Chapter 1344: The Russian Expeditionary Army

~7 min read 1,345 words

Russian Expeditionary Army.

They have already reached the borders of Poland, and the new Great General of the Expeditionary Force is General Boerniefu from the Conservative Faction of Tsarist Russia.

Seeing the city of Poland, Boerniefu gave a cold smile; this would be the battle that made his name.

When Peter I was on the throne, the generals of their Conservative Faction had no chance to get ahead, and Boerniefu was just a nobody of no reputation.

"Charge!"

Although the Polish army put up a desperate resistance, they had not undergone the baptism of the Industrial Revolution, and the army was still too weak.

Their country still maintains a ruling model of Serfdom to this day; backwardness is inevitable.

Every charge by Tsarist Russia would cause heavy damage to the Polish army.

In less than a day, Tsarist Russia used its powerful military force to prove once again its status as the hegemon of the land.

The important border town of Poland fell.

The name of Boerniefu also resounded throughout Europe following this event.

They all knew that Poland, this backward country of Serfdom, would definitely be defeated, but they did not expect it to be so fast.

After Frederick II received this news in Prussia, he sighed and leaned back powerlessly.

Looking at the map of Europe hanging on the wall, Poland borders Prussia.

It is one of the few defensive lines that does not require much force to defend, but now, Tsarist Russia has already entered Poland.

He knows the situation of the Polish government and their army; a country of Serfdom that has not experienced the Industrial Revolution.

With backward weapons, it is impossible to block Tsarist Russia, this shadow that once loomed over Europe.

Tsarist Russia was defeated by Longyan, but it still retains its remaining might, and its national strength is still considered strong.

If Poland completely falls, then the day Tsarist Russia attacks and Prussia perishes will not be far off.

"Sigh, what about Longyan? What is the situation over there?"

His Strategist was silent; ever since the Longyan army entered Europe, the entire army seemed to have vanished into thin air, and there has been no news at all.

He kneaded the document in his hand, seeing Frederick II suddenly look as if he had aged more than ten years.

He was thinking about how to tell him this intelligence.

"If there is anything, just say it. How much worse can it get now?" Frederick II glanced at him and said indifferently.

The Strategist was stunned, and finally said: "Great Emperor, there is no news of Longyan, but according to the latest intelligence, the Ottoman Empire also seems to have sent troops to Poland."

Frederick II heard this and frowned; the Ottoman sent troops?

According to Frederick II's understanding, the monarch of the Ottoman Empire, Hamid, is an ambitious monarch, ever since the war in Europe began.

He had not announced his participation in the war, so why is he suddenly marching into Poland now?

Could it be that he wants to occupy Poland and then march into Western Europe?

As soon as this thought emerged, Frederick II immediately denied his own idea; the Ottoman and Austria are also mortal enemies.

I heard that this man Hamid greatly admires the Longyan Chief Minister Liu Zheng, could it be...

Frederick II suddenly thought of a certain possibility, his eyes burning, just like a drowning person seeing a lifeline, wanting to grasp it tightly!

"Pass my order, attack Poland with all our might; we must also take a bite of this piece of fat meat that is Poland!"

Poland is still under Serfdom, and there are a large amount of resources that have not been developed.

"Great Emperor, we are currently surrounded by enemies on all sides; if we give up resistance now, then large swathes of territory will be occupied by the enemy."

The Strategist frowned; he knew Frederick II is sometimes a madman.

But he is also a man of great strategy, yet the decision made at this moment is completely incomprehensible to the Strategist.

Prussia is already in a precarious situation now; if they divert troops to attack Poland, I fear they will lose most of Prussia's territory.

"It doesn't matter; if it is occupied now, we will occupy it back sooner or later."

"We must fight for Poland,

and the speed must be fast!" Frederick II stood up immediately, his eyes burning as he looked at this land of Poland.

Two forces have already begun to fight.

The Russian Expeditionary Army and the Ottoman Expeditionary Force.

If he has not guessed wrong, the Ottoman army was instructed by Liu Zheng to block the Tsarist Russian offensive.

As long as their Prussia joins forces with the Ottoman army, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.

"This..." The Strategist had not guessed this connection, but still followed Frederick II's wishes and went to the Upper House to issue the order.

That day, under the proposal of Frederick II, Prussia attacked Poland.

This news also quickly spread throughout Europe.

The situation further deteriorated; France and Britain are fighting for maritime hegemony, the first battle has already been fought in America, and as a result, they suffered a secret loss; Louis XV is preparing to launch the next round of war against Britain in Egypt.

On the European continent, it had been frighteningly calm before this.

Ever since the Longyan army entered Austria, Teresa had not issued any further orders.

Unexpectedly, Prussia, Tsarist Russia, and the Ottoman suddenly marched into Poland.

The war situation on the European continent has unfolded a new round, but as the main participant in this war.

Austria has fallen into an unusual calm.

And in France, in the castle of Louis XV, he is looking at the map, thinking about how to launch a retaliation against Britain from Egypt.

"Pass my order down, let the Egyptian army march into the Colonial Area of Britain and take back the Nile River."

The Nile River is of extraordinary significance to Egypt; it runs through the entire Egypt and is the only long-flowing river in this arid desert region.

Britain colonizing Egypt means holding the Nile River firmly in its own hands.

As long as the Nile River is obtained by France, the entire Egypt will be controlled by him.

However, at this moment, he had no inkling that an army was already lying in ambush in the French colony in Egypt, ready at any moment to launch a surprise attack.

Yellow sand stretched endlessly; they had been hiding in the desert oasis for a long time.

From far away, Jiang Xuan looked through a Telescope invented by Longyan and saw that the majority of the army in the French Colonial Area had poured out in full force.

"Nashadier, what is going on with that group of French? They don't usually launch large-scale sorties, so why are they suddenly attacking now?"

Nashadier did not know either; this was a rather important city for the French in Egypt, a port city on the Mediterranean Sea.

If this place were to be occupied by others, half of the French gateway into Egypt would be lost.

"Never mind that. We haven't exposed our tracks; now is the best time to occupy this city."

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment, and the two of them were in immediate agreement.

The ambushing army immediately attacked the French colonial port.

War was imminent; because the French army had moved out, the remaining garrison was very weak, and furthermore, their preparations could not be compared to those of Longyan at all.

They were defeated very quickly.

This city was occupied by Jiang Xuan and Nashadier with ease.

When Jiang Xuan rushed into the City Lord Mansion, he saw an order from Louis XV on the table and revealed a meaningful smile.

"Nashadier, we have Louis XV of the French to thank for our victory in this war; if he hadn't ordered an attack on the British Colonial Area, we couldn't have won so easily."
