"The Ming Army's fleet! Earl, it's the Ming Army's fleet!"
After Annanard, the captain of the British ship, used his telescope to see a large number of Ming navy fleets crashing towards the Seine Bay in Normandy, he immediately ran in a panic and reported to the Vice Admiral of the Royal Navy, Earl Odoni.
Odoni was very surprised: "The Ming fleet? What are they doing in the Seine Bay?! Could it be that they actually want to bypass the defense line from the Ardennes to the Alps from the north and attack Paris directly from the Netherlands? "
After Odoni said this, he immediately picked up the telescope and saw many large chimneys emitting black smoke at the end of the sea level, and they were getting bigger and bigger in his telescope!
"That's right! It's the navy of the Ming Dynasty. With so many fleets appearing, they must be landing! Absolutely!"
As he spoke, Odoni decisively ordered Anand: "Transmit the order, set sail, and immediately go to Dunkirk, and send a signal to tell the French army on land to let them know that there is a large number of Ming fleets in the area. Coming rapidly towards Seine Bay, the posture is not like patrolling and harassing, but a large-scale landing, because in front of us we see no less than a hundred Ming army ships! Hurry!"
"As you command!"
boom!
boom!
boom!
When the rumbling signal shells sounded.
A large amount of white smoke rose over the Seine Bay, causing the French Army cavalry responsible for warning the Ming army in the Caen area to immediately learn that the Ming army had appeared.
These cavalry immediately rushed into the city of Rouen and reported the news to Count Chicozy who was guarding the city.
"how come!"
"Why did the Ming army suddenly come from the north again?"
Hickozy fell into consternation, but he did not dare to delay any longer and immediately ordered: "Rush to Paris immediately and tell Duke Philip and the others that the Ming army seems to intend to attack from the north. Please prepare a quick evacuation." Prepare."
The horsemen therefore immediately rode off to Paris.
But not long after, a large number of tanks and chariots from the Ming army arrived near the city of Rouen, and more than 100,000 troops suddenly appeared.
Hikozy even personally saw a large number of Ming army chariots and tanks whizzing past the city of Rouen. For a moment, he couldn't help but opened his mouth wide and said: "This is too fast! Even if it is discovered, it will be too late." Reaction!”
Hikozy had to order: "Send a signal flare immediately and tell the cavalry in the direction of Paris that a large-scale Ming army has appeared!"
After giving the instructions, Hikozy said helplessly: "I hope I can buy more time for Paris."
The Ming army did not attack the castles of Rouen along the way, but headed directly to the city of Paris with tanks and chariots opening the way.
Even the newly manufactured aircraft did not bomb the castles along the way. Instead, they patrolled the bridges and roads everywhere. Once they found a large-scale French army gathering and attempted to destroy the bridges and roads, they bombed them to prevent the French army from destroying the bridges. and damage to highways.
Because the most important thing in a blitzkrieg is to ensure the smooth flow of bridges and highways. After all, when large-scale mechanized troops are dispatched, what they need most is developed transportation.
"Yesterday we recaptured the Emmon Heights in the Ardennes! We once again defeated the Ming army. Our French army is an invincible army in this world. We are the only powerful Western army that can fight the Ming army! We are confident Defending our right not to bathe, the savage and greedy Easterners will lose God's favor this time, will lose their pride outside our iron walls, and will have to start respecting our opponent!"
Paris at this time.
Major newspapers and periodicals are still serializing that the European Grand Allied Forces, with the French army as the main force, has been engaged in positional battles with the Ming army outside the Ardennes defense line for nearly a year. Celebrating regaining lost ground.
Even inspired by such a victory, some newspapers began to describe the Ming army in a rather proud and contemptuous tone, and some even advocated that France formally declare war on the Ming Dynasty, instead of just placing itself in the position of self-defense.
Philip and other European nobles also relaxed their vigilance because of these victories and began to hold various dances.
Therefore, when many French cavalry came to Paris and handed Philip the urgent battle report from the north, Philip, who still had the scent of the dancer in his hand, was surprised and said:
"Cunning Ming Army! It's really abominable. Sure enough, they are playing this true and false game again. Fortunately, we are well prepared to prevent them from appearing from the north at any time."
