Austria had a better geographical location against the Italian war, because the Venetian region was in the hands of the Austrian army, so they could not march in the narrow mountainous areas, so they could advance or retreat. Of course, their fate could only be to advance and retreat first. Just like the French army, the Austrian army did not have good mental preparations for the powerful artillery that the US military revealed that the Italian army might have. Artillery? Which general has never seen a battlefield? How powerful can it be?

To be honest, the US military has not summarized it well. The Italian army not only has strong artillery, but also has strong production and transportation capabilities of artillery shells. Carpet bombing has never seen this. Even if the Austrian army is braver and stricter than the Italian army, it cannot compete with the modern assembly line military vehicles and artillery shell production lines of the Windsor Consortium in Milan.

When the Italian army found an opportunity for a decisive battle, the Italian army on the eastern front exploded and the invading Austrian army was scattered, and the morale of the army was dispersed. The Italian army, whose quality was unbearable, had a great confidence and beat the dogs to the water and advanced towards Venice. It seemed that the Italian soldiers had not been so happy since the collapse of the Roman Empire.

Both friendly forces were defeated. The Prussian army withstood the pressure of friendly forces' attack. Under Moltke's command, they still dug endless tunnels in an orderly manner, which made the engineers suffer but avoided the baptism of artillery fire. The Prussian army adopted the strategy of defending as an attack, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

The best time is to blow strong winds, and snow is too rare in Italy. However, the Pu army actually encountered a storm and snowy day. At this time, the airship could not stare at the Pu army in the world. So, with General Moltke's order, the Pu army emerged from the ground one after another, like a large army of zombies.

The military goals of the zombie army were also very clear. They must get the artillery of the Italian army. They braved the wind and snow and quickly penetrated into the enemy territory. The two sides fought a tough battle in the encounter. What surprised the Italian army the most was that their weapons seemed to be comparable to the FN-1855! It turned out that the Pu army had quietly equipped half of the troops, that is, 50,000 people, with the newly produced metal fixed-loading bombs. The Prussian military scientists had quietly cracked the secret of smokeless gunpowder and produced the first batch of wars that had been prepared to fight a huge gap in strength with the Italian army.

Before the war began, Bismarck once asked Moltke: "Can you win?"

Moltke replied: "It's hard to win, but it can be unbeaten."

So, Bismarck decided to invade northern Italy through Austria and cooperate with Austrian Eastern Army. If the treacherous prime minister got an answer that could be defeated, he would definitely try his best to withdraw from NATO. In his eyes, Prussia must not be defeated, otherwise the ideal of unifying the German region would be shattered.

After the rectification, the Pu army's war quality was obviously higher than that of the Italian army. Finally, the Italian army suffered a great defeat on the Western Front and Eastern Front, and lost nearly a hundred cannons that were crucial to the war!

The Pu army's strategy for the Italian army is "no guns, no cannons, the enemy will build it for us!" They even wanted to get the airship. After working hard to find the airship's dock, they found that the firepower of the rifle used by the other party has been further improved. It is a top rifle only available in the Italian Royal Guards. The Black Contractor, the brutal Pu army plundering squad was finally suppressed, and the airship evacuated the battlefield in the firefighting and snow.

Fortunately, the Italian army had a good command system, which made them retreat in an orderly manner and would not collapse all at once. This time, the Prussian army won until the city of Brescia, which was less than 100 kilometers away from Milan.

The city of Brescia was tightly defended, and the Royal Guards (many were not Italians) were stationed. The Prussian army was unable to make progress. At this time, the wind and snow became smaller. The tentative reconnaissance of the airship made General Moltke worried about the strong counterattack of the Yi army, so he ordered the army to retreat to Verona with the spoils.

The Italian army leader on the northern line was careless and underestimated the enemy after losing one hundred cannons, thinking that the Pu army would not learn to use it in a short period of time. In order to cover up their mistakes, he even claimed in a report to the headquarters that "only lost a few cannons" and that the Italian army, which was "talking and laughing, used troops" in the next frontal decisive battle, was bombarded by the Pu army who was so smart that he quickly learned to use a 6-inch howitzer. This time it was a real defeat.

