Early the next morning, Zhu Wencong stood on the hilltop, looking at the Metz Fortress in front of him; the Prussian Army's advancement was quite swift.
Mao Qi walked up to Zhu Wencong, first expressing gratitude for the support of the new weapons yesterday, which enabled the Prussian Army to rival the French Army in fire suppression.
The continuous three battles had strained both sides, with tens of thousands of casualties occurring each day.
"Yesterday, we lost twenty thousand, and the French Army lost twelve thousand. I believe you understand the reason; those veteran generals simply won't follow orders.
The French Army's Chassepot rifles are indeed advanced, but unfortunately, we don't have enough time for re-equipment, nor do we have sufficient funds.
Your Majesty, you previously promised me assurance for our logistical support. Now, with tens of thousands of our soldiers surrounding Metz, the logistical pressure is increasing significantly.
