The lack of information undoubtedly increased Queen Louisa's inner fear, and even doubted whether her husband's Spanish throne would be overturned by Levi's rebels...

Fortunately, Prime Minister Godoy knew more detailed information. After the defeat, he also thoroughly found out that the captured soldiers who were defeated on the front line were all temporary soldiers and militias, and there was no regular army.

The reasons given by the Spanish noble generals below were also very sufficient. His Majesty the King and his family stayed in the Madrid palace. Naturally, everyone had to leave the most capable regular troops in Madrid to garrison them, so they could only send those "militia" out to guard the outer line of defense.

The political stance is very clear, and Prime Minister Godoy can't refute it. Who told the Spanish Army to be so bad?

The current Spanish Army can be described in one word - the soldiers have no intention of fighting!

Since the record of defeating 50,000 Spanish regular troops by 1,000, Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion has brought pressure to Spanish Army soldiers, which has completely surpassed the pressure on the French Revolutionary Government Army!

In recent years, the French revolutionary regime has passed the extreme revolutionary court system and spared no effort and plagiarized Li Wei's revolutionary propaganda methods. The combat morale of the revolutionary army in the country has long disappeared from the same past. Facing the Black Dragon Legion, the fear has been basically eliminated.

However, the Spanish Army, which was already internally corrupt and took the initiative to fight against Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion, was like an empty balloon being pierced by a sharp thorn, and the anger was so rapid.

After hearing his wife's question, Carlos IV seemed to realize that what he should be concerned about now is not whether he can win this war, but whether they need to run away!

Prime Minister Godoy naturally understood how bad the royal escape would have on the Madrid defenders, who were already under-the-match.

The Madrid defenders are still capable of fighting, and the Spanish nobles have rarely taken a relatively wise military measure, stationing temporary soldiers and militias separately from regular regular troops, and not allowing the two to contact each other.

Therefore, most of the troops in Madrid are regular troops, while a few are left-behind city defense forces and palace guards.

Madrid is also the capital after all. Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the city defense force and the palace guards here, at least the morale is still good. The morale here refers to their willingness to fight for the king!

I am really willing to fight for Carlos IV. Who told them to eat the "imperial grain" for generations?

Moreover, most of the city defense forces in Madrid are soldiers of Spanish palace nobles, and even a small soldier has a noble bloodline. However, many people are from the sidelines, and those in direct lines can generally be small officers.

These people are all die-hard supporters of the Spanish royal family.

They have a certain level of education and know who they should be loyal to, rather than yelling slogans.

These people, coupled with the regular army units representing the combat effectiveness of the current Spanish Army, can even fight the street battle with the Black Dragon Legion in Madrid, which is the most test of the army's morale in this era.

Of course, the victory or defeat is difficult to guarantee. Who said that the Madrid defenders have no advantage in military strength?

The Black Dragon Legion's record in the fight against the Spaniards was so brilliant that even Prime Minister Godoy was unsure...

"Your Majesty, Queen.

The defenders of Madrid City Defense are different from those of the outer defense line. The defenders of Madrid City are more elite, and they also include the palace guards who are willing to sacrifice their lives for His Majesty and the Queen.

In the city of Madrid, all of us are supportive people, and the Levi rebels may not be able to defeat Madrid."

"It's just not necessarily!"

Queen Louisa soon found the disconfidence in Prime Minister Godoy's tone.

Prime Minister Godoy is really not confident, but he doesn't want to continue to fool his king. The reason is very simple. He doesn't want to be buried with Madrid!

If Madrid is captured, the king and queen will be caught, and he, the prime minister of the cabinet, will not escape!

If Carlos IV fled, he would definitely need to take away the cabinet government, otherwise how could Carlos IV continue to lead the Kingdom of Spain?

Therefore, Prime Minister Godoy still hopes to run away with the king and the queen.

That's safer.

After being on the throne for a long time, this person becomes greedy for life and fear of death. After all, the scenery they see is completely different from that of ordinary people, and they have too much attachment to the world.

However, Prime Minister Godoy knew that he could not make his own request to run away, otherwise he would be a national sinner, and he was not a Spanish royal family. Once he became a sinner, Queen Louisa would not be able to protect him!

Therefore, this order can only be issued by Carlos IV. He is the king. The entire Spanish kingdom is his property, and the series of political consequences caused by the order to run away cannot take the life of Carlos IV, and it is even more impossible to let him step down.

The king only dies on the throne, but there is no such thing as the king retires...

Carlos IV lost his personal prestige at most. Prime Minister Godoy felt that this cuckold king could withstand it!

European Legalism is his solid backing!

The conservative Spanish Kingdom does not have the messy revolutionary ideas in France. Even though the revolutionary ideas of the French Revolution have begun to spread around, under the control of the monarchy, it has only penetrated into a few cities outside the border of France.

In this era, there is no Internet, and it is not difficult for the government to ban paper communication channels such as newspapers and books.

It is precisely because of this that even if Europe enters the industrial revolution, there are still a large number of illiterate civilians in society.

Prussia conducted the cheapest compulsory education for all (mainly literacy and simple mathematics), but the country almost went bankrupt...

"If Madrid cannot defend, we will move the capital as we take advantage of the time when the Livi rebels deal with prisoners of war."

Queen Louisa suggested anxiously, then looked at Carlos IV beside her.

After receiving the "eye sign" from his wife, Carlos IV nodded quickly.

It’s not that Carlos IV is afraid of his wife, but that he thinks his wife is right!

Prime Minister Godoy breathed a sigh of relief, and felt for the first time that the external defense line was defeated so thoroughly, which may not be a good thing.

More than 18,000 prisoners are enough for Li Wei’s rebels to be busy for a while!

The Spanish Kingdom successfully used the "captive tactic" to gain valuable strategic transformation time for Madrid's plan to move the capital!

It is obvious that such a great "victory" will surely be recorded in the history of the Kingdom of Spain!

The relocation of Carlos IV was not Louis XVI's hasty escape. Not only was the entire capital government team, but also a large number of royal guards and even regular troops to protect them!