The airship troops discovered the fierce artillery of the Pu army and exposed the lies of the Italian army's front-line commander. The Italian General Staff was furious and replaced the generals in front of the formation.

This time, the Prussian army's army's front was approaching near the capital Milan. At this time, Tang Ning received the news in the Humble Administrator's Garden, shook his head and sighed: "The Italians are really..."

Now the Humble Administrator's Garden is Qi Taiyu's home, and he laughed: "It seems that you are right here to come to China. It's so safe here. The only Russian who is a little threat is blocked by Shi Dakai on the border. Li Xiucheng is blocked by the war in the three northeastern provinces, and it is difficult to fight the Yangtze River Basin. The whole world is fighting, and only China is resting."

Tang Ning smiled: "The word "rest" is well used. Britain, Japan, the United States, and the German nations are all ethnic groups that are good at fighting. I was not the Qing Dynasty. The Manchus used to be, but under the Confucius and Mencius culture, farming culture and civil servant system, they soon became unfair. The status of military officers is too low, and the leaders of the tutor training are actually civil servants."

Qi Taiyu: "Shi Dakai and Li Xiucheng have done a great job. Li Xiucheng has already besieged Irkutzk. Wow, will you improve your status as a military officer?"

Tang Ning: "Of course they need to reward, but there is no need to deliberately improve the status of military officers. The important thing in our consortium is to improve the status of capital... Li Hongzhang recently sent someone to hint that you hand over the Humble Administrator's Garden? This guy... is still in the era of official position."

Qi Taiyu: "Yes, he is still an elected official now, so it's not easy to deal with."

Tang Ning: "It's hard to do it, so let me think about it..."

He thought about it and thought it was upset: "How about... let's open the ban on guns. Rich people can hold guns, but officials will beat them to death if they trespass on a private house."

Qi Taiyu was startled: "Will this... cause guns to spread? It's not easy to open it."

Tang Ning: "Some restrictions can be set. Those with criminal records cannot, and those with family members with criminal records cannot, because such people can easily get the guns of their families. Also, gun holders must hang plaques at the door to show that the family has guns, so that the thieves can enter carefully to avoid losing their lives. Anyway, everyone thinks about it. Once the people have guns to guard their homes, the government must be careful before the action. Without a court search warrant, breaking into private houses will cause their lives to lose their lives."

Tang Ning's desire to have higher property rights than official rights is very strong. Qi Taiyu, who already has the privilege of holding a gun, wanted to stop him but he didn't stop him. Of course, this attempt will only be implemented in provinces with elected governors. Exclusive elections are a big starting point, and everything is very different from here.

Li Hongzhang is not simple. According to the latest information, Lord Li's relationship network has expanded from a local businessman led by Hu Xueyan to the Rothschild family. Rothschild has turned his attention to the rising market of the Qing Dynasty, a big country. The bank is open happily and has also established relationships with the elected governor.

When the regent minister Guo Songtao conveyed the suggestion of opening the gun ban to Li Hongzhang, he was rejected by the latter. The elected officials were indeed confident and made Guo Guo very angry.

To govern the elected governor, you have to go from the Independent Commission Against Corruption Office directly under the court. The Qing Dynasty Newspaper announced the address of the Jiangsu Independent Commission Against Corruption Office and publicly solicited anti-corruption ideas. Our great Qing Dynasty has been a fertile soil for corruption since ancient times. Because the imperial power is not supervised, the official power is naturally not supervised. The inspection mechanism for the news is just a powerful tool for political enemies to attack each other.

In order to modernize the rule of law, the Qing Dynasty had in principle abolished the "watching news" and had to tell evidence in everything. This also brought about a big problem. There was no evidence to tell many things, especially bribery and bribery. Both parties basically operated secretly and made a fortune in silence. If officials with "good official qualities" fail to do the work, they would return the stolen money to Zhao. There were special relatives to collect these "filial piety" through various means, such as calligraphy, painting, porcelain, and general equivalents that can be used to compensate cash, which can be said to be safe. Or the advanced ones simply trade secretly through Jewish banks. What do you think Rothschild did when he came to China?

