Of course, without considering humanitarian ideas, there is also a quick solution to the security war, which is the action taken by the Qing Dynasty when it entered the pass - massacre!

If no one resists, the guerrillas will naturally have no room for survival.

It is easy for foreign forces to support weapons and ammunition, but food is a bulk material, and the demand is very high. It is impossible to rely on smuggling to meet the needs of guerrillas. Without the support of local people, guerrillas that cannot produce guerrillas that roam all day long will starve to death sooner or later.

However, although massacre can solve the problem of public security war, it will also bring about new problems.

If you kill almost all the population, what's the use of occupying such a large piece of land?

As the Chief of the State Administration of Taxation said, after the massacre, the grain production in the Spanish occupied areas could not even satisfy the food rations of the occupied troops!

After buying such a large piece of land, I had to transport food from France thousands of miles away!

If everyone in France can have enough food, this is not a problem. The problem is that most people in France are now below the food and clothing line.

It is impossible to starve a large area of ​​common people in France to occupy the Kingdom of Spain. Although Li Wei doesn’t care about the lives of the French people, the more people who starve to death, the revolutionary party will have a fertile living soil.

By then, Li Wei will play rebels in France every day!

Even if the rebels can win consecutive battles, the long-term internal suppression of war will further decline France's national strength. Then, the grain output will decline again, causing more French people who cannot survive to embark on the road of revolution and rebellion, forcing Li Wei to dispatch the army to suppress again...

If such a vicious cycle continues, France's 25 million people will probably end up killing 10 million people...!

At that time, no matter how much glory Li Wei gets, he will turn all the French into guard infantry, what will the soldiers eat if no one farms?

Go abroad to rob?

Well, there must be enough weapons and ammunition.

Not many people are left in farming, how much human resources can factory production and raw material mining have?

It doesn’t mean that the factory has enough workers to continuously produce weapons and ammunition. The most labor-intensive thing about the production of weapons is the mining and transportation of raw materials!

Without enough food, too many workers cannot be raised to mine raw materials and transported to factories. At that time, many factories will probably cut production or even stop production!

Without weapons and ammunition, you can't let the guards' infantry rob the fists with their fists.

Weapons and ammunition are not food, and are not necessities for the people. As long as the hostile countries destroy weapons and ammunition, the attacked Li Wei army will reduce the number of ammunition, and they will be able to fight with cold weapons in the end...

As a result, this is another vicious cycle!

Therefore, to ensure the potential of war, it is far from enough to have a powerful system to brainwash soldiers. A stable large rear base is a crucial factor!

A stable large rear base also requires a large amount of population support, and population is the primary productivity of this era!

This is why Levi rarely cared for the French.

Even after Li Wei came to power, the cabinet began to formulate a land reform policy to ensure that most French people had land to cultivate.

Li Wei will not allow capitalists and nobles to exploit the people. Even if they want to exploit them, the Li Wei government must exploit them!

Li Wei refused to make the difference in the middlemen!

Most French civilians have land to cultivate, so Li Wei can naturally collect more food taxes.

And in this land reform, there is a very important thing: All land in France is no longer private, but national, and the people only have the right to lease and use it, but have no ownership.

Levi granted the right to use to the French, and the ownership was nationalized. With this method, the Levi government could become a direct exploiter of the land without having to let the landlords and nobles earn the price difference between the middlemen!

Li Wei's administrative quota is enough to support a huge bureaucratic class to carry out this kind of land reform policy for the central government's direct land.

As a result, the land income of the Levi government increased, but the French civilians did not lose much, and they even made money.

After all, the ownership of land to the state and the ownership of land to the landlord are completely different for French civilians.

French peasants farm on the land of landlords and nobles, and they are serfs!

But French farmers farm on the country's land, and he is a French citizen!

The exploitation of the national government is hidden and can be hidden in various taxes, but the exploitation of the landlords and nobles is obvious and often more severe.

The landlords and nobles had limited land, so they naturally had to find ways to exploit the serfs from this small piece of land.

But the land of the French government is the entire France, and the cost of exploitation is distributed to the entire country, so a single French peasant family will naturally not feel much burden.

The extra taxes from the French government are to put it bluntly, the difference earned by the original middlemen!

Otherwise, how could France not be able to support 25 million people in such a large area?

Of course, land reform takes time, and the crisis facing France has not yet been resolved.

The anti-French alliance has not yet been dissolved!

The Chief of Taxation Let Li Wei know a cruel reality. The French Defense Force, which seems to be a strong military force, has actually shown that the outside is strong and the middle is in trouble.

If the French Defense Forces had not required military pay and death pensions, the Li Wei government would have gone bankrupt countless times!

France, which has frequently experienced civil wars and foreign invasions, now needs most is rest and rest, rather than being sturdy...

"The current financial situation cannot allow us to occupy the Kingdom of Spain for a long time, but it should be no problem to capture Madrid by invading the Kingdom of Spain."

“The Chief Consul is right.

Without considering the issue of long-term occupation, the army invaded foreign countries and could use war to support the war and loot in the local area. If the robbery country is rich enough, it can not only make up for the consumption of war, but also feed back to ourselves, allowing the French government to survive the current difficult time and successfully complete the land reform policy.

