In the process of Prussia's rise, France was an unavoidable stumbling block. As the dominant European continent at that time and known as the world's largest power in the army, France's containment of Prussia was an open secret.

At that time, Britain followed the maritime policy. As long as you did not challenge my maritime interests, I would not interfere with your rise. Psme made use of the British's psychology to paralyze them, allowing Britain to remain neutral throughout the entire process of the rise of Prussia.

But France cannot do it. He will never allow another continental power to appear, nor will the Germans challenge their position as the world number one in the army. Therefore, they will tease the southern Prussian states and try their best to weaken the rise of Germany.

Since the contradiction cannot be resolved, it can only be resolved by war. Although Prussia is not yet capable of challenging France, this does not delay Prussia from establishing a huge intelligence network in France, and everything is preparing for future wars.

Xiao Lotte's plan was very bold. His only purpose of choosing Besançon, a border city, was to smuggle into Switzerland and then switch to Prussia. Everything he did now was paralyzing the French.

Paul initially disagreed with Xiao Letian's plan because it was too risky, but when he learned that Xiao Letian was going to use his officers' regiment to carry out this rescue mission, he not only thought that Xiao Letian was taking risks, but also felt that the Prime Minister was going crazy.

However, Xiao Letian's subsequent explanation dispelled his doubts.

"France is now the strongest army in Europe, especially six years ago when they just burned the Royal Garden of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, the French top leaders despise China very much. In their impression, the Chinese are weak and timid. A country that even the capital was captured did not dare to fight back. This kind of nation is not worthy of respect..."

"I just want to use the arrogance of the French to complete my plan. In their hearts, I would never have thought that I would use the army to force the breakout from Besanson. Even if Pierre was an intelligence genius, he would not guess my plan..."

"What's more, the French are all on you Prussians. Even if they have to be prepared, they will also be on you. They will pay close attention to the Prussian intelligence network. As long as you make a few military feints in the border area, they will definitely attract their attention..."

"Besanson is very close to Switzerland. I believe that my warriors can escort me to break through the siege for dozens of kilometers. That is the iron army I trained. I have no doubt about their strength!"

Madman, this is a madman! Paul really can't understand where Xiao Letian's strong self-confidence comes from. Don't he know that this forced breakthrough is quasi-military? At that time, the French team will definitely have conflicts with these Chinese people, and a small-scale war will begin.

No matter who loses and who wins, military conflicts will turn into diplomatic disasters, and France will naturally get into evil with China at that time. Wouldn't Xiao Letian be afraid of revenge from the French navy and army? Not to mention that little Ryukyu, what can the Qing Dynasty do if it is? Didn't it fail?

Xiao Letian seemed to have guessed Paul's thoughts. He sneered and said, "It's not that I look down on the French. France now has absolutely no ability to deploy military power to China again. Napoleon III just dragged the British to take advantage..."

Xiao Letian said that it was right. The Crimean War, the Second Opium War, and the later expedition to Mexico were all done by France, who dragged Britain together. Although the French were very tough, they also knew the current international situation. Britain occupied the world's largest colonies and had the world's number one naval power. Many things were not done without the British.

"Paul, do you really think the British will continue to fight against China for France? Don't be fools. Six years ago, Britain had already obtained the commercial benefits they wanted. Even the Qing customs management rights were entrusted to Heard, a Northern Irelander. People were full of oil. Who would risk overturning their jobs?"

"Without a powerful naval protection, the army is just a landslide, and they want to cross half of the earth to go to war with China? This is a dream!"

Xiao Letian did not tell Paul that the main reason why the French dared not go to war was that the current Prussia has dragged their pace. As long as the momentum of Prussia's rise is not curbed, France's core forces will not dare to leave Europe.

In addition, Ryukyu has almost reached an alliance with the United States, so the United States will never let France harm their interests in Asia. At that time, there will be diplomatic lawsuits that can be fought.

The most important point is that Xiao Letian knew the war between France and the Qing Empire in Vietnam in his previous life. Although the French destroyed all the fleets in the South China Sea of ​​the Qing Dynasty, they did not get any advantage in the land war, and finally even dragged down a cabinet.

France is now a bit powerful outside and has a hard time fighting on the inside, but unfortunately no one in the world has noticed any clues and still treats the paper tiger as a real tiger.

Faced with Xiao Letian's toughness, Paul could only nod and agreed to cooperate. It was after the two of them reached an agreement on their attitude that the negotiations in the Water Mill were found.

