Finally, with the loud cry of a baby, a young new life came into the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What a young lady......" Sara looked at the lovely baby girl who was still crying in her arms, and lovingly gave her the first kiss since she came into this world.

After finishing his work, Evans washed his bloodied hands, packed up his things, and quietly left. At this time, everyone in the house gathered around Sarah's mother and daughter, sharing the surprise of the birth of a new life, and no one noticed the departure of the young intern.

When he returned to the clinic, his teacher, Dr. Albert, had returned.

"Where have you been?"

"I ...... To help a pregnant woman who was born prematurely......"

"What? Who gave you permission to go to the clinic? ”

"Listen to me, sir, if I don't help her, it's likely that both she and her children will die......"

"Shut up! You are self-medicating behind my back, and you dare to quibble! ”

"Sir, if I don't look at it, two innocent lives will be lost, and God will not forgive me!"

"Get out! Get out of here! Get out of here! I don't want to see you again! ”

Evans packed his belongings and left Dr. Albert's office and headed out onto the street.

Now he doesn't know where to go.

Evans, walking aimlessly down the street, saw a newsboy selling a newspaper, so he bought a copy and read it.

"France renounces its territorial claims to Belgium......"

"The contents of Ames's telegram to Berlin were published, France was humiliated, and war seemed inevitable......"

Seeing that the newspaper was full of news about the tense situation in Europe and the imminent war, Evans felt a little annoyed and put the newspaper away.

However, when he remembered the baby girl who was born safely in the office through his own hand, he still felt a sense of relief in his heart.

War is to kill people, and he does not understand why people would crave war.

For him, the birth of a new life is something to be happy and concerned about.

Evans was walking slowly forward when a carriage came to a halt beside him.

He was wondering when an old Chinese man with long braids opened the car door, jumped out, and saw Evans with a hint of joy on his face.

"Are you Mr. Evans?" The old man asked in fluent English.

"Yes." Evans nodded.

"Get in the car!" The old man said happily, "The mistress of our house wants to see you." ”

Evans hesitated, but got into the carriage anyway.

When Evans arrived at Chen's house and saw that Sara was holding the baby was the same pregnant woman he had delivered at the general manager's office at Rotchild Bank, he immediately understood.

"Hello, Mr. Evans." Sara hugged her daughter and saluted Evans, "I'm so glad to see you again." ”

"Me too, ma'am." Evans bowed back.

"Thanks to you today, I really don't know how to thank you."

"To see that you and your children are all safe is the greatest happiness God has given me. You are born prematurely, so you must take care of your body and supplement your nutrition in time. ”

"Would you like to be your family's personal doctor?"

"What do you say? Madam? ”

"I know it's presumptuous, but I know that you're a good doctor, so I can't help but make such a request to you."

"Thank you, ma'am, but I don't have a medical license yet......"

"It's not a question, I'm asking you, would you like to be our family's personal doctor?"

"Then I will be honored, ma'am."

At this moment, Chen Hong, who was far away in Paris, did not know that his daughter had come to this world more than 20 days in advance, nor did he know the danger experienced by Sarah's mother and daughter. He had also just learned that France would declare war on Prussia the next day. Moreover, his emperor's father-in-law had already decided that he would take the crown prince Louis on a personal expedition.

Chen Hong couldn't understand why Napoleon III would make such a big move because of a telegram this time.

In 1868, the Spanish mutiny overthrew Queen Isabella II, and in 1870, when the Spaniards chose the king, they took into account the Prussian Hohenzollern family's distant relative in Swabia, Prince Leopold, and the French government and the opposition were naturally worried about the recurrence of the situation in which the Habsburgs had the German and Spanish thrones to encircle France 350 years ago, so the French government lodged a strong protest. King Wilhelm of Prussia himself was not enthusiastic about his relatives' succession to the Spanish throne and declared that he did not support it (much to Bismarck's disappointment). France insisted that King William clearly guarantee it, which seemed to be an insult to the honor of the nobility at the time, and King William naturally refused. Prime Minister Bismarck and Chief of Staff Moltke had long wanted to go to war with France, and Bismarck's slightly changed tone of a telegram of refusal "Ames Telegram", which easily aroused the anger of Napoleon III and the French people (despite the secret letter of Hayashi Yoshizhe, Napoleon III still did not suppress his anger), and without preparing for war, the hot-headed French people asked the emperor to punish the Prussians, and Napoleon III agreed to the people's request. The war between France and Prussia began in earnest.

