Chapter 215: Unlucky Bazin, Remember to Pull the String for the Grenade!
Compared with the French army in the south of Querétaro, the French army from Guanajuato in the north is much better, and there is no situation where there are many orders here, and it is only General Frey who is talking about here.
"Frey, my old friend, I really hope you don't despise those bastards of the American Empire, they are very eccentric." General Bazin is constantly giving General Frey yì, which is very good information.
"Of course, I've heard of it, and it seems to be a very strange weapon that can shoot many bullets in a split second. I know it all, so with such a weapon, do we have to give up the attack? ”
This question made Bazin very uncomfortable, but he really didn't want the French expeditionary force to be defeated by the American Empire in Mexico, which was a Chinese country, Chinese, what were they?
A bunch of uncivilized monkeys!
"Frey! You have to believe me, those bastards seem to have new weapons, and they're pretty good. I've seen it, their weapon should be artillery, it's just that this kind of artillery seems to be easy to carry! ”
I have to say that Bazin, a general, is still more conscientious, and he really broke his heart for the French Empire.
"Oh, so powerful?" Frey's eyes lit up, as if he was very concerned, but, "Bazin, my old friend, can you tell me exactly what this weapon looks like?" Be specific. ”
"......" Bazin was furious at this time, how could he not hear that Frey, the bastard, was sarcastic about him!
Yes, Bazin was a fast runner before, and he didn't have any contact with the troops of the American Empire. He had only listened to the brief descriptions of his own men. And those individuals. How many of those who served in the army were highly educated? Their language skills are really average, and many people even say that the god of fire has descended to earth.
"Haha......" Frey laughed in his belly, but he also knew that he couldn't overdo it, so he said, "My old friend, I really appreciate your advice." You are a loyal warrior of the Empire, however, we now face a formidable enemy. As you said, the American Empire is very powerful, and I don't have much experience right now. So be it, I'll send you a regiment, plus the two regiments you brought, and now you have three. However, I want you to open the way for our army and be the vanguard of the Empire! ”
"I ......" Bazin wanted to scold at this time, but in fact, he was also the whole Frey family in his heart. Including his grandmother's generation, his uncle's lineage. All the women greeted again!
Isn't this just for Bazin to go to the thunder? Didn't you just send him to death?
How can an old soldier like Bazin not be able to see it?
However, there is no way to do it now, Bazin's subordinates are crippled, and he has to be attached to Frey, and they had a lot of contradictions before, so to speak, now they have to endure it.
"Yes!" Bazin had no choice but to salute......
In fact, Bazin knew very well in his heart that he knew that Frey hated himself, and this matter had to start from before.
Originally, the French expedition to Mexico, the commander-in-chief was Frey, Frey's arrogant mess, but Mexico was not muddy, the French army won a series of victories at the beginning, such as the normal capture of Veracruz, but soon, they were in Puebla, an important city in central Mexico, suffered a complete blockade.
Frey couldn't help it, he couldn't beat it at all, the glorious deeds of the heroic Foreign Legion Shan Ru squad, and the last time there were only 5 people left, it happened at this time.
In fact, this was a time when the French army was relatively miserable, and not only did Mexico have a certain strength of its own, but Juárez was standing behind the Americans.
But at this time, Bazin showed his military talent as if God had touched his forehead, and he led a large army to defeat the Mexican reinforcements, and defeated San Lorenzo as if a divine soldier had fallen from heaven, and then a series of victories, such as Puebla and Mexico City, which he had great credit.
After taking Mexico City, Juarez has already run away, so the French army is equivalent to a phased victory, this expedition to Mexico, the biggest hero of the empire is General Bazin, then he is already a general, what reward should he be given?
Later, Bazin learned that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to promote him to marshal!
But it's a pity that Bazin didn't understand the meaning at that time.
It was after the victory in Mexico that Napoleon III prepared to attack the New Tang Empire in the United States, and it was obvious that the French emperor felt that it was logical for me to take down a country of Chinese, and it just so happened that you Yankees couldn't manage it, so we put you in charge.
It seems that this is indeed a matter of taking advantage, the United States really does not have the strength to manage the affairs of California, it is too far, they have to be busy fighting a civil war, and the thoughts of the French emperor are actually very normal.
However, from a military point of view, Bazin felt that attacking the American Empire at this time was not a good choice.
First of all, the new victory of the French army is indeed a good thing, but it must also be seen that the French army is very tired.
In addition, the continent of Mexico is very well developed in the east, with good seaports and cities, but in the west, it is simply a desolate primitive society!
If you want to attack the American Empire, you have to go through the west, so you have to have supplies, right? But the harbor city over there...... So where is it called a city? It's a small fishing village!
