Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 316 Northern Army
In the northernmost part of the German Empire, in the vast jungle, a huge army has been marching.

This is the German Northern Army, the guardian of the northern border of Germany, facing the northern countries and guarding the northern border of Germany.

Due to the large number of countries on the border of northern Germany, the situation is complicated, and there are also many countries that have long-standing grievances with Germany. In order to cope with such a complicated and changeable situation, the number of the Northern Army is the largest among the four major border guards, with a full 8 More than ten thousand people.And because of the constant wars and small battles all year round, the strength is far stronger than the other three frontier defense forces.It can even be compared with the main force of the Empire, and it is only slightly inferior to the First Army of the Empire guarding the capital of Berlin.

But such a illustrious and extremely important legion was not liked by the Kaiser. There was no other reason, but because there had always been discord between the Kaiser and the head of the Northern Army, and even when it was not necessary, the Kaiser would I don't want others to mention the name of the Northern Legion, just as if it doesn't exist.

Faust, the head of the Northern Legion, is an incomparably powerful Martial Saint-level expert, and one of the few famous generals in Germany. He is also famous on the mainland, and he is also a legendary figure well-known in Germany.It stands to reason that His Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm should not be able to rely more heavily on such a pillar of the country, but why did they have trouble?
There is of course a reason for this.

For one thing, the origin of the commander of the Faust Army is unusual.He was born in Frankfurt, Germany. He was intelligent and knowledgeable since he was a child. He has long been famous in the local area, but he is not good at martial arts.Later, because of being involved in the conflict between the church and the state, his family was in decline, and under severe blows, he actually joined the legendary evil and mysterious Devil's Society, determined to resist the Holy See, and became one of the "devils" Murphy. Stuart's disciple, followed him to practice magic skills, traveled around the mainland, and committed one appalling evil deed after another.

Although after many years of sinking, he then changed his ways, and with the help of the masters of the Holy See, he defeated his teacher Mephisto, burned him to death, returned to Germany, and fought with the army all the way. He made great achievements in battle, and finally sat in the position of army commander.

Secondly, the Commander of the Faust Army is the former second prince of the German Empire and now a close friend of Prince Heinrich of the Rhine.And the second prince Heinrich was the biggest enemy of the current Kaiser Wilhelm before he came to the throne.Even in terms of martial arts, Prince Heinrich is far stronger than William II.Although it was possible that the former emperor passed the throne to William II considering that Prince Heinrich was strong enough but his mind was not flexible enough, this grudge has been stuck in William II's heart like a thorn.

After all, if such a powerful Marshal who has personal strength and has mastered the military power colludes with Prince Heinrich, who is now idle in the fief, it will not be difficult to cause a chaos in Germany, and even if he does not deal with it properly, the throne It is also possible to change the owner.Although there were only ordinary correspondence between the two of them for so many years, and there was no transgression in the content, Kaiser Wilhelm II was still entangled and refused to let go of his defenses.

Of course, the head of the Faust Army understands this very well, so he stays in the Northland most of the time, rarely returns to Berlin to report on his duties, and rarely even asks for help or makes any requests to Berlin. Everyone just tacitly guards each other Keep it up until now.

But this time is different, this time is a national war!And along the way, the French army was in full swing, with successive victories, and Germany was defeated again and again. Even sending out warrior-level strongmen failed to save many battles.It can be said that Germany has reached the most dangerous time.His Majesty William, who had always been extremely arrogant and conceited, had no choice but to let go of his prejudices and personally wrote a letter to clarify the situation, hoping that the Northern Legion would send troops to attack the French mainland and force the French to withdraw their troops.

Of course, in order to let the commander of the Faust army do his best without reservation, this letter is not only signed by His Majesty the Emperor, from the former Prime Minister Bismarck to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Caprivi, and all the important ministers have signed the letter. I signed my name on it, and I don't know how many benefits I have promised.

Although I don't know the expression of the Faust Army Commander when he saw this letter, there is no doubt that the Northern Army immediately took action, preparing armor, collecting food and grass, arranging defense, and making plans. In just three days, all After the preparations were completed, the whole army began to march towards the mainland of France.

Germany and France border each other, and the northwest of Germany happens to meet the northeast of France, and there are several roads connecting each other, so it is not difficult to attack France.

The difficulty is how to fight and to what extent.

Now, among the central army of the Northern Legion, all the generals are discussing this issue while marching.

"What is there to consider? Now that France is attacking our capital, Berlin, we will also attack their capital, Paris."

"Yeah, now that the French army has been transferred out, the country is so empty that even if there are troops left behind, there won't be too many of them. This time, we have all the elite, and there are martial arts masters like the commander of the legion. It's easy to break, we go all the way to Paris."

"I think, this Napoleon is also known as the God of the French army, the most famous general in the world. Could it be that he would not have thought of something like our counterattack against France? Tell us, he won't leave any traps for us, right?"

"As long as we don't take risks step by step, don't be greedy for merit, and march safely, what are we afraid of traps? Now that the main force of France is on our southern front, how many people can be left in the country to set up traps?"

"That's right, the most elite French army is still the French Revolutionary Army. They are all veterans who followed Napoleon to establish the country. But in the past few years, they first fought against the British, then they were in civil wars, and they regained lost ground. I don't know how many people died along the way. After a few years of recuperation, I haven’t recovered. And I have studied it carefully. Now the French Revolutionary Army is basically fighting our army on the southern front. Even if there is a little left in the country, it must be more than 1 people, at most [-]. Damn, even if you add those new recruits, how can we be the elite opponents of our Northern Legion?"

"Hey, I don't think we should take it lightly. Be careful! We are not like those main armies. We are not born with this little family background. If it is gone, there will be nothing to add. Your Majesty's virtues have been known to you for so many years. .”

"Yeah, we should try our best to be careful. We would rather go slower than put ourselves in danger! Let the scouts work harder, they can't stop day and night! The range should also be expanded! All kinds of terrain must be explored in advance! This time we will be careful all the way, never take any risks, and fight them dignifiedly!" Finally, the head of the Faust army opened his mouth to set the tone for this expedition.
