C2860 Struggle for Peace (2/2)
”Before that, we need to fight a bloody battle with the Prussian and get our morale out. We need to let Bismark and the others know that if they want to win, they need to fight with ten times the risk of their lives!”
”Hit them until their hearts bled, hit them until their hearts trembled … Only then will they negotiate with us equally! ”
”Remember, we are signing a truce, not a surrender! There's a world of difference between the two results! ”
All the generals were worried about their own future. The great revolution of eighty years ago seemed very far away, but it was something that their parents and ancestors had personally experienced.
In that bloody massacre, how many aristocratic families were wiped out? How many ambitious people were there? The entire social class had been turned upside down. The ten Seine rivers of blood that had been lost could not be contained.
Thinking about their villa in Paris, imagining their wives and children, and their young and beautiful lovers, these were all happy lives. Once the revolution broke out, all of this would be for naught.
McMahon took the chance and struck the iron while it was hot: ”Gentlemen, if we go forward and fight to the death, perhaps many of us will die …” If we retreat, most of us will die! ”
”Is it the cowardly waiting for the destruction of all? Or do you want to fight bravely? To fight for that chance? I think this choice is not that difficult to make! ”
”All of you know that A Erfulade died, but what you don't know is that in the end, A Erfulade and the rest died while singing the song of the Marseille, and in the end, they did not lose face for the empire!”
”In that bloody battle at sini, he earned the honor of our France's Aristocratic Legion! Xiao Letian personally promised to bury those brave nobles! ”
”He wants the sini to build more monuments and carvings on the walls. He will not only be commemorating his men, he will also commemorate our brave soldiers!”
”A Erfulade used his life in exchange for the enemy's respect, but what about us? Can't you just risk it all? ”
”Marshal!” You don't have to … In this bloody battle, we will personally take part in the front lines, and we vow to defend Saidang to our deaths! ”
”Without bullets, we still have bayonets and swords. Even if it's a melee fight, we will still have to fight to the death!”
”We will fight to the last soldier! The only choice is to fight to the death! ”
McMahon felt his nose sour, and said extremely excited: ”Prepare for battle! The more time passes, the better we have to make the soldiers eat, and give us as much food as possible … It's been a long day! ”
The generals immediately dispersed. Soon enough, the massive Sedan stronghold began to bustle with activity. The logistics officers were ordered to move out the food, and soon enough, every unit received sufficient rations.
Each company began to set up a large pot of oatmeal porridge. The whole ham was sliced into pieces by bayonets and thrown into the porridge. The last piece of baguette was then distributed among them.
The sleeping soldiers were almost all enticed awake by the fragrance of the food. When they saw such a sumptuous breakfast today, they started to fight like vicious dogs.
A bowl of steaming oatmeal and two pieces of burnt baguettes gave them the feeling of recuperating in Paris for breakfast.
But after the soldiers finished eating, they discovered that the military officers in the group abnormally didn't rest in their own tents, and instead sat alone in the corner, sharpening their knives.
The warblade that was filled with the vicissitudes of history was splashed with clear water. His ancestor once brought him along to accompany Napoleon in his expedition to Egypt.
Grandfather passed it on to his father, and his father passed it on to him. Today, it was his turn to drink human blood!
