Aide: Sir! The British are attacking Brest once more!
Napoleon: Well, just have the men we already stationed there defend it.
Aide: But, sir, our line was stretched too thin; it was covering the entire coast. There are too few men in Brest to defend.
Napoleon: Well, have nearby forces concentrate.
Aide: But, sir, we needed many of those men for our army. We were in the process of invading Prussia, and we had to pull many of them back when we realized there were only two divisions free for the invasion.
Napoleon: Well, there's got to be some nearby! Concentrate them!
*booms in the distance*
ENTER Aide 2
Napoleon: What was that?
Aide 2: Sir! The British sent gun boats up the Seine, and we had absolutely no navy to stop them. Paris is under attack!
Napoleon: Well, defend it! We have soldiers!
Aide: Actually, we had to pull those back when the British were threatening Marseilles last Thursday.
Napoleon: I guess I really fucked up LOLOLOLOL!!!!
