"Sir, Prussia is our gateway to Europe, and General Ling Chen is still stationed in Hanover."
"Are we going a little too far..."
Li Hongtian interrupted him and said, "What do you think Britain is doing during this time?"
The man was stunned. Since the war began on the European continent, Britain has only fought one war on the European continent, and it was still to defend their land.
The only ones who have been fighting against the European powers are the pitifully small troops of Long Yan and Prussia.
But after Long Yan helped Frederick II hold the Western Front, he did not get much actual benefit from Prussia.
Not even a promise.
This looks like trading at a loss.
"We, Long Yan, are not taken advantage of. Now when Prussia is in crisis, it comes to us, Long Yan, for assistance. The money is not that easy to get."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Reduce aid to Prussia and provide Prussia with everything but help starting today."
"It was Liu Zheng who decided to cooperate with Prussia. Sir, let's do this..."
Li Hongtian gave him a look and asked him to figure it out.
The other party lowered his head and understood immediately.
Without Lord Liu Zheng's acquiescence before leaving, how could this matter have come out of Lord Li Hongtian's mouth.
…
After King Yong received the letter written by Li Hongtian, he withdrew his troops.
Hamid looked puzzled as to why he chose this time to retreat.
Long Yan can now take a step further to cooperate with Prussia to defeat the Russian and Austrian coalition forces and solve the crisis situation that Prussia will face next.
But now Long Yan has no intention of defeating the Russian and Austrian coalition forces.
"Why, King Yong, I don't understand?"
King Yong glanced at Hamid and handed the letter Li Hongtian wrote to him into Hamid's hands.
Hamid took the letter and glanced at it twice, and his previous doubts disappeared.
"It should have been like this a long time ago. Frederick II was not a good bird either."
The Long Yan army led by King Yong retreated, and they returned to Poland to continue resisting Tsarist Russia. Although the Tsarist Russian troops had already attacked Prussia, Long Yan and Hamid would never allow Tsarist Russia to further expand their territory.
And at this moment.
Ling Chen in Hannover also received a letter from Li Hongtian.
But what was recorded in the letter was an order for him to mobilize his troops.
"Withdraw troops."
"Withdraw troops?" Diana looked at Ling Chen with a puzzled expression and asked him.
"What will happen to Prussia if you withdraw?"
"What about the people here?"
"Marissa and the other Germanic people who believe in Protestantism will once again be bullied by the Holy Crusaders, and war will come here again."
"General Ling Chen, is this the result you want to see?"
Ling Chen remained silent. On the one hand, it was a military order that he could not refuse.
But he didn't want to give up just like the people of Hanover. These were the people he had spent a lot of effort to protect.
"Military orders cannot be disobeyed. Sooner or later, our Long Yan Army will leave this land."
Ling Chen said in a deep voice.
Diana's body trembled a few times unnoticeably, and her spirit gradually became numb.
She couldn't believe her ears and couldn't believe that Ling Chen would withdraw his troops at this time.
"Please, protect the people here for a while, at least let them survive the autumn harvest, which won't take long."
"If you leave now, those Holy Crusaders will come back now, and this place will become a purgatory again."
Ling Chen remained silent.
Looking at his expression, Diana was heartbroken.
The air fell into silence. If they withdraw now, it will only reduce the casualties of the Long Yan Army.
Withdrawing the troops was not Ling Chen's original intention.
He exhaled deeply.
Looking at the pen and ink paper on the table, he walked over and wrote a letter.
…
The other side of the world.
America, British Post War Hospital.
It's night, but the hospital is still very busy.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, medicine has also made progress, but it is relatively slow.
Although this is a British hospital, it is still much more rigorous.
Perhaps due to the development of various biological theories, the methods of doctors here have gradually deviated from tradition, and injecting red wine into patients will not happen.
However, occasionally there would be some ruthless work, such as preparing a potion with poisonous toad mucus and forcing the patient to drink it.
They lose their sense of pain briefly, but it's highly addictive.
Excessive dosage may also cause death of the patient.
George deeply feels that current technology is lagging behind, so he always has to read the doctor's treatment plan first to make sure it is treating the disease rather than sending him to death.
Today was the day for his dressing change. Near evening, the doctor came to his ward.
The bodyguards protecting George and Green had no suspicion at all.
The doctor entered the ward smoothly.
George looked at the doctor and smiled: "Please hurry up a little."
The doctor nodded, and a nurse he brought with him helped George untie his wounds.
The doctor took out a piece of alcohol cotton, wiped George's wound, and changed his wound medicine. This operation went smoothly.
George watched the doctor take out two pills, gave one to George and one to Green.
"Drink it and you will get better quickly."
The doctor watched George and Green swallow the pills and drink water to wash them down.
The doctor nodded and turned to leave. Just when they were about to walk out of the door, George shouted at the top of his voice: "Bodyguard! Bodyguard! Catch those two people!"
The bodyguard looked at the doctor who came out, heard George's voice, and immediately subdued the doctor and nurse.
The doctor looked confused and was pushed to the ground by the bodyguard before he could figure out what was going on.
Everything was so sudden, and the two of them couldn't escape even when they heard George's shout.
The bodyguard pressed the two men in front of George.
Taking off the masks on their faces, George laughed out loud: "Sure enough, he is not my attending doctor. He scared me to death."
"If it were my attending doctor, I would have to consider changing doctors. Changing doctors at this time would be very troublesome."
"How do you know the identities of the two of us? We shouldn't have exposed anything." The two killers said in a deep voice.
George snorted coldly and said lightly: "Indeed, your method of applying the medicine did not make me suspicious."
"But I know you brought this out."
George took out the pill he had just pretended to swallow.
"From the moment you took out this pill, I knew you were not our doctor."
"In my treatment plan, this thing will not appear at all."
"Tell me who sent you." George smiled.
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, the two people's faces turned pale, but they refused to say a word about the person behind the scenes.
"Stop holding on, it's yours if no one comes back."
"If you are caught by us, even if you don't tell me, I will still have time to slowly catch the people behind you, don't you think so, Green?"
George turned back to look at Green, but when he saw that Green's face turned livid, and he was grabbing his throat and trying to open something, George's expression changed drastically: "Green!"
