C2876 Year old lieutenant

The marshal looked extremely desolate, as if he was reminiscing about his teenage life. However, very quickly, he shook his head. "Actually, I'm the same as you. I've been slowly walking up from the bottom level. I've seen poverty, and I've had a taste of the whites of my eyes …"

"If there was any difference, perhaps my family would still be able to keep me warm and full at that time and I would still receive some education. This is perhaps the difference between me and all of you …"

"Other than that, I'm the same as all of you … We are all people who are far away from power and wealth. We are all the foundations of the pyramid, but I can just see a bit of sunlight, and all of you are buried deep underground, not even a speck of light can be seen … "

At this point, the marshal's expression became solemn. And what has changed our destiny? It was the Great Revolution! "We must always remember that it was the revolution that changed our lives!"

"Without the Revolution, there would be no human rights. There would no longer be the concept of equality for all. There would no longer be commoners who could be conferred the title of nobility!"

"Before the revolution, the world was dark. The nobility were always categorized by bloodlines. This lowly commoner would never change his or her fate!"

"Without the Revolution! What are we? "Nothing, we are just bullsh * t!"

"Others can take away our money as they please, others can trample on our food as they please, and our wives and daughters can be insulted as they please …" And we can't resist at all! "

"Because someone always tells you that you are born poor... That is your life! "

"Why!" McMahon loudly asked, "Why not? Anyway, I won't accept it! The people of France were also unwilling! This is what led to the revolution that changed the world! "

"Children! All that we have right now is the inheritance of the Great Revolution. We have always been eating the inheritance that this ancestor used his life to exchange for us! "

"Look outside now!" Look at the armed Prussian thugs! They're not the same as us, they're not the same … "

McMahon stood up and pointed in the direction of the enemy without fear, "Look, those people are different from us … Prussia is still a feudal monarchy! and their social structure is completely different... "

"Feudal dictatorship! They are the military feudal dictatorship of the country! All they have to do is destroy everything before our very eyes! "

"Do you know what Prussia's society is like now? Their citizens are extremely miserable. Although they relied on their hypocritical nationalism and whips to arm a huge army, but you must remember, those foolish soldiers will never change their fates by relying on their military exploits! "

"The ones who get the most rewards will always be descendants of the Junker nobility, as well as descendants of the Hohenzollern family … The civilians want to change their fates? Dream on! "

"Am I not an example of reality? I, a descendant of the Zhan Musi Party from a commoner's background, can become a marshal by virtue of my military exploits, and I can even be conferred the title of a Duke! "

"This will never happen in Prussia!"

"Bismark, Mao Qi, Steinmetz … Look at the ministers of the Prussian court! They are all nobles, all of them are descendants of the feudal aristocracy! "

"This is the difference between us and them!"

"From the bottom of our bones, we are not a single country! "Although we are now an empire, our empire was born after inheriting the inheritance of the Great Revolution!"

"The glory of the Revolution flows through every pore of our empire!"

The surrounding soldiers were dumbfounded by what they heard! What the marshal said sounded so strange and distant, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully.

At this time, a young voice from the crowd called out, "Marshal!" Do you mean to say that you have given up the empire and become a republican? "

"Does your words mean that you have given up on His Majesty and chose China instead!"

His words were like a thunderclap that caused the surrounding people to be dumbstruck. The officer behind McMahon even took out his command blade. Who's talking nonsense, do you dare to frame the Marshal? "

To dare to openly question the marshal, even saying that the marshal was abandoning the empire and emperor to support the Republic, if this hat was confirmed, it would be a heinous crime!

A group of the Marshal's direct line officers wanted to arrest that audacious person and shoot him. However, when they were looking for him, a very young officer walked out from among the soldiers.

McMahon was stupefied when he saw it, it was not because he recognized the soldier, but because the soldier was too young, and looked to be around twenty years old.

But this young man was actually a first lieutenant!

According to the customs of the French army, a first lieutenant could become a first platoon officer or vice company officer, but he was still too young!

"Young man? How old are you this year? " Not only was McMahon shocked at his young age, he was even more surprised at how fearless this child was.

"Eighteen!" The young man proudly stuck out his chest and said.

"AHH!" The crowd clamored. "So young?" It's fake, right? Impossible … Eighteen-year-old lieutenant? "

The youth looked as if he had been humiliated. His face immediately flushed red. "Are you questioning me?" I am a student of the Polytechnic Academy of Paris, my major is in engineering! "

"I have been specially recruited, and am currently serving in the Wansenaar Cannon Regiment! Mace, Salon still have lechery … There are artillery positions built under my supervision! "

Oh! All the soldiers including the Marshal realised what was going on, as McMahon raised his hand to stop his underlings from acting rashly.

"So he's a future national engineer! "Sure enough, you were recruited through special recruitment. I admire your patriotism!"

"With a group of youngsters like you in the motherland, there will be hope!"

"The question you just asked is very sensitive, but for university students like you, asking such a question is not a surprise!"

"After all, you all live in Paris, a place with complicated thoughts. As long as you come into contact with a lot of new thoughts, you will naturally have questions …"

The Paris Polytechnic School is actually the 21st century Paris Polytechnic University!

This school was born in the time of the French Revolution. At the beginning, it was an engineering science academy, but later Napoleon upgraded it to a military academy.

The most famous standard of this school was the two crossed cannon statues that Napoleon had gifted him.

The cannon represented the military, while the X represented an unknown number in mathematics. The intention behind this was self-evident!

It was worth mentioning that this academy was the ancestor of all the science and technology universities in the future. It was this academy that had established this model of education.

In the future, all the universities of certain science and technology would be the Paris Polytechnic University.

In 1870, the France's Ministry of Defence had further improved its management of the school. A general in active service had become the school's manager, and all the students had been granted military ranks from the moment they entered the school.

In school, they all had the name of 'student officer'. Once they were recruited, they would be granted a corresponding military rank. This was the origin of the 18-year-old first lieutenant.
