The allied forces of the Ming Dynasty, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, with two brigades of Dutch marines as the vanguard, arrived in Calais within two days.
At least the Calais defenders hadn't rebelled yet, otherwise they would have to fight a battle just to land there.
According to reports from the defenders, the fighting in Paris seems to be continuing.
With telegraph lines cut, the defenders could only maintain communication with Paris by airplane.
The railway was also blown up by the rebels. It can be repaired, but there is no guarantee that it will be blown up again.
In view of this situation, William III could only let the fleet detour to Le Havre.
The landing there was less than a quarter of the journey from Calais to Paris, which was very important for the infantry.
Of course, you don’t have to worry about getting lost, just walk upstream along the Seine.
In particular, small warships can also sail into rivers to provide necessary protection for the Marines.
The Dutch Parliament agreed to dispatch six brigades of troops to help Louis XIV, provided that the Ming Empire also participated in the war.
Because assuming that only the Netherlands participates in the war, if there is no guarantee that the rebels will win, they will turn around and retaliate against the Netherlands...
The Dutch Marines were intercepted by the rebels in Rouen, after walking about fifty kilometers.
The other party regarded him as the enemy of the entire France and warned that if he did not return the same way, he would be struck by thunder!
The result of the battle was that three thousand rebels were defeated by a brigade of Dutch marines and fled in all directions.
The whole process only took less than a quarter of an hour. Basically, when the tank was pushed flatly, the opponent scattered in all directions. Thousands of things to do
The rebels are not without tanks, but the number of tanks equipped by the local garrison and the corresponding training level are far inferior to those of the Dutch Marine Corps.
Apart from a few harsh words to embolden himself, his actual combat effectiveness is almost zero, and he belongs to the group of losers who are about to collapse at the first touch.
The French army's troops that can fight tough battles are almost all stationed in border areas or overseas territories.
There are rarely main field forces in the interior of the country, because such defenses have little practical significance.
Of the three thousand people who went to battle, less than one thousand were actually soldiers, and most of the rest were Ping Min.
Although there were muskets, facing the heavily armed Dutch army, their true colors were revealed after the fighting started.
It's just that William III didn't have time to send troops to attack Croon, and his top priority now was to reach Paris as soon as possible.
No matter what the outcome of Louis XIV is, he will live to see people and die to see his corpse!
When the number of troops is small, it is a taboo for military strategists to drive in from a long distance.
However, William III brought many small gunboats from the mainland, which after entering the Seine River, can greatly improve his own firepower advantage.
Coupled with the support of the Dutch Air Force, there is no need to fear the siege of the French rebels.
The Dutch troops of the four mechanized infantry brigades behind them would set off one day later, unless the Parliament imitated the French slinging gangs and prepared to abandon the William family.
The Dutch Marine Brigade has three tank battalions, each equipped with thirty-six tanks, and the entire brigade has 108 tanks.
The same is true for the Army's mechanized infantry brigade. The purpose is to add heavy equipment and at the same time increase the output firepower of combat units.
The standing army does not have many troops, which can reduce the financial burden. The focus is on the construction of the reserve force.
If necessary, Congress could immediately mobilize the millions of men who had served in the military to fight.
The same is true in France, but now the emperor and the stone-throwing gangs are fighting against each other, and the attitudes in various places are not consistent.
Lyon was the headquarters of the stone-throwing gang, and southern France was also affected by it, and they began to attack Louis XIV, the exposed king.
The further north you go, the lighter the rebellion becomes, and there are not many cities like Rouen that fell to the slingers.
According to the accounts of the defenders of Calais, most of the French naval fleet currently in the home port have sworn to continue to be loyal to Louis XIV.
Places including Calais, Le Havre, Cherbourg, Brest, Marseille and other places are still under the control of the navy.
It's hard to say for the Air Force, because many airports are built in rebel cities and are easily influenced by the other party.
Soon, the adjutant sent by Louis XIV met with William III.
The other party stated that His Majesty the Emperor had led his troops to repel the rebels besieging the Palace of Versailles and had generally stabilized the situation.
The only regret is that Paris is still in the hands of the rebels. I hope William III can lead his troops towards Paris as soon as possible.
William III still knew Louis XIV's handwriting, and he was convinced of it.
Unless someone is deliberately imitating and preparing to ambush their own troops through false information...
With a large number of gunboats assisting him, William III was not afraid of the rebels using crooked tactics.
Helping Louis XIV regain Paris was a favor that the other party owed him.
