News of the destruction of the Polish city quickly spread back to Tsarist Russia.
At this moment, there was an uproar in the Russian upper house!
"How was Polnev defeated!"
"We trusted him so much, but he failed us and was actually defeated by the combined forces of Long Yan and the Ottomans!"
"What do you mean? If you have the ability, lead your people to the battlefield and see!"
"Narysh, there is no need to excuse yourself. Polnev is the person you recommended. You should be responsible for this matter!"
"Dolgoruky, are you going to declare war on me?"
…
The entire House of Lords was in a quarrel over this incident.
Queen Elizabeth I could not suppress her inner emotions for a long time.
She glanced coldly, and saw that everyone in the upper house, except Osilev and two other members of her own family, were making a fuss.
"enough!"
Elizabeth I's screams echoed throughout the House of Lords.
The other congressmen fell silent immediately, and Dolgoruky and Naresh also fell silent.
They gradually calmed down and looked at Elizabeth I, not daring to make too many mistakes.
This young empress of Tsarist Russia has just ascended the throne not long ago, but now she has fully demonstrated what a young empress should be like.
Since she took office, her skills have been enough to win the respect of these senators.
Queen Elizabeth I looked at everyone on the field and said in a cold voice: "Winning or losing is the normal state of war. As the top people in Tsarist Russia, you actually blame each other for this matter?"
"Does it mean anything to us?"
The people on the field fell silent for a moment, not really knowing what to say.
Elizabeth I sighed.
She looked at the battle report in her hand. Polnev held on to the Polish city for five full days. Although there was help from other cities during these five days, there was not much.
It accurately records the beginning and end of this war.
The Polish city was attacked by the Allied forces of Longau from the beginning. The city wall was broken, and the 10,000 elite troops that Polnev had ambushed outside the city were slaughtered without any reaction.
Although Polnev fought back on the first day and withstood the attack.
However, the losses were huge, and for the next five days Polnev defended himself tightly.
It failed to allow the Long'ao Alliance Army to make any progress.
Until the fifth day, the Ottoman Empire got a huge cannon from nowhere and destroyed the outer city of Poland with just one shot.
After the outer city was broken, Polnev activated the ambush he had left in the inner city and resisted tenaciously.
But in the end, Long Yan's humble siege artillery destroyed the inner city.
The Russian army was defeated, and so far this is all that has happened in the war in Poland.
After reading this military report, Elizabeth I could not calm down for a long time.
I never thought that the Ottoman Empire would have such a thing as a giant cannon, a weapon that could destroy city walls with one blow.
There are also Longyan's siege cannons, which are also very terrifying, although not as scary as the Ottoman Empire's giant cannons.
But Long Yan's siege artillery caused astonishing damage.
Tsarist Russia once regarded Osman and Long Yan as opponents of the same level.
Even after Tsarist Russia was trapped by Long Yan, the Tsarist Russian army never admitted that they were weaker than Long Yan's army in all aspects.
As for why they lost the war, it was because the regent Menshikov was an out-and-out bastard, otherwise they would not have lost the war!
But now it seems that what they once considered an equal opponent has now surpassed them.
Although the performance of the Cossack cavalry is still outstanding, the Industrial Revolution allowed their industry to develop and their weapons and equipment to develop.
These developments are something that Tsarist Russia does not possess.
Sequestered on the mainland by the Longyan people for these years, Tsarist Russia has almost cut off contact with the outside world.
Although their country is also experiencing the industrial revolution, it is only in the early stages and has not completely completed the industrial revolution.
Elizabeth I pressed her fair forehead and thought for a long time. This war was both an opportunity and a crisis.
Tsarist Russia must open a bridge of communication with the outside world and establish scientific research. It cannot lag behind Long Yan in the industrial revolution!
"The failure of this war also gave us a clearer understanding of Russia."
"We have missed so much of the world, and now we must catch up." Elizabeth I said solemnly.
When the members heard this, a hint of gloom flashed across their faces.
The once powerful Tsarist Russia became weak after being blocked by Dragon Flame.
With all the new inventions emerging in the world, they even feel like they can't keep up with the times.
"I proposed a motion to restart the Ministry of Scientific Research. The main reason for the failure of this war is because this country's armaments are not as good as others."
"Vote."
"I agree."
"I agree……"
None of the members of the House of Representatives opposed this proposal.
However, the failure of this war was not only due to technological issues, but also to other issues.
What sentence should be passed on Polnev.
Now that Long Yan has occupied Poland City and opened the passage, if he continues to advance, Prussia can form a front with Long Yan in Poland.
This would make their main rival Prussia powerful once again.
"There is also the Austrian army near Prussia, as well as the Polish government-in-exile."
"The Longyan people want to unite with Prussia to form a front, but it seems unrealistic now." A congressman analyzed.
Others took a look at the congressman and immediately said: "I don't think so, although Prussia is blocked by the Austrian army."
"But as far as I know, Frederick II repeatedly defeated the Austrian army, although the Austrian army was much stronger than Prussia."
"But the Austrians' fighting power is too weak, which is the main reason why Prussia has not yet perished."
"I don't think we should take it lightly now. I think we should allocate a force to ambush Prussia instead of continuing to block the Longao Allied Forces."
This matter was discussed for a long time without any conclusion. Elizabeth I frowned slightly and looked at Senator Naresh.
"Congressman Naresh, do you have any good suggestions?"
Councilor Naresh thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think the current situation is very unfavorable for us to continue to snipe the Long'ao Allied Forces."
"They have broken through Poland City. If we can take advantage of the fact that they have not repaired the city wall of Poland City and take Poland City back, the situation will return to the past."
"But I think it's unlikely. After we lost the city of Poland, we also lost all the important passes leading to western Poland."
"Now we can only cooperate with the Austrians to besiege Prussia."
"Destroy Prussia before the Dragon Flame Army captures the Polish ports, then we will have some turning points in this war."