In the whole plan, Paul and his men were definitely inseparable from the information transmission. Without these eyes and ears, Xiao Letian's plan was the water moon in the mirror, so he fought against the French and wanted to save these Prussians.

Facing Xiao Letian's toughness, Pierre had to choose to compromise. The French soldiers let go of these Prussians and escorted them toward Besanson one by one, while Lieutenant Colonel Sharif led a team of cavalry to gallop towards Paris. He wanted to quickly bring this news to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Go, the time I spent on the road of light will take five days, and the bureaucrats in Paris are both arguing with each other and shirking each other, and they will have to wait for three or four days. As long as I have ten days, the brothers from Hamburg will come to save me calmly..."

Just as Xiao Letian was moving towards Besanson, the entire city of Hamburg, a famous German city, was completely ready in the north. All the people saw the news of the Chinese people rescuing orphans in the newspaper. Everyone could not believe their eyes at first sight. It was not until they repeatedly confirmed with the people around them that they had dispelled their doubts.

Facts have proved that Leo, a freelance writer, was qualified. His pen was strong enough and the photos he took were classic enough. With the secret encouragement of Prime Minister Pesme, the rescue was less than six hours after the end of the rescue. The newspapers in Hamburg City published special topics written by Leo, and the enlarged photos actually occupied a full page.

It was a group of majestic middle-aged men. The head of the man was covered with black and gray, and only his eyes were shining. In his arms was the little girl Mary, who was like an angel, and behind them were the flames soaring into the sky and a large piece of ruins.

This is a photo that touched the whole of Germany. The strong iron-blooded soldier formed a sharp contrast with the soft German girl, and the strong visual conflict moved everyone.

Looking at human history, bravery is always the most commendable virtue of mankind. What's more, the predecessor of the Kingdom of Prussia was the Teutonic Knights. Their bloodlines themselves were filled with knight's precepts, and none of them were unmoved by the Chinese's rescue actions.

With newspapers, plus additional special topics, Xiao Letian's new army occupied the front page headlines of all newspapers, and the whole city was completely in full bloom.

Leo shouted loudly in the newspaper, "Any Hamburg citizen who witnessed the rescue operation is moved. In the blazing sea of ​​fire and under the threat of tons of dangerous danger, none of these Chinese people retreated. They showed the virtues of the ancient civilized country of the East to the German nation with their practical actions..."

"Each of us has heard of false reports from Britain and France, and many of us have been affected by such false reports, including me. In those vicious reports, the Chinese are vilified into a group of cowardly, timid and ignorant inferior nations, and they are cowards who can be humiliated and dare not take revenge..."

"It's shameful, I feel deeply ashamed of my blindness. Today, these brave young people have proved to Europe with practical actions how excellent a nation they are. The noble moral code in their hearts will only be higher than we think! I want to apologize to these soldiers, and I want to apologize to all Chinese!"

Leo raised his arms in the newspaper, and the entire Hamburg citizen class responded. Outside the church hospital where Xinjun was recuperating, countless Hamburg citizens formed a stream of people and began to gather. They silently prayed to the injured and sent a flower.

In less than three hours, the exterior wall of the church hospital had become a sea of ​​flowers. Tens of thousands of flowers actually surrounded the entire hospital, and the strong fragrance even covered the smell of the potion.

Not only the citizens took action, but the Hamburg City Council, the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce, the Nobel Company... countless political and business groups have arranged representatives to express their condolences to these young men from the East. Various gifts filled the wards, not to mention other things, all kinds of fine wines have brought three big trucks.

This was the first battle that the Three Hundred New Army fought for the reputation of the Chinese. They did live up to Xiao Letian's efforts. This battle brought out the dignity and pride of the Chinese people. Until finally, even Prime Minister Besmai sent a message of thanks.

"God bless you, soldiers from the East, you have won the respect of the German nation with your practical actions. I am here to express my gratitude to you, and to the distant ancient civilization, thanking them for raising such outstanding talents! Please let me express my respect to you on behalf of the Kingdom of Prussia!"

When the telegram was published in the newspaper, the people of Hamburg were filled with joy, and some members of the parliament even wanted to mark this day as a festival to commemorate these brave young people.

Of course, festivals and other things are jokes, but this also indirectly proves how loved these Chinese people are. Xiao Hexin and their emotions were also infected by Hamburg citizens. In the next three days, these injured young men recovered in an astonishing speed, which surprised countless excellent doctors.

However, three days later, the new army's excitement was completely extinguished by a scoop of cold water, and a top-secret piece of information made all the soldiers furious.
