"Assemble...the army is gathering towards Sedan...the Emperor of France is there...the moment of final victory has arrived!"
The French Ardennes province has become a sea of Prussian troops. The endless army is marching towards Sedan. Teams of cavalry are trampling and galloping on the roads and farmland, and the artillery is rolling forward under the pull of Thomas.
The two armies of Old Moltke and Steinmetz joined forces and began to outflank Sedan, and Prince Karl's army controlled the entire Marne River defense line.
It is not that there are no regiments from the south of France coming to support, but these local garrisons and newly recruited self-defense members are not opponents of the elite Prussian army at all.
In addition, Prince Karl had controlled all the bridges and ferries, and the French recruits who lacked the tools to cross the river could only stare at the defense line of the Marne River and feel helpless.
Under such a situation, Prince Karl even launched several beautiful counterattacks. The Prussian cavalry used these newly recruited soldiers as training targets, and won several small-scale battles quite beautifully.
There was no doubt about the victory. Xiao Letian and Bismarck, who were in Belgium, also officially started heading south to join the long-prepared battle of Sedan.
Under Xiao Letian's instruction, the people of Syria received very generous war compensation. The money was advanced by the Belgian government in advance, but the final reimbursement must come from the French.
Moreover, Xiao Letian also promised to build monuments and statues in Syuni after the war is completely over, and to establish a friendship city between a small Chinese city and Syuni.
Business between sister cities can even enjoy partial tax exemptions!
This was good news that fell from the sky, and Syuni, who was crying loudly, suddenly felt very happy.
Xiao Letian's troops began to move out, and Belgian troops kept joining in along the way. Leopold II had angrily declared war on France. For this reason, he organized an army of 30,000 people, which almost destroyed the Belgian standing army. More than one-third was allocated.
In order to appease Xiao Letian's anger, and even to please the stubborn Chinese head of state, Leopold II even ordered his troops to obey the command of the Chinese head of state in the Battle of Sedan!
In other words, Xiao Letian is now the supreme commander of the Huabi Allied Forces!
The army rolled forward, and the Belgian people on both sides of the road came to watch. When they saw the Chinese battle flags and the Belgian regular troops, everyone was excited!
"Revenge! Kill to Sedan!"
"Seize the executioner of Napoleon III!"
"Long live the King! Long live the Führer!"
Almost all the people from the Ardennes Plateau in Belgium gathered here. More than 100,000 people cheered and sent them off along the more than ten kilometers from Syny to the border.
Filled with hatred for the French, these Belgians chanted slogans with righteous indignation. Even many people who had relatives killed in Syny came to see off the troops in mourning clothes.
The black veil covers the face, the dress is solemn, and the cry is choked! The Belgian army instantly turned into a mourning army!
"The mourning soldiers will win! The mourning soldiers will win..." Wang Huaiyuan looked at the exciting scene in front of him with a sigh, and stretched out his hand to point into the distance.
"The head of state...the border is ahead...the home of old Phyllis, the wine farmer who first reported the news to us, is right there..."
"Oh? Go take a look!" Xiao Letian rode forward and walked across the small slope, and the grape fields on the border came into view.
The houses beside the road had been burned down by the defeated French army. The old Felice family was sitting helplessly in the yard. They looked at the prestigious army outside the door and had mixed feelings in their hearts.
The war was won, but my home was gone!
Just when they didn't know what to do with their future lives, a tall horse walked to their door, and a familiar oriental figure appeared in front of old Phyllis.
"Ah! I remember you...your wine tastes very good. I have bought it several times! It turns out that you were the first one to report the news!"
Seeing the head of state standing beside him, this ordinary vineyard owner was shaking with excitement, but he could no longer stand up. He fell off his old horse at the last moment of reporting the news.
Although he hid on the dark roadside and escaped the pursuit of French soldiers, a French war horse trampled his left femur in the chaos, and old Phyllis was disabled.
"Thank you, head of state, for liking my wine... Son, go to the wine cellar and get the last few bottles of cellared wine and give them to the head of state!"
"Thank you to the head of state for avenging us, and I also wish the head of state to win this damn war!"
Xiao Letian looked at the burned-down roof of the home behind Old Phyllis, and took the bottles of dusty wine. "The home is gone, but it can still be rebuilt. Fortunately, the family is still there, so there is hope!"
"Come here... reward me!"
Wang Junlan, who had been in charge of daily living, sent over the things he had prepared long ago. "In view of the old Felice family's first contribution in the bloody battle of Syni, the Chinese family specially awarded a one-star silver medal and a reward of 10,000 silver coins with dragon patterns. pieces..."
"From now on, the wine produced by Old Felice Winery will become one of the imported wines designated by the head of state... The head of state's signature can be printed on the wine label!"
ah! The whole family shouted excitedly, and old Phyllis would have jumped up if his leg hadn't been broken.
This was an unexpected reward. The medals and silver coins were beyond their expectations. They didn't expect that in the end, the wine from the family winery would be designated by the head of state for import.
In fact, our own winery is just a third-rate winery in Europe. Although the wine tastes good, its reputation is too small, especially in today's world, where the decision-making power of wine grade is in the hands of the gourmets in Paris.
How can the French give Belgian wineries a good reputation?
Now, once there is the endorsement of the head of state, the brand of Old Phyllis can be introduced to the Asian market. Not only the old Phyllis family will benefit, but the entire wine estate in the Syni region will also benefit. .
The family held the official Chinese authorization letter and burst into tears of excitement, but before they could say thank you, Xiao Letian had already turned around and left and jumped on the horse.
"Brothers! Sedan is right ahead...move forward!"
The old Felice family waved their arms desperately to the Führer, "Long live the Führer! The Führer will win!"
This was a heartfelt blessing from the whole family, and everyone's throats were hoarse. At this moment, a dark cloud suddenly covered the earth. When people looked up, they immediately exclaimed.
"It's that airship...the legendary Führer!"
"The Zeppelin is coming...it's like a castle in the sky!"
The huge airship flew forward almost close to the treetops. The psychological pressure it caused was endless. The morale of all the soldiers and civilians in the entire border area completely ignited this huge combat airship!
Note: There will be another update soon!
