Greetings from /pol/!

Why didn't napoleon just do what the Germans did in ww1?

Schliefen plan?

Logistics. Environment. Supplies. He might had it slightly better, and with that I mean that the Cossack’s wouldn’t hang their clothes on the Versailles gates to dry. But you wouldn’t have bistro’s also and Pushkin being what he was. So. No, not entirely. Now please go back.

>if he retreated right after he burned Moscow.
he did(?)

>Greetings from /pol/!
i'm sorry but just that statement doesn't warant a detailed explenation to your answer.

fuck off

Now wait a minute. Let’s assume for a minute that Napoleon was a bit smarter: what if he found the burned Moscow, destroyed what was left as well as whatever he could find on the way back to France, and then just immediately went home and published a narrative of victory? What if he went home and spun a story how “the Russians would rather burn down their capital than face the French army in direct combat”? He would maintain the strength of the French military and also put the ball in the Russians’ court. They would either have to refute the claim and have to explain a destroyed capital or pressure them into an open battle which Napoleon would likely win given his army strength? Would that amount to an actual victory? Or would the russians continue to be able to ignore the trade embargo of England, making them the victors?

none of this is smart or makes sense, please learn about the period before assuming things.

You’re the one underestimating the value of propaganda. Napoleon already controlled most of the continent, it’s not unreasonable to think he could spin the narrative of his regime.

The propaganda in France at that time was that Napoleon was DEAD you absolute boar. France was in a stage of turning against him because of his costly wars on their sons.
