Chapter 38 Breaking News

The Xia Palace of Vienna discussed the time of the state in the Summer Palace of Liono III and the Minister of the Palm Seal.

The Minister of the Palm Seal informed him that the bankers vaguely resigned in the borrowing of Habsburg. The expression of Liono III was completely collapsed.

If it was just a normal borrowing problem, Liono III didn't have to worry about it, but the key was that the Olympic army defeated.

The 17500 army was pinched by the Swedish king ** 20,000 in New Mark, and the Olympic army was defeated!

The "Red Kings" Baden Badden Fan Hou William, who had high hopes, was defeated!

When Liono III heard the news for the first time, he couldn't believe it was true. As a king, he keenly noticed the change of the enemy.

Has 20,000 people?

It must be Baden Baden Fan Hou, do you want to make a joke, right?

Liono III quickly ignited hope again, and it must be William Ludwig joking with him. How could the famous "Red King" be defeated? Besides, the 17500 people under his hand are Habbu.

The spiritual elite of Sortburg must be a victory!

However, after the Minister of Palm confirmed the information in the letter, the hope of Liono III was broken.

The Swedes hidden more than 7,000 infantry in the Baltic Sea. They lost a small loser on the Okine River in New Mark and withdrew from Prussia. William Ludwig didn't know that there was fraud, and followed the defeat to the army.

New Mark, 150 kilometers away from Berlin, the hidden 7000 Swedes appeared at this time, and cut off the Olympic retreat. And the Swedish in front of the army, the Prussian coalition no longer retreated, but welcomed it. The two sides were on.

A small town named Tomim launched a conflict. When the Olympic army attacked the enemy front line, the 7000 Swedish king was raid behind.

The defense line broke out, but it still lost more than 2,000 people on the plains near the town of Tomim. But at this time, the two sides were basically evenly matched.

The comparison of military power is almost 15,000 people than 18,000 people, and the loss is almost one to one.

The Swedish army chased the Olympic army around the way for nearly ten days. Several seals blocked the Olympic forces to move to Berlin and jump to Saxon to get rid of the chase. Finally, the two sides started a decisive battle at the place 30 kilometers of Outukukou.

This time, the Olympic army started war towards the Swedish army, because the Olympic army had to break through the siege and seize the crossing channel. Back to Siricia.

In this battle, the Prussian turtles shrank behind the Swedish army only as the last straw of the Olympic army in the last hour of the battle. But even so, the 15,000 Olympic army was not as bad as the Swedish army with a disadvantage of the number of quantities in the number

In less than an hour, the Olympic army fell into a hard battle. The two hours later. William Lutwich used all the reserve teams, so in the 4th hour, Prussians were put into the battlefield.

The army was defeated. William Lutwig was injured, the cannon was damaged, and the cavalry was covered.

Nowadays, there are less than 4,000 residual Olympic forces in the Breslars in Westricia. Everyone is injured. More than 8,000 people have been killed or captured.

What's even worse is that the Swedes are approaching the city. Their number is about 15,000.

Silesia was in urgent need of an army to relieve the siege, and Wilhelm Ludwig hoped that Leopold III would send troops as soon as possible.

Leopold III was very aware of the importance of Silesia. It was the barrier to Bohemia, the core territory of Habsburg, and the communication line connecting Polish territory. If Breslau was captured, Bohemia would be left without cover.

Not to mention the land was exposed to the enemy. Poland's territory became an isolated enclave. Leopold III could tolerate Silesia being reduced to ruins, but he could not tolerate the destruction of Bohemia. The loss of Bohemia

Mia's Habsburg is like an eagle that has lost its wings. It cannot fly if it wants to.

But it was not easy to gather the troops to lift the siege of Breslau.

Austria does not have many troops that can fight. Poland maintains 30,000 troops, and the mainland has 60,000. The 30,000 troops facing the Romans in the east cannot be moved. But now more than 17,000 troops are given to Baden-Baden

The vassals have messed up, and there are still more than 10,000 people who want to stay in Vienna to maintain their rule. Naturally, they cannot be sent out. Then Austria has no troops that can fight. Do they need to send out temporarily recruited troops like Saxony?

Leopold III had no choice, so he issued a nationwide order to recruit 40,000 people. He could only hope that the huge number of the new Austrian army would scare off the Swedes.

Nobles from all over the country responded one after another. In the more than 20 days since the defeat of the Marquis of Baden, the nobles provided more than 4,000 troops. Leopold III himself recruited a group of troops, raising the strength to 10,000. It is expected that the troops will be able to fight in two days.

Months later, he went to Silesia to relieve the crisis in Breslau.

So what should I do in these two months?

His ministers proposed that the troops besieging Saxony should be withdrawn, but the two sides were facing each other in Dresden. It would not be good to withdraw hastily. Now they have broken the relationship with the Saxons. If Dresden is relieved, what will happen to the wave?

