Chapter 487 The Prime Minister's Iron and Blood (Second Update, please subscribe)
Armor is on the move!
The Prussians are retreating, not a single division, but the entire Thirteenth Army. If someone looks at the ground from the sky, they will be able to see that the defeated Prussian army is fleeing like a bereaved dog. The world's first armored force consisting of hundreds of armored vehicles is pursuing the pursuit.

The rain of bullets from machine guns fell on the fleeing Prussians, and hundreds of armored vehicles chased tens of thousands of Prussians. This was an unprecedented scene in the history of the battlefield.

Facing the invulnerable armored vehicles, the only option for the Prussians was to flee.

And what is more deadly?
It's shelling!
At the same time that the Prussian Thirteenth Army was routed, a series of shells fell on the heads of the Prussians. At the same time, the Second Division of the Expeditionary Force launched an attack on it.

Although the Second Division only had more than [-] people, his attack was the last straw that defeated the Thirteenth Army and even the entire Fourth Army. It's inevitable.

After learning that the Thirteenth Army had suffered heavy losses from the attack of the "armored chariot cavalry" and was being attacked by the Nanhua infantry, and was retreating to the rear, Earl Moltke was stunned for a long time. As a professional military officer, he was keenly aware that he was in a very embarrassing situation-the South China Army was likely to threaten his flank after repelling the Thirteenth Army,
While ordering the Thirteenth Army to shrink to its own position, Earl Moltke reported the situation on the front line in Rouen to Moltke, the base camp.

Unlike the arrogance of wanting to announce the location of the world base camp before being bombed, after the Versailles Palace was razed to the ground, the Prussians kept a low profile. They chose an aristocratic manor in the north of Paris as their base camp, and even built a large number of buildings in the manor. air-raid shelter.

One bombing is enough to make the Prussians cautious, and even the base camp is set up in the north of Paris. Why is it here?
It will be even more urgent to retreat in the north!

"Iron armored car?"

William I could hardly believe what he was hearing.

"What kind of new weapon is this? How many new weapons do the South China people have? Are they going to turn Europe into a testing ground for new weapons?"

The reason why William I was so depressed, the answer couldn't be simpler, from bolt-action magazine-style rifles, to airships, and then some armored vehicles.

They can't hit airships, and they can't hit armored vehicles either.

Facing these new weapons, King William I was understandably depressed. He even felt that the South China Army did it on purpose, just to show off the new toys they had.

"Your Majesty, the situation of the Fourth Army is very dangerous now. Their armored vehicles may break through the Fourth Army's defense line at any time."

Mao Qi's tone seemed a little helpless.

"Since they entered the battlefield, we have underestimated them time and time again. Now, through the fighting during this period, we can basically conclude that the South China Army is a well-trained army with extremely strong combat effectiveness. What is even more terrifying is , They have new weapons that many European countries do not have. Whether it is an airship that can fly from the air, to an armored vehicle that suddenly appears, or an armored vehicle that is as fast as a train and equipped with machine guns, they will definitely be able to use it when they are put into the battlefield. Change the way war is fought."

Moltke's tone was full of helplessness. He and his staff had been preparing for this war for twenty years, but so what?

Now it seems that these twenty years have made no sense at all!
"Now, the enemy we are facing has changed. In the past, we thought that what we were facing was not just the French army. We could use diplomacy to isolate France and then defeat the French on the battlefield. But now, we The opponent we are facing is a brand new opponent whose military technology is far ahead of ours. The only fortunate thing is that this opponent has limited strength, otherwise..."

Moltke didn't continue, but William I, the king, knew very well that if the South China Army had hundreds of thousands of troops, what they encountered might not be the same result.

"Your Majesty, the current situation of the war is completely out of our plan. The French are continuing to mobilize their troops. They have purchased a large number of weapons from Nanhua. What is certain is that as the war prolongs, the strength of France is bound to It will be fully mobilized, and by then we will have to face a much tougher opponent."

In all Moltke's plans, he wanted a quick victory, because he knew that France's industry and economy far surpassed that of Prussia. There was only one way to deal with such a powerful enemy, which was to severely injure the French before they completed their mobilization. them, forcing them to carry out a truce.

"Not one, Mr. Chief!"

Bismarck stretched out two fingers aside,
"There are two, and Nan Hua, Mr. President, as you said, France is mobilizing their strength. Driven by patriotism, more and more French are joining the army. Our intelligence shows that they Millions of National Self-Defense Forces have been mobilized in various places. What the French lack now is only weapons, but they have already purchased a large number of weapons from Nanhua, and even the United Kingdom and the United States. Their factories are also producing weapons. ...perhaps in a shorter time they will have an army of more than a million men, unlike the ill-disciplined French army of the past, who will be joined by volunteers driven by patriotism, Their will is stronger, it's just the French side," he said.

When referring to the mobilization of the French, Bismarck's tone was full of helplessness, really helpless!

"What about Nanhua? It took them only one month to send nearly [-] troops to Europe. They will definitely send more troops in the future. Your Majesty, the situation is now developing in a direction that is not good for us. , It can even be said that the end of the war is already doomed in the roar of the airship and the firing of the machine guns of the armored vehicles. Whether we want to or not, we must consider the most unfavorable situation.”

What a worst case scenario!
Of course it was a defeat, but they hadn't considered this situation at all before. After all, as early as the end of the Pudan War, there was no option of "failure" in all of Prussia's plans.

"Yes, that's why, Prime Minister, now we need a truce and then peace talks..."

Before Moltke could finish speaking, Bismarck spoke loudly.

"No, there must be no truce!"
