Prussia.
After Long Yan chose to wait on the sidelines, Britain also made a similar decision to weaken its aid to Prussia.
Prussia, which was already not wealthy, once again made matters worse.
But fortunately, the richest region on the European continent is Silesia.
After being reoccupied by Austria, it returned to the embrace of Prussia.
This is Prussia, its most important economic source.
Now Frederick II had no choice but to lead the Prussian troops on the Eastern Expedition.
At this time, the Oder River Basin.
Frederick II's plan failed. They isolated the Russian army, but did not destroy the two Austrian armies.
However, Frederick II's surprise attack caused the Austrian troops responsible for supplies to lose their ability to supply.
General Haddix, who was supposed to obtain supplies on the river, also lost his way in the jungle because he evaded the surprise attack of the Prussian troops.
Because they were not familiar with the terrain, the swamps and wolves in the jungle became a problem for them.
Not only did he lose his supplies on the river, he also lost over two thousand men to the wolves.
And another troop.
The troops led by the Austrian general Rausch chose to retreat after being attacked by Frederick II.
When everyone gathered again, the army's supply column had been lost.
They were acting together with the Russian army.
When they were attacked, the Tsarist Russian troops were not far from their position. General Rausi believed that the Tsarist Russian troops were unwilling to save their lives.
But on the other side, the Russian troops.
Naresh also has a lot of opinions about Raushi.
He couldn't understand the Austrian language, and the translator he carried with him was also half-assed. There was a huge obstacle to communication between the two of them.
This directly led to great differences between them.
At this time, Naresh learned that Austria had lost all the supply columns that originally belonged to them.
Even more angry.
"Why are these German countries so annoying!"
Naresh admits that he has a bad temper, but he is not someone who gets angry over trivial matters.
But the Austrian troops commanded by General Rausi and General Haddix are now extremely bored.
The Austrian troops commanded by the two men did not take this war seriously in his eyes.
A Hungarian noble general refused to give up his own interests in Silisi and attacked Silisi regardless of the overall situation.
Another Austrian general, Rausi, did not realize that he was fighting a war at all.
The most important thing in a war is supplies. Without supplies, what kind of combat effectiveness would the soldiers have?
Countless war experiences in history have taught them the importance of supplies.
But they didn't know anything about it.
But for the sake of the overall situation, Naresh endured it.
"We will count the amount of supplies we have left and start implementing a rationing system for meals to reduce unnecessary consumption."
Naresh gave the order.
Without the Austrian supply column, they had to wait until the next place to get replenishment.
And now they still have a long way to go.
In such a dangerous jungle, soldiers cannot lose their combat effectiveness.
Naresh thought about speeding up his march.
And this situation did not last for a few days.
General Rausi, who looked disheveled, had to bring his own translator to ask Naresh for some supplies.
After losing the supply column, the poor system caused the few supplies they had left to be almost consumed.
The soldiers who were watching were too hungry to march.
General Rausi had no choice but to ask General Naresh for some supplies.
General Rausi had not wanted to come.
There was already a very deep conflict between him and Naresh.
But the current situation forced him to continue to look down and ask Naresh to give them some supplies.
Naresh rejected General Rausi's request without any surprise.
The reason is very simple.
Now the supplies of their Tsarist Russian troops are not enough.
If the Austrian troops are assigned to them, the Tsarist Russian troops will also have to drink from the northwest wind.
This undoubtedly exacerbated the direct conflict between the two forces.
…
At this time, Frederick II, whose plan failed, was not discouraged.
For him, accepting failure now is as easy as eating and drinking.
The key lies in rectification after failure.
Before receiving assistance from the Dragon Flame troops, Frederick II encountered siege from almost all European countries.
Under the huge gap between the population and the strength of the army.
Even Frederick II's command level, no matter how superb, could not make up for this gap.
It was then that Frederick II became an expert on losing armies
Having become an expert in dealing with this problem, Frederick II adopted a compartmentalized approach to management and once again integrated the troops.
Reduce the spread of defeat sentiment.
Rebuild morale.
Perhaps it was because the first two kings of Prussia, Frederick I and William I, had transformed Prussia into a militaristic country.
This was their merit but also Prussia's misfortune.
Their militaristic policies did indeed make Prussia extremely powerful in their time.
They have very strict rules.
Under such regulations, each soldier in the Prussian army only needed seventy-five steps to cover a distance of fifty meters. This is a very accurate data.
In the age of the flintlock, repeating muskets had not yet appeared.
At that time, the powerful armies in Europe could shoot three times a minute, but after the reforms of the two kings, their musketeers were divided into three layers.
Every time the troops at the front finish shooting, they can quickly push to the back, and the troops at the back can shoot quickly to reduce the time gap for reloading.
This is a very advanced combat idea, but the most powerful troops are obtained in exchange for cruel military discipline.
For these Prussian soldiers, the horror of life and death on the battlefield was not as terrifying as the horror of taking a wrong step.
At this time, Frederick II would thank his father and his grandfather for leaving him with a strong army.
Even after experiencing a defeat, morale can be restored quickly.
…
At the other end, France learned that Prussia was once again facing war.
Under the instructions of Louis XV, the French army decided to attack Prussia.
This aroused a lot of opposition in the country, not because they thought there was anything wrong with attacking Prussia, but because they thought the overseas colonies of France now belonged to them.
They were all caught up in the battle with Longyan and Britain.
There is no way to save those colonies, and they still want to maintain the battlefield in Europe.
It is already very unrealistic to say.
But this time, they were also cooperating with troops under the control of the Habsburg dynasty such as Italy.
With the cooperation of these countries, domestic opposition was contained.
Now without the assistance of Long Yan and Britain, Prussia is simply at the mercy of the French army!