Simia will still be attacked. You know, the main force of the enemy's army in Saxony is more than 20,000 people!

In the end, the Military Council decided that it was best to maintain the status quo in Dresden, Saxony, and not fight if possible. With Prussia helping to hold off the enemy and consume the Prussians' strength. The Austrian Naples army transferred 10,000 troops, and finally waited until

After the Austrian army lifted the siege of Silesia, they then marched from Breslau to Berlin.

While everyone is still worried about Dresden in Saxony, a more worrying problem has arisen. Habsburg has no money. Although it has not gone bankrupt, its income is a far cry from the expenditures for this year's war.

Don't.

Well, if we ran out of money in previous years, we would either mint more coins, or go to bankers for loans. Anyway, there are so many bankers in Germany and Italy. Originally, Leopold III didn’t pay much attention to it, but this time, his loan

They were rejected. Both the Germans and Italians said that they would first pay back the money they owed before. If they didn't pay back, they would exchange preferential treatment or mineral privileges for the loan.

The bankers' statements were a naked threat, and Leopold III undoubtedly hated those hateful bankers with gritted teeth.

But now the situation of the Austrians is not just as simple as supporting the Prussian prince to ascend to power. The French are ready to make a move. The Bavarians are not willing to be lonely. If the rebels in Dresden win, then what can Habsburg do to protect Percy?

Once Mia and Bohemia are lost, all of Vienna will be exposed to the enemy.

How could a well-planned plan to support the Prussian prince ascend to power and then control Prussia to dominate the Nordic plains end up in such a mess?

"Your Majesty, there is actually something I have to say."

"speak."

"Why don't we ask for help from the Romans? We are on the same side and they will not want us to fail."

Leopold III's face was filled with joy and he looked at the Chancellor of Finance: "Go handle this matter as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

It is better to give preferential treatment to Rome's trade terms and cooperate with the Romans to block some trade channels than to give domestic mineral privileges and procurement preferential treatment to bankers. The former can allow the two forces to prosper and benefit together, while the latter will only make Harbin

Busburg's sources of income were increasingly scarce.

"It's just your Majesty, the Romans were very dissatisfied because their son Caesar was slandered in Vienna some time ago..." the Lord Privy Seal reminded Leopold III tactfully.

Leopold III held his head with a headache. Regarding that rumor, he was not unaware of such an incident. It seemed that after the banquet, his daughter whispered a few slanderous words to the female companion next to her.

The Romans said he was lustful and disgusting, but he didn't expect that what happened next would be like this: "Which bastard started such rumors in the summer palace? Minister of Justice, it's up to you. Catch them. And then. Put those people away."

Hang yourself bastards! Tell those Romans that this is a French conspiracy."

The Austrians lowered their stance towards the Romans enough and made concessions on various trade terms and agreements. The Romans agreed to provide a property loan equivalent to 30 million talers, but on one point, the two sides still had differences.

Controversial. That was the front line of two Roman legions with more than 12,000 men passing through Austria and entering the battlefield.

Austrians absolutely cannot accept this.

Seeing that the two sides were about to reach a stalemate, good news came from the front line.

The Austrian army teamed up with two other allies to defeat the Prussian rebel Otto's party under the city of Dresden. They killed 2,000 enemies and captured 2,000. The remaining enemy troops collapsed. The Austrian army itself suffered only more than 500 casualties. This was a great victory.

!

How is this done?

The Austrians didn't know. They didn't want to find out. Anyway, the big stone that was pressing down on the Austrians' heads was gone. Just when the Summer Palace palace was cheering and elated, and preparing for another group party, there was another message from the front line.

Very exciting news.

A total of more than 13,000 Prussian, Hessian mercenaries, and Swedes surrendered to the coalition forces at the confluence of the Elbe and Oder tributaries! The people in Vienna did not react for a while. They all only knew that the Austrian army had won again.

A victory. But soon, with the analysis of insightful people, the Austrians in Vienna immediately realized what this victory meant, and the enemy's main force was completely wiped out!

Holy shit, how did you do this?

The Austrians don't know, and they don't want to figure it out. Anyway, just win!

And the Austrian finance minister, who pretended to be a grandson in front of the Romans, could finally feel proud!

The enemy's main force is gone, so why do we still need money to arm the army?

What?

What about the agreement negotiated earlier? Never mind it, our Austrian army has won two battles in a row anyway, who will buy the battles of your Romans? Want the same preferential treatment agreement? Just dream.

However, the more explosive news is still behind.

Rome's Thirty -Three Spartan Corps occupied Berlin!

The Austrians were shocked on the spot. Should we occupy Berlin in the Austrian people?

The layman watched the fun, and the insiders looked at the goal. Those Austrian generals were dumbfounded. Is this Berlin's capture too fast?
Chapter completed!
