Travelers are not omnipotent, let alone gods. They just have a clear understanding of the direction of history. When it comes to understanding human nature and grasping the current situation, those ancient politicians who are famous in history Each one of them is a monster-like existence.
Just like Xiao Letian and Bismarck, if Xiao Letian did not have a clear understanding of the direction of history, he would not have achieved such achievements in two years with his passion and sharp tongue.
But Bismarck was different. This old Duke, who had become a common duel in his youth and even participated in a coup, was definitely a hidden dragon in Zeng Guofan's words, a hidden dragon who led the rise of Prussia.
He had no golden finger to rely on. He could only rely on his own eyes to observe, his ears to listen, his mouth to tell, and then he used his wise brain to analyze. He just relied on his own passion to win three national destiny battles. It was a surprise to unify the loose countries into a modern Germany that made the world tremble.
Bismarck, who is in his fifties, is the golden age of a politician. In front of him, Xiao Letian is like a child who can see through his true identity at a glance.
Others can't feel Xiao Letian's weirdness, but he can. Let's not talk about the unique tactics of Xiao Letian's new army. Some of the suggestions Xiao Letian inadvertently put forward at the Volkeng Shipyard have already been exposed. His details.
"Building pure iron armor, how do you solve the problems of iron armor anti-corrosion and shellfish adhesion on the bottom deck? You actually gave an answer to a problem that our European shipbuilders have not yet solved? May I ask you, add capsaicin to the paint? Who taught you this method?"
"There is also the problem of rotating turrets. The mainstream of naval warfare now is to open gun doors on the left and right sides, so that the fleet can penetrate the enemy fleet's formation, and then fire on both sides at the same time... But you put all the artillery on the battleship On the central axis, use the rotating turret to carry out left and right attacks..."
"I really can't figure it out. Did you come up with this unconventional design idea? Or is it true that, as I have judged, there is a mysterious team behind you to support you?"
Bismarck pinched his beard subconsciously. "The most terrifying thing is that your seemingly fantastic design ideas were later praised by countless engineers at Volcan Shipyard! It seems that you There are really too many secrets in him that we haven’t discovered..."
Xiao Letian's back was soaked with sweat now. He was really dazzled by the series of victories. He seemed to have forgotten that with his current status, an unintentional word could make other countries' intelligence agencies busy. months.
"Haha, the prime minister's imagination is so rich. I didn't expect that the iron-blooded prime minister still has so much childlike interest in his heart... In fact, everything I said at the Volcan Shipyard was just some of my conjectures. Well, as far as I know, isn’t there a writer in Nantes, France, who is having the same bold fantasy as me?”
"Oh, dear Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable... I've heard of the writer you mentioned,? Yes, many young people like his fantasy novels, but I think fantasy is fantasy... "
"No, no, no, Prime Minister, your thinking is wrong..." to get rid of the predicament in front of him.
"Without fantasy, can human beings still be called human beings? What's the difference between them and pigs in captivity? They only think about three meals and money all day long, and then spend their time in ignorance?"
"It's a big mistake. It is because of fantasy that mankind has the source of progress. Many years ago, we didn't know what electricity was, let alone that we could use electric current to invent a telegraph machine that can transmit sound thousands of miles. Without fantasy , it is impossible for us humans to extract metals from ores to make sharp weapons and armor..."
"Look at our current muskets. The plate-armored cavalry in the Dark Middle Ages probably didn't expect that there would be muskets to end their dominance. Then Napoleon's red warriors who swept across Europe didn't expect that their defeated Prussia would actually The breech needle-pierced Mauser rifle was invented..."
"I can give countless examples like this, and I couldn't finish them in three days and three nights... Since the fantasies of our predecessors have made today's technology possible, then our current fantasies may not be the facts of the future?" I don't think it will take many. In ten years, his dream will come true..."
Xiao Letian said a little dryly. He opened the crystal bottle on the table and poured out two glasses of red wine. "Prime Minister, of course I have my own fantasies about future naval battles, and I am also willing to work for this unrealistic dream." I fantasize about investing a large amount of money. To be honest... I have prepared a shipbuilding fund of one million taels, and I hope that Volcan Shipyard can design and produce the iron-clad battleship I want..."
"This is a win-win situation. I got the battleship I wanted. Prussia can not only get the benefits of shipbuilding, but can even accumulate countless valuable experience. It is a business that is profitable and harmless. I don't think the Prime Minister will Will refuse..."
The eloquent Xiao Letian said that everyone in Bismarck nodded: "Yes, of course I can feel your sincerity. I think even God will not refuse this business. I can ask Vulcan Shipyard To exert my influence..."
Halfway through the words, Bismarck suddenly frowned and seemed to realize something, "Ouch? You are too cunning. Didn't the topic we just talked about give you two battalions of troops? Why did you get me to build a ship?" Hahaha, I didn’t expect that you could actually change the topic from my hands. You really impressed me..."
"Hahaha..." The two foxes, one old and one small, really laughed openly this time.
The subsequent negotiations went even smoother. Six hundred Prussian soldiers were the strength of two standard battalions, with a total of 60 squads. All squad leaders and deputy squad leaders were served by Chinese soldiers, which could absorb the 120 troops of the Zhongguan Regiment. .
