Napoleon II Reborn Chapter 75

(Please continue to vote for Xiaoyu, thank you!)

"Well, since you are so sure that you can train the 88th Army to become the most elite army, let's find a time to conduct an exercise. The time is set in one month. As for the opponent who will conduct the exercise with the 88th Army, I will Look at the Imperial Guard, everyone has about the same number, so it seems fairer." Napoleon suggested. He wanted to give a good blow to Xiao Jie's arrogance, and let him know that the real elite army is not blown out by mouth. And his Imperial Guard, as the most powerful force in France, is obviously capable of this task.

Hearing Napoleon's proposal, Xiao Jie began to complain in his heart: "Isn't fighting the Imperial Guard purely looking for death?" You must know that the Imperial Guard is a unit composed of all wounded on the battlefield after treatment and recovery. The combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and they are not afraid of death. Although there are only 5,000 people, their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of a legion. If the 88th Army were to fight against such a powerful army in a month's time, would they have a chance of winning? Although the 88th Legion has 6,000 people, it is 1,000 more than the Imperial Guard. The soldiers of the 88th Legion are also all elites drawn from various legions, but compared with the Imperial Guard, the gap is really not the slightest bit. The reason why Xiao Jie dared to boast that he wanted to train the 88th Army to become the most elite army in the empire was because he relied on his brand-new tactics and weapons that were completely beyond the times.

But if the exercise is performed one month later, then first of all, his legion has only undergone a month of training, so it is not much different from other legions at all. Second, and most importantly, a month's time allowed his soldiers to equip at most two grenades each, and perhaps a few mortars. And other heavy machine guns, field artillery and the like. It is estimated that it is still lying in the research institute, maybe it is just a pile of scrap iron. You must know that although there are not many imperial guards, their equipment is the best among all the armies of the empire. Although they only had more than 5,000 people, Napoleon equipped them with an artillery unit equipped with 100 cannons in an extremely extravagant manner. Those cannons alone can tear the 88th Army, which still lacks heavy weapons, to pieces.

In this case, you are exercising with the Imperial Guard. Isn't that using your own strengths to attack the enemy's strengths? So Xiao Jie made up his mind that he would not agree with Napoleon's proposal. "Uncle, this? My 88th Legion is just a newly formed legion, and its combat effectiveness has not yet formed, so I cannot agree to your proposal." Xiao Jie refused.

"Oh, how is that possible? As far as I know, those soldiers of yours are the elite directly drawn from other legions. How could they not have formed combat effectiveness? Even if you change to a new environment, you need to adjust the army for a period of time, but One month is far enough." Napoleon continued to insist.

"No, my legion doesn't even have a lot of weapons and equipment. After they arrive, it will take time for my soldiers to get familiar with their weapons, so one month is not enough." Xiao Jie also continued own point of view.

"The equipment is not ready yet? It's easy to handle. I asked the Guards to transfer a batch of equipment directly to lend you to use. It's not going to save you. You can return it to them after the exercise is over. Or you can just buy it, anyway. The boy has a lot of money."

"It still doesn't work. My legion is trained according to the new-style drill code I wrote. It must be used in conjunction with the new-style weapons to exert its maximum combat effectiveness. And many of those new-style weapons are still in the research institute. A month's time is simply not enough It's not enough, so I can't agree to your proposal. Even if you want to carry out the exercise, you have to get all the equipment of my army.” Xiao Jie made the last effort.

"How long will it take for all your new equipment to arrive?" Napoleon asked. Someone had already reported to him that Xiao Jie's research institute was conducting research on new weapons, but this kid was quite sensible, and he knew that the improved 1806 rifle would be handed over to the Marseille Arms Company, which he held half of the shares in, for production. He took away half of the profits due to technical reasons, but still a quarter of the profits went into Napoleon's pockets. This was almost a lot of money for nothing, so he still Very satisfied. In addition, according to the report, the newly developed grenade is very powerful and is used by individual soldiers. If it is really good, all the troops can be equipped with this weapon. The other mortars seem to be quite good, and they can also be considered. As for other weapons that have not yet been developed, I don't know for the time being.

"I don't know either. You know that too. It takes a lot of time for a new weapon to be invented and put into use." Xiao Jie explained with a bitter face.

"That can't be done. If your new weapons can't be developed all the time, won't the drills never go on? That's absolutely not possible." Napoleon directly rejected Xiao Jie's idea of ​​muddling through.

"Theoretically so. But I think half a year should be enough." Xiao Jie looked at Napoleon's face and finally said.

Napoleon thought for a while, half a year is not very long. Seeing Xiao Jie seemed very confident, he thought: Could he really defeat the Imperial Guard with the so-called new weapon?

At the same time, Xiao Jie was also thinking: the Maxim heavy machine gun and the 75mm field gun should be able to be developed in half a year~www.mtlnovel.com~ By then, the entire army will have hundreds of 75mm field guns, and the power will definitely be huge. Much more powerful than those cannons of this era. With the addition of hundreds of heavy machine guns and mortars, not to mention the Imperial Guard, even the Guards Corps, if you only defend but not attack, you can guarantee that you will not fail.

"Half a year is too long, let's say three months." Napoleon probed.

"No, at least half a year." Xiao Jie replied firmly. "In half a year, my 88th Legion will fight against the headquarter of the Imperial Guard and Guard Legion at the same time." Xiao Jie finally said.

Napoleon did not expect that Xiao Jie would be so arrogant, using a legion of only 6,000 people to fight against the two most powerful legions of the empire at the same time. So he deliberately wanted to give Xiao Jie some hardships, so he agreed to Xiao Jie's request.

"However, I have one condition, that is, my 88th Legion's main defense, the Imperial Guard and the Guards, if they don't capture the 88th Legion's position within the stipulated time, then they will lose. "Xiao Jie put forward his opinion, of course he wants to get the best conditions for himself. If there is an encounter with the opponent, in the case of several times the number of people, no matter how good the weapon is, it will not be of much use.

Napoleon thought that the combined number of the Imperial Guard and the Guards Corps was more than six times that of the 88th Army. If the 88th Army's position cannot be captured, then I am afraid that their title of elite army should be handed over to others. So I agreed to Xiao Jie's proposal~www.mtlnovel.com~Welcome all book lovers to come and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all here~www.mtlnovel.com~
