After Charlie arrived with the Austrian army, Suvorov waved his hand fiercely. He knew that with the arrival of Charlie, České Budejevice would become more difficult to attack. If they attacked by force, maybe the Russian army would fill in.
In this bottomless pit, Suvorov ordered the entire army to maintain the attack formation but did not launch a large-scale attack. The two armies faced off like this.
On the other side, William, after defeating the main Austrian army led by Lacy, ordered Ferdinand and Itans to lead a 50,000-strong Prussian and Bavarian coalition to go directly south and march to Prague.
At the same time, in order to prevent the French from jumping into panic after hearing the news, William dispatched 30,000 troops to urgently support Marshal Dessau.
At this time, the Luxembourg area has become a battlefield between the Prussian and French sides. Although France has dispatched nearly 100,000 troops, due to the empty French treasury, some soldiers even have only ten rounds of spare bullets, and some soldiers even lack military uniforms.
No equipment is safe.
Dessau looked at these weak attacking French troops and curled his lips in disdain. Nearly 100,000 troops attacked a position defended by only 40,000 people. After fighting for more than ten days, they still made no progress. If he was a French
The coach is probably going to commit suicide out of shame.
The fact is just like what Dessau said. Looking at the ineffective French army, the head coach Count Clermain wanted to kill the corrupt and corrupt nobles in the royal capital. Count Clermain was also a veteran who participated in the Seven Years' War, and he was very aggressive towards Prussia.
It can be said that the military knows everything.
You must know that most of the veterans who currently play the role of Optimus Prime in various countries grew up during the Seven Years' War. Their understanding of each other is unmatched by others. Isn't there a saying: the person who knows you best
Is he your enemy?
As for Dessau on the opposite side, although Count Clermain had never fought against him, the old Dessau had fought against him many times.
Koehler was busy in his tent and wrote to Louis XVI again. He asked Louis XVI:
"Dear Your Majesty, our army is in a dangerous situation. The weather is cold now, but there are still many soldiers without winter clothes. Now the weather has become an ally of the Prussians. I request you to transport the logistics as soon as possible.
Come here. We also have a serious shortage of ammunition, not even enough for one battle. Your Majesty, it is difficult for me to command such a large army to win victory for France."
After Louis XVI received Clemson's letter, he asked Marie how to solve the problem.
Mary gritted her teeth and thought for a while, then said harshly:
"Your Majesty, since there is no money in the treasury, we will increase taxes on the nobles. In addition, Your Majesty, I think our expenses can be appropriately reduced."
Louis XVI had no reaction to the increase in taxes on the nobles, but when he heard that his expenses were reduced, he hurriedly shouted:
"Mary, I recently thought of a good idea that can be used on my locks. You can't do this to me."
Queen Mary waited until Louis XVI finished speaking, and her tears fell instantly. She cried:
"Your Majesty, you don't love me anymore. Those locks are more important than me, Your Majesty."
Louis XVI frowned, gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, I promise you, damn Prussians, when the war is over I will chain up all the Prussians."
After getting permission from Louis XVI, Mary immediately sent an order to the ministers, and Mary also changed her previous luxurious life. She was ruthless and no longer held court balls and bought those luxury goods. Many French veterans were very worried about Mary.
They were surprised by the change, but then this surprise turned into surprise again. They thought that the king and his wife had returned to normal, and France's strength was just around the corner.
Although the edict of Louis XVI has been issued, the nobles are resisting the edict openly and covertly and want to increase taxes on them. They are not without malicious thoughts whether His Majesty the King's head has been caught in the door. Although the tax increase has encountered layers of obstacles
There was resistance, but with Mary's slight savings, the royal family still had a considerable amount of money, which Mary quickly turned into military supplies and transported to the front line.
After Koehler hurriedly obtained this batch of logistical supplies, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. But just as he was relieved, he received a piece of news that made him anxious. The news was that Lacy had been defeated.
Le Mang couldn't believe it. Lacy had actually been defeated, and he had lost with a superior force. Le Mang's intuition was spinning, and he felt that the prospect of this war was already very bleak.
Lacy was spinning, but there was someone who was more distressed than him. When Teresa received the news that Lacy's troops were defeated and annihilated, she spat out a mouthful of blood. What was going on? God had really abandoned the Habs.
Even during the most difficult period of the Seven Years' War, Teresa didn't feel as desperate as she does today. Yes, it was desperate.
There are only more than 10,000 newly recruited soldiers in the city of Vienna. I originally thought that even if Lacy could not easily defeat the Prussians, he could still kill the Prussians, but who would have thought that they were defeated. Now it is over, and the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to Austria.
Well, she had to do something, this was Queen Teresa's last thought before she fell into a coma.
