C2705 The market plummeted! (1/2)

Time to space, or time to space! This was the quintessence of warfare that all the ancients knew. Not only did the Chinese know this way, but the Europeans also understood the importance of strategy.

For example, since ancient times, Britain had always been a country outside of the mainstream of Europe. However, once they entered the The Age of Great Navigation, their geographical position immediately became the best!

On the other hand, the Germany was in a very poor location. In ancient times, he was the meeting point of Western and Eastern Europe.

When he reached the Ocean Age, all of his exits and openings were still threatened by the British Fleet, as if they were a lid that was tightly clamped on top of their heads.

The strategic position was indeed too difficult. His failure in the first world war was largely a result of him losing out to the geopolitical strategy!

But there was no other way. Who asked God to give them such a piece of land?

France, on the other hand, is much better off. The land is fertile, the agriculture rich, the climate warm and the population large.

Furthermore, France was directly bordering the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. The naval development conditions were much better than Germany's!

France was also protected by the Pyrenees and the Alps, and the south and east, with the exception of the flat land on the front and back, were easy to defend!

With this kind of strategic advantage, as long as they could use it, the Prussian would never have an advantage!

Since Gladstone was able to become the British Prime Minister, he must have a deep understanding of strategy. It was not difficult to judge the situation.

In his judgment, if... Gladstone was talking about the almost impossible if!

If McMahon was really a weak chicken, and he couldn't even defend the Foshan Mountain Pulse, then retreat to the Mace's base camp, then the French Emperor's only choice would be a strategic switch.

Gladstone did not want to say the word retreat, because he felt that such a failure could be borne in the face of a country as large as France.

In the past, Napoleon fought alone against the anti-France alliance in Europe, and France was as tough as an iron ingot wrapped with cow tendons. No one could bite or break it!

As long as Napoleon could guarantee that the army wouldn't collapse, and then slowly retreat, retreating to the outskirts of Paris to set up a ambush and fight against the Prussian, then all of Bismark's advantages would be for naught!

Once they reached Paris, the French would be like fishes in water. The railway network that led to the whole country would send countless soldiers and supplies to Paris, and the war would continue on for a long time.

Once the fanaticism of the entire France was aroused, most likely even more children would dare to shoot at the Prussian army!

This was no longer an army of a million. It was an army that was common to all. It was an army that was tens of millions!

Could Prussia win? I'm afraid it will be very difficult!

Gladstone sipped his whiskey. ”So!” The victory is probably a flash in the pan, if you still have Prussian assets... ”

”Then I advise you, since you have already earned twice as much, to secretly sell it off! A bag for safety, don't you think? ”

The Duke of Newcastle let out a long sigh. ”Doesn't that mean that Prussia won't have any chance of victory? France's victory over Prussia is not good news for us. ”
