Chapter 436 Aiding France to Resist Commonwealth (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)
Aid France against Pu!

Standing in His Majesty's study, Ren Huabang and Liu Tongshu seemed a little nervous, but they were more excited than nervous!
After graduating from the school, I finally saw His Majesty again.They who graduated from the Five Armed Forces Academy have a subconscious mind... His Majesty is their father!

Looking at the nervous and excited young officer, Zhu Xianhai asked.

"Are you graduates from the Armed Forces Academy?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the humble minister is in the third phase, Army Captain Ren Huabang."

"Weichen is also the third phase, Army Artillery Captain Liu Tongshu."

Hearing the two people's answers, Zhu Xianhai laughed.

"There are no outsiders here, you can just call me the principal, and I say that all the children who come out of the Armed Forces Academy are my children!"

The "Armed Forces School" is said to be military, but it is actually a juvenile military academy, where the orphans of immigrants study. The establishment of the Armed Forces Academy not only cultivates excellent students for military academies, but also provides life for ordinary middle schools.In addition to learning the content of general education, students also have to learn a lot of military knowledge and military skills, and the outstanding ones are admitted to military schools—Nanhua Armed Forces School or Naval School.A considerable number of people are also admitted to specialized schools. After nine years of development, the current Armed Forces Academy has almost incorporated talents in science, engineering, business and medicine into the school. 60% of the grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers in Nanhua are from the Armed Forces Academy.There are also many professionals from all walks of life who come from schools.

In Nanhua, the status of the Wubei Academy is detached. Zhu Xianhai not only served as the principal himself, but also at the beginning of the establishment of Nanhua, Zhu Xianhai himself went to the school at least twice a week. The problem, therefore, the school did not dare to make any mistakes in school affairs.Even if he didn't have time, Elizabeth and Charlotte would visit him every week.

This is also the reason why children who come out of the school regard him as their father.Of course he also regards these children as his own.

"You are from the third period. I remember that in 64, on the way back from Beihe, I went to the school specially, just in time for you to have dinner, and I ate with you in the cafeteria. It was no different from a family, so , don't be so nervous."

Listening to the headmaster mentioning the past, Ren Huabang and Liu Tongshu barely shed tears. They were sitting in the back row at the time.Naturally, I remember the scene where they ate together in the cafeteria.

But it never occurred to him that His Majesty would actually remember all of this.Excited, they said hastily.

"The principal and his wife's kindness in nurturing, even if we are smashed to pieces, it is difficult to repay it."

"Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult since ancient times, as long as you serve the country faithfully and faithfully, remember the school motto!"

He motioned them to sit down, and then Zhu Xianhai asked.

"Aiding France to fight against Puppet was proposed by you."

"Huh? Yes, yes,"

Ren Huabang and Liu Tongshu nodded repeatedly.

Zhu Xianhai glanced at the report on the table. This investigation report was the result of their inspection of the army in France last year.

"You wrote it after you came back from France, so there must be a reason. Tell me, why do you think France is bound to fail!"

In the face of His Majesty's inquiry, Ren Huabang and Liu Tongshu naturally knew everything and said it endlessly. Of course, they analyzed it more from a military point of view, such as the mobilization of the military, and the flood of French troops. Veterans in their fifties, their long military careers have left them with poor discipline, low morale, alcoholism, and cynicism.What French soldiers may be good shooters, but not good soldiers and so on.

When they were explaining these issues from a military point of view, Zhu Xianhai did not interrupt them, but listened attentively to their explanations. When they mentioned that the French General Staff was full of promotion paths and military The chief's arbitrariness will gradually wear away all enthusiastic staff officers. When turning the French army's staff headquarters into a nursing home, Zhu Xianhai smiled. One thing is certain is that his staff staff is full of enthusiasm.

In Nanhua’s staff department, there are quite a few young military officers—the top ten graduates from military academies must go to the staff department for two years of internship, of which one and a half years is spent as a trainee staff officer in the staff department, and half a year goes to other places or even abroad for staff travel .

This is the experience of Ren Huabang and Liu Tongshu.After graduating with honors, although they did not enter the staff, they were given the opportunity to go abroad for staff trips.

Know yourself and the enemy before you can fight a hundred battles without imperil.The so-called staff travel is to fully understand the military strength and war potential of those countries.

"Oh, Your Majesty, by the way, when we were in France, we found that although the relationship between France and Prussia had seriously deteriorated due to the Spanish throne issue, they were not prepared for a war with Prussia at all, and they didn't even have a map of Prussia .”

Even now, when mentioning this matter, Liu Tongshu feels like he is telling a joke. .

"This is almost unimaginable. Since it is a neighboring country, for security reasons, it must also have a corresponding military map."

In this regard, Nanhua and France are completely different. The maps of the Nanhua Army Staff Headquarters have military maps of Peru, Brazil and other neighboring countries obtained through various channels.

Not only that, Nanhua will also send personnel to do business travel in neighboring countries, and then enrich Nanhua's military map on the travel map.

To some extent, over the years, Nanhua has been carefully preparing for war with every neighboring country.

Of course, this is a preventive measure.No one knows when the war will break out, but what is certain is that the war will definitely break out tomorrow.

There is nothing wrong with preparing today for tomorrow's war.

"Yes, there is also the weapon. Although the French Chaspo rifle is more advanced than the Dreiser needle gun, the French still use the backward front-mounted bronze gun, while the Prussian army is equipped with a Krupp steel breech 90mm gun. It has twice the rate of fire and three times longer range than the French bronze gun, and the French artillery does not have an instant fuze, only two timing fuzes are set for ordinary bombs: 1500 meters and 2800 meters, 1859 The French had given the Austrians heavy losses with their artillery superiority, and now they have no artillery superiority at all."

Ren Huabang took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice.

"There is no mobilization advantage, no advantage in soldiers, not even weapon advantage, the only advantage is the rifle, but, Your Majesty, this is the era of cannons, and the steel guns of the Prussians can tear everything from the French! I believe , the French may be defeated in a month at most!"

Sunlight shone into the room through the window, and Ren Huabang's voice echoed in the room. Zhu Xianhai sat on a chair, which was very comfortable. He looked at the young officer who made this judgment with a smile on his face.

The French did lose, and faster than they thought.

"That's why you wrote this report, and then suggested "aiding France to fight against PPR"?"

"Yes, because a strong France is in South China's interest."

As soon as Ren Huabang's words fell, Liu Tongshu immediately corrected him.

"Hua Bang, it should be said that it is a powerful French ally that is restrained by Britain is in the interests of Nanhua. Only when Britain and France restrain each other can Nanhua be able to carry out any actions in the South American continent without interference."

"You are all right!"

Liu Tongshu's correction made Zhu Xianhai laugh out loud.

"Indeed, only if the United Kingdom and France check each other can Nanhua be able to carry out any actions on the South American continent without interference. A failed France is not in the interests of Nanhua. If the Second Empire wins this war, then the situation in the entire European continent will be affected." Fundamental changes will take place, and as an ally of the Second Reich, we may also reap extremely rich rewards. Now, the only problem is..."

Looking at them with a smile, Zhu Xianhai asked.

"What can we do to achieve "aiding France against Prussia", help France win this war, and successfully complete this difficult task. After all, we all know that France is doomed to fail."

When saying the word "after all", Zhu Xianhai emphasized his tone.

"It is difficult to make the winners lose, but it is almost impossible to make the doomed losers win the war."

Zhu Xianhai went on to say,
"Moreover, we all know that it is impossible for us to send troops to France, at least not in large numbers. In this case, you tell me how we can successfully complete this difficult task."
