061 Busy Provincial Regiment
"We should now take advantage of the fact that Li Wei has not yet established a firm foothold and mobilize all the troops to attack Rennes. We cannot waste time here!
When Li Wei was in a rebellion, he was very arrogant and claimed that he would restore the old system, abolish the declaration of human rights, and act against the contrary!
Such an arrogant person did not announce the establishment of a new government after taking over the capital city of Rennes, nor did he issue any official documents to explain his political intentions.
Obviously, Li Wei’s lack of strength now forced him to lie down.
This is a god-given opportunity. Even if Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion has not been defeated in one battle, it will be small and the losses will be great. If you don't take this opportunity to eliminate Li Wei, wait for Li Wei to recover and complete the expansion and supplement of the Black Dragon Legion, it will be difficult to regain Rennes!”
Wallace made a generous speech in front of many "leading troops" councillors, trying to convince everyone to mobilize 20,000 provincial troops to attack Rennes.
"His Excellency Wallace, we didn't expect that Rennes would be thrown so quickly. After sweeping Levi's lair, 20,000 troops had already scattered into the province of Morbiang to maintain a new order. It was not possible to gather all the troops in a short time.
Moreover, the army came across provinces, and the soldiers lacked training, and were suffering and resentful. They needed some time to rest and restore their morale."
"I can't assemble everyone, I can pull as much as I can. As long as I gather 10,000 people, I can definitely take over Rennes.
Otherwise, we will rest here, and Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion in Rennes will also be expanding!
The Black Dragon Legion established by Li Wei is very evil. The soldiers trained by Li Wei are very fierce in fighting. Even if the battle is more than half, they can still launch a bayonet charge!
I dare to ask, how many teams are there in the world who can achieve this point?
If Li Wei is given enough time to expand and train the Black Dragon Legion, even if the Black Dragon Legion reaches 5,000, we may not be able to take down Rennes when we gather 20,000 people!"
"Your Excellency Wallace, you're exaggerating.
The troops of the provinces of Phoenister and the coastal province of Amor are not as incompetent as the Iller-Villenne legion.
It is said that at that time, the Ile-Villenne Legion was attacked by its own people, which led to a big loss.
Your Excellency Wallace, you will not treat all your troops as waste like the Iller-Villenne legion.”
After the fall of Rennes, the members of the district council who had conflicts of interest with Wallace immediately seized the opportunity and began to stumbling over Wallace.
Because they knew that the reason why Wallace was anxious was mainly because many of Wallace's industries were in the province of Iller-Villenne. Many factories in Rennes had Wallace shares, and now all of them were cheaper Levi!
Every extra month Li Wei occupied Rennes, Wallace would earn a lot of money less.
If Wallace hadn't had a great family, he would have gone bankrupt because of this war.
In fact, as Li Wei entered Rennes and raided surrounding towns, many small and medium-sized capitalists who relied on Rennes to make a living have lost their money...
Many times, the Black Dragon Legion does not need to rob them, and just stagnate the commercial economy of Rennes, which is enough to make the goods of small and medium-sized capitalists with insufficient capital chains accumulate and go bankrupt!
Wallace glared fiercely at the parliamentarian who had been singing opposite him. His business in the Ile-Velene Province was destroyed, and the total assets fell, which gave the other party a chance to turn over. The other party's nest was not in the Ile-Velene Province, and he wished that Levi would occupy it for a while there to cause damage...
As for what Wallace said about Levi's threat, everyone didn't take it seriously.
No matter how Wallace and his group promote the bravery of the Black Dragon Legion under Li Wei, the fact that it is too exaggerated is still difficult to convince.
Everyone is more willing to believe that it is because the Ile-Villenne legion is too weak, which leads to the defeat of more and less.
Of course, the reason why the coalition forces of the two major provinces delayed the time of sending troops was not really to give Li Wei the opportunity to expand his army, but that the two major provincial legions left their hometown and came to Morbiang Province, they could not return empty-handedly!
Even though everyone is French and is embarrassed to rob publicly, the local government’s supplies for rewarding the army are indispensable. During this period, the official roads leading to the two major provinces in Morbiang Province were very busy, and a large number of officers and soldiers returned to their hometowns every day!
The reason why Charles town only has more than a thousand soldiers is that other troops have spread across the province of Morbiang, extorting local governments with muskets... and collecting protection fees and public security fees!
After all, in name, the two major provincial legions came to pacify the rebellion in the Morbiang province.
This phenomenon of foreign troops extorting places is also a hidden rule in the corrupt nature of the French Kingdom, and it cannot be completely eliminated by a great revolution.
In this era, the people's regional thinking was very serious. Not to mention crossing provinces, even if they crossed several cities, they could still be regarded as outsiders.
There were members of parliament and Wallace on the top, and the two major provincial armies below were marching in the province of Morbiang for their own pockets. The gathering of troops naturally became a luxury.
Because Wallace led the Ile-Villenne Provincial Legion was wiped out by Levi, and his assets declined due to the war, his personal prestige was greatly reduced, and he could no longer reach the level of a decision.
Although the responsibility for defeat described in the official document was taken down by the dead general, the congressmen present knew that Wallace would have to bear at least half of the responsibility for the destruction of the Ile-Villenne Provincial Legion!
Because Wallace is the strategic commander who determines the direction of the legion, the dead general is at most a tactical commander.
If Wallace hadn't pointed at it, the Iller-Villenne Legion might not have encountered a battle with the Black Dragon Legion in the wild.
At that time, Wallace and his group thought of solving Levi's solution as soon as possible, and then ran to Morbiang Province to collect protection and security fees, which was similar to the idea of the two major provincial legions.
It’s a pity that Li Wei’s Black Dragon Legion is not as powerful as that…
The members of the Ile-Villenne province led by Wallace were still quarreling with the members of the other two provinces in the conference room, and had no conclusions.
As the victim, the provincial legislator of Morbiang quietly became a turtle.
There is no way, the army in Morbiang Province has been pressed to the ground by Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion, and the weak scum has no say!
Moorbion Provincial Speaker Yoshimoto looked at the noisy conference room and sighed in his heart: "It seems that there will be a result here until the military orders in Paris are issued."
