Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Damn it!" Where the telegraph is, immediately take over from us! "Tell our logistics officer to count the supplies immediately!"

In such a serious situation, Captain Ke Lisituofu had quickly taken over control of the fortress.

"Report, Guild Leader!" How the hell did these bastards manage to get their supplies ready, I can't believe my eyes! "

"Look, the whole stronghold only has enough bread and flour to feed two thousand soldiers for half a month, but the dried sausages and salted meat are more than ten tons. This is enough for us to eat until Christmas!"

"There are no medical pills at all, but there are more than a thousand salt bars and five hundred Spanish ham? Is this for us to pickle the bacon? "

"And the worst thing is, there are no tents, not even a single one. How are we going to complete our mission like this?"

The more the logistics officer spoke, the more anxious the Captain became. He received the order to temporarily let his regiment serve as the Rangers and control the fifty kilometre border to the north of Verdun.

Such a mission required the disbanding of the main force and the release of the main force. The necessary camping had to be done, and they even needed to intercept and release the Prussian soldiers at night.

"No tents, no first aid, not even enough bread, how can I fight? How do you think I should fight it! " The captain angrily whipped the guard officer.

"Sir..." I can't do anything about it, sir. I can't produce any supplies, either. I've applied for empty space before, but I haven't been able to deliver it to you! "

"But the things that I don't need have been delivered two to three times in succession … That's why there's this kind of situation! "

"Don't be angry, there's no bread to eat, and there's sausages to eat. There's enough sausages! "

"F * ck your daughter! Do you want my war horse to eat sausages too? Everything else is easy, the horse material must be taken care of! " The captain was so angry that he wanted to whip him again.

"Sir, sir!" "It's summer now, and there's plenty of grass outside. Why don't we just let the horses eat it …"

"F * ck your daughter …" The captain, who was flustered and exasperated, lashed out with a whip.

"This is a war horse! Do you know what war horses are? Horses had to eat alfalfa grass, mixed with yellow beans and even eggs! If not, my horse will not have the strength, and I will not lead my soldiers to charge into battle! "

"You damned bastard, fuck your daughter..." Do you think that the war horse is your donkey? "

After lashing out the guard officer's whip, the problem could not be solved in the end. There was really no other way, Ke Lisituofu could only narrow the area of defense and reduce the number of patrolling, first he had to use the limited resources in his hands!

"Give me the telegram, I'm going to sue these damn bureaucrats to the military! I want to appeal to the Crown Prince! "

"Wait …" The crown prince could not resolve this matter, so he sent a telegram to the empress! We are cavalry regiment Ou Renni, we are the Queen's personal guards! Who else can you find if not the empress? "

Very quickly, Verdun's emergency telegram was sent to the Tuileries' Palace, at this time, one could see the use of titles. If it was an ordinary army, who would dare to directly send a telegram to the Tuileries' Palace?

Even if they had, the staff of the Palace Telegraph Room would not have passed it on to His Majesty or the Empress, and such a trespassing telegram would have been sent back to the Ministry of War at the first possible moment. At that time, the person who sent the telegram would also be severely punished!

But Queen's cavalry Ou Renni was not restricted by this rule. Even though their direct subordinates were in the military, but according to the laws of the empire, their direct superior was the Empress … Although the empress wouldn't give them an order directly, the law was the law and the rules were the rules.

Right now, the Queen's cavalry regiment was sending a telegram to his immediate superiors. There was no reason for the operators of the imperial palace not to send him the message. Soon enough, Captain Ke Lisituofu's telegram was placed on the Queen's desk.

was stunned when she saw the message. Of course she knew that the imperial bureaucracy was a bit behind schedule, a bit corrupt, and a bit of a dereliction of duty … However, they never expected that the situation would turn out like this. Even the military supplies were thrown into chaos.

The frowning empress took the telegram and went to look for her husband. The moment she pushed open the study door, she found out that her precious son was already quarreling with her father!

"Father, I ask once again that we negotiate with Prussia. We weren't prepared at all! "

"The empire is in chaos right now. Either the army cannot find military rations, or they cannot find medical supplies. The warehouses here are either too many or too few!"

"Those who need tents, on the other hand, have endless Soldier rations, and those who need explosives, on the other hand, have bullets and cannonballs that are like mountains …"

"Those who need salt, we've found a warehouse tent, and those who need medical supplies, we've found a room full of explosives!"

"Father!" How are we going to fight! And the most terrifying thing is the chaotic railway system. If we have enough trains and enough miles, we can solve all these problems! "

"At most, we can just temporarily transfer the supplies!" "But now, I can't even find a train. I can't even find the smallest possible location. I can't even find a train that can coordinate the transportation!"

"Father!" It's too dangerous, we can't fight this battle, it's not because I'm timid! It's just that we aren't prepared at all! "

"At least another month of dispatch time! It will take at least another month! "

Napoleon III sat on the chair, his face ashen. He did not even look at his own son, and only listened silently.

"There's no retreat path, we have to fight this battle. We can't not fight!"

"I feel that my son is right …" At this moment, the empress pushed open the door and walked in. When the father and son inside saw their wives and mothers arrive, they all stepped forward to greet them.

"Mother, why have you come?" Prince Eugen quickly helped his mother to sit down.

"I also know the severity of the problem. Just now, I received a telegram saying that my Queen's cavalry just arrived at Mundin City, and the problem that he encountered is exactly the same as what his son said!"

After saying that, he placed the telegram in front of his husband, "Look at the chaos. There are no more horse material on the war horses, no more bread for the soldiers, but there are plenty of salt and sausages. "Just what kind of chaos is this …"

The Prince Eugen seized the opportunity and quickly said, "Yes, Mother is right. My France's overall national strength is much higher than Prussia's! To say ten times or a hundred times is just bragging, but to say four or five times more than Prussia is still no problem! "

"Our grain reserves, ammunition reserves, war horses... The total amount of military supplies was larger than that of Prussia! However, because of the malfeasance of these bureaucratic classes, the allocation of resources has turned into a disaster! "

"He clearly has plenty of resources, but he can't use them. It's like a strong man punching cotton, it's so unbearable!"

"If we don't solve this problem, we can't start a war! We really cannot rashly start a war! "

Just as he was speaking, French Emperor suddenly stood up with a dark face and slapped the table, "Enough! Enough! "Enough …"

"Stop talking, stop talking! No one can question my decision, no one can! "
