The humiliation of 40,000 troops
Damn! Xiao Letian was so angry that he couldn't speak. He thought to himself what a big face! He could still put his waist on his back and look proud and proud!
Did the dignified Bavarian Kingdom take out 40,000 troops to perfunctorily deal with this war?
On the train, Prince Lyuthbord spoke of 100,000 elite troops, but when he arrived at the king, he was deducted 60,000 yuan and turned into 40,000 yuan.
Who does the country listen to? Who is the real power of this country? Children, it’s not OK to play like this. If you play like this, you will be looking for death for yourself!
Xiao Letian's face was a little overwhelmed. If he had not received Princess Sissi's request, he would not say any more words at this moment. He would only remind him indirectly, and then he saw that the king was not very good at it, so he could only go home.
Originally, the life and death of this young king had nothing to do with Xiao Letian. He had no responsibility to save him if he wanted to commit suicide.
But think about it, this is Princess Sissi's cousin. If he was really plotted against, Princess Sissi would probably be very sad for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Letian sighed in his heart, and the expression on his face became cold. He felt that he wanted to say a few serious words and hit the king.
"Dear Your Majesty, I have some questions, I hope you can solve the doubts!"
"The Kingdom of Bavaria is the second largest kingdom in the German Federation after Prussia, with a total population of more than 6 million. The land is vast and the people are rich!"
"As far as I know, Bavaria's standing army is as high as 300,000 at this moment! And you are only willing to invest 40,000 troops in this war. Don't you think this number is a bit small?"
"No, no... Head of State, why did you say this? I don't know how many troops my own country has? Of course we have 300,000 troops, but this is the number obtained by adding up the reserve and police forces!"
"We cannot devote all our troops to fight. We still have to leave a large number of troops to guard the place. 40,000 is really our limit."
"What's more, we have to provide sufficient supplies for these 40,000 people. This doesn't cost Prussia a penny. Doesn't this represent my sincerity?"
Xiao Letian was so angry that he thought to himself that you really fool us. Do you want to show off in front of us, just like you, a half-year-old child, want to show off in front of us?
"Your Majesty, please think carefully. During the Prussian-Austrian War, you stood firmly with Austria, and you and Mr. Besme were in a hostile relationship."
"At that time, you had already invested 40,000 troops to support Austria. That was four years ago. After the war, Bavaria has never stopped preparing for war. Your new recruit battalion has been expanding. Can you only be able to use 40,000 troops in four years?"
"This number really does not represent your sincerity. If this number is brought to Prussia, it may have some bad effects..."
Xiao Letian's reminder is very clear, and he just can tell the king that the number of 40,000 troops will probably have side effects once it is reported.
At that time, the Prussians will not feel grateful, but will think that these 40,000 troops are a shameful number, and you are just underestimating them!
However, Xiao Letian never expected that the Pakatan Harapan War was a thorn in Ludwig II's heart. Basically, no one dared to touch this thorn, and whoever touched it would be unlucky.
The young king's face turned slightly red, "Sorry, respected head! I don't quite understand what you mean. How could you understand the changes in Europe in Asia than me?"
"Doesn't I, the king of Bavaria, know my own country as well?"
"Who told you that we have been expanding our army for the past four years? Who told you that I have 300,000 elite troops in my hands now? You are also a veteran on the battlefield. You should know that the number of troops on paper is completely different from the ones that can actually fight."
"Prussia claims to have 2 million troops to the outside world, but how many people can he use to fight? In fact, the elite legion is only 400,000 or 500,000."
"The Bavarian people advocate peace and do not have the ambitions of the Prussians to conquer the whole world, so we will not engage in a military-style national policy!"
"So 300,000 troops are just numbers on paper, including reserves and police forces. If I really want to fight, I can only take out 40,000 or more and there is no one else!"
"If Bismey thinks that the number of troops I provide is too small, it is his problem! I have fulfilled my obligations to the offensive and defensive alliance... It seems that the Covenant has not written, how many troops I must provide!"
"You think there are very few, I think there are already many!"
Xiao Letian looked at the young king with his eyebrows intently saying, "Your Majesty! It seems that you have extremely no confidence in this future war. Have you already decided that Prussia will lose?"
"Because you are full of pessimism about this war, you don't want to invest too much troops. You just want to go through a motion in this war and leave room for negotiations with the French, right?"
"I think you can get rid of this delusion as soon as possible, my dear! Never believe your own intuition, because your intuition is really not as accurate as you imagined!"
"When the Prussian-Austrian War, you stood firmly on the Austrian side. You felt that the orthodox Habsburg state must be very powerful! Prussia could not win at all!"
"What's the result? Austria was beaten to the ground by the Prussians, and you were forced to seek peace from Prussia and finally signed the offensive and defensive alliance treaty!"
"You have forgotten this matter. Do you still have to repeat the mistakes from four years ago? Continue to bet on the wrong treasures in future wars?"
"Please pay attention to your words! Yuan was born first!" Ludwig II's glass heart had sounded now. If Xiao Letian said a few more words, he would probably break into a piece of scum.
"Prussia won the war two years ago at all! It was nothing more than borrowing the light of advanced weapons and taking the lead in popularizing the later-installed needle-punch rifle!"
"The Austrians caught them off guard, which made them lucky to win. In fact, Besmer knew very well their own strength. Otherwise, why wouldn't they dare to take advantage of the victory and pursue troops to Vienna after the war?"
"Because they themselves understand that they do not have that great strength to completely defeat Austria. In that war, Austria had mobilized more than 150,000 reinforcements in the rear. If these 150,000 reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, the situation of the war would reverse. Prussia would not think enough to take advantage of the slightest advantage!"
"I never believe in the luck in wars. Prussia can be lucky once. Can they be lucky twice? That's right! I just don't like this war. I think it's impossible for them to win the war against France by luck!"
Xiao Letian kept sighing and shook his head, thinking that he was such a rookie! Rookie!
I could force out the truth in my heart in just one or two words. How many losses would a person like this have to suffer in the future!
