"The purpose of our war for the Prussians is not to use Prussia to suppress Russia and balance the power of the three northeastern European countries, but to conquer Prussia for the Austrians, and then establish a port and garrison in Prussia?" Me

Another possibility came to mind about Cheap Daddy's layout in Prussia, "If we are unable to break through the blockade of the French fleet in the Mediterranean, the legions in Prussia can use Prussia as a springboard to march to France and launch a surprise attack?"

"

"springboard?"

Alexander didn't seem to understand what I meant.

"It's just a transit point. Prussia is not our territory, but we maintain a garrison there. If a war breaks out between Rome and France, who would have thought that the Roman legions in Prussia would board sea ships and land at French ports from northern France!?

"

Alexander was stunned for a moment before saying, "There should be."

"But can you believe that the Roman army of less than 10,000 people in Prussia would attack across the sea?" My approach has proven that the French never thought that someone would lead such a small army across the sea.

The Ardennes Forest attacked France. Likewise, even if the French were aware that the empire had a garrison in Prussia, who would be wary of that garrison with a nominal number of less than 5,000 people?

After I finished speaking, I suddenly understood the whole thing!

The cheap daddy initially only allowed me to lead half of the Roman legion, and later added the other half of the legion to me. Such a covert method was most likely not because he wanted to suppress me. It was to make the French have confidence in the empire in Prussia.

The garrison relaxed its vigilance so that the empire could secretly transport troops to Prussia through Austria in the future, and then launch an attack on northern France by ship!

If this is the case, then I finally understand why the empire hooked up with the Netherlands, and why the cheap daddy spent so much money to desperately put William of Orange in power!

"Our empire and the Dutch Alliance not only used the hatred between the French and the Dutch to let the Dutch contain the French, but also used them for transportation in the English Channel and the Sea of ​​Jutland, allowing the Netherlands to

The Dutch helped the Empire transport troops from Prussia into France, right?"

The cheap dad nodded in acquiescence.

"Since the Empire wants to treat the Italian Peninsula as the main battlefield, which army will the Empire use to sneak attack the French?" Alexander asked anxiously, speaking quickly and urgently. "Are they those troops on the Austrian border?

Or the military in Ukraine?"

I'm also waiting anxiously.

The cheap daddy shook his head: "It's impossible for the troops on the Austrian border to reach Prussia without being noticed by the French. It's also impossible to transfer the troops from Ukraine to Prussia. Prussia is very far away from our territory, far away.

Send the army there. The momentum is so huge that it will consume a lot of supplies and baggage. It is impossible to do it.

Keep it secret, and the Russians have the ability to leak the news. And while the garrison is away, there is the possibility of plotting against our empire." The cheap dad immediately rejected the troops that Alexander and I could think of at the same time, so he was

Could it be that troop that was sent to the French again to conduct a sneak attack across the sea?

"The troops under the Duke of Bringas."

What?

I thought I was hallucinating, Duke Bringas's army?

The cheap dad spoke very slowly: "The army under the Duke of Bringas, which is conducting strategic defense in Germany, will go to the northern port at the appropriate time to take a ship to France."

"This won't work!" I yelled subconsciously.

Of course it won't work. If Duke Bringas's army withdraws, Prussia will be unable to support it alone. If the French make the wrong response, God knows how the Prussian army will be destroyed by the French!

Assuming that we really carry out strategic defense in Germany, the French, who are showing an active offensive posture, are likely to mislead many small German states to join them. By then, even if France withdraws, Prussia will still have to face the coalition of German princes.

And with Wangduo

According to Duke M's approach, I think it is very likely that the main force will be withdrawn. The partial divisions deployed behind and the coalition forces of the German princes are enough for the Prussian army to walk away! What will be left to me at that time will most likely be

A Prussia that was eaten clean by locusts!

Do I want to be like Frederick the Great and farm for more than 20 years after the Seven Years' War?

"Why?" The cheap daddy clasped his hands together and looked over with inexplicable brilliance in his eyes.

Why?

I have no reason why!

You can't say that you will ruin my future toys like this?

"If our troops withdraw, what will happen to our ally Prussia? At that time, Prussia will face not only the French, but also many German states who blindly follow the French army! Do we want to put Prussia to death?"

"Caesar, I don't think this is appropriate either," Alexander said.

"Since when did my two sons care so much about the life and death of a little Prussia?" the cheap dad chuckled.

I stiffened my neck and was about to quibble when Alexander stopped me. He glanced at me to signal me to stop talking and said: "Our empire does not only have Prussia as an ally. Abandoning Prussia rashly will cause other forces, those who want to

The forces allied with our empire have other ideas."

"My sons, you are wrong to think so. Allies, this kind of thing often does not appear when you need it most, and even if it does appear, it is the most unreliable. When you need it least, it is you.

When we are most powerful, we have the most allies and the most reliable ones. Do you think that once we abandon Prussia, Prussia will

It is indeed possible that the soldiers will fend for themselves and other forces will have a bad view of our Rome. But the premise is that our Rome is not strong enough, not strong enough to make everyone tremble under our power!

As long as we are so powerful that no one can stand against us, no matter what happens to Prussia!"

"Caesar, you are wrong to think this way!" I shouted.

"Isn't that right? The essence of the alliance is not what I can help others, but what benefits I can bring to others. As long as we grasp this and we have strong military power, the empire's allies will never

There will be less. What's more, Prussia is not our ally, but a weak parasite that relies on us to survive!" The cheap dad slowed down his tone, "My two sons, please remember this, friends are friends.

, a country is a country, a dynasty is a dynasty!”

"Okay, let's end this conversation. I have something else for you to do later, but before that, let me explain what we will do in the future." Cheap Daddy looked at Alexander, "Russian

The queen will arrive in Constantinople next month to marry you. After you marry that Russian woman, I will send you south to fight the infidels..."

His face began to show a ferocious look: "I ask you to continue to win more victories. Let the soldiers and people love you and worship you, understand! I trust you, and I will spare no effort to support you. As the future of the empire,

Emperor, you will not let me down, right?"

"Yes, Caesar! I am more than happy to serve you and the Empire! But I have one condition!"

"What conditions?"

"Can I leave on my wedding night?"

"Can."

"You, Nikis, my son, you have done a good job, great. You appeared when our empire needed a god of war the most! You now get more worship and more love in the army than Alexander.

..”

"Caesar, I can only be regarded as a good military general. I don't fit the descriptions of outstanding and god of war..."

"But the army doesn't know! They only know that you defeated almost all the famous generals in France! They only know that if you hadn't been assassinated, you could have entered Versailles! They only blindly see what they want to see! However, compared to
