On the streets of Barcelona, ​​traces left during the last war of the Catalonian Kingdom can be vaguely seen. The streets and alleys are full of guard infantry who welcomes their supreme commander with their heads held high.

Polkha rode a tall horse, wearing a sailing cap with white feathers on his head, and accompanied by a group of guards, slowly walked into the center of Barcelona.

Soon, Polkha saw a group of gorgeously dressed Spanish gentlemen standing on the steps to welcome him.

If there were no guard infantrymen on guard holding guns around, this picture would be more harmonious.

"A great French ally, I welcome you on behalf of the city of Barcelona and the entire Kingdom of Spain."

Boercha, who was riding on the war horse, walked up to the fat Spanish man with a flattering face.

"Who are you?"

A look of confusion appeared on Boercha's face. He really couldn't remember the other party's identity, or had never asked about it.

The smile on the fat Spanish man walking in the forefront did not change at all, and he bowed slightly and replied: "Commander Bolkha, I am Lord Angrus who is loyal to King Carlos IV of Spain.

He is also the current mayor of Barcelona."

"I remember that the city of Barcelona and the entire Catalonia region were not all loyal to Ferdinand VII?"

The embarrassment flashed across Lord Angelus's face. Even though he was as thick-skinned as he was, he was a little involuntarily rejecting his former oath in front of everyone.

However, since Lord Angrus has taken this step, he has naturally made a good response.

Although betrayal of the oath will damage your noble reputation, it is better than being beaten to death!

"Commander Polcha, at the moment the powerful French army stepped into the Catalonia region, I had changed the object of my oath of allegiance, and I would be the most faithful servant of Carlos IV!

He is also a loyal friend of the Roman Empire."

Now both sides of the Spanish Kingdom’s civil war are the royal army led by Carlos IV and Ferdinand VII elected by the noble coalition forces.

Ferdinand VII left Madrid since the restoration of Carlos IV. Ferdinand VII, who had no throne, had no use value in the eyes of those Spanish nobles. Therefore, during the restoration of Carlos IV, Ferdinand VII was on the brink of politics.

It was not until the Spanish Civil War broke out again that Ferdinand VII was remembered by the rebellious Spanish nobles.

Since they were dissatisfied with the rule of Carlos IV, they certainly had to support a new Spanish king.

The Spanish Kingdom is still relatively conservative and traditional. The nobles will not proclaim themselves as kings. Even if they rebel, they will support a royal member. According to the law of succession, Ferdinand VII was naturally the best candidate for Carlos IV to abdicate.

Orthodox still has a strong legal effect in the Spanish Kingdom, so Spanish aristocrats only took this trick.

Why did Li Wei, who established the Roman Empire, give himself a lot of titles later?

It is because the white Europeans of this era have become accustomed to this monarchical rule, and titles are actually the legal basis for ruling territory.

As for the aristocrats' self-esteem, it is an unjust thing for European countries and most nobles.

If any nobleman can become king, wouldn’t it be all messed up?

This is also why the Spanish rebel nobles had clearly publicly rebelled against the Spanish royal family and still wanted to support Carlos IV's son Ferdinand VII to become king.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Carlos IV and his son Ferdinand VII have become enemies.

Enemies in various senses!

Boercha curled his lips. For him, who regards loyalty as the highest honor, these sellers who seek honor and fear of death are naturally in the chain of contempt.

If it weren't for the overall situation, people like Lord Angrus, Polkha would rather send them to labor offices for labor reform than continue to retain their positions and help manage the city of Barcelona and the entire Catalonia region.

With these local officials like local tyrants, the efficiency of accepting new territory will be much higher. This is why Boercha is willing to endure the fat man like Lord Angrus to flatter him in front of him.

Lord Angrus watched as Polkha rode his tall horse completely ignored his flattery and left, and the smile on his face suddenly became stiff.

However, Lord Angelus was not discouraged. After all, the other party was the commander of the French Legion. It was a kind of honor to carry shoes to the other party with his own identity. It was understandable that the other party ignored him, even if he was angry...

Even the superficial work of a virtuous and honest man is not done!

These damn French bitches!

Of course, the following officers will do the handover. It won’t take long to arrive in Barcelona in the first batch of local militias from the French region.

All Spanish officials can do is administrative matters, and the armed forces will definitely be firmly controlled by the Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire was relatively tolerant of urban areas that voluntarily surrendered and did not carry out armed resistance.

Moreover, the Roman Empire did not enter the territory of the Spanish Kingdom as an Allied Army in this invasion, but was asked for help from Carlos IV.

No matter how fake this layer of skin is, it needs to be worn. It is a commoner who can fool the...

