Holy shit! Xiao Letian was so angry that the king was speechless. He thought to himself, how shameless this is! At this moment, I can still cross my arms and look proud!
Did the mighty Kingdom of Bavaria send out 40,000 troops to deal with this war?
On the train, Prince Liutpod asked for 100,000 elites, but luckily, the king gave him a 40% discount and turned it into 40,000.
Who does the country listen to? Who is the real power in this country? Child, child, it’s not okay to play like this. You’re courting death for yourself by playing like this!
Xiao Letian's face was a little confused. If he had not received Princess Sissi's request, then he would not say a word at this moment. He would only give a few indirect reminders. Then he saw that this king was very dishonest. Then we can only go home.
Originally, the life and death of this young king had nothing to do with Xiao Letian. He wanted to commit suicide and no one had the responsibility to save him.
But think about it, this is Princess Sissi's cousin. If he is really plotted, Princess Sissi will probably be very sad for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Letian sighed secretly, and the expression on his face turned cold. He felt that he had to say some harsh words to hit the king.
"Dear Your Majesty, I have some questions, I hope you can answer them!"
"The Kingdom of Bavaria is the second largest kingdom in the German Federation after Prussia, with a total population of more than 6 million. The land is vast and the people are rich!"
"As far as I know, Bavaria's standing army at the moment is as many as 300,000! And you are only willing to invest 40,000 troops in this war. Don't you think this number is a bit small?"
"No, no, no... Head of State, why do you say this? Don't I know how many troops my own country has? Of course we have 300,000 troops, but this is adding all the reserves and police forces to the army. The numbers we got together!”
"It is impossible for us to devote all our troops to fight. We also need to set aside a large number of troops to defend the place. 40,000 is really our limit."
"What's more, we have to provide sufficient supplies for these 40,000 people. This does not cost Prussia a penny. Doesn't this represent my sincerity?"
Xiao Letian was so angry, thinking that you are really treating us like fools, do you, a half-grown child, want to show off in front of us?
"Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. During the Austro-Prussian War, you and Austria stood firmly together. At that time, you and Mr. Bismarck had a hostile relationship."
"At that time, you had already invested 40,000 troops in order to support Austria. That was 4 years ago, and after the war, Bavaria has not stopped preparing for war. Your recruit camp has been expanding its army. Is it possible that four years later? Can you only provide 40,000 troops?"
"This number really doesn't represent your sincerity. If this number is brought to Prussia, I'm afraid it will have some bad effects..."
Xiao Letian's reminder was very clear. He just had to tell the king that once the figure of 40,000 troops was reported, it might have side effects.
At that time, the Prussians will not feel grateful, but will feel that these 40,000 troops are a shameful number, and you are just looking down on them!
However, Xiao Letian never expected that the Austro-Prussian War would be a thorn in the heart of Ludwig II. Basically no one dared to touch this thorn, and whoever touched it would be in bad luck.
The young king's face turned slightly red. "I'm sorry, respected head of state! I don't quite understand what you mean. How can you in Asia understand the changes in the situation in Europe better than I do?"
"Does it mean that I, the King of Bavaria, don't know my own country as well as you?"
"Who told you that we have been expanding our army in the past four years? Who told you that I now have 300,000 elite troops? You are also a veteran on the battlefield. You should know the number of troops on paper and the actual ability The fighting armies are completely different."
"Prussia claims to have an army of 2 million, but how many people can it use to fight? In fact, the elite army is only four to five million."
"The people of Bavaria advocate peace and do not have as big an ambition as the Prussians to conquer the world, so we will not engage in a militaristic national policy!"
"So the 300,000 troops are just a number on paper, including reserves and police forces. If we really want to fight, I can only spend 40,000 and not even a single person will be left!"
"If Bismarck feels that the number of troops I provide is too small, then it is his problem! I have fulfilled my obligations to the offensive and defensive alliance... It seems that the covenant does not specify how many troops I must provide!"
"You think it's very little, but I think it's already a lot!"
Xiao Letian frowned and looked at the young king intently, "Your Majesty! It seems that you are extremely unsure of the future war. Have you already determined that Prussia will lose?"
“Because you are full of pessimism about this war, you don’t want to invest too many troops. You just want to go through this war and leave room for negotiation with the French, right? "
"I think you can give up this delusion as soon as possible, dear Your Majesty! Don't trust your own intuition, because your intuition is really not as accurate as you think!"
"During the Austro-Prussian War, you stood firmly on the Austrian side. You thought that the orthodox country of the Habsburg dynasty must be very powerful! There is no way Prussia can win!"
"What was the result? Austria was beaten to pieces by the Prussians, and you were forced to sue for peace with Prussia, and finally signed an offensive and defensive alliance treaty!"
"You have already forgotten this matter. Are you going to repeat the mistake you made four years ago now? Continue to make the wrong bet in future wars?"
"Please be careful with your words! Mr. Führer!" The glass heart of Ludwig II was already rattling. If Xiao Letian said a few more words, he would probably shatter into dregs on the ground.
"In that war two years ago, Prussia won with disgrace! It just took the lead in popularizing the breech-loading needle rifle with the help of advanced weapons!"
"The Austrians were caught off guard, which allowed them to win a lucky victory. In fact, Bismarck was very aware of their own strength. Otherwise, why would they not dare to pursue the victory and march to Vienna after the war?"
"Because they knew very well that they simply did not have the strength to completely defeat Austria. During that war, Austria had mobilized more than 150,000 reinforcements from the rear. If these 150,000 reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, The situation of the war will be reversed, and Prussia will not be able to take advantage at all!"
"I never believe in luck in war. Prussia can get away with it once, but can they get away with it twice? That's right! I'm just not optimistic about this war. I don't think they can win against France by luck. war!"
Xiao Letian sighed and shook his head, thinking that he was really a rookie! Rookie!
Let me force out the truth in my heart with just one or two sentences. How much harm will a person like this suffer in the future when he governs the country!
