon Legion could only do it and make enough food and clothing by itself...

In contrast, ordinary citizens in cities are tragic workers, with nothing to do with property, and even the remaining grain cannot be seen!

The farmer's family is farming, and there is no prosperous market economy around it, so it is difficult to spend money.

So food must be stored!

But the citizens in the city basically use money to buy food, so it is impossible to farm by themselves.

Therefore, the migrant workers in the city have no surplus food to grab, and they are generally poor and destitute.

On the contrary, those small and medium-sized owners, industrial and commercial capitalists and even large bankers are so rich!

Of course, Li Wei couldn't catch all these people in one go. In this era, the city is a rooster that can lay golden eggs (don't discuss the issue of rooster laying eggs!), how can it be slaughtered at once?

Only by maintaining urban operation and allowing factories to shut down as little as possible can we continuously transfusion blood to the Li Wei regime.

This is why Li Wei's army is relatively civilized in cities.

Relatively speaking, the rich people in the city are more "meek". They are all people with great family and great business, so they are naturally unwilling to fight with big-headed soldiers. This is completely different from the lower-class civilians who are so poor that they only have a life left.

Of course, this kind of rich man is willing to listen to Li Wei's army using bayonets to reason, and then happily use money to buy his life!

As for the workers in the city...

Feel sorry!

Too poor!

Don't look down on it!

Interestingly, Levi's Black Dragon Legion's undamaging measures against the city made most cities willing to take the initiative to surrender to the Levi regime when there was no hope of victory. Many of the surrenders were issued by the municipal committees of local cities!

Who said that after the French Revolution, local municipal committees all ran for election based on tax quotas, and those who were promoted were rich?

No matter which country you are in, when you really encounter a strong enemy invasion, the first ones you are in love with are often those rich and powerful people.

Those who are fooled by patriotism and fight to the death are those paupers who have nothing to do!

This principle is easy to understand. After a rich man defects to his new master, he is still a rich man, with a beautiful wife and concubine enjoying a successful life.

But paupers who have nothing can easily be attracted by the bright future promoted by the government.

Anyway, they have nothing to lose, so why not fight?

If you win the bet, won’t you achieve class leap by yourself?

Of course, exceptions are found everywhere. There are rich people who spend all their money for patriotism, and paupers who are the leader for their lives but are not accepted by powerful enemies can naturally be seen.

But the special case and most are two different concepts after all!

The rise and fall of a country never relies on any exception, but on the majority!

Robert Spear knew this truth very well, so in the revolutionary army he reorganized, all the soldiers in the lower class were civilians, and many of them even became beggars!

However, it is these uneducated people who can easily successfully regard revolutionary slogans as spiritual beliefs with the efforts of military propagandists!
