Carl's muttering was a bit childish, he was a thirty-five-year-old adult, and it was really undignified to say such angry words.

The classic battle of infantry and cavalry fought by the Chinese certainly took advantage of geographical advantages, and being good at making good use of geography is what a soldier should have, and this is beyond reproach.

There was only one path in the dense jungle for the cavalry, and outside the jungle was a long, gentle slope full of gravel, and the cavalry had to attack from the back. This terrain is indeed very unfavorable for cavalry, and the infantry definitely has an advantage in fighting in this terrain.

But how big is this advantage? Is it really so great that Prince Karl disdains it? The answer is no, the Chinese soldiers have always fought more with less and rode with foot, and the gap in numbers and equipment is obvious.

The strength of the two French cavalry battalions exceeded 800, while the officer corps under Xiao Lotian was only 300 in total, not to mention that the French still had 800 war horses to borrow, while the Chinese relied on two legs to gallop.

The details of this battle have long been known from the telegram, and they really can't say anything except admiration, the combat effectiveness of these Chinese soldiers, there is really no army of that country in the whole of Europe that can do it.

But with such combat effectiveness, Prince Karl became an indifferent surprise in his mouth, which is really unconvincing.

While the big men at the luncheon sighed secretly in their hearts, the prince's next words made them change their views just now, and everyone was moved.

"I admit that I did underestimate their strength before this Chinese rescue operation, and I was impressed by this operation......" Prince Karl changed his frivolous tone just now, and his face became more and more solemn.

"The relationship between the Prussian royal family and the British royal family has always been very close, and I don't need to repeat who my wife is, and here I can reveal a top-secret information, when the British captured the Chinese capital Beijing, there was a top-secret test six years ago......"

One sentence made everyone present interested, Prince Carr's wife is Princess Louis, the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, the eldest princess of the British royal family, and his mother, Queen Victoria, was the instigator of the First Opium War. At that time, the British parliament was opposed to sending troops to China, and it was Victoria who allowed the British expeditionary force to cross more than half the world and finally occupy Hong Kong.

This is a legendary queen, a woman who was revered by the aristocracy of all of Europe, and her name even represents an era, an era of British global domination.

Karl married Victoria's eldest daughter, which has always been the pride of the Prussian royal family, and Britain has naturally become an important ally in the rise of Prussia, and Queen Victoria certainly hopes that her son-in-law can become stronger and stronger, but only if she does not challenge Britain's maritime interests.

Karl looked at his father and said softly, "Six years ago, during the British and French attack on China, the British army had secretly conducted a real battle, and they randomly selected a hundred Chinese to record their physical fitness and ......IQ through various tests."

"The results are very surprising, those Chinese are a little weaker than Europeans in terms of physical fitness, but basically due to their diet, as for IQs, these Chinese are not bad at all, and even the average IQ is higher than the average of Europeans......"

"What does this mean? This can only show one point, China is not weak at all, Chinese is not a barbarian, and the ancient civilization of thousands of years is absolutely impossible for a group of fools to create a ...... of zào"

"Hehe......" Carl smiled softly, "do you really think I'm a reckless and impulsive person? You're wrong, I'm all disrespectful to these Chinese, just because I'm afraid..."

"You heard it right, I am really afraid of this nation, I am afraid that even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty can't tell how many people there is in China, whether it is 200 million or 300 million? I'm afraid no one knows, and the military observation team that came to Europe this time is only 300 people, and I don't need to calculate what kind of proportion this number is compared with the total population of the Qing Dynasty......

"What a terrible thing is this? If there is a high-quality talent like this officer corps among the 10,000 Chinese, then we in Europe will face a catastrophe, a historic catastrophe......

Having said this, everyone understood, William I looked at his son with a little dull eyes, and he suddenly felt that his son had been studying in England for all these years, not only was he proud of marrying the eldest princess, but Carl's studies were not as bad as he thought.

"Karl, what do you have in mind to say, there are no outsiders here," said William I kindly.

Karl nodded, "Europe, it is the Europe of Europeans, we have lived together for thousands of years, we have lived on this land since ancient Greece and ancient Rome, of course, Prussia at that time was just a wild land......"

"Fortunately, we were guided by God, and under the leadership of the Pope, Europe was soon covered by the same cultural sphere. Yes, we believe in the same God, we believe in the same values, and we have an aristocratic cultural circle linked by blood......"

