Chapter 133: Aftermath of the War (Part 2)

When we eat, drink and have fun in the Principal of Hesse, the first thing we don’t like is the masters of the Principal of Hesse. However, these idiots with neither IQ nor military strength can only hide behind the fortifications and look forward to the moon, hoping that the French will come to rescue them. Unfortunately, the French are busy killing the Austrians and have no time to control the Principal of Hesse.

Another person who cares about our movements is the Austrians. Suppose that if our army, which defeated the French army's partial division and ate, drink and have fun in Hessen, appeared on the flank of the French army's main force, the Austrian government and the opposition in Vienna would probably breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, just the second week after we finally enjoyed the victory, Austria sent people over and told us a very creative plan as if in our arms, as if we were holding treasures.

The Austrians believed that the French could not conquer their defense for a long time and their morale was already damaged. If they retreated at this time, the French would be careless. If someone stabbed the French behind the scenes, they would definitely be able to defeat the French. Even if they could not wipe out the early defeat, Austria would have some time to breathe. Based on all the conditions, the Austrians believed that the multinational coalition composed of our Prussian, Rome and German princes at this time played the role of the French behind the scenes. However, if the battle was successful and the Duke of Vendome was defeated, the person in charge of this battle would definitely be the first general in the continent... Austria would also acknowledge that the territory conquered by Prussia belonged to Prussia.

OK, Austria means that if you want to find someone to sneak attack the French, the advantage is that, and your reputation will be higher.

Faced with such strange ideas, I don’t know how Austria came up with it. I also felt that there was a possibility of execution, but at first glance, the poor performance of the Austrians seemed to be understandable. In this regard, I could only express very tactfully that this plan is indeed good to be executed, but in order to be more appropriate, I need to hold a military meeting.

So a military conference was held to discuss whether to improve the Austrian plan, as all military conferences were to be held. The first issue was whether to implement the plan.

Then, the pro-Austrian faction among the Prussians tentatively jumped out three or two little devils to see my words. When I was very ambiguously only bringing the topic to the direction of how to implement this plan, the pro-Austrian faction slowly relaxed its warning, and soon many people who could speak jumped out.

Seeing that others felt that I was really going to do a vote, I jumped out to express their opinions immediately. I paused the military meeting and called Felletlia out of the meeting and went into our private tents. Before hitting her, I had to say something to her.

"What do you think about the rescue of Austria?"

Felletlia said with a little embarrassed: "Tell me emotionally that I have to help my uncle and cousin, but reason tells me that I can't do this."

When I heard this girl say rationality, I laughed. She glanced at me for no reason: "Why are you laughing at?"

"You fool who can even use a kingdom to chase men, and you have the same kind of reason?"

"You laugh at me!"

"Where do I have it!"

"You obviously have it!"

Felletlia stepped on my feet in anger. The pain made me grin, but she seemed to be unhappy and reached out to hit my abdomen. If this hit was done, it would hurt a lot. I quickly stopped me.

Felletlia stared and said, "Let me go!"

"Okay, then you promise I won't hit me."

"Well, don't fight." Felletlia opened her mouth and chewed at my neck.

I gasped: "You really do it!"

Felletlia spoke harder: "Let you laugh at me. If you don't bite you, who will I bite!"

"Didn't I have the second half of my words to finish!" I said quickly.

She really relaxed the strength of her lower teeth and said, "What is the second half?"

"You are actually irrational, but in terms of feelings, you regard me more than your uncle and cousin, right?" I think Felletlia must have received a letter from Austria, but since the end of the battle, she has never mentioned it to me. Maybe she didn't want me to be embarrassed, and felt the warmth on her cheeks. As expected, the girl was shy.

"You have done enough to help your uncle, but they have tried hard to drag you Prussians into the water from the beginning. Not long ago, when they drove you Prussia to the front line, they thought about whether it was difficult for you Prussia? No. This time, the same is true. Their plan is to let us die! Now, although we are many people now, the German princes who came to help would definitely run away halfway through the road if they heard that we were going to attack the French... So, in the decisive battle of the Principal of Hesse, we have done our best to the Austrians. And..."

