Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 412 No one's life is easy

Napoleon held the binoculars steadily, watching the English army on the opposite side slowly occupy the original French forward artillery position, and patiently waited for more English rose beef to appear.

However, the operations of the rose beef in England shocked Napoleon.

Because those Rose Beef who had already occupied the French forward artillery positions were not in a hurry to organize the battlefield, nor were they in a hurry to count the artillery and shells left by the French army.

On the contrary, those rose beefs rushed to the... food left by the French army?
Napoleon, who was so confused, couldn't help but look up at the sky—although it was almost evening now, and he was about to have dinner, but... But, this horse is fighting a war, bastard!

Also stunned was Joseph Bollard.

"If I'm not mistaken," Joseph Barnabas murmured with a dazed face, "Those damn Rose Beefs are robbing food?"

Napoleon nodded, and replied with the same expression of confusion: "Yes, you read that right, they are indeed robbing food—could it be that the food supply of the English army is already so tight?"

After finishing speaking, Napoleon himself denied what he said just now: "Impossible, according to the information we got before, although those Rose Beefs didn't carry much food, they were far from being so nervous."

Joseph Barnabas frowned and said, "What could be the reason? Because our food is so delicious, they couldn't bear it? Also, what should we do now? Do we still have to carry out the shelling as planned?"

Asked by Joseph Barnabas, Napoleon was immediately caught in a dilemma.

Start shelling immediately?

In all fairness, now is not a good time to start shelling immediately, because only a small part of Rose Beef rushed to the original French forward artillery positions, and the real Rose Beef troops are actually still marching slowly.

Do not start shelling immediately?

Doesn't seem like a particularly good choice either.

Because the first to rush to the original French forward artillery position were those damn rose beef cavalry-if these cavalry on thoroughbred horses were fed and drunk, they would very likely attack the second French army. line of defense.

This is definitely not good news for the French army, which has gradually abandoned cavalry.

After holding up the binoculars to observe again, Napoleon finally decided to observe again. Anyway, the cavalry and horses need to rest when they are full of food and drink. It is impossible for them to attack the second line of defense of the French army immediately.

Just as Napoleon and Joseph Barnabas were stunned in shock, Little George was also stunned by the scene in front of them.

The bewildered little George moved his neck mechanically, turned his head to look at Edward and Richard: "Can any of you tell me what's going on? Our English soldiers... they seem to be robbing France What's left of the frogs' food?"

Edward was not in a daze, but looked familiar: "Your Highness, you can rest assured that they are indeed robbing the leftover food of the French frogs. When they are full, they will still attack the French frogs." of."

Richard, who was standing beside Edward, was just like Little George, stunned by the scene in front of him: "No, your army... your army's food is already so tight?"

Hearing what Richard said, Little George immediately looked at Justin, who was in charge of the logistics of the English army, with an uneasy expression: "Justin, are you going to learn from your father?"

Justin immediately sneered, and said: "Your Highness just wants to say that my father is embezzling England's treasury. Next time, just say it directly. There is no need to be so eccentric—but, I want to ask Your Highness, do you have any evidence?" ?”

Little George suddenly became angry.

evidence?

If there is evidence, that lunatic George III will keep your father in charge of the French treasury?Long ago chopped your father into 99 pieces and threw them into the sea to feed the sharks!

Just as little George was complaining secretly, Justin also learned little George's yin and yang magic skills: "Dear Your Highness, I have to remind you—it's a war now, even if I dare to embezzle the logistics budget, I will never be here Greedy on the battlefield, after all, I can't bear the crime of forcing soldiers to mutiny."

Little George was so stunned that he was speechless. In the end, he could only hold back the anger and asked in a deep voice, "Then why do they still want to grab the food of the French frogs? Could it be that the food of the French frogs is So delicious, so delicious that people forget that they are at war?"

Justin shook his head and said: "It's not that the food of the frogs in France is particularly delicious, but because the food of our English army is particularly unpalatable-for the food budget allocated by the lords of Congress, I didn't let them eat pigs." Eating is already very conscientious."

After a slight pause, Justin added: "What's more, it's tea time now."

After Justin said this, Little George's expression suddenly became even uglier: "Tea time? Gentlemen, there are still people who drink afternoon tea during the war?"

As if suddenly reminded, Richard Edward and Richard immediately looked up at the sky, and then looked at each other again.

Indeed, it is indeed afternoon tea time.

As a noble English gentleman, the most important thing to do now is to prepare a hot cup of afternoon tea with some small snacks, taste it slowly, and quietly appreciate life in the scent of black tea.

As for fighting?
Let the war go to hell, and nothing can delay the afternoon tea-if even the afternoon tea cannot be guaranteed, just charge the little food budget allocated by the lords of Congress, I am afraid that the soldiers in England have already mutinied on a large scale.

As an honest, reliable, noble, and elegant English gentleman, Edward and Richard not only think so, but also do the same.

The two first asked the attendants around them to prepare the tea leaves and tea sets for the afternoon tea, and then patiently found a relatively flat place, intending to enjoy today's afternoon tea quietly.

Little George, who was completely stunned, grabbed Justin, who also wanted to enjoy afternoon tea, and asked stupidly, "Are they actually enjoying afternoon tea?"

