The command headquarters was quiet all of a sudden, old Moltke didn't expect Xiao Letian to grab this task, it stands to reason that he should reject his request categorically, but he has already said it here just now, and it would be really unkind to regret it.

Didn't you say that these Eastern mixed battalions should be used to repair bridges and roads? Didn't you say that they could only be used as an engineer regiment? Then Xiao Letian simply thought that he was an engineer regiment, and I would repair the telegraph line.

And the troops of both of my battalions are going to be heralds, you can't still think of this kind of task as incompetent, right?

Seeing that old Moltke was deflated, Xiao Letian took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Your Excellency Chief of General Staff, you must know that the battlefield is in the south, and the direction we are going is due west, if you think that we are not competent for such a task, then I can only conclude that you have discriminated against our Eastern Legion, and I reserve the right to appeal to His Majesty the King..."

"You..." Old Moltke's beard blown, he never thought that he would be threatened by a Chinese, the old general stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Letian's nose and shouted angrily.

"Don't think that you once taught the French, you think you are the god of war, I tell you the truth... I just don't believe you, you armies from the Middle Ages don't understand what modern warfare is, and I hate it even more that you come to Europe uninvited to make trouble......"

"Just because of your appearance, how many surprises have been caused to us? Do you know how many plans the General Staff has changed because of you? Do you know how many variables you have brought to us just because of the pre-war plan for the Austro-Prussian War?

"You have caused us countless troubles, and now you want to continue to cause trouble? Do you know how annoying this uncontrollable feeling is? Do you know that in war, there are all kinds of unknowns?"

Old Moltke was roaring, and he finally spoke his heart, and it turned out that what he had done was not discrimination at all, but the Prussian national character.

After more than 100 years of baptism of national military service, this nation has been imprinted with a very deep label of order in their genes. There is a joke in later generations that **** people will ask if they have eaten when they meet and say hello, and two Englishmen will ask how the weather is when they meet, and two Prussians will ask if order is still there when they meet together.

This is not a deliberate smear on the part of other peoples, this is really the norm in the life of the Prussians, and you can imagine what kind of society would have become if a man had spent 25 years of his life in the barracks, and all the men of the whole nation had become? What kind of order would have emerged?

The rise of the Prussian nation was not accidental, but inevitable.

Xiao Letian's sudden appearance did disrupt the strategic plan of the Kingdom of Prussia, although there was more China, a big ally, and a large amount of sudden wealth, but these Chinese also angered France.

In previous intelligence, Austria was able to mobilize a total of about 600,000 troops, and the national artillery reserves were probably about 500 pieces. But now, because Xiao Lotian angered Napoleon III, France actually supported 300 Austrian artillery pieces at one time.

This was a full 800 guns, and Austria became the country with the largest army artillery reserves in Europe at that time, and in order to combat this imbalance, the Kingdom of Prussia had to use its own killer Mauser rifle, which was not very mature.

And according to their original plan, this very advanced rifle was to be kept against the French.

Old Mao Qiqi's chest rose and fell vigorously, he stared at Xiao Letian viciously, if it weren't for the diplomatic dispute, he really wanted to rush up and punch him hard, and beat his little white face with a full face.

Xiao Lotian was silent for a while, and when he looked up at old Moltke again, his eyes suddenly revealed a light of grief and indignation.

I only heard Xiao Letian say in a very sad tone: "Yes? Do you think that we Chinese have caused you a lot of trouble? have added countless variables to you? So you are very disgusted with us? Is this why you stopped us from going to the battlefield?"

"You are wrong, you are very wrong, there will always be variables in life, and the uncertainties in this are not only given to you Prussia......" Xiao Lotian suddenly roared, "Look at my eyes, do you want to know what variables are? I tell you now, France has sent an expeditionary fleet straight to East Asia, and they are trying to destroy the foundation of my career, this is the biggest variable..."

"You're just wasting some more time and energy to make a new battle plan, and we're paying with bloody lives, knowing that there are nearly 400,000 people living in Naha, and the French will ......definitely attack indiscriminately in a fit of rage."

Xiao Letian's eyes were a little moist, and he said sadly, "It is never easy for a nation to rise, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved by a few strategic plans.

