Chapter 1930: Rupture

~7 min read 1,259 words

Prussia.

After the Longyan Unit chose to watch from the sidelines, Britain also made a similar decision, weakening the intensity of its aid to Prussia.

Prussia, which was already not wealthy, found itself in even worse straits.

However, fortunately, the wealthiest region on the European continent, Xilixi.

After being reoccupied by Austria, it returned to the embrace of Prussia.

This is Prussia's most important source of economy.

Now Frederick II, having no other choice, can only lead the Puluosi Budui on an eastern expedition himself.

At this time, the Aode River basin.

Frederick II's plan failed; they isolated the Russian Army, but did not wipe out the two Austrian military forces.

However, Frederick II's surprise attack caused the Austrian forces responsible for supplies to lose their supply capability.

General Hadikesi, who was supposed to obtain supplies on the river, also lost his way in the jungle because he was dodging the surprise attack of the Puluosi Budui.

Because of their lack of familiarity with the terrain, the swamps and Wolf Pack in the jungle became their trouble.

Not only did he lose the supplies on the river, but he also lost more than two thousand soldiers because of the Wolf Pack.

And the other unit.

The unit led by the Austrian General Laoxi chose to retreat after encountering an attack from Frederick II.

When they gathered again, the supply column of the unit had already been lost.

They were operating together with the Russian Army.

When they encountered the attack, the Russian Army was not far from their position; General Laoxi believed that the Russian Army was simply refusing to save them.

But on the other side, the Russian Army.

Naleishi also had many opinions about Laoxi.

He could not understand the Austrian language, and the interpreter he brought along was also a half-baked amateur; the communication between the two had great obstacles.

This led directly to them having major disagreements.

And at this time, Naleishi learned that Austria had lost all the supply columns that originally belonged to them.

He was even more furious.

"These Germany countries, why are they all so annoying!"

Naleishi considered himself to have a bad temper, but he was not someone who would get angry over small matters.

But toward the Austrian forces commanded by General Laoxi and General Hadikesi, he was now extremely annoyed.

In his eyes, the Austrian forces commanded by the two did not take this war seriously at all.

A Hungarian Noble general actually refused to give up his own interests in Xilixi and disregarded the overall situation to attack Xilixi.

And the other Austrian general, Laoxi, simply did not realize that this was fighting a war.

The most important thing in war is supplies; without supplies, how could the soldiers have any combat effectiveness?

Countless war experiences in history were telling them the importance of supplies.

But they were as if they knew nothing about it.

But for the sake of the overall situation, Naleishi still endured it.

"Calculate the amount of supplies we have left; from now on, implement a rationing system for meals to reduce unnecessary consumption."

Naleishi issued the order.

Without the Austrian supply column, they had to hold out until the next place to obtain replenishment.

And now they still had a long way to go.

In such a dangerous jungle, soldiers could not lose their combat effectiveness.

Naleishi thought about accelerating the marching speed.

And this situation did not last for many days.

General Laoxi, with a sallow complexion, had to bring his interpreter to ask Naleishi for some supplies.

After losing the supply column, the terrible system caused their remaining supplies to be almost consumed as well.

Seeing that his own soldiers were already too hungry to march.

General Laoxi had no choice but to try to find General Naleishi to ask for some supplies.

General Laoxi originally did not want to come.

A very deep contradictory relationship already existed between him and Naleishi.

But the current situation forced him to continue to lower his pride and ask Naleishi to share some supplies with them.

Regarding General Laoxi's request, Naleishi refused without any surprise.

The reason was very simple.

Now the supplies of their Russian Army were also not enough.

If they shared them with the Austrian forces, the Russian Army would also have to drink the Northwest wind.

This undoubtedly further intensified the contradictory relationship between the two units.

And at this time, Frederick II, whose plan had failed, was not discouraged.

To him, accepting failure now was as simple as eating and drinking water.

The key lay in the rectification after the failure.

Before receiving aid from the Longyan Unit, Frederick II encountered the siege of almost all European countries.

Under the huge gap in resident population and troop strength.

Even if Frederick II's command level was highly superb, there was no way to make up for such a gap.

It was precisely at that time that Frederick II became an expert on defeated troops.

Having already become an expert in handling such issues, Frederick II adopted a method of compartmentalization to reorganize the troops once again.

This reduced the spread of defeatist sentiment.

It restored morale.

Perhaps it was because the first two kings of Prussia, Frederick I and William I, had already transformed Prussia into a militaristic state.

This was their achievement, but it was also Prussia's misfortune.

Under their bellicose policies, Prussia did indeed become exceptionally powerful in their era.

They established extremely strict regulations.

Under such regulations, every soldier in the Puluosi Budui only needed seventy-five steps to cover a distance of fifty meters; this was a very precise figure.

In the era of the flintlock, when repeating muskets had not yet appeared.

At that time, the powerful armies of Europe could fire three times in one minute, but after the reforms of the two kings, their Musket Team was divided into three ranks.

Each time the front rank finished firing, they could quickly move to the back, and the rear rank would step up to fire rapidly, reducing the time gap for reloading.

This was a very advanced combat strategy, but the most powerful troops were bought with cruel military discipline.

For these Prussian soldiers, the terror of life and death on the battlefield was not as great as the terror of taking a wrong step.

At this time, Frederick II would always thank his father and his grandfather for leaving him such a powerful army.

Even after experiencing defeat, their morale could recover very quickly.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, France learned that Prussia was once again facing war.

Under the instructions of Louis XV, the French army decided to attack Prussia.

This sparked a large amount of opposition within the country; it was not that they thought there was anything wrong with attacking Prussia, but rather that their French overseas colonies were currently...

... all mired in fighting against Longyan and Britain.

It was already unrealistic for them to think about maintaining the European mainland battlefield when those colonies could not even be defended.

Speaking of which, it was already very unrealistic.

But this time, cooperating with them were forces under the control of the Habsburg Dynasty, such as Italy.

With the cooperation of these countries, the domestic opposition was finally suppressed.

Now, without the aid of Longyan and Britain, Prussia was simply easy pickings for the French army!
