C1852 Benjamin had already seen through everything …

Deep in the night, in Prime Minister's residence's study, two silver candlesticks on the desk lit up with more than ten snow-white candles, boiling hot candle tears flowed down. The flickering candle light made the Prime Minister's eyes shine, while the corner of the room was dark orange.

On the table were various classified intelligence reports between Prussia and France. As British spies gathered information on the armaments of both sides, the mood for war was growing.

From the rude and reprimanding of the King of Prussia by the French, the originally somewhat ameliorated Prussian situation suddenly changed. Bismark became a man with iron mask after a while.

He shouted that he was preparing for the king's glory, signed conscription orders, and that the Krupp project had received orders for dozens of cannon, and that all the production lines had been mobilized.

The resident elite troops had already started distributing equipment for pre-war adaptive training, and the state reserve soldiers were beginning to gather in the barracks. The sound of bugles and the shouts of soldier training filled the air.

The fully integrated Prussian Legion began to move towards the south. Although they did not come into contact with the Prussian border, the smell of gunpowder was already very strong.

Across Prussia, the railway network began overloading. Coal, steel, wood... All sorts of war preparations began to be distributed, and one by one, the soldiers of each division began to use the railway network to carry out the national assembly.

In every city in Prussia, with the issuance of interest-free war government bonds, the citizens silently cast the last Finney in their piggy bank into the melting pot of war.

After many years of education, all the Prussian s understood one thing, only someone of iron and blood could save Germany, the happiness of the people must be built on the basis of the strong foundation of the country, only a strong country can charge out of the British prison to snatch meat from the whole world.

This was something every Prussian child understood. There was not the slightest bit of anti-war sentiment in the country, so everyone held their breath.

"Defeating the France, stealing the French overseas colonies... unify Germany, we want to snatch wealth from the entire world! "

Benjamin, who was trapped in a fantasy, suddenly shivered. The illusory sound of the password in his mind caused him to feel extremely terrified. Bismark was indeed a difficult opponent to deal with, this point was unquestionable.

Pushing aside Prussian intelligence and looking at France, the situation was a little grim. The proud Frenchmen were not as efficient at preparing for war as Prussia was.

Prussia now had more than two hundred thousand legions, but the French side had apparently mobilized three hundred thousand troops, but the data from the spies showed that only half of those three hundred thousand men had actually been prepared for battle.

There was no mistake. War was not a game in which weapons were being played. Both sides were also not playing a game of mathematics, so what did it mean to be prepared for battle? What did it mean to have completed the mobilization? What was a formal gathering?

Take a look at Prussia's preparations. Their army was made up of veterans, who had been examined and distributed ammunition for three days of operations. The rations were distributed to everyone.

The transition from a garrison state to a combat readiness one required intense warm-up training, as well as dozens of consecutive pre-war maneuvers to boost the morale of the soldiers.

Even the military's top secret combat plans had been sent to the various units in the battalion!

Only through this kind of organization, through this series of processes, would the army be able to join the war in the next second. This was called true combat preparation.

On the other hand, France had been living too smoothly. The country had not experienced a war for a long time, and the entire national machinery had rusted. All the bureaucrats had an unbelievable romantic optimism, as if a war wouldn't happen.

The soldiers who had been raised in the barracks for several years were lazily heading to the northern assembly area. Many of them had not even had time to change their rifles, and the distribution of twenty to thirty rounds of bullets was not even enough for an hour of intense combat.

Many troops were still preparing for war and had yet to obtain new military uniforms, first aid kits, and other supplies.

At this moment, France only had 150,000 troops that could directly pull them into the battlefield for high intensity battles. Only 150,000!

Benjamin massaged his temples in pain. "It can't be like this, what I want is a bloody battle where both sides will suffer, not a one-sided crushing from Prussia's side!"

"France, as the second place holder of the position of British Empire, should be beaten by Prussia. Only by doing this should we be able to open up a gap between the second place and the first place …"

"France can't be any stronger. This war must hurt their bones and make them bleed!"

"However, I will absolutely not allow Prussia to win too easily... This crazy nation, the entire country was like a machine, strict and ruthless! "If they were able to retain their military might and easily defeat France, they would definitely pose a huge threat to Britain in the future!"

"Damned Xiao Letian, must you create new problems? It wasn't easy for me to balance the strength of both of them, and it took me so much difficulty to create a situation where both of them are heavily injured. Do you really have to disrupt this balance? "

Benjamin looked at the flickering candle flame as if he was looking at Xiao Letian's smelly face, "God will punish you! If you throw out this information, it will definitely damage the French Emperor's image. You will cause the number of people in Europe supporting Prussia to skyrocket, and you will cause the anti-war sentiment in France to surge! "

"Damn it, once this common hatred is formed, Prussia will fight for a lot of diplomatic support. It will also make it easier to recruit angry young men into the army, and their military resources will increase by at least 30%!"

"What kind of demon did you transform into? Ah … Xiao Letian, what exactly are you? "Why are you so hard to deal with!"

This was a truly mature politician, obviously he had to let the France dry its blood, but during the process, he could not let the France to be too weak. If Ol 'Three wanted to challenge the Second Brother's position, then he had to cripple both sides a little.

Benjamin saw through Xiao Letian's intentions behind the article with a glance.

"Xiao Letian! Are you trying to give Prussia more points from the people's hearts? To give the French Emperor less points! "Not only that, the fact that you threw out this information in advance is also an excuse for your troops to join the war, isn't it?"

"With the Belait tragedy at the bottom, in the future, you and Prussia will form an alliance, and your army will be able to set foot on French soil.

"You are cunning and treacherous! "But I will not let you succeed. From today onwards, I will not let any English newspaper report on you. You just wait!"

"I will not let you be complacent! Do you want to fish in troubled waters? Dream on! "