It’s a rare opportunity to get benefits from both sides!
Zhu Cihong's verbal guarantee to William III was that his reinforcements would surely land on the French mainland within ten days.
Even if Karl XI is unwilling to send troops, the Ming army alone should have about ten brigades.
If used to deal with the main force of the French army, it may be a bit difficult.
But after the French army was divided into two, and the troops loyal to Louis XIV were united to besiege the rebels, the chances of winning were very high.
Therefore, based on this assumption, William III would not be afraid even if his troops were surrounded by rebels in the suburbs of Paris.
Zhu Cixiang will soon bring reinforcements to rescue him, because his mission is still trapped in the Palace of Versailles!
Louis XIV deployed around Paris
^0^ Remember in one second【】
About 20,000 troops, or about five brigades.
However, after two brigades participated in the rebellion, the strengths of both sides dwindled.
Stimulated by the slings, the nobles and wealthy gentry in Paris became excited.
The other party offered generous terms such as deposing the emperor and being fully tax-free for ten years, which made everyone excited.
As for whether the finances will collapse as a result, and whether the army will mutiny as a result, that is not their concern.
Anyway, as long as there is no such bully like Louis XIV, everyone's life will only get better and better.
There was disagreement over whether to execute the emperor, but everyone unanimously agreed to depose him first.
From now on France will need neither a king nor an emperor.
Everything comes from Renmin, so Renmin has the final say!
The number of parliamentary seats is first allocated according to the population ratio of each major region, and then the members vote to select the final nominal head of state from the candidates.
The head of state is the mascot of France. He has no actual power and all rights lie in the parliament. Only in this way can he reflect the concept of equality for everyone.
With noble status, you can automatically become a member of the parliament, but only one person per family can become a hereditary member if you reach a certain level.
Rich gentry can also become members of parliament if their donation amount reaches a certain level.
Those who donate a large amount of money can become a lifelong member, but it is not hereditary.
Since there was no emperor, the name French Empire was no longer suitable.
After everyone studied it, it was decided that the new name of the country would be "United States of France"!
In other words, it means to unite the power of everyone and build a new country...
After the work was completed, everyone decided to build an obelisk in Paris to commemorate this great victory!
Before all the issues could be studied to a reasonable result, the Dutch army had already arrived in Paris.
William III was not in a hurry to attack, but met Louis XIV first.
The latter did not order an siege because they faced the problem of insufficient troops at hand.
After learning that the other party had only brought two brigades, Louis XIV could only wait for subsequent reinforcements to arrive on the battlefield.
For him, it was the greatest shame in his life that his hometown was taken away by the rebels!
Louis XIV was originally waiting for Zhu Cihong to come back, but he didn't expect William III to come first.
Fortunately, the other party did not bring many troops, so he had an excuse to continue besieging the city and waiting for reinforcements.
It seemed impolite to attack the city first and win in Zhu Cixiang's absence.
Although the other party had said that they would flee first, they went to ask for reinforcements after all, and they actually mobilized reinforcements.
Ten days is not a long time, and Louis XIV is willing to continue waiting...
The bad news is, according to reports from pilots who have fled back from the south.
Except for the ports controlled by the navy, almost all of the southern part of the mainland fell into the hands of the rebels.
The rebels also kidnapped family members of air force officers and used them as hostages, forcing them to join the ranks of the rebels.
When Louis XIV decided to send troops to help Leopold, he was not so entangled and annoyed.
Those scum not only betrayed themselves, but also behaved as shamelessly and despicably as bandits.
Subsequently, four motorized infantry brigades belonging to the Dutch Army also successfully arrived outside Paris.
Ten days later, three Ming brigades arrived at Le Havre, along with ten Swedish brigades.
Although he did not appear in front of Louis XIV immediately, this news was undoubtedly great news for him. m2.xqqxδeight.
People sent by Zhu Cihong also reported that the second batch of about ten brigades of Ming troops had already been transported by sea...
This is even more exciting news. If Charles I had had so many foreign aids, he would not have been exposed and beaten by the traitor Cromwell.
Louis XIV wants to see who dares to become Cromwell of France, then he will definitely be beheaded by himself!
Judging from the information gathered from all aspects, what he faced was not one Cromwell, but a group of Cromwells!
The slingers have no clear leader, and the most powerful one is a small group of less than ten people.
Claiming to follow the example of kimchi and give France a bright future...
Louis XIV thought this was nonsense, not even a ghost could fool him!
