"Everyone, the Austrians have retracted into the Turin defense system. The city of Turin has been reinforced by the Kingdom of Sardinia over time, especially the highlands around the city of Turin, which have long been built with layers of defense key points.

If only the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia was stationed, the city of Turin would not naturally become our obstacle. But now tens of thousands of Austrian regular troops have entered, and almost all defense nodes are filled with defenders. If one defense key points is taken one by one, even our brave young men will have to fill in at least two or three divisions of troops!

Don't forget that with the Austrians, Sardinians in the city of Turin and the surrounding areas, they have to fight with us. I believe that the Austrians will never mind holding the gun behind the Sardinians and letting them fight to the death.

The city of Turin is located in the valley and the surrounding terrain is complex. We don’t have to attack forcefully, causing us a lot of casualties out of thin air, so my plan is to attract the main force of the Austrians.

The Sardinians' courage has been scared by us. As long as we defeat this Austrian main force, the city of Turin will be defeated without any attack.

Therefore, our next strategic goal is to attract the main Austrians in Turin.”

As soon as Carl finished speaking, a major general of the division commander level was shouting loudly at the lower position: "Lieutenant General Carl, my soldiers and I are never afraid of death. No matter how stubborn the enemy is, I am willing to take my troops to the last one!"

Carl glanced at his subordinate who was planning to do something recklessly, as if he had already been used to this rhythm. Every time he held a military meeting, there would always be senior officers below shouting slogans of loyalty to "Lord Li Wei", regardless of how much losses would be during the battle.

In their eyes, war only has a difference between victory and loss, and casualties data is really just a piece of data, whether it is the enemy or the own!

Of course, Carl habitually ignored the other party's words.

Indeed, if the French Defence Force really attacked at any cost, Turin could be 100%, but is it worth the loss of tens of thousands of people?

It is true that as the attacking side, the loss of one side is far lower than that of the enemy and the victory is a good ending for European countries, but Carl is unwilling to waste everyone's life like this.

"Major General Niza."

Carl raised his eyes and called out.

"Now, please give Lieutenant General Carl."

Niza was a senior officer who was originally from the Standing Legion. After the French Defence Force was reorganized, Niza entered the French Defence Force system. Since Niza was a native military talent, when Li Wei made his fortune, he was promoted from the local security regiment to the garrison corps step by step, and then he became a senior general of the garrison corps little by little, and was finally responsible for forming the Standing Legion. Therefore, Niza was not brainwashed by the military camp, but was just administrative enlightenment.

Today, not all the middle and senior officers of the French National Defense Forces are from military camps. A very small number of people who first followed Li Wei to conquer the world and were enlightened by the administration and confirmed the temperament of the military, entered the French National Defense Forces system.

They are very small, but they are much more rational than the brainwashing officers in the barracks who are desperate for life.

Among them, Niza and Napoleon, who had just been discovered by Carl.

Compared to Niza, Napoleon's level is relatively low, and he is not even qualified to participate in this military meeting of the top leaders of the First Army. Unlike Niza, he is already an old commander of the Levi government.

"I have always maintained a full quota for your First Division. After every battle, I will give priority to your First Division to replenish new recruits and maintain complete combat effectiveness.

Therefore, your First Division is always responsible for the most difficult combat tasks.

This time is no exception.

Austrian Marshal Pauliyu's command ability is unquestionable. If our army stayed in the Kingdom of Sardinia, he would definitely not lead the main force of the Austrian army to attack.

Therefore, if you want to attract him and his tens of thousands of Austrian main players, you need a sweet bait.

I believe that for any Austrian, we cannot refuse the temptation to wipe out our French Defence Force's First Army!

I will lead the main force of the First Army to advance eastward and attack the Milan area, exposing the rear of the First Army to Baoliyu's nose.

In addition to the guard troops of a division that I originally stayed behind, it is your first division.

Don’t count too much on the guards, because the guards have long been separated in order to escort the logistics convoy, and some people are still in France.

Once Austrian Marshal Pauliyu leads Austrian main force to go south and tries to cut off our army's logistics line, you and your First Division will be the only barrier.

