Make France Great Again

Chapter 898: Military reform first leads to military reform later

Jérôme Bonaparte's refutation made Minister Vaillant not sure how to refute for a while.

If it is denied that Britain's queuing to kill tactics are on the same level as France's current tactical system, then Vayan must deny the gold content of the Russian Imperial Army.

In this case, the value of the Crimean War will be greatly reduced.

If it is admitted that Britain's queuing to kill is on the same level as France's current tactical system, the gold content of the Russian Empire has indeed increased, but the gold content of the French Imperial Army has declined.

This is equivalent to denying all the efforts made by France in the past few decades.

So now Minister Wayang is in a dilemma.

After all, if His Majesty the Emperor himself had not denied the gold content of the "Crimean War" of which he was proud, then General Wayan would have been invincible.

The only person in the world who can deny the Crimean War is Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte.

Because under his leadership, the French army easily defeated the Russian army and forced them to sign a series of unequal treaties.

Not to mention Wayang, even Niel did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would make such a "sacrifice" in order to implement military reforms. It seems that the possibility of Wayang trying to block military reforms is extremely slim.

"Minister Vaillant, do you have anything to say?" Jérôme Bonaparte's calm tone reached Minister Vaillant's ears.

Minister Vaillant showed a bitter smile on his lips and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, if you insist on demanding military reform, then what else can I do besides support you!"

"Looking at what you said, you still don't agree with this tactical reform from the bottom of your heart!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Minister Vaillant.

“I don’t think such reforms can improve the combat effectiveness of our military!

"Minister Vaillant still said to Jérôme Bonaparte with a stiff neck, "The army is too scattered, which is not conducive to command! "

"Minister Wayang, you must have enough confidence in our officers!

We in France have the best officers in the world! "Jérôme Bonaparte said to Minister Vaillant confidently.

Minister Vaillant's face was still full of disbelief. He felt that Jerome Bonaparte was too optimistic about the independent initiative of French officers.

Come and try it quickly. 】

Jérôme Bonaparte, seeing that he could not convince Minister Vaillant with words, decided to take a step back, "Minister Vaillant, since none of us can convince anyone, then let the war test!"

"War?" Minister Wayang was stunned for a moment. He remembered that France did not seem to be at war.

Even the overseas province of Algeria entered a stage of peaceful development because of Jerome Bonaparte's amnesty.

"I have planned to carry out a special military operation against the Kingdom of Morocco at the beginning of next year. The relevant plans and tactical arrangements are still in the confidential stage, so I did not ask Niel to declare it to the Ministry of War!" Jérôme Bonaparte told Variety Minister Yang said.

Under the incredulous look on Minister Wayang's face, Niel smiled apologetically.

Although Minister Vaillant was slightly dissatisfied with Jérôme Bonaparte secretly preparing a war plan without telling him, the Minister of War, he still tried to say to Jérôme Bonaparte in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, we are Shouldn’t we consider the British Kingdom behind the Kingdom of Morocco!”

"Intelligence shows that India under the control of the British is preparing for a large-scale disturbance!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Minister Vaillant in a calm tone.

There was a look of shock on Minister Wayang's face. He didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor's intelligence network to have penetrated deep into India. That guy Marcel Jerug is really scary!

Thinking of this, Minister Wayang couldn't help but feel wary of the guy hiding in the darkness.

(Marcel Jerug: I’m not, I didn’t!)

"Your Majesty, in that case, why don't we give some support to those Indians!" Minister Wayan couldn't help but make suggestions to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Minister Vaillant, you really dare to think!" Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help complaining to Minister Vaillant, "Do you know that once the British discover our actions, how can we It’s easy to create an atmosphere of reconciliation, but we’re about to start a war!”

Minister Vaillant responded to Jérôme Bonaparte in embarrassment, "It was my lack of consideration!"

"Once a rebellion breaks out in India, it will be difficult for Britain to take care of the security of other places!

They must use all their strength to suppress those Indians who want to escape from their control!

In this case, our opportunity has come! Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Wayan, "When the time comes, I will let the Kingdom of Spain follow us to attack the Kingdom of Morocco!" "

"Your Majesty, why should we act together with Morocco!" Minister Wayan asked Jérôme Bonaparte in confusion.

