At this time, the inspection field was clearly distinguished, compared with the somewhat scattered Baden and Württemberg armies, the Prussian army was obviously more majestic, in addition to strict discipline, a shocking murderous aura naturally emanated from the Prussian army.

If you go back a few decades, the Prussian army was actually not much better than these two states.

Shame and courage are the characteristics of these generations of high-level leaders in the Kingdom of Prussia, and the uninterrupted military reform has completely invited the noble rice worms in those armies out of the army.

Coupled with the baptism of war, the Prussian army has a fairly high level of tactics, it is undeniable that the number of Prussian troops in the Franco-Prussian War was almost twice that of France, but the mobilization and organizational ability of France in the Napoleonic era was far beyond that of European countries at that time, so victory or defeat is the key, not the number, people will only remember the winner.

……

Baden Division.

"Blair, the Prussians look very serious, and their discipline, this is what a soldier should be!"

"It's just a reckless force! However, the current crisis situation in Germany really requires a strong army country like Prussia to act as the main force against the French, and our Baden and South German countries are still too small. Blair, the commander of the 6th regiment, replied.

"We have our own advantages, although there is a slight gap between the soldiers and the Prussian army, but the wisdom on the battlefield is the key to victory, compared to the Prussian army, our Baden is small, but the flexibility is strong, and the mobility is used to the extreme, which can definitely pose a huge threat to the French."

"In terms of scale, the army next door under the banner of the Heixingen Kingdom is even smaller." Blair said.

"Do you know what they're all about?"

"I just learned by accident that my father has cooperated with the Heixingen Foundation, and in the past few years, grain planting has been replaced by grape planting, which can make more money."

"I know that the Heixingen Consortium has invested a lot in Baden and Württemberg in recent years, but how is this Heixingen Brigade related to the Heixingen Consortium? Is it not just a place name in Prussia? ”

"Now there are many states under the Kingdom of Prussia, not to mention Prussia, there are many states under the North German Confederation that are stronger than Hexingen, but how many do you see with a separate geographical number?" Blair asked rhetorically.

"It is indeed strange that in the early years after the annexation of Heichengen and Sigmaringen to Prussia, as far as I know, the armies of the two countries were canceled at that time, and now how did Heichengen appear again! Is it because of the Hohenzollerns? ”

"Although the ancestral land of the Hohenzollern family is in Hexingen, this is not the reason for the emergence of the Hexingen brigade, because of economic cooperation, my father has investigated the situation in Hexingen in depth, and the entire Hohenzollern family has a rising trend in recent years, not to mention the Prussian royal family, a few years ago, the second son of Prince Karl of the Hohenzollern family of Sigmaringen, became the Grand Duke of Romania, and if there is no obstruction from the French, the eldest son Leopold is now estimated to have become the king of Spain. The Hohenzollern, on the other hand, took a different route, moving from politics and military to business, and now the Hexingen Foundation is the family business of the Heixingen royal family. ”

"What does this have to do with the Black Ringen Brigade?"

"Didn't you read the newspaper two months ago?" Blair said.

"Newspapers! I really didn't pay close attention. ”

"At that time, a German state was established in Africa, and the Kingdom of East Africa should have known about it!"

"Oh, I remember, but at the time I just glanced at who cared about an overseas indigenous country, even if it was founded by a German."

"You didn't pay attention, but I noticed it, and it is not possible for any indigenous kingdom to take the lead in getting Austria-Hungary to take the lead and take sides with so many countries to admit this."

"Since you haven't paid attention, you shouldn't know that the king of the Kingdom of East Africa is Konstantin, Prince of Heshingen of Prussia, and the head of the Hexingen consortium is his only son, Prince Ernst, who is the future son-in-law of Archduke Ferdinand of the Habsburgs."

"In this way, the Hexingen royal family has indeed had a good life in recent years, but what do you think about the development of Africa? It's hard to understand. ”

"Maybe I was stimulated by Sigmaringen next door, of course, this is just my personal speculation, after all, the European throne is not so easy to plot, and the Sigmaringen royal family can encounter this opportunity twice, which is indeed a little jealous."