To put it bluntly, unless the empire gives greater financial support and better transportation capacity, but from the east to the west of the continent of Mexico, which is unrealistic in itself, then the local economic capacity cannot support such a large military operation, not to mention that it is only 5,000 people and a dozen ships, and they are almost about to plunder the local area, then it is possible.
So, Bazin wrote to Napoleon III and persuaded the emperor, saying that we can't do that, and the time is not yet ripe to fight the American Empire.
But how can the foxes of the Tuileries Palace listen?
Napoleon III actually sent troops to Mexico, and he also had the idea of fighting for colonies. France is very sad. On the struggle for colonies. Always pressed by the British, not to mention the old brand of Spain or something, now there is a chance to take a good place, there is silver, and there is a chance to take another good place, there is gold, can he not be tempted?
So, Napoleon III rebuked Bazin. I scolded it well.
As a result, the French army was defeated in Yuma Town, so shouldn't Bazin tremble this time? His predictions were all right.
No, Bazin was even more unlucky!
As soon as the guy saw that he was defeated, he wrote again and told Napoleon III what to do now, and the result was ......
Bazin was scolded and transferred to western Mexico!
Can you not be scolded?
His Majesty the Emperor is in a bad mood, you kid is here again, aren't you looking for death?
Yes. You're right, right. Okay, you're going to go! Death to Lao Tzu!
Bazin may be good at fighting, but he is too bad for officialdom and human sophistication, and he is still in the prime of life and very energetic.
So, what a marshal, what a thing, it's gone.
And you know, the happiest thing about this qiē is Frey, originally Bazin robbed Frey's seat, and now, the emperor is not satisfied with Bazin, so why not beat the water dogs?
I've long seen that the old boy is not pleasing to the eye, and now the old boy always emphasizes that the enemy is strong, okay, you kid will give Lao Tzu a gun in front!
Bazin understood Frey's thoughts perfectly, but now he couldn't help it, so he had to ......
"Soldiers of the Empire! We left Querétaro before, and today, we're back! Leave because of strategic necessity! And now coming back, we will get back the one we lost! ……”
Bazin shouted at his men that there was a big battle anyway, and he had to motivate his men, and if he didn't have momentum, there would be no chance at all.
"Oooo
It's not bad, Bazin is followed by his old subordinates, although the shouts are a little tragic.
"As a pioneer of all-in! Let's move forward! "Bazin rode his horse and commanded the knife with a finger!
Boom, boom...... The marching band played the famous "La Marseillaise".
It's a little good to fight in these years, at least there is musical accompaniment, I'm afraid that everyone's rhythm is inconsistent and the pace is messed up.
"Hmm~" On a hill behind the entire army, Freton Guò telescopes watched as Bazin commanded his troops to be cannon fodder.
Frey also admitted that Bazin was a good hand in the war, which was originally a defeated army, but now, his face has changed, and he is quite imposing.
So this stall gun...... I have to go with him!
Frey was smiling as he watched, but slowly, he noticed something was wrong.
This is already considered to be entering Querétaro, why is there no defense?
Yes, there was no defensive resistance!
The Bazin army walked for a while, but they didn't see anything, Querétaro is more basin here, they are equivalent to coming down from the mountain, the view can be said to be very good, but they don't see anything!
So what does this mean?
"Come on! Pass my orders, and the whole army will act! Following the advance of General Bazin, we move fast! ”
All-army operation?!
That's right, General Frey's current order is that the entire northern group of the French Expeditionary Force, close to 10,000 men, all follow Bazin's ass and rush behind!
Why?
Isn't that crazy? The big war hasn't started yet, and it's stud?
A fool wouldn't do that, would he? Could it be that Frey is crazy?
No, of course Frey wasn't crazy, and Frey wasn't stupid, and when he saw that Bazin didn't meet any resistance, he remembered something.
That is, Bazin always said that the American Empire was powerful, so how could such a powerful army be so stupid to garrison a basin, a place where there is no danger to defend?
Yes, this is unreasonable, just imagine, Bazin knew that Querétaro could not hold it, so the general of the American Empire who defeated Bazin, didn't he know this?
So, now that Bazin has not encountered any resistance, the most plausible explanation is that maybe the army of the American Empire has run away!
You know, if that's the case, then isn't Bazin's striker tantamount to capturing Querétaro?
This is a great achievement, how can such a credit be given to Bazin, an old boy?
So, Frey naturally had to order the army to move, and naturally he was going to take the credit, but just as the army moved and caught up with Bazin's advance.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
But seeing a small black dot on the head of the French army, what is this?
The French army was in a daze.
And these black dots are after they fall to the ground......
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
"The mortar is going to be a little more dense!"
"The grenade has to pull the string!"
In the jungle on the side of Mount Querétaro, there was such a voice, and the French army did not know what it meant...... (To be continued......)