Justin looked at the stunned little George, but felt a little unbearable in his heart. Not only did he not reply to little George with any yin and yang, but he even patiently answered little George's question: "Yes, Your Highness, they are indeed enjoying themselves. afternoon tea."

"You should know that England's treasury does not have much revenue, and the budget that the gentlemen of Parliament can agree to allocate to the army is even less."

"In order to protect the safety of England, we can only choose to spend most of the military expenditure on the purchase of ordnance, and in this part of the military budget, 80.00% of the military expenditure is used to purchase the ordnance of the Ming Dynasty, and the other 20.00% is used Come to purchase the ordnance of our arsenal in England, so as to ensure that the arsenal can maintain production."

"Under the premise that a large amount of the military budget is used to purchase ordnance, the army's food budget is naturally very small."

"And those damn French frogs chose to buy the ordnance of the Ming Dynasty and completely gave up their own production and research and development, so their military expenditure on purchasing ordnance is actually much less than ours, which means that those French frogs More of the military budget can be spent on food."

"So, the food of the French frog army is indeed much better than that of our English army, a lot."

"Under such circumstances, I can only do my best to ensure the supply of afternoon tea—I can tell you clearly that if there is not enough drug and afternoon tea supply, these soldiers who can still obey your orders will be the first Time mutiny!"

After listening to Justin's explanation, little George's face suddenly became very pale, and his whole body felt a sense of despair: "How did this happen? Didn't that lunatic George III say that England's army is the best in Europe? Didn't he say, The English army trained strictly according to the standards of the Ming army?"

Jass shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think you should ask Mr. Edward about this question."

After thinking about it, Justin added: "Of course, the food of our English army is much better than that of those diaper heads in Tianzhu."

Little George's face suddenly became paler - much better than the food of those diaper heads in Tianzhu?
God can prove that just hearing about it before made little George feel extremely sick, and Justin actually compared the meal of the English army with the meal of those diaper heads?
After being silent again for a while, Little George nodded mechanically again, walked up to Edward and sat down beside Edward, and repeated his question foolishly.

"Well, what should I say?" Edward put down his teacup, his eyes resting on the pastry in his hand: "Your Highness, do you know the training standards and logistical support capabilities of the Ming army?"

Little George still shook his head mechanically.

Edward sighed, and said, "I once studied at the National Defense University of the Ming Dynasty, so I know the training standards of the Ming army, and I also know the logistics support capabilities of the Ming army."

Pointing to the English soldiers who were enjoying afternoon tea on the battlefield, Edward sighed helplessly, and said, "This kind of scene is unimaginable among the Ming army."

"Let's just talk about food."

"According to the provisions of the Ming army on food, the food standard for each of their soldiers is ten yuan a day-in conversion, it is about three times more than our soldiers in England."

"So, their soldiers can eat well, and they can also eat very full, so that the Ming army has to go through a lot of training to ensure that their soldiers will not be too obese."

Little George felt that his three views had been hit, but Edward didn't mean to let him go. Instead, he continued: "Because the Ming army has sufficient food supplies, they can conduct a lot of training, and we The English army's budget is insufficient, food security is insufficient, and training is naturally much worse than that of the Ming army."

"Of course, this is not a particularly fatal gap, because, as long as we are willing to increase the budget, this gap can still be caught up."

"But what I'm going to say next, is the real gap."

Edward took a deep breath and said, "For example, if the civilians of the Ming Kingdom are in danger, the army of the Ming Kingdom will help the civilians at all costs, even at the cost of their lives."

"Even after the danger is lifted, the army of the Ming Dynasty will patiently help those civilians to return to normal life. They will even give their food to the civilians when they need it, but they can eat all kinds of food themselves. Unpalatable food, they would rather starve themselves than give priority to civilians."

"This gap is something that our English army can't learn anyway, and even all the troops in Europe can't learn."

Little George, who had gradually returned to normal, frowned tightly and asked, "Even so, they shouldn't delay fighting for afternoon tea, right? If the French army on the opposite side launches an attack on us..."

Faced with Little George's question, Sir Edward, the commander-in-chief of the English Army, shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the French frogs on the opposite side have fought us many times. You can enjoy afternoon tea with peace of mind every time, because they also need to eat, hahahaha."

Little George was still a little dazed, and he didn't even know where Sir Edward's joke was - just because he could enjoy afternoon tea before, so he didn't take any precautions now?

What is the difference between this situation and the fact that I suddenly used cavalry to attack the artillery positions of the French army before?
It's just useless to understand this truth, and little George still can't change everything in front of him.

Want money?

Not to mention that there is not much money in the treasury itself, and the gentlemen in Congress will not approve the request for a budget increase. Even if there is money in the treasury, what if the gentlemen in Congress approve it?

The change of the army has never been completed overnight.

More importantly, George Jr. is not a hero himself—George Jr., who hates George III very much, is very rebellious and greedy for enjoyment. He can't even compare to Louis XVI, who has been completely ruined.

In desperation, George Jr. simply chose to play badly, planning to enjoy a nice cup of afternoon tea with Edward, Richard and the others.

……

Napoleon was completely dumbfounded.

The English rose beef on the opposite side did start to gather at the forward artillery position left by the French army, but after these English soldiers occupied the artillery position, they stopped like this?
