"Come on, handsome revolutionary soldiers, this is the bread we made at home, we all got the land assigned by the Jacobin Revolutionary Government, we know you are going to the front line to protect our land!

We, the elderly, young, women and children, cannot go to the front line to help you. We can only do some things within our ability. You must accept these foods, fruits and vegetables..."

Daniel and his group were passing through a village and truly felt what it means to eat and drink!

The Jacobin regime led by Robert Spear has been tirelessly seizing the land of aristocratic and churches and distributing it to farmers, and is receiving the most real feedback!

These serfs who were originally living in a daze were grateful to the actions of the Jacobin Revolutionary Government from the bottom of their hearts, and hated the Levi rebels who wanted to seize the land in their hands in the political propaganda of the Jacobin Revolutionary Government!

Even hated the entire French aristocratic group!

It has to be said that the political propaganda of the Jacobin Revolutionary Government was very successful with the help of the policy of allocating land, and France's national consciousness was rapidly awakening!

The serfs sent their husbands, fathers and brothers to the revolutionary army in the country to join the army for war, while the remaining people spontaneously provided a large amount of food to the frontline troops, alleviating a lot of trouble for the financially difficult Jacobin Revolutionary Government.

It also forced the debt trap set by financial capitalists in Paris to repeatedly delay the time of the outbreak and harvest.

Holding the food given by peasant women from different villages in his hand, Daniel's eyes were filled with tears. He now finally realized that he was not just joining the revolutionary army for the land, but a country of fraternity. He was fighting for his own country and for the identity of French citizens!

The march process of Daniel's troops is just a microcosm of the country-savior revolutionary army gathered on the front lines in the area controlled by the French Revolutionary Government.

Robert Spear personally supervised that all the national-salvation revolutionary troops supporting the front line would be allowed to pass through cities and villages where land was allocated!

The revolutionary army who passed through the city did not feel too deeply. After all, the people in the city were rarely assigned to land. The Jacobin Revolutionary Government's political work on the city was mainly to use newspaper propaganda and the shock of the revolutionary courts.

But when passing through the village, these simple peasants who had just been liberated for their whole lives and had not experienced the suffering of the Industrial Revolution, supported the Jacobin revolutionary regime from the bottom of their hearts, and made the soldiers of the revolutionary army who saved the country empathize!

Why did the European monarchs of the anti-French alliance feel hated and feared the French Revolution?

It is because the leadership team of the French Revolution is opening an unprecedented door to thought, and they are releasing a terrifying beast called the "spirit of nationalism" and the "spirit of equality and freedom"!

You should know that the foundation of the monarchy and feudal system is inequality. Nobles and kings are naturally superior existences. Only by relying on this deeply rooted idea can we firmly imprison and enslave most of the civilian class at the bottom of society.

Once this ideological shackle is broken and the population base is much higher than that of the powerful class, how will the upper class treat the usual upper class?

There is oppression and resistance. This does not require learning. It is the basic cognition in the bones of human beings.

In the era of cold weapons, a few people could defeat the peasant uprising army with poor nutrition training and insufficient number of people through good diet and combat training since childhood.

But when it comes to the era of queuing and shooting, even if you are a champion knight, you will be knocked down by a untouchable serf with a musket.

The queuing of shooting has reformed the war model, turning the elite cold weapon battlefield into a meat-mincing field that relies on the advantage of numbers to fight.

Although elite troops still have great advantages in queuing up and shooting the battlefield, the lethality of muskets and artillery makes the losses of elite soldiers in every battle far exceed that of the cold weapon era.

The number of elite troops is limited. How many battles can they withstand?

However, the civilian army is endless. As long as they have enough muskets and enough reasons to continue fighting, they can always waste the so-called elites to death!

The faster the weapons develop, the greater the advantage of the number of troops, and the higher the importance of the civilian class. Naturally, nationalism in order to win over more civilians to go to the battlefield will inevitably awaken!

Nationalism is not awakened by itself, but awakened by those who have vision and even the ruling class.

The concept of nation is originally divided by artificially.

Language and culture can become the basis for ethnic division, and even speak the same language, but civilians in different countries and regions can also be artificially classified as two hostile ethnic groups, fighting each other to meet the interests and needs of the ruling class!

France, which first broke out in the Great Revolution, naturally became the first country to start national awakening. It was not that the French people were more aware, but that the Jacobin revolutionary regime on their heads deliberately guided it in order to unite the population in the entire France and serve their war!

In the world history of Livi's previous life, the biggest lesson that Napoleon left to European monarchs after his death was that it allowed European monarchs to understand the horror of nationalism, among which the British made such a good use.

In the 21st century, the European continent is full of small countries and complex ethnic relations, and many of them are the British who helped to "define".

The name of European scoundrel is not just a saying. The British, who knew that they could not become the overlord of the European continent, in order to eliminate the unification of the European continent, from the 18th century to the 20th century, I don’t know how many European nations have been ‘created’, which has repeatedly divided European powers!

Even a unified European country faces the trouble of multi-ethnic conflicts, which completely ends the possibility of European unification.

The so-called national referendum, a seemingly democratic political move, was born on the European continent.

Of course, the British later also suffered the bitter fruits they planted. The nationalism they promoted finally tore up the British's global colonial empire, which was also a retribution.

Before the concept of nation appeared in Europe, those colonized indigenous areas did not understand what nations were. The cost of rule was pitifully low, and basically they were the ones who listened to whom they were.

As a result, after the concept of nation began to spread from Europe, the colonial rule cost of European powers, except for the real wasteful Africa, the colonial costs of other continents rose sharply, becoming huge economic burdens.

Almost all colonial costs have a common factor - the increasing military expenditure.
