Part 8: Napoleon Total War

Episode 8 of Drifter's Napoleon Total War campaign picks up where the previous episode left off. General Wellesley's army has succeeded in pushing out all French rebels from the territory, securing the area around France, but trouble still brews within. There is believed to be a French spy in Paris who has attempted to assassinate Wellesley for the fourth time. Despite their efforts, the spy has yet to be identified and captured. Wellesley himself is currently back in London, recovering from a knife wound sustained in the latest attempt on his life.

General Townsend Walker, on the other hand, has made progress in the South, successfully capturing Torino. However, an uprising in Marseille, Provence demands his attention before he can focus on Madrid. The British Navy, meanwhile, has made a significant move with the launch of its first Ship of the Line. This feat rivals every other nation and secures Britain the title of Master of the Sea.

The history of HMS Elephant is worth mentioning in this context. This first-rate ship of the line was launched in 1786 and played a significant role in the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801, where it suffered heavy damage. It was later rebuilt and played a crucial part in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, where it served as the flagship of Admiral Lord Nelson's second-in-command, Vice Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood.

With the British Navy's latest achievement, they will continue their blockades, cutting off valuable resources to the French and weakening their forces. As the war rages on, the British will continue to push forward with determination and strength, inspired by the courage and leadership of General Wellesley and the might of their navy.
