The bloody scenes after the war were shocking, and the continuous corpses and the hasty evacuation of the German troops filled the battlefield with the smell of gunsmoke for the aftermath of the catastrophe. The German army was completely frightened, especially the secret weapon of the French, which was simply the reaper of death compared to their more primitive hand-cranked machine guns!

The Germans, who had been beaten to the ground, regrouped and prepared to attack the French again. Realizing that this war was not won by numbers, the French had more advanced rifles, more advanced machine guns, and even better rates of fire from their artillery, and they were on the defensive line without fear of the enemy's attack, and some German officers even claimed that the French were methodically harvesting their heads!

Bidenfeldt was equally distressed, because he had succeeded Bismarck as commander-in-chief of the battlefield because of his excellent performance in the previous war. However, the current situation is very embarrassing, they should have cut into the French border like a bamboo, but they were stopped near the border line, unable to advance or retreat.

"Why is this happening? What exactly have the French done over the years? ”

Bismarck's mind raised a question, he had thought that the war would be the same as before, but it seemed to change overnight.

The situation suddenly got out of his control, and Bismarck was overwhelmed, as if the weak French government had become a lion before the verdict was pronounced. He even began to suspect that it was all a conspiracy in Paris, or even the French who lured them into deliberately starting a war, that led to the current situation.

But Bismarck could not go back, and he had no way back. From the moment the war broke out, the current situation was doomed.

"Chancellor Bismarck, I hope you will be able to recognize what is going to happen next."

War Secretary Ron closed the door to his office after making sure there was no one in the hallway. He and Bismarck were the only ones left in the room, discussing secret matters.

He showed a very serious attitude, and said word for word, "Because every decision you make next will affect the situation of the war in Germany." As you can see, the war did not go as smoothly as we thought, and the French resistance was even more fierce than we expected. It was the experience of seven years ago that we used the experience of seven years ago to estimate the French army, which led to the current situation. ”

Ron held back what he was going to say, and he might even say that he would be pushed back if he didn't get it right.

Bismarck nodded, "I know, because my mistakes led to the current situation." But as you know, we don't have any way back now but victory. Once you retreat, you and I both know what the ending is. There is no alternative but death. ”

Bismarck's statement is that he can only bear the tragedy and consequences of the defeat of the war by apologizing with his death, and Ron also took a deep breath, he and Chairman Mao are both Bismarck's supporters, and once the other party falls, more than the prime minister will be involved. Even a litany of political forces will reshuffle unless King William withstands pressure from the outside.

"The war has begun, and we have to keep fighting no matter what. It's not just about Germany's face, it's about our future. ”

Originally, the Germans thought that they would be able to beat France to the ground like chopping vegetables, but this was not the case, and the resistance of the French army on the border line was beyond their imagination.

The German army has completely lost the glorious appearance of the war seven years ago, but has a disgraced appearance. They organized their armies to charge the French again and again, but the result was that they were severely suppressed. They simply could not break through the defensive line, or even the iron walls of France.

This time the French battle plan was called impassable, and as Bismarck had anticipated, they simply had no way to pass it.

Once again, the border was ignited by a sea of fire, an endless sea of fire connected to the real brutal battlefield, and German soldiers were constantly transported to the front, but what they saw was a hellish scene.

Everywhere there were wounded soldiers who had retreated from the front, and the French taught all the German top brass a lesson on what war would be in the next fifty years. In addition to the corpses, the Maxim heavy machine gun also had a large number of half-dead wounded who needed to be amended, causing serious non-war attrition of the German army.

However, what is even more terrible is that the French army has completely updated its weapons, the rate of fire of the Germans' black powder rifles and Krupp guns is completely different from the French, and even the lower officers of the German army complained to their superiors that every charge is a senseless death, they have suppressed us and cannot move, and if this continues, the German army will be dragged to death on the French border.

On the other hand, the French army was in high spirits, and the agitated soldiers couldn't wait to launch a charge to drive the Germans back, and the new model of the Chasebo rifle gave them all confidence, and even the French high-level staff did not expect that these new weapons would actually turn the tide of the war, and the French, who were at a defensive disadvantage, took the initiative in the war. Although many generals took the initiative to ask Ying to abandon the defense and attack the Germans, they were all rejected by Napoleon.

Napoleon needed to regain the initiative on the battlefield step by step, rather than rashly launching an offensive like Bismarck to wipe out the advantages accumulated overnight.

On the border of Alsace, another army of the interior of Paris arrived on the battlefield.

After the outbreak of the war, the French army grew exponentially, and even Bismarck did not realize why so many troops appeared overnight. Their business was completely devoid of German intelligence, as if they were a shadow force that appeared out of thin air.

The fighting mood of this group of shadow troops is even higher than anyone else's.

They are the troops who exist to defend the homeland.

All of them had their bayonets pointed at the border line, a ritual before their battle, symbolizing French resistance to the impudent invaders!

The explosion of the 75mm rifle concealed everything, but could not hide the loyalty of the soldier at the time of taking the oath.

In the face of the artillery fire in the sky and the smell of gunpowder, they shouted that inspiring slogan with the new Shasebo rifles on their backs.

"Hit the invaders!"

"Long live the Third Reich!"

