Good wine!

So cool!

"Dad, since we are not sincere, why bother talking anymore? Why don't we go back to Russia? Didn't you say that what you can't get on the battlefield, you won't get at the negotiation table."

Li Lin lay on the beach chair next to Li Xiao and looked at the sea comfortably.

"Haha! What you can't get on the battlefield, you won't get at the negotiation table.

However, when we have an absolute advantage, we can get what we don't get on the battlefield at the negotiation table.

For example, France is a die-hard opponent of the Ming Dynasty.

As for Germany, the relationship with us before the war was actually not bad.

Last winter, if they hadn't stood still, they might have lost Moscow now.

Without Moscow, not only the Russians may withdraw from the war.

Moreover, we also lost the most important railway hub.

Tsaritsyn will be separated from the Central Asia Railway, and we will not win the Tsaritsyn War.

So, when the Germans wanted to negotiate with us, I immediately sent Zheng Sen.

When the Germans wanted to know the sincerity of our negotiations, I sent you over immediately.

At present, the situation on the battlefield is not yet fully understood.

The two sides are just pretending and conceding, leaving a channel for communication.

If we show overwhelming superiority on the battlefield, things will change.

We can ask Germany to withdraw its troops, or even ask Germany to help us dismember France."

Li Xiao smiled and said to his son.

"Dismember France?" Li Lin's eyes widened. He didn't expect that his father would actually make such a fierce move.

"Your second uncle has always wanted to land on the Mediterranean coast of France and then go straight to Paris."

"right!

My second uncle told me many times that by doing this we have opened up a second front, and he is sure that we will be able to capture the city of Paris within half a year."

"hehe!

It's not that simple. He is leading a Marine Corps instead of a real Army. How can he conduct a large-scale offensive operation hundreds of kilometers away?

Besides, far away from the coastline, his naval artillery fire could no longer support the Marines.

So how many troops are needed to reach the city of Paris, and how many people are needed to cover their supply lines behind them?

Hundreds of kilometers of supply lines, you think it's so easy to maintain them.

That's French territory, surrounded by French people who are hostile to us.

So!

The time is not ripe to open a second battlefield, and we cannot mobilize so much force."

"Then why did you approve the second uncle's last trial attack?" Li Lin asked a little strangely.

"Firstly, I want your second uncle to give up, and secondly, the necessary harassment must still be carried out.

In this way, Napoleon would not be able to fight on the Russian front with peace of mind."

"Then what you said about dismembering France...!"

"As the main force in resisting the Ming Dynasty, France certainly needs to be punished.

However, France as a dominant nation has already been established in this world.

Paris is still the center of Europe.

This is difficult to change.

So I thought, let's just dismember France.

Let France be divided into small countries like Luxembourg, after all they were ruled by aristocrats not long ago.

Moreover, there are also many counts and dukes living in exile overseas.

Get those people back and let them continue to rule the territory that belongs to them.

As long as France is broken up, European countries will basically stop.

Then we will deal with them one by one!

Until Europe is broken into pieces.

This process may last twenty, thirty, or even fifty years.

This requires not only the efforts of my generation, but also the efforts of your generation.

Even more, the next generation needs to continue to work hard.

In the past, I thought simply, thinking that if I defeated the European coalition forces in Russia, I would be able to dominate the world.

But now it seems that it is easy to defeat the European coalition forces, but it is difficult to kill them all.

Once the European coalition forces escape, we will have to attack one place in Europe.

Just thinking about it now is a nightmare.

We don't have that many people, nor that many soldiers.

On a front that stretches thousands of kilometers, we will occupy European cities and villages one by one.

So, I thought, the way to deal with Europeans is to use Europeans to deal with Europeans.

Our first goal is to dismember France.

After dismembering France, we will dismember England.

This is easy to see from their country names.

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!

Let’s find a way to get rid of Ireland first, and then…!”

"And then there's Scotland. The Scots hate the British even more than we do."

Li Lin immediately agreed.

"Yes, that's it.

We can also free Wales from British rule.

In this way, the UK actually becomes four countries.

In that case, Britain's international influence will be much smaller.

We can also use similar methods to dismember Germany.

They were originally divided, Saxony, Black Forest, Bavaria, and Prussia.

Splitting them now is just to let them return to their original appearance.

These things must be done as soon as possible.

Now Germany has only been unified for twenty years, and those dukes are still there, and they still have their own forces.

Once they are gone and their power is scattered, it will be too difficult to split them up." Li Xiao took a sip of his beer.

In fact, what he really wanted to dismember was Germany.

Instead, it is France that needs to be preserved!

The reason is very simple. France, as a national subject, has existed for a long time.

It’s not easy to split now!

As for Germany, the merger did not take long.

The name of the country was changed from Prussia to the German Empire just last year!

It would definitely take much less effort to dismember them.

Unfortunately, Napoleon was the most important initiator and most active promoter of this war.

He even gave up everything he owned in France and stayed on the front line to direct the war against the Ming Dynasty.
