Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C2893 double-track railway

After the bloody battle, the soldiers could rest, but the time when the officials were most busy came. All the officers in the headquarters were working all night, counting data and allocating resources after the war.

At this time, the official system had also become busy. They needed to settle all the matters in the country and in the Occupied Territories together, and in the end, these matters would still need to be confirmed by Bismark's signature.

This should be a sleepless night, the whole pot of black coffee and a big box of cigar box in front of Bismark, these were the items he would use to stay up late at night.

After the secretary reported all of Xiao Letian's information to the Prime Minister, he did not leave. He gave the Prime Minister a cup of coffee and then stood behind him, quietly waiting for the Prime Minister to review the documents in front of him.

In front of Bismark was an application for construction project, it was an application from the Military Department for the expansion of the two main railway lines in Arthas and Rolin.

As we all know, Prussia's railway construction was way ahead of France. When the France was still filled with monorail railways, Prussia had already started to popularize the double track railways.

The biggest benefit of the two-track railway was that the train could go opposite to each other, which greatly increased the efficiency. If the one-track train was to go wrong, the train would have to stop temporarily to give way to the other train. This efficiency was simply a disaster.

Some people even verified that the war between France and China was actually a battle of efficiency between the two-way rail and the single-track rail. Because the transportation capacity of France was too weak, the Southern Regiment already held the advantage in terms of manpower, but they could not transport it up no matter what.

Not to mention those ammunition, rations and other supplies.

On the other hand, Prussia, through scientific and effective dispatching through the high speed of the two-track railway, had given them ten times the ability to deploy troops and goods in France.

An endless supply of cannons, food, medicine, not to mention a soldier's blankets, military boot s, cloaks, water bottles … Wait, it's a daily necessities.

With sufficient supplies, the Prussian army was able to break out in full force!

However, the more the war went on in France, the more obvious the burden of the Infrastructure became. "Tens of thousands of tons of supplies are stuck here, the French railways are simply unable to complete this transportation mission!"

"The only way now is to expand the railways in France and turn the monorail into a double track. Only then will we be able to send our goods to the front line in a steady stream!"

Bismark did not sign the document, he placed the documents behind him and said to the secretary: "Come, take a look, do you think I should agree?"

After reading the report, the secretary shook his head and smiled, "The report itself is fine, I also feel that the railway line should be expanded..." But this is French territory, after all. Are we going to work for them for nothing? "

"After the war, we left, and the railroad was left to the French? Or maybe I should just take it away and bring it back home... "That's unrealistic!"

Bismark nodded his head, "I also feel that it's unrealistic, but there are some people who had long ago suggested that I should do so … Before the war, Xiao Letian had recommended me to fight while moving forward on the railway line … "

"This Xiao Letian is really arrogant, he actually said that wherever the railway is built, France will give up their land in the future …"

"Impossible …" This was a fantasy story! "How is this possible …" The secretary called out and lowered her voice again.

"Lord, let the French cede the land? Isn't this forcing the entire French Nation to go crazy? They will definitely not agree to it. When that happens, this war will never end! "

"The overall strength of France is still greater than ours. If the war drags on for too long, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us. We might even vomit on the surface if we cannot preserve the victory!"

"Moreover, our two countries will fight till the very last drop of our blood. When the time comes, we can only let other countries see the joke. We'll take advantage of them!"

Bismark rubbed his numb eyes, "That's right, that's what I thought too, but the scene that Xiao Letian described was too alluring … He said that in the end, we would be able to cut off the two provinces of Arthas and Lorraine! "

"What a beautiful scene!"

Fantasy was always beautiful, Bismark and his secretary imagined how it would be beautiful to cut down two provinces in France, but in the end, they shook their heads and gave up on it.

Bismark did not sign the document, but right at this moment, telegraph room brought over a huge piece of good news.

"Report... Report Head... Just three hours ago, the French defenders of the Strasbourg finally surrendered! "

"Surrender!" Really... Great, long live! " The command post erupted in cheers. The last hidden danger on Prussian army's back was finally blocked.

The location of the Strasbourg was extremely important, it was a major transportation road in eastern France that was right next to the Switzerland.

On the west was the Foshan Mountain Pulse, on the east was the Rhine, and on the east was the Alps. It could be said that this was the only major road that could be used to travel between the Foshan Mountain Pulse and the Alps.

And the Strasbourg was guarding the northern exit of this important road!

The French Southern Regiment was already stuck in the line of Mann River with Prince Karl, so these Southern Legion were taking a detour to take a step inside the line of Strasbourg.

As long as the Prussian army was able to take over the Strasbourg, then the French Southern Legion would no longer be able to enter the two provinces of Arthas and Rolin.

Bismark looked at the report again, "To be honest, I really want to sign it … The Strasbourg has already surrendered, and now that Arthas and Rolin are under our complete control, they are as stable as gold! "

"The situation has changed. We are on the defensive side, the French on the offensive... Haha, I really want to completely occupy this place! "

At this time, Lao Maoqi who was always at the corner of the tent with his eyes closed suddenly spoke out, "Don't throw away the report yet, you can take a look at the form tomorrow before making any plans!"

"The nationalist spirit of the France is very scary … But don't forget, nobles and politicians are never nationalist! "

"Chief of Staff is right …" Following the voice, a figure appeared in the candlelight, Xiao Letian whose face was completely red suddenly walked in.

"France is good at producing traitors and spies, so this time, French Emperor will definitely step down, and there will be a vacuum period of power in the later stages of the game!"

"How do I fill this vacuum? Who's going to fill it? Who wins the party fight and who loses? Wait and see... Someone will take the initiative to pay you back! "

"I said it in advance! Tomorrow, I have to go with you to see the French Emperor … To be honest, this is my first time seeing him! "