When Lieutenant General Polkha was the major general commander of the new Second Division of the former Black Dragon Legion, he commanded a division of troops to defeat the Pu'Austrian coalition. I believe that Niza, you can also defeat the Austrian main force of Baoliyu in the field!

Without a strong city defense fortress, the Austrians only give us the French Defence Forces to carry shoes!”

Carl's tone was filled with pride for the French Defence Force.

The current French Defense Forces are actually an expanded version of the Black Dragon Legion. Although the name has changed, what will never change is the sense of honor.

"Lt. General Carl, can't we leave two or three more divisions?

It would be too risky to leave only the First Division.”

The other division commanders interrupted.

They don't want to fight the Italian state coalition, like shrimp-like shrimps, they want to fight against the combat-capable Austrians!

"We once defeated the invasion of Paris by the Pakatan and Austrian coalition with very little force. Do you think the Austrians still dare to take the initiative to attack our army without an absolute advantage in military strength?

Since it is bait, I naturally have to be weak enough. One division is already the limit. Not to mention adding one division, even if I add another group, I am worried that I will scare Bao Liyou so much that I dare not take action.

As long as Turin does not fall, the Austrians have some ways to make the Kingdom of Sardinia call on the Sardinians to launch guerrillas everywhere to harass our army's logistics lines. At that time, the more we will share the guard forces in the back line. The deeper the Italian expedition, the thinner the troops our army will be in charge of attack.

So this time we will gather the main Austrians who annihilate Baoliyu at the lowest cost in the shortest time!"

At this time, Niza took the initiative to speak out: "Lieutenant General Carl, what if the Austrian Marshal Boliyu dare not even face my First Division?"

Carl was stunned, then a stiff smile opened on the corner of his mouth, showing that he was in a very happy mood.

"If Baliyu didn't dare to attack even the forces of one of my First Army, it would only mean that the morale within the Austrian army was very sluggish. At that time, when I defeated the Italian state coalition and took the Milan area, I would turn around and siege Turin.

No matter how strong the defensive fortress in Turin City is, the enemy defending internally is not angry enough, and it will not cause us much loss.

It's as easy as our attack on the slopes where tens of thousands of people were stationed in the Kingdom of Sardinia."

After Carl finished speaking, a sarcasm to the Austrians and Sardinians suddenly sounded in the military tent.

After the combat plan was finalized, Carl immediately led the main force of the First Army to continue to drive towards the east, heading straight to the Milan area. After receiving the news, the Italian state coalition forces outside the Milan area were shocked three times a day, and dozens or hundreds of deserters left the defense line every night!

The best of them were naturally troops from Venice and Genoa. After they found that the main force of the French was fighting towards them, they began to calculate the escape route, and had no intention of fighting with the French army.

The phobia began to spread within the Italian state coalition.

Obviously, the morale of the Italian state coalition was not as good as that of the original Sardinian army!

Especially after the Sardinian Army was completely wiped out by the French Wehrmacht, which was far less than theirs, the Italian coalition was even more afraid of war and tired of war.

In the eyes of most Italian state coalition soldiers, this war was fought for the Austrians. The Italian region was not a unified country. Why did they fight for the interests of the Austrians?

Anyway, the Italian region is not occupied by the French, and the various states in the Italian region are also the younger brothers of the Vienna government!

Originally, the Kingdom of Sardinia could have brought everyone to fight against the enslavement of the Holy Roman Empire. Now the Kingdom of Sardinia was knocked out by the French. There were no leaders in Italy, so we can't count on the two Sicily kingdoms.

Although the two Sicily Kingdoms are the country with the largest land area in the Italian Peninsula and are also the country ruled by the Bourbon royal family, the two Sicily Kingdoms are also the poorest country in Italy!

Most of the firearms of the Naples and Sicilian soldiers in the Italian state coalition were purchased from Venetian merchants, and they were also very loaned!

The two Sicily kingdoms are now a dual kingdom, with the inner part being the Kingdom of Naples and the Kingdom of Sicily. However, the crowns are both side-lined by the Bourbon royal family, so they are collectively called the Two Sicily kingdoms.

