Napoleon II Reborn

Chapter 264: Restoration of the Bourbons

(Chapter 1 arrives, there will be chapter 1 later)

After the convening of the Paris Peace Conference, it had a huge impact on Europe and the world. First of all, the war that lasted for more than half a year is finally over, and the common people no longer have to worry about being affected by the flames of war. Countless soldiers can finally breathe a sigh of relief, because they are very lucky to have finally survived this tragic war and survived. Secondly, all the countries participating in the war lost a lot of national strength in the war, and they must start to cultivate and build up their strengths. Peace finally came to Europe again. Again, the political situation in Europe has also undergone earth-shaking changes. With the support of several powerful countries, the Rhineland League was split into three relatively powerful countries: the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of Saxony and the Kingdom of Thuringia. The Dutch royal family also ended their exile in Europe, returned to Amsterdam, and resumed their rule over the Netherlands. The Bourbon royal family also returned to Paris, making the Kingdom of France successfully restored. The last point is that Europe is completely split into two camps, one is Iberia led by Xiao Jie, including the entire Iberian Peninsula and south-central France. The other is other European countries except Iberia and Northern Europe. They have formed a new alliance and will continue to fight against the Bonaparte family until the end of the Bonaparte family's rule in Europe.

"Your Majesty, preparations are underway for the celebration, but I'm afraid it's too late." Talleyrand reported to Louis XVIII. Since the Kingdom of France was under preparation, they couldn't find so many officials for a while, so Talleyrand was appointed by Louis XVIII to take full charge of the preparations for the celebration.

"Well, you just need to seize the time." Louis XVIII replied with a gloomy expression. He is in a very bad mood now, and these are all caused by Xiao Jie. Xiao Jie's words about establishing the French Empire made Louis XVIII very angry.

"The ministers of various countries have already left Paris one after another. Only those monarchs stayed. We sent special personnel to guide them to various tourist attractions in Paris." Talleyrand continued to report.

"We must take good care of those monarchs. I hope that before they attend the restoration ceremony, they will not be dissatisfied." Louis XVIII said. Without the support of those countries, I believe he would not have the opportunity to sit here now, so he must serve those monarchs comfortably.

Talleyrand nodded, he also knew the importance of the matter.

"Marshal Marmont, how is the formation of my army?" Louis XVIII asked. On the day the peace talks ended, he asked Marmont to start building an army, a huge army. But later, considering financial problems, the number had to be reduced to 100,000. Anyway, now that he is protected by the army of the Anti-French Alliance, he doesn't need to form so many troops now.

"Your Majesty, the formation of the army is not going well. Now we have recruited less than 50,000 people. Due to successive years of wars, the number of soldiers in France has been greatly reduced, which has brought great difficulties to our recruitment work." Mal Meng Gong replied. Since being captured by the Anti-French Alliance, when Louis XVIII returned to Paris, he was the first to join Louis XVIII. With his merits and abilities during the Napoleon period, he was very easy to get Appreciated by Louis XVIII, he was appointed Minister of War of the Kingdom of France, responsible for forming the army of the Kingdom.

"I don't care what method you use. After three months, I must have a strong army of 100,000 people." Louis XVIII said in a deep voice.

"Okay, Your Majesty. I will do my best." Although Marmont knew it would be difficult to complete, he still had to bite the bullet and agree.

"Is there any movement in Iberia at present?" Louis XVIII calmed down and asked.

"The 1st Iberian Army has begun to retreat to the south, but the enemy's 88th Army is still deploying defenses along the Loire River, putting a lot of pressure on us. In addition, Andresi is still staying in Orleans and has not returned. Madrid. Another situation is that a large amount of military supplies are constantly being transported from Iberia to the Loire River, and the Iraqi army is likely to be preparing for a new offensive." Marmont replied. Since the country is still in the preparation stage, the intelligence system is also very chaotic, making it impossible for him to get accurate information.

"Where is the army of the Anti-French Coalition?" asked Louis XVIII. Although he didn't want to entrust his safety to others to protect him, there was no other way.

"All the military forces have already withdrawn from France, leaving only 200,000 troops, and they are mainly deployed on the front lines in central France." Marmont replied.

"Can we ask the Anti-French Alliance to station more troops in France?" Louis XVIII asked after thinking about it. He was very uncertain about whether the 200,000 anti-French coalition forces would be the opponent of the Iberian army.

