In the northernmost part of the German Empire, in the vast jungle, a huge army was marching. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is the German Northern Army, the defender of the northern borders of Germany, facing the northern states and defending the northern frontier of Germany.

Due to the large number of countries bordering northern Germany and the complicated situation, among which there are many countries with which Germany has long-standing grievances, in order to cope with such a complex and changeable situation, the number of the Northern Army is the largest among the four major border guards, with more than 80,000 people. And because of the perennial wars and small wars, the strength is far stronger than the other three major border guards. It is even comparable to the main army of the Reich, and it is only slightly inferior to the First Army of the Reich that guarded the capital of Berlin.

But such a legion of great and great importance was not liked by the Kaiser, for no other reason than because of the constant discord between the Kaiser and the commander of the Northern Army, and even when it was not necessary, the Kaiser did not want the name of the Northern Army to be mentioned, as if it did not exist.

Faust, the commander of the Northern Legion, is a powerful martial saint-level powerhouse, and he is also a famous general in Germany, and he is a famous figure on the mainland, and he is a well-known legend in Germany. It stands to reason that His Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm should rely on such a pillar of the country, but why do they have dirty?

And for good reason, of course.

For one, the origin of the Faustrian Legion Commander is unusual. Born in the Frankfurt region of Germany, he was a bright and well-known local man, but he was not good at martial arts. Later, due to his involvement in the conflict between the church and the people, his family was in the middle of the road, and under the blow, he actually joined the legendary evil devil's association, determined to rebel against the Holy See, and became a disciple of one of the "devils" Mephistopheles, followed him to practice magic skills, traveled around the mainland, and committed one horrific evil deed after another.

Although after many years of sinking, he then reformed his ways, and with the help of the masters of the Holy See, defeated his teacher Mephistopheles, burned him to death, returned to Germany, and accompanied the army all the way to the north and south, and finally sat in the position of commander of the legion.

Second, the captain of Faust is a close friend of the former second prince and now Prince Heinrich of the Rhine, and the two can be said to be close and affectionate. And these two princes, Heinrich, were the biggest enemies of the current Kaiser Wilhelm before he ascended the throne. Even in terms of martial arts, Prince Heinrich was much stronger than Wilhelm II. Although it may be that the emperor took into account Prince Heinrich's strength but not his flexible brain, and passed the throne to Wilhelm II, this mustard is like a thorn in Wilhelm II's heart.

After all, it would not be difficult for such a marshal with such a powerful individual and real power to control the military to collude with Prince Heinrich, who was now idle in his fiefdom, to cause a great chaos in Germany, and even the throne might change hands. Although for so many years, the two only exchanged ordinary letters directly, and there was no overstepping, Kaiser Wilhelm II was still entangled and refused to let go of his defense.

Of course, the captain of Faust also understood this, so he stayed in the Northland most of the time, rarely returned to Berlin to report on his work, and rarely even asked Berlin for help or made any requests.

But this time is different, this time it is a national war! And along the way, the French army was like a bamboo, and the German army was defeated again and again, and even the martial saint-level powerhouses were not able to save much of the battle. It can be said that Germany has reached the most dangerous time. His Majesty William, who had always been arrogant and conceited to the extreme, had to put aside his prejudices and personally write letters explaining the situation, hoping that the Northern Army would send troops to attack France itself and force the French to withdraw.

Of course, in order to allow the Faustrian Legion Commander to exert all his strength without reservation, this letter is not only signed by His Majesty the Emperor, but also signed by all the important ministers from the former Prime Minister Bismarck to the Foreign Minister Caprivi, and I don't know how many benefits have been promised.

Although I don't know what the expression of the captain of Faust saw this letter, there is no doubt that the legion on its back really took action, preparing the armor, collecting grain and grass, arranging defense, and specifying the plan, but in just three days, all preparations were completed, and the officers and men of the whole army officially began to march to France proper.

Germany and France are bordering, and the northwest side of Germany is right at the junction with the northeast side of France, and there are several major roads between them, so it is not difficult to attack France.

The difficulty is how to fight and to what extent.

Now, in the middle of the Northern Army, the generals are discussing this issue while marching.

"What's the point of thinking about this, first attack our capital Berlin in France, then we will attack their capital Paris as well. ”

"Yes, now that the French army has been transferred out, the country is empty, even if there are troops left, there will not be too many, we are all elites this time, and there are martial saint-level masters like the commander of the legion, some resistance can be solved, and we will go all the way to Paris. ”

"I think that Napoleon, who is also known as the French military god, the world's number one famous general, could he not have thought of such a thing as our counterattack on France? ”

"As long as we don't take risks step by step, don't be greedy for merit, and act safely, what are we afraid of traps? Now that the main forces of France are on our southern front, how many people can be left in the country to lay traps?"

"Yes, the most elite in France is still the French Revolutionary Army, all of whom are veterans who followed Napoleon to establish the country, but in the past few years, they have fought against the British, then the civil war, and then the reconquista, and I don't know how many people have died along the way, even if they have recuperated in the past few years, they have not recovered much. And I have carefully inquired, now the French Revolutionary Army is basically fighting with our army on the southern front, even if there is a little left in the country, it will definitely only be more than 10,000 people, at most 20,000 will stand up to the sky, even if you add those new soldiers, where is the opponent of our northern army?"

"Alas, I don't think we should take it lightly, be careful! We are not like those main army corps are biological, just this family background, if it is gone, there will be no supplement. Your Majesty the Emperor's virtue, you have not been unaware of it for so many years. ”

"Yes, we should be as careful as possible, and we would rather be slow than risk ourselves! The scouts should let them work harder, day and night! The range should also be expanded! All kinds of terrain must be explored in advance! This time, we will be careful all the way, and we will not take any risks, and we will fight them in a dignified battle!" Finally, the Faustian commander opened his mouth to set the tone for this expedition.
