Prince Carl had a very good memory. When Luo Huo, panting and sweating profusely, with bullet wounds on his shoulders, walked up to him, he recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this the same person who followed Xiao Hexin and Xiao Hexin in the Hamburg recruit camp? The lieutenant officer who was with Sima Yun?
Karl still remembered that although it was Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun who kidnapped him, the guy named Luo Huo was still vivid in his mind as he held a pistol and stared at him behind him, about to pull the trigger.
This is really a terrifying Eastern soldier. If you can still feel a little bookishness from Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun, then all you can feel from Luo Huo is a recklessness.
Yes, although Luo Huo had studied in school when he was a child, his nature was that of a fierce general. When he was in the Fan family caravan, the boss originally wanted him to be an errand boy based on his ability to read. Give him a good promotion.
But this wild and untamed Luo Huo was attracted by a musket hunting in the deep mountains. When the flying pheasants were shot down by the musketeers, the bandit gene in Luo Huo's bones officially started to activate.
If a clerk is not qualified, he must become a guard and a musketeer. Luo Huo's decision made the shopkeeper and fellow villagers who promoted him regretful. In their eyes, he evolved from a junior boy to a big boy, and then evolved into the second shopkeeper, the second shopkeeper, and the second shopkeeper. Big shopkeeper, this is the path that an ambitious young man should choose.
For a time, Luo Huo became a negative example in everyone's mouth. However, Luo Huo is born with a stubborn spirit. In the words of the country people, once Lu Jin gets up, even nine oxen can't pull him back. If such a person's eyes are red, then he dares to stare. Kill someone without considering the consequences at all.
Prince Carl is also a high-ranking nobleman who has met countless people, and his eyes are very vicious. When he was kidnapped, he had already judged that Luo Huo, who was silent behind him, was the most threatening one. If it was true, If the talks break down, I'm afraid he will be the first to make a move.
Looking at Luo Huo, who looked tired and exhausted, Prince Carl nodded to the guard beside him, and then a cup of fragrant coffee was brought to Luo Huo.
"Drink some coffee first, you need him to cheer you up now!"
Luo Huo didn't say a word. He picked up the tin cup and poured half a cup of coffee into his stomach without fear of burning it. The bitter coffee juice made him choke and frown, "The bitter tea you Europeans drink is really unpleasant..." "
After half-complaining, Luo Huo suddenly realized his mission. He clicked the heels of the boots of the cavalrymen behind him and stood at attention to salute the prince.
"His Royal Highness, Luo Huo, commander of the Guards Cavalry Company of the Eastern Special Battalion, is reporting to you..."
"At ease! Allow your report..." Prince Carl actually returned a rare military salute. The guards around him were stunned. When had His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever returned a military salute to a small company commander? This Luo Huo is really the first one.
"Reporting to His Highness the Prince, our Elbe Corps and the main force of the First Army in the Sadowa area have now been assembled. At about eight o'clock in the morning, the Elbe Army took the lead in launching an attack, but the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered. The situation was not going well... Austrian Commander-in-Chief Bei Nedek has gathered more than 200,000 main troops in Sadova..."
"According to intelligence, the enemy not only has sufficient troops but also far more artillery than we do. Now our army has fallen into a bitter battle. Please send troops immediately..."
With a loud bang, Prince Carl slapped his hand on the table, and all the drawing tools placed on the map were raised half a foot high. "What? The decisive battle has already started? Why are you notifying me now? It has already been two months. It’s been many hours, why haven’t I received a military order from the general headquarters?”
Luo Huo faced the roaring prince and shouted, "Report to your highness, the enemy has sent a large number of infiltration troops and has destroyed our telegraph lines, and they have set up countless ambushes on the road. Our messenger cavalry and maintenance engineers They were all killed..."
Prince Karl was so angry that he almost overturned the table. Of course he knew that the telegraph line was out of order this morning. He also suspected that it was caused by enemy spies sabotaging it, but he never expected that Benedek would actually dare to Take this gamble.
"Chief of the Guard! Where are the engineers and cavalry we sent out this morning? Have any of them come back?" When he saw the Captain of the Guard shaking his head in fear, Prince Karl finally knew how serious the situation was.
"Convene all senior officers at the division level, convene all staff officers, and hold a military meeting immediately..." Following the order, countless guards rushed out of the command post, and the telegraph operators close to the military tent began to send messages intensively. The camp of the 120,000 troops was already covered with telegraph wires.
Luo Huo stared at the prince's order in stunned silence. He quietly exchanged glances with the brothers around him, and then asked tentatively, "Your Highness... Time is running out now, why don't you send troops? Where can there be a military discussion at this time?" Where’s the time?”
At this time, Prince Karl was drawing on the map with a red and blue pencil in his hand. He didn't even raise his head and just said lightly, "Your mission has been completed. Prussia thanks you for your sacrifice and dedication. Now please go down and rest. My The guards will entertain you..."
