Chapter 117: One wave of unrest and another wave rises again

Even if there is a slight mistake in the French army's strategy, can Austria, which cannot even muster 100,000 troops, be expected to defeat the French army?

Even Austria, which has a genius like Prince Eugen in the parallel world, has to choose the result of a tie. It is definitely not possible to expect the Habsburgs to be worse than the Austria in the past.

Filletria carried out my order very well to contain the French army on the flanks, and defeated Villeroy, the four-nation coalition of the Principality of Isenberg, the Principality of Baden, the Principality of Weilburg, and the Principality of Uusingen.

The Duke asked her to stop him at the border of the Principality of Hesse, but after that, Philetria retreated to the vicinity of Nuremberg. The 20,000 people on her side could barely contain a French army division.

Just when I fully expected that the defense line presided over by the Prince of Baden would be breached, the Prince of Baden actually decisively gave up the defense line built in the Württemberg town of Göppingen, paying the price of seemingly thousands of people to cover it.

retreated to Ulm, where Bavaria

There are more than 20,000 people in the coalition forces of the Electorate of Leia and the Kingdom of Austria. Including the original army of the Prince of Baden, the total is 40,000. It seems that the Prince of Baden placed the defense line there to ensure that the elector of Bavaria

Munich, the capital of the princely state, was not attacked by the French army.

Ulm is indeed a good defensive position. It has the original Black Forest of Germany on the left and the Ka Valley on the right. If it is operated well, it should be able to block the French army. The French army will not be able to break through from the front and can only look for fighters from the flanks.

Divert the trouble eastward to the flank.

Although I am worried that something like this will happen, I am not very optimistic about this defensive team composed of the two countries' coalition forces, even if their defensive position is good. Who allowed this coalition to have an elector Maximilian, and in

The Austrian general who withstood the French offensive there was just the Prince of Baden, an ordinary German prince and duke.

Everyone also knows the result of an army being given orders by two commanders. The most famous one is the Battle of Cannae where Hannibal violently defeated the Romans. Moreover, Ulm is not a defensive city, and there is obviously a better Og behind.

Fort can be defended. But who knew that the Elector of Bavaria wanted to keep the French army out of Bavaria, so he chose to start the battle in Ulm. Once the French army defeated this army, the French army would be able to sweep all the military forces in South Germany until Munich.

.

To my surprise, the French army launched a counterattack against the Netherlands at this time. Just when I was confused, in early October, news came from China and Germany that the Principality of Hesse was attacking Hanover and Braunschweig.

It suddenly dawned on me that if I dare to love the French, they are killing someone with a borrowed knife.

But this is a bargain for me.

I quickly wrote a letter and sent it to the Netherlands to ask William of Orange if it was possible for me to help him clean up the Duchy of Hesse.

Naturally, I will not be so full of justice. As for the cost of rescuing Hanover and Brunswick, my condition is the Duchy of Mecklenburg.

If the French did not launch an offensive in the Netherlands and did not encourage the Duke of Hesse to attack Hanover and Brunswick, launching an offensive against the Principality of Mecklenburg would have to worry about the Swedish reaction. But now, we can invade Mecklund without restraint.

The territory of the Principality of Mecklenburg, let alone worry about the Swedes landing in the Principality of Mecklenburg.

Levard's campaign in the Principality of Mecklenburg went smoothly. The Duke of Mecklenburg, who was defeated and fled back to the Principality of Mecklenburg, was attacked by Leopold and others at the border. He was injured and retreated to a local town.

, a few days later, news came out that the Duke was critically ill. He was leaderless and lacked a major general.

The Duke of Mecklenburg was unable to resist the invasion of this main force. In less than a month, except for Mecklenburg, the capital of the Duchy of Mecklenburg, several large cities became our spoils. But my

The final target was not the city of Mecklenburg, but their port.

The offensive of the Duchy of Mecklenburg is progressing well, and the Fifth Spartan Army is progressing even more smoothly in Newmark.

During the night attack under the city of Berlin, all the Junkers who were determined to resist were devastated. Now the resolute rebels are either ascending to heaven or staying in prison. The remaining ones who were lucky enough to escape back to their hometowns probably saw no hope of victory and lost the will to resist.

