C320 Bismark's request

Pierre, with extreme regret for the Home Country, finally joined Xiao Letian's faction. His choice was not surprising. His parents in France were long dead, and he did not have many relatives left. He was a free man.

Furthermore, those corrupt officials had persecuted and persecuted him time and time again, causing his heart to turn cold towards the Home Country. In addition to his intense love for Fang Guan, it was within reason that he had thrown himself into Xiao Letian's camp.

Needless to say, Pierre would never know how much the three hundred thousand Gold franc had saved in his lifetime!

It was a matter of feasting on the king and being loyal to the king. Since Pierre was determined to rely on Napoleon, he would not hide his strength. After three rounds of investigation, he finally confirmed that the guard chief who disappeared along with Napoleon III should be the special envoy who went to East Asia to command battles.

"That's right, that's him. Molière is Napoleon's most trusted Guard Captain, the Knight title was given by him personally, even though his level was not high, he could definitely suppress those full of fat Governors in Asia. "You have to understand that a lot of people only get their hands on the fat governor overseas by bribing him …"

"Alright, my lord, please list out all the military forces you left behind in East Asia. Let me see how rich you are. Let me help you measure the probability of you remaining here …"

Xiao Letian nodded his head as the Dragon Lord beside him opened up the information he had prepared earlier. When Pierre saw the details of his family that was listed on the paper, the gold medal intelligence officer was completely dumbfounded.

"My God! Are you all crazy? "For you to be able to send out three hundred officers, I thought you would need at least thirty thousand modern troops at that place. Why is it so few …"

Pierre jumped up from his chair and shouted excitedly, "You only have one thousand new recruits? Only seven hundred were left? The cannons only have a dozen or so shore defense cannons? There is no cavalry, and there is not even a modern battleship on the surface of the sea? "

"You're crazy, you're crazy! How dare you get involved in the war in Europe with such little background? "A gambler, you're practically a gambler …"

Pierre's words caused Xiao Letian's face to turn slightly red. Xiao Hexin, who was beside him, could not stand it any longer and shouted, "We did not invite you here to listen to your lecture. We wanted to find a solution to this … "You don't understand how we walked this path, and I don't expect you to understand …"

"But! You brat, remember this: along the way, we have always won more with less, we have always fought with the weak, we have always been pushed to our current positions through miracles one after another. What was there to be amazed about? At most, it would just be exchanging blood for life. This old man is not afraid … "

Xiao Letian raised his hand to stop the agitated Xiao Hexin. He said calmly to Pierre, "If we were a group of people who follow the rules, we would not have risked our lives in that place of fire in hamburger. We would not have charged into France with the weak strength of three hundred people, resisting the attacks of two cavalry regiment s with all our might …"

"You saw the intelligence report before, how did I free the Ryukyu? It was stolen from a hundred thousand Japanese thugs with an unyielding aura. Not to mention fighting against the decaying Qing Dynasty, I even dared to lead an army of tens of thousands of soldiers from the camp of two hundred new soldiers … "

"How can there be no risks on the road to national revival, and how can there be no big bets? Look at Prussia now, Bismark had already squeezed out every single copper coin in the country. "It's not only the numbers on the paper that are needed to calculate the strength of the weak. It's also the aura of the strong that is unwilling to be bullied and enslaved …"

At this moment, Xiao Letian had a domineering aura on him, and Pierre was so intimidated that he couldn't say a single word, but Xiao Letian obviously wouldn't let him have the chance to talk back, "Remember this, you have no right to question the strategy that I have set out for you. The responsibility to point out the way for the future will forever rest on my back. All you have to do is to take responsibility for your tactics, that is your responsibility! "

Pierre was completely overwhelmed by Xiao Letian's imposing aura, he could not refute what Xiao Letian had said at all. If a people who had already fallen behind wanted to go back up the river, they would have to suffer even more and bleed even more. Even Prussia had to grit its teeth and squeeze out the last of its strength to rise up, let alone that backward medieval agricultural nation of the Great Qing.

Pierre retreated half a step and bowed towards Xiao Letian, "As you wish, Prime Minister! I have nothing to say in response to your words. I apologize, if a country wants to rise in power, it requires a bit of gambler spirit. It is simply wrong to follow the rules and think that all preparations are perfect before making a move. Who among the strong will give the weak the time and opportunity to prepare? "

"Very good, as long as you understand it. From today onwards, this underground room will be your workplace, I will give you sufficient information. Don't disappoint me, don't disappoint your name as the Golden intelligence officer …"

Just as Xiao Letian was thinking about this, Sima Yun walked in hastily from the outside, and said, "Master, the Prussian Prime Minister, Mr. Bismark, is here in secret. He is waiting in the garden right now."

When Xiao Letian heard that the Iron Blood Prime Minister was here again, he did not dare delay and quickly left the basement to pay his respects. On the way, he had even carefully guessed the reason for Bismark's visit.

