084 Confrontation
“This is a sad story.”
In the top floor office of Rennes City, Brittany, Li Wei put down the report on Louis XVI's failure to escape and murmured to himself.
Two years have passed since Li Wei's rebellion. All the Brittany regions surrendered under the rule of Levi. Although some guerrillas who were still loyal to the Paris government were damaging, the Brittany region has generally become Li Wei's one-man showdown.
The Wallace Business Alliance's surrender greatly accelerated Levi's control over the Brittany region. Since Wallace and his group met Levi, Wallace and several important allies have been enlightened by Levi.
Since then, the propaganda and money of the Wallace Business Alliance have collapsed in the Brittany region, and the growing Black Dragon Legion troops under Li Wei have been approaching. The four provinces have never organized even one effective resistance.
With Levi's promise not to rob the city, the entire Brittany region was almost "decided by an edict".
The joke-like new parliament of Brittany even announced its closing two months ago.
However, Li Wei's control is still slightly insufficient, and the traditional aristocrats who defected to control the vast rural areas also appeared as Li Wei's territory grew larger and larger.
After all, not every traditional nobleman who surrenders has a large amount of wealth and even a guard.
Sometimes, when they take the ceasing documents issued by Li Wei to the corresponding village to declare sovereignty, they will be bombarded by the "mob"...
Farmers who are used to freedom and debt-free pressure are very disgusted with the serfs who have become nobles again!
Of course, there are mobs, and there are obedient people. Under the power of Li Wei's military, villages and towns with relatively wide terrain have accepted Li Wei's feudal rule, but those villages in the mountains and jungle often organize militia guerrillas to fight against the nobles' armed forces to the end!
Li Wei was unwilling to consume his precious troops to bury mountains and valleys to fight endless security wars, which led to the fact that even if the guerrillas in the Brittany region were not in power, they could never be wiped out.
Levi's practice of preserving his strength has gained. Now he has consumed all his glory. Since Wallace and his group surrendered, Levi has never fought a serious battle again, and naturally he has no glory value to be recorded.
As for surrounding the guerrillas, those guerrillas also know the power of the Black Dragon Legion. They fully interpret the tactics of the enemy's advance, we retreat, and we disturb us. They do not give Li Wei a chance to fight head-on!
This is also one of the reasons why Li Wei temporarily gave up the encirclement and suppression of guerrillas.
Nowadays, Li Wei has more than 18,500 guard infantry and more than 1,600 sharpshooters.
17 points of glory, only one is used to train sharpshooters, and the others are smashed into the guard infantry.
The obedience of the Brittany region has prevented Li Wei from losing many brainwashing soldiers in the past two years.
However, many of the nobles who were enfeoffed died.
There was no way, Li Wei was only responsible for the ban, not the armed forces for them. Those nobles would either use mortgage loans from banks under the Wallace Business Alliance, and then hire foreign mercenaries to "receive" the fiefdom.
Or you can only rely on your own family guards to fight.
Of course, some nobles do not need a loan with a large amount of money.
This is a very good era. As long as you have enough money, it is equivalent to having a pretty good army.
Under the large number of European countries, mercenaries had to seek other bosses to make ends meet, so the rich and powerful became the first choice targets.
Li Wei has developed so well, in addition to his own efforts and Wallace has brought him a big gift package, the most important help is foreign forces, and to be precise, the British shit-scratcher is powerful enough!
Since the Paris Revolution, the British scoundrel saw its century-old love - France is about to enter a chaotic and weak era, and then began to join the foreign policy of joining the alliance.
I have to say that the diplomatic work is still very good with a group of smart people in the parliament.
First, he used Louis XVI's wife, Queen Mary's identity and tragic experiences, won the sympathy of the Austrian Habsburg royal family and pulled the Austrian power into the chariot.
Then he influenced the Holy Roman Empire through Austria, and several powerful states near France were also brought to the negotiating table!
Finally, the Netherlands and Belgium were pulled into the chariot!
On the moral high ground, the British used the sacred and inviolable power of the king to denounce the misconduct of the Paris people and the revolutionaries.
Then he made a lot of profits and implyed that many countries, once we help Louis XVI, the little fat man, bring the Kingdom of France back to normal track, Louis XVI will definitely remember everyone's good things. Wouldn't you still offer a price at will?
What?
Worried about Louis XVI's bargaining?
How is that possible!
When we helped Louis XVI return to the throne, we must have entered Paris. Our army has entered Paris. Does Louis XVI have the courage to bargain?
It was that simple. Before the British had already given up, they relied on their fair share of trade and some trade concessions to bring soldiers from the eastern border of the French Kingdom!
The Austrian Habsburg family, who had their own relatives trapped in Paris, was the most active, and had the largest number of troops dispatched, and suddenly became the head of the coalition forces.
Naturally, the Paris government of the Kingdom of France faced so many foreign troops on the border. Even if they did not declare war, they only issued various protests and condemnation warnings, they did not dare to take it lightly. Most of the regular troops stationed around Paris were transferred to various borders to station on the border.
Defend foreign enemies!
So Li Wei felt relieved. The French regular army, which was originally used to suppress him, was confronted with the foreign coalition led by Austria because of the British riot.
Of course, the Paris government did not let Levi, the rebel, ignore it, and still dispatched a small number of regular troops. Together with the Normandy region and the Loire region, the provincial coalition forces near the Brittany region, the stationed troops on the border line of the Brittany region to prevent Levi from attacking with the Black Dragon Army.
Nowadays, most of the brainwashing corps under Li Wei are not in the city of Rennes, but are confronted with the Paris government's army at several defense nodes on the border of the Brittany region.
In the past two years, Li Wei has been busy accumulating strength, so he did not take the initiative to launch an attack. The Paris government has poor military quality and is worried about repeating the mistakes of the provincial coalition forces in the Brittany region, so he has been in a defensive position and chooses to pinch soft persimmons first.
