After the destruction of the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Holy Roman Empire was no longer a matter of shock. With the destruction of the Kingdom of Bavaria, dozens of small states were occupied by the French Defense Forces.

The French Wehrmacht, who did all this, only lost about 15,000 guard infantry and about 300 guard cavalry.

The troops of the Annihilated Holy Roman Empire coalition were ten times more than this number!

Of course, there are many small state armies that are just a mess here. Many state armies are actually city guards, because those states only have one city...

At this point, Vienna has no longer a great country that is a scapegoat in front of him. If the French Defense Force continues to attack, it will directly plunder Austria's local fiefdom!

What made Austria most angry was that the Prussian army had been staying in North Germany and was eyeing it, as if it was going to watch the French Defence Forces attack Vienna, causing the French Empire to fight against Austria to lose both sides.

Because the Prussian Kingdom is very clear that Austria will take all its troops in Vienna to fight against the French Empire, and the French army has occupied so many cities in Germany, and each city will have to leave a small number of troops to garrison. If the main force is concentrated to attack Vienna, there will be no surplus troops at all.

Now even the French army occupying Amsterdam has begun to evacuate one after another and hand over the garrison power with the troops of the Kingdom of Belgium.

The Kingdom of Prussia planned to wait for the main force of the French Defence Force to fight with the Austrians, starting from the northern lowland countries, entering the Netherlands and attacking the French mainland.

At that time, the French army, which was dominated by the main force, could not turn around to support it in a short period of time, and might achieve a brilliant victory.

This is the wishful thinking of the Kingdom of Prussia.

As for the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, the Prussian Kingdom was very happy. They were the German states that most wanted the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire!

Because without the Holy Roman Empire, Austria will not politically suppress Prussia.

As for Tsarist Russia, it did not intend to send its main force to participate in this continental war. It would only be considered fighting with the French Empire unless Vienna was occupied by the French army and Austria fell.

After all, the combat effectiveness shown by the French Defence Force is too terrible.

Without the rescue of the Russian and Pu'er army, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire finally lowered his noble head. The two sides signed an armistice agreement in Munich. This time, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire paid more. Not only did the Holy Roman Empire disappear, but Bavaria and a bunch of small states around were also included in the Rhine Alliance formed by the French Empire's emperor Li Weixin.

The Holy Roman Empire was officially disbanded, and the Berlin government of the Kingdom of Prussia was very disappointed. They actually expected Austria to attract the main force of the French army.

However, this result is also beneficial to the Kingdom of Prussia.

After the Holy Roman Emperor signed the armistice agreement, he fell ill when he returned and went to see God not long after...

His successor Franz merged the territories he inherited into the Austrian Empire, including later Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Transylvania in Romania and Galicia in Poland.

Originally there was the Northern Italy region, but now it has been occupied by foreign legions in France.

After the founding of the Austrian Empire, it is still a top European power that cannot be underestimated, with a population of nearly 20 million!

The most important thing is that all the territory of the Austrian Empire was under the rule of Franz. After the founding of the Austrian Empire, Franz was called the Emperor of the Austrian Empire Franz I.

The establishment of the Austrian Empire quickly stabilized the ruling foundation of the Habsburg dynasty and did not let the Habsburg dynasty be depressed in a series of military failures.

After Franz I founded the Austrian Empire, he immediately drew troops from the east and south to demonstrate his determination to defend Vienna to the French Empire.

The establishment of the Austrian Empire and the end of the Holy Roman Empire led to the rapid collapse of the second anti-French alliance.

Not long after, Tsarist Russia and other continental countries signed a ceasefire agreement with the French Empire. The Tsarist Russia Empire did not get any advantage in the second anti-French war, so naturally it would have to stop the losses in time. Moreover, Austria, as a vanguard, had a ceasefire. Why did Tsarist Russia continue to maintain the war?

War costs money!

Tsarist Russia was not afraid of death, but was afraid of spending money...

There are more than 100 million gray animals in Tsarist Russia. Since they are all serfs, gathering and training is relatively convenient. The only thing they lack is that they do not have enough money to arm the more than 100 million gray animals...

