Although Prime Minister Bismark said that he had unparalleled power in Prussia, he was, after all, the head of the civil service.
However, due to his valiant personality and his outstanding strategic skills, he obtained the trust of the entire Prussian. In the end, he actually took over the military power of the empire!
The order of the Prime Minister was only a formality in the Ministry of War, no one would dare to ignore such an overbearing action, even the King would not refute Bismark's order to transfer troops!
Under the orders of the Prime Minister, the two Heavy Infantry Regiment, with over twenty thousand elite Prussian Kingdom soldiers, quickly set off for the south, boarding a train from Berlin!
The army temporarily commandeered the management of the train station, all the civilian trains were stopped and the military train rolled forward on the railway line one after another!
A flood of heavily armed soldiers had crossed the streets of Berlin. They could have circled the outskirts of the city and marched at night without disturbing the people.
However, Bismark's goal was to advance in a high-profile manner. He wanted to show the world the military power of Prussia, and he wanted to use the most serious warning to make the young king of the Bavaria behave!
In order to comply with the Prime Minister's strategy, these armies had deliberately taken a detour to advance in a military parade from the main streets of Berlin, showing off the powerful lineup of the Prussian Army to the entire world!
"My God! Look, our army is on its way! It's the royal guard, the royal guard of the king! "
"Two whole Regiments, over 20,000 of them are heading south. Have you heard of them? This time, my destination is the Bavaria! "
"Is the war about to begin? Is the war against France that we are expecting about to begin? "Brave lads, God bless you!"
Berlin was filled with the hubbub of more than twenty thousand guards. Everyone was restless. The streets were filled with people who had spontaneously crowded together to send off their blessings!
The twenty thousand army did not feel like much, but the Prussian army already had the rudiments of a modern army, and its reliance on logistics was growing!
The two Regiments alone had more than 6000 horses. Their cannons were equipped with 380 cannons, not to mention the countless ammunition and food horse material!
At this point in time, it was clear how powerful the Prussian railway transportation system was. At this point in time, the Prussian Kingdom had the largest total railway mileage in Europe, and also had the largest number of locomotives. With the addition of the Prussian's strict management style, the entire army could now move in an orderly fashion.
The train sped southward, one by one. The steam clouds above Berlin formed a dense cloud of steam. The power of industry was fully displayed at this moment!
From Berlin, twenty thousand troops marched southwest, past Halley and Leipzig, and finally reached the old city of Weimar and Fort Walter, Germany's most famous Tulingen Mountains, the border between Prussia and the Kingdom of Bavaria.
The 150 thousand strong army had already received Bismark's orders, and all the soldiers were already prepared to set off.
"After receiving the order, the Third Division Group of the First Army will immediately set off and enter the Tulingen Mountain Range before 9.30 …"
"After receiving the order, the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Army set off immediately at 10.30 am, marching urgently into the Sur region …"
"Have the Janissaries arrived in Berlin? Do not rest, there is no time for them to eat lunch, immediately go forward, and directly attack the border fortress of Bavaria! "
"Take action now! Take action now!" Delaying the implementation of the military laws of the empire! "
These Berlin Guards who had just jumped off the train did not even have time to drink a mouthful of hot soup before they received the order to march. Although there were not many guards, he was the symbol of the Empire, and the commanders wanted to place these twenty thousand people directly in front of them, and directly rush into the border town of the Bavaria, the Coburg Fortress!
He believed that when the flag of the imperial guards fluttered outside the walls of the city, this mad king of the Bavaria would definitely feel the pressure from the Prussians!
The harsh military training had turned every single soldier in the Prussian Empire into an emotionless machine part. Every single one of them could not speak or complain!
They marched south in long queues, and on both sides of the road a quartermaster led the local people to distribute bread to some of the distant soldiers.
A spoonful of butter was added to the rough black bread. This was their lunch! The road was dusty and the soldiers wolfed down their dry bread.
However, no one dared to complain. The army of ten thousand people was like a gigantic and sophisticated machine, advancing forward without any emotion.
30 kilometers to the south was the Coburg Castle, which was the frontline of the Bavaria's response to the Prussian threat. There was a famous military fortress in Germany, and that was the Coburg Fort.
The famous German military bunker, built in the 13th century, stood between the Tulingen Forest and the Mynn Canyon. Its strategic position was very important, and it controlled the most important main road in the Tulingen Mountains.
Once this place was lost, the Prussian army would be able to rush straight into the Nuremberg. This was the second largest city in Bavaria, if the Nuremberg was lost, half of them would die.
The garrison of the fortress had received the latest telegram yesterday evening. They already knew that over a hundred thousand Prussian soldiers were approaching them under the banner of a military exercise!
Although they were all of the same race, the Prussian had the nickname of Military Madman. Who knew what these fanatical militants would do to break the rules! Once the gun went off, could the seven or eight thousand garrison troops of the castle block it?
No one dared to answer this question, and no one was sure!
Every minute and every second was torture for these defenders. From the moment they heard the news, everyone's heart was in their throats. No one dared to rest, as everyone's eyes were as wide as cow-bells, constantly staring at the endless forest in the north.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier pointed towards the forest and shouted in a trembling voice, "Flying birds! Everyone, look! Countless flying birds!"
Sure enough, in the direction pointed by the soldier, a dark cloud suddenly rose up in the depths of the Tulingan Forest. It was the black sky, which was filled with countless birds, hovering in the sky.
