320 Besmarck's Request
Pierre finally joined Xiao Letian's power with great regret for his motherland. His choice was not surprising. His parents in France had long passed away, and there were not many relatives left. He was a free man without worries.
What's more, the persecutions of those bureaucrats made him completely disappointed in his mother's country. In addition, his strong love for Fangguan, it was reasonable to devote himself to Xiao Letian's camp.
Needless to say, Pierre will never be able to pay the 300,000 gold francs of life-saving money in his life!
Eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king. Since Pierre was determined to surrender, he would not hide his own personal information. After three information sorting out, he finally confirmed that the commander of the guard who disappeared beside Napoleon III should be the special envoy who went to East Asia to command the battle.
"That's right, it's him. Molière is Napoleon's most trusted commander of guard. The title of knight was his own words. Although his level is not high, he can definitely suppress the fat governors in Asia. You should know that many people get the fat governor of the overseas governor by bribing him..."
"Okay, now please list a detailed list of all the military forces left in East Asia. Let me see how rich your family is. Let me help you calculate how much chance you can hold on..."
Xiao Letian nodded and opened the information he had prepared long ago. When Pierre saw the little information listed on the paper, the gold-medal intelligence officer was completely stunned and was in a state of dullness for ten minutes.
"God! Are you all crazy? Can you send a team of officers with 300 people out? I think you must have at least 30,000 modern troops in that world. How come there are so few..."
Pierre jumped up from his chair and shouted excitedly, "You only have a thousand new troops? You bring out three hundred and only have seven hundred left? There are only a dozen artillery guns. There are no cavalry at all, and there is not a modern warship on the sea?"
"Crazy, you're simply crazy! How could you dare to get involved in the war in Europe with such a little bit of family? Gambler, you're simply a gambler..."
What Pierre said made Xiao Letian blush slightly. Xiao Hexin next to him couldn't listen and scolded, "We invited you not to listen to your scolding, what we wanted was a solution to the problem... You don't understand how we took this path, and I don't expect you to understand..."
"But! Remember, you boy, that we have always won the most with less, defeated the strong with weak, and pushed us to our current position one miracle after another. What's so amazing? At worst, it's just blood exchange for blood and life exchange. I'm not afraid..."
Xiao Letian raised his hand to stop Xiao Hexin, and said calmly to Pierre, "If we were a group of people who stick to the rules, we would not sacrifice our lives in the place where we must die in the Hamburg fire, nor would we enter France with a weak force of only 300 people to resist the attacks of the two cavalry regiments..."
"You have also seen the previous information. How did I liberate Ryukyu? It was snatched from the hands of a hundred thousand Japanese thugs by a never-give uproar. Not to mention that I was fighting the decaying Qing Dynasty. I dared to take the camp of tens of thousands of Eight Banners for two hundred New Army..."
"How can a nation be rejuvenated without adventure, and how can it be without gamble? Look at Prussia now. The Besmai has squeezed out every copper plate in China. How fierce the conflict between Pu'ao has reached? Based on the weak and strong, what is needed is not only the data on paper, but also the energy of a strong man in people's hearts, aura of a strong man who is unwilling to be bullied and enslaved..."
At this moment, Xiao Letian was full of domineering spirit, and Pierre was shocked and could not say a word. Xiao Letian obviously would not give him the opportunity to talk back. "You have to remember that you have no qualifications to question the strategy I specified, and the responsibility to guide the future direction is always on me. What you have to be responsible for is only tactics, and that is your responsibility!"
Pierre was completely overwhelmed by Xiao Letian's momentum. He could not refute Xiao Letian's words. If a backward nation wants to go against the current, it will have to suffer more and shed more blood. Not to mention the backward medieval agricultural country of the Qing Dynasty, even Prussia has to grit its teeth and squeeze out its last bit of strength if it wants to rise.
Pierre took a step back and bowed slightly to Xiao Letian. "As you wish, Prime Minister! I am speechless. I apologize to you. A country that wants to rise must have a bit of a gambler spirit. He always thinks that all preparations are perfect before taking action. This idea itself is wrong. Who will give the weak the time and opportunity to prepare for the weak?"
"Very good, just be able to understand. From today on, this basement is your workplace. I will give you enough information. Don't let me down. Don't let you down the title of gold medal intelligence officer..."
Just as Xiao Letian was unifying his thoughts, Sima Yun hurriedly walked in from outside, "Sir, Prussian Prime Minister Mr. Besmai came to visit secretly, and is waiting in the garden now."
When Xiao Letian heard that the Iron Blood Prime Minister was coming again, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly left the basement and went to the meeting. Along the way, he carefully guessed the reason for the visit of Besmai.
"The Prussian army has now begun to assemble in the Holstein area. If history has not changed significantly, then ten days later, on June 8, the Prussian army will start a war against Holstein and easily win..."
"What's next? It should be Hanover, Saxony, and Hesse. Historical records show that on June 16th, these three small states will be easily taken down, and then on June 17th, Austria will officially declare war on Prussia..."
"When is it? It's so hot that Besmai actually has time to see me? Prussia will start a war with you in less than 20 days. Do you still have time to take care of me?"
