201 Learning and Plagiarism

"In this way, Jacobin's revolutionary dictatorship could be recruited accurately, those serf soldiers who were truly grateful to them.

These serfs are ignorant in their minds and regard the land as more important than their own lives. After obtaining the land, they will easily be brainwashed by policy propagandists sent by Jacobin.

In addition, the revolutionary army of the country-salvation under Robert Spear also specially selected poor men who could not eat enough to join the army in a big city with a strong revolutionary atmosphere.

These people have a very difficult life on weekdays and can eat and drink after entering the army. In addition, Jacobin's propaganda continues to carry out revolutionary brainwashing propaganda, which also has a strong sense of dependence on the revolutionary army to save the country.

Although they were not as desperate as the serf soldiers assigned to the land, they also had the morale of fighting tough battles.

The children of serfs and the poor in revolutionary cities are the biggest source of the revolutionary army to save the country. In addition, when Robert Spear dispatched the revolutionary army to save the country to support the front line, he would specially plan the provinces and regions where they passed through the land and land.

Then Jacobin's propagandists were sent to organize the people to give food condolences to the passing large forces, and took the opportunity to strengthen the re-education of revolutionary ideas, which once again enhanced the combat morale of the revolutionary army in the country-salvation.

Of course, on the battlefield, the Revolutionary Army of Saving the Country fully carried forward the role of officers as the example of officers taking the lead in charge, and eliminated the military atmosphere of officers' retrenchment, which also played a great role.

Most of the grassroots officers of the Revolutionary Army of Saving the Country were illiterate veterans, and the replenishment speed was very fast. Even if they were consumed heavily during the battle, they could hold on.

This is why the combat effectiveness of the revolutionary army in the country has been rapidly improved.

However, this morale increase is short-lived. According to our speculation, the Jacobin dictatorship is facing a serious national debt crisis. The longer the confrontation, the more their fiscal accumulated debts will be.

In the worst case, the Jacobin dictatorship is likely to have to mortgage the right to issue currency to financial bank capitalists in Paris!

Therefore, the French revolutionary government cannot support hundreds of thousands of troops to fight a protracted war.

The food support obtained by dividing the land is not lasting. Although the serf families who obtained the land divided the property of the nobles and the church, they did not have much surplus food and could not support the food consumption on the front line for a long time.

Compared with our army's logistics supply, the logistics supply of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army is like an attic in the air. The longer the time is, the faster the chassis below will be broken.

Therefore, even if the Revolutionary Army of Saving the Country is not prepared enough, it may launch a large-scale comprehensive attack again around 1795. This is also the last attack of the Revolutionary Army of Saving the Country.

Once they cannot make progress, whether it is financial problems or failures on the battlefield, it will bring the French revolutionary government led by Robert Spear to a crisis of collapse."

After hearing this, Li Wei nodded slightly and asked again: "How is the situation in Spain?"

“Report to the Lord.

Under the call of Carlos IV, the nobles from all provinces in the Kingdom of Spain sent a total of fourteen armies, totaling more than 160,000 people.

Surrounded the Madrid province from all directions.

However, half of the troops of more than 160,000 people were trained by third-rate mercenaries and militia units trained by recruiting serfs, and their combat effectiveness was worrying.

Of course, that's for us.

For the Kingdom of Catalonia, these 160,000 troops made them feel unparalleled pressure.

The Catalonian Cabinet led by King Aragon has no intention of defending Madrid at all, and has made a strategic plan to retreat while implementing the scorched earth policy.

We plan to retreat all the way to the Catalonian region and establish a defense line, and rely on the support of the Catalan people to fight a national defensive battle.

By then, King Aragon and his cabinet would be sure to arm Catalan militias with a number of 160,000 enemy troops in the Catalonian region to help the Catalan Legion resist the attack of the Spanish army.

The King of Aragon did not ask for support from us, and the Kingdom of Catalonia should not be at the point of facing the crisis of national demise."

“Scorched Earth Policy?”

Li Wei raised his eyebrows and said in confusion: "I remember that from the Madrid province to the front-line towns in the Catalonian region, have they been looted by the Catalan Legion?

Why do we still need to implement the scorched earth policy?

The Catalans are not trying to burn all the houses of local residents...

Then there is no benefit to do it other than pushing the local people to the Spanish government.

Aragon shouldn't be so short-sighted."

“Sir, wise.

If even the house was burned, the local people would probably have to devote themselves to the Spanish army and fight with the Catalans to the end.

Although the areas that were subject to scorched earth policy had been looted and there was not much food or wealth to plunder, the King of Aragon planned to plunder the young and strong men in these areas.

Leave a place where the Spanish army who was called is old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant!

This will not only leave a huge burden on the Spanish government, but will also cause a devastating blow to the local economy.

After all, male young and strong are the most important productivity and source of soldiers in this era.

And these young and strong men who were robbed will be demoted to slave labor after they arrive in the Catalonia region.

The King of Aragon wanted to follow our labor service system and use these Spanish men to farm to make up for the imbalance of rural labor caused by the large number of Catalan men joining the army.

In this way, King Aragon can let go of his hands and feet to recruit a large number of Catalan males to join the army and maintain logistics to fight a long war."

"Haha, now our system has been learned by many people.

Aragon learned our labor service system, and the French Revolutionary Government copied our military system and supervisor system, but the only ones that did not change were the arrogant anti-French alliance countries."

Li Wei smiled and said to himself.

However, Manid, who was in the lower position, whispered: "Sir, many countries in the anti-French alliance are actually imitating our military system on a small scale, setting up fixed battalion-level, regiment-level, and division-level combat troops on top of the company.

But they are only promoted in a few experimental troops, at most one division in size, and have not been promoted in large quantities."

"Oh, according to you, the whole of Europe is learning from us.

This is a great honor!”

"Sir, on the European continent, there are many countries who scoff at our military system. The Tsarist Russian Empire in Eastern Europe in the distance, and the Italian countries led by the Kingdom of Sardinia are many countries.

The Kingdom of Sardinia, in particular, has been devalued by political propaganda."