Haven’t you seen that the news in the 21st century is full of beautiful and harmonious states, but in real society, there are cold exchanges of interests and endless overtime classes!

In the 21st century society, all needs this beautiful skin, let alone the dark age today?

Those who are suffering cannot deceive, but those who are not trapped in the serpentine's nest can still fool them.

While Polcha was advancing rapidly in the Kingdom of Spain, Li Wei from Vienna received bad news.

The Navy Minister stood in front of Levi with a sad face, waiting for Levi's upcoming anger like a child who made a mistake.

However, the expected anger did not come, and Li Wei's plain tone came.

“Good record.

Is this battle report really unfamiliar?

The Royal British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet suffered more than 60% of the combat losses?

I can't believe that a fleet controlled by a group of new recruits can cause such high losses to the enemy."

Seeing that Li Wei was not at all unhappy about the destruction of the main force of the Mediterranean Fleet, the Navy Minister sighed and explained:

"Your Majesty, many of the warships in our fleet are new ships, while the warships of the Royal British Navy Mediterranean Fleet are almost all old ships."

Li Wei nodded slightly: "Yes, the wooden sailing warship is just unattended and is too easy to be sunk.

And those damn Britons also brought grenades to the warship, which we did not expect.

But don’t worry, good news has been heard from the Academy of Sciences. The steam engine power problem of the ironclad ship has been solved, and the first ironclad ship will be born from the Roman Empire!”

"Congratulations to your Majesty, the Empire is victorious!"

"Although the Imperial Navy was defeated this time, the retreating sailors are precious resources, more precious than the returned ships!

I hope that when the ironclad ship goes into the sea, the sailors above will be experienced veterans."

In the autumn of 1809, after the Roman Empire intervened in the Spanish Civil War, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland took the lead in declaring war on France.

Then the Kingdom of Spain represented by Ferdinand VII declared war on France.

Immediately afterwards, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Sicily, the Kingdom of Sweden and other anti-French allies declared war on France one after another.

The fifth anti-French war broke out in full swing!

Before the declaration of war from Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland was submitted to Vienna, the main force of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean squadron of Britain attacked the main force of the Roman Empire's Mediterranean Fleet and achieved a miserable victory.

Almost wiped out the main force of the Mediterranean fleet of the Roman Empire.

Of course, the continental countries do not recognize the Roman Empire, and they are all called France.

Continental countries only recognize Levi's rule over France.

Other titles are considered illegally obtained.

After the declaration of war in Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland, the main force of the British German Corps was immediately sent to join the Spanish Civil War. Before the arrival of the tens of thousands of French corps led by Polkha, they defeated the army loyal to Carlos IV.

Carlos IV had no choice but to flee Madrid with his family in a hurry, and only brought a small number of followers and guards to search for Boercha for asylum.

After the defeat of Carlos IV, the Spanish nobles who remained neutral and waited and watched were afraid of the military power of Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland, and joined Ferdinand VII's Spanish army.

Only the Spanish nobles in the areas that Polcha had occupied chose to be loyal to Carlos IV.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation in the Spanish Kingdom is no longer something that the Spanish can decide. The German Corps of the British King proved their strength on the battlefield, and the Spanish army was no match for them at all.

The Spanish Army, which swept across the continent hundreds of years ago, was already dead!

Carlos IV's retreat only gave Boercha a nominal support, and the size of the three coalition forces of the Kingdom of Portugal, the Kingdom of Spain, the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland on the Ilibyan Peninsula has exceeded 100,000!

This is just a regular army unit that is being organized, and the number of local militias cannot be counted at all.

In this era, many countries actually did not have a police system at all. The perfect police system was a concept proposed by Li Wei after the rise of the rise. The security forces were mainly militia regiments.

Whether it is the public security forces that protect rural areas or cities, they are essentially militias.

However, militia treatment in big cities can be better.

This is also why there are very few troops on paper in the continental countries, but in the war period, they can expand several times or even dozens of times at once.

This expansion mainly involves the inclusion of local militia regiments into regular troops.

Then, we will set up a new recruit battalion to strengthen the soldiers and train the recruits to supplement them.

The combat effectiveness of these local militias is uneven. The training level and weapons and equipment of militias in wealthy cities are no different from those of regular troops. They can participate in field battles by pulling them out.

Local militias without money are actually spontaneously organized, without even military pay or basic subsidies, and even need to rely on the "donations" of local tyrants to maintain.

The latter accounts for the majority in continental countries.

The militia is more like a part-time position.

From this we can also see how chaotic the European military system is.

However, no matter where the militias are, they have one common characteristic: when they are fighting against foreign wars, their morale in military morale will generally not be too high, or they will be proportional to the money they earn.