There are more than 30 senior officers behind, who serve as company and platoon commanders and other senior officers. The two battalion commanders are Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun, while Luo Huo is responsible for leading a fifty-man Prussian cavalry guard as Xiao Letian's personal bodyguard.
"You don't have to worry about the recruits. I have chosen good recruits from the Hamburg recruit camp. They all have feelings for you and know your deeds of saving people and fighting against the French, so there will be no ulterior motives." Condition……"
"In addition, they are all new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. They are like blank sheets of paper and can easily accept new affairs. If I give you a group of veterans, I am afraid that changing their past habits will be a big and time-consuming trouble..."
At this point, Bismarck stared at Xiao Letian in silence for a moment before speaking, "You have to know that I have to withstand a lot of pressure to let you participate in this war. So far, neither Old Moltke nor Prince Karl has nodded... It is very likely that you are just observers of this battle. I don’t think the Chief of General Staff will give you any chance to contact the front line..."
"However, war is always full of surprises. Whether you can seize these unexpected opportunities depends on yourself..."
After hearing this, Xiao Letian understood what Prime Minister Bismarck was thinking. He really wanted to form an alliance with him. He even put his own importance above his political opponents, which showed that he had become an important factor in his governance. Help.
"Please rest assured, I am able to get to where I am today by seizing one opportunity after another. I believe that after this battle, the entire Europe will not question your decision again!"
Bismarck left, and the 600 new Prussian troops arrived. In the open space outside the garden villa, on the bank of the Elbe River, the 600 new troops officially accepted the reorganization from the East Asia Central Government Corps.
Bismarck is very thoughtful. Every soldier here is carefully selected from the Hamburg recruit training camp. They all know the glorious achievements of these Chinese. He bravely rescued orphans from a fire and remained calm despite tons of threats. Not long ago, Xiao Letian even gave the church 50,000 Mexican eagles to rebuild the orphanage.
It can be said that the whole of Hamburg owes these Chinese a huge favor. Not only that, this group of Chinese were ruthless enough. They dared to fight head-on against the French Army, which is known as the most powerful in the world, and disabled an infantry battalion and a cavalry battalion. In the face of such brilliant achievements, No one dares to be dissatisfied.
The entire open space was full of roars and running figures. This was the first time that European soldiers ran wildly under the Chinese baton.
"The first company, the third squad...immediately moved closer to me after hearing the slogan...My name is Jiang Lie, and from today on, I will be the squad leader of your third squad..."
"Steven...Daniel...Grant...all those whose names I read will gather with me immediately. I am the squad leader of the second company and the first squad. From today on, you must obey my orders..."
"Stand at attention! Look to the right... Remember my appearance. From today on, I will let you taste the cruel training of Eastern hell. I will make you regret being reincarnated into this world..."
"Look into my eyes! Tell me what are you laughing at? Are you laughing at my weird German accent? Are you laughing at me mixing English with German? Tell me... Lie down on the floor a hundred times now push-up……"
In the open space by the river, 600 Prussian troops and more than 150 New Army officers were already quarreling. Fortunately, Xiao Letian had been forcing these officers to learn English and German. Without these basic language skills, he wanted to reorganize these European troops. It is simply an impossible task for humans.
There were roars in Xiao Letian's ears. The 600 Prussian troops were quickly dispersed and then reorganized. Brand-new classes began to appear one after another, and then gathered into companies and platoons, and finally into two battalions.
This is a process of reorganization and organization, and organization has always been the most important command framework of the army. If Xiao Letian wants to command this army like an arm and a finger, he must use his own officer corps to form a large system, a Brand new organization.
Seeing the roars of his young officers, Xiao Letian was sincerely proud of their arrival. Although this trip to Europe suffered heavy casualties, it was also rewarding. The most precious thing is that these officers have strong self-confidence and wash away the European fear of Asians.
"No matter whether you are white, have blue eyes, or have a big nose, in front of our new army officers, you are just an ordinary person. This is the self-confidence that comes from fighting, this is the strong confidence that is thrown out with the corpses of the enemy, the rise of a nation It would be impossible without this spirit... Good brothers, I am proud of you!"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the first battalion has been reorganized, please give instructions...The second battalion has been completely rebuilt, please give me instructions..." An hour later, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun walked up to Xiao Letian, saluted and reported to Xiao Letian.
Looking at the horizontal and vertical military formation in front of him, looking like tofu cubes, and looking at the serious European faces, Xiao Letian smiled contemptuously, "The formation looks a bit elite, but I just don't know if I will have diarrhea on the battlefield... …”
At this point, Xiao Letian suddenly yelled, "Stop the arrogance in your European hearts. In my eyes, you are just a bunch of new recruits. If you want me to look up to you, you have to work hard for me!"
"Now, right now, all officers will lead you to conduct civil engineering training. On this riverbank, dig trenches, foxholes, and traffic trenches for me... If you want to be my soldier, you must first be a qualified soldier. The ground mouse!"
"Yes...Sir! The whole army is here. Disband as a squad and start civil engineering training immediately..."
Amid the shouts of Xiao Letian and the officers, the hellish life of this group of Prussian soldiers had begun.