"The Prussian army has already begun to gather in the Holstein region. If there are no major changes in history, then ten days later, on June 8th, the Prussian army will start his war against Holstein and easily win …"

"What next?" It should be the Hanover, Saxony and the Hesse region. According to history, these three little States will be easily captured by us on June 16th, and the next day, the Austria will officially declare war on Prussia … "

"What time is it? It's already so hot that I can barely see my eyebrows. Bismark actually had the time to come and see me? Prussia is going to start a war with you in less than twenty days, and you still have the time to talk to me? "

But the distance between the basement and the garden was simply too close. Before he could think of anything, he had already seen Bismark's classic big bearded man.

"Oh, my dear Prime Minister, what brings you from your busy life? Have you finally agreed to let my regiment go to war? "If that's really too good, hahaha …" Xiao Letian smiled and enthusiastically reached out his hands and held Bismark's hands tightly.

Bismark stared at Xiao Letian with his intelligent eyes, he was praising him in his heart, this was truly a good seedling, he was born to be a politician. Right now, the only thing he lacked was experience, if he had enough experience, he would definitely be a terrifying person.

"Dear Shaw, every time I see you, I have a whole new level of respect for you. To be honest, when I saw your plan for a war of opinion, I didn't believe you would succeed. However, you have once again created a miracle, you actually forced the French to a corner. Seeing Napoleon's nephew in this state, I sincerely admire you from the bottom of my heart … "

"Xiao, please remember, if you don't have enough respect in East Asia, I hope that you can consider coming to our Prussian Germany.

"Cough, cough, cough …" Xiao Letian was still a little too inexperienced compared to Bismark, he almost choked to death on his saliva "Oh God, don't make me laugh, my ability can still be considered as an elite in the Middle Ancient Kingdom. "But there's no place for me in Europe. I'm not anything here. Hahaha, you must be joking …"

One old and one young, the two foxes kept teasing each other with jokes and started to chat with each other. But today, Bismark did not have much time to beat around the bush, he directly stated his purpose for coming here.

"Shaw, the conflict with the French caused heavy losses to your military. Nearly half of your troops have been lost. This is truly a disaster. Please accept my condolences!"

"However, I have come here today not only to mourn the deaths, but also to bring you good news … I finally managed to convince the Chief of Staff and her. They've already agreed to your request to spectate the battle … "

Before Bismark even finished speaking, Xiao Letian was so excited that he almost jumped up in joy, "Oh, this is great, please convey my gratitude to His Majesty the King and Chief of Staff on my behalf. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to study this …"

"Well, let me finish." Bismark subconsciously stroked his beard, "Please remember, we have our conditions. If you want to go onto the battlefield, you have to help us train two Battalions, don't worry, it will only be a medium level army camp, a total of 600 people."

"What?" Let's help Prussia train the soldiers? Are you kidding? " Xiao Letian never thought that Bismark would have such a strange request. His own team of Expeditionary forces officials had come to Europe to be students, how did they suddenly become instructors?

"There is no need to be so surprised, there is also a reason for us to make such a decision. I will admit that when your regiment first came to Europe, we equated them with the backward armies of East Asia. But a few positive confrontations with the French have changed our view of you... "

Three hundred people were actually able to defeat a battalion of Besanthus's garrison, and even stopped two Cavalry Battalion at the border. This is already a miracle that a strong European army would not be able to accomplish, and you have to understand that during this period of time, almost all the military theorists in Europe have been studying this battle of yours.

"Your art of war does have a lot of shortcomings, but it still has a lot of highlights. For example, you guys are skilled in using Lei, and you geniuses created many different types of hand grenades. This is something worthy of our admiration."

"Also, all of you attach great importance to the earth and wood work. We have carefully studied the individual craters on the Fa Li border. To be able to complete such a perfect individual defense cover in such a short period of time is a miracle. Not a single soldier in the entire European army is interested in this kind of work …"

"A standardized weapon crater. This means that you have all systematically trained these skills. This also means that you all possess a set of thinking for the future war mode. Am I right?"

Xiao Letian looked at Prime Minister Iron-Blood in front of him and suddenly felt that this was a demon who understood people's hearts. Prussia winning three battles in his hands was not without reason, with his meticulous thinking, it was hard for Prussia not to rise.

Bismark smiled and said to Xiao Letian: "You still have a lot of exposed clues. Didn't you go to visit the Voltaire Shipyard six days ago? Have you forgotten what you yourself said? Why do you have so many secrets on you? Why do you have a mature set of Iron-armored Ship designs? "

"Pure iron armor warship, complete steam power, triple or double barreled heavy artillery, and you actually set up a rotating turret, which requires you to produce a fixed set of blooming artillery shells … Please tell me, have you ever been in the Navy? Or have you studied shipbuilding? "

Bismark stared at Xiao Letian like he was a sharp sword, as though he was trying to read's heart. "Sometimes I really have an illusion that you aren't a person of this world, it's like you're a messenger sent by God …"

"Of course, this idea is extremely laughable. I can only say that you have a mysterious team behind you that we cannot find out about, a think-tank. They have already researched the changes in the war and even the changes in the world.

"That's right. Whether it's military, political, economic, or even scientific and technological developments, you have your own set of judgement and plans. I always have a feeling that the future is unknown to us, but in your eyes... But you can see everything clearly. Are you really a prophet? "

Xiao Letian's back and shirt were already completely drenched with cold sweat.
