Something big was about to happen!

In ancient times, commanding a war had a mystical or artistic or religious feel to it. Many times, the genius of a commander could perform miracles or even lamenting defeat.

The ancient wars were too dependant on human governance. The quality of the troops and the individual style of the commanders had formed many fresh troops in the annals of history, leaving many legends behind.

However, all of these things changed after they entered the Industrial Revolution. As technology gradually took control of the core of the war, the influence of human governance gradually decreased.

The biggest change was the emergence of the General Staff system, and Prussia, which had expanded it!

After the appearance of the staff system, the war had gone from art to science, and everything could be calculated!

To put it bluntly, the general staff system was to assemble a group of intelligent people who could write and calculate, and formulate various war plans and plans for the selection.

The more powerful the staff, the more detailed and detailed the plan would be.

For example, on this mission to escort the Tongzhi Emperor back to Beijing, the New Imperial Army did not have the ability to carry out the adviser design, he did not have the manpower.

Behind the mission were the close to a hundred top students of the Chinese military universities. This was why they had the first class combat preparation and the twenty-six sets of plans.

Over a hundred unknown elite students from the military academy had obtained first-hand information from CIA and the military, including from the newly formed army telegraphs that had been sent by Ma Ming and the others.

On the basis of these data, they assessed the risks and made plans for what appeared to be a variety of outbreaks on the sand table.

For example, if they suddenly encountered a storm in the Taiwan Strait, then Plan No. 13 would be activated. At that time, Ma Ming and the others would know where a safe haven was and how much food and fresh water the Chinese had prepared in advance to send out a distress signal.

How long would it take for the Chinese Navy who saw the signal to arrive?

There was another possibility that had been set up here, which was that the Xiang Army had rebelled and detained the Tongzhi Emperor.

Through their deductions, these elite students of the National Defense University suddenly thought that the radical forces within the Xiang Army, like Jiu Shuai, were leading their troops to surround and capture Tongzhi.

How was the Xiang Army going to transfer troops? Who would cooperate, and who would resist? Those people from the local administration system would be the first to do so? What are the attitudes of foreigners?

Then, they would plan for Tongzhi's escape route. How to get to the Yangtze River, how to get reinforcements from the British warships, and how to charge back to Shanghai.

These plans had to be very detailed because they had to be prepared!

26 sets of plans were not a simple matter of writing a few papers. There must be countless manpower and resources behind these plans.

If there really was a typhoon, then the safe haven would have to store food and fresh water in advance.

If the Xiang Army is really going to rebel, you have to prepare your secret ammunition depot in advance!

Even if the evil spirits in the capital were to rebel, the Chun Sanshiniang would have to spend hundreds of thousands of silver yuan to raise the price. The capital's Chinese intelligence network was currently operating at full power!

All the success was not a coincidence, but a result of the accumulation of a huge amount of work from before!

This was science, and this was to allow Ma Ming and the others to remain calm in the face of any unexpected situations.

Of course, there could not be a hundred percent accurate General Staff as the system was not divine, and it was also operated by humans!

However, this system did increase the probability of victory. At the very least, in the face of the army of medieval thinking, this general staff system was simply too outstanding.

How could Yi Xuan understand the intricacies of this? Honestly speaking, he was simply unable to find over a hundred graduate students who were proficient in both military and mathematics. The core of the General Staff System was not the talent of any one of the staff officers.

This kind of system required a large number of people, as well as a large number of calculations.

In the current Beijing of the capital, if you, Yi Xuan could find over a hundred talents that understood algebra and geometry, Xiao Letian of the Southern Ocean would dare to bet that his surname was written backwards!

Ma Ming simply did not know how to explain the terms of the military drill to the Prince of Alcohol. He could only shout fiercely, using his voice to suppress the aura of those ass-kissers.

"Your Highness! Let me be frank! I was just going to ask, could it be that you were the one behind all this, letting those hoodlums of the capital, those eight flags, to charge into the army? "

"Right now, the three thousand New Imperial Army s are being insulted and attacked by countless hoodlums, and there are even people who are charging in directly. I'll just ask if you care or not!"

"If you say that you don't care about it, that you can't care about it if you're alive, then just follow the rules of our New Army!"

"We are currently in a state of war, it's the soldiers who fired the live ammunition! If the fire breaks out, I won't be responsible! "

After he finished roaring, Ma Ming turned and jumped onto his horse and ran back. Yi Xuan was startled, he did not care about his rudeness and immediately shouted out.

"Ma Ming! You better control the situation! "I'll be there right away …"

There was no time to pursue the matter of kowtowing or not, Yi Xuan suspected his brother, General Gui Liu, the first thing he did was to do it.

How could it not be simple for a madman who dared to privately transfer soldiers from the west to support the eight flags to discuss politics to secretly instruct some lackeys to create trouble?

Yi Xuan took the small path of an alley, the shorter the shorter the shorter, the faster he would be. When he jumped out of homostomia Dazhalan, Tongzhi's imperial carriage had not yet entered the front gate.

The civilians and soldiers did not know what had happened as they watched Prince alcohol rush into the line and pull General Gui to the side of the road.

Zai Chun also saw this scene from the corner of his eyes, but he did not lose his composure in front of the countless citizens of the capital.

When the two princes pushed them to the homostomia, the servants formed a circle and protected the two princes with their backs.

"Sixth Brother!" Are you trying to stir up trouble in the capital? Someone is assaulting the primary matrix of New Imperial Army! " Yi Xuan was sweating profusely.

General Xie said indifferently, "A hoodlum?" "Bro, you're underestimating me too much. No matter how weak I am, I won't use hoodlums!"

"It really wasn't you, brother?" Yi Xuan asked.

"What are you talking about? Why would I lie to you?" Just gather the Western Mountain soldiers and let them demonstrate a little to let Zai Chun remember a little more … Using hoodlums? I can't afford to lose face for that person! "

"Alright, isn't it just a little hoodlum? Let's just cause trouble then. Although I'm not the one who did it, it's still not bad that there's such an unexpected event. Let them know that the Eight Flag's rules are not so easily broken! "

"Let's just watch the show!"

"Ouch …" Yi Xuan stomped his feet on the ground, "Big brother, how can you think like this? Just now, Ma Ming had already come to find me. What level one battle preparation! "

"He said that the new army is currently in a state of combat … "Damn, those soldiers all have live ammunition in their guns!"

"What?" Bullet! Was Zai Chun crazy? The troops that are entering the capital to take part in the military training, dare to launch live ammunition! "

"Damn you!" This is bad, something big is going to happen! "
