C2740 Strategic modifications (1/2)
The French people's strategic mission this time was to search for the hamburger. They wanted the navy and army to cooperate and attack the hamburger, and by attacking this famous free city in Europe, this important commercial city would fight for the right to negotiate with the French Emperor.
The war fought by the army was really too cruel. The empire was already in a mess, if they did not end this damned war, the flames of revolution would probably burn the empire to ashes without the Prussian even needing to take action.
The negotiations had already become the only choice for the French Emperor. He had to end this damned war first and then dispatch troops to suppress those rebels who were ready to make a move.
But the Prussian was having a good time, how could they accept the negotiations so easily?
He had to make a breakthrough on the battlefield, he had to win a beautiful battle, and only then would he be able to calm the anger of the citizens of the country, and force Bismark to return to the negotiating table.
Now it seemed that the army would not be able to complete this task. The only way to break through would be with the navy!
For the sake of the Empire's future, the Queen had specially expanded the size of the Marines.
The carefully selected armed merchant ship s were all packed with army soldiers. At least one of them was filled with 800 soldiers!
There were a total of thirty-five armed merchant ship sailing on the vast ocean.
If such a large army wanted to land and fight, it would be very chaotic and complicated to move them aboard. Basically, this kind of mission would only give them one chance within the enemy's territory.
The war would not give them that much time to board the ship again, to reorganize their escorts, and to kill their way to their destination. Today, these marines had landed on Spic Island, so there was only one option, to fight all the way to hamburger by land!
Isn't this what it means to be full after eating a meal? They did not even have a single Prussian Navy battleship on the sea, so these twenty-eight thousand soldiers could easily reach the Elbe River. Then, with the cooperation of the battleships, they could cover each other and attack the hamburger.
This army actually wanted to take a detour and fight three or four Prussian army's defense line consecutively before charging towards the hamburger!
Is there a problem with Huo Fu's IQ? His brain must be playing tricks on him!
Just as Duke of Newcastle had a confused look on his face, the naval Captain next to him disdainfully said, ”These idiots from France, are they afraid that we will take advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack? to prevent us from going this far and actually changing the strategy... ”Idiot!”
Duke turned his head to look at Captain, and the young Captain hurriedly smiled and said, ”Traditional, this is traditional! During the battle of Trafalgar, the dreams of the French Great Navy were completely shattered. The hatred these French had for us in their hearts was indescribable! ”
”Even though they seem extremely courteous on the surface, they actually never actually trust us from the bottom of their hearts … Look carefully at Huo Fu's arrangement! ”
”From the very beginning, he had carried out more than twenty cruisers individually, and became the convoy of merchant ships. His main Iron-armored battleship, however, led the way at the very front!”
”Even the mission of bombarding the Eastern Frisian Islands was not allowed to be carried out by these cruisers. This means that he has always been worried that someone would take his back, worrying that someone would harm these 35 merchant ships!”
”Who is he on guard against? Prussia? Do you really think that those dilapidated Prussian warships can take on those thirty-five armed merchant ship? ”
”Heh heh, the only people he's on guard against are us! The one he is on guard against is my Great Britain's Royal Navy! ”
”In the end, he was afraid that we would have a secret military agreement with Prussia, so he was afraid that the Royal Navy would stab him in the back!”
