Wild North America 1846

Chapter 461: Prussia in action

Mid-April 1866

More than a month after the Battle of Fushimi Toba

As the weather gets warmer, the civil war in the southwest battlefield of the Fuso Islands becomes more intense. The rebels rely on the favorable terrain in towns and mountains to resist fiercely, and the shogunate army's battle in Choshu is bumpy.

As expected, after suffering a few defeats, they advanced more than 30 kilometers to the southwest and then stopped, making no further progress.

Port of Osaka

The cruise ship "Yongtaishan" departed from Weihaiwei Port in China and successfully arrived at Osaka Port after two days and two nights of sailing.

After replenishing supplies here, the ship will set off for Midway Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This is a transoceanic voyage that lasts 8 days and 8 nights. Coal, water, and vegetables and food must be replenished at the port.

Taking advantage of his free time, Major General Fan Pengju, who returned from his hometown in China, was dressed in a white casual suit. He looked like a majestic official with a rosy complexion. He had obviously spent a happy time in his hometown.

After getting off the cruise ship, he was followed by more than 130 strong villagers of the Fan family, ranging in age from sixteen or seventeen to more than thirty years old. These are the descendants of the Fan family who were entrusted by his neighbors to bring him to North America for development.

Fan Peng returned home on this trip, and more than 130 people followed him to North America for development. There were more than 410 people on the cruise ship, including men, women, old and young.

"Cheers, for the unification of Germany."

Talundborg is a city with a population of about 30,000 people. A railway passing through it has become a supply line for maintaining the daily military supplies of the army. Every day, 3 to 4 trains loaded with supplies arrive at the train station.

All kinds of supplies piled up into mountains.

All of this was inseparable from the careful planning of the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck.

This calmed down their initial fearful and helpless mood after leaving their hometown. After all, there were many clansmen on the pier, and soon everyone was talking about it...

This time, the villagers brought their families to North America to seek shelter under the now prosperous Fan Pengju, hoping to have a good job and have enough food for their children. They would be satisfied if they could prosper in the future.

"I think the carriages and horses you have brought are not enough. These are my followers. Let's arrange for action together in the future." Major General Fan Pengju did not respond to the other party's words. He looked at the only two carriages on the dock and frowned.

.

Internally, the military dispatches armed patrol teams, combined with fixed sentry patrols, to arrest all suspicious persons who appear in military restricted areas.

"Okay then." Major General Fan Pengju finally nodded, turned around and said to an older fellow countryman, "Fifth Uncle, I'll go ahead and deal with urgent matters first. You can take them here to wait for a while, and then

Of course someone will make the arrangements."

The mutually independent state provided convenience for European powers such as Britain, France, Russia, and Switzerland to interfere in the affairs of the German region.

These days, the concept of clans and neighbors is strong, and immigrants from provincial relatives account for a large proportion. One person can lead a few people, or a few people can lead a large group of people. This is almost the norm for the imperial elite.

As for these more than 130 strong disciples of the Fan family, Fan Pengju is going to take them to experience the bloody and cruel scenes of war in Fusang Kingdom. If he can broaden his horizons and discover three or five talents who can be cultivated, it will be considered a treasure.

A large number of Prussian police sentries were deployed on the periphery of the road leading to the Talenberg military camp to provide 24-hour vigilance. No one was allowed to pass without a military warrant.

"Sir, you can go on your own business. There is no need to worry here." Uncle Wu responded humbly, without making any excuses.

The biggest obstacle to the unification of the German nation by the Kingdom of Prussia was the Austrian Empire, which also spoke German.

The complex situation in Europe affects the whole body.

For a long time, this has become the biggest obstacle for the German nation to achieve self-reliance, obtain coordinated development, and pursue regional voice.

"Cheers, dear generals, you have trained the soldiers very well. His Majesty the King would like to express his gratitude to the generals through me, and come... Cheers to the unification of Germany!" His Royal Highness the Prince raised the wine glass in his hand.

In today's era, the German nation has not yet achieved unity.

In the land of North America, which is rich in resources, as long as you work hard, you can live a prosperous life. No matter what, it is much better than struggling in your hometown, China.

Those training at the Talenberg military camp include the Prussian First Army, the Second Army, the 5th Cuirassier Division and the 6th Cuirassier Division of the Kingdom of Prussia, as well as part of the Bavarian 2nd Army. There are as many as 76 officers above the brigadier general level. , most of them belong to the traditional Junker military aristocracy, which can be said to be a gathering of stars.

Seeing the local Fusang people nodding and bowing respectfully towards Fan Pengju, the fifth uncle and all the Fan family's children were really eye-opening. It turned out that the old man was able to enjoy a good life in this place called the Japanese country, and he seemed to be highly respected.

Through the above measures

King William seized crucial military command power from the traditional German Junker military aristocracy, especially the Second Army, which was firmly controlled by the Prussian royal family, which greatly enhanced the monarch's voice.

