There are still mosquitoes in Austria.
Last night Liu Zheng and Xie Chan were tortured by mosquitoes and fought all night long.
The next day, Liu Zheng stared at the circle of darkness and came to his temporary command room.
King Yong, Ling Chen and other generals of the Longyan Army have been waiting for Liu Zheng here for a long time.
"First assistant, first assistant..."
Everyone stood up and saluted, and Liu Zheng returned the salute. After sweeping around, he sat down and said, "Our Long Yan Army didn't bully the local civilians, right?"
The general of the Long Yan Army stationed here immediately said: "No, with the military discipline of the Chief Assistant, no one in the Long Yan Army dares to bully the civilians here."
Liu Zheng nodded, remembering the military discipline he had established in Longyan.
Civilians must not be harmed wantonly, and people from any country must be treated equally in the eyes of Long Yanjun.
"Well, very good, let me report the current situation in Europe and bring up the map." Liu Zheng said calmly.
Soon someone took out a map and spread it on the table. Liu Zheng and other generals looked at the map.
King Yong was the vanguard, so he was familiar with the war situation in Europe. Although he later went to Vienna, he still controlled the frontline war situation in Vienna.
"Look, Chief Minister, this is where we are." King Yong said, pointing to a port on the Mediterranean coast of Austria.
"This is where Prussia is now, and their national territory has shrunk dramatically."
Liu Zheng looked at King Yong's gestures and was shocked. In just a short time, Prussia's land area had shrunk by nearly half.
"What happened in Prussia?"
King Yong continued: "Prussian forces are now concentrated in Poland. Although they have occupied most of Poland's territory, they are also trapped in Poland."
Liu Zheng looked at the position where King Yong's hand fell, his expression a little solemn.
"What about the Ottoman Empire? Hasn't Hamid already joined the war?"
King Yong solemnly pointed to another place in Poland and gestured: "Here, they are sniping at Tsarist Russia. Prussia wanted to join the Ottomans in Poland, but Tsarist Russia borrowed a road from Sweden to march."
“Like a nail stuck between Prussia and Ottoman.”
"That's why I said that Prussia is now trapped in Poland."
After seeing Prussia's current situation, Liu Zheng frowned. Without Tsarist Russia as a thorn, Frederick II would have merged with the Ottoman Empire to form a vertical line.
At that time, Frederick II could either retreat or fight.
But I didn't expect that Tsarist Russia could actually use Sweden to insert itself between the two countries.
At this time, Frederick II was considered useless. Not only the land was lost, but the people were also lost. His main force also lost its mass base in Poland, and it must be difficult.
This almost trapped Frederick II to death in Europe.
"What about the trends in other countries?" Liu Zheng asked again.
King Yong said one by one, and Liu Zheng was stunned when he heard it. He didn't expect that Frederick II was so popular.
Except for a very few countries, almost every country on the European continent is either besieging Prussia or on the way to besiege Prussia.
The popularity of Frederick II is too bad...
Liu Zheng complained, but Frederick II was a key figure in his entry into Europe, and he could not be allowed to die so early now.
But looking at the battle situation, Liu Zheng frowned. If they wanted to go to Prussia now, the easiest way would be to attack Vienna, the capital of Austria.
They crippled Austria and helped Frederick II through Austria, but the problem was that Long Yan did not have a mass base in Europe.
If they push all the way across, even if they defeat Austria, their millions of troops will be trapped and die inside the European continent because they are deep inland and have no way to get support.
Therefore, if Long Yan now wants to support Frederick II, he must rely on port cities and use sea transportation.
At this time, Liu Zheng set his sights on Poland.
Poland is a serfdom country, but it has a large area. The land is connected to many cities, and there are ports in the Mediterranean.
"Next, our Longyan Army will not continue to penetrate deeper into Austria. We will only occupy this port and fight for the Polish port through shipping."
King Yong nodded. If he could land in Poland, the crisis in Prussia could indeed be solved.
But there is a problem. The port city in Poland that is most suitable for their Longyan landing has fallen into the hands of Tsarist Russia.
"Chief Assistant, this plan is good, but do we have the ability to retake the port from Tsarist Russia?"
What Tsarist Russia lacks most now is ports. The port cities occupied by him will never be spit out easily.
"The fighting spirit of Tsarist Russia is high now. If we send troops to capture this port city, Tsarist Russia might jump over the wall and drag us down at sea."
"The sea is not as good as the land. Although our ships are powerful, as long as the army cannot go ashore, it is impossible for us to take advantage of the Longyan Army's land force. As for the attack range of the ship's cannon, it is too limited."
Everyone kept saying what they said, but they still didn't discuss how to seize this port city from Tsarist Russia.
King Yong looked at Liu Zheng, they had no idea, even though he was a master of naval warfare.
But landing in a well-defended port city from the sea is quite difficult.
The gunfire on the ship is too limited, and there is no way to target the equipment on the shore, and it may not even be within the range.
"Chief Assistant, if we land from Poland, we will suffer heavy damage."
Liu Zheng laughed and said, "Who said we would land in Poland?"
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this, but no matter how they looked at it, Poland was the best port city to land in, and it was their best strategic choice.
"No, we will land from the Ottomans and attack Poland from here." Liu Zheng pointed at the Ottoman map and said.
Everyone looked at the Ottoman port city and then looked at the distance from here to Poland.
It's too long. If we were to march, we would have to walk for at least half a month. It would be too time-consuming.
If this situation continues, it is not certain whether Frederick II can survive for half a month.
"But……"
"We have bicycles." Liu Zheng said lightly.
Everyone suddenly realized that they had almost forgotten the secret artifact they brought from Longyan, the bicycle!
This kind of thing, combined with special wheels, can travel no slower than a horse.
And it’s light and easy to carry.
"The first assistant is wise!"
All the generals complimented in unison.
Liu Zheng looked at them and shook his head. Long Yan has developed too fast in the past few years, and the strategic thinking of these generals is still stuck in the previous era.
If things don't change quickly, even if Long Yan has very advanced technology, these people won't know how to use it.
