"Tell me your name?"

"Louis!"

"age?"

"25 years old!"

"Profession?"

"The technician of the leather factory!"

"Where did you serve in the military service? Give me the proof!"

"Report to Chief, Dachao Barracks! Artillery Surveyor, this is my proof of service!"

At an ordinary soldier station in Bavaria, the imperial officer was sitting behind the table, meticulously checking the identity of the conscript, and a doctor next to him was checking the soldier's body based on his experience.

The necessary questions are all pre-existing. The key is the proof of these citizens when they serve. The soldiers were given very rigorous comments and detailed marks of their professions.

When he heard that the leather worker named Louis was actually an artillery surveyor, the people around him showed envy, and the team like a dragon behind him suddenly started to whisper.

In this era, under the influence of compulsory education in Prussia, Germany's literacy rate has greatly increased, but it is rare for citizens who can master mathematics.

Being able to be a surveyor in the artillery shows that this person's mathematical skills have exceeded most soldiers. Such soldiers' military pay in the army is about 40% higher than that of ordinary army soldiers, and the probability of promotion is even greater!

The captain behind the table looked at the service certificate with relief, then turned his head and looked at the military doctor with a consultative look, and received a positive reply.

Since his health is not in place, such a person must let go. He picked up the seal and stamped it on it. "Welcome to Sergeant Louis, get your military uniform and rifle, and then go out to register for the Third Artillery Regiment of the Imperial Guards!"

"Yes! Sir!" The leather worker stood attentively and saluted. At this time, the soldiers on one side had prepared the military uniforms of the right size and put the rifle in his arms.

Holding the military uniform, Louis was very excited. When he put on his straight military uniform, the other people at the registration office of the military station all looked envious.

The German nation has always respected soldiers, and military uniforms have always been a symbol of honor. Moreover, because this is a national war that concerns the life and death of the nation, every German is proud to devote himself to it!

"Next!" As the captain shouted, another citizen in the team came up.

"Name?"

"George!"

"Age...oh, my God! You may not be able to participate in this war! Sorry..."

The captain smiled apologetically. When people looked carefully, they found that the conscript's hair was mottled and white, as if it was at least fifty years old.

"Why! Are you discriminating against me? I have served in the most glorious mountain division in the kingdom, and my highest rank has reached the second lieutenant! Why don't you want me?"

"Sorry, senior! Your age...is your age not appropriate..."

"No! I can still fight, I am not deaf and dumb, I am strong and marching for ten kilometers, and I can run down. I am willing to join this war and teach those arrogant Frenchmen a lesson!"

"Sorry, your age has exceeded the regulations. I can only regret to ask you to leave... Next, Next!"

The veteran still wanted to sign up, but a soldier standing guard had already politely invited him out. "Sir, we understand your mood, but the law is the law, and everyone must enforce it!"

He pulled and urged, coaxed and persuaded him for a long time. The excited veteran left the registration office. Then the soldier at the door shouted loudly, "Anyone who is over 45 years old cannot register. Please leave the registration office in advance!"

"My sirs can exert their remaining energy in the logistics department, but the law cannot be violated!"

After a low curse, hundreds of dejected veterans walked out of the long team!

The registration office is not just this one, but also three registration offices are accepting registrations from the public. Those citizens who saw the recruitment orders on the newspaper and the bulletin board all walked towards the nearest military station to register!

At this time, we can see the advantages of the national conscript system. At that time, all men in society, who had no physical disabilities, had received military training and had served in military service.

This time the empire was summoned, and almost overnight Germany had millions or even tens of millions of troops, blocking all the troops stations.

Just as those over-age veterans were given gifts, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the registration office of No. 3!

"Long live! Congratulations to you, the brave young man! You are the youngest warrior in Bavaria! You are even the youngest warrior in Germany!"

A young soldier in the smallest military uniform walked out in the crowd, and the people present whispered to each other. No one could believe that the soldier was only fifteen years old.

This is a child who lies about his age and then enters military training in the military camp. At the age of fourteen, he pretended to be sixteen and participated in military training and obtained a certificate of service.

As a result, he left the army for less than half a year and encountered this Franco-Prussian War that was rare in a century. The young soldier signed up for the army again without saying a word, but this time his attempt to conceal his age was discovered.

According to the military rules of German states, the minimum age for military service is 16 years old, and the child is still half a year away from passing the qualification, so the review officer asked him to go home.

But he never expected that this young soldier actually pulled out the dagger he carried with him and forced him to join the war with all his might!

"Germany is my motherland, and I am willing to sacrifice myself for it! And my aunt who loves me the most lives in Lorraine, France, where countless Germans are being oppressed by the French!"

"I want to rescue my aunt and those oppressed compatriots! If you don't let me join the army, then please take my body away!"

"Even if I die, my soul will attach to the battle flag and float with you in the sky of Lorraine!"

The child's generous confession moved everyone present. The officers collectively discussed and decided to report to their superiors. The supreme commander of the military station was a major. When he heard about this, he immediately made a decision.

"Let this young warrior join the army! Tell him that I will not only join him, but also send him to the Prussian Imperial Guards! Let the Prussians also see the courage of our Bavarian people!"

The youngest soldier in the French-Prussian War joined the army like this. Amid the cheers of countless Bavarian people, soldiers in military uniforms boarded the carriage with rifles and blushed on their faces and headed to the front line where the Prussian Legion was stationed.

How could the Prussian media give up such an opportunity to promote the publication? When all the newspapers began to publicize the deeds of the young young soldier of fifteen years old, the entire German country was in full bloom.

Those reserve soldiers who were hesitant were all red and red as if they were slapped in the face!

"God! Fifteen-year-old children can fight for their motherland. As an adult, aren't I as good as a child?"

"Damn stupid woman, don't stop me anymore! I'm going to join the war, I don't want to be the laughing stock of others!"

The German tanks finally started, and they started at full speed, no matter whether they were north or south, no matter whether they were old or young, everyone was fighting for this war!

Note: The fifteen-year-old soldier is a true historical record. It is true that a fifteen-year-old child in Bavaria signed up to participate in the war! It is not a fabrication!
