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

Moltke personally took his troops to merge with Blumenthal's troops, and stayed in Frankfurt for a while. He was afraid that these people would give him a cerebral thrombosis.

Moltke ordered the cavalry to march to Tours and directly surround all French fortifications, including Nancy, to encircle and suppress all French soldiers here.

This is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Blumenthal and Constantine cooperate, one on the left and the other on the right. Don't embarrass me. His Highness August is watching from behind. I will kill whoever is slow. Japan is still If there are a few officers missing, whoever can get them will go.

This frightened Blumenthal and Constantine, and they quickly went out to assemble the army and set off. Old Moltke was the leader of the army, and they wanted to be promoted to marshal. They didn't want to be sent to the frontier so early to stare at the Japanese savages.

At this time, Napoleon III began to concentrate his troops on Sedan again. The French troops in the Alsace Military Region had basically withdrawn. Most of the troops in the rear were also concentrated in Tours, Belfort and other fortresses, and decided to fight a war of attrition.

However, Napoleon III still wanted to take command and go out to attack the Prussian army. This deployment of troops also disrupted the defense of the Southern Military District. But you can't do it otherwise. The north side has been penetrated. Now We have to get back to defense quickly.

……

In the French military camp, Captain Henry received an urgent telegram, requiring him to immediately take his troops on a train to the Sedan Fortress. Napoleon III was now urgently recruiting troops. Although his troops were garrison troops, they only had a few thousand people. , but most of them are veterans. Now that the emperor needs them, they must leave immediately.

But there is another problem. What to do with the more than [-] seriously injured French soldiers? They had to take a train to Tours, which was a distance of more than a hundred kilometers. Before these seriously injured French soldiers arrived, they probably broke down halfway.

Henry was going to use a carriage to pull as much as he could. At this time, the French soldiers who had escaped from Avelay told Henry that the Prussian army was only thirty kilometers away from them. Having been routed, Strasbourg and Bribic were lost, and they had to move quickly. If the Prussian army forced a march, their vanguard would arrive in the afternoon.

Although Captain Henry made most of the French army feel at ease because he was very reliable and basically never made mistakes, wouldn't the opposite general be unreliable? Moltke personally raised his troops and heard that Prussian Prime Minister Bismarck had also arrived, which made the French army more uneasy.

At this time, there was no other choice but to abandon these seriously injured soldiers. Henry had already tried to send telegrams to Paris, as well as Verdun and Metz. As a result, these places were either blocked or occupied by the Prussian army. , his request for help did not receive any response, and the liaison officer sent out has not returned yet.

He didn't know what the decision-makers at the rear were thinking, but the order came down, and he immediately instructed the team to retreat in the direction of Tours and not stay here any longer.

Henry looked at the wounded soldiers. These were all French children, and he had to leave them in such a place. He had to do this for the sake of France.

Valentina was unaware of these things. She planned to escape with Juliet and the Prussian soldier tonight, but Pierre was already packing his things at this time.

Henry took all the troops and left directly without saying a word to Valentina and the others, leaving them where they were with the hundreds of French soldiers.

While Pierre and others were packing their things, Valentina took Juliet and hid in the ward. After the sound of horse hooves outside, when she went out again, there was no French soldier outside.

……

In order to prevent Blumenthal and Constantine from making another outrageous operation, Tina also participated in the attack on Nancy with an army of [-] people, but she only came to supervise Blumenthal's troops. She has to rush to Metz later, and she is here just to do some superficial work.

And just in time, her troops just arrived at the French camp where Valentina was located. This was the only way to Tours. Tina took the shortest route, while other troops went around from other places. .

When the soldiers rushed through the door, what they saw were a group of wounded French soldiers, a Prussian soldier, and two female soldiers?

When Tina walked in, her eyes met with Valentina's, "Valentina? Why are you here?"

"Is it Miss Tina?"

Tina never expected to meet Valentina in such a place. How could she be in the French army's camp? Wasn't he captured by the French army? Or did the French army not realize that she was a Prussian soldier?

Forget it, let's go back and ask again. It would be best if we found it anyway. But I don't know why, when I saw her, the first time I saw her was not joy, but a kind of unreasonable anger?

Tina walked forward indifferently and slapped her hard, "You bastard maid, what do you mean by leaving your master and running to join the army?"

"Miss Tina?"

Amid everyone's somewhat astonished gazes, Tina dragged Valentina out and threw her onto the horse's back.

"Wait...I haven't..."

"Is the playing house over? I see you are having a lot of fun here? Stop whining and go back with me!"

Tina shouted to the back, "Francsky, the rest is up to you, wait until I send this idiot back."

Franzsky said in confusion, "Wait a minute, Prime Minister, who is she?"

Under Franzsky's obstruction, Tina finally resisted her desire to rush back to Frankfurt. She listened carefully to what Valentina had heard in the past few days, and then she stared at Valentina as if she were an idiot. Tina.

"Are you an idiot? Although the result is good, haven't you considered what if the captain uses you to blackmail August?"

"No, August will abandon me without hesitation."

"You are quite self-aware. Why can you say such a thing seriously?"

Tina walked into the room filled with wounded soldiers, "This is really tragic. Doesn't France like romance the most? Doesn't their romance consist of leaving the wounded soldiers here and escaping on their own?"

Juliet, who was following Valentina, was confused at this time, "Lenna, why do you know Prime Minister Bismarck!"

Valentina: "Well, she wasn't actually the Prime Minister when I met her."

Tina walked up to a French soldier. The French soldier didn't even dare to look up at Tina, "Hey, are you French?"

"Are you going to beat us?" a soldier said tremblingly.

"How could it be? Congratulations to you. You have saved a life in this war. Your war is over. Just stay well."

Tina sent a telegram to the rear, asking the transport team to drag the wounded French soldiers back to the prison camp. Although Tina hated the French, she could not violate military discipline and had to give preferential treatment to the prisoners of war... Although Tina feels that this kind of military discipline can be done without.

However, thanks to the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners of war, many French recruits were ready to eat a luxurious Prussian meal before they fought, which just saved the Prussian army from fighting a lot of battles. And for some reason, many fortresses here did not have any defenders. Yes, it cleans up very quickly.

Tina guessed that Napoleon III must have transferred the garrison away again, otherwise it would take at least two or three days for the Prussian army to attack here.

After spending several hours cleaning the battlefield, Tina said to Valentina, "Okay, Valentina, come back with me. If you want to experience war, that's it. You are not suitable to be a soldier. From here, Moltke needs you even more, don’t let August worry about your safety in Prussia.”

"but……"

"But you are big. You have to go back with me today no matter what. If you don't, I will break your legs and drag you back with me. Don't give me any nonsense, you stupid maid."
