Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Canopy.

[The "Hundred Days Dynasty" begins. ]

【Napoleon knew that his time was short.】

[After returning, Napoleon quickly abolished the reactionary decrees issued during the Bourbon Restoration.]

[Trying to reshape the image of an enlightened and liberal empire.]

【To win the hearts and minds of the people. 】

【And fully prepare for war! 】

【At the same time, the whole of Europe was shocked by the return of the Emperor. 】

[They immediately united at an unprecedented speed. ]

[Britain, Russia, Prussia, Austria and other countries formed the Seventh Anti-French Alliance, and a million-strong army marched toward France. ]

[Napoleon knew that he had to divide and attack the allied forces before they could complete their assembly.]

[In June 1815, he personally led about 6 French troops, of which about 12 were actually available elite troops, into Belgium.]

[The target is the Anglo-Dutch coalition forces commanded by the Duke of Wellington, and the Prussian army led by Marshal Blücher.]

【June 6, the battle that decided the fate of Europe.】

【It unfolds near the Belgian town of Waterloo. 】

[Napoleon at this time no longer had the sharpness and precision of his peak period. ]

[The long battles consumed his energy, and illness also tortured him.]

[Napoleon, who was getting older and less powerful, showed rare hesitation in key military decisions.]

[In the appointment of generals, he made the mistake of using the mediocre Marshal Grouchy to pursue the Prussian army.]

[Resulting in the latter being unable to return to the main battlefield in time.]

[He underestimated the Duke of Wellington's tenacity and the fighting power of the British army.]

[He also underestimated the Prussian army's determination and ability to force a march to the battlefield after getting rid of Grouchy's entanglement.]

[The original plan was to defeat the British army cleanly and efficiently. ]

【But it was completely unrealized.】

【The Battle of Waterloo became a brutal war of attrition. 】

[The French launched numerous fierce but poorly coordinated charges.]

[They were all stubbornly repelled by the British troops occupying the ridge.]

[When the battle lasted into the afternoon, both sides were exhausted and waiting for reinforcements. ]

[The main force of the Prussian army led by Blücher finally appeared on the flank of the French army.]

[On the French side, Grouchy's troops never arrived. ]

[The battle situation was reversed in an instant. ]

【The French army, attacked from all sides, collapsed and the soldiers fled in all directions. 】

【Napoleon tried to rely on the Old Guard to make a final resistance. 】

【But the situation is over.】

The picture on the sky curtain shows scenes from classic old movies such as "War and Peace" and "Battle of Waterloo".

In that era when special effects were not relied upon and large-scale real-life shooting was the norm.

The shocking war scenes are indeed very classic.

The comments were also full of discussion.

"Wow, this is all real? What a big scene!"

"There are no such large-scale filming scenes nowadays."

"Our decisive battle is also strong."

"But the final battle can only reach the level of "liberation". War and Peace not only has a large scene, but the key is that all the costumes and props are retro. This investment is really too much."

"The unique texture of the film era, the picture is really comfortable. "

"Hot knowledge: this movie was shot by active Soviet troops."

"The director's famous quote: There should be as many people in the movie as there were on the battlefield back then."

"They also built a Moscow city, but it was not a special effect, and it was burned down in the end."

"The most amazing thing about this movie is that it actually made a profit in the end."

"It was shown in Europe, America and Japan for three consecutive months and the theaters were sold out. The Oscars reluctantly gave the award."

"The main reason is that extras don't need to be paid, otherwise it would be impossible to make a profit."

《The one in the middle is the Old Guard! 》

"They are indeed old, and many of them have white hair."

"What a big deal, finding so many white horses to charge forward."

"This charge destroyed the French Empire. After the Emperor, there were no more mobile troops."

"This wall charge is so beautiful."

"The most stunning cavalry charge on the big screen, unprecedented and unparalleled."

"Indeed, a large number of dragoons charged into a hollow square. I have only seen this movie."

"It's a pity that Prussia arrived in time, otherwise Napoleon could have won again."

"What nonsense! Napoleon was about to lose before Prussia arrived."

……

The sky continues.

[After the disastrous defeat at Waterloo, Napoleon retreated to Paris with only 10,000 remaining soldiers.]

【Waterloo has since become synonymous with failure. 】

[And Napoleon's military career also came to a sad end at this moment. ]

[After the defeat at Waterloo, the French people actually hoped that Napoleon would dissolve the parliament, establish a dictatorship, and fight to the death to defend the country. ]

【But Napoleon had lost his spirit and decided to abdicate. 】

[On June 1815, 6, Napoleon signed his abdication again.]

【The Hundred Days' Reign ended, and Louis XVIII was restored under the escort of the Allied Forces. 】

[This time, the victors showed no mercy to the "Corsican Monster".]

[In order to completely eliminate hidden dangers and avoid civil unrest that may be caused by executions in France.]

[They chose to exile Napoleon to St. Helena, thousands of miles away, isolated in the depths of the South Atlantic.]

[This volcanic island is tightly controlled by the United Kingdom. ]

[It became the conqueror's final prison.] [The environment on St. Helena is harsh, the climate is hot and humid, and it is isolated from the world.]