Xiao Letian walked along the way, thinking all the way, but the distance from the basement to the garden was too close. He had not come up with any answer before he had seen the classic beard of the Besmer.
"Oh, my dear Prime Minister, what kind of wind brought you from your busy schedule? Did you finally agree to my officers' regiment join the battle? If that would be great, hahaha..." Xiao Letian smiled and stretched out his hands enthusiastically, and held them tightly with Beismai.
Beismai stared at Xiao Letian with wise eyes, and he kept admiring in his heart. This is really a good seedling. He was born to be a politician. The only thing he lacks now is qualifications. If he has enough qualifications, he will definitely be a terrible person.
"Dear Xiao, every time I see you, I can look at you with admiration. To be honest, when I saw the public opinion war plan you designated, I didn't believe in your heart that you could succeed. But you created a miracle again, and you actually forced the French into a dead end. Looking at Napoleon's nephew's unlucky look, I admire him from the bottom of my heart..."
"Xiao, please remember that if you do not receive enough respect in East Asia, I hope you can consider coming to our Prussian Germany. How about leaving my seat for you in the future?"
"Ahemhem..." Xiao Letian was still a little tender compared to Besmai. He almost choked his saliva to death. "Oh, God, don't make me laugh. My ability is still an elite in the country with the ancient and medium architecture. But Europe does not have my place, and I am nothing here, hahaha, you are joking..."
Two foxes, one old and one young, always quizzed each other with jokes and opened up the conversation. Today, Pismey didn't have much time to go around, so he directly explained his purpose.
"Xiao, the conflict with the French has caused your officers to suffer heavy losses. Nearly half of the reduction in personnel is really a disaster. Please accept my condolences!"
"But I came today not only to mourn the victims, but also to bring you good news... I finally convinced the Chief of Staff and His Majesty the King. They have agreed to your request to watch the battle..."
Before Bismai finished speaking, Xiao Letian almost jumped up excitedly, "Oh, this is so good. Please express your gratitude to His Majesty the King and the Chief of General Staff on behalf of me, thank you for giving us this opportunity to learn..."
"Okay, please let me finish my words." Bisme subconsciously touched the bearded man. "Please remember that we have the conditions. If you want to go to the battlefield, you must help us train the troops of the two battalions. Don't worry, it's just a medium-sized army camp, with a total of 600 people..."
"What? Let's help Prussia train soldiers? Are you kidding?" Xiao Letian never expected that Besmai would have such a strange request. His expeditionary officers came to Europe as a student, so why have he transformed into an instructor now?
"Don't be so surprised, there is a reason for us to make such a decision. I want to admit that when your officers' regiment just arrived in Europe, we had already equated them with those backward troops in East Asia. But the several head-on confrontations with the French have changed our view of you..."
"Your combat effectiveness made me admire you. Three hundred people can defeat the defenders of one battalion of Besanson, and even block two cavalry battalions at the border. This is a miracle that European strong army is difficult to achieve. You must know that during this period, almost all European military theorists are studying the battle you fought..."
"Your art of war does have many shortcomings, but it still has many highlights, such as your skillful use of grenades, and your genius has created many different models of grenades, which are worthy of our admiration."
"And you attach great importance to civil engineering. We have carefully studied the individual pits on the French-Swiss border. It is simply a miracle to be able to complete such a perfect individual defense bunker in such a short time. None of the entire European army attaches importance to such civil engineering..."
"The standardized individual pits show that you have systematically trained these skills, which also indirectly shows that you actually have a set of thinking about the future war model. I'm right?"
Xiao Letian looked at the iron-blooded Prime Minister in front of him and suddenly felt that this was a devil who had insight into people's hearts. It was not unreasonable for Prussia to win three battles and three victories in his hands. It was difficult for Prussia to rise without rising due to his meticulous thinking.
Beismai smiled and said to Xiao Letian, "There are still many clues you have exposed. Didn't you visit the Volkeng Shipyard six days ago? Have you forgotten what you said? How come there are so many secrets in you? Why do you have a mature ironclad ship design plan?"
"Pure iron armored shipbuilding, completely steam-powered, triple or two-unit heavy artillery, and you actually set up a rotating turret, and you require a one-piece fixed-mounted flowering shell... Please tell me, have you ever been in the navy? Or have you studied ship manufacturing?"
Beismai stared at Xiao Letian like a sharp sword, as if he wanted to understand his heart. "Sometimes I really have an illusion that I feel that you are not a person from this world, you seem to be a messenger sent by God..."
"Of course, this idea is extremely ridiculous. I can only say that behind you there is a mysterious team that we cannot find out, a think tank. They have already studied the changes in the future war situation and even the changes in the world pattern. Everything you do has exposed your heart and have already had a mature plan..."
"No mistake, whether it is military, political, economic or even technological development, you have your own judgment and plan. I always have a feeling that the future is unknown in our eyes, but in your eyes... it is clear. Will you really predict the future?"
Xiao Letian's cold sweat suddenly fell, and his shirt was completely wet.
