"By taking advantage of the road, we are going to divide our troops into two groups and attack Prussia from the direction of Saxony." Douglas said in a deep voice.

General Victor nodded.

He looked at the march traced out by Douglas' fingers.

Attack all the way from Hanover, all the way from Saxony.

Attacking Berlin from both sides.

This plan is good. Prussia's defense force in the city of Saxony is relatively weak.

An attack from Saxony has a very good chance of winning.

But the direction of Hannover is not that simple. Hannover is now taken over by the Longyan Army.

The Austrian army was deeply aware of the fierceness of Long Yan's army.

It would be difficult for the Holy Crusaders to attack from Hanover.

"General Victor don't have to worry about those Longyan people. Our goal is to occupy Berlin. No matter how powerful the Longyan army is, they can't fight on multiple fronts."

Douglas said with a smile.

He nodded to Hanover again and said calmly: "The Longyan Army has not been in Hanover for a long time. We just need to hold them back."

"Then the other armies will face the Prussian army, which has long been weakened. This war will undoubtedly be won."

General Victor pondered for a moment and felt that this plan was feasible. He put forward his own opinion: "The plan is okay, but don't underestimate the power of the Longyan Army."

"We have seen their terrifying marching capabilities many times in Europe."

"And not only that, with the Longyan Army's artillery and their tactics, I don't think any country in Europe can defeat them."

"Even able to hold them back."

Douglas did not refute, just said: "That's true, but they don't have much food and grass, so let them hold themselves back."

Hearing these words, General Victor was stunned.

He instantly understood what Douglas wanted to do. Now, only the civilians of these three cities could provide food for the Dragon Flame Army in his belly.

There are also those garrisoned armies. The Longyan Army can plunder these armies, but it will pay a price.

General Victor didn't say much, he just looked at him deeply and said nothing.

Douglas laughed, and then said: "General Victor, when we came here, the Pope asked me to tell you something."

"What?" General Victor said in a deep voice.

"The Pope said that the position of the Holy Roman Emperor is only valid if it is recognized by the Catholic Church and canonized him."

The air suddenly fell silent, and General Victor stared at Douglas's smiling face with sharp eyes.

The reason why Austria started the war was because of the competition for the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire.

Frederick II, an outlier, claimed that Protestantism was the orthodox continuation of Christianity in the Holy Roman Empire.

He proclaimed himself the orthodox royal family of the Holy Roman Empire.

Teresa's family was the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, but it was never recognized by most countries in Europe. As the elder of the family, how could Victor allow Frederick II to steal the orthodoxy.

In order to be recognized by European countries as the orthodox status of the Theresa family, it needs to be recognized by the Catholic Church.

The majority of Europeans must agree with the orthodox sect of Christianity, Catholicism!

The best clergy of the Catholic Church and the Lord's spokesman on earth, the Pope, personally baptized and canonized Teresa.

Teresa became the Holy Roman Emperor.

So when he heard this, General Victor suddenly became murderous.

After a few seconds, the overwhelming murderous intent calmed down. Victor stared at the two men and said coldly: "Our Austrian army will definitely cooperate with the Holy Crusaders to fight."

"The Austrians will snipe the Prussian troops in Silesili."

Upon hearing this answer, Douglas smiled and nodded, raising the wine glass in his hand: "Then let's celebrate the victory of the war in advance."

Both Douglas and Prince Subitz raised their glasses, but General Victor did not move his hand.

But neither of them had the slightest expression of displeasure on their faces.

Austria's sending troops is good news for them.

Ever since the Longyan Army occupied the Austrian port, the Austrian army has been contained.

Almost all of the country's defenders were confronting Long Yan.

Externally, the Austrian army attacked Prussia in Poland.

Now that they are sending troops, there is no doubt that the Austrian army will give up its domestic suppression of the Long Yan Army.

As the main force against Prussia, Austria has long had various problems.

In order to maintain this war, Austria has borrowed a lot from the Hungarian nobles.

Although there are some anti-war voices in the country, successive years of war have made Austrian civilians gradually unable to make ends meet, and Austria, which was originally prosperous, is gradually weakening.

If winter comes this year, it is estimated that many Austrian people will starve to death on the streets.

But even so, Austria must get this soldier.

All this is the will of the Pope.

And it would also be good for Austria to end the war as soon as possible.

It's just that during this period when domestic defense power is empty, Long Yanjun may do something that Austria least wants to see.

The nearly 600,000-strong Dragon Flame Army at the Austrian port is no joke.

"General Victor, let's take our leave now."

After drinking all the red wine in the glass, Douglas said lightly.

"Walk slowly."

Upon hearing these two extremely cold words, Douglas suddenly smiled. When he walked to the door, he turned his head and said with a smile: "General Victor, I have a small request that you will not refuse."

Prince Subiz glanced at him and motioned him not to say anything more.

Victor looked at him coldly.

"Tonight, I want to taste an Austrian woman."

"roll!"

Douglas realized what was going on and left quickly.

That night, there was a pretty woman from Austria lying on Douglas's bed.

He found it from the streets of Vienna.

And that night, after these two people left, General Victor held an emergency meeting.

The situation in Austria is now very serious.

If troops are deployed to attack Sili Sili now, the power to confront the Long Yan Army will be weakened too much.

Moreover, winter is coming soon, and years of war have made the situation in Austria increasingly severe.

Until this year, some residents in Austria still had no food to survive the winter, and this was not the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing is that because of the war, many Austrian families are short of able-bodied men.

Despite the Industrial Revolution, many jobs can still be held by women.

But labor-intensive tasks like felling trees and making charcoal can only be done by men.

But this year not much is said about Austrian men doing these jobs.

Large amounts of charcoal and coal were used to run the factory.

The reserves of charcoal and coal will decrease sharply, and Austria may have nothing to burn during the winter this year.