"Then Fifth Uncle...you have to worry more." Fan Pengju was not too polite. He came back to his senses and waved his hand and said, "Lead the way, then we will take the first step."

There are about 265,000 elite troops gathered here, accounting for about 40% of the entire Prussian Empire's 640,000 troops. They are all main field legions and implement fully closed military training.

Uncle or uncle is worthless, not to mention that he still has a title. From now on, Fan Pengju will be the master, and the neighbors will all hope to follow him and make a living!

Without this bit of discernment, Uncle Wu would not have been accused of being the leader.

Major General Fan Pengju had just disembarked from the ship when he was caught by several Fusang people with hurried expressions. They all bowed at 90 degrees and the leader said;

All this depends on his eldest nephew, who is about the same age as him.

Talenberg military camp outside Berlin

This extremely large military camp is located on the banks of the Spree River 47 kilometers southeast of Berlin. It is surrounded by large areas of dense forest. A total of 17 large military camps are scattered in a military area of ​​more than 110 square kilometers, and the security is very tight.

Berlin Europe

The victory of the Prussian-Danish War in 1864 greatly inspired the national self-confidence of the German states, significantly improved the prestige of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire, and became the leaders of the two German-speaking countries that were indistinguishable. It attracted the attention of European countries.

"Cheers, may the glory of victory always shine on Your Highness and the noble princess."

The Second Army is the main force of the Kingdom of Prussia, with a total of 4 corps of 127,000 people, namely the Praetorian Guard, the Second Army, the Ninth Army, the Twelfth Army and the 5th Royal Cuirassier Division.

"I'm causing you trouble, General. It's really because of the urgent military situation on the front line that I have to urgently report to you to come back and take charge of the overall suppression of the rebellion. Please!"

From very early on, German intellectuals began to discuss the prospects of German reunification. However, as of the mid-19th century, there was still no practical solution to this problem.

In view of the sensitivity of the Austrian Empire's military preparations, the Kingdom of Prussia did its best to block information.

Standing next to His Royal Highness is his wife, Princess Victoria-Louise. She is the eldest daughter of Her Majesty Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of the United Kingdom. She has a very distinguished status and attended this grand banquet hand in hand with her husband.

After saying that, he got into the carriage under the respectful greetings of several Fuso people, and soon left the dock.

The leader did not dare to neglect, and bowed again and replied sincerely: "Hey, it's because we were not well prepared. I'm really sorry for causing trouble to you. I will contact the dock police station to organize the carriage and horses immediately. Please don't worry, we will arrive soon."

It can be arranged;"

As long as there is a chance to return to China to visit relatives, it is inevitable to bring a large number of fellow countrymen to North America. Firstly, it is needed for the construction of the fiefdom. It is better to use outsiders than using the children of one's own clan. Secondly, it is the bond of nostalgia, and they can stay together for warmth.

Chinese national tradition.

In the traditional northwestern European region, there were numerous large and small states. Although the citizens all spoke the same language, German, they were independent of each other politically, diplomatically, and militarily.

When two strong forces fight, one of them will be injured.

A unified and powerful German nation-state would inevitably lead to military intervention by France, causing deep fear in England, as well as a chain reaction from the neighboring Nordic powers Sweden and Tsarist Russia in the East.

The commander-in-chief of the First Army was King William's nephew, Prince Friedrich Karl, known as the "Blood Prince", a Junker military aristocrat with rich combat experience.

The commander of the Twelfth Army was Duke Albert, Crown Prince of Saxony, who was King William's closest confidant.

A European-style mansion in Talenberg was brightly lit, and senior generals from the Second Army were attending a grand cocktail party. This was also a common way for His Royal Highness Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Nicholas Karl to win over and get close to his subordinates.

Even if you fund the construction of a clan ancestral hall, you still have to have clan children to help you!

Among the seven main armies and two heavy cavalry divisions trained in Talundborg, the Second Army Corps was especially the most abundant and powerful;

The commander-in-chief of the corps is His Royal Highness Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, Crown Prince of Prussia, and the commander of the Royal Guards under him is Prince August of Württemberg. Lieutenant General James Kahn, commander of the Second Army, and Lieutenant General James Kahn, commander of the Ninth Army

Major General Manstein was an experienced general from the Tang Empire.

"Cheers, to victory."

More than thirty generals raised their glasses one after another, with expressions of ardent expectation on their faces. Unifying the German nation was not only the wish of the Prussian royal family, but also the common wish of all Junker military nobles.

This common goal tightly unites everyone, including Lieutenant General James Kahn and Major General Manstein in the crowd.

They were once members of the Junker military aristocracy, with the hot Gurgru-Saxon martial spirit flowing in their blood. They longed to see the rise of a unified and powerful German nation-state, rather than the scattered sand in front of them.

When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
