Now is not the time to start a fateful battle. France's real revenge will have to wait until World War I, and fate will give the two young people a chance to grow.
Just when the two troops were about to start fighting with all their might, the white flag on the central tower was raised again, and at this time Count Zeppelin could no longer remain silent.
"Führer! The white flag has been raised, the Emperor has surrendered, you must order the fight to stop..."
"What do you know? I'm doing this for your Prussians...the snipers keep firing!"
"No... absolutely not!" Qi Bolin walked up to Xiao Letian and stopped him with both hands. "You are the respected head of state of the East. You are a noble noble. It is not honorable to massacre surrendered enemies!"
"The war is over... I will send a signal to the rear now... Haha, there is no need for me to send a signal, someone in the Army has already seen the white flag!"
Xiao Letian was able to prevent the white flag from flying once, but could not stop it from flying the second time. After the white flag was raised this time, other attacking Prussian armies finally discovered it.
The signal flare immediately rose into the sky, and the exciting news quickly spread throughout the army, and soon cheers began to fill the battlefield.
"Damn it! What do you know...you are causing trouble for yourself, do you know?" Xiao Le stomped his feet furiously, but there were some words he couldn't explain clearly.
What is Xiao Letian's purpose? He has only one goal, which is to completely annihilate the 100,000 defenders of Sedan!
This goal seemed very bloody and cruel, and Xiao Letian knew it would be difficult to accomplish. In fact, his goal was all the officers in the 100,000-strong army!
Xiao Letian didn't want to let go of any officer above the company commander level, because these grassroots officers were the hope for France's future military renaissance.
Whether a country's military is strong or not is closely related to a strong officer corps, and the profession of officers has been passed down since ancient times.
In the 21st century, the military has become professional. Officers are selected in large numbers from civilians. Many outstanding students who have passed the college entrance examination can enter military academies to receive military education and become the middle-level command force of the army.
At that time, people did not think that there was any necessary connection between officers and nobles!
But things are different now. In the 19th century, the officer corps of major European countries still fought for the aristocracy!
Because there is no real compulsory education for all in the world at the moment. Even if Prussia is a pioneer, the level of compulsory education is very low.
Ordinary people can only receive very simple literacy education, and they are just a bunch of fools compared with the students of later generations who are studying for the college entrance examination!
Will it be a high number? Calculus, geometry, chemistry, physics, astronomy, geography, history... Do you know these subjects?
Won't? Even if you don’t do this, you still want to be an officer?
You can’t even read the contours of a military map, and you can’t even complete the most basic war game, so you still want to command the army?
If you want to be an officer in the artillery force, you must know calculus and geometry, right? You must be able to calculate the trajectory of the cannonball, right?
These are very profound knowledge. In the 21st century, these knowledge points must be taken in the college entrance examination. In the 19th century, these knowledge points were completely your ladder to a new class!
No matter whether your parents are horse feeders or sheep herders, if you have mastered the knowledge level of high school students in the 21st century, especially the science knowledge level before China's college entrance examination, a person like you can easily become a captain in the 19th century.
Then just fight in a few battles to gain some military merit, and you can become a major or lieutenant colonel. After a few more years of experience, you might be able to become a general.
In this way, your level will naturally improve!
It's a pity that Xiao Letian is the only traveler in this world. Everyone else lives according to the current average education level. That kind of high-quality education level for all people is just a dream.
The legacy left by Napoleon the Great was actually not only a great reputation, but more importantly, he left a large number of elite military aristocratic families to France!
Many of them followed Napoleon Bonaparte in their grandfather's generation, and then became aristocrats by accumulating military exploits. After that, their descendants no longer had to work like ordinary people.
The country will naturally support them, and their children will receive elite education from the time they go to school. While the children of civilian families are polishing their shoes, the children of these military nobles have already begun to receive training in advanced mathematics.
Studying military affairs has been a very energy-consuming subject since ancient times. It requires a person to spend a lifetime studying!
There is no time for him to do anything else. People who spend their whole life studying a science will always be more professional than those who become a monk halfway!
This is the legacy of Napoleon the Great, a professional military aristocracy, a high-tech group loyal to the Bonaparte family!
With these people, there will be the backbone of France's future strong army. Without these people, France will have to take countless detours in the future to re-train military professionals!
"Damn it, why can't the French emperor fight so hard? Why doesn't he insist on it any longer? This war can last for another twelve hours, and then a large number of French junior officers will die in battle!"
"The more these military nobles die, the better it will be for us. It would be best if France never recovers from this, so that their legions will never recover!"
"Let them completely turn into a third-rate military power! Only in this way will we, the Chinese people, not be afraid of his future revenge!"
Xiao Letian looked behind him in the direction of the Prussian camp and murmured in a low voice, "Bismarck, I have made my interests clear to you before the war. Now it's up to you to choose!"
At this moment, the French Emperor on the central tower has gone crazy, and his hair is as messy as a hen's nest. "Why? Why haven't you responded yet? Don't they accept my surrender?"
"He wants me dead? God, are they going to kill an emperor? Bismarck, do you dare challenge the kings of all Europe?"
"Nobles cannot die, you dare to kill the emperor? You are crazy, you are all crazy..."
Inside the Prussian Army Command Headquarters, Old Moltke comfortably lit a cigar for himself, "Okay, the war is finally over, the French Emperor has hoisted the white flag... The following tasks belong to you politicians!"
"What are you thinking? Aren't you ready to give an order? Don't let us soldiers come forward to negotiate..."
Bismarck's face was pale and his lips had lost all color. "My old friend... you said... what would the situation in Europe be like if the King of Pharaoh died in the war at Zaisetang?"
Cough cough cough... Old Moltke choked on the cigar smoke and coughed, "Death in battle? Why would he die if anyone can die? Bismarck, are you crazy? Do you want to kill the French Emperor?"
"Do you want to become the public enemy of Europe?"
