C260 Decision of the Forces nouvelles

Gathered training late at night was definitely something new for the people of the 19th mid-century leaf. That era's electricity technology had yet to be invented, and even light bulbs had yet to appear.

In those days, there were indeed some classic night battles, but most of them were against cold weapons. It was rare to see real organized night battles, not because European commanders were incompetent, but because of the restrictions imposed.

An army of a few hundred thousand soldiers carrying out a night battle was an almost impossible task. Putting aside the question of how to command it, just the illumination of the battlefield was enough to make it difficult for all the military officers.

The majority of the soldiers needed to stand up with their hands in battle to load the guns with ammunition. They didn't have a third hand that could hold a torch to light themselves up, and it was also very difficult for him to find the enemy's trail and aim at them in the dark.

This kind of situation would only be broken when the standard bullets were more common. At that time, the soldiers could lie down on their knees, hide in the trenches, and fire from the bullets. The soldiers' ability to break through the enemy's defenses had been greatly enhanced. The activities of small troops, in the form of platoons, became the key to victory on the battlefield, and that was when the night battles would begin.

The European military experts did not have a discerning eye that could see through history, but Xiao Letian did! The Transcender knew very well that the German Mauser had been born in the Poo War, but for various reasons it was not widely used. When the Franco-Prussian War came, this historical spear that could change the way the army fought would soon be popular in the entire army.

It was this kind of needle-like rifle, loaded with custom-made ammunition, that ended the army's long history of queuing up and shooting, and the advances in technology that changed the patterns and thinking of human warfare.

Xiao Letian's new army did not dare guarantee anything, as they knew that he would definitely take first place in the night battles globally.

From the looks of it, the 300 new soldiers were already familiar with the process of gathering in the middle of the night. Although they drank wine during dinner, the high intensity training had already formed a conditioned reflex for them.

Three minutes later, the fully armed soldiers gathered in the courtyard and began to rapidly march towards the northern forest.

In the pitch-black night, the sound of boots trampling on the ground could be heard. The long breaths of the soldiers came together as one, as if there was a huge monster madly running in the darkness.

From the looks of it, the Hamburg recruit's camp was already familiar with the crazy actions of this group of Chinese. The sentries looked around and mumbled something, then they went back to their duties. As for the Prussian soldier that were sleeping in the army camp, he didn't even have the interest to turn around.

In April, hamburger's weather was neither hot nor cold, it was extremely comfortable. When everyone reached their designated target, they did not even sweat. The next step was to retrieve the target point for infiltration. Each row of people began to specify their own path of concealment as everything proceeded in a silent and orderly manner.

Leo fixed his eyes on these soldiers. This was the first time he was following the new army to gather at night. At first, he was indeed a little grumbling, but as his mind became clearer, he gradually felt the terrifying power of these soldiers.

"To be able to go from a sound asleep state to a fully armed state in three minutes, to be able to receive orders immediately, and to plan and execute the operation in a matter of minutes? This is such a terrifying efficiency, compared to these soldiers, Prussian Army is bloated and sluggish like a fat pig … "

Sima Yun, who was standing beside Lei Ao, heard his mutterings. At this time, Sima Yun was already able to understand more simple German, so he more or less understood Lei Ao's words.

"Our great reporter, do you have any doubts? Was this low intensity training even worth mentioning? If you knew that we had spent the whole night lurking in the cold snowy plains, living on a tropical island without any supplies for a week, then it would not be too late to be surprised … "

Leo was shocked. He had never heard of such a devilish training method. This had completely overturned his impression of the army. His heart was in turmoil. If such a soldier could be called weak by a nation like this, then what was the definition of strong?

Just as he wanted to continue the conversation with Sima Yun, the patrolling sentry suddenly ran over.

"Reporting, Sir, there is an unknown light in the west. It seems like there is a fire in the hamburger!"

"What?" Several military officers quickly raised their binoculars and looked to the west. The result was exactly the same. In the west, at the junction of the rural and urban areas, half the sky had turned red. Faintly, a chaotic roar could be heard.

"Lehman, come take a look. Where is this place?"

"Oh, that's the warehouse area at the dock. From the looks of it, that should be the winery I frequent … "Oh god, I remember now. There's an orphanage nearby. I've interviewed before …"

"Assemble, emergency assembly, the training has been cancelled, now it's time for actual combat …"

Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Luo Huo, Bing Tai Lang, Yepingtai … The officers of the new army, together with Lei Ao and Jonas, gathered around each other and started to discuss nervously.

"Save him, that's for sure. I've estimated the distance, it should be about five kilometers. The west side of the forest is filled with grape fields, they can't stop us at all …"

"It's not a problem to save them. The key is that we don't have any equipment to save the fire … Lei Ao, don't you have a fire brigade in hamburger?