Now all the wealth within France has been consumed in the civil war. Both the wealthy nobles and the property left by the church have been used up, and only a large tract of land is still valuable.

However, many of these lands have been abandoned due to the war problem. The government needs time to organize manpower to resume production and implement land reform policies to attract French farmers to work."

At this time, the Minister of Logistics Yatman stood up and said, "Sir, we are no longer able to expand our territory now. At most, we will fight and loot. The continuous war has exhausted our reserve arms.

Nowadays, many units of the French Defense Forces use muskets seized from the Prussian army."

As soon as Yatman finished speaking, Manid of the General Administration of Military Intelligence (he has now stepped down as the Foreign Minister and devoted himself to doing intelligence work for Li Wei) suddenly stood up and said:

"Sir, if our strategic goal is to go out and rob and supplement the national finances, I would also suggest attacking the wealthy northern Italy and the Kingdom of Sardinia, or attacking the Rhine and the Netherlands.

The northern part of the Kingdom of Spain has been robbed by us, and the Catalonia region has become even white. Unless we go deep into the western and southern part of the Kingdom of Spain, it will be difficult to rob much valuable things.

Most of the western and southern parts of the Kingdom of Spain are underdeveloped areas, and even if they are hunted down, they are just plundering bulk goods such as grain.

And if we go deep into the Spanish Kingdom, our logistics line will inevitably be attacked by a large number of Spanish guerrillas. Now the Spanish hate us French very much."

After Manid finished speaking, he immediately attracted the congratulations from the surrounding cabinet ministers.

Since we do not intend to occupy it for a long time, we naturally tend to find a wealthy area to fight and rob. If we can supplement the national finances through war, France's broken ship can continue to be in a state of war!

And it will not delay the land reform plan in France, and even have enough wealth. Li Wei will suppress the revolutionary party within the French Republic and put a crown on himself.

Now the French Defense Forces have sufficient military strength and combat power. Which country can withstand the attacks of the First Army?

The only thing that made the Li Wei government afraid of was the resistance of the locals.

After all, this kind of war to invade foreign countries is different from the French civil war. Foreign people will instinctively resist the conquest of the French and will place all the disasters brought by the war on the French invaders.

If the Italians cannot fight, they will rise up and resist if they are thieves at home!

"Since the Kingdom of Spain is not very good, let's let them go for the time being.

Tell the messengers of the Kingdom of Spain that, based on the conditions they put forward, I need to make the Kingdom of Catalonia independent.

Carlos IV must recognize the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Catalonia.

Of course, we can form a military alliance after the Kingdom of Spain withdraws from the anti-French alliance and let the Kingdom of Spain relax its vigilance against us.

The Spanish Kingdom’s army is not very powerful, but the navy is still OK. If the Spanish Kingdom really forms a military alliance with us, the London government may have a headache."

After Li Wei's words, he immediately decided on the strategic direction of the French Republic.

As for the fate of the Kingdom of France, no one mentioned it. Such a regime that attempts to split the country must be completely destroyed.

Not long after, the Spanish envoy brought the conditions of the Levi government back to the Madrid government.

In the Madrid palace, Carlos IV and his wife Queen Louisa ranked first, while Prime Minister Godoy's cabinet stood in the lower position.

"What do you think of the conditions raised by Li Wei?"

As soon as Carlos IV put up the topic, Queen Louisa, beside him, asked the Army Minister impatiently: "Can our army really not match the French Defence Force?"

The Army Minister glanced at Prime Minister Godoy, then bowed and replied: "His Majesty Queen, the French Defense Forces have 100,000 troops alone. They have too many troops, so we have no chance of winning."

"What if the 80,000 Spanish Army attacked a division of the French Defence Force?

I remember that in the organization of the French National Wehrmacht, there were only about 10,000 full trainmen.”

Queen Louisa immediately raised a very sharp topic, she wanted to know what the gap between the Spanish army and the French army was.

Why were there 80,000 troops on the front line who were scared to flee back to their country without fighting against the main force of the French army?

Fortunately, after experiencing the escape from Madrid, Queen Louisa has already put away her previous arrogance, otherwise the "incompetent" Army Minister would have been removed from office at this time!

The 80,000 main force who had experienced the test of suppressing the bloody fire of the Kingdom of Catalonia actually ran away without even seeing the enemy. What is the Army's Supreme Leader, the Army Minister, who is not a frying bucket?

Generally speaking, the Spanish royal family, as a military layman, will not directly command the army's operations, and neither Carlos IV nor Queen Louisa will fight.

Therefore, the one who really commanded the Spanish Army was the Madrid Cabinet Government, which is the Army Secretary.

Queen Louisa's problem stumped the Secretary of the Army.

He wanted to say that the 80,000 army could easily defeat a division of the French army, but he was afraid that after saying it, Queen Louisa really ordered that the 80,000 Spanish Army attack a division of the French army!

Because on the strategic map, the main force of the French Defence Force was busy cleaning up the revolutionary area in southwestern France. There were only two divisions in front of the Spanish 80,000 army, one of which was stationed in major cities in the rear...

However, the Spanish Army Minister knew the details of the disastrous defeat of the French Kingdom. The 80,000 Spanish Army attacked a defense zone where the French division was stationed, and the outcome was really unknown.
To be continued...
