"The army is an organized and disciplined killing machine. I shot them not because they plundered, but because they did not obey military orders. Before the commander issued such orders, any violation of the prohibition will be severely punished, because on the battlefield, any action that does not obey military orders will be irreparable fatal injuries."

...

"You care for the Spanish so much, but they still don't sell you food and vegetables. Don't you feel like a failure?" Ross asked.

"My food supply can ensure the needs of the Legion. As for the Spanish peasants, they are naturally afraid that the nobles will come back to settle the accounts with them. When the battle is over, the nobles will disappear. Perhaps my fifth column will be established." Andrew said proudly, as if he was boasting about his achievements in front of an old friend.

"Fifth Column?"

"Haha, this is just a synonym." Andrew covered up the topic and said, "You want to know, when will my army conquer Madrid?"

"You are still concerned about the problems in front of you. The 80,000 Spanish army is not something you can easily defeat." Ross finally found an excuse to fight back.

"Haha, I won't defeat, but I will wipe out 80,000. Not to mention that 80,000 is even more than tens of thousands, it will only be a death. The stupid Spaniard actually changed generals at the last minute, allowing the reckless man with no combat experience to act as the commander. The stubborn commander did not listen to the correct advice of the old duke, gave up the defensive terrain and wanted to take the initiative to attack me, but the troops were divided into three groups.

Haha, my previous series of deceptions had such great effect. The Spaniards believed in the loss of the legion's strength and believed that my soldiers were less than 30,000, lacking artillery and mobile cavalry. The new commander General Brisbane was still having their last supper in Barcelona as we were talking.

In more than twenty days, I will be the new owner of Madrid. I will also have your contribution. If it is not your carrier pigeon, the Spanish will not be so easily deceived."

"Despicable!" Ross stood up angrily and glared at Andrew.

But the commander himself was not angry, shook his head, and signaled the captain to sit down quietly.

"General Nelson would be unhappy if he knew how you were still impulsive. Haha, don't forget your mission. You came to contact Andrew to analyze his advantages, find his weaknesses, and prepare for the future battle between the two armies. But you were too impulsive and did not obey orders to act as a messenger's mission. This is probably what the London intelligence officer in Paris meant. Is it?"

"How do you know?" Ross agreed with Andrew in disguise. But the general in front of him did not answer his question. Andrew filled the lieutenant and himself with wine and continued to eat and drink.

After staying silent for quite some time, Ross finally couldn't help but said unconvincedly:

"You may not take the Spanish army seriously, but once the British Empire's army lands on the Iberis Peninsula, can your army resist it?"

"Haha, Captain, you are too naive. Oh, I'm sorry for my words. Do you think Andrew has no precautions? If the British Army landed on the peninsula to fight, it would be an unprecedented disaster for all the British. Before I sent troops, I informed the British cabinet through diplomatic channels, but unfortunately, no one believed my warning. After Pandora's box was opened, the bitter fruit would be swallowed by you British."

....

"Don't be excited, Captain. Let go of hostility and listen to me.

In fact, as I said before, if the French reconcile with the British, everything would be much easier. But the British cabinet believed too much of its own strength and looked down on the embattled France. In fact, no country in the entire European continent can resist the French. Of course, it was on land and on the sea that was still the world of the British fleet.

The low territories and the Italian princes were too weak, but they could only be beaten; the Prussian army was of good quality, but unfortunately the tactics were too rigid; Austria had long lost its enterprising spirit, and dancing was the greatest capital for officers to be promoted; while the Russians were unstoppable, both officers and soldiers, but they were too far away to interfere in France and were somewhat unable to do so.

Therefore, the biggest enemy in front of France is Britain. It has enough money to fund rounds of anti-French alliances; it has a strong navy that can block the entire Mediterranean coast, which makes me have to cross the mountains to transport food and supplies; it also has a well-informed message channel that has made my military police run and caught many spies. However, none of those spies are lucky, and only the guillotine is waiting for them.

The reason for keeping you is not only the only son of the British Navy Secretary, but also through your mouth, tell other British people not to go against Andrew, who is very fierce and treats his enemies extremely fiercely.

Don't be excited, I didn't say that I will release you now, at least wait for me to conquer the whole of Spain. No, it should be said that it is to help Spain get rid of the influence of the British. After all, in history, both countries belonged to the Bourbon dynasty and were considered a family."