Philip was relatively calm at this time, because he and his generals did expect that the Ming army would engage in this kind of strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west. After all, the Ming army had done it a lot before.
Therefore, Philip immediately ordered: "Let General Pruss and the 100,000 Allied troops under his command who have been preparing to go north immediately go north as planned! Let them use their own flesh and blood to block the Ming army's attack and win the opportunity for the Paris retreat. !”
With that said, Philip ordered: "Ask Pierre to immediately make preparations for the evacuation of Paris as planned, and notify the representatives of the Grand Alliance countries in Paris."
Soon, Prussia and Monmouth also learned the news that the Ming army was coming to Greece from the north in large numbers.
Monmouth couldn't help but said: "Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, otherwise, we wouldn't even have a chance to evacuate Paris in time."
"Yes! When we retreat into the Alps, the Ming army will completely lose this opportunity to make a large roundabout attack on my rear, and they can only continue to fight for positions with us!"
Prussia nodded and said confidently.
Next, Pruss really began to lead an army of 100,000 allies northward on Philip's orders.
Local newspapers in Paris also reported the matter actively.
"The wise and heroic General Prussia has taken a hundred thousand allies to the north. Although the Ming army has always been cunning, this time, these cunning fox-like Easterners will find that we Westerners are no more stupid than them, especially My great French nation will let them see our courage to defend our homeland to the death!”
"God will bless France. Even if the demonic Orientals capture our Paris, we will be able to regain our land in the future!"
"We believe this is not our last day in our hometown!"
Obviously, the content reported by major newspapers and periodicals still shows sufficient confidence and confidence.
But at this time, Philip was not so confident anymore, because he received the latest news shortly after issuing the order.
The Ming army has actually appeared in Rouen on a large scale!
"No less than 100,000 Ming troops appeared in the city of Rouen, how come it so fast? Did they fly over?! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Philip looked at the knight who came to report the news in shock and murmured.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
But at this time, a lot of high-frequency noise suddenly came from the sky above the Palace of Versailles, which was very harsh.
"Big Bird!"
"The big iron bird!"
"Oh my god! What kind of bird is this!"
The guards at Versailles were already exclaiming.
For them, airplanes are still a magical thing that they have never seen before.
"This is an airplane, a flying machine of the Orientals. When I was studying in the Ming Dynasty, this flying machine was only an idea in local scientific research articles. At most, I only drew a rough diagram, but I didn't expect that they had already invented it. Come out! This must be news that the Ming army is about to attack in a large scale."
Philip looked over Versailles and said with a trembling voice.
During the Louis XIV period, he went to study in Ming Dynasty, and he did have some understanding of some new things that appeared in Ming Dynasty.
But because of this, he felt very uneasy and ordered: "Immediately send a message to General Prussia and ask him to bring the army back to prepare for the great retreat in Paris and block the upcoming Ming army for a period of time. Quickly !”
After receiving Philip's order, Philip's personal cavalry pursued Prussia's army non-stop.
Because Prussia and his army were actively trying to block the Ming army in the north, they did not dare to stop along the way. They had now crossed the Somme River, and they were not sent to deliver new orders until several days after crossing the Somme River. Philip's cavalry caught up.
"What?! The Ming army has arrived in Versailles?"
Prussia was horrified after hearing this, and looked at Monmouth: "How is this possible? It can't be so fast."
"How could Duke Philippe lie, general! According to news from Rouen, the Ming army used a large number of iron chariots. When the guy started driving, he seemed to be in an uninhabited land and could not rest for a moment! So much so that, We simply don’t have time to respond! Now we can only count on the general to lead his army back immediately to block the Ming army’s iron flow and buy time for the Paris retreat.”
The cavalry sent by Philip replied.
"Please tell the Duke that we will go back immediately!"
But after the cavalry sent by Philip left, Monmouth suddenly stopped Prussia: "General Prussia, do you think it is necessary to go back now? With the speed of the Ming army, you will be annihilated if you go back." , it has no meaning in preventing the destruction of France!"
