C2686 Prussias two great men (1/2)
There was a whole regiment escorting Bismark and the rest of the riders, all of them were the most elite King's Guards of Prussia.
The blood and fire on the walls of the Salbrucon had not dried yet, but this small border city had already become an important base for the Prussian army's attack.
A few days ago, this place was still at the forefront of the war, but now, with a shake of its body, it had become a logistics base for the army to move forward.
When Bismark rode his horse up the pontoon bridge, the destroyed railway bridge was quickly being repaired by the Prussian engineers. The French never thought that blowing up this bridge was also part of a strategy to deceive them.
When the war began, the Prussian army had followed the original specifications of the railway bridge and stored each of the components inside the mud on the river bank.
When the bridge was blown up, the engineers were very careful. They did not destroy the foundation of the bridge, and the pillars on the river surface were completely undamaged. All they blew up were the steel structures of the bridge.
This kind of damage was very easy to repair. The engineers dug out the steel structures they had hidden in advance, then put the rivet screws together, and finally laid the rails and stones. Then the whole bridge would be able to open up again.
Mao Qi looked at the half repaired railway bridge and laughed, ”Looking at the speed, in at most three days, our train will enter France. As long as our logistics is not in chaos, we will win this battle!”
Bismark nodded his head, ”I have no doubt that the victory news of the battle of Walter and the Spicillin's plateau will inspire the entire Germany. Those dukes and kings who doubt us will wake up to their stupidity, they will definitely increase their efforts to support this war!”
”After all, this is their last chance to prove their loyalty to us Prussians! ”We can be sure that later on, the pressure on our logistics will be greatly reduced. Naturally, there will be people who provide us with money and supplies!”
”That's right, that's right!” Lao Maoqi stroked his beard, ”Not only that, the City of London will also be inspired by the news of our victory and undergo a huge change!”
”All of Prussia's government bonds and stocks will skyrocket. No one will be willing to sell them off anymore. We will risk our lives to snatch as much as we can, and our financial assets will double or even multiply by dozens of times!”
”Hahaha …” How sweet war is, and as long as we win, we can solve all our problems! ”
Bismark spurred his horse to the side and said loudly, ”And those Bankers s! With the Jews! They were all a group of greedy vampires … Just as Xiao Letian had said, those people only know how to add flowers to a flower and never provide coal in the midst of snow! ”
”When your business is on the rise, they'll come to your door and ask for a loan, as much as you want! But when your luck is bad and you fail everywhere, those people will definitely not help you in any way! ”
”Now that we have displayed our strength on the battlefield, those short-sighted people all misjudged this occupation. Just you wait, those shameless Bankers will take the initiative and run to hamburger or even Berlin to give us money!”
”What a refreshing thing it is to nourish our Prussia with French flesh!”
”Come on, let's extort this fat pig together!”
The royal guard cavalry escorted the two big shots of the empire, charging towards Spicillin's plateau like angry horses as though they were dragons.
After passing the floating bridges of Salbrucon and entering France, they found that they had all become places where the Prussian army roamed.