.In short, in the face of the invasion of the Fifth Spartan Legion, there are many people who plan to change their lives and distance themselves from each other, but there are still some people who provide experience points for the Fifth Spartan Legion.

The enemy was Count Leibniz.

Count Leibniz, the Great Juncker of the Council of Ten, the uncle of Friedelia's close friend Hans, a great landowner in the Kingdom of Prussia, and the senior member of the Juncker faction in the Manor of the Kingdom of Prussia, such a person now plays a role

The role of leading the Junkers. The Junkers surrounding Count Leibniz put up a desperate resistance, but the area of ​​activity available to them was getting smaller and smaller. It won’t take too long for us to completely suppress the Neumark Junkers.

Gram's Rebellion.

Among the three staple foods, except for Saxony, the other two were the most delicious as long as they were cooked a little more. In order to expand the authority of the Kingdom of Prussia, I then started eating the snacks that came with it, the German princes.

Those small German lords don't have much territory, and their titles are not very high. If allowed, I really want to annex them all. Although they can't bring much territory expansion to Prussia, they can annex more than a dozen principalities and counties in a row.

The amount of information is still very large. If the territories of the principalities and counties cannot be clearly identified, people may even misunderstand that the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia has expanded n times. The reality is that even if all the small lords of Germany are annexed,

Their territory is not as big as the Duchy of Mecklenburg.

The small princes were close to Prussia and were an eyesore. The best option was to annex them and use their fate to tell the surrounding lords that they should be honest and don't be greedy for petty advantages.

Those that are not too close to Prussia, and those that are so small that they don’t even know their mother, will still end up being annexed. Those that are larger with few relatives will still be annexed. Those that are larger with more relatives will be annexed.

The territory was transferred to Prussia, and I moved the distance between Prussia and Prussia

Throw the small duchies and small uncles that are quite far away to them. No, keep it. As for the larger ones, except for a family that was treated as a chicken that was killed for the monkeys and was destined to be annexed by the Russians, I decided to talk to those guys

We signed a tariff agreement and discussed currency unification.

On October 25, after more than 20 days of nonsense with the Netherlands, because William of Orange was in transit and forced by the fait accompli that we had occupied the Principality of Mecklenburg, Karl XII acquiesced

We occupy the coastal areas of the Principality of Mecklenburg, but in order to ensure the Swedish suzerainty over the Principality of Mecklenburg, we must retreat

out of the occupation of Mecklenburg. In exchange for allowing us to occupy Mecklenburg, William of Orange was forced to borrow half a million Dutch guilders from Sweden for five years per year. In terms of the acquisition of timber and iron, Ned.

Prussia lifted the sanctions imposed on Sweden the year before. In return, Prussia sent troops to the Principality of Hesse to ensure the territorial integrity of the two principalities of Hanover and Braunschweig.

The above are all agreements that cannot be made public. They will only take effect if Prussia successfully suppresses Hesse. If it fails, the Netherlands will cancel the agreement to assist Sweden. If Sweden is not satisfied, it will naturally not let Mei.

The Duchy of Kronborg was occupied by Prussia.

William of Orange's request is very fair. Now that I have obtained the commitment and agreement I want, I don't have to stay in Prussia and give Levard and Alexei two weeks to collect orders for carriages and grooms.

, I asked Leon to send Assassin to collect intelligence about the Principality of Hesse.

As a force that I have always wanted to deal with, most of the information about the Hessian Principality is in my head, but I still need to grasp their recent trends to provide me with clear goals for my next strategy.

So it took more than ten days, until November, before I was ready to send troops to the Principality of Hesse.

This time, the troops that follow me will be Levald who returned south from the Principality of Mecklenburg and the Hessian regiment along the way. The Saxon regiment, four Prussian infantry regiments and accompanying artillery, a total of 15,000 people.

The army, plus the Fifth Spartan Legion, the Mustache Regiment and Leopold and other cavalry, sent Hessian troops to more than 29,000 people. Counting the horsemen accompanying the army, there will be a total of 30,000 people. (Unfinished)