However, the two Sicily kingdoms have weak military capabilities, underdeveloped economy, and population do not match the vast area. The country is full of mountain jungles that are difficult to develop, and it is definitely a marginalized remote area in Italy.

The two Sicily kingdoms seemed to have nothing to care for except for their unwavering hostility to France ruled by Levi.

Naturally, the two Sicily kingdoms also have little influence in the Italian region.

During this war between the anti-French alliance and France, the Kingdom of Sardinia had fallen. If the anti-French alliance wins, the Austrian forces can invade the Italian region in an all-round way and become the suzerain of many states in Italy.

If the French win...

That is probably something the Italian states do not want to see. God knows how the tyrant dictator Livi would deal with the Italian region!

Even if the Italian region is forcibly swallowed, many Italian states will not be surprised.

Compared to the Vienna government's eating behavior, Livi's simplicity and rudeness obviously made the monarchs of the Italian state more frightened.

Not to mention that the parliament of the French Republic has become Levi's voice-over, and Levi's hypnosis has been known by many European monarchs and nobles.

They even regarded Paris as Levi's cave. If they had not brought the army into Paris, no one would have wanted to be called to Paris by Levi to meet.

However, the ideas of the top leaders of the Italian state are completely different from those of the lower classes of the Italian state.

The soldiers of the Italian state coalition were all from ordinary families and mercenaries who had no spare money. What they wanted was spaghetti, so they would not think about such complicated politics.

Nationalist ideas have not yet appeared in Italy at this time. To put it bluntly, the soldiers of the Italian state coalition were fighting for money.

It would be fine if they were fighting against ordinary enemies, but the number of people coming from the opposite side was more than them, more artillery than them, and their morale was not as high as that of the French Defence Forces of the Italian State Army. The soldiers of the Italian State Alliance were not brainless, so they naturally understood that this was a war that would definitely be defeated, even if they stayed in a safer fortification!

The army of the Kingdom of Sardinia was also completely wiped out by the French Wehrmacht in a safe fortification!

With the example of the Kingdom of Sardinia in front, it is not difficult to understand why the Italian state coalition's morale fell rapidly to negative...

The Kingdom of Sardinia was placed on the European continent at this time, and was naturally just an ordinary country, which was better than a small country. However, in Italy, the Kingdom of Sardinia was recognized as the military leader.

If it weren't for the two powerful neighbors around the Kingdom of Sardinia, France and Austria, who had been obstructing, the Kingdom of Sardinia would have long launched the war of unity on the Italian Peninsula.

Now that the eldest brother of the Italian region has fallen, the Kingdom of Sardinia has fallen, you can imagine how desperate and helpless the officers and soldiers of the Italian state coalition are...

Originally, they thought that at least Austrians were blocking it, and the terrain of Turin was also very prominent. In the Middle Ages of Europe, Turin itself was built as a military fortress, but later it gradually developed into an economic, political and military center.

Therefore, the Italian coalition all thought that Marshal Boliyu was very interesting and knew that they could not fight the war and arranged it to be in the rear of the Milan area, far away from the French Defence Force's front.

However, the development of the war was beyond the expectations of the Italian state coalition. The crazy French Wehrmacht and Livi's loyal dogs did not fight the Austrians in the Turin area, but ignored the tens of thousands of Austrians in the Turin area, and the main force advanced towards the Milan area!

This has killed the Italian state coalition!

Perhaps this self-destruction strategy can allow the Austrians to see the opportunity of a turning point in the war, but regardless of whether the rear of the French Defence First Army was cut off by the Austrians, the Italian state coalition that blocked the French Defence First Army will definitely be in a state of chaos...

So, the most interesting scene in this anti-French war appeared. When the Black Dragon Battle Flag, the main force of the French Defense Force, appeared in the vision of the frontier positions of the Italian National Alliance, the generals of the Italian National Alliance fled with their own troops in a tacit understanding!

The troops of two of the Sicily kingdoms ran away last, demonstrating the "supreme courage" among the Italians.
