Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

The signing of this treaty between Prussia, Italy and the Netherlands caused another wave of anti-Prussian frenzy across France. Everyone knows that Napoleon III was afraid of falling into the dangerous situation of multi-front war. Now Prussia has helped France solve two foreign aids. This is not the situation. excellent.

Bismarck deliberately lowered his voice in diplomacy with France. Bismarck, who was once very arrogant, took the initiative to show weakness, which made Napoleon III feel that Prussia only dared to clamor for France because of its many allies. Now that the allies are gone, Prussia has to be more timid.

Some people think that this is a Prussian conspiracy, and some people think that the conspiracy is nothing. It means that the Netherlands and Italy knew that they were going against France and I, so they immediately gave up and sold Prussia.

The people in the old revolutionary areas also began to demonstrate in support of the war. They wanted to work together to regain France's natural territory and completely solve this big trouble that may threaten France's national security.

But Bismarck would not easily give Napoleon III the opportunity to launch a war. After all, Prussia was not ready yet, and she had to buy time to prepare for the war.

The most depressing thing is probably the French army. They originally thought they could defeat the Netherlands, but the emperor suddenly said there was no need to fight the Netherlands and moved the French army south to fight Italy. But now it is learned that Italy will not participate in the war. Border tourism The group circled around and returned to Paris.

France was still very independent, but Prussia chose to avoid its sharp edges and cultivate its health. In order to raise military expenses, Auguste began to issue national debt again, and invested most of the money raised in military production. In order to expand the number of troops, she used part of Female soldiers have also been integrated into the army, which is rare. This was an idea given to her by Valentina. She said that this way more combatants could be put into the front line.

Because there is a big gap in physical fitness between women and men, they really can't play any role on the battlefield. The opponent will not be soft on you just because you are a woman, and they will definitely be beaten to death. .

But it doesn’t matter. Today’s Europe is no longer a simple confrontation between people. As long as you can pull the trigger and your physical fitness is passable, you can basically become a soldier. August’s attitude towards female soldiers The requirements are not high, as long as you are responsible for logistics and medical care. Anyone who has the strength has to carry a gun and fight against the French.

Prussia has truly practiced what it means to be a soldier. Not only men have to serve as soldiers, but also women. The Prussian army began preparations in June, and by August it had trained an additional [-] troops. It is expected that by next year In January, an army of one million people can be mobilized.

Now that the troops are available, the next step is weapons. Prussia’s military production speed is very terrifying. In half a year, the entire Prussian army can be equipped with the latest rifles and the best cannons. However, this will also burn money very quickly. If there are more If you spend more money, this speed can be further improved.

After August completed the arrangement of many things, he started fishing happily again. He left the matter to the Prime Minister. It is not a big problem to catch a fish occasionally. Anyway, the general direction has been laid out, and Tina will help him make up for it. She only had to wait for the day when the war broke out.

She was still a little excited when she thought of this. After fighting this battle, she had really made a great achievement for eternity. Her next policy was very simple. Find an opportunity to collude with Hungary and find a way to dissolve the Austro-Hungarian Empire. , the new German Empire will annex Austria and completely realize Greater Germany. Then August will not continue to expand. He already has enough territory, and then he only needs to suppress the United States.

In the future, even if one day Germany loses its hegemony and becomes a federal fat house, it will still be a rich and powerful federal fat house, but no matter what, I will definitely be able to occupy the middle position in the German Hall of Fame.

"Miss August?"

Valentina's voice brought her back to reality...

No, no, why would you just open the champagne before you succeed... I don't want to start a business and collapse halfway.

"Miss August? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about Germany's future..." August suddenly asked, "Why did you call me Miss again? Didn't you just call me August?"

"No, I think it might be better this way..."

"Valentina, are you hiding something from me? You were not like this before! You seem to be very concerned about the affairs of the General Staff recently. What happened?"

Valentina didn't dare to look into August's eyes, she turned her head and said, "It's okay, it's just that there may be a short period of time when I won't be with you...because of some other work... ....."

"Other job? What job? Is the salary I paid you not high enough?"

"Of course not, but I have something I want to do, so I have to leave Miss August for a while. I'm sorry..."

August: "So there is no need to add a lady. It doesn't matter. If you want to go, just go. Just pay attention to safety. When can you expect to come back?"

Valentina: "I'll be back as soon as possible, so please don't worry about me."

August: "When are you going to leave?"

Valentina: "In two days, I want to spend more time with Miss August..."

August touched her head and said, "No need to add Miss, really, you are still the same as before, always serious. We have been friends for a long time, haven't we?"

"Um......"

Valentina didn't tell August what she was going to do, but according to her past habits, she probably wouldn't do anything dangerous, and August was quite relieved about her.

So I didn't ask her what she wanted to do. Valentina's salary would definitely keep her busy for a while...

Valentina, who had always only listened to Auguste, rarely decided to do something special on her own, and this was the first time she had made the decision to leave Auguste. She knew that if Auguste knew about her Whatever you want to do, you won't let yourself do it.

Valentina takes advantage of August's trust in her and makes the most dangerous decision of her life.

Valentina is the person who knows August best. She followed August to do many dangerous things, including running to Berlin with nothing at the beginning, and finally fighting back with thousands of troops. In Königsberg, Valentina always follows August.

A few days later, Valentina packed her luggage, and August wanted to see her off. She smiled and said, "No, I'll be back soon!"

"Well, come back early..."

"August...Actually, I have always...liked you..."

Valentina whispered, August did not hear the words clearly, "What?"

"It's nothing, then I'm leaving."

"Well, be careful on the way and have a safe journey."
