203 Have to fight
"Commissioner Robert Spear, now the prices of the revolutionary areas we control are rising, the food and use are soaring, the people's reputation for the banknotes we issue is gradually declining, and the next repayment date for those bankers is about to arrive, and there is a huge financial gap."
"Yes, most of the territory we have occupied has been destroyed by war, and there is no much output or tax revenue at all. The front line still needs to maintain a army of hundreds of thousands, and the recruit training camp in the rear has not stopped recruiting troops. The military expenditure is too great.
If we continue like this, the property we had confiscated before will soon bottom out. If we cannot repay the loans from those bankers, would we really bet on the French Republic to them?"
Robert Spear frowned, listened to the words of the people around him, and suddenly said, "The troops in the Vandai area were dragged down by the mountain troops composed of sharpshooters in the Levi rebels, and could not go south and north with all their strength.
The troops in the direction of Marseille have fewer troops and are simply impossible to break through the Black Dragon Legion.
The Southern Army of the Revolutionary Army, which we regard as the main attack, has not yet been replenished for much loss and consumption, and the morale of the army has not increased to the peak. All aspects of the state need time to recover.
Now is not a good time to launch a second full-scale attack.”
"But, Commissioner Robert Spear, if we delay for another two months, we will not be able to pay enough military salaries to hundreds of thousands of troops. If we delay for three months, we will not even be able to provide enough food to the frontline!
We really can't continue to wait. The Levi rebels are extremely stubborn. Even if we start a war immediately, it will be difficult for us to ensure that the French Civil War ends within two months.
If the French Civil War was delayed until three months and the enemy was not used to fight, the revolutionary army of the country would collapse!
And we will become the historical sinners of France!”
"Commissioner Saint Just said it is very correct. Our finances are not enough to continue the war. We will quell the Levi rebellion in the shortest time, and then cut the scale of the revolutionary army in the country to reduce the military expenditure burden. The recruits in the rear can also be stopped.
As long as the civil war is over, no matter what the French Republic becomes, we have a way to revive France.
But the war never stopped for a day, and the National Salvation Committee was stepping towards the abyss of huge financial resources!
It doesn’t matter if the front line is not prepared enough. We can use more severe commands to allow the soldiers and even officers on the front line to use their flesh and blood to break the defense line of Li Wei’s rebels!
For the victory of the revolution, the sacrifices that should be made are inevitable.”
Robert Spear's face darkened and he looked at the member of the National Salvation Committee who spoke:
"The front line has not even added shells consumed by the last war. At this time, the attack on Li Wei's rebels can use superior artillery to suppress our country-savior revolutionary army artillery.
At that time, how many young French men will die indifferently on the road to charge?"
“Commissioner Robert Spear!
You should understand that if the French Republic's finances collapse and cannot guarantee the supply on the front line, no matter how hard our propagandists work, they will never let the hungry soldiers of the revolutionary army who save the country continue to fight for the revolution!
At that time, the French young man in your mouth is likely to turn his gun to you and me for a bite!
The National Salvation Committee will never allow that kind of thing to happen, even if Commissioner Robert Spear wants to stop it!
Everyone is willing to follow you, not to follow your wrong decisions!”
Robert Spear closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was not very angry when his followers confronted him like this, because he understood what the other party was for.
Behind the cheering Paris, there was a time bomb called fiscal collapse hidden. Only the top leaders knew how much the French Revolutionary Government paid for this civil war!
The bankers in Paris must not be allowed to control France's future currency issuance rights, otherwise what is the significance of their revolution?
The sacrifices of those unpopular men and the bloody battles of the revolutionary army in the country were just to allow those financial capitalists who were sitting in the office drinking coffee and playing with female secretary to pick the fruits of victory?
Robert Spear is not very professional about the economy, but he is very clear about what a country's currency issuance rights means.
His mistake was that he underestimated the combat power of the Black Dragon Legion. Unexpectedly, the Black Dragon Legion could be blocked by the Black Dragon Legion, which had an absolute advantage in terms of firepower, military strength, morale (the French Revolutionary Government thought that the Revolutionary Army of Saving the Country had a morale advantage), and was blocked by the Black Dragon Legion with less than 20,000 people.
Pay ten times the price of the enemy!
In that battle, the French Revolutionary Government seemed to have won the battle, but in fact they failed.
The whole country's efforts did not break Levi's turtle shell. When Levi comes back, how much strength does the French revolutionary government have?
The second full-scale attack was not so much to expand the fruits of victory (this is what external propaganda says), but rather to fight for the last battle before the full outbreak of the fiscal crisis of the French revolutionary government.
If the Southern Army's national-savior revolutionary army was annihilated on the front line, the French Revolutionary Government could get rid of a huge military expenditure burden...
Of course, this method cannot be used to slow down the financial crisis. The Southern Army has concentrated the combat group with the highest revolutionary enthusiasm, the most complete weapons and equipment, and the most powerful troops in the current revolutionary revolution. The troops exceed half of the entire revolutionary army in the country-saving!
If the Southern Army is finished, the French Revolutionary Government will no longer be able to take the initiative to attack the Levi rebellious regime, and even passive defense will become difficult.
Unless the combat effectiveness of the Black Dragon Legion sharply decreased, but the French Civil War lasted for so long, Robert Spear had long given up that unrealistic idea...
The senior executives of the French Revolutionary Government generally believed that Li Wei had some kind of hypnosis and brainwashing method and could train troops like the Black Dragon Legion that were not afraid of death in batches.
Therefore, if Li Wei does not die, the Black Dragon Legion will not completely perish.
Robert Spear rubbed his forehead and suppressed the last bit of kindness in his heart towards the soldiers of the revolutionary army in his rescue. He knew that for the future of the French Republic, he could only sacrifice those young French soldiers and let them use their own blood to bury the rebellious regime of Levi!
Only in this way can the French Revolutionary Government continue and the seat under his butt will not be overturned.
When Robert Spear reached this position, he had long been awakened. The day he stepped down was his death!
