"The Prussians are really disappointing!" Finn? Bronner, the commander of the German 1st Infantry Division, sat on a barrel cart and looked contemptuously at the dusty battlefield. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Bronner, who is only thirty-three years old this year, is a representative of the young and strong officers of the German army, who are often from poor backgrounds and who have come into contact with internationalism and have made a name for themselves in the German revolution. Of course, Bronner was especially trusted by the president, Mr. Marnes, so he was able to become the commander of the 1st Division.

"Comrade division commander, the 7th Division has arrived at its destination 12 hours ahead of schedule, has broken through the Prussian defenses in Wittenberg and is advancing in the direction of Potsdam." The Signal Corps saluted Bronner.

Grach, the political commissar of the 1st Division, commented with a smile: "I didn't expect that this group of Alsatians who had just joined the republic fought quite well. ”

Bronner also said: "When they were still the French Rhine Army, they were quite a fighting force. This time from Alsace directly transferred to the Eastern Front, the first batch of equipment from Datang were replaced by them, in addition to the artillery is not good, the combat effectiveness has been improved by more than one grade, if even the Prussian defense force that is smaller than their own scale can not be defeated, then there is really no face left in the sequence of our German army. ”

Grach continued to laugh and said: "Our first division can't weaken the name of the German army. ”

Bronner confidently said: "This is natural, we are going to march into Berlin before the 7th and 5th Divisions!" ”

Taking advantage of the formation of the anti-French alliance, Germany almost unexpectedly chose to shake hands with France, and instead transferred a large number of troops to the Eastern Front and fought Prussia. The timing was almost impossible to fault with. Because from the second half of last year. Prussia was already engaged in the partition of Poland with Russia. In addition, seeing Germany and France competing on the Western Front, they also relatively relaxed their defense. Frederick itself? Wilhelm II was not a military monarch, and the Prussian army under him was at this time in a relatively weak period. The wolf-like Germans crossed the Elbe and dealt a heavy blow to Prussia.

The German army, with up to 50,000 men, easily broke the resistance of the Prussian army, and the troops were directed towards Berlin, the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia.

This can be said to have stunned Prussia, Frederick? Wilhelm II hurriedly dispatched Prussian troops from Poland. Preparing to return to defend Berlin, his field marshal Karl was also ordered to command a Prussian army of up to 80,000 and prepare to lose a battle with the Germans. It's just that the Prussian army withdrew from Poland on the front foot, and there was chaos on the Polish side again.

The Polish National Revolution cooperated with the actions of the German army and launched one revolt after another in Poland, and countless Poles, armed only with rudimentary weapons, participated in the partisans and advance teams under the command of the National Revolution, attacking the military camps and government institutions in the Prussian occupation zone. Although this action did not play a crucial role, it was a source of annoyance to the Prussians. And it bleeds constantly.

Guo Xin, the military adviser of Datang who was still in Germany at this time, met with Han Shitong, the Tang ambassador to Germany.

"I have to say. Marnes is still very strategically minded. Guo Xin commented.

Han Shitong asked, "How do you say that?" ”

"The main forces of the German army are storming Berlin, I believe it won't be long, Frederick? Wilhelm II was about to flee. At the same time, the Germans had a route from Dresden to attack Silesia and eventually prepare to enter Poland. After this line was opened, the Germans could supply weapons and other supplies to the Polish Revolution, arm the Poles, and join forces against Prussia, which would be in danger. ”

Han Shitong nodded, agreeing with Guo Xin's statement, but he also raised an objection: "Although the Polish National Revolution has also been developed for nearly ten years, its influence in Poland is not particularly large, and the main armed forces of Poland are still in the hands of its government. The Russians also carved up Poland, and if the Poles make a fuss, Russia may also do it. After all, in eastern Poland, Tsarist Russia had 100,000 troops. Moreover, could Austria and other countries sit idly by and watch Prussia be wiped out by Germany? According to normal logic, Germany is preparing to unify Germany, Prussia has fallen, and Austria may be next, and the Habsburgs are old families who play with European politics, and they will not see this clearly, so they will definitely send troops to intervene. ”

Guo Xindao: "The problems you mentioned do exist, so if the German army wants to win, it must quickly defeat Prussia, and they now have this ability." As far as Russia is concerned, we Datang can exert some diplomatic pressure on them, Russia has just signed a large order in our country, and we can use many ways to choke the neck of the Russians. Russia's enemy is not only Poland, but they have been fighting Turkey for hundreds of years, and it is a good way to encourage Turkey to do it. As for Austria, Germany was coordinating closely with the French in the hope that they would be able to contain the Austrian army in the direction of northern Italy. We, the Tang Dynasty, are also supporting Napoleon's leadership in launching the Italian campaign. Then the Austrians will be in a difficult position, and the whole situation will be changed. ”

The ambassador sighed: "This war in Europe is really quite complicated. ”

Guo Xin said with a smile: "Fortunately, our Datang did not take direct action, but used the means of diplomacy, politics and military aid to provoke larger-scale turmoil in Europe, which is completely in line with our interests." The more the Europeans fought, the less they could safely go to the industrial revolution and develop their own national power and economy, and the less able they were to open up new colonies. And this is the best time for our Datang to stake its territory in the world. ”

Han Shidao: "There are also voices in China who want to suspend our exploration of global colonies and develop our existing land with heart. After all, our territory is already very large, and after the annexation of the Qing State in a few years, it is even more likely to become the largest country in human history, and most of our land is not developed enough, and it is not particularly wise to blindly seize land. ”

Guo Xin waved his hand and said: "That being said, it is always not wrong to occupy the pit first and then." However, in places like the Middle East and India, the interests are complicated, and it is not a lot of trouble to rush into it at this time, and my country is not willing to fight a huge colonial war now, but there are still many places that are more suitable for us to develop from scratch.
