Chapter 21 Reply to the King of Saxony
Thanks to enthusiastic book friends "The Heretic Judge" and "Horizontal" for their suggestions, they are ready to include the breastplate cavalry brigade of the Kingdom of Saxony into Desay's arms, haha!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Poles were welcomed by the Regent to attach importance to developing good relations with Britain almost allies, which was that the princes and grandchildren of Hanover seemed to have great sympathy for the Polish nation. Although the British Parliament repeatedly rejected the proposal of Buckingham Palace based on its political stance against Revolutionary France and did not condemn the ancient Polish kingdoms of Ollithi, Prussia and Russia.
The Catalans are also generally the case. After all, they have no pain with the British, and the increasingly close bilateral trade has led to constant exchanges between the top leaders of the two countries and the people. In the past, the destruction of the Invincible Armada and the disastrous defeat of the Battle of Trafalgar were a serious disaster suffered by the Spaniards, and they have no relationship with the United Kingdom of Catalonia today.
As for the French, the century-old global hegemony with Britain was not only fiercely fighting from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, but also exerted a gay relationship between gentlemen. Even Emperor Napoleon, who hated the British, repeatedly instructed the French army not to abuse British prisoners of war and to give them treatment equivalent to their military rank. The French army rarely plundered ordinary British citizens.
Therefore, the only one who does not want to see Prince Desai reconcile with the British side is probably the Irish who fled all over Europe.
After 1811, the Irish Autonomous City (formerly Carellia) on the western coast of the Mediterranean held several large-scale protest tours. The representatives of Irish refugees asked the city's chief executive, Baron O'Hara, who was president of the Irish Federation, to persuade the Regent to give up the compromise reached with the British side and should always adhere to the anti-British stance.
Desai flatly refused such a petition. Because the whole interest of the country is far higher than the revenge and selfish desire of a minority. Therefore, he would never tolerate anyone or any group trying to overtake his head with this selfish desire.
After several mediations were ineffective, under the order of the Regent, with the support of two guard divisions, a large number of fully armed military police drove into the Dominion of Ireland in the early morning and took over the public security of the city.
During the entire military process, although there were not many conflicts between the Irish people and the military police that restored order and caused minor casualties on both sides, the Ministry of Military Police and the Ministry of Police still followed Prince Desai's instructions, planned, organized and incited the people to gather for trouble, and arrested the 283 Irish militants who fought against the law enforcement military police and sent them to the criminal court.
The final judgment of the court was that 96 Irish militants must undergo hard labor ranging from 5 to 8 years in Cape Verde, and the remaining criminals, together with their immediate family members, were restricted by the court to leave the United Kingdom of Catalonia within five days.
Desai's decisive action made London very satisfied, thus eliminating the biggest obstacle between the two countries: the Irish anti-British forces in exile overseas.
However, Dr. Kava, who was also an Irish, was filled with indignation. He first refused the title of viscount granted to him by the Regent, and then rushed to the Manresa Palace angrily, but found that the facts were not what he imagined.
Desai told Dr. Kava calmly: "Half of these 283 Irish militants are not truly exiled or expelled. They are brave volunteers carefully selected by the Military Intelligence Agency and Baron O'Hara on weekdays. All will undertake an extremely important and honorable task within five years. For this reason, they will receive long-term and arduous special training. As for other specific content, I cannot inform you yet."
Although he did not know what important tasks these Irish volunteers were responsible for, Dr. Kava, based on his sober understanding of the scheming and far-scheming Prince of Desai for more than two years, guessed that they might become the brave cannon fodder of the Regent's plot against Britain.
Dr. Kava, who was thinking in his heart, did not say anything anymore. When leaving the Manresa Palace, he still muttered the words quoted by the Regent: "This is a reasonable price that a nation should bear to obtain ** and rebirth!"
After all, there is never a free lunch in the world, and time travelers from profiteers never fulfill their unilateral obligations and responsibilities.
In the advance fleet to Poland, Dr. Kava refused to enjoy the comfort of a senior officer on the flagship "King", and he found a three-masted cruiser without the British.
Desai had no objection to this, and Dr. Cava made trouble. On the contrary, "British compatriots" such as Bomai expressed deep regret for this, because they could not face the Irish scientist who was famous all over Europe, now and in the future, and Sir Cava, the master of the medical field today. In 1810, King George III of the United Kingdom awarded him the title of Sir Cava's great contribution to medicine.
...
Andrew Desay, the commander of the army, was not used to long-term sea life. Therefore, every few days, the delicate and expensive Regent asked the deputy commander of the fleet to choose a harbor as a place for mooring and resting.
