Among the three field defense lines outside Caen, the first one has the largest area, after all, it is the outermost "circle".

Naturally, Senawei has the most troops to deploy here, with more than 80% of the troops being deployed here.

The Senavi idea of ​​the experts on paper is very simple. The first line of defense is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of troops. In response to the strong combat power of Li Wei, the defenders' forces will naturally have the better.

Secondly, if the first line of defense cannot be defended, the Li Wei rebels cannot gather all the provincial coalition forces inside. People are not pigs, so if they can't beat them, don't you know how to run away?

No, pigs know how to escape!

Therefore, it doesn’t matter if the troops on the two back lines of defense are small. When the defeated soldiers from the first back lines of defense are pouring in, the troops on the two back lines of defense will naturally become abundant in an instant.

As for the morale of the defeated soldiers, Senavi has always believed that freedom, equality, and fraternity, otherwise the slogan of death would be extremely tempting, not to mention that the morale required to fight based on fortifications is not high.

This has led to 80% of the provincial coalition forces in the Caen defense line being continuously mobilized through the inside line of the first line of defense, rushing towards the breakout, trying to drive out the rebels of Li Wei who had not gained a foothold.

In Senave's eyes, Major General Carl of the Levi rebels had only invested thousands of people. Can't one of ten fights drive the other party away?

Although the provincial coalition forces were relatively poor, they had been trained for two years. Even if they were recruiting new recruits at the beginning, they would be enough to become qualified line infantry in two years!

Coupled with the inspiring revolutionary slogans of the Paris Revolution, Senavi felt that his chances of winning in this battle were quite high.

Not to mention, the military camps in Caen are working overtime and working hard. The National Self-Defense Force, which has just recruited tens of thousands of citizens of Caen, is undergoing the 997-style training.

This is not the soldiers whom Senavi forced to recruit, but the team that was brought together by promoting the revolutionary slogan of freedom, equality, and fraternity, plus some temporary subsidies for joining the army.

In fact, at this time, the bottom-level soldiers of the provincial coalition forces in the defense line of Caen were mostly "voluntary soldiers" who voluntarily joined with revolutionary slogans, rather than the so-called conscripts.

Of course, many of the volunteers here are also working for the wartime subsidies.

For the people in the Normandy region, joining this army is not only on the moral high ground, but also on the basis of additional income. Why not do it?

As for the threat from Levi’s rebels?

Two years ago, who knew that Li Wei's rebels would not march towards Paris and insisted on staring at Normandy to fight to the death!

The last independent country in the French region of this world, the Principality of Brittany, was annexed by the French Kingdom a hundred years ago. With a long period of assimilation efforts, the prototype of the French nation has now been formed. Whoever occupys Paris, the political center of the French nation, will naturally have some orthodox authority!

This is why the entire French Kingdom immediately changed its course as soon as the Paris Revolution was successful.

Everyone has become accustomed to determining their own political direction based on the political direction of Paris.

If it weren't for the continued deprivation and suppression of the privileges of the kingly nobles and traditional Catholics after the Paris Revolution, there would be no large number of traditional nobles and priests who fled and rebelled after the Paris Revolution.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, if Levi, the "rebel leader", really wants to seize the French regime, his first offensive target will definitely be Paris, defeat Paris, and re-support Louis XVI to the throne, and even shamelessly support the other orthodox heirs of the Bourbon dynasty ascend the throne. Perhaps the whole of France will surrender!

At that time, how can we continue to chew on all regions of the entire Kingdom of France step by step?

Even those foreign interfering troops had strategic goals to capture Paris, and they had no decision on the offensive direction after the capture of Paris.

Because in the eyes of the European powers, Paris fell into the French government almost surrendered.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

It was this European inertial thinking that made Li Wei's history in his previous life feel happy that he would surrender if he won the Moscow Russians.

The result was wrong. The political tradition of the Russians was different from that of Europe. The Russians' political teacher was a Mongolian, inherited from the East...

The legal system in the eyes of the Eastern dynasty is just that. Although the capital is also important, it will not be the point where the country will be destroyed if it loses the capital.

In the Eastern Dynasty, the capitals of many dynasties were lost, but in the end they still stood firm!

Therefore, the Duchy of Moscow, which was ruled by the Mongols, later Tsarist Russia, naturally had many similarities with the East.

For example, the scene of father and son fighting each other in the coup of the Russians was similar to the court of the Eastern Dynasty.

In contrast, in Central and European countries, the royal family and aristocrats are truly friendly and friendly. Even if they win the battle for royal power, they will take the initiative to let go of the brothers they caught, and then wait for the brothers to come back again and defeat themselves and seize the throne...

To eradicate the roots is a cruel and insincere act in the eyes of the European nobles!

This is also one of the reasons why Western Europe despises Central Europe, Central Europe despises Eastern Europe, and the entire continent regards Russians as barbarians.

To put it bluntly, most Europeans cannot accept the Eastern politics that uses any means to make power. They are more willing to stay at the forefront, or their feudal system is not worthy of their killing!

No matter how "surprising" Li Wei's offensive strategy against the Normandy region was, the war had already broken out and it hit Caen, the capital city of the Normandy region, these provincial coalition soldiers who initially thought they were just here to receive living expenses through military training could only bite the bullet and fight to the death.

The political status of Caen to the Normandy region is similar to that of Paris to the entire French region.

Once the city of Caen falls, the resistance in the Normandy region will immediately drop by half!

If it weren't for the Paris government behind it that represented the orthodox support, perhaps the people in the Normandy region would have directly admitted defeat and surrendered to the new conquerors.

After all, for the lower class, who is the boss and cannot collect taxes?

Those who should pay the rent must be called rent. Those who should work hard for a day cannot be miners!

Faced with more and more gun volleys, the guard infantry paid a considerable price at the beginning. It can be said that almost all the casualties of the guard infantry attacked the first chest defense line were thrown here!
Chapter completed!
