Chapter 1158: Attack on Prussia
Königsberg.
As Freel II inspected the Prussian army preparing for France, he watched a soldier in a light blue uniform walk past him with a Hank rifle on his back and his hat raised in praise of the soldiers.
On both sides of the road, countless citizens of Königsberg were cheering, sprinkling flowers on the road where the troops passed, shouting the slogan "Long live His Majesty the King".
The leader of today's Prussia, Vere II, is indeed worthy of praise in the eyes of every Prussian.
It was he who sent a mission to obtain a large amount of advanced technology from the Eastern Empire, which allowed Prussia's steam engine technology to surpass the rest of Europe in a short time.
The rigour, patience, and hard work of the Prussians were the icing on the cake for Prussian industry, and the quality of their industrial products rose over the years, and the Hank rifles carried by the soldiers were the fruits of Prussian industrial progress.
This imitation of the Eagle breech-loading rifle was modified by Prussian craftsmen to become a fire-loading rifle similar to the Han rifle, although the firing pin technology was not mature enough, but the scheme of each soldier carrying a replacement firing pin solved the problem of easy damage to the firing pin.
In addition to leading Prussia's industrial development, Ferrer II succeeded in annexing the German Confederation scattered along the European Strip with the help of the British and French, expanding Prussia's territory fivefold, and after annexing the lands on the western side of Poland, Prussia is now the size of France.
It is also a matter of pride that the second son of Ferre II is now the husband of Queen Victoria, and there is no doubt that only a strong country can favor the Queen.
Schroeder stood at the side of Ferley II, and unlike Ferley II's elation, he was a little worried.
He had been to the Eastern Empire, had seen for himself the prosperity and power of that country, and when the two countries were in close contact, they had only a little bit of the surface of the empire that allowed Prussia to become a European power.
It can be said that today's Prussia was created by the Eastern Empire.
It was only since Ferre II approved his marriage to the Queen of England that relations between the two countries took a sharp turn for the worse, and now they have long since fallen to a freezing point.
He had advised Friel II to be cautious, but Friel II, who was blinded by his immediate interests, finally agreed to the Anglo-French reconciliation and reneged on the Empire's covenant at the cost of annexing the German Confederation.
"Schroeder, why do you have this expression? Isn't our Prussian army strong enough? Feline II asked.
Schroeder looked at the king with a red face and said: "Compared with Europe, it is indeed very powerful, but in the face of the Chinese Empire, it seems that it is still a lot behind." “
Friel II was tall, square-headed, broad-mouthed, and had a strong voice, and he said with some displeasure: "Enough Schroeder, since you came back, you have never approved of my idea, the Chinese Empire in your mouth now is supporting that damned Henry, and now he is our enemy." ”
"Your Majesty, the reason why this is so is because we Prussia chose to betray, and now they are ready to punish us." Schroeder impulsively said: "Britain is finished, and then it will be Prussia's turn." “
Ferre II became more and more impatient, he never thought that he had done anything wrong, and he said: "Schroeder, you are too naïve, there has never been a real alliance in the House of Nations, and the Eastern Empire was still very weak at that time, and he needs us to contain the English and French armies in Europe, and I should not have some practical benefits to challenge England and France at the risk of Prussia's destruction?" “
After a pause, he continued: "Prussia is a small country, and it is the desire of every Prussian to merge the German Confederation and expand its territory, and this can only be done by England and France in a short time, and the price we pay is to offend the Eastern Empire, both of which I do for the benefit of Prussia. “
Schroeder opened his mouth and sighed, and he said, "Your Majesty's decision may be correct, but I think that long-term cooperation with the empire is the long-term benefit. ”
"No, haven't you noticed it yet? How similar is the current rapidly expanding empire to Britain today, he will not allow Prussia to be strong enough to dominate Europe, which is where the regional interests of the world powers lie. Fere II said.
After cooperating with the Chinese Empire, he had been recuperating in Prussia, developing industry with all his might, and recuperating for nearly ten years, and now the power accumulated within Prussia finally gave him the ability to carry out his ambitions.
Schroeder looked at the crazy Ferley II, he thought for a moment and closed his mouth, like every king, Ferley II had an almost insane quest for the homeland.
Having accumulated great strength, Veret II already had more ideas.
This time he agreed to Vidomia's lobbying, which seemed to be an obstacle to the marriage between the two countries, but in fact it was for the expansion of Prussia.
With the cooperation of Tsarist Russia, Austria, Poland, an Eastern European power, perished.
He knew that the next target of Ferre II was France.
While the two men were talking, Pres, the intelligence officer of Ferre II, hurried up to them and whispered a word in his ear.
"What! The army of Tsarist Russia retreated! Fere II couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, they retreated in a hurry, and it is said that the troops of the Eastern Empire occupied the three fortresses of Yelets in Tsarist Russia." Pleles said.
Ferer II was shocked when he heard this, and he said: "Are you sure it's Yelets?" ”
"You can't be wrong, all three fortresses of Tsarist Russia defending the Ottoman Empire were breached in five days." Pleus emphasized again.
"What's going on in Austria right now?" Fere II asked.
"Their army is still deployed on the French border, nothing has changed."
Freer II breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "In that case, there is no problem, we and Austria can still defeat Henry with the withdrawal of Tsarist Russia, and there is one less person to share the benefits." ”
Pleus worried: "Now this Henry has gathered 300,000 troops, and the elite army is equipped with all the advanced firearms provided by the Eastern Empire, and there is also plenty of food, grass and materials, even if we can win, I am afraid the loss will not be small." ”
"That's why we have to do it now, once Henry takes control of all of France, war will break out on our Prussian soil, do you want to see French soldiers appear on Prussian territory?"
"Of course not." Pullers said in a loud voice.
"That's right, go back and do your intelligence work well, we Prussia must fight this war, this is the best time for Prussia to dominate Europe." There seemed to be a fire burning in the eyes of Ferre II.