"Your Majesty, our finances are no longer sustainable. Just being responsible for supplying 200,000 coalition troops is already quite difficult. If it increases..." Marmont said worriedly.

Louis XVIII had to give up.

The restoration ceremony of the Kingdom of France has been in preparation. On September 28th, the day of the Restoration Ceremony finally arrived.

In the morning, with the help of his attendants, Louis XVIII put on the luxurious king's dress on his fat body, and then left the palace under the protection of the royal guards to start the celebration of the day.

Due to the rush of time, the arrangements for the celebration activities were relatively simple. First, Louis XVIII delivered a speech to his people in the square outside the Royal Palace, and then the salute began, a total of 108 rounds. Next is the parade. Louis XVIII paraded through the main streets of Paris in a carriage under the protection of the Royal Guard. Behind him were the monarchs of various countries who came to participate in the celebration, and behind him were the ministers of the kingdom. After the parade, it was time for the banquet. Louis XVIII and the sovereigns of various countries, as well as ministers of state, nobles and socialites had the honor to attend. All of Paris is buzzing.

"Paris must be extremely lively today!" Xiao Jie said while standing on the city wall of Orleans, looking to the north. Beside him stood Dugoek and the other two.

"Let them be happy for a while, before long they should cry." Dougal said bitterly.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Ike, has the main force of the anti-French coalition withdrawn from France? How is our preparation going?" Xiao Jie asked.

"Since September 15th, the troops of the Anti-French Coalition have been withdrawing from France one after another. The British army has crossed the sea and returned on the 23rd, and the Prussian army has also returned to Berlin on the 27th. The Austrian army may take two days to return to the country. Russia The army will have to spend more time. But they left 200,000 elites, obviously to guard against us. Our military supplies are continuously being shipped from Iberia. The soldiers are also resting. But if even If we are about to go to war now, we are fully capable of dealing with it." Eck replied.

"200,000 elites? I'm sure, before the war started, they never even touched a gun. The real elites died on the battlefield long ago. Dougal, does the 88th Army have the confidence to take the 200,000 so-called Get rid of all the 'elites'." Xiao Jie asked with a smile. Although he is still the head of the 88th Legion, the affairs of the legion have actually been handed over to Dugor. He is only the head of the 88th Legion in name.

"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness. As long as there is a war, I am confident that they will all be driven out of France within two weeks." Dugor assured, not paying attention to the 200,000 troops.

"How is the preparation of the 89th Legion? Have you started training?" Xiao Jian asked.

"All the soldiers have been recruited 3 days ago, and training has begun. Weapons and other weapons have also been distributed. Since the 89th Army does not train according to the standards of the 88th Army, it will be able to initially form combat effectiveness after 4 months. ’” Eck replied. Now Iberia's military strength is still not enough, and the 89th Army has only more than 600,000 people, but what they have to face is the whole of Europe.

"That's good~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ After waiting for a month, all ** teams have returned, and it's time for us to start attacking." Xiao Jie said with a smile. He didn't pay attention to the 200,000 troops left by the Anti-French Alliance in France at all. The 88th Army should be able to deal with them soon. It is also impossible for the anti-French alliance to rescue France, they cannot send troops to France in a short time. In addition, after a major war, I believe they do not have enough strength to immediately engage in a new war. The exception is Britain. In the last war, although Britain also suffered a lot of losses, it has not yet reached the point of being injured. However, Xiao Jie was not worried about the British intervention, because if only the British intervened, it would definitely not be Iberia's opponent, and other countries simply did not have the ability to intervene. In addition, the Iberian navy is not there to look good. They have been holding back for several months, and I believe they are enough for the UK to drink a pot.

Similarly, the occupation of central and southern France does not reveal how much Iberia's strength has increased. France, which was "damaged" by Napoleon, now has to ask Xiao Jie to provide a lot of financial and material resources to maintain it, otherwise it may cause turmoil. In addition, under Xiao Jie's arrangement, the Iberian government has also made a large amount of infrastructure investment in central and southern France, and a large number of Iberian businessmen have also set their sights on this place. I believe it won't be long before Xiao Jie will be able to benefit from this, and by that time, Iberia's strength will be truly strengthened.
