Chapter 797 Defense? Attack me!
Of course, this is also because the steamship itself has excellent speed.
It is an ordinary sailboat. At least 10 days can be completed to finish this voyage, Dimo Bin can only surrender with hatred.
Speaking of which, Joseph originally set up the Eastern Mediterranean Trading Company just to promote French-Turkish trade and to win over the Ottomans, but unexpectedly he also reaped the dividends of high-speed logistical support.
At the port, the excited French soldiers threw Troc and other captains into the air and kept shouting their names.
At that moment, several captains suddenly felt that even if there was no high interest, this adventure was worth it.
As a large amount of flour was moved into the warehouse, Dimobin felt his waist stiffen.
At this time, there are still 22 days left before the task given to him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to hold Genoa for two months. These few ships of supplies are enough for him to persist until then.
At noon the next day, he even agreed that Overro, the violent temper, launched a counterattack on the East Line.
The morale of the well-fed soldiers was indeed high, and they pushed back Argentao's encirclement by a full kilometer in half a day.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The Olympic army quickly received the news from the spy of Genoa, and the entire headquarters was as funeral.
Melas's face was irony, and she murmured in her mouth: "The navy's waste, idiot ..."
After a long while, Argento glanced at the commander-in-chief and said cautiously: "General, given the current situation, we may want to consider abandoning Genoa."
"Give up?" Melas raised his head, and then suddenly laughed. "Yes, of course, but now it's not that we give up Reinya so simple."
Arang frowned, but immediately understood.
As Napoleon continued to consolidate his control over the Lombardy region, his side would soon completely lose contact with Austria.
At that time, it will no longer be the big army to siege Naya, but will become a north -south that has been pinched by Napoleon and Dimbin!
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. You must know that France can continue to send more troops to Italy from the direction of Toulon in the future, and it is only a matter of time before the Austro-Saharan coalition is defeated.
He hurriedly looked at Melas and said: "General, we should move east immediately, detour from Palma, and return to the Mantua Fortress..."
"Absolutely not!" Colli immediately retorted loudly, "What you are doing is equivalent to leaving Sardinia to face the French army alone. We will lose the trust of all allies!"
Sardinia is in the far west of Italy. After the Austrian army retreats eastward, the French army can occupy Alexandria at any time and cut off the connection between Austria and Sardinia.
Melas sighed and nodded: "You are right, we must keep Sardin, otherwise the situation in Italy will collapse quickly."
What he didn't say was that Parma, as a neutral country, may not allow his army to cross.
Of course he could force his way through, and Parma's army would be unable to stop it, but this would undoubtedly push it towards France and affect the attitudes of other Italian neutrals.
Melas stood up and came to the map. After thinking for a long time, he pointed at Alexandria with his staff and said in a deep voice: "Order the entire army to gather towards Alexandria and set up a defense line there. I will ask His Majesty the Emperor to Send reinforcements and launch an attack on Milan from Mantua ”
Then he knocked on Paavia again: "And we recapture Pavia, crossed the Bobo River, and pinched Milan."
Alexanderia is a transportation hub in North Italy. From here, it can support Sardine westward, but also to Milan north, and at the same time, it can also deter Reinaa.
Here, there is a foundation for continuing to compete with France in North Italy.
...
Milan.
Napoleon also pointed to the map on the wall and said to Victor and other officers: "Right now the Austrians have two options." One is to withdraw from Parma to Mantua and form a confrontation with our army there. In this case, we can only focus our attack on Turin.
"The second is to withdraw to Alessandria and prepare to gather strength to cross the river to counterattack Milan. But they have to reserve troops to prepare for General Dimobin's attack from the south, so they can only ask Vienna to send reinforcements."
< br>
Malmon murmured: "I hope they will not escape back to Mantia. I have seen that fortress, it is not easy to break."
Napoleon nodded: "I estimate that Melas will most likely choose to go to Alexandria. After all, he wants to show their Emperor that he has not been driven out of Piedmont by us."
He looked at the commander aside: "Send someone to contact General Dimo Bin, and let him monitor north north of Genoa. If the Olympic army retreats eastward, try to drag them as much as possible. I will launch an offense from Lody."
"Yes, Commander."
Napoleon said to Victor again: "You immediately gathered the troops and are going to cross the river from Pavia."
"Ah?" The latter froze, "crossing the river?"
According to his understanding, the right thing to do now is to prepare defenses along the Po River to prevent the Austrian army from attacking Milan. After all, the Osa-Saharan coalition still has a strength advantage.
Napoleon smiled: "We must defeat Melas before the reinforcements from Vienna arrive, otherwise we will face enemies from both directions of Mantua and Alexandria."
"But our military strength..."
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Napoleon said very self -confidence: "The Melas' army failed to attack Genoa. At this time, the morale must be very low, which is the best time for our offense.
"Besides, Alexandria is a very good base for attack, but not for defense.
"General Dimbin can even cross the Alps and go around his west side to launch an offense.
"So, troop strength is not a problem."
...
South Nideland.
North of Brussels.
Joseph looked at Napoleon's battle plan transmitted through the Sharp signal machine, which was also a report of merit, and showed a satisfied smile: "Colonel Buwanaba did not disappoint me, using such an army to force the Osa-Saharan coalition into A dead end.”
Emman whispered from the side: "It's Colonel Bonaparte, Your Highness. Mr. Bouwanaba has changed his surname."
"Well, Bonaparte." Joseph nodded, "Napoleon Bonaparte, this name sounds much more pleasant to my ears."
He signed Napoleon's battle plan and gave it to Emman to send back to Italy.
According to this trend, Northern Italy will be quickly settled by Napoleon, which is almost consistent with the historical direction.
Thinking of this, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
In the battle of Italy, it seemed too "lazy" a little, and it was completely thrown to Napoleon to get it.
In fact, the current situation there is much better than in history.
At the very least, Dimobin did not lose Genoa, and France gained a solid stronghold on the southern coast of northern Italy.
If it is only relying on Napoleon to fight hard, wouldn't it waste the strategic advantage there?
He thought about it for a moment, and said to Emang: "Please notify Mr. Taleram, let him go to Turin with Earl Provence ..."
