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

Britain at that time followed a maritime policy, and as long as you did not challenge my maritime interests, then I would not interfere with your rise. Bismarck took advantage of this psychology of the British to paralyze them, allowing Britain to remain neutral throughout the rise of Prussia.

But France can't, he will never allow another continental power to appear, and he will not allow the Germans to challenge their position as the number one army in the world, so they want to provoke the southern states of Prussia to make an independent effort, and they will try their best to weaken the rise of Germany.

Since the contradiction cannot be resolved, it can only be solved by war, although the current Prussia does not have the strength to challenge France, but this does not delay Prussia in France to form a huge intelligence network, all of them are preparing for the future big war.

Xiao Letian's plan was very bold, he chose the border city of Besançon for the sole purpose of smuggling to Switzerland, and then diverting to Prussia, and now he is doing all to paralyze the French.

Paul initially disagreed with Xiao Letian's plan because it was too risky, but when he learned that Xiao Lotian was going to use his own officer corps to carry out this rescue mission, he not only thought that Xiao Lotian was taking a risk, 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 burned down the Yuanmingyuan, the royal garden of the Qing Dynasty, and at this time the French top brass very much to despise China. In their impressions Chinese they are all weak and cowardly, and a country that has even had its capital under siege does not dare to fight back, and this kind of nation is not worthy of respect......"

"I was going to use the arrogance of the French to accomplish my plan, and they would never have imagined that I would use the army to force a breakthrough from Besançon, and even if Pierre was a genius of intelligence, he would not have guessed my plan......"

"What's more, the attention of the French is on you Prussians, even if they want to guard against you, their intelligence network in Prussia will pay close attention to every move of the Prussian army, as long as you create a few military feints in the border area, you will definitely be able to attract their attention......"

"Besançon is already very close to Switzerland, dozens of kilometers away I believe that my warriors can escort me out, it is an iron army that I have trained single-handedly, and I have no doubt about their strength..."

Crazy, that's a madman... Paul really couldn't understand where Xiao Letian's strong self-confidence came from, didn't he know that this forced breakthrough was paramilitary? When the time comes, the French army will definitely clash with these Chinese, and a small war will begin.

No matter who wins or loses, the military conflict will turn into a diplomatic disaster, and France will naturally become hostile to China at that time.

Xiao Letian seemed to guess Paul's thoughts, he sneered and said, "It's not that I look down on the French, the current France is absolutely incapable of throwing military power into China again, Napoleon III is just dragging the British to take advantage of it......"

Xiao Lotian said that he was not wrong, the Crimean War, the Second Opium War, including the later expedition to Mexico, all of which France dragged Britain to do together, although the French people have a hard mouth, but they also know the current international situation, Britain occupies the most colonies in the world, has the world's first naval power, and many things can't be done without relying on the British.

"Paul, do you really think that the British will continue to fight against China for France? Don't be fools to the British, six years ago the British had already obtained the commercial benefits they wanted, and even the management of the Qing customs was entrusted to the Northern Irishman Hurd, who would risk knocking over their own rice bowls?"

"Without a strong navy, the army is just a landlubber, and it wants to cross half the world to go to war with China?

Xiao Letian did not say something to Paul, the main reason why the French did not dare to go to war was that the current Prussia was holding them back, and as long as the momentum of Prussia's rise was not contained, the core forces of France would not dare to leave Europe.

In addition, the Ryukyus and the United States have almost reached an alliance, and the United States will definitely not let France harm their interests in Asia, and then there will be diplomatic lawsuits to fight.

The most critical point is that Xiao Letian knows the war between France and the Qing Empire in Vietnam in his previous life, although the French at that time destroyed all the fleets of the Qing Nanyang, but they have not been able to bargain in the land war, and finally even dragged down a cabinet.

France is now a bit of a foreign powerhouse, but unfortunately the world has not found the clues, and still holds the paper tiger as a real tiger.

In the face of Xiao Letian's toughness, Paul could only nod his head and agree to cooperate, and it was after the two of them agreed that there was the negotiation in the water mill.

In the whole plan, Paul and his men are absolutely indispensable to pass on information, and without these eyes and ears Xiao Letian's plan is in the mirror, so he desperately fought with the French to save these Prussians.

