Chapter 1426 Frontal Hard Steel
Leopold didn't know what the king was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely call him a beast.
After all, not everyone can come up with such a perverted idea.
How could a king pull his cousin over and then let him die?
Leopold: So I'm not a human being, right? Should good people be pointed at with guns?
In order to allow Leopold to concentrate on resisting the Great Flame, King Nice very considerately took control of Leopold's subordinates and their families.
Some of Leopold's men were from the Kingdom of Nice.
After all, the Kingdom of Nice also sent troops to join the coalition, so Leopold naturally had people from the Kingdom of Nice among his men.
However, these officers of the Kingdom of Nice recognized Leopold as their commander after spending time with him day and night.
Because they found that compared with those good-for-nothings in the military of the Kingdom of Nice, Leopold was far superior.
Leopold is the true model of a general, while those generals of the Kingdom of Nice are a bunch of guys who are just sitting there doing nothing and are a bunch of parasites of the country!
How can we save this country by being with a group of people like this?
So the young officers of the Kingdom of Nice chose to follow Leopold.
After the coalition forces arrived in the capital, a large number of young officers took the initiative to join Leopold's coalition forces.
The king did not say anything about this, because in his eyes, as long as he could protect the country, it was enough, no matter whether there was an alliance or not.
It would be enough if I could stand in front of him and die for him!
Leopold was somewhat surprised when he learned that the families of his men were under control.
He had just praised the king for his wisdom, but he was slapped in the face so quickly.
But he was not in any hurry.
Because the king would never take action against these people, or at least not against their families until the war was over.
The reason why the King of Nice controlled the families of these people was to force Leopold to fight to the death.
Leopold smiled disdainfully after figuring out the reason for all this.
Some people say that they are loyal to their country, but in fact they are more afraid of death than anyone else.
And those who never said they would be loyal to the country became the last loyal subjects...
Leopold spoke to the messenger.
“Go back and tell your king that I will not run away, because this is my mother’s hometown!
And there's nowhere we can escape to!
Let my dear cousin sit quietly in the palace and watch how his cousin holds off the Wehrmacht!
The coalition forces are not cowards! Only those who think of surrendering will doubt that others will surrender too!"
Leopold was direct and unsparing.
The messenger was a little surprised when he heard it, but he still reported everything truthfully.
After hearing the news, the king flew into a rage in the palace. He turned into a desktop cleaning master and smashed all the vases.
"You've gone too far. Leopold, are you now forgetting your roots?"
We are the ones who provide food for his army! We also maintain their weapons and equipment. How dare he talk to us like that?"
The king said this in impotent fury, and the messenger beside him lowered his head and dared not look at the king in front of him.
After venting his anger, King Nice looked at the messenger beside him.
"Go back and tell Leopold that everything he eats and wears now is paid for by me! If he doesn't respect me, I will cut off his food supply!"
Leopold in the command center listened to the words of the messenger in front of him and smiled disdainfully.
"Then go back and tell the king to cut off my food supply!
I want to see how he can defend the capital without the coalition forces!"
Leopold was not afraid either.
The king has bullied his subordinates so much. If he, as a general, does not protect them, it would simply chill their hearts!
As a general, the most important thing is to protect your subordinates.
Subordinates are the foundation of a general.
For an excellent general,.
The emperor's order can only make the general think.
But the general's orders will make his subordinates carry them out with all their might.
Leopold's tough response broke the defense of the King of Nice.
But he did not actually cut off the food supply for Leopold's coalition forces.
If the food supply really ran out, Leopold would probably order his soldiers to leave the city and surrender that night, and then commit suicide.
The king finally had some brains.
A few days later, Leopold was still reinforcing the city's defenses.
In addition to the horse traps outside the city, Leopold also took control of all the water sources in the city and identified individual water sources among them.
These individual water sources are not connected to the river system outside the city.
This means that even if the mercenaries poison or pollute the water source by some other means, the ordinary people in the city will not be affected too much.
Leopold was not a brute, so he divided up all the independent water sources.
After meeting the daily water needs of the people in the city, all remaining independent water sources will be allocated for military use.
Soldiers were sent to guard it strictly.
At the same time, guerrillas were sent to the surrounding areas to fortify the city and clear the fields.
It is winter now, and there is already heavy snow all around, turning everything into a vast expanse of white.
Just a few months ago, the Eastern Continent was still golden.
The Western French Empire even committed the abstract act of burning wheat fields.
Leopold was naturally incapable of doing such an abstract thing.
So he chose to order his men to notify the people in the surrounding villages and ask them to evacuate.
Because he didn't want these ordinary people to be used by the National Defense Forces.
What the Wehrmacht is best at is mobilizing the masses. If these ordinary people were allowed to lead the way or clear the way, it would be a devastating blow to Leopold.
Leopold considered himself a gentleman, so he would never use ordinary people as human shields.
But after these days of fighting, he found that the mercenaries were a bit inhumane.
To be on the safe side, he ordered the people to move.
The guards and mercenaries who were on their way to the capital naturally learned of this situation.
They had more admiration for Leopold.
If a gentleman is born in a small country, it is not the king’s fault!
There are many people like Leopold, and even if they are on the opposite side of Dayan, it does not prevent Dayan from respecting them.
A true hero deserves respect regardless of nationality.
In addition to clearing the countryside, Leopold also laid some mines in advance on the route that the Wehrmacht must take.
They were also very clever in placing several mines at intervals along the road in order to slow down the army's advance.
But he obviously didn't expect that the Wehrmacht had such a black technology as a mine-clearing vehicle...
Leopold was very optimistic about the war and believed that he could withstand the first round of attacks.
But is this really the case?
