Chapter 503: Franco-Prussian War

In addition to the superpower leading the British Empire, the vanguard of the anti-Ming Dynasty, or at least the North American pioneer, who condemned the atrocities of the Ming Dynasty, Spain, Belgium, Russia, and even the Ottoman Empire, which could not be beaten by eight poles, all issued statements condemning the Ming Dynasty one after another.

Of course, France, the first bitter master of the Tianjin public trial of the Ming Dynasty, was not to be outdone.

President of the French Third Republic, Grevy, and Republican bigwig Gampeda delivered speeches one after another, saying that the arrogant French rooster would shed the last drop of blood in the Ming-French war.

Either Paris falls, or Zhu Fugui is hanged on the gallows, otherwise France will definitely not sign any ceasefire agreement with the brutal Ming people.

The French and the tyrants of the East are at odds with each other!

However, at the first time, the official newspaper of the Ming Dynasty, "Daming Times (Overseas Edition)" published in French an article by the French Emperor Napoleon III, who lived in Xinfeng, "Angry Denunciation of Hypocritical Republican Ministers".

In the article, His Majesty Nasan pointed out that he had not yet made an abdication statement, and that the Paris Parliament had declared the abolition of the imperial system and that it was completely illegal to deprive him of the throne.

He is currently receiving political asylum in Daming, where he is well received and respected.

His Majesty called on the upright and courageous French people to take up arms and send Gambitta and Grevy to the gallows.

And the government of the Third Republic also declared Napoleon III guilty of treason and should be hanged on a telephone pole.

In this way, two groups of people hanged each other in the air, making the radio waves over the Atlantic more and more busy.

On the whole, however, there were very few people in France who responded to the adoption of the Third Majesty.

The people of Paris still preferred to hang the emperor rather than hang the president.

And this time, maybe there is an opportunity to hang Napoleon III and Zhu Fugui at the same time, and hang two emperors at the same time, which is double happiness.

Compared with the positive condemnation in France, the French minister in Beijing, Luo Shuya, also wanted to reprimand Zhu Fugui loudly at the first time.

However, he had once seen the executioner Ling Chi on the prisoner at the entrance of the Beijing vegetable market.

At that time, Luo Shuya felt that it was quite exotic, fully reflecting the barbarism of the yellow race, and specially ordered someone to take a lot of photos and prepare to take them back to Paris for exhibition.

But when he heard that his colleague was actually executed like this by the Ming people, the photo in his hand suddenly became unpleasant.

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it.

Luo Shuya felt a dull pain all over her body, and prepared to run away overnight.

As a result, he realized that he lacked a sense of business, and only then did he find that Beijing today could not buy horse-drawn carriages at all, so he could only buy a few donkey carts and flee with his entourage in the starry night.

After several times of donkey cart drifting, Luo Shuya finally breathed a sigh of relief when she reached the north of the Great Wall, and was ready to write a letter to severely reprimand Daming.

"Your evil deeds are known to everyone from the potato cemetery in Ireland to the seal cemetery in Hudson Bay!"

"Zhu Fuguiism is synonymous with in our country!"

"Akito's cubs are perfect for working in the mines of Lorraine, Alsace!"

Luo Shuya's snacks were written on several pieces of paper.

However, when he took out a map, ruler, and compass to measure the distance between his location and Tianjin, he finally crumpled all the letters into a ball and threw them into the furnace.

Just when politicians from various countries put on a show and condemned and condemned, almost turning Daming into a public enemy of the world, an unexpected and reasonable war broke out.

On 13 April, the Kingdom of Prussia, secretly mobilized, declared war on the French Third Republic in the name of French interference in the internal affairs of Spain and solidarity with the just cause of the Kingdom of Italy (Sardinia) to unify the Apennine Peninsula.

It is a pity that neither Spain nor Italy cooperated with Prussia in declaring war on France.

However, it is harmless that the war between the French and the Ming is still ongoing, and the cured pork of the Ming Dynasty is entering Prussia through the Ottomans.

Pork is fighting power, and the Prussians won before they fought.

After the general mobilization, the Prussian army consisted of Wilhelm I as commander-in-chief and Moltke as chief of the general staff.