"The royal families of the whole of Europe, except for the alternative of the Napoleonic family in France, the rest can be traced back to the same line, and the royal families of various countries are all kinship, in fact, the whole of Europe is a big family......"

"There are a lot of contradictions between us, and we have experienced a long war, but this is more like a conflict between a big family because of the unfair distribution of property, and we are essentially a national ......"

"What about the rise of Britain, the strength of France, the marriage between the royal families, the flow of ordinary people, will naturally bring about the mutual exchange of science and technology, as well as the mutual circulation of wealth, in the long run, we are a prosperous family, nothing more than different stages, led by different countries......"

Speaking of this, Karl raised his head and drained the wine in front of him, and sighed, "But China is different, it is an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years, their culture has its own heritage, they are completely different from us, and what is even more terrifying is that this nation has led the human world for thousands of years......"

"From the ancient Roman era to the Middle Ages, from the Renaissance to the Age of Discovery, China has always been a country of gold wealth in the hearts of Europeans, and how much gold and silver have we exported for their silk and porcelain?"

"How much of the wealth plundered by the heroic soldiers of Europe from Africa, North and South America, and the Indian continent with their blood and lives was eaten up by the gold-swallowing vortex of China? In order to solve the problem of trade deficit, the British have already begun to sell opium and even use their troops to take risks, which shows the terror ...... China."

Karl's hand trembled a little, and what he said was a nightmare hidden deep in the hearts of Europeans. Don't look at the fact that Europe has beaten the Qing Dynasty to the north now, but in their subconscious, the fear of China has not completely disappeared.

Karl was a little excited, he slapped the table and shouted, "The Chinese, especially the Han, have lost their heroism by being ruled by a barbaric alien race, that is, the Manchus." This is not the case with Chinese in history......"

"The Manchus suppressed China's national fortunes, which is a great fortune for our whole Europe, if China is now in the middle of an aggressive period like the Han and Tang Dynasties, do you think Europe can bargain from them?"

Speaking of which, there is no need to go into details, even the waiters present can understand it. Prince Karl's attitude was very clear, he used to look down on the Chinese because of their weakness, but now that the Chinese have shown their blood bravery, he is worried.

Yes, the Chinese are weaker, Europe can still get a little cheap, if all the Chinese are as powerful as Xiao Letian's men, I am afraid that the whole of Europe will tremble and cannot sleep.

At this time, even Bismarck was speechless, and a strange scene even appeared in his mind, on the beacon tower of the Great Wall, Xiao Lotian was reviewing his army. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Chinese troops, rolled forward under his feet.

"Ancient China, if it could have such an elite army of two or three hundred thousand, I am afraid that no country would dare to invade their territory...... If China had a few million such troops, I am afraid that it would be an easy task to set foot in Europe..."At the most critical moment, the elder Moltke spoke, suppressing the atmosphere of the luncheon to the extreme.

Xiao Letian didn't know that he was now at a life-and-death juncture, and these European nobles even had the intention of assassinating him, and they would never let an Asian threaten the status of Europe.

Just as the dining room was solemn, the door suddenly opened, and a court attendant hurriedly entered, standing beside William I, whispering a few words and handing over a piece of information.

After reading this information at a glance, William I began to look a little incredible, and then his expression became very relaxed, stroking his beard and smiling, "Nian... Let everyone hear this latest information. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty...... "The guard officer cleared his throat "The latest information from Frankfurt, Xiao Lotian was heading towards Hamburg in a patent and woke up from a coma at nine o'clock this morning...... When the Prime Minister of the Ryukyus heard that the proportion of battle losses was as high as one-third, he was completely out of control and wept bitterly, and the two Chinese officers could not control him......"

Xiao Lotian simply ignored the heavy victory achieved by his army, and the whole person was very emotional, he cried, scolded angrily, and even beat those who dissuaded him...... Moreover, the Prime Minister of the East regretted very much that he had made this rescue plan, and he even shouted that if he had known this, he should have entered into diplomatic negotiations with the French, and would rather let these officers return home in vain than let them die......"

When the information was read at this, everyone present was dumbfounded, especially Prince Karl and Bismarck, who was sitting opposite, stared at each other, and no one dared to believe the authenticity of this information.

Only old Moltke snatched the information sheet, looked at it twice, and said, "It's Paul... I know him, he's a very strict and loyal intelligence officer, and there's nothing wrong with the news he delivers... It's a pity, I thought Xiao Letian was a hero, but I didn't expect him to be so weak in his heart......"
