An Ning touched her chin and paced back and forth in the room.
To be honest, he didn't want to go back because he was familiar with the whole process in Italy.
After all, he was familiar with the history of Napoleon's wars, and Napoleon basically fought major battles in key locations in Italy, so peace and tranquility were important.
After returning, we mainly faced the direction of the Rhine. In Napoleon's history, there were very few major battles fought in this direction.
After all, the French army captured the Low Countries very early in the war with the Anti-French Alliance. When Napoleon came to power, the Netherlands was already within France's sphere of influence.
Austerlitz was certainly a big battle, but it was a battle that took place deep inside Austria.
If we really want to count, the only large-scale war Napoleon fought in this area was Waterloo.
Choosing this time to return to Paris to take charge of the defense of Paris is basically equivalent to breaking away from the guidance of Napoleon's war history and starting to go his own way.
The only thing I can rely on is the military knowledge I learned in the military academy.
As for the experience gained from playing games in the previous life, it is of no use at all.
After all, when playing games, An Ning played the Netherlands, and the trick he used to defend was "a gentleman occupying the bridge", because in the game "Total War Empire", the steward can occupy a position on the map, and a gentleman who happens to be standing on the bridge can
If the bridge can be blocked, the enemy's army will not be able to cross.
It's very grassy. With this skill, players can turn the Netherlands, a country with no barriers on land, into a country that is difficult to attack.
This kind of experience is of no use at all!
But if I don’t go back...what if Paris is lost?
In real history, when Paris was in danger, it relied on the 700,000 Republican troops mobilized by Lazar Carnot to push back.
Therefore, Lazar Carnot occupied Xiao He's position in French history and ensured the undefeated Republic. However, now that Lazar Carnot was taken away by An Ningmao, he no longer belongs to the Republic.
Then the people in Paris were busy fighting among themselves, insisting on conscription and execution of the king to anger the opposition, and France was about to break up.
Maybe they really can't stop the Prussian-Austrian coalition.
After Paris was captured, southern France was difficult to defend because it was a large plain with no danger to defend.
When France was blitzed by Santoku, Paris surrendered after getting desperate. This was because of this. When southern France faced the enemy coming from the north, there really was nothing to struggle with.
Moreover, Paris is the economic center of the entire France. Although there are a series of commercially prosperous cities in the south, it is still a little worse than Paris politically.
Losing Paris would really be difficult.
Southern France cannot be independent from the territory of the old Kingdom of Aquitaine.
Although some people in Aquitaine still joke that they are Aquitaine and not French, in fact, the national identity of the locals has long been French.
The Jacobins are now in power in Paris, and my friends in the Jacobins will definitely expect me to return to Paris.
If I really don't go back, the prestige I have accumulated throughout France in the past two years will probably be wiped out.
An Ning thinks about these.
Not only was he thinking about this, he actually had some impulses in his heart - what if, what if he could actually play well?
Why must we follow Napoleon's instructions?
What if I still have some skills?
Thinking of this, An Ning suddenly found that her hands were trembling slightly.
Don’t rely on prophetic visions such as Napoleon’s biography, rely solely on yourself to create a future!
This choice seems more attractive than imagined!
In order to prevent everyone from seeing that his hand was shaking, An Ning grabbed his trembling right hand with his left hand and forced it to stop shaking.
At this time, An Ning made a decision.
Get out of your comfort zone and create your own legend!
Now that I'm going back to Paris, I have to think about who to leave Italy to.
An Ning's first idea was to hand over Italy to Napoleon. After all, in real history, Napoleon established his foundation in Italy.
If Napoleon were left in Italy, he might be able to repeat the historical results and attack Vienna to force Austria to armistice.
But here comes the problem. In real history, before taking charge of Italy, Napoleon first obtained the rank of major general.
In this era, the highest military rank is major general, and all subsequent ranks are honorary military ranks. There is no difference between the troops that a major general can command and that of a lieutenant general. A major general can serve as the commander of a corps.
Napoleon first became a major general, and then naturally became the commander of the Italian Army.
Now Napoleon doesn't even have a brigadier general, just an artillery commander under An Ning.
Many people would be dissatisfied if he was asked to command Italian officers.
After all, An Ning himself is famous now, while Napoleon is not famous yet.
From this perspective, it is inappropriate to make Napoleon the commander of the Italian Army.
In addition, An Ning also has a little selfishness.
Now that I am ready to create my own legend, wouldn't it be inappropriate for Napoleon to discover his destiny and then decide to become emperor?
What if Napoleon achieves the same great deeds in Italy as he did in history and goes to Vienna? If he later wants to be emperor, won't it be over if I become a stumbling block?
An Ning thought for a long time and decided to take Napoleon with her.
It would be good to have Napoleon lead an army under him in the future.
On the Italian side... it turns out that we can only leave it to Davout.
Davout has military merit and his own military rank is brigadier general. When I return to Paris, I will promote him one level to major general, and then there will be no issue with his military rank.
Davout's own ability is definitely fine. Although he is not expected to fight to Vienna, there is still no problem in holding on to what he has conquered now.
Massena...don't move. He has performed very well in the direction of the Kingdom of Sardinia and should be able to fight smoothly. Let him continue to deal with General Cori of the Kingdom of Sardinia. It will not be a big problem.
That's it for Italy.
I will take Napoleon, Lannes, Lasalle and Berthier back to Paris, with a chief of staff and a strong general. I will also take Lazar Carnot to Paris and make him Minister of War.
original owner".
That's right, that's it.
When An Ning was meditating, she didn't realize that she actually enjoyed the pleasure of arranging troops and planning.
He didn't realize that while he was thinking about this, the entire command room fell silent, and everyone was waiting for his order.
Finally, An Ning raised his head and glanced at Berthier: "Bertier, I will make the following arrangements. I will order Davout to be the acting commander of the Italian Army and unified command of all affairs of the Italian Army."
Davout immediately stood at attention, head held high, like a private soldier receiving an order.
An Ning continued: "With Massena as the acting deputy commander of the Italian Army, he will uniformly command the army in the direction of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
"Napoleon, Lannes, and Lazarus immediately handed over their troops to their deputies and unified them under Davout. The above officers, together with you, Berthier, are preparing to return to Paris with me.
"By the way, Sunset Knights and Marksman Company will return to Paris with me! We will first arrive in Marseille and meet up with Lazar Cano.
