On the fortresses of Italy and the defense of Venice.
"My son, I receive the report of General Chasseloup [CHASSELOUP-LAUBAT, general director of the fortresses of Italy].
I don't want to spend 500,000 francs on the Rocca d'Anfo. Chasseloup makes me spend like crazy. I have to adopt a plan according to which I will spend two hundred thousand francs in four years. I don't want to spend more. Everything that has been done here is ridiculous. - I approve of you spending 30,000 francs to bring a trickle of water to the Montechiaro camp and to maintain the plantations. - There should be a line in Italy, and that this line should cover Venice| for as soon as one is obliged to pass Treviso one discovers Venice, and from then on the army of about twenty thousand men is weakened, and one loses the resources which one would find in this great city. Which line should we take? I want us to study the Piave line. Have the plan removed from the great points| and that it be studied from the mountains to the sea. It ends, I believe, in swampy terrain where an army could not act, and begins in inaccessible mountains.
The part that should be defended seems to me to be a very difficult one. Three or four earthen bridgeheads with small masonry bays could give an advantage to a small army over a stronger one, because it could open up through one of these bridgeheads, to attack the enemy army, while the other three would be defended by a few troops that would be left in these bays. One could pass all the less between these bridgeheads as the right bank dominates the left bank| I think I observed this several years ago, when I passed this river near Azola" .