"Because we cannot completely annex the Kingdom of Morocco. Only by bringing in the Kingdom of Spain, which has the same interests as us, can we completely occupy the Kingdom of Morocco!" Jérôme Bonaparte replied to General Vaillant, "And this military Action must be fast!

If we cannot achieve a quick victory in a short period of time, the British Kingdom will definitely choose to intervene!

When the time comes, we have to leave hastily! "

"Since this war is so critical, we still don't want to implement a new tactical system!

It’s okay to just keep using the original tactical system! Minister Vaillant replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"This is not possible!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said resolutely to Minister Vaillant: "A suitable tactical system is far more important than occupying a piece of land. War will become the most important test of army tactics. Good way!

Minister Vaillant, I can promise you not to promote new tactics in France for the time being!

We're using the Algerian military as guinea pigs to test whether new tactics can be better than what we currently have in place! "

"Okay!" Since the Emperor Jerome Bonaparte's principles, Minister Vaillant nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "If the new tactical system is really better than the tactics we currently implement , then I will personally admit my mistake to you and Chief of General Staff Niel!"

"There's no need to admit your mistake!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and said, "When the time comes, just treat Niel and I to a big meal! What do you think? Niel!"

Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to Niel, who immediately responded: "Your Majesty, I have no objection!"

"It is my honor to invite a great monarch and an excellent commander!" Minister Wayang also responded half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"By the way, Minister Vaillant! You still need to take care of the collective change of uniforms for the Algerian army!" Jérôme Bonaparte reminded Minister Vaillant, "I don't want to see our soldiers starting military operations. During the operation, we still didn’t get the new rifle!”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Minister Vaillant assured Jérôme Bonaparte: "I will definitely let all the soldiers of the Foreign Legion use new rifles within two months!"

Immediately afterwards, Chief of the General Staff Niel told Jérôme Bonaparte about his bet with Minister Vaillant.

"Minister Vaillant, are you going to test the performance of the Mauser rifle for the Algerian soldiers?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Minister Vaillant with a hint of confusion.

"Your Majesty, I think France still needs heavy armored cavalry!" Minister Vaillant said to Jerome Bonaparte: "That's why I made this bet with Niel!"

"Minister Vaillant, I guarantee that no matter whether your breastplate can protect against a rifle or not! You will always face a losing situation!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Vaillant with a firm tone.

Wayan was stunned for a moment, and then asked Jérôme Bonaparte why.

"Now that you have made a bet, you will know when the experiment starts!" Jérôme Bonaparte mysteriously said to Minister Vaillant, "By the way, you two When does the bet start?”

"Your Majesty, in three days!" Minister Vaillant responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Okay! I'll be fine in three days! Where are you going to experiment?" Jerome Bonaparte asked next.

"This... has not been decided yet!" Minister Vaillant replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"In that case, how about conducting experiments at the Norinco's shooting range?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Minister Vaillant.

"This..." After thinking for a few seconds, Minister Wayang looked at Niel and said, "I have no objection! Chief of General Staff Niel, what do you think?"

"Neither did I!" Naturally, Niel didn't have any objections.

"That's it!"

The dispute between the Minister of War and the Chief of General Staff came to an end temporarily under the mediation of Jérôme Bonaparte.

Three days passed quickly, and Minister of War Vaillant arrived at Paris-Nord Industrial Group carrying his armor that could block a Mauser rifle.

When General Vaillant and the red-faced cuirassiers arrived at the shooting range, Niel and Jérôme Bonaparte had already been waiting at the shooting range for a long time.

"Minister Vaillant, you're here!" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Vaillant with a smile, and then glanced at the cuirassier behind Vaillant, "He is wearing a special breastplate. Come on!"

"That's right!" Minister Vaillant responded to Jérôme Bonaparte, "This is the breastplate that I spent three days making!"

"Let him take it off quickly! It's very tiring to wear it!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Minister Vaillant.

Minister Wayang turned around and ordered the cuirassiers to take off their special breastplates. After hearing this, the cuirassiers quickly took off their breastplates and gasped for air.
