On the other side of the European battlefield, Poland was partitioned.
Polnev has received a visit to Tsarist Russia, and the Orthodox and Catholic churches have reached cooperation.
But at the same time, Polnev also received another news. The Longyan Army led by Ling Chen had conquered the Prussian border city occupied by Austria.
It is said that the fighting lasted less than an hour, and the Austrian garrison in the Prussian border city was overrun and defeated.
The Austrian army didn't even have time to react before being defeated by Ling Chen's charge.
It is said that there are also Protestants who work together inside and outside.
When Ling Chen led the army to attack the city, the hidden Protestant believers launched a riot in the city!
After hearing this news, Polnev's spirit trembled. This news was too shocking.
After Austria occupied Prussia, it accumulated numerous troops there.
Although the Prussian residents resisted the Austrian occupation, they were always in small uprisings and would soon be suppressed by the Austrian army.
Although Long Yan was an ally of Prussia, Long Yan did not have a mass base in Europe.
Even the residents of Prussia don't have much favorable impressions of this Prussian ally.
After all, language barriers and cultural barriers make communication difficult.
Knowing that Long Yan's chief lieutenant, Liu Zheng, had publicly announced his support for the Protestant religion, this had given Long Yan a certain degree of popularity in Europe.
Some Protestant churches even launched an uprising for this reason, hoping to cooperate with Long Yan to support the Protestant religion.
Among them, Prussia is the most popular!
But Austria deployed more than one million troops in Prussia, and these Protestants, who had little ability to resist, were the most severely suppressed.
Prussian residents under Austrian control who were personally Catholic had to go to concentration camps.
Although most of the Prussian residents believed in Protestantism, they were under extreme control by the Austrian army.
Not many people in Prussia admitted to being Protestants.
As for those staunch members of the Protestant faith, they had long been captured by the Austrian army and put under control in the military camp. Even if they wanted to cause trouble and resist, there was nothing they could do.
Even if the Long Yan Army attacks the border cities of Prussia, even if it has the support of the Protestant believers, it should not end the battle so quickly.
After all, the Prussian Protestants did not believe in the Long Yan Army that much.
After all, Long Yanjun is still an outsider.
Before that, Polnev always believed that even if the Longyan Army was still
But what is even more puzzling is that those Protestants are actually hiding so deeply. If Austria really completely occupies Prussia in the future, these hidden Protestants will be a huge threat!
Hidden bomb, you don’t know when it will explode.
But from the current perspective, although Prussia suffered some losses, it was still good that the hidden bomb exploded.
When Polnev saw the third piece of information, he immediately knew why the Protestants firmly supported the Longyan Army this time.
He even did not hesitate to detonate his hidden power in the city in advance.
Snap!
The military newspaper was slammed hard, and there was a crisp sound on the wooden table.
Polnev took two deep breaths, stood up and walked out, but as soon as he reached the door, he sighed suddenly.
He sat back at the general's desk, glanced at the military report that fell on the table, pinched his forehead, sighed, and said helplessly:
"Is the Catholic Pope crazy?"
"Is the Patriarch crazy?"
"We must intensify the conflict..."
With complicated eyes, Polnev picked up the military newspaper and read it a few more times, his eyes became even more complicated.
The Catholic Church has launched a holy war, which is tantamount to piercing the last layer of window paper!
Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant...
Originally they all came from one sect, Christianity!
Although the philosophies are different, Catholicism calls Protestants heretics, and Orthodoxy has a bad relationship with the other two denominations.
But it is also an issue between denominations and has nothing to do with believers.
This kind of conflict will only be an overt or covert contest. As long as the sects don't break up with each other, the believers will not be involved in the Tao war.
Some conflicts only gradually deepen, but they will never develop to this point.
Although conflicts will break out sooner or later, they will never happen so quickly.
But the Catholic Pope actually intensified this conflict.
Originally, Long Yanjun was just under the guise of supporting the Protestant religion and did not take many practical measures.
Well now, the Long Yan Army has directly become the Holy Crusaders supporting the Protestant religion.
In the eyes of the Protestants, he became the messenger sent by the Lord to save them.
This is equivalent to giving Long Yan a large wave of fans in Europe, and the Protestant believers have seamlessly transformed into Long Yan's popular base in Europe.
The Long Yan Army is inherently terrifying.
They have the most advanced technology in the world, and Tsarist Russia has no advantage in this regard.
The only advantage is that no country in the world can match the ferocity of the Tsarist Russian army.
But fighting does not depend on being more fierce than anyone else.
Compete against the mass base, compete against national strength, compete against science and technology, and compete against the calculations among generals.
Originally, Long Yan's army was fighting in Europe, and the front was extremely long. The first two factors were the masses and national strength. Although Long Yan's country was very powerful, it was beyond its reach!
Now the Pope has indirectly allowed Long Yan to gain a mass base in Europe.
There are not a few people in Europe who believe in Protestantism. They are all in every country, but there are only a few who respect Protestantism as the state religion.
Prussia, Britain and some small countries...
These countries and the believers of Protestantism are now the mass base of the Long Yan Army.
With a mass base, it is easier to attack a city.
The border cities of Prussia are a good example.
"How can we fight like this!" Polnev shouted helplessly and furiously.
Now he had no choice but to vent his dissatisfaction with anger.
The Pope is now the most powerful person in Europe.
As a general of Tsarist Russia, it was impossible for him to kill others.
But it is good news for Tsarist Russia.
At least the Catholic port has little problem.
Moreover, with the Catholic call to form a crusade and launch a holy war, as a loyal believer of the Catholic Church, the strength of the Franco-Austrian Alliance will be doubled.
First of all, they can crush the allies of Prussia, Britain and Longyan in terms of numbers.
Polnev looked outside and squinted, thinking a lot. The current situation in Poland was like a lake that had fallen silent.
No one knows what lies beneath.
The recent actions of the Long Yan Army have been lacking. Ling Chen has arrived at the border of Prussia. It is estimated that Prussia will be able to get back a large piece of land in a short time.
Austria has also advanced into Poland and the Polish royal family has attacked Prussia. Prussia's current situation is already very bad.
Even if Prussia gets back a large area of land, they have no time to take care of it now.
Polnev quietly analyzed the situation. It seems that the situation is still in their favor. The most needed defense now is the Long Yan Army mixed in the Ottoman army.