Cromwell thought so too at first, but what now?
The grave was dug up, the son rolled off to Africa, and future generations could not return to Britain.
If he hadn't allowed himself to be spared, not even a single member of Cromwell's gang would have thought of leaving the British Isles.
He is not Charles I, he has a group of allies to help him, so the rebels are doomed to fail!
Four days later, Zhu Cihong and Charles XI led the vanguard of the reinforcements to join Louis XIV.
Regarding this historic meeting, Zhu Cixi suggested that after the event is completed, the heads of the four people should be engraved somewhere in the Alps as a permanent memorial...
The other three had no objections. After all, in Europe, this idea was very innovative, second only to the Sphinx in ancient Egypt and the Statue of the Sun in ancient Greece.
For Louis XIV, finding a stone mountain to carve a statue on was a trivial matter, but destroying the enemies in the city was a big deal.
For Zhu Cixiang, it is not difficult to capture Paris. What is difficult is whether Louis XIV can accept a capital that is riddled with holes...
The coalition forces were unwilling to attack the rebels on the premise of protecting the buildings in the city.
^0^ Remember in one second【】
He was extremely merciful and was eventually shot and killed by the rebels.
Once the fighting starts, it will be an indiscriminate attack, and buildings will be destroyed one after another.
In order to regain Paris as soon as possible, Louis XIV agreed after a little thought.
Once this rebellion is suppressed, the cost of repairing Paris will come from the traitors’ property!
At nine o'clock in the morning on September 1st, the coalition forces officially began to attack Paris. They first conducted a fierce shelling of the defenders in the city.
The coalition air force also carried out large-scale air strikes on targets in the city, especially artillery positions.
There has been no rebellion in mainland France for many years, which also resulted in Paris not having a strong city defense after its expansion.
Louis XIV agreed that it was not necessary and that building defenses for the capital was a complete waste of military spending.
With that kind of money, it would be better to buy more fighter planes.
This original decision also made it difficult for the rebels to hold on to Paris for a long time under the artillery attack of the coalition forces.
Originally, many buildings were good bunkers for hiding and attacking. However, the coalition forces began to demolish the buildings as soon as they took action!
Any building where rebels are found hiding and firing will cause tanks to directly level the target.
If the building is strong, it will be difficult to be blown into ruins in a short period of time.
The coalition forces would dispatch fighter planes, drop bombs at low altitudes, and then violently shoot at the defenders on the rooftops.
What's even more cruel is to launch missiles at close range!
The warheads of this thing are all explosives, and their explosive power is much greater than that of artillery shells.
Basically, there are few buildings that can withstand the attack of missiles. It is just that the number of missiles brought is small, so they must be used wisely.
There are also many former French regulars among the rebels who have received training and have actual combat experience.
The mob, which was by no means defeated in one blow, caused considerable difficulties for the coalition's advance.
However, the internal command of the rebels was chaotic, and there was never a single authorized voice to issue combat orders. This was the biggest drawback.
Almost all the rebel forces that can fight are in a state of fighting independently. Once defeated, it will be difficult to make a comeback.
Under the cover of the gunboat troops on the river, the coalition forces first stormed the west bank of the Seine, and then took advantage of the situation to seize the east bank.
When encountering rebels with stronger combat effectiveness, the coalition forces will not choose to attack by force. Instead, they will attack from surrounding enemies with weaker combat effectiveness.
Finally, the powerful enemy is surrounded, and then fighter planes are dispatched to conduct air strikes on it, forcing it to be divided or even destroyed.
The rebels also had fighter planes capable of taking off into the air, but after the Ming army dispatched the "Black-footed Albatross", all the French army's "Albatross" became living targets.
Although the latter is flexible and maneuverable, its firepower is inferior to the former. The former's fuselage is also made of metal and is more resistant to strikes.
Without a dog fight, a single-shot Albatross rarely shoots down a two-shot Black-footed Albatross.
The Ming army was also equipped with numerous anti-aircraft machine guns, with two parallel machine guns installed on each tank.
It can not only block the advancement of enemy cavalry and infantry, but also shoulder the task of air defense operations.
The rebels also saw the power of tracked fuel tanks for the first time, but their wheeled fuel tanks seemed a bit outdated.
The tanks of the Ming army have thick armor, strong cross-country capabilities, fast artillery fire rates, and machine guns that do not hesitate to consume bullets.
The shortcomings of the French weapons of the same type were exposed when the two sides fired at each other, and they were basically destroyed in one encounter.
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
