Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The old general felt dizzy. His blood pressure had risen to two hundred. If possible, he wanted to pull out a gun and kill this bastard.

He used to think that the Emperor was ruthless in suppressing these leftists, but now that it was his turn to stand on stage, these people started to mock him. Only then did he realize how disgusting this feeling was.

Napoleon III was also forced to do this. If he did not kill, he would not be able to solve the problem.

However, there were many contradictions that could not be adjusted. There were many people who could not communicate. There were also many obstacles that there was no way out!

Trochu forced himself to calm down, gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely fight, but as a professional soldier, I must take responsibility for the lives of the soldiers …"

"I will only give the order to attack when the probability of victory is the highest …" Otherwise, I would rather go behind my back and not attack blindly! "

Luo Shenfuer coldly snorted. Do whatever you want, but remember, even if the people can support you, they can still trample you off the stage! "Don't make a mistake..."

With that, Luo Shenfuer turned and left.

The left and right faction had completely broken off tonight. That night, at the night meeting of the Montmartre plateau's committee, they had made the decision to enlarge the army by another twelve battalions in merely three hours. Moreover, they did not even report this decision to General Trochu.

The entire city of Paris had a sleepless night. The left and right factions were fighting amongst each other openly while the royalist party had long escaped to Versailles City.

The citizens of the city celebrated the victory of the Orleans in a frenzy, while many other schemers were hiding in the corners, engaging in some unknown secret business.

No one knew that on this most dangerous night, Thiers had even disguised himself to travel out of the city secretly in Eugene's and Andrew's private carriage.

Inside the Steel plant outside the city, Thiers met with Sima Yun and General Luo Huo who were stationed at the north side of the city. The short half an hour meeting allowed Thiers to obtain a large amount of information.

When Thiers returned to the city, he was in a state of shock all the way. The speed at which the situation changed was so fast that he didn't dare imagine it, and when he saw the farce inside the city, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Smile, and make a fuss. There is only this last night of your happiness left …"

"I'm not going to sleep tonight. Take me to see Sutterloman and the other councilors... At this critical juncture, we must first preserve our lives and peacefully wait for a great change! "

There was also Bismark and Lao Maoqi who were sleepless too. The two big shots of the Prussian army listened to the ruckus that could faintly be heard from the Paris City, and then looked at the latest telegram on the table. The two of them laughed helplessly.

"Let these Parisians have their last night of happiness. It's their turn to cry tomorrow … Inform the military supply department to speed up the delivery of cannons, I think Trochu will break out of Orleans's encirclement very soon … "

"Once the news of the Mace City spreads, the French people's emotions would rise to an unimaginable level. At that time, even if Trochu does not fight, he would still have to fight."

Lao Maoqi quietly filled his pipe with tobacco, and only after a long time did he speak, "The leader is truly unfathomably deep, I really want to know how his brain grows. A plan to activate the royalist party can already reverse the situation …"

"Everyone thought that we, Prussia, would win for sure. But, how would they know that we are suffering …"

On the surface, it looked as if the entire Europe was shaken. Everyone looked at Prussia with fear, but only the people in the inner circle knew that Prussian army was already on top of a stilts and could not be stepped on.

Ever since the Prussian army had reached the Orleans and Paris had been surrounded, the limit of Prussia's military might had been found.

All of the reserve troops in the had already been mobilized. Currently, the General Staff could only squeeze out the reserves of the various States soldiers time and time again.

Adding in the rest of the support troops, the Germany had already mobilized 1.3 million people. In the nineteenth century, this was already an unimaginable number.

At that time, the fighting force of the four nations of the Crimean War only mobilized 1.2 million people, but in the blink of an eye, the war between France and Prussia mobilized 1.3 million people.

With such a large army size, the pressure placed on the logistics was unimaginable. Currently, all the reserves in Prussia had been depleted.

The supplies that they had prepared for the war had all been swept clean half a month ago. Right now, all the supplies that were produced by the military factories of Germany were sent to the frontlines without even needing to go into the warehouses.

The Chinese had also provided a large amount of supplies for the war, including first aid kits, Soldier rations s, bayonets, shovels, and more.

Every two or three days, there would be a cargo ship from the east, and these supplies would leave the ship and travel to France.

The Germany had been squeezed dry by Prussia, all the governments were complaining incessantly. If not for the glory of victory that boosted the morale of the people, the people's financial resources would have been squeezed dry and the protest wave would have started long ago.

What was even more frightening was that Prussia did not have any money left, the last coin in the treasury had been squeezed clean, and the funds raised from the City of London and the stock markets had already been exchanged for all kinds of imported arms.

At the moment, no country other than the Chinese was willing to pay Prussia on credit, which made it impossible for them to purchase arms from other European countries.

With all the money spent and supplies exhausted, there was not enough ammunition in Paris and the Orleans at this stage of the battle.

The reason why the Orleans had been taken advantage of by Gan Bida was closely related to the fact that the troops of the Prince Karl were severely lacking artillery shells!

The battle had dragged on for too long. Not only were supplies unable to supply, more importantly, there were simply no supplies left.

When the news of Mace's surrender came out, the fire in Lao Maoqi's heart almost burned out and she fainted. Only the upper echelons like himself knew just how big the impact that releasing the three hundred thousand army from Mace City's side would have on the entire battle situation.

Once the Mace City was taken down and 300,000 people joined Prince Karl's squad, the entire French Southern Regiment would be able to suppress them and the pressure on Paris would be reduced by a lot.

And the reason for all of this was because of the leader's clever plan, which was to activate the royalist party!

Lao Maoqi lit up his pipe and blew two smoke rings, then looked at Bismark with respect and said: "Today, I finally understand why most of the people who changed history were civil servants!"

"So it turns out that in this world, wisdom is always above martial arts! A clever man's plan might be able to save tens of thousands of lives of soldiers and change the critical situation! "

"A nation needs such a strategy. Everyone, you are the ones who should reverse the national destiny!"

Lao Maoqi had a very high status in Prussia, especially in the military. Bismark was a little flattered by this comrade's sincere praises.

He coughed and quickly changed the subject, "How is the printing of our flyers?" Tomorrow, I will break away from Qi Bolin and pass on this news! "
