1851 Benjamin has seen it all
Late at night, in the study of the Prime Minister's residence, more than a dozen snow-white candlesticks were lit on the desk. The hot candle tears flowed down. The swaying candlelight made the Prime Minister shine, and the corner of the room was a dark orange.
On the table was a variety of top-secret information between Prussia and France. British spies collected a large number of military preparations from both sides, and the limelight for preparing for war was getting stronger and stronger.
After the French rude reprimand the Prussian king, the originally somewhat eased situation of the Prussian public welfare suddenly took a sharp turn. The former commercial and commercial and voluntary situation changed and quickly became an iron-faced man.
He shouted to prepare for the king's glory and signed one conscription after another. The Krupp army project received dozens of orders for cannons, and all production lines had been mobilized.
The elite resident legion has begun to distribute equipment for pre-war adaptive training, and reserve soldiers from various states have begun to assemble in the barracks, with the sound of military horns and the roar of soldiers training everywhere.
The fully reorganized Prussian Legion began to advance to the south. Although it did not contact the French-Popular border area, the gunpowder smell that was ready to start the war was already very strong.
The railway network across Prussia began to operate overload, with coal, steel, wood... all kinds of combat preparation materials beginning to be distributed, and soldiers from each corps began to use the railway network to gather nationwide.
In every city in Prussia, interest-free war bonds are being issued, and the people silently cast the last Finney in their piggy bank into the furnace of war.
Years of education have made all Prussians understand a truth: only iron blood can save Germany, and the happiness of the people must be based on the strong country. Only when the country is strong can we break out of the cage built by Britain and go to the world to grab meat to eat.
This is a truth that every Prussian child understands. There is no anti-war sentiment in the entire country, and everyone is full of energy.
"Battle against France and steal the French's overseas colonies... Unify Germany, we must seize wealth from the world!"
Benjamin, who was trapped in fantasy, suddenly shuddered, and the slogans that came into his mind frightened him. It was undoubtedly true that Pisme was a difficult opponent.
If we push out the Prussian intelligence and look at France, the situation is a bit unoptimistic. The arrogant Frenchman's preparation efficiency is not as good as Prussia.
At present, more than 200,000 warworthy legions gathered in Prussia, but France said it had mobilized 300,000 troops on the surface, but data sent back by the spies showed that only half of these 300,000 people had completed combat preparations.
That’s right, war is not a game in wargame deduction, and both sides are not playing mathematical addition and subtraction. What is war preparation? What is completion mobilization? What is formal assembly?
Let’s take a look at the preparations for Prussia. The legions of others are all composed of veterans. Everyone has undergone a physical examination and distributed ammunition for three days of combat. Field rations are also distributed to everyone.
The army's transition from stationed state to combat readiness requires high-intensity warm-up training, and dozens of consecutive pre-war mobilizations will stimulate the morale of soldiers.
Even the military's top-secret combat plan has been sent to all units of the battalion and regiment!
Only through such an organization and this series of processes must ensure that the army can be devoted to the war in the next second, which is true combat readiness.
France has been doing so well over the years. The local government has not experienced war for a long time. The entire state machine has rusted. All bureaucrats have an incredible romantic optimism, as if war will not happen.
The soldiers who had been pampered in the military camp for several years were lazily driving to the north. Many people didn't have time to change their rifles, and the distribution of twenty or thirty bullets was less than an hour of high-intensity combat.
Many troops were halfway through the journey and had not yet obtained new military uniforms and first aid kits and other supplies. The entire preparation process seemed lazy.
At this moment, France can only have 150,000 troops who can directly pull on the battlefield to engage in high-intensity battles, only 150,000!
Benjamin rubbed his temples in pain, "It can't be like this. What I want is a bloody battle of both sides, not a one-sided crush on Prussian side!"
"As the second place under the Empire of Sunset, France should be beaten by Prussia. Only in this way can we broaden the distance between the second place and our first place..."
"France can no longer be stronger. This war must cause them to get hurt and have some blood!"
"But I will never allow Prussia to win too easily... This crazy nation, the whole country, is like a machine, rigorous and ruthless! If they retain their military strength and easily defeat France, they will definitely pose a huge threat to Britain in the future!"
"Damn Xiao Letian, do you have to make trouble? I finally made the strength of both sides basically balance. I finally created such a situation where both sides suffered losses. Do you have to destroy this balance?"
Benjamin looked at the beating candle flames as if he saw Xiao Lotte's stinky face. "God will punish you! If you throw out such news, it will definitely damage the image of the Franciscan emperor. You will make the number of people who support Prussia in the whole of Europe soar, and you will make the anti-war sentiment within France high!"
"Damn it, once that kind of atmosphere of hatred of the enemy arises, Prussia will compete for a lot of diplomatic aid, and it will be easier to recruit angry young people in the country to join the army, and their military resources will increase by at least 30%!"
"What kind of fairy did you change? Ah...Xiao Letian What kind of fairy did you change? Why is it so difficult to deal with!"
This is the truly mature politician. He obviously wants to let France go, but in the process, France cannot be too weak. If the third brother wants to challenge the second brother, he must make both sides fight a little bit worse, so that the empire can benefit from it.
Benjamin saw through Xiao Letian’s true intention behind this article at a glance.
"Oh Xiao Letian! You want to give Prussia points from the people's hearts and reduce points to the French emperor! Not only that, you gave this news in advance, and it was also an excuse for your army to participate in the war, right?"
"With the Bai Layi tragedy, in the future, if you form a coalition with Prussia, your army will enter the French territory, even if there is a reason, at least it will be famous!"
"You are cunning and treacherous enough! But I will not let your plan succeed. From today on, I will not let any British newspapers report your news. You boy, wait!"