Joseph II and Leopold, who had just been redeemed, sat dumbfounded in their chairs. They also couldn't believe the terrible news. Now Vienna's corset has been torn off by the Prussians. As long as the Prussians are willing, Vienna will
It will change ownership.
Joseph II urgently summoned all the nobles in Vienna. He asked all the nobles to help defend Vienna. At the same time, Joseph II ordered Kaunitz to sue for peace with Prussia. The war could not continue. If the war continued, the Habsburg family
It will be completely ruined.
After Kaunitz received the order from Joseph II, he led his people to the north. On the way, they saw a large number of Prussian troops appearing in front of them. Kaunitz, a veteran who had experienced many turbulent political disputes, could not help but feel sorry for Austria.
Worried about the future.
Two days later, Kaunitz arrived at William's military camp. After receiving the report from his attendants, William ordered people to bring Kaunitz in.
Before Kaunitz could say anything, William said first:
"Your Excellency Kaunitz, I don't know why you came all the way."
Although Kaunitz was worried about whether the mission could be completed, he bowed politely and said:
"Your Majesty the King, I came here this time to receive the entrustment from my emperor to promote the friendship between Prussia and Austria."
After hearing this, William was surprised and said:
"Your Excellency Kaunitz, do we have friendship?"
Kaunitz straightened his face and said:
"Your Majesty, our friendship between Austria and the Kingdom of Prussia can be traced back to the reign of your ancestor, His Majesty Frederick William I. At that time, we were inseparable allies."
William asked with interest:
"Your Excellency Kaunitz, I remember that you were usually very hostile to Prussia. Why have you changed your attitude now?"
If the situation wasn't really unfavorable, do you think I would come to see you, you brat, Kaunitz thought. But under William's gaze, he could only say:
"Your Majesty the King, it was indeed my fault before. I think that for the sake of the happy life of the people of Prussia and Austria, we should stop fighting and not let more families be torn apart."
William nodded slightly and said:
"It is true that the war between us has broken up many families, but Mr. Kaunitz, in order to defeat you, I think the people of Prussia will understand me."
After Kaunitz heard William's words, his eyes darkened and he almost fainted, but then Kaunitz adjusted his mentality and said:
"Your Majesty, the war has reached this point. Hundreds of thousands of families have lost their family members. And even if Austria is defeated, Your Majesty, do you think you can gain hegemony in the Holy Roman Empire?"
William said calmly:
"Why not, Mr. Kaunitz?"
When Kaunitz heard this, he felt something funny and hurriedly said loudly:
"Your Majesty, it took hundreds of years for the Habsburg family to gain hegemony over the Holy Roman Empire. How many years do you think it will take? What's more, France and Prussia's current allies, Russia and Britain, are unlikely to want Prussia to gain hegemony in the empire."
William smiled and said:
"Your Excellency Kaunitz, you don't have to scare me. Hohenzollern is never afraid of any challenges."
"Your Majesty, yes, Prussia is powerful now, but in the face of the unity of the entire Europe, do you think you have a chance of winning? Do you still want to have a Seven Years War?" Kaunitz said calmly
Before William could react, the attendants on the side shouted boldly and wanted to capture Kaunitz. William waved his hand and asked everyone except Kaunitz to leave the tent.
William said:
"Your Excellency Kaunitz, the problem you mentioned does exist, but at present, even if the countries do not want me to gain hegemony, I don't think they have the energy to stop me."
"Your Majesty the King, I want you to understand that both Russia and the Holy Roman Empire claim to have inherited the Roman Empire, and now Catherine II wants to extend Russia's tentacles into the empire all the time. Now the Russian army has arrived in the Czech Republic
Budejevice, do you think they can retreat obediently?" Kaunitz continued his analysis.
William nodded and said:
"What you say makes sense, but we are still allies with Russia, right?"
"Your Majesty, there is no friendship between countries, only interests. I think you must know what happened to Peter III back then," Kaunitz asked. After seeing William nodded, he continued:
"Your Majesty, although you may not want to hear it, if it weren't for Peter III's stupidity, I think Prussia would have become history."
Thinking of that period of history, William had to admit that if it hadn't been for Peter III's betrayal, Prussia would have been defeated.
"Your Majesty, the current Catherine II came to power by overthrowing her husband, and this queen is more aggressive than the previous tsar. The relationship between Prussia and Austria is just an internal war within the empire, but once the wolf is lured into the house, Russia will
People have come in, and if I try to drive them away, they can't be driven away," Kaunitz said adding fuel to the fire.
William completely corrected his attitude now. He knew that Kaunitz was right. Napoleon's army that later swept across Europe was defeated by these Russians. Although some people said that the weather in Russia was the main reason,
However, the strength of the Russian army played an important role in defeating Napoleon.