In fact, Desai regards this voyage from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean and to the Baltic Sea as an unprecedented diplomatic state visit.
In the port of Faro, he met with the Resistance Government of Cadiz and reiterated his good wish for peaceful coexistence;
In Lisbon, he reviewed the traditional friendship between Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom of Catalonia;
In La Coruna, he secretly met with many French marshals and generals stationed on the peninsula and brought stock dividends to everyone;
In Bafrell and the Isle of Wight, he and the British representative of the Earl of Liverpool finally determined the alliance agreement between the three bilateral countries;
Now, under the close surveillance of a large number of British local fleets, the advance fleet crossed the narrow Dover Strait without any danger. At noon on June 9, he arrived at the Hague Port, which was already in the territory of the Falcon Empire.
When arriving at the Hague Port, Prince Desay ordered all the officers and soldiers of the fleet to take turns to rest for 3 days, and the joy was thunderous. The sailors had long been looking forward to this moment. On the ship, they were tortured by British instructors. Apart from eating and sleeping, they took almost all the rest of the time to be used for various training, including washing and polishing the deck.
Accompanied by a large number of guards, Prince Desay went down to the Harbour City in the first group. Of course, he did not come to see the beautiful Dutch windmills or the fragrant tulips blooming everywhere, but accepted the warm invitation from the Saxony Consulate in The Hague and went to visit.
The gentleman in gorgeous clothes is polite and the noble lady with snow-white breasts shaking her small fan, and dancing in the magnificent hall under the guidance of wonderful music; or whispering to each other, politely politely to men or women; or smiling but raising her head, and tasting the rich food carefully prepared by the owner, this is the traditional social way of European aristocrats.
After more than three years of influence, Desai gradually adapted to this aristocratic life in the 19th century.
However, the purpose of his trip would be to let those deep-grubbish women who could not wait to reveal their "sex-hunger" as targets, or be surrounded by a group of nobles who were accustomed to flattery like stars and moons.
After two polite dances, the Crown Prince Desay took the excuse of being tired from the journey and went up to the room on the second floor to rest temporarily, accompanied by the Embassy Consul, Earl Straw.
Lying in the comfortable lounge, Desay was not spared. The Earl of Strau was conveying the original words of King Saxony and Grand Duke of Warsaw, August I to the crown prince of Poland.
He said, "Dear Crown Prince, Your Majesty hopes that the first thing you do after you arrive in Poland is to send someone to welcome your wife, Princess Maria August, from the Palace of Dresden... In addition, the three chest plaque cavalry regiments will accompany His Highness Maria to Warsaw and accept your full command from His Highness."
"Three chest plaque cavalry regiments?" Desai was stunned when he heard this.
In a blink of an eye, he realized that August I was tempting himself again. Since being "married", Desai and Princess Maria, who has become his legal wife, have always seemed lukewarm.
Every two weeks, the so-called "family letters" written to Dresden are all bloody plots sent by Desai to excerpt certain bloody plots of the collection of European poetry poetry, perfunctory. In the letters, Desai never proposed the specific time to marry Princess Maria, even if his father-in-law, King Saxony, and August repeatedly threatened and tempted him, it would be useless.
However, this time, August I obviously spent a lot of money and was extremely generous in using the treasure of the Kingdom of Saxony, three chest-plated cavalry regiments (each regiment has a cavalry of more than 600 people, and a total force of 2,000) as one of the dowry.
In the Desai army sequence, all types of troops are available, but the only thing missing is the heavy cavalry. The real reason why he is not good-looking is not that the combat effectiveness of the breastplate cavalry is limited by various circumstances, but that the thick breastplate has too high requirements for personnel and horses, so the expense of supplying breastplate cavalry is much greater than that of other types of cavalry.
In fact, heavy cavalry has always been an important assault force on the European battlefield, especially when used to break through the weaknesses of the enemy's front and give devastating blows to the already shaken enemy. In addition, polished breastplate can also have a certain psychological deterrence effect.
In the history of the parallel world, the Saxony heavy cavalry brigade composed of three breastplate cavalry regiments once showed extremely strong combat power in the Battle of Borodino on the expedition to Russia. They fought with fearless spirit, surging forward like waves, colliding together, and then slapped into bloody waves, leaving the loudest chapter in this heroic poetry history.
However, the final outcome was too tragic. This brave and fearless Saxony heavy cavalry brigade almost lost all in the war to invade Russia. Among the more than 2,000 officers and 7 soldiers, only 20 officers and 7 soldiers survived and returned to their motherland; in addition, 48 were captured by the Russians and relegated to their long-term hard labor.
Desai will naturally not refuse if he can obtain the highest command of this heroic force.
Chapter completed!