"Six years ago, when the Anglo-French army broke through the city of Beijing and burned down the summer palace, what was the mood of us Chinese? When Napoleon I defeated Prussia and forced the disintegration of Greater Germany, what was the mood of you Prussians?

"Don't talk to me about any variables, there is nothing immutable in this world, even if you Prussia suffered some losses in this variable, but you will always remember to me, in this great change, it will always be us who will shed the most blood and suffer the most Chinese......"

Xiao Letian was already in tears, he yelled in the command headquarters, calmed everyone for a while, and he even scolded Lao Moltke with a mouthful of Beijing films.

"You don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, do you know how long I've not slept well? As soon as I close my eyes, I see the whole Naha caught in the flames of war, and my dreams are full of blood... God knows if the French fleet has already begun to bomb now, and you are babbling in front of Lao Tzu about what changes......?

Old Moltke obviously couldn't understand Chinese, and he looked at Jonas, the only interpreter present, with confused eyes, and at this time, Jonas had already choked Xiao Letian's words speechless.

How dare he translate it as it is, he can only pick up two sentences that sound good, "Your Excellency Chief of General Staff, Mr. Xiao said that he has not slept well for a long time, and he is now very worried about the situation in the Ryukyu Kingdom...... It is quite possible that now the French fleet has begun to bomb civilians, he said......"

Old Moltke sighed, and the compassion in his heart began to churn. Yes, the variables encountered by Prussia are controllable, and they are limited to the soldiers, and these Asians have paid much more, and the French dare to burn the summer palace in China, then they dare to slaughter innocent people.

"Well, Prime Minister, you have convinced me, since you have to carry out this mission, I can promise you, I hope God bless you..."

Xiao Letian heard this, his heels snapped, and he saluted, "Please rest assured, sir, resolutely complete this mission..."

Old Prince Karl frowned and said, "Is this really possible? If anything happens to the Prime Minister of the East, it will cause diplomatic disputes......

Old Moltke blew his beard and said angrily, "What can I do? I have never seen such a fanatical and belligerent Chinese, this is completely different from the rumored Chinese, if I don't agree to him, I believe he will always pester me and not go, do you think my military order can really order an Eastern prime minister?"

Old Moltke glared at Bismarck fiercely, "I can only order my soldiers, I can't afford to provoke you politicians......" Bismarck's old face was slightly red.

The iron-blooded prime minister's face showed a rare embarrassment, "Hehe, there will be no problems, the West is not the main battlefield after all, they will encounter some small forces of infiltration troops or spies at most, and the strength of two battalions is enough for them to deal with ......"

Old Moltke sighed, "I hope so... But don't forget, the Prime Minister of the East has appeared in the political arena with a series of miracles...... Isn't he just a troublemaker?"

Xiao Letian's two mixed battalions were stationed in the west of the general headquarters, and according to the plan of the Prussian General Staff, this unit said that it could not go to the main battlefield, and according to the original intention of old Moltke, it was necessary to wait until the Prussian regular army won a decisive victory before this unit could pursue deserters or something, and they must not be used in the offensive battle.

Prussia's considerations also have their reasons, on the one hand, the Chinese are friendly forces, they have suffered heavy casualties in France before, and they should not be allowed to die again out of morality, and on the other hand, it is also a defensive psychology in the nature of Europeans against Asians, although Xiao Lotian is a friend of Prussia, but this traditional concept can not be changed in a few months.

"Let's go, hurry up and lead the team to set off, maybe old Moltke will make some trouble after a while, this group of European big noses is a group of cooked ducks, and the mouths are hard......" Xiao Letian immediately turned over and rode straight to the army garrison as soon as he left the headquarters.

"My lord, what's the use of us taking this mission? The main battlefield is in the south, are the troops of our two battalions going to the west to catch spies? And it's still Prince Karl's bastard as a liaison soldier, I really don't feel happy...... "Xiao Hexin has already saved up a stomach just now, and now he can be regarded as finding an opportunity to scatter."

Xiao Letian, who was galloping on horseback, sneered, turned his head to look at the headquarters, and said in a low voice, "Things are not so simple, Austria is also a strong country, do you really think it is so easy to deal with......?

Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun glanced at each other, the two of them have been with Xiao Letian for a long time, and they are already very familiar with the expressions and eyes of adults, it seems that this mission will definitely not be so simple.
