Chapter 1034 Paris Is Restless
Compared with the Fuso team, the assault force composed of Chinese soldiers was much happier.
They have three armored vehicles and a large number of mortars on their side.
The Chinese army put a lot of effort into getting the armored vehicles over for landing operations. How to get the armored vehicles to land smoothly is a problem.
To this end, the Chinese army specially modified several landing ships.
There were actually four vehicles transported the first time, but one armored vehicle fell into the sea during the landing.
This technology is still very immature, and the loss of an armored vehicle makes the Chinese army feel a little sad.
However, in this failure, they can also accumulate some experience.
Moreover, the three successful armored vehicles were of great help in attacking the enemy's positions.
With the help of the mortar battalion, the Chinese army quickly rushed to the French position.
Is it difficult to land on the beach?
The main force of the Chinese army really didn't feel it.
"Damn it, where's Camp G? Why hasn't it arrived yet? Let them fill the gap."
Charles, the French frontline commander, said angrily.
He has been losing his temper since the beginning of the war and has never stopped.
Probably, it is the legendary incompetent rage.
Faced with the dire situation in front of him, he had no choice at all.
Moreover, this situation was a result that he had long expected. He also explained to Louis XIV N reasons why he could not fight, but Louis XIV refused to listen and insisted that he come to Normandy to be responsible for blocking the Chinese army. This was not a embarrassment. Well.
"Commander, I think we should withdraw. The enemies have already rushed to the position, and it will be useless even if reinforcements arrive. In the face of Dahua's powerful firepower, our numerical advantage cannot be used at all."
The subordinate persuaded.
Charles gradually calmed down after hearing this. In the situation in front of him, there was indeed no need to continue fighting. It was better to preserve his strength.
But what to do after retreat?
If you can't even defend a place with a huge advantage like the beachhead, what place can you defend if you retreat to the back?
From Normandy to Paris, it's basically all plains.
When all the Chinese armored forces landed, Charles did not dare to think about the consequences.
"Order to retreat, first to Rouen."
In the end, Charles chose to retreat.
There was no choice but to retreat. The soldiers below had already begun to flee.
Whether or not the order to retreat is issued, it actually doesn't matter.
The French army began an emergency retreat, but the Chinese army had no energy to pursue it because they were about to land.
But the impact is not big. As long as all the Chinese troops land, France will be basically undefeated. Dahua's armored divisions can march straight into Paris.
After occupying Le Havre, Dahua's landing operation was basically completed.
In this battle, they invested nearly 30,000 troops on land and sea, two-thirds of the warships and transport ships, including aircraft carriers.
In the end, they paid the price of more than 1,200 casualties and won.
More than 15,000 French soldiers were killed, and more than 20,000 surrendered.
Le Havre fell and news of the Chinese army's successful landing reached Paris, and the Parisian people immediately became angry.
They had long been dissatisfied with Louis XIV's insistence on going to war with Dahua, and the capitulation faction also contributed to this secretly guiding public opinion.
The capitulationists continue to promote the power of Dahua, telling the people that they will lose if they start a war, and Paris will fall if they start a war. By then, everyone's property and safety will not be guaranteed.
This caused great panic among the people, fearing a war with Dahua.
But Louis XIV ignored their demands, so now all classes in Paris are dissatisfied with Louis XIV.
This is a very dangerous situation because Paris is the core city of France.
Just like in Dahua, it is not a particularly big problem if people in other cities are dissatisfied with the imperial court. But if the people of Nanjing are collectively dissatisfied with the imperial court, they will be in big trouble.
Because among the people living in the capital, there are many big shots, and these are the people who can influence the situation.
The situation was similar in Paris, where a large number of aristocrats who wielded real power lived.
In a secret room, several nobles gathered together. They prepared to launch a palace coup and send Louis XIV to the guillotine in order to appease Dahua's anger.
At the same time, a new government will be formed, and then peace talks will be held with Dahua.
As long as Dahua can withdraw its troops and not attack Paris, everything will be easy to negotiate.
At worst, it would be like ceding land like England. Anyway, many places were stolen, and it wouldn't hurt if they were taken away. As for the loss of money, it will fall on ordinary people in the end and will have little impact on their nobles.
"We need to take action as soon as possible. We have to complete the coup before the Chinese army captures Paris. Only in this way can we surrender before Paris falls and negotiate with the Chinese to prevent the Chinese from entering Paris. Everyone, based on the attitude of the Chinese towards the nobility, I don’t think anyone wants Dahua’s troops to enter Paris.”
The great nobleman Leo said.
He didn't want Paris to suffer what happened to London, it was terrible.
Nowadays, the aristocrats in London have become a joke in Europe.
As for escaping from Paris, these nobles were not happy. They were used to living in Paris and could not bear to go to the countryside.
"Como, how are your preparations going?"
Leo asked.
"I have convinced the city defense captain that he will support us when the time comes."
Another nobleman, Como, said.
"Is the warden done? We need to break into the prison and rescue Earl Adrian. This is an opportunity to show our goodwill to Dahua."
Adrian was disliked by Louis XIV because of his pro-Chinese nature, and was imprisoned.
For Leo and the others, it should be a little smoother to rescue Adrian and let Adrian negotiate with Dahua. After all, Adrian is Wu Changqing's father-in-law.
Even if Wu Changqing is doing some superficial work, he will give him some face.
"I have bribed a few soldiers, and I can secretly rescue Adrian when the time comes."
"Are the people already incited? We need them to create chaos and storm the palace."
"It has been organized, and now the people in the city are very panicked, fearing that Dahua will come. Moreover, they have all concluded that King Louis is responsible for all this."
"Are the weapons ready? There may be a bloody conflict on that day."
.......
Everyone added up one by one, and after finally confirming that everything was correct, they started taking action.
At this time, Dahua's armored division set off from Le Havre and headed straight for Paris.
They found that the French army's will to resist was not strong, and more than 20,000 French troops surrendered in Le Havre alone.
Therefore, they can attack boldly and try to solve France earlier, so that they can deal with other countries.