"Having said so much, you should tell me the origin of this Heixingen Brigade!"

"Of course, it is the private armed forces of the Hexingen royal family, and you can also use him as the military talent training base formed by the East African Kingdom in the German region, after all, the Hexingen royal family must cultivate its own lineage military strength when it goes to East Africa to start a business, so the military power of the Heixingen territory in Europe was taken away by Prussia, but they have relied on the financial resources of the Heixingen consortium in recent years to form a Heixingen Military Academy, which is actually the Heixingen royal family rebuilding the army in the name of the military academy."

"It's no wonder, can I understand that this Hexingen Brigade is not actually a military force in the German region, but an armed force of the East African Kingdom or the Hexingen Consortium, and does not belong to the Kingdom of Prussia, and now everyone has to deal with the threat of the French, so give it a separate privilege and a reason with our Baden Division?"

"Almost, that's it."

……

"Leopold, who do you see coming?" Frederick III came from afar and shouted to Leopold.

"It's you...... Ernst? I didn't expect you to come to the front! ”

"Nonsense, I'm the principal, and now that they're about to graduate early, I'm naturally going to be there in person, and this time I've brought you a talent to assist you."

Although Ernst was a hands-off shopkeeper, it was necessary to appear in front of the students frequently, occasionally summoning a school-wide assembly to do the ideological work of the whole school, and it was necessary to let the students know who they were loyal to, and now this class of students was going to join a war that would go down in history, and Ernst naturally had to go to the front to boost morale (the most important thing was that Ernst knew that the French were still preparing and that the war could not be fought for the time being).

It is not that the gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall, and it is impossible to let Ernst put himself in danger, not that he is afraid of death, but that Ernst, as a person who has died once, is not afraid of death, but has a big family, and if there is an accident, the foundation he has worked so hard to build is cheaper than others, which is more uncomfortable than killing himself.

"Talent, don't make trouble for me!"

"Don't worry, this is a top student at the Berlin Military Academy, not I blew it, but the instructors of the Berlin Military Academy certified, I just let them go, Heinrich, this is your boss this time, His Royal Highness Leopold of the Sigmaringen royal family."

Heinrich gave a solemn military salute: "Hello, Your Highness Leopold! ”

Heinrich, one of the only two cadets of the Heshingen Military Academy to enter the Berlin Military Academy for further study, has been in the top 30 all year round, which is actually not the best, otherwise the Berlin Military Academy would not be so easy to release.

At present, the Heshingen Military Academy has the best grades in the Berlin Military Academy, Adenauer, stable in the top ten, the highest score has reached the third in the whole academy, and the learning and thinking ability is very strong, and even published a number of high-quality military papers, which have attracted the attention of Moltke, and have been favored by the Prussian General Staff.

The reason why Ernst called Heinrich over was actually for his good, Adenauer had a smooth future, and Heinrich was much worse, and letting him enter the army in advance could add to his resume, especially since this was the Franco-Prussian War, and because of the particularity of the Hehinden Brigade, he could directly serve as Leopold's deputy, which was not a low starting point in the Prussian army.

After all, Heinrich was not a native German, and if he wanted to get ahead in the German army in the future, he would not be able to do without military achievements.

In fact, Ernst arranged him and Adenauer into the Berlin Military Academy with the intention that they would enter the high-level development of the Prussian army, and the composition of East African immigrants was special, which determined that the future could not be separated from the influence of Germany and Austria-Hungary, so it was necessary to let these two people have a certain influence in the German region, and this was also the reason for the formation of the Hexingen Brigade, to let the German public know that the yellow-skinned Germans were as brave, intelligent, and combative, which was convenient for the integration of East African races.

Ernst's approach was not effective in Germany, but it unexpectedly affected the French, who later formed a French Allied Army composed of many Southeast Asians in order to suppress the blacks in the French African colonies.
