At the headquarters of the 1st Prussian Army Corps in France, Commander Karl Friedrich von Steinmetz was talking with Bismarck's Chancellor, Kai Kai.

The sudden change in Paris, the capital of France, forced Chancellor Bismarck, who had returned to Berlin after signing the treaty, to rush to the front again, and Bismarck was extremely sensitive to the news of the sudden turmoil in France, because Germany now needed the stability and calm of France until the 5 billion francs of reparations fell into the trouser pocket of the nascent German Empire.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I have received the latest information, the attack on the capital of the French was the army under the command of a 'demon' that appeared in Europe more than 70 years ago, he claimed to be called Lin Haoda, there is nothing surprising about him himself, his terrifying ability is that he can summon groups of troops who are fully trained in military training and are not afraid of death out of thin air!

This time, it was this Lin Haoda, who came from the sky to the outside of Paris, the capital of France, with a small number of troops but with very advanced weapons, and defeated the defenders of Paris, France in one day, and arrested more than ninety percent of the members of the government of the French Third Republic who did not react.

However, after this Lin Haoda occupied Paris, the capital of France, he whimsically took more than 10,000 people to claim that he wanted to drive the imperial ** team out of France. Carl Friedrich von Steinmetz had a contempt for that Lin Haoda in his eyes.

As a veteran of the battlefield, he will not be frightened by Lin Haoda's former fame, and the outcome of the Franco-Prussian War has proved that the number of troops in today's war is the decisive factor.

France's defeat to Prussia was due to the fact that France started the war in a hurry and the command system was immature, but the most fundamental reason for the defeat was the lack of mobilization of the army.

After the start of the war, the French army of more than 500,000 on paper, only more than 300,000 actually went to the battlefield, and the poor logistics system greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of most soldiers.

On the other hand, Prussia, which implemented the compulsory military service system at that time, had more than one million mobilized troops on paper, and more than 500,000 were drawn to the battlefield to attack France at the first time, but France was defeated too quickly, so that the follow-up soldiers prepared by Prussia ended the war without using them......

The advantage in strength allowed Prussia to boldly penetrate and outflank France, and attack the few elite legions in France, with the result that the French army's front was broken through, and the elite legions that could be fought fell into various encirclements, and were compressed little by little, until they were finally besieged, surrendered or shed blood in the breakthrough!

In the Franco-Prussian War, the Franco-Prussian army was even able to reach a 2-to-1 gap, coupled with the superiority of the Prussian army's artillery and the disparity in the quality of the army, it became a matter of course that the French army was defeated in a few weeks.

Because of this, from a military point of view, Lin Haoda only led more than 10,000 troops to attack the French occupation zone where Prussia was garrisoned by three corps, and the 500,000 daring divisions that had just won the Franco-Prussian War were hitting stones with eggs no matter how you look at it.

The fact that the German Empire was able to obtain such detailed intelligence also reflected the efficient battlefield intelligence collection capabilities of the nascent German Empire, which at this time had not yet figured out who was the initiator of the chaos in the French capital......

"Marshal Karl, I have checked the top secret archives of the Empire about Lin Haoda, this person cannot be judged according to common sense, according to the analysis of his predecessors, he should have the ability to summon troops through war and killing, at the beginning of the French Revolution, he only had a few thousand guns under his hands, but with the continuous conquest, in the final face of the anti-French alliance, he has hundreds of thousands of troops!

If it weren't for the fact that the anti-French alliance gathered the forces of the whole of Europe to encircle and suppress it, and Lin Haoda suddenly disappeared and lost the ability to replenish the army, the war would not have ended so quickly. Chancellor Bismarck replied cautiously.

After Carl Friedrich von Steinmetz heard Bismarck's words, he gradually put away the contempt on his face, and solemnly stated: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please rest assured, this time my First Army will not give Lin Haoda any chance to delay the war, the current war situation is completely different from the era of flintlock pistols, we have a developed railway network, and the mobility of the army has also been greatly improved, if he does not take the initiative to attack, we may have to spend a certain amount of time to catch Lin Haoda, But now Lin Haoda himself has led more than 10,000 people to attack our army's defense line, and it won't be long before my first army can surround it!

Even if the army under Lin Haoda is advanced in weapons and the soldiers are not afraid of death, I use ten people to beat him alone, he should always be able to win, I have already drawn up the battle plan, when the news of Lin Haoda's army launched an attack on our army's position came yesterday, I ordered Bidian Feldt's First Army and the First and Third Cavalry Divisions to outflank Lin Haoda's flank, with the speed of the cavalry division, Lin Haoda would be too late even if he wanted to turn around, not to mention that the battle was easy to fight, and it was not a simple matter to break away.

As long as the 1st and 3rd Cavalry Divisions block the retreat of Lin Haoda's division, and the 1st Army led by General Bidianfeldt follows up to establish an encirclement line, we can wait for the support of the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army Corps, and then 500,000 troops will gather together to launch a general attack on Lin Haoda's headquarters in the encirclement, and the war will be over.

I think that as long as Lin Haoda dies, the troops he put in Paris will become powerless, Lin Haoda's troops are all composed of yellow-skinned Asians of the same species as him, it is impossible to be transferred from the Far East, it can only be really from the sky, if there is no Lin Haoda's ability, this kind of army will be wiped out sooner or later.

Moreover, Lin Haoda's self-proclaimed Han army troops implemented a high-pressure military control policy against the French in Paris, and only a small number of the previously defeated French prisoners were incorporated into the local police force, and most of the others were concentrated in the cultivated land occupied by Lin Haoda's army as farmers and farms.

I also got the news that among the French prisoners of war, except for a few officers whose entire families had defected to Lin Haoda and were released, all the other French officers above the rank of second lieutenant had disappeared inexplicably! ”

After hearing this, Bismarck asked abruptly: "Marshal Karl, did you just say that the battle began yesterday?" ”

Carl Friedrich von Steinmetz was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Yes, is there any problem?" ”
