Support France and fight against Prussia!
Being in His Majesty's study, Ren Huabang and Liu Tongshu seemed a little nervous, but they were even more excited!
After graduating from the academy, they finally met His Majesty again. After graduating from the Gobubi Academy, they had a subconscious feeling in their hearts... Your Majesty is their father!
Looking at the nervous and excited young officer, Zhu Xianhai asked.
"Are you graduates of the Armed Forces Academy?"
"Your Majesty, I am the third batch of ministers, Army Captain Ren Huabang."
"Wei Chen is also in the third period, Army Artillery Captain Liu Tongshu."
After listening to the two people's answers, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"There are no outsiders here, you can just call me the principal. I say everyone who comes out of the Military Academy is my child!"
"Armed Forces Academy" is said to mean "Army", but it is actually a juvenile military academy. All the orphans who study there are immigrant orphans. The establishment of the Armed Academy not only cultivates outstanding students for military academies, but also provides life for ordinary middle schools. In addition to studying general education, students
In addition to the contents of the military, they also need to learn a large amount of military knowledge and skills. The outstanding ones are admitted to the military school - Nanhua Military Academy or the Naval Academy. A considerable number of people are also admitted to the vocational school. The current military academy takes up to nine years to
The development of the military has almost played a role in integrating industrial, commercial and medical talents into the academy. 60% of the grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers in Nanhua came from the military academy. There are also many professionals from all walks of life who came from the academy.
In Nanhua, the status of the Military Academy is transcendent. Not only did Zhu Xianhai personally serve as the principal, but when Nanhua was first established, Zhu Xianhai himself went to the academy at least twice a week. Every time he went, he always made many suggestions to the relevant personnel.
Therefore, the school did not dare to make any mistakes in school affairs. Even if he did not have time, Elizabeth and Charlotte would inspect it on his behalf every week.
This is why the children who come out of school will regard him as their father. Of course, he also regards these children as his own children.
"You are in the third phase. I remember that in 1964, on my way back from Beihe, I made a special trip to the school. I arrived just in time to have dinner with you. I even ate with you in the cafeteria. I was no different from the whole family. So,
Don't be so nervous."
Listening to the principal mentioning old things, Ren Huabang and Liu Tongshu almost shed tears. They were sitting in the back row at the time. Naturally, they remembered the scene when they had a meal together in the cafeteria.
But they never expected that His Majesty would actually remember all this. Excited, they hurriedly spoke.
"Even if we are shattered to pieces, we cannot repay the kindness of the principal and his wife in bringing him up."
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have never been complete. All we have to do is serve the country with loyalty and loyalty. Just remember the school motto!"
He motioned for them to sit down, and then Zhu Xianhai asked.
"It was you who proposed the idea of supporting France and resisting imperialism."
"Ah? Yes, yes,"
Ren Huabang and Liu Tongshu nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Xianhai glanced at the report on the table. This inspection report was the result of their inspection of the Army in France last year.
"You wrote it after you came back from France, so there must be a reason. Tell me why you think France will definitely fail!"
Faced with His Majesty's inquiry, Ren Huabang and Liu Tongshu naturally told everything they knew. Of course, they analyzed it more from a military point of view, such as military mobilization and the French army.
Veterans in their fifties are oily. Their long military career has left them with broken discipline, low morale, heavy drinking, and cynical attitude. An analysis of why French soldiers may be excellent shooters, but not excellent soldiers.
When they explained these issues from a military point of view, Zhu Xianhai did not interrupt them, but listened to their explanation attentively. When they mentioned that the French staff was filled with a group of seniority-based promotion paths and military
The arbitrariness of the chief will gradually wear away all the enthusiastic staff and turn the French army's staff into a nursing home. Zhu Xianhai smiled. One thing is for sure, his staff is full of enthusiasm.
There are many young officers in the staff department of Nanhua - the top ten graduates of the military academy must go to the staff department for two years of internship, of which one and a half years are spent as trainee staff officers in the staff department, and half of the year they go to other places or even abroad for staff travel.
.
This was the experience of Ren Huabang and Liu Tongshu. After they graduated with honors, although they did not enter the staff department, they got the opportunity to go abroad for staff travel.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. The so-called staff tour is to fully understand the military strength and war potential of those countries.
"Oh, Your Majesty, by the way, when we were in France, we found that although the relationship between France and Prussia had seriously deteriorated due to the Spanish throne issue, they were not prepared for a war with Prussia at all. They didn't even have a map of Prussia.
."
Even now when Liu Tongshu mentions this matter, he feels like he is telling a joke.
"This is almost unimaginable. Since we are neighboring countries, we must have corresponding military maps for security reasons."
This point is completely different between South China and France. The maps of the South China Army Staff are military maps of neighboring countries such as Peru and Brazil that were obtained through various channels.
Not only that, Nanhua will also send personnel to conduct business trips in neighboring countries, and then enrich Nanhua's military map on the travel map.
To a certain extent, Nanhua has been deliberately preparing for war with every neighboring country over the years.
Of course, this is a precautionary measure. No one knows when the war will break out, but what is certain is that the war will definitely break out tomorrow.
There is nothing wrong with preparing for tomorrow's war today.
"Yes, and there are weapons. Although the French Chasspault rifle is more advanced than the Dreiser needle gun, and the French still use backward front-loading bronze cannons, the Prussian army is equipped with Krupp steel breech
90mm gun. It has twice the rate of fire and three times the range of the French bronze gun. Moreover, the French gun does not have an instant fuze. It only has two time fuzes for normal bombs: 1500 meters and 2800 meters. In 1859
The French once relied on their artillery superiority to inflict heavy losses on the Austrians, but now they have no artillery superiority at all."
Ren Huabang took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice.
"There is neither a mobilization advantage, nor a soldier advantage, nor even a weapon advantage. The only advantage is the rifle. But, Your Majesty, this is the age of artillery. The Prussian steel cannon can tear apart everything the French have! I believe
, the French may be defeated in a month at most!”
Sunlight shone into the room through the window, and Ren Huabang's words echoed in the room. Zhu Xianhai was sitting in a very comfortable chair. With a smile on his face, he looked at the young officer who made this judgment.
The French were indeed defeated, and they were defeated faster than they imagined.
"So, you wrote this report and then suggested "aiding France and resisting Prussia"?"
"Yes, because a strong France is in South China's interest."
As soon as Ren Huabang finished speaking, Liu Tongshu immediately corrected him.
"Huabang, it should be said, is a powerful French ally but is restrained by Britain, which is in the interests of South China. Only when Britain and France restrain each other can South China be able to carry out any operations on the South American continent without interference."
"You are all right!"
Liu Tongshu's correction made Zhu Xianhai laugh.
"Indeed, only if Britain and France restrain each other can South China be able to carry out any operations on the South American continent without interference. A failed France is not in South China's interests. If the Second Empire wins this war, then the situation on the entire European continent will
Fundamental changes will occur. As an ally of the Second Empire, we may also receive extremely generous rewards. Now, the only problem is..."
Looking at them with a smile, Zhu Xianhai asked.
"What can we do to "aid France and resist Prussia", help France win this war, and successfully complete this difficult task. After all, we all know that France is doomed to fail."
When saying the word "after all", Zhu Xianhai emphasized his tone.
"It's a little difficult to make the winner lose, but it's almost an impossible task to make the destined loser win the war."
Zhu Xianhai continued,
"Moreover, we all know that it is impossible for us to send troops to France, at least not in large numbers. In this case, you tell me how we can successfully complete this difficult task."