"Of course there is, but it's too far away. Moreover, this is the storage area, and there are flammable goods everywhere. The fire brigade might not have enough people …" "I implore all the officers here not to stand idly by. Our seats are the closest …"

Jonas patted Lei Ao's shoulder, hoping that he would calm down. "Don't be agitated, Lei Ao. I believe in the moral character of these Oriental passions! "

Jonas then said honestly to the Chinese officer s immediately: "Gentlemen, I must tell you the truth, I hope that you all can lend a hand, but I also want to tell you the consequences of this matter …"

"Right now, although your identities are not an absolute secret, it is only a legend in the mouths of the citizens of hamburger. "If you enter the city today, it will mean that you will officially appear in front of the Europeans. In less than three days, the entire Europe will know about this information …"

He frowned, not knowing how to start. After a long while, he finally made a decision, "Gentlemen, there is something that I should not have told you, it is classified as top secret. Your Prime Minister, Mr. Xiao Letian, is on his way to the hamburger. He has come to Europe secretly … "

With a hong sound, Xiao Hexin and the others were in an uproar, "Are you speaking the truth? The Prime Minister was here? The Mr. Xiao had actually caught up? "Why are you so fast?"

Jonas sighed with a bitter face, "The Prime Minister walked on the Sinai Peninsula, so he is much faster than the rest. But you have to understand that the French have their eyes on the Prime Minister now and they are mobilizing all their forces to capture him, even though they do not know who this mysterious group of Chinese are... "

"If you guys were to appear in hamburger today, I believe that French spy would immediately link these two matters together. Even if they were unable to guess Prime Minister's identity, they would be able to guess that the person they are trying to capture is definitely a great character …"

"As long as the French can stop Prussia's rise, they can do anything. When that happens, the Prime Minister will be in danger …"

This was a huge problem, and the young officers were caught in a dilemma. On one side was a fire that needed help, and on the other side was their leader being chased by the French. This choice was simply too difficult.

Leo could see the hesitation in the eyes of the Chinese. He scratched his hair desperately. The fire is threatening the lives of hundreds of orphans. What about the gifts you Chinese believe in? How can you just stand by and watch us die! "

Leo's words caused the boys to blush, but there was nothing they could do about it. Now that the adults were trapped by the French, the slightest mishap could lead to danger. Just as Jonas had said, with the appearance of the English and French, they would definitely be able to guess the identity of the mysterious stowaway.

When that time came, it would not be the intelligence officer hunting Xiao Letian together, they would even use the army and navy to encircle and annihilate him. This was not China, and not that Ba, there was no way to hide his eastern face at all.

Time passed minute after second, the young lad was anxious to the point of perspiration, especially Bing Tai Lang and Yepingtai, at this time the typical Japanese type of stupidity once again flared up.

"No, we have to ensure my father's safety. I definitely won't allow my father to be in danger …" I voted against it, I'm dead set on it... " Xiao Bingtailang could not care so much, he only had eyes for Master Father.

At this time, Yepingtai also stood up, and apologetically bowed to the two German. "I'm sorry, I have to vote against it too, because Prime Minister carries the burden of East Asia's rise, the hope of countless Asian peoples.

Lei Ao's nose turned sour as tears gushed out of his eyes, "Good, good, good. This is the morality of you people from the East. I have finally experienced it …" Take your stinking money! " After speaking, Leo took out a handful of silver coins from his pocket and tossed it onto the ground.

"I can't take this job anymore! I'll go fight the fire myself! " With that, she turned around and ran towards the west.

At this time, Jonas also stood up and sighed, "I understand your choice, you guys also have your difficulties, but I have to go save them, that is my morality!" Saying that, she chased after Leo.

"Fuck, they're forcing us to our deaths!" Luo Huo smashed his fist on the ground, causing two silver coins to be smashed deep into the ground.

Just then, Xiao Hexin suddenly stood up, he looked at all the soldiers and shouted, "Brothers, do you remember what the lord said before he left? To raise the might of our country, to raise the military might of our Han people! "Let me ask you, have you forgotten …"

All the soldiers subconsciously stood at attention and saluted. "All of you, never forget!"

"Fine, fine, fine. Let me ask you, what exactly is national might and military might? A brave charge on the battlefield? Or build mountains out of the heads of tens of thousands of enemies? "No, no, no, your understanding is one-sided. You don't even know what the lord is thinking …"

"The army's only mission is to protect, to use such a violent method to protect!" Protect those who deserve to be protected! Right now, the hundreds of orphans are in dire straits. We saw them but did not do anything, so how are we different from those Hedonist Eight Flag and Green Battalion Elders? "

Xiao Hexin almost used up all the air in his lungs to shout, "Remember our identities! We are a new army, a new army that carries the hopes of a people. We are not greedy, selfish thugs, this has never been something that an adult wanted … "

"Now, I command you! All have... To the west, to the fires, to tell the Europeans what we Chinese look like, and what our military might is like! "

"I firmly believe that my lord will make the same choice as me! A righteous choice! "
