"His Excellency Chief of Staff, if we attack Russia now, how are our army prepared?" Otto von Bismarck, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, looked at General Reicher, Chief of Staff.●⌒In the previous plan, the Kingdom of Prussia will dispatch one million troops to Russia and seize the main territory of Russia. Next, the Kingdom of Prussia will mobilize 500,000 troops to enter Russia, so that the total Prussian army entering Russia will exceed 1.5 million. In this way, we can ensure that we can barely compete with the Chinese army.

"Prime Minister, our troops gathered on the border have exceeded 600,000. The remaining 400,000 people are still rushing to the front line." General Reicher said. Although the transportation network in the Kingdom of Prussia is very developed and railway transportation is also very convenient. However, due to the transportation capacity of railways in this era, it is still not so easy to complete the mobilization of millions of troops. The railway tracks in the Kingdom of Prussia are mainly wrapped in iron plates, which makes the railway carrying capacity very limited. Unlike the railways in China, all of them use steel rails.

Of course, this also caused a large part of the annual steel production of the empire to consume railway construction. Even so, the large-scale railway construction of the empire has not been completed. Especially the railways extending from the empire's hinterland to the west to Central Asia and the Western Siberian Plains are still under intense construction. Only when these railways are completed can the empire truly control the Central Asia and the Western Siberian Plains and ensure the empire's influence on Eastern Europe.

"Six hundred thousand people are enough. Anyway, our army goes to Russia and does not want to fight against the Chinese. We are just going to occupy the territory. I think the Chinese will not go to war with us until the North Atlantic military alliance is completely defeated." Deputy Chief of General Staff Earl Moltz also said. As General Reichle becomes older, Earl Moltz has gradually gained control of the General Staff of the Prussian General Staff.

Everyone looked at William I and was waiting for his decision. William I was also a little hesitant. Because he was not sure that the Prussian army entered Russia at this time and would easily occupy a large area of ​​Russia's territory under the guidance of the Russians. Will this cause dissatisfaction or even hostility of the Chinese Empire, and will it trigger a war? If a conflict occurs, or even a war between the Prussian Kingdom and the Chinese Empire broke out early, then what should the Prussian Kingdom do? With the strength of the Prussian Kingdom, can it withstand the attack of the Chinese Empire?

"Gentlemen, although the territory of the Russians is a cake with butter flowing cream for us. But let us not forget that the Chinese are also salivating about this cake. Once we have a conflict of interest with the Chinese, how will they choose? Once our two countries go to war, can we really defeat the Chinese?" William I said in a deep voice. These are things that everyone needs to consider in advance.

Everyone was silent. There was no doubt that compared to the Kingdom of Prussia, the Chinese Empire was too powerful. They had to consider it carefully if they wanted to be enemies of the Empire. After all, when Britain was completely surrounded and France was defeated on the battlefield. Russia was about to be destroyed, the Chinese Empire had become the well-deserved world leader. Prussia wanted to challenge the Empire of China. It seemed that they did not have this ability. If they wanted to force the war, the Kingdom of Prussia would pay a heavy price in the end.

"In addition, there is one thing that needs to be informed of. As the war progresses, the Kingdom of Prussia is almost unable to hold on. One-third of the food sources of our army and residents are transported from the Chinese Empire. A large part of the steel produced by the arsenals is from major minerals such as saltpeter, and the Chinese Empire's merchant ships are transported from South America. Once our relations with the Chinese Empire deteriorate and the Chinese Empire cut off the source of these important materials, how long can we last?" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck continued.

Except for King William I, the other ministers looked quite ugly. Especially Frederick William, the crown prince, was even more so. His mouth wide open, as if he could not believe everything in front of him, like a fish caught out of the water.

"God! Does the Kingdom of Prussia need to rely on the assistance of the Chinese to continue fighting? How is this possible?" Frederick William Crown Prince's face pale. In his impression, the Kingdom of Prussia was powerful. Even though it was located in Central Europe and was surrounded by enemies, the Kingdom of Prussia still developed and became more and more powerful. But now it seems that the Kingdom of Prussia is so fragile. Less than a year after the war began, the Kingdom of Prussia needed the assistance of the Chinese Empire. It was even more unimaginable to fight against the Chinese Empire.

