Chapter 240: The British Want to Mediate?

It should be said that the French emperor Napoleon III still has a certain level, but sometimes he can't remember, such as this Vietnam, no way, this emperor likes to attack everywhere, and then the place is fished out and left, no matter what is obtained, or not at all.

Strange is strange after all, but he doesn't know it, and now he has a loyal general, General Bazin, who has a plan, which is good, very good.

"ι™›xiΓ ! The minister is willing to lead the army to the battle! Shame on you! "Bazin sees that his plan has been approved by the emperor, so why not seize the opportunity?

"This ......" But Napoleon III was a little hesitant, you know, this Bazin you have just fought a defeated battle!

"Woo woo woo ......" Unexpectedly, this guy Bazin cried, "Your Majesty! The war in Mexico is actually mainly due to the unclear command, plus the fact that Clint . Lee likes to do new tricks, otherwise there would not be such a fiasco. And this time, I Bazin has absolute confidence to take Vietnam, and then bite a big piece of meat in the Qing country......"

I have to say that Bazin's crying still worked, and this guy crawled over and kissed Napoleon III's feet!

This one...... In fact, the Pope has a kind of 'foot kissing ceremony', but it seems that the one can take off his shoes and wash them, but now...... Forget it, Bazin has been heavy all the way anyway.

"......" But Napoleon III was still a little hesitant, but at this time, someone spoke.

"Your Majesty, let General Bazin go, I believe him." It was Con Robert who spoke, the old marshal was a little tired of watching, what did the emperor and the general do?

In fact. Conrobel has more important things to say. So. Well, you couple will end up quickly.

"Okay, then follow the marshal's wishes." Napoleon III finally made up his mind.

"ALL-HAIL......" Na Bazin was so excited that he directly made out a sentence in English, and halfway through, he realized that this didn't seem right.

Although, this slogan is pronounced. What does it mean, it's almost the same in various European countries, for example, German is HEIL, it's just one letter away, and the pronunciation is basically the same, but it's also English, obviously, Bazin is used to shouting when he was in Mexico, no way, you have to dress up.

"Oh. Haha, General Bazin is tired. Your Majesty, Lao Chen has an important military situation here. Conrobert was confused when he heard this, but forget it, it was nothing, so he helped Bazin out of the siege.

"Okay, general, you better go and rest for a few days, and then plan the expedition to Vietnam and the Qing Kingdom." Napoleon III didn't feel anything either.

Yes, he hadn't heard who this slogan was shouting, and if he knew, he might have to smash his aluminum plate again......

"Thank you! May the Lord bless you...... "What a clever wit Nabazan was, he slipped away first."

So, what exactly is Conrobel's important military intelligence?

"Your Majesty, the latest intelligence reality, in the northeastern part of Mexico, that is, on the border of Chihuahua Province, the army of the United States of America has not been able to break through the local Mexican area, oh, the defense line of the American Imperial Army......"

It turned out that it was about Mexico, but of course, this time it had something to do with the Americans.

In fact, it is the 50,000 expeditionary force sent by the United States, and the 50,000 troops are also good, after all, they are General Grant's subordinates, you know, Grant is now the most outstanding military general in the United States, at least he hasn't lost much now...... Well, the American people have forgotten about calling him 'unconditional surrender' Grant.

But these 50,000 people, after arriving in Texas, naturally rushed to El Paso, where they naturally encountered the Second Army of the American Empire, that is, the more than 10,000 people led by Mai Li.

Of course, at that time, more than 10,000 people were not all in Del Note on the other side of El Paso, so the army of 50,000 people naturally pushed over, not to mention the heavy casualties, but this is also a victory.

But then, however, the U.S. military's movements became very slow, and there was no way to do it, because it was really difficult for them to move forward.

If you look at the local map, the plains near Del Note are good, but to the west are mountains, and there are two openings into Mexico, one southwest and one south.

The southwest direction, that is, the northern group of the empire, that is, the road where Song Yulong and they came, and the south, is the road where Song Yulong and they retreated to fight guerrillas, just two roads, and these two roads are still sandwiched by mountains!

In other words, the reason why the U.S. military can't move is because the troops of the American Empire have built a lot of fortifications relying on the mountains, and the U.S. military really can't defeat them.

Originally, there was a gap with the Imperial Army in terms of weapons, and then the terrain was extremely favorable, and the small mouth in the southwest was blocked by sending a regiment, and there were lofty mountains on both sides of the south, unless your American army dismantled it and came up to fight guerrillas...... Obviously, this is impossible, and the US military does not have the genes of guerrilla warfare.