An even better official is "corrupt but not injuring the law". It is like two people begging an official to do business at the same time. The money from both families is first accepted, and then they do their work impartially. After that, they return the bribe that has not been completed. After being greedy, they have gained a good reputation. Where can I reason?

After the golden idea plan was released, corrupt countries were full of talents, and there were naturally many tricks to fight corruption. As long as you seriously fight corruption, nothing is impossible. Lord Guo hurriedly sent a telegram introducing the divine suggestions put forward by a "expert": "Punish corrupt officials and reward bribes."

What does this mean? The principle of this God's suggestion is that the entry point is the tacit understanding between corrupt officials and bribers, regardless of whether the matter is done well or not, and they cannot be known to outsiders, otherwise both parties will be punished by law. God's suggestion describes an imagination that the bribers are actually in a weak position. If they do not bribe, they will be excluded by their peers and power. Therefore, in the God-Ceury environment, there is only one way out for bribery. Ethical point of view, bribers are often helpless. If officials enforce the law impartially, who is idle and has nothing to do to take this risk?

Therefore, bribers should not be punished, but also rewarded. There should be no more rewards. As long as they are asked to take back the bribe, they will burn high incense. In this way, those awesome officials who collect two portions of money and do one thing will have a huge risk of being reported.

Since there is no risk of being punished, the bribers have no motivation to keep confidential, which is quite dangerous for the bribers. The "tactic understanding" between the two parties is gone. Maybe one day the bribers will go to the Independent Commission Against Corruption to be a stained witness when they are in a bad mood.

On the other hand, the rights of the briber are protected by law, and he can calculate the benefits of bribery in a swagger. If the result is not satisfactory, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will make the decision for him. What a wonderful check and balance of power.

When Guo Songtao received this suggestion, he was applauding. Haha, what should corrupt officials do? If they don’t accept them, why do they come to be officials? If they accept them, the risk is infinitely magnified. If they are not careful, they will be invited to tea by the ICAC. Perhaps from then on, officials could only kill old friends. Only acquaintances reported him were less risky, and the field of corruption was greatly compressed.

In order to reduce judicial costs, Tang Ning formulated the "counter transaction" principle with a strong capitalist flavor. Even killing and setting fire can be settled privately behind the scenes. Therefore, Lao Guo believed that Tang Ning would support this similar proposal. However, Tang Ning always felt that something was wrong here. In the future, everyone would bribe and do things. It is reasonable to bribe. Is this... still a way to save it?

Tang Ning called Qi Taiyu to discuss, and Lao Qi laughed: "This move is too harmful! But it is definitely a killer weapon to improve the status of civilians! I support it!"

Tang Ning pondered: "You support it too. It seems that this is indeed a God's suggestion, but... I still feel that something is wrong..."

First, let the plan be announced in the Qing Dynasty Newspaper to see what the Qing citizens reacted. The officials were shocked to see such a plan and asked the gunman to call the ICAC: "You can't do this. If you are so morally degraded, the country will not be in the long run..."

Lord Li Hongzhang was extremely silent. He seemed to have smelled an unusual atmosphere, and his political cultivation was quite superb. After all, Lord Li was just an elected local official. The Independent Commission Against Corruption clearly stated that the imperial court checked and balanced local officials, and he could not control the place no matter how popular he was.

Feng Guifen, who is specialized in education affairs under Li Hongzhang (the student of Lin Zexu who proposed the "Cundong County Dong") also gave a supplementary bribery plan to improve the legal bribery plan in morality and ethics. He can record the amount, objects, what, who is bribed before or after bribery, and send it to the ICAC. It is equivalent to a temporary employee who specializes in fishing and law enforcement to "test" officials, while the ICAC is responsible for selecting typical cases to investigate.

This idea is good, which is equivalent to the whole people being a member of the quarantine fishing law enforcement organization. This ethical tenable is enough? Finally, the court announced the biggest reform in China's history of corruption. Bribery can be legal and can be retrieved or even protected anonymously. The Qing Dynasty News even taught everyone how to preserve evidence of bribery for verification. This time, what calligraphy and paintings and porcelain can be more dangerous than cash, because these things come from a clearer way, and even have invoices.
