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

Prussia's army reform mainly started from multiple aspects such as organization, equipment, generals, etc. General Ron led the overall situation. This expert who has taught at the military academy for many years has his own understanding in the military field.

He believes that the emergence of breech-loading guns will have a great impact on the battle situation. The tactic of firing in a row may no longer be suitable for such breech-loading guns that can quickly load bullets in a short period of time.

Of course, Mauser and other military industry giants are still thinking about how to create more powerful guns, although by this time their imaginations have already run wild, and the weapons they manufacture are even gradually becoming more and more weird.

It's not even a gun, it's like a toy sold to children as advertised in special photos, but this thing is much more dangerous than a child's toy. In just one day, it can fill Berlin's scrap recycling bins with broken gun barrels.

But no matter what, the equipment of the Prussian army is definitely at the forefront of the times. The number of troops in Europe is a place where ghosts and monsters are evil. Shortcomings.

Ron has recorded all the military conflicts that have occurred in recent years, including the American War of Independence and the Italian Unification War. He wants to analyze where each country has the advantage and where the Prussian army can fight. progress.

The first point he concluded was to establish strict military discipline. Of course, this does not mean that the Prussian army did not have military discipline, it just did not pay enough attention to it.

Generally, the leading generals will indulge their men after winning a battle and let them rape the women of the people, burn, kill and loot.

The officers don't think it's anything, because they do it too, and it's not just the Prussian army that does this kind of thing. At this time, which country in the world is telling you about military discipline? There are military prostitutes, but military discipline is Hard to say.

Anyway, the British once said that there is no such thing as morality, but there is no such thing as teammates.

This has been the case in Prussia for a long time. When you say you want reform and discipline, you are not just talking about it. First, you must be a strong and stable region, and the government must have sufficient control over the military. force.

Coincidentally, Prussia is not strong enough now, and the government's control over the army is also very limited. August has no way to solve this problem. She also has a headache with such an uncontrollable army.

The second point of tactical thinking is still in the backward and desperate attack. Pétain has a saying that victory belongs to the side that still has people alive, so it is unwise to launch an attack rashly.

Are there any more effective tactics?

Of course, the plan given by Ron is to maximize the advantages brought by the new weapons. Since the Prussian army's firepower can be stronger when the numbers of both sides are about the same, then they just need to wait for the other side to come to their door.

Yes, the plan given by Ron was to build fortifications, use Prussia's most advanced cannons and rifles to fight positional battles with the enemy, dig trenches, let the soldiers stay in the trenches to save their lives, and then use cannons to conquer the enemy's positions.

Very good and very thoughtful, Pétain said he liked it very much.

There was one thing, August didn't like this tactic. She asked Ron to improve it. Don't worry about your negative height wall. It's useless. Instead, think about how to attack to capture the enemy's position.

Although Ron doesn't quite agree with August's point of view, since it is her order, it must be done. Anyway, I am still thinking about it now. It is okay to take the reform slowly. Anyway, August doesn't really want to fight recently. I guess so.

August didn't have much work to do recently, and all the troubles were passed on to Tina and other cronies. She had some free time again, so she changed into plain clothes and prepared to go to the private sector to see the situation.

I have carried out so many reforms, but how much will be fed back to the people?

"Miss August, do you want to inspect the public sentiment again?" Valentina was choosing suitable clothes for August in the wardrobe. Every once in a while, August would find a reason to go to Prussia. various regions.

It was euphemistically called an inspection, but it was actually just for fun. It just legitimized the behavior of fishing at work. Valentina didn't feel anything about it, and it was quite satisfying to find a reason to take a vacation.

"Yes, please find me a suitable set of clothes. I want to hide myself this time. The previous inspections were too public and the people didn't tell me the truth, so I can't launch new clothes now." policy.”

August said helplessly. Valentina took a set of relatively simple clothes for August. August didn't like those big rococo skirts. She liked light and simple clothes. Act like this. It's easier to get up.

In order not to attract attention, August put on a black dress and covered his face with a hat. After preparing all this, August and Valentina set off.

The first thing they visited was the central area of ​​Berlin, which is still under construction and covered with a layer of cloth. It looks very grand and may be bigger than Buckingham Palace in terms of scale. Anyway, Augustus The request made by Te was very tricky. If it could be built, it would be almost a miracle of nineteenth-century architecture.

August walked down the street, covering her face with her hat without attracting much attention. She came to the window sill of a newsstand and asked.

"Hello, can I have a newspaper?"

"Of course, Miss...are you from a noble family?" the newspaper seller asked.

"Of course not, I'm just a German."

August whispered, "What do you think of the recent developments in Prussia?"

"Prussia? I don't know much about other places, but if you talk about Berlin, I think the period during which Her Royal Highness the Regent August was in power should be the happiest moment. Her policies allowed many people to have jobs and Bread, my son graduated from the Higher Technical School in Königsberg and now works in a steel factory. He can earn [-] to [-] marks a month. This was something that was unimaginable before..."

"Really? So what do you think her shortcomings are? Or is there anything Prussia can improve on?"

The owner of the newsstand scratched his head. He didn't know how to answer this question. "If I insist on saying it, she is a bit too young. This may be the only problem. There is also the fact that His Highness Auguste does not know enough about the primary industry." Shang Xin, she has focused the country's development too much on industry, and now the price of food on the market is getting more and more expensive. It would be great if His Highness August could punish those guys."

"Really, thank you very much." August bought a newspaper, which mostly contained news and gossip, nothing interesting.

Auguste went to ask people from all walks of life. She saw the lives of the people at the bottom, and she kept everything in mind.

What is the situation in Prussia now? Because the gold standard was abolished, market fluctuations began to increase. The operations of the government's economic departments were also somewhat confusing, and their control of the market economy was not in place.

Manufacturing, processing and other industries should have grown along with the increase in mineral production, but now they are still tepid.

August originally thought it was the economic crisis, but it didn't seem to be the case. It had been so long since the economic crisis ended, and the manufacturing industry had not improved. Moreover, the newspapers were full of palace gossip and almost no art-related news.

Prussia is still lacking in the field of spiritual creation. In short, it is not a big problem to make a living, but it is a bit difficult to go further.