"But there is still my king of France and a lot of wealth there. There is no way I won't go back!"
Prussia replied.
"Is it important that these can have France's remaining 100,000 fresh troops?!"
"The Ming army did this and used some of their tanks to suddenly move to the rear. The purpose was naturally not as simple as destroying France, but to wipe out all the last remaining forces of the European Grand Alliance so that the Grand Alliance would have no chance in the future. Then rely on the mountains in the Alps to counterattack."
"In this case, why should we fall into their trap and take the initiative to deliver these 100,000 fresh troops to the Ming army? Why should we continue to withdraw while the Ming army, both the naval fleet and the army infantry, are heading towards Paris? If you have the opportunity to gather, rush to Dunkirk immediately, and evacuate to England immediately from there, I will send our fleet to meet you there!"
Monmouth said at this time.
He knew that his small island country in England was going to stop the expansion of the Ming army. It was not enough to rely on its own domestic troops. At this time, it was better to encourage Prussia to give up its king and capital and withdraw with one hundred thousand troops. of England, and help England defend its country.
Prussia fell into a state of hesitation after hearing this.
"I, Monmouth, would like to promise you on behalf of England that I will help you restore France in the future. Please ask the general and his army to withdraw to England as soon as possible!"
Monmouth continued the initiative.
"How could I give up the king and the capital so easily."
Prussia continued.
"General, please rest assured that everyone will understand your behavior at this moment. We in England will also try our best to explain to the general and praise the general for taking the overall situation into consideration!"
"In addition, the general should understand that the French mainland is obviously undefendable now, but France still has colonies in the Americas. After the king and capital are gone, the general is still needed to rebuild France there. We are willing to see the general become the new French monarch. And then prepare for the future restoration of the country!"
Monmouth said.
Pruss heard Monmouth say that he could become the new monarch after the king and the capital were captured, so he nodded: "Okay, evacuate to Dunkirk!"
As a result, Prussia changed his mind, abandoned his king and capital, and the European nobles in Paris, and resolutely continued northward.
Monmouth also actively used his special communication method with the British fleet to contact the Royal Navy of England, so that he could cooperate with him and Prussia's 200,000 French troops to withdraw from England.
"Where are Prussia's reinforcements? Didn't you say that he received the order and said he would retreat as soon as possible?"
But Philip here became anxious after waiting for a long time and saw that Prussia and his 100,000 French troops had not returned. He also asked about the cavalry he sent to deliver orders to Prussia.
Philip's cavalry replied: "This is his answer, Duke!"
"What about the reinforcements?"
"Let me ask you, where are the reinforcements?!"
"Why haven't you shown up yet?"
"Look for it, look for it again!"
"Look for it quickly!"
"hateful!"
Phillip overturned the desk in front of him and gasped.
"Report! A large number of Ming troops have appeared in the direction of Evreux, no less than 100,000. They are well-equipped. They are all big iron box cars driving the way!"
At this time, another cavalry came to report the latest situation of the Ming army.
"It's too late, go back to Paris!"
As Philippe spoke, he went to the place where Louis XV lived, and on the same day, he hurriedly withdrew from Versailles to Paris.
"The devil from the east is forcing its way into Paris! Duke Philippe has taken His Majesty the King back to Paris."
At the same time, newspapers in Paris also began to rush to report the news of the Ming army's appearance in Paris.
Early the next morning, Ming army aircraft appeared over the city of Paris, and ground armored troops also appeared in Versailles and entered the city of Versailles.
Except for some troops staying in Versailles, the main force of the army continued to advance towards Paris.
At this time, in Paris, Philip and other European aristocrats had become a mess.
Some newspapers and periodicals have begun to change their attitudes and began to report: "The great king ordered by the Holy Emperor is about to enter the city of Paris to save the vast working people of France! Undoubtedly, the dawn of victory is in front of us! The old world is about to begin. It’s over, we finally have the right to take a bath! We love bathing! Let’s take action and welcome Master Wang into the city!”