At this time, Great Britain focused all its eyes on the eastern battlefield, and Disraeli even said not to disturb their every move in the eastern theater until the French army was defeated.

Although the conflict on the Franco-German border is heating up, it still does not compare to the price they paid in Ottoman Turkey. An Ottoman Turkish defense force, armed to the teeth, faced with a Slavic gray cattle commanded by the Russians, and there was a certain amount of pressure on everyone.

It was not the good artillery that they were afraid of, even the German infantry was still using the old rifles, the Berdan rifles had just been in service for a long time, and there were even a considerable part of the Russian troops that used the old front-loading rifles. If it weren't for the Maxim machine guns provided by Napoleon, which played a huge role on the battlefield, I am afraid that the Tsar's advance route would still be haunted by the Danube front, unable to move.

However, for the sake of the situation, British Prime Minister Disraeli still did not send troops into the Turkish battlefield, and the expeditionary operations of the Crimean War had taught them a great lesson, and I am afraid that Britain would not die at the hands of the Russians, but lose under a spreading plague. There is nothing worse than a massive non-war attrition caused by the lack of adaptation.

However, at this time, Prime Minister Disraeli finally saw that Napoleon did not want to get involved in the Russo-Turkish war at all, and their French Foreign Legion only adopted the method of guerrilla and not attack, even in line with the practice of the Russian army involved in the Franco-German border conflict. One has to wonder if the French president and the Russian tsar have some shady deal behind the scenes.

"I feel like we've been tricked by the French."

Disraeli felt a little depressed, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"On the surface, the French are our allies, but I always feel that this ally is pushing us into the fire pit. They behaved very negatively on the battlefields of Asia Minor and did not even intend to blend in with the war at all. I even think that the biggest mistake is to pull the French as allies, and look at their performance in the border conflict, even the invincible Germans have no way to tear through their defenses, where is the previous weak attitude. It's clear that everything is faked. ”

Nearly five days into the war, the German army was still changing hands near the border, and there was no way to break through the French lines.

Russell put the map sent back by the military intelligence officer from the front line in front of Disraeli, and he said in a heavy tone, "Prime Minister Disraeli, from this battle report, we can see that the French are not at a disadvantage at all, and they may even be at an advantage. The French army is far from being as unbearable as imagined, and the French have been deliberately carrying out false propaganda and public opinion guidance in the past seven years, so that the rest of Europe thinks that the French army is now weak. In particular, Berlin was fooled into believing that they could wipe out France in one fell swoop, and Napoleon literally spent seven years luring Bismarck into committing crimes. ”

"You mean the French started laying out seven years ago?"

Disraeli gasped, he simply couldn't believe that Napoleon had calculated the situation to this point.

At least from the fighting on the ground, this statement is valid. The French army has new guns, new artillery and even new machine guns, and has carried out a comprehensive equipment update of the entire army, which cannot be completed in four or five years, and the current French army has a much faster reaction speed than before. Remember what we talked about earlier? Napoleon spent all his revenues on transportation and education, and I wondered why France had to build so many railways and dig so many canals, but now I understand that it was to quickly mobilize troops in case of unforeseen conflicts, such as now. It seems that our chancellor Bismarck is off to a bad start, and he has met an opponent who is forbearant enough. ”

France has endured the ridicule of the British and the eyeing of the Germans all these years. But he never thought about what this dormant eagle was thinking, Napoleon's ambition was definitely not a German country, and what he wanted was more far-reaching than Prime Minister Disraeli thought.

If it took half a century to lay down the European Empire, Napoleon thought it would still be a good deal.

"London and Paris are not of the same mind, and we should be wary of him on many issues, and if we rush to cooperate with them, we will only fall into the trap."

"So what to do now, the French have a lot of words, if we don't help them, I guess they will help Russia to fight Turkey. I can't even understand why France is so partial to Russia! ”

This is the most incomprehensible part of the whole problem.

"If France and Russia have long been colluding in private, Paris supports Russia's attack on Turkey, and Russia deliberately lures Germany to attack France?"

Russell boldly speculated, "The French may have wanted revenge in the first place, but they must not show their revenge too obviously, otherwise they will be stopped by the British." So it took deliberately seven years to stage a bitter show, and when the Ottoman Turkish crisis broke out, they finally smelled the opportunity......"

"My God."

Disraeli was taken up from his seat, as if he had heard terrible news. And this bad news comes from the small details he once overlooked.

In this way, all the explanations make sense. Why did Russia repeatedly offend France, but they still adopted an attitude of selfless help, why did the French repeatedly tolerate Russia's provocations, and these practices may even have been done by the French themselves to Tsar Alexander, in order to confine us here! ”

His heart can be punished!

"I can't continue to play with the French!"

Originally, Disraeli thought that he could fish in the troubled waters of this war, become the protector of France, and force Prime Minister Bismarck to make concessions in the political struggle, but now it seems that he and Bismarck are just pawns in the hands of Napoleon!

"Find a way to mediate with Berlin, this battle cannot continue."

Disraeli has seen everything, and although he knows it later, it's not too late.

"Bismarck has already bet everything on this battle, and they can't stop."

Russell retorted to the Prime Minister's unrealistic illusions, "It's impossible, Bismarck is betting everything here, forcing Berlin to make concessions, and undisputed fools are dreaming!" ”
