Chapter 181: An ominous premonition
The first update
Napoleon had long been familiar with preparing such things with both hands. Ostensibly, he has sent a lot of arms to his Russian allies, but behind the scenes, he has also supplied weapons to Turkey. It's just that it is not a direct supply of weapons, but a secret transfer of military aid to the Turkish side through the transit of Great Britain.
He was not stupid, he was also on the lookout for Tsar Alexander II, and in the end the Russians had to pay a terrible price to capture the Ottoman Turks, but no one could guarantee that this time they would swallow Constantinople and divide Europe with Germany in a profitable situation.
A casual mistake could lead to the rise of Russia, and France only hopes that Britain will not hide its strength, and go up when it is time to go, and Paris just needs to stand aside and shout 666.
As a symbolic measure, France and Russia agreed to send a combat unit to the border line to fight soy sauce, anyway, France did not attack, and Great Britain was the real main force against Russia.
Napoleon breathed a sigh of relief when he had done the secret manoeuvre, and then he was able to concentrate on the threat from the north, just as he had expected. When Bismarck saw an overwhelming situation, his eager ambition finally exploded. Germany sent troops directly in an attempt to directly occupy large swathes of northern France in order to coerce Paris into surrendering.
The offensive of the German army began, this time Bismarck had the support of Russia, and finally he was no longer petty, before only two armies were put into the test, and now he put nearly half of the troops in the last Franco-Prussian War to the border line in one go, and it was still planned by Moltke for staff planning and fighting.
This time, however, the General Staff was not as well prepared as before, because the declaration of war was announced in such a hurry that it led to a serious consequence.
Although the Prussian army was well prepared, they had to face a very awkward situation. The strategic plan drawn up by the General Staff was quite different from Bismarck's expectations.
Bismarck's previous encounter was to occupy all of France with all his might, and once again tried to capture the capital of the other side, fulfilling his last wish. However, Moltke, based on the intelligence fed back from the front, had realized that the French had deployed heavy troops in the north, so they should focus all their attention on the north and crush all the French troops with all their might. Take a steady and steady form, rather than rushing forward.
In the end, it was thanks to Minister Ron's coordination that an agreement was reached.
Bismarck was too eager to take France and complete his strategic plan of revenge, but he also sensed that time was running out because the British were already on the move, and Germany would have to evacuate if their ally Russia lost the war.
The rash advance was the first serious mistake Bismarck made, which directly led to the rash start of the attack on France without the logistics keeping up at all, and their experience and intelligence in the French war were stuck in the war seven years ago, and they did not think at all about the changes in the military reform of the French army.
The first line of defense was responsible for luring the enemy into depth, the second line of defense was responsible for blocking the enemy's attack through trenches, barbed wire, artillery and mines, and the Metz Army was to flank the German movement from both sides and hold them back and hold them back in the northern part of France.
However, to Napoleon's surprise, Britain sent an expeditionary force of 5,000 troops to land in the Normandy area of France, responsible for coordinating operations to defend against the German attack.
Without turning back, Bismarck's Young Conservatives, a young generation of Junker officers, were ready for a war that they desperately wanted to change Germany's current situation and deal a fatal blow to their old rival France.
In their eyes, France is a declining power, the last obstacle to their hegemony in Europe. If France can be defeated, then Germany will become an unstoppable empire.
Of course, what they saw was an illusion that Napoleon wanted them to see.
From the end of the Franco-Prussian War to the current war crisis, France finally ushered in a turning point in its development.
This time they're going to be ashamed!
However, from the very beginning of the war, the German ** team tasted the bitterness.
Under the cover of artillery fire, they crossed the border line and began to break through into France, but they did not expect that as soon as they entered France, they were blocked by powerful French artillery fire!
Makqin cooperated with the new Shasebo rifle to form an exaggerated firepower network! As long as the German army rushed forward, it was equivalent to becoming a moving target.
Corpses, the plains were littered with corpses, and on the first day of the war, the losses were far greater than they could have imagined.
The scorching plains, the corpses lying on the ground spread out layer by layer, and the French only now realized the power of this reaper reaper.
The bulky body with the large-caliber ammunition is enough to tear anyone in front of him to pieces!
At the beginning, no matter how many times the Germans charged, they never returned.
And the artillery fire of the French army is not the same as it was seven years ago, and the Krupp artillery does not even occupy an advantage in range. French positional warfare
"What the hell have these French done, why haven't the troops crossed the line so far, what are they doing!"
Moltke, after receiving the operational report from the front at the General Staff, felt that he had completely miscalculated and underestimated the strength of the French.
Although it was impossible for them to defeat the German army, the strong military force was enough for the German staff to drink a pot.
Ron handed the information to Moltke, sighed, and said, "The report from the front is that the French are well prepared this time, and it seems that they have expected us to attack. Even the deployment of troops in the northern region was completed ahead of schedule. Our previous prediction was correct, the French did not weaken because of international weakness, but secretly increased their army. ”
"The front line also reported that the small arms and artillery used by the French were not seen before, and it seems that the Berlin staff intelligence department has made serious mistakes in intelligence in recent years, and Paris has made small moves under its nose, and none of us have found out?"
Ron's reply made Moltke's face pale, and he muttered to himself, "Chancellor Ron, I have a bad feeling right now. ”8)
