C2693 The Price of Insolence and Ignorance

In fact, neither Flosad nor Flosad lied to the French Emperor. The real person who lied to him was the Prussian General Staff, the crazy Xiao Letian.

After the war, the Chinese military institute concluded that the Franco-Prussian War was a watershed between classical military art and modern military theory.

Before the Franco-Prussian War, human wars had already entered the gunpowder age, but the military philosophy was not much different from that of the Middle Ages.

And the Franco-Prussian War was the beginning of a true war of great military reform. From this battle, many military scientists understood what it meant by a wide and deep detour, what it meant by a large army gathering, what it meant by a high-speed railway network, and what it meant by a artillery group being used …

The Franco-Prussian War was wonderful, in which you could see the shadows of countless medieval wars and the rudiments of modern wars.

Here you can see the human race vying over medieval castles, and on the other hand you can see the roar of steam locomotives under these castles!

You can see the soldiers in line for the charge still knocking on the sixteenth century military drum, even the trumpeter can blow out a passionate music.

However, the army armed by the Industrial Revolution could be seen even more clearly. They were shooting away at this medieval romance with their heavy machine guns!

You can see that the armored cavalry still wielded their sabers and charged forward, and the big Arabian horses still swept across the battlefield. But at the same time, you can also see how crazy the people's compulsory army system was, relying on nationalism.

The efficiency of recruitment was like the ocean, it was able to submerge all the professional soldier s. This was the first time a human had gathered millions of soldiers to kill in a battle.

Millions of soldiers were fighting and killing while hundreds of millions of citizens were supporting the war. From today onwards, the war was completely separate from the ancient era's point of victory and had entered a cruel stage where the whole nation would not stop until one side died.

Unfortunately, Prussia and the Chinese were the first to adapt to the development of the era, while the France became a conservative person!

They could understand the advantages of railway network for the troop's mobility, but they did not think that it would be of much use!

They could understand how the new cannon would reinforce the war, but they were still stubborn enough to use the bronze cannon!

They were well aware of the advantages of the Prussian system of military service, but they refused to make any changes to their own military system!

They knew a lot, it could be said that the French understood everything that the Prussian was doing... But they just couldn't do it!

It wasn't until the start of the war that they woke up from their dream. Furthermore, the arrogance they had at the start of the fight had suddenly turned into a bird of prey!

The Prussian army was a volunteer, how could they have such a strong will to fight? You clearly don't have the advantage in military strength yet you dare to attack so crazily?

Why did the cannons in the Prussian army attack so closely and so ruthlessly? Why was it that although there was only one division of the army on the surface, the density of their artillery shells exceeded that of a single division?

Even a fool would know that the General cannot be trapped in a land of death, but why would Xiao Letian throw himself into a trap and attack Huang Long directly?

They could not understand any of this, so they could only look for the answer from the old military exercise book, but the old military book could only give them one answer!

That is, the enemy's military power far exceeds yours, that's why you made such an abnormal move!

In truth, Prince Karl and McMahon's fighting strength was only a 1: 1 ratio. If they really decided to fight to the death, it would be hard to say who would win!

Sissi knew how to fight, so his French army had the absolute advantage. However, he was scared off by Xiao Letian's crazy actions!

The self-proclaimed French people were finally suffering. Perhaps they would have to wait until the end of the war and wait for them to completely calm down before they could see that it was impossible to just shout out and eat the old days of Napoleon the War God!

It was a pity that very few people could maintain their rationality in a war, at least Napoleon III could not!

After he had determined that McMahon was lying to him, he was infuriated at that time. "This bastard, for nothing else but me trusting him, even though I had handed over the entire power of the eastern front to him, yet he actually lied to me like this!"

"Ba Zan! Go to the new castle and capture him. Go and direct the battle at the eastern border, you must block the Prussian army at the east side and definitely cannot let them meet with Spicillin's plateau's Prussian army! "

Marshal Ba Zan immediately sweated when he heard this. The troops in the east wing were not close to him, they were all his direct descendants.

The marshal hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty! Right now, the war was extremely urgent, so changing hands was a big taboo! Furthermore, even if I head to the new castle now, I will have to delay the road for three days. I'm afraid that there will be a huge change in the battlefield during these three days! "

"Why is it that all the words we are saying now are guesses? What if McMahon is a suspect? Maybe he's trying to lure the enemy in! "

"Your Majesty, please do not make such a hasty decision! Give him three days, and let us see his next move! "

French Emperor was still not giving up. He still shouted that he would take care of the commander in charge of the eastern front, and at this time, Crown Prince couldn't take it anymore!

Ou Renbonaba had always been silent, but at this moment, he walked in front of his father and whispered a few words into his ear. "Father, the eastern front lines are all McMahon's disciple, there's no use letting him go even if you want him to!"

"McMahon has over 30,000 elites now, we need to use him now and stabilize our morale!"

"If you want to punish anyone, you have to wait until the end of the war!"

His son's words reminded French Emperor. The old man puffed his beard and glared as he scolded, "Damn it! Send a message to McMahon, let him die in Foshan Mountain Pulse! You absolutely cannot take a step back! "

"You can give up Strasbourg when necessary! Anyway, nothing can happen on the western side, and I want to win here! "

Seeing French Emperor angrily leaving the meeting room, all the generals present had ashen faces, not knowing what to do. At this moment, Crown Prince pulled Marshal Ba Zan to a corner.

"Old Marshal, what is the current situation?" Tell me the truth! "

Looking at Crown Prince's youthful face, the old marshal could not help but say, "Your Highness, the current battle situation is not looking good! "His Majesty has always been adamant that Prussia is not good enough, not good enough …"

"But these two battles have reminded us, Bismark had prepared himself for this battle!"

"Right now, the fire of war has already reached our borders. The enemy's peaks are already stationed at the Spicillin's plateau, they are only seventy kilometers away from the Mace!"

"If the enemy is really as Flosad said, with a hundred thousand troops, then our army of one hundred thousand Mace will no longer have any advantage in strength. This is the most terrifying thing!"

"Do we not have the advantage in a one-to-one ratio?" Crown Prince said in shock.
