Napoleon quickly summoned Leclerc, and after a series of battles, he felt more and more.

The generals who followed him in the past are old, and their thoughts are out of touch with modern warfare.

Even their thinking does not meet the requirements of modern warfare.

Napoleon preferred generals like Leclerc because they were young and powerful enough, and also had enough drive and ambition.

Unlike those old guys, the upper progression is almost obliterated.

In the small living room of the villa, Napoleon was sitting on the sofa smoking.

Leclerc came in and saluted His Majesty the Emperor.

"Leclerc, how do you think the current situation will develop?" Napoleon pointed to the sofa next to him and motioned for Leclerc to sit down.

Leclerc looked at the smiling Napoleon and the stern-faced Murat.

"Your Majesty the Emperor! I think... things may develop out of control.

The Ming army in front of us is no longer something that our current weapons can handle.

And I found that the Ming army does not seem to care about occupying a strategic point as before.

But more interested in consuming our human resources!

In other words, the Ming army cared more about how many of us were killed than about the land."

"The land is owned by Russians and Ukrainians, they don't care." Murat said in a sullen voice while smoking a cigarette.

Murat spoke, and Leclerc did not dare to speak any more.

"Go on!" Napoleon motioned to Leclerc to continue.

"I feel that when the war has reached this point, our hope of winning the war has become very slim.

The Ming army robbed the Pope, there must be some conspiracy and purpose in this.

We only need to think about the direction in which the Pope can influence Europe, and we will know what the purpose of the Ming army was.

But this is not too important. What is important is that we currently have superior military strength, but we have no way to take the strategic initiative.

What's even more terrible is..., the Ming army has gradually digested Corsica.

It is also gradually building a base in Corsica, and is planning to land on the coastline of southern France.

Although we repelled several small-scale attacks, we still have to maintain up to 370,000 regular troops and more than 600,000 militiamen on the Mediterranean coastline.

Altogether, there are almost one million people.

In other words, we no longer have the ability to concentrate our force on one point."

When Leclerc said this, he glanced at Napoleon guiltily.

After all, if you say frustrating words at this time, the consequences are difficult to predict.

"Say what you think in your heart." Napoleon continued to encourage Leclerc.

"There is news that the Germans are already negotiating with the Ming Dynasty in Athens.

I feel that the Germans are not conceited.

They really want to keep this channel, and..., they will probably use this channel in the near future.

As I said just now, kidnapping the Pope means that Ming Dynasty does not mind, or even does not care about angering the religious forces in Europe.

In other words, they despise us.

They are fully confident of defeating us!"

After a pause, seeing that both Napoleon and Murat were listening attentively, Leclerc could only bite the bullet and continue:

"The current situation is that it is difficult for us to win the war.

I advise His Majesty the Emperor to give up this war as well."

"Abandon the war?" Murat looked at Leclerc fiercely.

"We are no longer able to continue the war, the young and middle-aged labor force has gone to the battlefield, and domestic prices have soared.

Our people are starving!”

"What will happen to His Majesty the Emperor if we surrender?" Murat shouted loudly.

"Murat!" Napoleon shouted to silence Murat, who was as furious as a lion.

Now that it's reached this point, Leclerc is ready to fight.

"Your Majesty, if the war continues, the French nation will be destroyed.

If we find a way to end the war, you can take the soldiers to America.

Let’s build our new territory!

Your Majesty, if the war fails, you will lose France. But France can survive!

If the fight continues, France will be gone and you will not be spared either.

I, Leclerc, swear here that if you are willing to conquer America, I am willing to stay by your side, follow you, and serve you for the rest of my life!"

Leclerc knelt on one knee, put his hand on his knee, and lowered his head!

"Murat! Relax, we are discussing the future of France." Napoleon waved to Murat.

Then, he walked to Leclerc and pulled Leclerc up.

"Leclerc is right, if we persist, the French nation will be destroyed.

A Xi's mustache has already taken the initiative.

I think we need to re-understand this war.

The gap in weapons was too great, and it was enough to make up for the Ming army's military disadvantage.

Murat, you have been away from the front line for a long time.

I don’t know, our soldiers need to use flesh and blood to fight against Ming Dynasty’s tanks.

Many times, our soldiers can only attack these steel monsters with explosive bags.

The Ming army's tactics were very powerful and our losses were heavy.

Many times, even though we made huge sacrifices, we were still unable to blow up the enemy's tanks.

The soldiers on the front line are tired of this kind of battle where they can only lose but not win.

Leclerc’s suggestion is very good. Let’s go to America. Maybe we can find a way out there for people like us.”

Murat sat helplessly on the sofa, looking very disappointed.

"Don't be like this Murat, we are just defeated.

At least we didn't lose France.

Now you can tell Leclerc how the establishment of our South American colonies is going."

Leclerc's eyes widened. He did not expect that even during the war, France still sent troops to America.

"Five years ago, our people entered the mouth of the Amazon River in South America.

There, the Portuguese had established a medium-sized city.

It would be no problem to house approximately 200,000 people!

We defeated the Portuguese army there, and in the past few years, we have continued to defeat the Portuguese army.

Today, we control large tracts of South America.

Because of the influence of the Amazon, these lands are very fertile and have abundant freshwater resources.

Since three years ago, we have been planning to immigrate to South America. Today, we have successfully immigrated to 100,000 people.