After the second anti-French alliance collapsed, Emperor Franz I, who regarded the disintegration of the Holy Roman Empire as a great humiliation, began to have frequent contact with the Tsarist government, and the two sides quickly signed a trade treaty for weapons exchange of agricultural products.

The Austrian Empire supplied basic weapons such as Tsarist Russia's muskets and ammunition, while Tsarist Russia used a large amount of agricultural products to exchange for them.

It can be said that both sides take the needs.

Apart from big cities, Tsarist Russia's vast territory remained in primitive agricultural production. Coupled with the low consumption of food by serfs, Tsarist Russia has always been the main exporter of agricultural products in Europe.

On the contrary, the Austrian Empire was a conservative monarchy that paid great attention to industrial reform. The domestic population was dense, and industrial finished products were the main profit points of the Austrian Empire's foreign trade.

After the establishment of the Rhine Alliance, many surrendered states and urban ruling classes were not cleansed and replaced by the French army, but instead asked them to enter Paris to meet the great French emperor.

This condition is legally understandable. After all, the suzerain state of the Rhine Alliance is the French Empire!

However, the rulers of many states did not return to the Rhine Alliance, but instead hid in large Central European cities such as Vienna or Berlin, waiting for opportunities.

This includes Pope Pius VII.

After the signing of the Armistice Treaty, the Piedmont region of the Kingdom of Sardinia was ceded to the French Empire, and the French Empire established a new region in the Piedmont region.

The Italian Peninsula was merged into a unified Italian Kingdom by the French Empire. Except for the Sicily Kingdom on Sicily that was not occupied by the French army, other areas were included in the territory of the Italian Kingdom.

Italy achieved true unity for the first time in the hands of Levi!

The king of the Kingdom of Italy was a Tuscan noble who defected to the French Empire.

Under the unstoppable offensive of the French Defence Force, the top aristocratic group in the Italian region had no surprises, and this kind of traitor with a noble identity was naturally treated as a typical example by the Levi government. The newly established Italian Kingdom arranged positions for these role models.

Of course, before they took office, they had to go to Paris to meet Levi.

Li Wei did not ask the army of the Italian Kingdom to help him fight, and Li Wei did not dare to let his army become an allied force of the Italian army!

Li Wei only needs to ensure that the army of the Kingdom of Italy can maintain the stability of the Italian mainland.

During this period, the Italian army stationed in Italy was miserable by the guerrillas.

The most hateful thing is that these guerrillas are not composed of most people at the bottom, and the French army cannot let go of their hands and feet to implement the "Three Lights Policy", otherwise the guerrillas will only fight more and more.

This is the main factor that led to Li Wei not directly annexing the Italian region, but rather to establish the Italian Kingdom.

Li Wei could not have stayed a large number of troops in the Italian region for a long time. The 30,000 Italian legions were scattered on the Italian Peninsula and could not form a field combat cluster. Once the war started again with the Austrian Empire, they would only be wiped out one by one.

Therefore, it is better to establish an Italian Kingdom of vassal state and help manage the Italians. The Italian Legion only needs to be arranged on the northern border of the Kingdom of Italy and look at the army of the Austrian Empire.

As for the Sardinian Legion, since the Piedmont region was directly annexed to its homeland by the French Empire, the Sardinian Legion could only stay in the Piedmont region and slowly cleared out the guerrillas with a small number of people. It is estimated that they would not be able to use them within a few years...

The issues of guerrillas and security warfare are the biggest obstacle to Li Wei's expansion. It is not that the French Defence Force cannot defeat the guerrillas, but that the guerrillas never work face to face with the French Defence Force. The two sides are not so much fighting against each other, but rather that they are playing hide-and-seek.

This is why the losses were almost negligible when the French Defence Force fought against the guerrillas, but local wealth was steadily declining.

What those guerrillas are best at attacking weak points, and then plundering and destroying!

This situation cannot be eliminated unless the Franco-Federal Defense Forces are only stationed in cities and transportation points.

