C3014 Legacy of the Empire

"I can't say what's so great about it... "But I admit to it …"

"This city has a total of 170,000 elites!" Although they were defeated, these veteran soldiers are still the last elites of the France … "

"Who would abandon such a large fortune? Are those high and mighty politicians fools? To be indifferent to such a large fortune like ours? "

"Even if the empire collapses, we are still a rich legacy left behind by the empire!"

"Tell me …" Are there children and grandchildren in this world who do not fight for inheritance? Are we really going to destroy all of the wealth left behind by His Majesty? "

"Hehe …" I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it! "

The people at the bottom had a very simple wisdom. Sometimes, this wisdom would directly point to the truth of the matter!

The world actually wasn't that complicated. What was truly complicated was the human heart. Simple answers always made people's minds go astray!

This forty year old Old Company Commander had spent half his life on the battlefield. He had been stationed in the colonies before to suppress the uprising, had heard countless of speeches from French Emperor, and had even been stuffed with revolutionaries to advertise in the underground.

Although he was a low-educated man, he was also literate. He had been the target of all sorts of ideas in France for more than forty years.

Humans! Once he did something for the rest of his life, he would have a special calmness and keen intuition!

In his mind, although he had lost this battle, although they were trapped in the Mace's fortress, but... But after all, there are 170,000 veterans who have been trained for a long time, right?

One hundred and seventeen thousand soldiers, seventy to eighty percent of them were the elites that followed the French Emperor to fight in the east. Although their morale was currently low, they did not lose any of their abilities!

As long as they were provided with sufficient supplies, given a few months of rest, and then replaced with a group of experienced commanders, these veterans would definitely be as good as new!

For a country, how could it be possible to have a group of veterans to support the military?

Therefore, the Veterans Group was valuable, and valuable things should be cherished and not destroyed!

The Old Company Commander could no longer justify his actions, he was repeating his point of view back and forth. In his simple values, he had materialized all of them!

The one hundred and seventy thousand soldiers of the army were the precious inheritance left behind by the French Emperor. There were countless robbing of inheritance in this world, but the destruction of an inheritance was rare!

"It's ruined …" "But it's really gone …"

The entire place was deathly silent, and the Queue length s of the class were only able to say a few words after smoking two cigarettes, "But the Prussian will destroy us! Why would they let the Republic save us? "

"No, no, no …" "It's not like that …" The old soldier frowned.

"Mace City is a famous fortress of Europe. If they want to annihilate us, how many lives would they have to pay? Is Prussian willing to sacrifice so many people? "

"The key thing is, His Majesty isn't dead yet …" Even though His Majesty was captured, he is still the emperor! "

"The Prussian, the British, and the emperors of other countries... Your majesty will definitely exert his influence to save us! "

"The most important thing is, what is the purpose of the war?" The veteran stared at his apprentices.

"Don't you understand? "The war was actually just a struggle for wealth between the kings. The border between countries is just a line drawn on the map by those people …"

"If there's a conflict, let's fight. If we lose, we gain a portion of the benefits. If we win, we gain a portion of the benefits … "That's all!"

"No one wants to be a homicidal maniac... No one is going to war just to kill people... "

"And as you've just seen, the Chinese are coming... Furthermore, with so many Prussian army officers lining up to welcome them, it means that the person who has come is a big shot, possibly the Head of the Guards of the East! "

"Something is not right, something is not right!" I think it's going to change soon... My intuition can't fool people! "

There were many flaws in the reasoning of the Old Company Commander. It was not worth considering, but as a veteran who had received very little education, it was already not easy to comprehend this point.

Of course, he had been loyal to the French Emperor all his life. This had already become a habit, so he naturally believed that the Emperor would still save them. The Emperor did not completely abandon them.

When the veterans brought up such a mysterious reason like fighting intuition, no one could refute it. They could only gloomily smoke their cigarettes, as if they were waiting for the change or opportunity that the veterans had mentioned.

At 3: 30 in the afternoon, a white flag suddenly floated up from outside the base. An official dressed in a French military uniform, escorted by two Prussian army officers, slowly approached the Mace City.

"Company Commander, quickly look … "The enemy is coming with a white flag …"

"Don't shoot, let them come …" Be on full alert... "Let's see who's in front?"

"My God! I know him! Colonel Yue Sefu... Hadn't he been captured before? "Open up, let him in …"

The position was in a complete mess. Old Company Commander tried to stand up with the help of the two soldiers, but failed to do so the second time. At this time, Colonel Yue Sefu and the two Prussian army officers had already entered the position.

"Old Charlie? God bless you, you are actually from the Old Charlie's company! "

This Old Company Commander looked a little famous. The colonel clearly saw him, but he did not put on any airs. He even took the initiative to kneel down and hold his hand.

"You're a veteran of the Empire, you've been shot? God, was it treated? Did you take out the bullet? "

Old Charlie smiled and exchanged a few words of greetings. "No problem, my brother helped me dig out the bullets in the morning …" "It hurts, I don't have any ointment at all …"

Yue Sefu turned his head and looked at the two Prussian army military officers. The two of them touched their pockets and took out a bottle of whiskey, "This is all you have, let's see if I can help you with it …"

Old Charlie squeezed the Colonel's hand. "What news did you bring? How did you get back? "

"Don't ask anymore …" I'm on my way to see the marshal... I... I have brought news from His Majesty! "

The eyes of all the soldiers in a company lit up. They subconsciously surrounded him!

The colonel quickly shook his head and waved his hand, "Don't ask, don't ask anything …" "Remember, you are soldiers. It is your duty to obey orders!"

A little soldier in the crowd suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Order?" Whose orders should we obey? Is it an Imperial or a Chinese order? "

The crowd suddenly shot him angry looks. "Shut up!" We are His Majesty's troops, and from the moment we entered the army, it was Bonaparte Family who took care of us! Have you forgotten your oath? "

The young soldier didn't dare to retort, and the colonel sighed, "Don't say anymore, send a few soldiers to bring me to see the marshal. Immediately …"
