Only the senior leaders of the Pu army understood the difficulties at present. On the surface, the whole of Europe shocked everyone's eyes that looked fearful when they saw Prussia, but internal personnel knew that the Pu army was already on stilts and could not get up.

Since the Prussian military peak line arrived in Orleans and Paris was surrounded, the limit of Prussian military power has been found.

All domestic reserves have been launched. At present, the General Staff can only exploit the reserves of troops from various states again and again. The front-line combat troops alone have spread to France, and more than 700,000 people.

With the remaining auxiliary forces, Germany has mobilized 1.3 million people, which is an unimaginable number in the 19th century.

The total force of the four countries mobilized only 1.2 million troops in the Crimean War, while in a blink of an eye, the Franco-Prussian War alone mobilized 1.3 million people. This speed of change in the era made military experts globally stunned.

Such a huge force size has brought great pressure to the logistics, and it is unimaginable that all the previously reserved materials in Prussia have been exhausted.

That's right. The materials prepared for ten years of war had been swept away the warehouse half a month ago. At present, the arms materials produced by the German Arsenal were sent to the front line without entering the warehouse and leaving the factory.

The Chinese also provided a large amount of supplies for this war, including field first aid kits, individual rations, bayonets, engineer shovels and other supplies.

There is a cargo ship from the East every two or three days in Hamburg Port. These arms are disembarked and transported to France.

The German states were almost exhausted by Prussia, and governments across the country complained. If the halo of victory had not inspired the morale of the people, the wave of protest would have long been aroused by exploiting the financial resources of the people.

What's even more terrifying is that Prussia has no money anymore, and the last coin of the treasury has been squeezed out. The funds raised from the City of London and the Amsterdam stock market have long been exchanged for various imported arms.

At present, there is no country other than the Chinese who is willing to pay Prussia on credit, which makes it impossible for them to purchase arms from other European countries.

The money was exhausted and the supplies were exhausted. As the battle ended, the shell reserves in Paris and Orleans were actually insufficient.

Why did Orleans make Gan Bida get a bargain? It is closely related to Prince Carl's troops' serious lack of shells!

The front line is too long. Not only can the supplies be supplied, but more importantly, there is no such thing as it is. It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice!

When the news of Mes surrender came, the old Moltke almost fainted as he exhaled. Only the senior officials understood that the 300,000 troops of Messe City would have a great impact on the entire battle situation.

Metz won, and 300,000 people were invested in Prince Carl's team, so the entire French Southern Corps could be suppressed, and Paris would be much less pressure.

The root of all this comes from a clever plan of the head of state, which is to launch the royalist party!

Old Mao Qi lit his pipe and vomited two smoke rings. He looked at Bisme and suddenly said with respect, "I only really understand today why most of the people who changed history are civil servants!"

"It turns out that this world is always wisdom above force! A smart person's plan may allow thousands of soldiers to die less, and change the situation of the war!"

"A nation needs such a strategy, and the national destiny is still reversed by you!"

The old Moltke had a high status in Prussia, especially in the military. When he could hear the sincere praise of this comrade, he couldn't help but feel a little fluttered.
