The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

The Russian-Austrian conflict, which lasted for three months, finally subsided.

However, this time the contradiction has not been resolved, but has only been temporarily covered up, and it will definitely detonate in the future.

"Looks like we're going to have to win over North American Eagle Sauce as soon as possible!"

After returning from Mosco, Bismarck felt physically and mentally exhausted.

This feeling of wandering on the tip of a knife made him very tired, and the situation was a little out of his control since the sun never set to stir up the relationship between De Yizhi and the hairy bear.

What has happened in the past few months has made the Deyi Zhi Empire very passive, almost led by the nose by the enemy.

It's not okay to go on like this, the sun doesn't set, and the-stirring stick has time to fan the flames, but they don't have so much energy to waste on these things.

Therefore, they must take the initiative to create some trouble for the people who don't set the sun, so that the people who don't set on the sun can't come to their trouble!

And the only country that has the ability to pose a threat to the people of the sun does not set is Eagle Sauce.

Andrews was too passive in his current situation, and the situation in Europe was getting worse and worse, and once the Entente was formed, a network of encirclement across the whole of Europe would be completely formed.

The situation will be even more difficult, so they will have to take the initiative to break the passive situation before that.

......

In order to prevent the Empire's intentions from being detected by the sunset, Bismarck did not personally visit North America.

Instead, he planned to send someone over to test the tone of the Eagle Sauce people, and if the Eagle Sauce people had the intention of forming an alliance, Bismarck could visit with the covenant in person.

But if the other side has no intention of forming an alliance, then Bismarck does not have to come to the door and bring humiliation on himself.

As a representative of the Empire, the status of this person visiting Eagle Sauce for the first time should not be too low, if it is too low, it will make Eagle Sauce feel that the Empire does not respect them, which may be a bad thing.

In addition, this person must have a sufficient understanding of the strategic intentions of Bismarck and the emperor, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out the will of both people.

After this screening, the most suitable candidate fell on Andrews's head.

As a disciple of Bismarck, and the most familiar with his international strategy, Andrews was well aware of the Empire's current international strategy.

And as a prince, he has a great possibility of becoming the prince of the empire, and his status is prominent enough to show the sincerity of the empire.

The only problem is that Andrews is too young.

In this case, if he was allowed to visit alone, everyone, including the emperor, was very worried about his personal safety.

"I have a great idea!"

Just when everyone was at a loss, old Moltke stood up and spoke.

"Chief of Staff, do you have any good ideas?".

The Emperor looked at Old Moltke and asked.

"Your Majesty, there have always been military exchanges between Eagle Sauce and the Empire, and they really want to learn the tactics of the Imperial Army in order to improve their own army strength. "

Moltke the Elder mentioned an incident which William I was also a little impressed.

Eagle sauce is a country made up of immigrants, a large part of whom are German immigrants from the German-Italian region.

In addition, there is no direct conflict of interest between the two countries, so the relationship between the two countries is very friendly, and military exchanges between them are also very frequent.

After the Franco-Prussian War, the Second Reich's land forces were unrivaled, and this was recognized by the whole world.

And Eagle Sauce's army strength is not strong, and many problems have been exposed during the Civil War.

Therefore, they have always wanted to learn their advanced operational concepts from the army powers in Europe in order to improve themselves.

Not long ago, they also sent an invitation to the Empire, hoping that the Empire would send some officers to North America to communicate with their West Point Military Academy, so that they could learn the current mainstream army tactics and tactics in Europe, so as to improve the strength of their army.

For such a friendly invitation, the imperial side will naturally not refuse.

However, I will not pay special attention to it, at most send a major or lieutenant colonel to come.

However, now that they are going to make contact with Eagle Sauce, can they raise their specifications a little, send a higher-ranking general over, and by the way, take Prince Andrews quietly with them, and escort him to North America without knowing it.

In this way, they will not arouse the vigilance of the sun and Gaul, and they will succeed in achieving their goals, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"That's a good idea!".

"I think it works!".

"So, who to send?".

Moltke the Elder's proposal was unanimously approved, but there was no agreement on which general to send.

"Chief of Staff Moltke, you brought up this matter, so who do you think should be more appropriate?"

The Emperor looked at Old Moltke and gave him this opportunity.

The people sent to North America this time are equivalent to connecting with Eagle Sauce.

In the future, as long as German-American relations remain friendly, then the importance of this person will increase significantly, and the future will be bright.

Therefore, the emperor gave such a recommendation to old Moltke, which was actually a reward for him.

Old Moltke naturally understood what the emperor meant, so he thought for a while and said:

"Then let my lieutenant accompany His Royal Highness Prince Andrews to North America!"

Old Moltke's lieutenant was none other than his nephew, Moltke the Younger.

Andrews is no stranger to Moltke Jr., after all, in later history, many people blame him for the military failures of the Second Empire.

It is believed that it was precisely because of his strategic mistakes that the failure of the Empire's strategy on the Western Front led to the Second Empire's desperate situation.

But to be fair, even if Moltke's Schlieffen plan hadn't failed, they might not have won the war.

The disadvantages of fighting on two fronts were too great, and the Gauls of World War I had extremely tenacious blood and tenacity, and their will to resist was not at all comparable to that of the French army during World War II.

Because of this, even if the German army successfully bypassed the main forces of the Allies in front of it and invaded Gaul, it may not have a chance to force Gaul to surrender.

The hatred of the Franco-Prussian War made every Gaul resentful, and they went to war with a strong belief in revenge.

Such a country will not be easily defeated.

Of course, even if Moltke Jr. is not solely responsible, Moltke's mediocre ability in carrying out the battle plan is still criticized.

He may be a suitable general, but he is not a suitable commander.

It was not an appropriate arrangement for him to be the Chief of the General Staff of the Empire, to take charge of the rudder of the great ship of the Imperial Army.

Of course, these are only the impressions that Andrews has of Moltke Jr. in his mind, and the exact ability of this person will not be determined until the actual contact.