Moltke's battle plan was to concentrate superior forces and attack Alsace and Lorraine, in an attempt to annihilate the main French army on the Franco-Prussian border or drive it to northern France, and then attack Paris.

The Prussian army was well planned to mobilize troops by rail, and by the end of April, about 470,000 men had been assembled in three regiments on the border.

In addition, there are 10 assembled Ming-made armored trains, 43 Prussian "Moles" converted from Ming-made foreign trade tractors, and 1,584 Krupp guns.

On the other hand, the French side has been busy with the infighting between the republicans and the imperialists, and was caught off guard by the Prussians.

However, because there was no "heroic and fearless" His Majesty Nasan, the command and mobilization of the French side were strengthened.

On 27 April, the Prussian army first attacked the French in the Saarbrücken area with three divisions.

The Prussian infantry faced the French with the "American method of warfare" and built a line of barbed wire + repeating machine guns, with heavy losses.

They dispatched the "Mole" to break the defense.

The debut of barbed wire on the land of Europe was crushed by tanks, which can be described as both Yu and Liang.

If the United States, the Soviet Union and China took turns to teach the Africans the tactics of stepping and tan, and they did not teach the Germans because of their gray hair, then the Ming did not teach them at all, and the Prussians realized a set of their own tanks.

Taking advantage of the tank's mobility and ability to break defenses, Prussian Crown Prince Frederick led the Second Army to defeat the forces of General Douai of the French army at the Battle of Wissanburg.

Just when the Prussians tasted the sweetness of tanks and were about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, they marched into Paris in one fell swoop, when suddenly there was a loud roar, and a "mole" was blown into the sky.

It turned out that the French, who had long suffered enough from the Ming tanks in Mexico, had certainly suffered from internal friction in the past two years, but they did not stagnate in armaments.

Against the nightmare of "tanks", the best thing is, naturally, to use tanks against tanks.

But diesel engines and tracked chassis are not so easy to do, and with the current industrial strength of France, it is simply impossible to produce them on their own.

As a result, they developed a series of bizarre anti-tank weapons.

Anti-tank mines converted from artillery shells were a gift from the French to the Ming Dynasty, but the Prussians tasted it.

During this time, the French Third Republic laid a large number of anti-tank mines in the Champagne Aden and Burgundy regions.

In addition to passive weapons such as mines, the French also creatively invented another artifact against tanks - the spine mine, known as the onboard happy bar (pictured).

This wave is called convergent evolution.

In the South Pacific theater of World War II, the Japanese Army often faced the threat of U.S. Marines or the Army's M4 medium tanks, but it was clear that Japan did not have high-level anti-tank weapons such as the Bazooka.

So they have long used different kinds of local methods to deal with the US military.

For example, anti-tank mines, anti-tank guns, and throwing weapons like the Type 99 magnetic anti-tank mine can be used to break the hood of a U.S. tank, or attach it to the bottom of the tank to detonate.

Piercing mines were one of the best of these and were used until the surrender of the Japanese army in 1945, and later became one of the killer weapons of the Viet Cong.

A spine mine usually consists of a long pole and a conical anti-tank mine, which is mounted at one end of the pole to resemble a spear.

Mine operations are generally used for infantry ambushes, where Japanese infantry will first lay in ambush and wait for the tank to drive away, and then rush to the target and stab the cone bomb of the piercing mine into the tank to detonate.

Of course, the open plains of France are completely different from the jungle terrain of the South Pacific islands and Vietnam.

Ambushing tanks is basically impossible.

However, the French have the best and cheapest cavalry in the world at the moment.

Berbers from North Africa, armed with spur mines, like medieval pikemen, launched a tragic and almost suicidal charge against the Prussian tanks.

Never underestimate the combat effectiveness of the French Rooster Foreign Legion.

Once again, as in history, they saved Paris.

Of course, thanks to the attributes of the "Mole" tank pulling the crotch, this thing is worse than the "Han Cavalry 01", it is really the old man's music in the old man's music, and it is reasonable to be overturned by the medieval cavalry with a burst spear.

All of a sudden, the Franco-Prussian War was in a scorching situation.