Most French people do not know that Bismarck and Moltke have been waiting for this day for four years.

Prussia's preparations for war were much more thorough and meticulous than those of the French, and the Prussian general mobilization plan, after many years of study and several implementations, can be said to have reached the point of perfection, and in just 20 days, the Prussian army of 385,000 men was fully mobilized and assembled, as accurate as a clock, no more and no less. The Prussian Field Corps is divided into three group armies, from north to south: the 1st Army of Steinmetz is 60,000 men, under the jurisdiction of the 7th and 8th armies and 1 cavalry division; Prince Frederick-Wilhelm's 2nd Army had 130,000 men, including the 3rd, 4th, and 10th armies, the Guards Division and two cavalry divisions, and the Crown Prince's 3rd Army of 130,000 people, with the Prussian 5th and 11th armies, the Bavarian 1st and 2nd armies, the Württemberg Division, and the Baden Division. The headquarters under the command of King Wilhelm and Chief of the General Staff Moltke was stationed in Mainz, and directly controlled the 60,000-strong reserve of the Prussian 9th Army and the Saxon 12th Army.

In fact, the French army at the time of the war was far more experienced than the Prussian army, Prussia had not fought for 50 years before the Danish War, while France defeated Russia in the Crimean War, easily won the war with China in the Far East, defeated Austria in Italy, and the colonial war in North Africa. Marshals like Bazin and McMahon are all figures who have been tested by war and have made outstanding achievements. However, the experience of war is useless if there is no mind to sum up and improve it, and this mind can be the genius mind of an individual commander-in-chief, or the "brain of the army" of the General Staff. What the French army lacked was precisely this brain.

From the beginning of the general mobilization, the French army experienced an endless nightmare: a typical French soldier, who may live in Lyon, has to go to Algeria in North Africa to collect equipment and clothing, and then carry these things to report to the Brittany Peninsula in southwest France, and then assemble and sail to Charon in northeastern France. As a result, the generals could not find the troops, the soldiers could not find the guns, the fortresses could not find ammunition, and the corps could not find food. The French army's war plan was exactly as Moltke had predicted: Marshal MacMahon's army group was concentrated in the Strasbourg salient, and Marshal Bazin's Rhine Army group of 135,000 men was concentrated in Metz, and soon under the personal command of Napoleon III. In addition, at Chalon, 90 miles west of Metz and into the heart of France, the French army had assembled a reserve corps.

It may be that the previous experience of "invincibility" gave the French extreme self-confidence, and the French soldiers actually thought that Prussia was vulnerable, and crossed the Rhine with majesty, high spirits, and chaos before the assembly was completed. Marshal McMahon's Strasbourg Corps on the South Road seized Wissenburg with only one division on August 4, and the 5th Army of the 3rd Army of the Prussian Crown Prince immediately counterattacked, and two other corps assisted, with 50,000 men against the French 6,000 men, the French army was raided, the division commander was killed, and almost the entire division was destroyed. The next day, 15 miles to the southwest, the Prussian 5th Corps rammed into the positions of the French 6th Army, where 42,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry were gathered in five French infantry divisions and one cavalry division. Before the battle, the French army itself was in disarray: they had neither reconnaissance nor sentry posts, the 50,000-strong army had only 6,000 rations, and the French soldiers, who were concerned about their civil rights and welfare, complained that a large amount of food was finally delivered that morning, and the French soldiers were cooking, and the Prussian army arrived. The vanguard of the Prussian 5th Army entered the battle without pause, and soon the 3rd Army arrived and engaged in the battle, and McMahon's Strasbourg Army came to reinforce it, so that an encounter eventually turned into a major battle between the main southern armies of the two armies.

In this battle, the French soldiers showed great bravery, and the Prussian armies also fought hard one by one. The Prussian 11th Army infiltrated the rear of the French army according to a predetermined plan, and McMahon ordered a retreat for fear of being surrounded by the Prussian army. Two French cavalry brigades, acting as cover, charged the Prussian army's dense infantry formation, suffering three-quarters casualties. During these two days of fighting, the French lost a total of 25,000 men. The Prussian losses were heavier than those of the French, but strategically the Prussian army was victorious: Macmahon was forced to retreat from Strasbourg, ignoring the Bazin Army Group across the Vosges Mountains to the north, and retreated all the way west past Metz until the rear of Chalon. The French offensive was not smooth from the start.