This nonchalant tone immediately angered Luo Huo. The Lu Jin of this peasant man came up again. His mind was now full of the shadows of the brothers of the cavalry company who died in the battle, including the old brothers who came all the way from China. There were also new friends made at the Hamburg boot camp.
Those brothers who sacrificed their lives in exchange for Luo Huo to break out of the encirclement, this was not the result they wanted.
Luo Huo gritted his molar teeth and asked sternly, "Your Highness, this is a war. We are not here to deliver a message just to drink a cup of coffee and enjoy your hospitality. What we want is a battle, and what we want is for the Second Army to send troops immediately... …”
"Do you know how serious the war situation in Sadua is now? Do you know that our Eastern Mixed Battalion in Shiqiao Highlands is setting up defenses and will be attacked by the enemy at any time? Do you know that in order to send this information, How many of us died..."
There was a loud bang, it was the prince hitting the table with his fist, and his beard was blowing with anger.
"Asshole, how dare you question me? How dare you speak to me in this tone..."
"Tone? What's wrong with my tone? Isn't there some English words added to the German text? If you don't understand, then find a translator to translate it for you..." Luo Huo was such a bastard that Lu Jin came up and started talking. The prince won't give him any face.
Karl was so angry that Luo was a little dizzy, and he didn't know what happened. Normally, he should have asked the guards to blast these people out, but maybe he had too much anger in his heart, and he just wanted to find someone to vent his anger in a fight. vent.
"What do you know? You backward people from the Middle Ages, do you know what modern warfare is?" Karl roared angrily.
"This is an overall operation of an army of 120,000 people. Any order from me will make these 120,000 busy people fall off their feet. Do you have this concept? Do you know how difficult it is to command such a large army?"
"The straight-line distance from here to Sadova is more than forty kilometers, and my legion is composed of infantry, cavalry, artillery...and other services. Don't I want to coordinate the march?"
"Send troops immediately? What you said is too simple. What is the speed of the cavalry? What is the speed of the infantry? Who will protect the slowest artillery? Who will take care of the logistics and supplies? Even the engineering corps needs to be precise when re-laying telegraph lines. plan of……"
"You don't understand anything about this. You only know that when your brain is hot and your blood is rushing, you will risk your life? Xiao Letian asked you to come to Prussia to study. What exactly did you learn? War is a science, the most precise science. There is no such thing here. Need to be emotional!”
Karl's spit flew to Luo Huo's forehead as he roared. To be honest, Karl only understood half of the German language spoken by Luo Huo. His German training during this period was just a crash course, and the new army had mastered a lot of it. Some of them are military terms and daily spoken language. When Prince Carl yelled like this today, they were all stunned.
Fortunately, there were many people like Luo Huo, and even Guessing finally understood what the prince meant. At this time, Luo Huo had already fallen into recklessness and could not extricate himself.
"Emotional? Yes, I am emotional. If a person has no emotions, is he still a human being? I only know that my master is in danger and is stationed on Shiqiao Highlands. Why did he put himself in the most dangerous place? Isn’t it to protect your lines of communication? To buy time for your Prussian victory?”
"If my master is as cold-blooded and calculating as you are, then why did he take personal risks? Why did he only bring two battalions of troops to protect your lifeline? Our cavalry company has more than a hundred people here to help you. You sent information, but in the end there were only a dozen of us left alive, are we also acting emotionally?"
"You are changing the concept! Your mission is to send intelligence. No matter how heavy the casualties are, you must complete the mission. Why should Xiao Letian be stationed at Shiqiao Heights? Did General Mao Qi give him the order? Tell me , does General Moltke have any military orders?"
Luo Huo was speechless after saying one sentence. Seeing Luo Huo defeat Prince Karl, he became a little angry. At this time, the army commander, division commander and senior staff officers under his command had already begun to enter the military tent one after another.
Luo Huo's face turned red and white now, his emotions began to fluctuate violently, and a suffocating breath was stuck in his chest that would not go up or come down.
"Your Highness, I think you have always heard the old saying that the foreign emperor will not accept his orders, right? We did not get the order to garrison on the high ground, but don't forget, my prime minister issued this order because time is tight and It was made after getting new information..."
"Do you hope that our special-purpose battalion will remain indifferent despite knowing that the enemy is about to attack? In your eyes, we Chinese are just a group of little guys standing on the river bank watching our friendly troops slowly drown without saving them. Man? Is this how ambitious you are as a dignified prince?"
Luo Huo suddenly yelled, "Don't you look down on people. I know you look down on us Chinese... I tell you, you will be a fool when you ascend the throne in the future. You will ruin Prussia's national destiny sooner or later." !”
With a bang, the pencil in Prince Karl's hand fell on the table, and there was a dead silence in the military tent. The senior officials of the Second Army were all dumbfounded. No one could have imagined that this lieutenant officer would be so bold, calling Karl by name. Foolish king?
"Come...come here! Drag them down and shoot...shoot them!"
