Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

In this era, there were no restrictions on the rise or down, the market prices were completely random and this sudden calamity had completely stunned all of the Investor s.

In the end, they fell a full 48% from their peak. It was only at this time that Fang Guan started to give orders for the stocks to be sold one by one, and gradually, the prices of these financial products began to fluctuate.

Fang Guan was waiting. She knew that the front lines would not be peaceful for long, and it had already been peaceful for three days after the end of the battle. If the Prussian did not take action, the reinforcements from France would arrive.

"Karl, Karl, the Karl with the sore throat! "Don't let me down, or else I won't even bother to sing at your family's royal ball!"

At the same time, Prince Karl was also facing a difficult choice. His army had already reached the outskirts of the Strasbourg, and there were more and more reinforcements gathering.

Prince Karl now had over one hundred and twenty thousand troops. This was all thanks to the Prussia's developed railway transportation network, and he had to thank Xiao Letian as well.

It was precisely because of Xiao Letian's visit to the Bavaria before the war that he succeeded in suppressing Ludwig II's centrifugation. In the end, Prince Karl received the full support of the Bavaria.

The Bavaria army that was assigned to him numbered around 50,000 people. With such a strong army, he could easily swallow any enemy that blocked his way.

However, it was hard for Prince Karl to make a decision as well. Or directly attack the McMahon Army from the west, and then reunite with Bismark?

Looking at the map, Karl felt a sharp pain in his throat, it was the side effects of the small operation earlier. Thanks to Xiao Letian's reminder, he had checked his body earlier, and the result was that he really discovered an early tumor in his throat.

Karl never understood why Xiao Letian could tell that he had cancer just by looking at his eyes. Furthermore, the tumor was only the size of a rice grain.

This was an unsolved mystery, but he was clear that Xiao Letian had saved his life!

He had not slept for 24 hours, the battle reports from the front lines had agitated him so much that he could not sleep. McMahon's army had fought all the way, retreating all the way.

He sipped the bitter coffee one after another to refresh himself. The stabbing pain in his throat was becoming more and more frequent. The secretary at his side could not bear to watch any longer and secretly switched a cup of green Chinese tea with the prince.

Karl also did not look at it, and started to have a strange expression on his face. "What is this?"

"Your Highness, this is tea!"

"Tea?" How come there's no sugar or milk? "

"This is Qingcha. It is the green tea given to you by the Fiihrer. You have never tasted it before …" The Head of the Guards had said that your throat is not that good, so you have to drink more of this green tea and make it using the Chinese style of brewing! "

Upon hearing that it was Xiao Letian who had given it to him, Prince Karl was unable to say anything further. He was tasting the bitter and bitter tea soup, but he actually felt a lot more comfortable in his throat.

"Xiao Letian! Xiao Letian? "Yeah, I can ask him. This guy should have a unique insight …"

When the telegram was sent to the headquarters of Spicillin's plateau, Xiao Letian was immediately stunned, "Hmm? Karl asked me? Do I have to make this choice? "

"Hit the Strasbourg? Was there any point in fighting over that city? You're an idiot! "

Hearing Xiao Letian's curses, Wang Huaiyuan came over and asked: "What happened?" When he saw the telegram, the Director Wang finally understood!

"Don't scold me anymore, it would be hard for me to make a decision too!" The Strasbourg was even established by the Romans. It is the most important city in the northeastern part of the France! "

"Taking over this city is far more political than winning one or two night battles! This was a city! If we attack, the people behind us will have three days to celebrate! "

"This is too stimulating for the people, it is too damaging for the morale of the enemies!" How can Prince Karl not be tempted? "

Xiao Letian threw the telegram on the table. But he doesn't forget, we are the away enemy, and he is the home ground. Although he has one hundred and twenty thousand troops under his command, he cannot be separated! "

"Only by combining his strength can he crush the defense of the French, so he has to make a choice!"

"We want a quick battle! We cannot compete with France in time! Doesn't he know that Gan Bida is forming a militia in the south of France? "

"In a few months, Southern Regiment will probably have a few hundred thousand more people. Once they support us, we won't be able to fight anymore!"

Send me a telegram, directly to Karl!

In the telegram, Xiao Letian said righteously, "My dear old friend, please be clear, the longer the war delays, the worse it will be for us!"

"Attacking a city and destroying the enemy's life force, are these two options really that difficult?"

"The earth has no wings, it cannot fly! And the enemy can run with legs! "

"Only a large amount of the enemy's life force is the key to victory!"

"Attack with the main body of the enemy! Do not relax, do not relax while sticking to me! "

The harsh words of the telegram flew in front of Prince Karl. The prince already had a kind of trust in Xiao Letian, so he put the telegram down and finally made a decision.

"Have the vanguards change direction under the Strasbourg, and pounce on the Foshan Mountain Pulse!"

The Strasbourg's defenders looked at the distant black mass of Prussian army vanguards with shock. They watched as cannons were pushed out one after another!

"They are going to attack the city! The Prussian was about to attack the Strasbourg! Call the police! Send a telegram to Marshal McMahon … "

The garrison on the city wall was panicking like a fleeing rabbit!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Prussian's cannons opened fire crazily, the farm and workshop at the outskirts of the city were blown up into a mess, the air in front of the city was covered with smoke, the French army suffered heavy casualties!

"Prepare for battle!"

"The Prussian is here! It's going to be a war! "

When McMahon received the telegram, he could not help but to let out a sigh of relief, "Karl indeed chose the Strasbourg, and he really chose my bait!"

"Alright, let's let our fellows rest for a bit. After Karl and the others dry their last drop of blood at the city walls, we'll go out of the mountains and ambush them!"

Fate was playing a big joke on them, the guards of Strasbourg did not know that Prussian army's artillery was just a feint, when the cannons were being fired, the main forces of Prussian army were already moving out of camp and heading towards the west, directly entering the Foshan Mountain Pulse.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The cannons bombarded again and again, continuously firing for ten minutes before resting for a quarter of an hour. The entire city was blown up into a mess by the bombs.

After five hours of bombardment, the defending troops of the Strasbourg did not see the enemy infantry charge. They all looked at the Prussian army's position in confusion and muttered.

"Is the Prussian crazy? Are there so many cannonballs that you don't need money? He hadn't sent any infantry to charge for so long? Do they really want to finish the battle with artillery alone? "

"Look …" Look, the Prussian is moving! Their infantry moved! "Hurry up and prepare for the battle …"
