Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1179

Paris.

Henry angrily smashed a porcelain vase from the Empire to pieces.

The news of Vaduz’s defeat spread back to the country from the Austrian front as if it had wings, causing panic in the newly unified France.

After successive civil wars and wars against Prussia and Austria, France was riddled with holes, in dire straits, and suffered a lot of damage to its production.

In the past, Henry could still live with the war supplies supported by the empire, but after the empire stopped supplying, Henry’s life suddenly became difficult, and this was one of the reasons why he launched the invasion war.

After all, plundering materials comes faster than production. The reason why the empire occupied their colonies is that they can no longer plunder colonies, but can only plunder European countries.

But now his plunder plan failed, 70,000 French elites were defeated, and he lost his last bargaining chip.

There are only two paths before him now, either to risk a full-scale war, or to retreat and recuperate.

The former is a big gamble, and the latter depends on whether the empire is happy or not.

“Immediately order the mobilization of the entire population. France must arm itself to resist the invasion of the empire.” The order was issued after a brief hesitation.

After thinking about it, he chose the latter. Obviously, he could not defeat the Austrian army supported by the empire, so he could only recuperate and look for opportunities.

But he was afraid of retaliation from Austria, so he could only scare the enemy by assuming a fighting posture like a crowing rooster.

A group of French upstarts were also panicked, and the name of the empire haunted them like a nightmare.

At the same time, Felix II of Königsberg had received news from Most. The attack of the imperial army was like lightning. Before anyone could react, an imperial army occupied the place and burned it. supplies here.

After doing these things, the imperial army also used moving machinery to carry soldiers everywhere to attack their transport carriages, causing heavy damage to the supply lines.

Then, and that’s not all, after destroying the Prussian supplies, this army attacked the Prussian army in Prague from behind.

The Prussian front line, which was caught off guard, was constantly being torn apart, running out of ammunition and food, his army was defeated like a mountain, and the situation on the battlefield had been completely reversed.

“Your Majesty, now we must defend Prussian land. With the help of imperial soldiers, the Austrian army is likely to attack us in retaliation.” A general was worried.

Schroeder heard this and said: “You have also seen how powerful the imperial army is. Do you think we can defend them? I think the most important thing now is to negotiate with the empire and terminate the attack on Austria.”

If it were before, Ferreira II would have Schroeder smiled at his words, but now the facts told him that he underestimated the empire’s strength, and he paid a heavy price for this.

“No matter what we say, we cannot guarantee that Prussia will not be attacked. We must mobilize every Prussian immediately.” Ferrer II almost made the same determination as Henry.

Like Henry, he also wanted to use this move to deter the imperial and Austrian attacks.

After a pause, he said to Schroeder: “Of course, I will also consider negotiations.”

After making the decision with difficulty, Ferreira II suddenly seemed to have aged a lot. He understood that his ambitions were doomed by the interference of the empire. It cannot be achieved.

Compared to the situation in France and Prussia, Austria fell into a carnival. They followed the imperial army to regain the occupied cities one by one.

The three warring parties quickly retreated to the original national border.

At the same time, news from France and Prussia continued to arrive, and Ye Qingyun and Lu Jun also arrived in Vienna at this time.

“Commander Ye, Commander Lu, both France and Prussia are mobilizing now and seem to be preparing to significantly expand their armies.” Franz relayed the information he had obtained to the two of them.

“Are they ready to go to bed again? Are they crazy?” Obina felt a little incredible.

Ye Qingyun and Lu Jun were indifferent. Ye Qingyun said: “If you chase away a dog that bites you, when you pick up a stick and approach it, it will definitely show its teeth and scare you.

This is what France and Prussia are like now. They have lost a lot of elites in this war, and they definitely don’t want to continue fighting, but at the same time they are worried that we will take revenge. “

Franz wants to fight back, but Austria has suffered a lot of trauma this time. He said: “This war has severely damaged the vitality of the three countries, and Austria cannot continue to support the next war. I hope that the empire can come forward to coordinate and officially end this war.”

“I understand what your Majesty meant, and now we have fulfilled it. The content of the agreement is to defeat the enemy together, and the rest will naturally be decided by your majesty.” Ye Qingyun said.

This time the empire was not prepared to be too involved in the European war. After all, if it continued to fight France, its troops would not be enough.

Furthermore, the purpose of the war is to promote the Entente and stop the war. At the same time, the empire also needs France and Prussia to play the role of European villains so that other countries will fall into the arms of the empire.

As for whether to deal with these two countries in the future, it will have to wait until the empire’s army is further mechanized and equipped with bombers.

By then, battlefield mortality among Imperial soldiers would be even lower.

After expressing his thoughts, Ye Qingyun stopped talking. Franz became happy. He was now thinking about starting trade with the empire and making Austria strong again.

While the Three Kingdoms were fighting, other European countries were also watching this war involving empires.

After witnessing the empire’s invincibility on the European battlefield, the Netherlands was the first to send an envoy to Vienna.

“Brother Tang, long time no see.” When he saw Tang Wenjie in Vienna, Rhodes, dressed in imperial uniform, said in standard imperial language.

Tang Wenjie was full of enthusiasm. When the fighting on the European battlefields subsided, he came to Vienna and waited, because he knew that there would be countries that could not withstand the temptation to join the Vienna Entente.

“Rhode, you are really looking more and more like an Imperial man now.” Tang Wenjie sighed as he looked at Rhodes, who was almost the same as an Imperial man except for his appearance.

Rod said: “Since returning to the Netherlands, there is not a day when I don’t miss the life in the Empire, and I firmly believe that one day the Empire and the Netherlands will become friendly again, so I have been learning the culture and language of the country in the past few years. Waiting for this opportunity to come, now it turns out that all my guesses were correct. Now, on behalf of the Netherlands, I formally apply to the Empire to join the Vienna Entente. I hope Brother Tang will accept it. “