But doing so will put the vast rural areas in anarchy, at most outsource them to let the locals manage the locals...

God knows if the locals will collude with the guerrillas?

Therefore, the public security methods of regular troops stationed in cities and transportation points can only be used for a while but not for a long time, otherwise it will only encourage the arrogance of the guerrillas.

If you want to completely suppress the guerrillas, you can only send the regular army out, play hide-and-seek games with the guerrillas through various methods, slowly catch or rush to block them, and drive the guerrillas into the mountains and forests. If you are trapped for a while, you will sooner or later starve to death.

When Li Wei's previous life, the Japanese invaded the three northeastern provinces in his history, they used this method to wipe out the guerrillas in the three northeastern provinces bit by bit.

During the Japanese occupation, the three northeastern provinces had the best public security situation compared to other occupied areas, but because of the long occupation period, the local powerful guerrillas were wiped out completely.

There is no shortcut to guerrillas and security wars. Even in the 21st century, the US military, whose weapons and equipment have reached the crushing level, will it deal with a group of Afghan guerrillas who are still at the AK assault rifle and rocket launcher level, and will it withdraw in the end because of losing money?

Fortunately, Livi's army did not attack the vast number of lower-class civilians in the Piedmont and Italy. The scale of the guerrillas was never too large, and it was relatively less difficult to wipe them out.

After the victory of the Second Anti-French War, the French Empire's homeland annexed the Piedmont region, while the vassal states added the Rhine Alliance, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Italy.

The eastern part of the French Empire was surrounded by a bunch of vassal states.

However, after signing the armistice treaty, Carl received the first order not to transfer to the Ilibyan Peninsula to rescue the Catalans who were about to die, but to siege the Kingdom of Switzerland!

Yes, Levi did not agree to the Armistice Treaty of the Kingdom of Switzerland. Levi made a request to the Kingdom of Switzerland that the Kingdom of Switzerland would become a vassal of the French Empire, and the King of Switzerland needed to go to Paris to meet Levi in ​​person!

Look at the loyal appearance of the rulers of those vassal states when they met Li Wei. The rumors that Li Wei would be hypnotized have been confirmed in the upper class of Europe. The Swiss king naturally understands what the outcome would be if he went to Paris!

It doesn’t matter whether the Kingdom of Switzerland will become a vassal state. Anyway, Switzerland has always been a small country, and it is not unacceptable to become a vassal state in a big country.

But the Swiss king did not want to be a slave to others' thoughts!

There is no choice between the Italian king and the Dutch king. If the members of the Rhine Alliance don’t go to Paris to meet Levi, they will not be qualified to take that position!

This is why everyone is willing to go to Paris to meet Levi.

If you can become a superior person, it is not unacceptable to be enslaved by an emperor.

In the 21st century, if time can be exchanged for money, some civilian families are willing to exchange it. After all, they are just using time to exchange for money when they come out to work?

And there is also a painful process of hard work, lowly, flattery, and betrayal of dignity!

In comparison, if you just exchange time for money, you don’t have to go through the hard work of working, you naturally know how to choose.

There are even people who exchange their time for money for life, let alone exchange spiritual slavery for power?

Don’t talk about freedom. If freedom really makes people sacrifice their lives, there will be no violent machine like the state, and people will not be divided into different places in society...

Compared to money and power, freedom is something that humans need less.

How many people have worked hard to make money at work and sell their free time?

How many people use their free time after get off work to build their own interpersonal network just to make themselves go further?

In the face of money and power, freedom is really cheap...

Because of this, many people still flock to them even though they knew that they were likely to be controlled by hypnosis when they went to Paris to meet Li Wei.

After all, Li Wei's hypnosis is not just a change of mind. Except for being loyal to Li Wei, the people who are hypnotized are similar to the previous place.

However, as the supreme king of Switzerland, he was unwilling to devote his loyalty without reservation.

The Swiss king knew that once he went to Paris, he might not only be enslaved by Livi, but his entire family would gradually become Livi's slaves, just like the current Italian royal family, where family members would "travel" to Paris one after another.