In the face of Xiao Letian's toughness, Pierre could only choose to compromise, and the French soldiers let go of these Prussians and escorted them one by one angrily in the direction of Besançon, while Lieutenant Colonel Cheriff galloped in the direction of Paris with a group of cavalry, and he wanted to quickly bring the news to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Go ahead, it will take five days to delay the light road back and forth, and the bureaucrats in Paris will have to delay each other for another three or four days. Just give me ten days, enough time for the brothers in Hamburg to come and save me......"

Just as Xiao Letian was advancing towards Besançon, in the far north, the entire city of Hamburg, a famous city in Germany, had been completely boiled, and all the people saw the news of the Chinese soldiers bravely saving orphans from the newspapers, and everyone couldn't believe their eyes at first glance, until they repeatedly confirmed with the people around them before they dispelled their doubts.

With the covert encouragement of Prime Minister Bismarck, less than six hours after the rescue ended, all the newspapers in Hamburg published a special article written by Leo, and the enlarged photo actually occupied a full page.

It was a group of majestic Chinese soldiers, and the face of the head was covered in black ash, and only his eyes were shining. In his arms was the angelic little girl Mary, and behind them were the flames and a large ruin.

This is a photo that touched the whole of Germany, the sharp contrast between the fierce soldier and the soft German girl, and the strong visual conflict moved everyone.

Throughout human history, seeing righteousness and courage is always the most praiseworthy virtue of human beings, not to mention that the predecessor of the Kingdom of Prussia was the Teutonic Knights, and their blood itself flowed with the precepts of knights, and there was no one who was not moved by the rescue of the Chinese.

Newspapers, extras, and additional topics, Xiao Letian's new army dominated the front pages of all newspapers, and the whole city was completely boiling.

In the newspaper, Leo exclaimed: "None of the citizens of Hamburg who witnessed the rescue operation were moved, and in the midst of the raging fire, under the threat of tons of dangerous explosives, none of these Chinese flinched, and they showed the German nation the virtues of the ancient civilization of the East......

"Every one of us has heard of false reports against Chinese from Britain and France, and many of us have been affected by this false report, including me. In those vicious reports, Chinese were scandalized as a group of cowardly and cowardly inferior people who did not know how to make progress, and they were cowards who could not dare to take revenge at will......"

"Shame on me, I am deeply ashamed of my blindness, and today these brave young men have proved to Europe what a wonderful people they are, and that their high moral standards are only higher than we think... I want to apologize to these soldiers, I want to apologize to all Chinese..."

Leo raised his arms in the newspapers, and the entire class of Hamburg citizens responded in droves, and outside the Mission Hospital, where the Forces nouvelles were convalescent, countless Hamburg citizens began to gather to silently pray to the wounded and present them with flowers.

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

It was not only the citizens who took action, but also the Hamburg City Council, the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce, the Nobel Explosives Company...... Countless political and business circles have sent out representatives to express their condolences to these young men from the East, all kinds of gifts are placed in the wards, and all kinds of fine wine alone are enough to pull three carts.

This was the first battle fought by the 300 New Army for the reputation of the Chinese, and they really lived up to Xiao Letian's hard work, and this battle showed the dignity and pride of the Chinese, until finally even Prime Minister Bismarck sent a telegram of thanks.

"God bless you, soldiers from the East, who have earned the respect of the German nation by your deeds, and I am here to express my gratitude to you, as well as to that distant ancient civilization, for raising such excellent talents... Let me, on behalf of the Kingdom of Prussia, pay tribute to you..."

When the telegram was published in the newspapers, the people of Hamburg were jubilant, and some members of parliament even wanted to make the day a holiday in memory of these brave young men.

Of course, festivals are jokes, but this also proves how much these Chinese are loved. Xiao Hexin and his love were also infected by the citizens of Hamburg, and in the next three days, these injured young men recovered with amazing speed, which amazed countless excellent doctors.

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

"His Excellency Xiao Lotian, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Ryukyus, has been accused by the French in the small town of Besançon, passing on the order of Mr. Xiao, and dispatching your troops to the Swiss border quickly to find an opportunity to rescue the Prime Minister..."