[Napoleon was imprisoned in Longwood Villa and was closely monitored and subjected to many difficulties by the British Governor Hudson Lowe.]

[He understood that returning to Europe was impossible.]

[In the last six years of his life, he dictated his memoirs, reflecting on his life's merits and demerits, and trying to position himself in history.]

【The disease gradually eroded his body.】

[On May 1821, 5, Napoleon Bonaparte died on the island of St. Helena at the age of 5.]

[The cause of death may be stomach cancer, or it may be poisoned by the British. ]

[Napoleon's body was not brought back to France until 1840.]

[Buried with grand state ceremony under the dome of Les Invalides in Paris.]

[To this day, he remains an extremely complex figure in the hearts of the French. ]

【Napoleon was both the successor of the revolution and the creator of order.】

[Another terminator of the revolution. ]

[He is not only a genius in the history of military art, but also ignited the glory of the French nation. ]

[He was another militaristic conqueror who brought great disaster to Europe.]

[As the French literary giant Victor Hugo commented:]

【Il fut grandiose même dans ses erreurs, auguste dans ses taches, puissant dans ses crimes. 】

[“He is majestic in his negligence, brilliant in his stain, and great in his sin.”]

The sky screen video ends here.

Barrages of comments also flew out one after another.

"What a pity, he almost became the Qin Shi Huang of Europe."

"It's the British again. The geographical location has saved Britain once again."

"The Russian blizzard is as terrible as the British navy, and even more terrible."

"It must be said that Napoleon's grasp of the battlefield situation was unmatched at the time."

《General Dong is so awesome.》

"Little Mustache: I will prove that I can attack Moscow in winter!"

"Little Mustache is also a fan of Na Huang. He even wanted to commit suicide on the anniversary of Na Huang's death..."

"Generals Lannes and Davout were able to defeat the enemy with fewer men, and they were also Napoleon's favorite generals. If these two were there, perhaps Waterloo would not have been lost."

"It's speechless. Cao Cao and Liu Bei both knew to stop fighting and raise their troops. Napoleon was too war-crazy."

"In fact, after Napoleon got stuck in the quagmire in Spain, he tried his best to engage in diplomacy, forming an alliance with Russia and marrying Austria."

"But France was the only country in Europe at the time. If a tree stands out in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind. It was bound to be besieged."

"No hope. The Hundred Days Dynasty is purely militaristic, and the only option is to win big in a row."

"But the return of the king in the Hundred Days Dynasty is indeed handsome."

"Then the European monarchs were dumbfounded. How could this be possible? They immediately united and wanted to encircle and attack France again."

"The generals are almost gone, and the veterans are almost gone. We are facing Wellington, the top general in British history, and the British army has continuous support. "

"In the Seventh Coalition against France, 70 troops defeated Napoleon's army of less than 30."

"If it was Napoleon at his peak, there might be a fight."

"What a pity for Napoleon's 60 troops."

"In fact, only half of the 60 troops were French, and the rest were servants and allies."

"Although Napoleon failed, the republic and the tricolor flag survive to this day."

"He objectively used physical means to spread the spirit of the Great Revolution. Based on this alone, he deserves the title of a great man."

"Finally, the Emperor of France returned to Paris, and the Old Guard escorted the Emperor's coffin to burial."

……

And outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

"What does your Majesty think of this person?" Fusu asked proactively.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and then commented slowly:
"He is an ambitious person who uses the name of revolution to practice dictatorship."

"In my opinion, his biggest mistake was not the continuous wars."

"Instead, we lost the crucial battle due to logistics."

"He led an army of 600,000 to invade Russia, but he didn't even bother to build roads and secure food supply routes first?"

“Maybe the winter in Moscow is really terrible.”

“But if you can’t have stable logistics, there’s no point in launching such a large-scale war.”

"Attacking Russia without occupying its territory and destroying its country is a waste of national strength, which will lead to wolves surrounding it and eventually lead to its downfall."

Ying Zheng felt that Napoleon's main problem was attacking Russia, and his army was destroyed in the cold winter.

And in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin stared at the contents of the sky with a complicated look in his eyes.

There are also top war emperors who admire Napoleon's achievements.

There is also deep regret and warning.

"He is truly a hero of his generation!"

"He rose from the ranks with military merit, broke the old and established the new, established the Code of Law and benefited future generations. His talent and ability are rarely seen in the world. However..."

Li Shimin sighed:

"However, the speed of its defeat was as fast as a falling star, which is really regrettable."

"The inner demon is hard to suppress, and the greed is too great!"

"To engage in war for many years, to support war with war, and to plunder other countries, this is definitely not a long-term solution."

"The defeat was not due to war."

"It was not because of the battle of Waterloo."

"I can even conclude that even if Napoleon wins Waterloo, it will be of no avail."

"In France, the country is exhausted."

"Outside France, there are wolves everywhere, and people from all over the world are fighting desperately for freedom and independence."

"At this time, Napoleon had lost the right time, place and people."

"The hero can only grow old, and it is impossible for him to rise again." (End of this chapter)