"Your Majesty, at this moment, we cannot offend the Chinese Empire, and we cannot break the alliance between us. Otherwise, this will create an excuse for the Chinese to attack us!" said Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron.

William I nodded. Although he was unwilling to admit it, the gap in strength between the two countries was there. If a war broke out with the Chinese Empire, the Prussian Kingdom would undoubtedly lose.

"So, gentlemen, what should we do this time? We cannot remain indifferent to the Russian rescue. Once Russia is completely eaten by the Chinese, we will not have the strength to confront the Chinese in the future. And the Chinese will not let us exist at that time." William I looked at everyone, and he also felt very annoyed.

"Your Majesty, we can contact the Chinese and inform them that the Kingdom of Prussia will fulfill its alliance and launch a war against Russia. Then, quickly capture a large area of ​​Russian territory. Of course, it is best not to have conflicts with the Chinese during the operation." Count Moltch suggested.

"Well! Your Majesty, this is the best way we can use. We are originally allies of the Chinese, and Russia is our enemy. It is natural for the Kingdom of Prussia to send troops to attack Russia. However, it is very important to restrain the troops and cannot be allowed to lead the Russians. Our army must not conflict with the Chinese in Russia." Otto von Bismarck also said.

"Okay, let's leave this matter to you!" William I nodded and said nothing more.

He knew that if the Prussian Kingdom wants to become completely powerful, it must expand eastward. The territory that the Russians promised to cede to the Prussian Kingdom was very important to expand the future living space of the Prussian Kingdom. Even if they risked breaking with the Chinese Empire for this, the Prussian Kingdom had to do it.

At the end of April 1855, Klaus, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia to China, officially notified the Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the Kingdom of Prussia would fulfill its alliance, send one million troops to attack Russia, and completely destroy a major member of the North Atlantic Military Alliance. The Chinese Empire scoffed at the actions of the Prussians. Even fools could see that the Prussians wanted to get a bargain. This was obvious. The Chinese Empire's army had defeated the main force of the Russian army. The Russians were constantly defeating. Even if the Prussians did not intervene, the empire could destroy Russia within the next few months.

The Prussians did this just to grab territory. However, even though they knew the Prussians' intentions, the two sides are allies now, and the Chinese Empire cannot blame anything. They can only curse in secret.

The Chinese Empire welcomed the actions of the Kingdom of Prussia. However, the Chinese Empire had not yet expected that the Prussians and the Russians had actually signed a secret treaty behind their backs. After the Prussians expanded their borders, they would easily capture Russian towns as if they had entered a no-man's land. The Russians even took the initiative to surrender to the Prussians and even acted as a "leader". The Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire were blocked by the Russians. Even though the Russians were in a low spirit and could not really have any impact on the Imperial Army and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Russians' actions undoubtedly delayed their advancement, causing the Prussians to occupy those territories to be far faster than the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

For example, in Kiev, the Ottoman Turkish Army, after a hard battle, suffered more than 100,000 casualties, finally captured Kiev and captured the northern part of the Ukrainian Plain. However, the Prussian Kingdom took the opportunity to send troops into northwestern Ukraine, and occupied this area without bloodshed, and even embezzled some territory occupied by the Ottoman Turkish Army. It was not until the Ottoman Turkish Empire protested and the Chinese Empire also showed dissatisfaction that the Prussians restrained a little.

As the Prussian Army's attack on the battlefield became more and more smooth, the resistance encountered by the Imperial Army and the Ottoman Turkish Army became increasingly greater. By comparison, we can naturally find the tricks.

The Prussians' practice undoubtedly harmed the interests of the Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Both countries were very dissatisfied with this behavior. However, there was no tangible evidence, and it was impossible to blame the Prussians. After all, the Prussians could push everything to faith and state relations. Compared with China and the Ottoman Turkish Empire that believed in Greenism, the Russians were definitely more willing to surrender to the Prussian Kingdom, which believed in Christianity. Not to mention that King William I of Prussia was also the uncle of Tsar Alexander II. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
