Chapter 1169: New Members
Paris.
Henry angrily smashed a porcelain vase from the Empire.
The news of the defeat of Vaduz spread like wings from the Austrian front, which made the newly unified French panic.
After successive civil wars, wars against Prussia and Austria, France was in dire straits, and its production was heavily damaged.
In the past, with the war materials supported by the Empire, Henry's life could go on, but after the Empire stopped supplying, Henry's life suddenly became sad, and this was one of the reasons why he launched the invasion war.
After all, the plundering of materials came more quickly than production, and the reason why the empire occupied their colonies, they could not plunder the colonies now, but only plunder the European countries.
But now that his plundering plan has failed, and the 70,000 French elite has been defeated, he has lost his last bargaining chips.
Now there are only two paths in front of him, either risk all-out war, or retract his head to 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 whole people, France must arm itself against the invasion of the Empire." After a brief hesitation, the order was given.
After thinking about it, he chose the latter, and it was clear that he could not defeat the Austrian army, which had the support of the Empire, so he could only recuperate and look for opportunities.
However, he was afraid of retaliation from Austria, so he could only scare the enemy by striking a fighting posture like a rooster with a fur.
The French nouveau riche panicked, and the name of the empire haunted them like a nightmare.
At the same time, Freer II of Königsberg had received word from Moster that the Imperial army was attacking like lightning, and before anyone could react, an Imperial army had taken possession and burned the supplies.
After doing this, the Imperial army also used running machinery to carry soldiers around attacking their transport wagons, and the supply lines were severely damaged.
And then, and that's not all, having ruined the Prussian supplies, this army attacked the Prussian army in Prague from behind.
The Prussian front, which had been caught off guard, was constantly torn apart, his army was defeated, and the situation on the battlefield was completely reversed.
"Your Majesty, now we must defend the Prussian lands, and with the help of the Imperial soldiers, the Austrian army may well attack us with a vengeance." A general was worried.
Hearing this, Schroeder said: "You have also seen the strength of the imperial army, do you think you can defend against them?" I thought that the most important thing now was to negotiate with the Reich to put an end to the attack on Austria. “
In the past, Ferrer II would have laughed at Schroeder's words, but now the truth tells him that he underestimated the power of the empire, and this cost him dearly.
"In any case, we must not guarantee that Prussia will not be attacked, and now mobilize every Prussian." Ferre II made almost the same determination as Henry.
Like Henry, he wanted to use this trick to deter the Empire and Austria from attacking.
After a pause, he said to Schroeder: "Of course, I will also consider negotiations." ”
Having made a difficult decision, Fere II suddenly seemed to age a lot, and he understood that his ambitions were doomed to be unattainable by the interference of the Empire.
In contrast to the situation in France and Prussia, Austria fell into a carnival, and they followed the Imperial army to regain the occupied cities one by one.
The three warring parties quickly retreated to their original borders.
At the same time, news from France and Prussia kept coming, and Ye Qingyun and Lu Jun also arrived in Vienna at this time.
"Commander Ye, Division Commander Lu, now France and Prussia are mobilizing, and it seems that they are preparing to greatly expand their troops." Franz relayed the information he had received to the duo.
"Are they going to sleep again? Are they crazy? Obiena felt a little incredible.
Ye Qingyun and Lu Jun didn't care, Ye Qingyun said: "A dog that bites you is beaten away by you, and when you pick up a stick and approach him, he will definitely grin and scare you, now France."
It was the same with Prussia, they had lost a lot of their elite in this war, and they certainly didn't want to continue fighting, but at the same time they were afraid that we would retaliate. “
Franz wanted to fight back, but Austria suffered a lot of trauma this time, he said: "This war has greatly damaged the vitality of the three countries, and Austria will not be able to continue to support the next war, I hope that this time the empire can come forward to coordinate and officially end this war." ”
"I understand what Your Majesty means, now that we have fulfilled the content of the agreement and defeated the enemy together, Your Majesty will naturally decide the rest." Ye Qingyun said.
This time the Empire's involvement in the war in Europe was not too deep, after all, if he continued to fight France, his troops would not be enough.
Moreover, the purpose of the war was to promote the Entente, and the war was to be stopped, and the Reich also needed France and Prussia to play the role of European villains, so that other countries would fall into the arms of the Reich.
As for whether to clean up these two countries in the future, it will have to wait until the army of the empire is further mechanized and equipped with bombers.
By that time, the battlefield mortality rate of the Imperial soldiers would be even lower.
Expressing his thoughts, Ye Qingyun stopped talking, and Franz became happy, he was now thinking about the next trade with the empire to make Austria strong again.
At the same time as the War of the Three Kingdoms, other European countries were watching the war in which the empire was involved.
After witnessing the invincibility of the Empire in the European theater, the Netherlands was the first to send an envoy to Vienna.
"Brother Tang, it's been a long time." Meeting Tang Wenjie in Vienna, Rhodes, dressed in imperial service, spoke in standard imperial Chinese.
Tang Wenjie was full of spring breeze, and when the fighting in the European theater stopped for a while, he came to Vienna to wait for the rabbit, because he knew that there would definitely be countries that could not resist the temptation to join the Vienna Entente.
"Rod, you're looking more and more like an empire now." Tang Wenjie looked at Rod, who was almost the same as the Imperial in addition to his appearance, and sighed.
Rhodes said: "Since returning to the Netherlands, there has not been a day when I no longer miss the life of the Empire, and I firmly believe that one day the Empire and the Netherlands will be friendly again, so I have been learning the culture and language of the ** country for the past few years, waiting for this opportunity to come, and now it has been proved that my conjectures are correct, and now on behalf of the Netherlands, I officially apply to the Empire to join the Vienna Entente, and I hope that Brother Tang will accept it." “
