We must use talents instead of slaves! This is Xiao Letian's motto for using people. A subordinate who is too obedient is very slave-like, but can only be successful but not pioneering. We must use it carefully.

As for subordinates who are too arrogant and too individual, although they are talented, they are also more stubborn and have to use them with such people. Xiang Ying is obviously the latter.

Cai Bixia can understand the master's painstaking efforts, and she will never miss this opportunity. "Master... Xiang Ying... No, no, it is all the officers and soldiers of our Zhiyuan, collectively willing to you!"

"Let us go out to sea in this Franco-Prussian War! We are really unwilling to do so if we don't compete with the French navy!"

"Please fight?" Xiao Letian said thoughtfully!

In this Franco-Prussian War, the general strategic idea is to give up naval warfare and win purely by land warfare! All coastlines in Prussia have completely entered a defensive state!

A long time ago, the official issued a warning order to the merchants of the empire, that once a war breaks out, all merchant ships must stay in the harbor and not leave!

There is no way to forget economic losses in this regard. War is a process of consuming wealth. Who dares not sacrifice in order to win the entire nation?

According to war chess, the outcome of this war can be decided within one month, and Prussia can still hold on for a month of losses!

Prussia was not without a navy. In the First Schleswig War, Prussia, which had no navy, suffered a great loss from Denmark. After nearly 20 years of struggle, it finally formed a small fleet of offshore combat.

Although this fleet did not have any brilliant victory in the PDA War, it also successfully restrained the Denmark's navy and eventually won the army.

However, such a fleet is really unaware of it compared to France. According to the latest intelligence, France's total tonnage of warships has reached as much as 470,000 tons.

Although some of them are old sail warships, the total tonnage of the new steam armored ship is close to half, reaching a huge amount of 250,000 tons.

It is not as good as Britain, but it is no problem to kill such a weak chicken as Prussia!

No matter how arrogant Xiao Letian is, he would not think of using a Zhiyuan to compete with the entire French fleet. Only the madman would think so.

But he thought of the silence of all the naval officers in today's meeting. This silence contained silent protests!

The Navy is using their silence to express their protest against themselves, this is a silent demonstration!

Knocking and hitting disobedient subordinates is a means that a commander must know, but if the knocking is too fierce, it will directly hurt the morale of the army and let these seeds of the future Chinese navy plant a gene that is submissive in their hearts. This is not Xiao Letian's original intention.

"Okay! I allow you to leave Hong Kong, but I won't allow you to fight against France!"

"Cai Bixia, you have to hear it clearly. I know that the Navy believes in the law of the giant waves and reefs. The fanaticism in your heart is higher than that of anyone else, but the Zhiyuan is the hope of our Chinese future navy. I will never allow any accidents in this warship!"

"You have to remember! Our navy is just starting, and in Ryukyu and Prussian shipyards, the keels of new warships have not been built yet! If something goes wrong with the Zhiyuan, we will not have the strategic weapon to suppress the enemy!"

"You can leave the port to carry out escort and patrol missions in the Hamburg waters! But once you encounter the main force of the French warship, I will retreat honestly and understand if I understand!"

"What if I encounter scattered French warships?" Cai Bixia asked.

"If one or two are alone... then what are you waiting for? Fuck him!" Xiao Letian intimately rubbed Cai Bixia's hair.

"Go! Tell Xiang Ying that bastard and the monkey kids on Zhiyuan! Go out for a break, don't say I've circled you all to death, but no one wants to cause trouble for me!"

"Yes! Head of State!" Cai Bixia saluted excitedly, then grabbed her hat and turned her head and left. As soon as she left the door, she actually trotted.

Xiao Letian shook his head, "Navy! Navy...is the heart that is twice as worrying than the Army!"

The last mobilization meeting before the war finally ended. Cai Bixia brought the military order of the head of state to exchange for the excitement of everyone on the Zhiyuan. People everywhere in the dormitory were throwing hats to the roof!

"Long live the head of state! Zhiyuan attacks!"

"Let's go back to Hamburg! Let's go now!"

Xiang Ying smiled rarely, and he hugged Cai Bixia, "Thank you! Without you, I really don't know how to speak to the master!"

"Don't thank me, thank yourself! If you hadn't had a very satisfactory answer to the master's question today, the master would not have let you go!"

"Today, the master said, you are a piece of beautiful jade, but it's too crisp! You can't always be so proud! You can't always have so much anger in your heart..."

"I know, I know... I will change, I will listen to you, I will change!"

Fifteen minutes later, all the officers and soldiers of the Navy gathered on the lawn outside the head of state’s office window and saluted and said goodbye to the head of state!

Xiao Letian did not show up. He hid behind the curtains and looked at them secretly. He knew that if he showed up at this moment, these angry young people would probably be three times more enthusiastic!

The Navy left Berlin early and took a train to Hamburg. The Zhiyuan was waiting for them at the Hamburg military port.

The army's departure was much slower than the navy. It was not until 10 o'clock in the evening that all the two thousand special forces members had assembled. They boarded the train that had been waiting for a long time in the dark!

In the iron container, the special forces members sat on the hay, leaning against each other, closing their eyes to rest, while some soldiers looked at the dark night outside through the gaps in the container.

Wang Chen didn't sleep all the way. His head was leaning against the container, and there was a gap in front of him. Through this, he could clearly see the unique night in Prussia.

The train gallops on the rails, forests, buildings, mountains in the dark... form groups of black lights and shadows with different thicknesses. Only after a long period of adaptation can you see their outlines clearly.

Villages and towns appear in front of you from time to time, and the scattered light of candles and oil lamps is like stars in the dark night!

Suddenly, there was a bright light in front of me. The excitement of Wang Chen quickly closed his eyes. It was the lights of a busy railway station, and the torches and kerosene lamps were as bright as day.

All the stations were busy, and the unloading workers were so tired that they were sweating profusely loading and unloading various supplies on the truck!

The soldiers waiting for the army lined up in an orderly manner and sat on the platform, looking at the number of more than a thousand people!

The torches were clear along the dirt road along the railway, and the mules and horses and carriages that could not be seen were rolling forward with unknown types of supplies!

"It's so exciting! This is called war! This country is crazy and everyone is mobilized!"

"When will the Chinese be so united! When will the Chinese be so mobilized?..."
