The second watch, smashing the recommendation votes, the old irons, fell to 300. The year of the previous chapter has changed.

The soldiers returning from the front were invariably shrouded in the clouds of defeat, and for the first time, the defeated army, walking in the mud, saw an army even more terrible than the Metz fortress.

And the crown prince Albert was even more frightened by the way of exchanging human lives for the defense line, even if he rushed in front of the defense line, the French soldiers actually directly engaged the Prussians in the trenches, using rifles and revolvers, and even bayonets to fight the Prussian army to the death, and also crushed their attack.

It was as if the army in Paris had changed.

Burnt Bismarck.

A gloomy face of Bidian Felt.

There was also William I, who was staring at them with cold eyes, and the six eyes met to form an embarrassing situation, originally they had promised to take Paris in the shortest possible time, but they were still consumed in the mire and could not move.

The black lancers had nowhere to use in front of Napoleon's iron curtain of bronze walls. Prussia's military brass had realized that France's use of barbed wire and trenches was changing the tide of the war and was likely to lead to a new military revolution on a European scale.

"Is this the victory you promised? I only saw the defeat of Prussia, a defeat in a daze, we came to take France to complete revenge, not to give France a head! Sir Bismarck, if it weren't for the threatening letter you wrote, the hundreds of captives would not have been stuck on the stake, but what makes me even more angry is that we don't even have a chance to avenge them! ”

William I slammed his fist on the table and asked angrily, "Why can't you attack a trench?" Could it be that the French cast a spell on it? ”

"This is not a straight trench, it is far more curved than we think, and there are even cat holes to hide from artillery fire, the French army's trench is divided into three lines, not only to resist artillery fire, but also to be mounted on the trench to carry out a slaughtering blow against our uncovered army. But I have found a gap, and the town of Sassenno in northeastern France has a forest that crosses the Seine, and there is a bridge in Sassenno that connects to Paris, and if we attack from this place, we can avoid their trench lines as much as possible, and reduce our losses. Because they could not set up a defensive line in the woods, with a surprise army, they would be able to break through and go around the back of the defensive line, annihilating the defenders in one fell swoop. ”

Wilhelm I's face softened a little, and if these mediocre people couldn't think of a way, he would really be piling up heads in Paris.

"I'll give you time, four days! I have to take Paris in four days anyway, and if I don't, I'll roll up and get out. ”

William I's angry roar resounded throughout the base camp, and everyone else looked at each other, secretly clenching their fists, they must seize this opportunity, otherwise all the officers will wait to roll up and leave.

At this time, Crown Prince Frederick, who had returned from Saint-Quentin, entered the tent and, after hearing his father's accusations, asked, "My father, why don't you consider making peace with Paris?" We have now lost face for France. ”

Crown Prince Frederick's advice embarrassed William I, who had calmed down, again.

"Peace? You know, the present peace with Paris means that our previous efforts have been in vain, and in order to demand huge reparations from France, and to maintain Germany's political and military superiority over France for decades to come, Paris must be taken! ”

William I's long-term strategic vision did not want to be defeated by a group of useless Junker aristocrats.

"But now we still control the northern part of Paris, and even if we don't take Paris, the Prussian army can loot the northern part of the country and then evacuate. Is it more important to you to send troops to occupy France than to the wealth we have acquired? ”

Crown Prince Frederick reminded the generals who were carried away by the joy of victory and the hatred of revenge, and he said slowly, "If we cannot take Paris, make it a second plan, and we can destroy the economic foundations of Paris, even if we do not gain political benefits." ”

"Burn down all the towns, blow up all the factories, loot local banks, loot civilians, and implement a scorched-earth strategy in their north. Since we don't get the reparations we deserve, we won't let France have a good life! ”

After listening to Crown Prince Frederick's answer, the already angry Emperor began to soothe his brow and seriously consider what his son had said.

Destroying the economic foundations of France seemed to be the only thing they could do after their defeat from Paris.

"This plan has been put on hold."

Wilhelm I didn't have much to think about other issues, and he said slowly, "The attack is on this night, and we are going to take advantage of the Prussians' inattention to storm their defenses in one fell swoop, and I don't believe that the French will be more difficult to deal with than a month ago!" ”

The Prussian Fifth Cavalry Division, led by General Bithenfeldt himself, prepared to advance from the small town of Sassenno in the direction of France, and after several days of tentative attacks, they found that this was the weakest place for the French army, because the terrain of the last time the town of Nouart made it difficult to defend and easy to attack.

The raiding army set off in a majestic manner, taking advantage of the cover of night, to rush in the direction of the only breakthrough in Paris, and Bidianfeldt gambled on the glory of the Austro-Prussian War and the Prussian-Danish War, so that he was once again promoted to the rank of knight in this war.

Everyone's face was gloomy and grim, and this was the most critical moment for Prussia.

For the final victory, but also for the sacrifice that came before.

The happiest person in the entire Prussian barracks was probably Napoleon III, and through the details of the base camp, the battle ahead did not go as well as Bismarck said, but fell into a certain state of anxiety.

This is probably the end of Prussia's advance.

"It's a mess when you get to Paris, and if this group of Prussian rubbish were to face my uncle, I'm afraid I'm afraid I would not even be able to sit on my chair. It's a pity, if my uncle is still there, let alone a Germany, even if the anti-French alliance comes, it will definitely push the front back. ”

Of course, he would not have thought that it was his uncle who was fighting on the front line, and if he knew, it was estimated that Louis would collapse directly to the ground.

"The war in Paris has finally entered a white-hot phase, and I wonder what method the Provisional Government will use to turn the tide of the war now?"

Louis Bonaparte said to himself, "I'll see." ”
