C2567 Soldiers at the borders of the Bavaria (1/2)
Although Prime Minister Bismark said that he had unparalleled power in Prussia, he was, after all, the head of the civil service.
However, due to his valiant personality and his outstanding strategic skills, he obtained the trust of the entire Prussian. In the end, he actually took over the military power of the empire!
The order of the Prime Minister was only a formality in the Ministry of War, no one would dare to ignore such an overbearing action, even the King would not refute Bismark's order to transfer troops!
Under the orders of the Prime Minister, the two Heavy Infantry Regiment, with over twenty thousand elite Prussian Kingdom soldiers, quickly set off for the south, boarding a train from Berlin!
The army temporarily commandeered the management of the train station, all the civilian trains were stopped and the military train rolled forward on the railway line one after another!
A flood of heavily armed soldiers had crossed the streets of Berlin. They could have circled the outskirts of the city and marched at night without disturbing the people.
However, Bismark's goal was to advance in a high-profile manner. He wanted to show the world the military power of Prussia, and he wanted to use the most serious warning to make the young king of the Bavaria behave!
In order to comply with the Prime Minister's strategy, these armies had deliberately taken a detour to advance in a military parade from the main streets of Berlin, showing off the powerful lineup of the Prussian Army to the entire world!
”My God! Look, our army is on its way! It's the royal guard, the royal guard of the king! ”
”Two whole Regiments, over 20,000 of them are heading south. Have you heard of them? This time, my destination is the Bavaria! ”
”Is the war about to begin? Is the war against France that we are expecting about to begin? ”Brave lads, God bless you!”
Berlin was filled with the hubbub of more than twenty thousand guards. Everyone was restless. The streets were filled with people who had spontaneously crowded together to send off their blessings!
The twenty thousand army did not feel like much, but the Prussian army already had the rudiments of a modern army, and its reliance on logistics was growing!
The two Regiments alone had more than 6000 horses. Their cannons were equipped with 380 cannons, not to mention the countless ammunition and food horse material!
At this point in time, it was clear how powerful the Prussian railway transportation system was. At this point in time, the Prussian Kingdom had the largest total railway mileage in Europe, and also had the largest number of locomotives. With the addition of the Prussian's strict management style, the entire army could now move in an orderly fashion.
The train sped southward, one by one. The steam clouds above Berlin formed a dense cloud of steam. The power of industry was fully displayed at this moment!
From Berlin, twenty thousand troops marched southwest, past Halley and Leipzig, and finally reached the old city of Weimar and Fort Walter, Germany's most famous Tulingen Mountains, the border between Prussia and the Kingdom of Bavaria.
The 150 thousand strong army had already received Bismark's orders, and all the soldiers were already prepared to set off.
”After receiving the order, the Third Division Group of the First Army will immediately set off and enter the Tulingen Mountain Range before 9.30 …”