Roger who led the U.S. troops. General Sherman simply ordered his troops to retreat and build a defensive line at Del Noth, that is, a trench!

The small plain of Del NΓ΄te was almost twenty kilometers from the mountains, and after the construction of the trenches, there was a buffer zone of about seven or eight kilometers between the American army and the Imperial army.

The cannon can't reach, the range is not enough, and this is a trench, and there is no good way to break through the trench this year.

Li Mengyang's instructions were, Del Not, anyway, it doesn't matter the overall situation, everyone just confronts each other there, and ah, you can just take advantage of this situation to train the team, such as sending some recruits and letting them get in, that is, the empire has also built some traffic trenches to go over, leave in, and then shoot!

This trick is the 'cold gun and cold gun' movement during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, let's also clone it, train the team, and train the team.

Dead and wounded or something, this is really not easy to calculate, anyway, the information obtained from the French side is not very detailed, after all, the current news transmission is too difficult, and the connection between the New World and Europe is too weak.

But however, the situation of confrontation is formed, so this time...... Will they just keep confronting each other?

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is not a good way to continue the confrontation like this, and the United States side will not achieve their goal. For now, it seems that the war in the Americas has entered a stalemate phase. Remember Robert. Lee? He's now back in Richmond, and apparently he didn't make much progress on his trip to Pennsylvania. ”

"Oh......" Napoleon III listened quietly.

Speaking of Robert. Lee, this is also very interesting, that is, General Lee invaded Pennsylvania for the third time with his troops, and what he wanted was to end the whole war quickly, but he encountered a trench!

It can be said that the current American Civil War has entered the period of trench warfare, or rather, the current generals seem to have understood that to fight a war, you have to engage in trenches, and it depends on who digs the trenches well.

With the current weapons and tactical tactics, there is really no way to take the trench, so ......

"Clint. This guy Lee is definitely a demon! ”

"That's right! It was he who invented such a scoundrel way of fighting! ”

"That's right! This is too ungentlemanly, the trench thing, so that our soldiers lose their original heroic character! ”

Newspapers in the United States, both in the North and the South, are now scolding Clint every day. Lee, the emperor of the American Empire, on the one hand, because he was the emperor of the empire, and on the other hand, because of the trenches, was Clint . Lee invented it!

You know, before, when the trench appeared on the battlefield of the civil war, everyone thought that this thing was good, very good, and let the generals achieve brilliant results, but soon everyone found out that this trench also made the war less intense!

To put it bluntly, no one is stupid, and a trench was dug on the opposite side, so I still rushed over? Isn't that a death sentence?

Therefore, the current war has become a state of confrontation, that is, you dig trenches, I also dig, everyone is just facing each other, no one can attack it.

So when will this civil war end?

So, this black cauldron is to make the war longer, this pot you Clint. Lee has to be on his back, he must be on his back!

But there are also a lot of military studies that they have studied on Clint. Lee admired it, and they all said that Clint. The trench invented by Li is simply one of the most important events in the history of human warfare, changing the appearance of war!

Robert. Li encountered the trenches, but in Pennsylvania he still made an effort, it can be said that he rushed left and right, but the effect was not good, it was okay, General Li was long-minded, he did not stud, most of them were tentative attacks. And now that he saw that there was no way, he really couldn't deal with the trenches, so simply, his troops grabbed a lot of things and went back.

The current American Civil War is completely stalemate, and both the North and the South are digging trenches on American soil, one by one, like moles......

So, why is Conrobell saying this?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, the British will not be able to sit still, they will probably take advantage of such a form, and then be a mediator, mediate...... The United States of America and the American Empire! ”

"Huh?" Napoleon III sensed the freshness, "Why not reconcile the north and south of the United States?" ”

"I think there should be mediation, but it should be mainly for the United States and the Empire...... Actually, I heard from an English friend that they were going to hold a conference in London to talk about the Americas, and they were likely to invite envoys from several countries to come. ”

"Oh......" Napoleon III's eyes narrowed, "then surely we are indispensable, right?" ”

"Your Majesty!"

How did the British get involved? (To be continued......)

PS: Without further ado, thank you very much! What's that, it seems to be a little stuck recently, and it took a long time for the black car to do a good job, thank you for your support! Thanks a lot!
