Crown Prince William's car is a Mercedes-Benz.

It is a convertible sedan with a boat-shaped body, and the tail that slopes like the bow of a boat is distinctive. Because there was now rain in the sky, the normally folded canvas canopy was propped up to protect Crown Prince Wilhelm and his chief of staff, Fritz Rosenberg, from the wind and rain.

Although there is now an energy crisis in Germany, this does not affect the level of Crown Prince Wilhelm, who has to travel, and his fuel tank is always full.

Such treatment was only available to a few, and most of the soldiers had to struggle in the mud, and in order to make way for the cars and cavalry, the infantry walked on the side of the road, which could hardly be called an auxiliary road, but a swamp at all.

The difficulty of maneuvering in the swamp was understandable, and the soldiers carried heavy individual equipment on their backs, and they had to laboriously pull their feet out of the mud and then pull out the other, and so on, and so on, the troops advanced at a speed of less than a kilometer per hour.

The cavalry was even more difficult, because the road conditions were not good, the horses could no longer carry the cavalry, and the cavalry had to not only walk with difficulty on their own, but also help their horses. As long as it stops, the horse's hooves will sink deeper and deeper into the mud, and will soon sink into the position of the horse's legs, and even into the horse's belly, at this time the cavalry must be forced to give up the "brothers" who get along with them day and night, because it is impossible to get out of the military horses that are stuck in the mud by manpower alone.

The difficulty of marching in such a difficult environment can be imagined.

If Chen Kangjian's armored soldiers were mud monkeys half a day ago, then the Germans now are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and they themselves are difficult to protect.

Looking at the embarrassed soldiers outside the car window, Crown Prince William didn't have the heart to speak.

If this were on weekdays, William **** might have gotten out of the car to put on a show, but not now, Crown Prince William's heart was full of frustration and loss, and he didn't have the heart to put on a show.

For Crown Prince William at this time, how to bring troops back to Reims, how to face the accusations that will surely come, how to revive the royal reputation that has fallen to the bottom, and so on are the most important things.

None of the contemplative Crown Prince Wilhelm dared to disturb him, and even Crown Prince Wilhelm's attendants had to send a telegram through Fritz Rosenberg, who was sitting next to Crown Prince Wilhelm.

"Chinese tanks have rushed to our positions, long live Germany......" Fritz Rosenberg's face was full of shock, and he raised his wrist to look at the watch on his wrist: "How is this possible, it is only 35 minutes, even if 15,000 pigs are caught by Chinese, it is impossible to catch them in 35 minutes!" ”

"Long live Germany...... It seems that General Baker has failed......" Crown Prince Wilhelm's voice was not high, showing that he was depressed and did not report any confidence in what was to come.

"Your Highness, no matter what happens, I think you must cheer up." Fritz Rosenberg was shocked and did not forget to offer his own advice.

"Yes, Fritz, I'll pull myself together, defeat won't break me, it will make me stronger." Crown Prince William quickly adjusted.

In fact, for these children of the nobility who received elite education since childhood, the proportion of waste firewood among them is still very low, at least lower than that of civilian families. For example, Crown Prince William, who was born in Potsdam, began to receive elite education when he was young, and more than a dozen private teachers were responsible for a part, and when Prince William became an adult, he entered the Potsdam Military Academy to receive systematic military education.

It's a pity that it is limited to this era, when facing Qin Zhiyuan, who has surpassed this era, not to mention Crown Prince William, who has received more than ten years of education, even Fritz Rosenberg, who has lived and studied most of his life, is not an opponent.

"If possible, I really want to meet that Qin and talk to him, I think, it will be a very interesting thing." Crown Prince William had a lot of thoughts.

"Your Highness, this matter can be considered later, if you want to invite Qin, I think he will be very happy." Fritz Rosenberg did not want to attack the newly freed Crown Prince Wilhelm.

There are some things that Fritz Rosenberg doesn't want to say. If he can't return to Reims safely, then Crown Prince William will become Qin Zhiyuan's prisoner, and at that time, Crown Prince William will have time to chat with Qin Zhiyuan slowly.

"Order the troops to speed up, we have to muster up courage, Qin's troops may be chasing after them, but they will definitely not be able to catch up, we are struggling forward, and Qin's troops are not much better." Crown Prince William was confident.

Well, it's not a race to see who can run faster, it's a race to climb faster, and the winner's reward is the world's attention, and the loser's reward is the world's attention.

Compared with Crown Prince William's legion, which was struggling in the mud, and Qin Zhiyuan's first division, Chen Kangjian, who had already broken away from the "swamp", ran extremely fast on the hard road paved with stones.

After a hiccup at the checkpoint, Chan summoned his six tank company commanders to discuss a simple battle plan.

The armored units of the 1st Division were organized in a three-three system, and the combat squad organized as a grassroots organization consisted of three tanks, and a company had a total of 12 tanks. Although there were six tank company commanders present, there were only 58 tanks, and the rest were still struggling in the mud or lying on their stomachs on the way waiting for rescue.

"Our task is to seize control of the Tadenoy area and make sure that not a single German passes through it, the known guard force is only one regiment, and now it seems that the enemy has more troops than one, at least two regiments." Chen Kangjian talked eloquently.

Two soldiers were captured at the outpost, and although nothing was known whether they were alive or rescued, the number of the unit to which they belonged could still be seen from the markings on their helmets and collars.

Chen Kangjian said that the enemy had at least two regiments, and that was because only two soldiers had been captured, when in fact Tadenoy now had three regiments of German troops.

"We can choose to control steadily, or we can choose to raid, defeat all the enemies, and wrap these two regiments in dumplings first, what do you think?" Chen Kangjian seems to be practicing democracy.

"Brother Chen, you have the final say."

"Commander, you can arrange it."

"Our brothers listen to you, we will do whatever you want!"

The tank company commanders were not fooled, and they unanimously demanded that Chen Kangjian be dictatorial.

"Okay, then let's them, wrap them in dumplings, and we'll have a fat year......" Chen Kangjian has a big appetite.

With less than 60 tanks attacking nearly 6,000 German troops, Chen Kangjian's appetite is really not small, but he doesn't know if he will be held to death.
