5334 French Army Soul
It is not easy to build a country, but it is also difficult to destroy it!
What is the reason why the French Empire built by the Bonaparte family was overthrown several times and restored several times? That is because this family actually represents the interests of a large number of people within France.
Especially the emerging military aristocratic group!
France in the 19th century was basically formed by the entanglement of several forces. The emerging capitalist forces accepted new technologies and new ideas. Most of them supported the parliament of the Republic, which was the typical republican.
The conservative feudal aristocrats have titles and a thousand-year-old aristocratic heritage. They are united with the old capitalists and are a typical royalist party!
However, although these feudal aristocrats and old capitalists were royalists, they were still not the direct lineage of the Bonaparte family!
The true core force of the Bonaparte family, or the diehards, is actually the emerging military aristocrats who believe in nationalism established by their family!
That's right, this is a group of nationalists who have accepted the ideas of the Great Revolution. They have ideals and ambitions, but have no chance to stand out.
These people hope that France will become great, and at the same time they hope that they can have a better life and class improvement!
Bonaparte met the needs of these people. He led the army to conquer almost the entire Europe in a long battle. During the conquest, the French nationalists were greatly encouraged.
These people were united more closely by the Bonaparte family! Not only that, Napoleon's proclaimed emperor also gave these people greater benefits, that is, the reward for titles!
This is the first time that children from poor families have discovered that patriotism can promote titles. The name France is no longer just a code for a country and nation.
This country can allow children from poor families to be generals and can be awarded titles!
Even though many veterans ended up as a small squire landlord and a small capitalist, this was enough. Compared with his extremely poor life when he was young, it was already a paradise!
All this was led by the Bonaparte family, so these emerging military nobles and their descendants will become the forever loyalty of the Bonaparte family!
If an empire exists, their interests can be preserved. If the empire collapses, how can those republicans care about their lives?
Why is Prince Eugen confident? Because he has the most powerful elite force of the French Empire, that is, the emerging military aristocratic group, all of which were promoted by the Bonaparte family.
After the reproduction of three generations, this power is very large, and it is difficult to split it up in any way!
"This is the military soul of France, the military soul condensed after the rise of nationalist forces! His direct representative is the Bonaparte family!"
Xiao Letian slapped the telegram on the table. The information of the bearded man was so important. A ghost that had been vaguely worried in Xiao Letian's heart was finally exposed!
There is no anger or panic. For people like Xiao Letian, all they fear is unknown!
It is the most terrifying thing to not find the enemy. As long as you find the enemy, it doesn’t matter how powerful the opponent is. It’s just a general who comes to block the water and covers the earth!
"Good! It's great... It's true that imperialism is undead to destroy me!"
"I knew France would not be able to watch it from the wall. I kept guessing what kind of form they would end up in. The result was the navy, but I didn't expect it would be the navy!"
"Haha, the Navy is the territory of the royalist party. This time we set out to unite, the British will find ways to make these French people charge forward!"
"How can the British motivate these French people to work hard? There is only one way, which is to invite Prince Eugen out and let him lead these royalists!"
"If I'm not wrong, with the appeal of the Bonaparte family, all the colonies along France will provide support to the prince!"
"That is to say, the enemies we have to face will be even bigger!"
Fatty Jin frowned, "There is Tsarist Russia! There is Tsarist Russia! These Rakshasa ghosts will definitely invest all their strength to deal with us!"
"The Far East King is in danger! What should I do? Head of State, we have to find a way... Go back to China! Do you really have to wait until the war breaks out before returning to China?"
But Xiao Letian did not pay attention to the fat man's problem, but continued to immerse himself in his analysis of France. He was smoking a cigarette and walking around in the tent.
"What is military soul? What is military soul?"
"The military spirit is nothing more than the martial spirit of an army or a nation. This is a mark left by the founder at the birth of a nation or an army!"
"In the Middle Ages of Europe, where the concept of nationalism did not appear, the so-called military spirit was nothing more than a group of mercenaries gathered with feudal lords who used money and rewards!"
"The character of a leader and whether he is generous determines the combat effectiveness of an army! In that era, the spirit of a strong army is often destroyed and the government is destroyed!"
"A certain person has created the spirit of an army! But as he dies, the huge force collapses!"
"But after the era of nationalism begins, the military spirits are different. The military spirits are not only concentrated in the army, but also condense in the hearts of the people. This is the appeal of the nation!"
"Do you know about fat men? In ancient times, farmers had no concept of state! They often think they were the private property of feudal lords!"
"Emperors and generals fight and kill, treaty after treaty, and the border line moves back and forth. Today, the people in this village are Germans, and they may become French next year!"
"It doesn't matter to the people. Anyway, they pay taxes to everyone. Isn't it possible to do it? They just believe in God!"
"But now the world is different. People understand that above God and feudal lords, there is also a concept of a nation, the same language and the same kind of interests!"
"When the nation is united, you will naturally not be bullied. There are many people and many powerful people and even go out to bully others!"
"When the whole nation has such a consensus, nationalist ideas will spread! It is under the influence of such ideas that you can see the people of the same nation resisting aggression without fear of life and death!"
"When you encounter a war, you would rather spend all your money than support the war! Only on the battlefield will someone sacrifice his life and die with the enemy with ammunition on his back!"
"Napoleon's army charged forward against the enemy's rain of bullets, and countless casualties were not afraid of them. This is the encouragement of nationalist ideas!"
"But just singing the high-profile nationalism and making the people bleed will not last long! That's why the Bonaparte family was smart enough to support a group of military aristocrats who were loyal to themselves in the wave of nationalism!"
"Nationalist thought armed their hearts and allowed them to fight bravely, and Bonaparte could protect their interests and reward victory!"
"This is positive feedback! This is to let those people see hope and let them understand that patriotism and dedication are rewarding, and they are very high rewards!"
"It is precisely because of such positive feedback that the Bonaparte family has successfully regained their hearts and restored them again and again! Because young people who are always passionate and want to improve themselves!"
"Hahaha... the French Republic is digging a pit to bury its own nation's martial spirit!"
"When they abandoned the Bonaparte family's scheme, they lost this mechanism of positive feedback incentive!"
"Break down one arm! In the future, France will have to fight again, and they will have to wave their flags and shout, hoping that the soldiers will inspire their blood courage and die together with the enemy?"
"When sacrifice can never see any benefits, how many people will be willing to lose their lives?"
"Haha... Kill Eurin Bonaparte! I will always bury France's martial spirit!"
"Now, fat man! Do you know why I'm waiting for the sixth and eighteenth grades? The military spirit of a nation also needs to be nourished and watered, and you can't just spit and fool you!"
"This battle! The British will definitely lose!"
