163 Anti-French Coalition

More than a month after the execution of the French king Louis XVI and his queen, the Kingdom of Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Sardinia joined the covenant between the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, and officially announced the establishment of the anti-French alliance!

After the establishment of the Anti-French Alliance, in just one month, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal gathered more than 10,000 regular troops, as well as a considerable number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians to serve the army.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Spain is still mobilizing its troops, and it has a good appetite to cut off a piece of land from the French Republic.

The Kingdom of Sardinia successfully attracted a large number of allies among many countries in the Italian region. With the support of continental powers, many Italian countries, including Naples, the "powerful country" on the Italian peninsula, soon joined the anti-French alliance.

However, at this time, the Italian countries were fragmented and messy, with small countries and few people, so it was impossible to send many armies. Most Italian countries were in the stage of waving flags and cheering. Only the powerful countries in the Italian region such as Naples sent a small number of troops, led by the Kingdom of Sardinia, forming the Italian coalition.

The Italian coalition launched an attack from southeastern France, and its troops pointed directly at the Alps of the French Republic!

The remaining countries, except Britain, gathered in northwest France, with the first strategic goal of competing for the Austrian Netherlands, and Fatis became their primary target of offensive...

Fatis is now a famous general under the Paris Revolutionary Government, both in the eyes of the French people and in the strategic planning of foreign forces, and he has a lot of troops at all.

In addition, after defeating the main Austrian force in the Austrian Netherlands and invading most of the Austrian Netherlands, Fatis immediately implemented military control in the occupied areas of the Austrian Netherlands, carrying out compulsory food and grass collection, and often sent troops to the countryside to "collect grain".

The people of the Netherlands were poisoned by Fatis, and countless innocent farmers turned into corpses during the process of collecting grain in Fatis' troops...

In addition, in order to enhance his personal prestige in the newly reorganized army, Fatis constantly arrested illegal women and girls from the Austrian Netherlands, imitated the Jiaofangsi in the Li Wei regime, and established a relatively simple military-accompanied women's camp.

It is natural that Fatis could not establish a well-organized Jiaofangsi. This military women's camp is a place for officers and soldiers to vent.

Among them, the beautiful girls were identified separately for the officers to enjoy, and the women and girls with average appearance were all locked up in the camp for soldiers who were on duty. According to the time limit, each unit had the opportunity to use shifts.

Fatis dared not let go of the restrictions because he knew very well how powerful the big-headed soldiers who hadn't returned home for a long time were.

Once he relaxes the restrictions, these precious resources of women may be played into corpses by them... How wasteful that is!

Since all Fatis's actions were within the enemy's territory, Fatis's army was mainly composed of French people, without any guilt when he did all kinds of evil deeds, and even made Fatis's reputation rise sharply.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the former Northern Army were grateful to Fatis. If Fatis had not led them to victory, they would not have enjoyed such a life at all.

After all, the French who joined the army had poor family conditions, and women were "luxury" to them, let alone changing women to sleep in different ways!

Throughout history, the reason why generals who went out to fight like to indulge soldiers to capture women from enemy territory for fun is that this method is a very cheap way to increase morale and win over the morale of the army.

It's much cheaper than giving money and food!

The most important thing is that women can use resources repeatedly, as long as they don’t die at one turn, it is enough.

While Fatis used the disaster to the Austrian Netherlands to gather morale and make up for the morale losses caused by the large number of casualties in his previous command operations, he sent people to report his achievements to the Paris Revolutionary Government and demanded the restoration of the Northern Army!

The Paris Revolutionary Government saw that Fatis was living a good life in foreign territory, which involved many of the main forces of the Pu'Austrian coalition forces, and made the Netherlands unable to rush into France. Naturally, Fatis was happy to stand there as a shield.

The main role of the British in the anti-French alliance is to use fleets to transport supplies to allies, control maritime power, and find good opportunities to land on the French Republic.

Then the British discovered that the northern and western coastal areas of France were occupied by the army of the Kingdom of New France!

A large army landing does not mean that you can just find a coastline. In this era of limited shipping capacity, it has high requirements for landing terrain and ports.

Otherwise, even if the troops are sent to land without a steady stream of sufficient supplies, they will sooner or later be driven into the sea...

After all, many coastal terrain of this era cannot unload cargo supplies in large quantities, and the supplies cannot land in shallow land like soldiers!

Therefore, if you want to obtain a stable landing point, it is best to choose a port location or a natural deep-water harbor. These suitable lands are naturally the focus of defense on the local coastline of France.

Without a suitable landing site, you cannot send a large corps in a short time. As long as the coastline defenders are not blind, deaf, and fools, the landing troops will sooner or later face more and more enemy troops coming and will eventually be driven out of the ocean.

The London government naturally did not want to log in on Levi's territory because Levi's asking price was too high!

And don't care about the meal!

In short, it's just crying poor!

In addition, the London government's support for the Levi regime has always been half-warm, and it is even more unwilling to accept the various "unreasonable" demands put forward by Levi and watch Levi grow stronger.

Of course, there is another very important point. The London government believes that landing on Levi's territory is not very strategic. Anyway, it is not the territory of the French Revolutionary Government. After the British army landed, they had to travel through a large area of ​​occupied areas of the New France Kingdom to obtain the enemy...

Instead of this, it is better to choose a good port in the southern part of the French Republic to land in the Mediterranean. The Kingdom of New France is just about to attack southern France, which can attract a large number of revolutionary troops to save the country.

So the London government was not in a hurry at all, waiting for Li Wei to fight against the French Revolutionary Government, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.
