C1852 Benjamin had already seen through everything … (1/2)

Deep in the night, in Prime Minister's residence's study, two silver candlesticks on the desk lit up with more than ten snow-white candles, boiling hot candle tears flowed down. The flickering candle light made the Prime Minister's eyes shine, while the corner of the room was dark orange.

On the table were various classified intelligence reports between Prussia and France. As British spies gathered information on the armaments of both sides, the mood for war was growing.

From the rude and reprimanding of the King of Prussia by the French, the originally somewhat ameliorated Prussian situation suddenly changed. Bismark became a man with iron mask after a while.

He shouted that he was preparing for the king's glory, signed conscription orders, and that the Krupp project had received orders for dozens of cannon, and that all the production lines had been mobilized.

The resident elite troops had already started distributing equipment for pre-war adaptive training, and the state reserve soldiers were beginning to gather in the barracks. The sound of bugles and the shouts of soldier training filled the air.

The fully integrated Prussian Legion began to move towards the south. Although they did not come into contact with the Prussian border, the smell of gunpowder was already very strong.

Across Prussia, the railway network began overloading. Coal, steel, wood... All sorts of war preparations began to be distributed, and one by one, the soldiers of each division began to use the railway network to carry out the national assembly.

In every city in Prussia, with the issuance of interest-free war government bonds, the citizens silently cast the last Finney in their piggy bank into the melting pot of war.

After many years of education, all the Prussian s understood one thing, only someone of iron and blood could save Germany, the happiness of the people must be built on the basis of the strong foundation of the country, only a strong country can charge out of the British prison to snatch meat from the whole world.

This was something every Prussian child understood. There was not the slightest bit of anti-war sentiment in the country, so everyone held their breath.

”Defeating the France, stealing the French overseas colonies... unify Germany, we want to snatch wealth from the entire world! ”

Benjamin, who was trapped in a fantasy, suddenly shivered. The illusory sound of the password in his mind caused him to feel extremely terrified. Bismark was indeed a difficult opponent to deal with, this point was unquestionable.

Pushing aside Prussian intelligence and looking at France, the situation was a little grim. The proud Frenchmen were not as efficient at preparing for war as Prussia was.

Prussia now had more than two hundred thousand legions, but the French side had apparently mobilized three hundred thousand troops, but the data from the spies showed that only half of those three hundred thousand men had actually been prepared for battle.

There was no mistake. War was not a game in which weapons were being played. Both sides were also not playing a game of mathematics, so what did it mean to be prepared for battle? What did it mean to have completed the mobilization? What was a formal gathering?

Take a look at Prussia's preparations. Their army was made up of veterans, who had been examined and distributed ammunition for three days of operations. The rations were distributed to everyone.

The transition from a garrison state to a combat readiness one required intense warm-up training, as well as dozens of consecutive pre-war maneuvers to boost the morale of the soldiers.

Even the military's top secret combat plans had been sent to the various units in the battalion!

Only through this kind of organization, through this series of processes, would the army be able to join the war in the next second. This was called true combat preparation.
