"Are you really going to war?"

Moltke asked in a deep voice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Must go to war! The revenge of the Elbe Legion must be avenged by the Elbe Legion! ”

Bittenfeldt said fiercely.

"Well, then, give the order, draw the strength of a brigade from the 1st Army Corps, and the strength of a corps from the 2nd Corps, all of them will be incorporated into the Elbe Corps, and the large army will rest for a day, and all of them will force their way across the Elbe and advance in the direction of Vienna! Ten days, the Kingdom of Austria must be pressed to surrender! ”

Moltke shouted.

"Yes!"

The two of them agreed, and began to prepare for further marches.

Today, the Kingdom of Austria has no strength to fight back under the successive heavy blows, and the army is constantly retreating in the direction of Vienna.

Vienna, Royal Palace.

King Joseph I completely lost the arrogance of the beginning, Joseph I always thought that the strength of the Kingdom of Austria was far above the Kingdom of Prussia, especially in the case of allies far more than Prussia, you must know that the entire German Confederation, at least two-thirds of the states and free cities are supporting Austria, I didn't expect that so quickly let the Prussian army be swept away, three fronts, only the southern front won the victory, however, it was also the most irrelevant victory, The Italians were too useless in the final analysis, not that Austria was too strong.

But what is it like now? In no more than five days, Prussia will be in the city!

"Daniel, you say, what should we do now?"

Joseph I asked bitterly.

Prime Minister Daniel said helplessly: "Your Majesty, there is no other good way now, the remaining troops are absolutely unable to stop the Prussians, and the only way to do this is peace talks." ”

"Peace talks?"

Joseph said abruptly: "But now that we have been defeated one after another and forced peace talks, we have not been severely suppressed by Prussia?" ”

Actually, where is it so simple to suppress? Now Prussia wants to unite the whole of Austria into Germany and establish a huge unified German Empire, which is the ambition of Wilhelm I!

"Then please move the French Empire and the English Empire to intervene, and the minister thinks that the French Empire does not want a power to be born on the European continent that can compete with him! I think the Lancey Empire will do its best to help! ”

"Okay, then immediately send an urgent telegram to His Majesty Emperor Napoleon III of the French Empire, asking for help!"

Joseph said urgently.

Telegram after telegram from Vienna to the great powers of the European continent was the only chance, the only chance to save Austria's fate!

However, Moltke and Bismarck had no intention of giving Austria such a chance!

In just a few days, Moltke crossed the Elbe River with four legions and pointed his troops straight at Vienna, four legions, more than a dozen corps, adding up to more than 200,000 men!

Albelecht fought and retreated along the way, and there was no strength to organize the Prussian army, especially the Elbe Army, which had gone crazy, and now Bittenfeldt only saw the Austrian Allied troops, and went up like a mad tiger, without the slightest scruples, and did not even leave the Austrian Allied Army with a chance to surrender!

Albelecht hastily retreated into the city of Vienna, Moltke even surrounded Vienna, and began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment towards Vienna with an order, hundreds of artillery launched an attack at the same time, and the whole Vienna was plunged into a sea of fire!

Now the Austrian coalition forces have been completely frightened, and the shells are not fatal, and the Austrian coalition forces do not even dare to show their heads, for fear that the shells or bullets will fall on their heads and take away their lives!

If you want to keep Vienna alive, that's impossible!

Yes, now the telegram has been sent, and the emperor of the French Empire has also sent a request for mediation to the Kingdom of Prussia for the first time, trying to participate in the mediation, and even Napoleon III has begun to send elite troops to the Franco-Prussian border in order to be able to deter the Kingdom of Prussia.

However, even if it is mediated in time, it will take time, not to mention anything else, now Moltke's soldiers are in the city, far away in Vienna, but Napoleon III's telegram has been sent to Berlin, even if Wilhelm I agrees to mediate, it will take some time to reach Vienna!

This is also the reason why Moltke constantly launched attacks to force the Kingdom of Vienna to surrender, and it was necessary to break through Vienna before the will of His Majesty Wilhelm I arrived, or let the Kingdom of Austria surrender!

The Prussian army lasted from day to night, and the artillery never stopped, and in a day and a night, nearly 20,000 shells were fired at Vienna, which blew Vienna into ruins!

I can't hold it anymore, and if I hold on any longer, I'm afraid that Vienna will be razed to the ground by the Prussian army!

Under the baptism of artillery fire, Joseph I had to bow his arrogant head, raise the white flag towards the army of Moltke and Bismarck, surrender, defeat and surrender!

The Prussian soldiers took Vienna without blood, and all the Austrian troops surrendered, completely losing the will to resist.

The occupation of Vienna was not the end, Moltke did not pause at all, ordering the First Army and the Elbe Army to control Vienna, and he led the Second Army and the Third Army to continue to march in the direction of Hungary.

The whole of Europe was shaken, and no one could have imagined that the Kingdom of Austria would be so vulnerable that in just a month and a half, Vienna was occupied by Prussia, and now almost all of Austria is in the hands of the Prussians!

"No, Prussia must not be allowed to occupy the entire German Confederation!"

Napoleon III roared angrily, and once again issued a request to William I to stop the war, not only that, but the troops in France were transferred more frequently, and the troops of three divisions had already been sent to the Franco-Prussian border.

The French Empire could not sit still, and even the British began to express serious concerns about the war on the main road, that is, Prussia could win, and even annex some small states to complete the unification of Prussia, but it was absolutely impossible to annex Austria and Hungary, if the two huge kingdoms were annexed, then the future rise of Germany would be unstoppable! No one wants to face a mighty German Empire!

The situation in Europe is even more unpredictable, and Prussia is already sitting on a crater!