"I know, I know all of what you said. I'm just a little sad."

"What sad, that's just those Austrians are getting more and more arduous. Do you think we can't help them if we stay here?" I smiled and touched Felletlia's hair. "Didn't you see the army I gathered in Hessen these days? There are at least more than 15,000 people, more than our original troops. The Austrians hurried over when they saw this scene, hoping that I would mobilize the reinforcements to save them. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you the serious business. Felletlia, some of your men are very unbearable!"

"I know, the Austrians reacted so quickly, that they should have gone to inform the news. This plan came out in two weeks, and it was obvious that someone went to write a report to Vienna after we fought against the Hessians."

"Then do you mind if I go to smoke them?"

"Don't mind."

After getting Felletlia's approval, he returned to the military tent again, and the next time he was to find trouble for those pro-Austrian factions.

"Duke Nichie..."

Do you still remember this guy? This is the guy who was the Austrian who spoke specifically in the ten-member Regent Committee. Everyone present knew that this duke was a representative of the pro-Austrian faction and was also a pioneer. He would receive some benefits from the Austrians during the Chinese New Year and the holidays.

"Here." This guy thought I was agreeing to raid the French army, so he raised his beard with a little excitement.

"Do you know how many people we killed and injured in the last two wars?" I asked slowly as I pounded on the table.

Duke Koenigs is a senior official, and I have sent him a report on war damage, but he still can't remember the exact number: "The casualties are just average, but the cavalry is a bit miserable, as if the cavalry had died or injured seven or eight hundred people."

"It seems that the Duke did not remember the exact number, Eugene told the Duke of Koenigs how many people we had lost in Hessen."

Eugene stood up and replied, "Prussian infantry regiment..."

"Tell me the total!" I interrupted Eugene.

"Including the wounded, our army has reduced a total of 6,453 people, of which it is expected to be around 1,000."

After Eugene said that, I asked, "Duke Nichiz, what does it mean to have nearly 7,000 people killed or injured in 50,000 people? That is, one of the five people either died or injured. Just fighting against a partial division, a partial division with a number of less than twice ours, was caused such damage. I wonder if the Duke, this time, if we go south to fight against the French, how much will the death and injury increase? Ten thousand, or 20,000? Or, the entire army is wiped out..."

"What benefits do the Austrians give you to push us, your comrades, to the edge of the cliff at all costs? Or, Lord Koenitz, are you no longer a noble of the Prussian Kingdom, but an Austrian noble? I used to think you were just taking the benefits of the Austrians, and selling some benefits to the Austrians in the principle of still being a Prussian, but now you are more in line with the second point."

I almost said directly that Duke Koenitz was guilty of treason, but even so, the atmosphere of the entire military conference became completely cold.

But it was not aimed at me, but at the Duke of Koenig.

Duke Koenitz did not react slowly: "You, don't get me wrong! I am still a noble who is loyal to the Kingdom of Prussia! Didn't we conquered a lot of land some time ago? If I could gain Austria's recognition, we would have obtained the legal rights to those lands!"

"To put it bluntly, to be honest, if it is just a legitimate right, it doesn't matter whether the Austrians need permission. After all, everyone here thinks that even if Austria can still exist as a country after this battle, how much majesty do they still have? Regarding those conquered lands, do you think the Roman Empire's default is not enough?"

Silence, the entire military tent immediately became silent.

I think even though the Prussians have thought about this possibility countless times, it was the first time they heard my promise about that piece.

But now they are afraid that they will be even more worried. The guarantee of fighting to the death is no less than a country without any majesty. In the end, it is a waste of money but only a waste of money. But the promises and guarantees of the Roman Empire are different. As long as Rome wins in this game, the territory swallowed by Prussia will be a foregone conclusion. In exchange for such benefits, there will naturally be a corresponding price. I am afraid that the Prussians here will think that I am going south.

"Then let's stay here and continue to preserve our strength?" Shi Weilin hesitated for a long time before saying.

"Since the Austrians have proposed it and this matter involves our next strategy, I will take this time to express my arrangement." (To be continued...)
