Long Yanren hanged the French general at the Palace of Versailles. Such a sensational incident did not cause an uproar within France.
Even after a few days, the French seemed to have forgotten the matter.
No one mentioned it.
However, the Dragon Flame Army that was hoarded on the French border has already withdrawn.
Before the evacuation, some people had seen many Longyan people leaving France together.
Among them are many scientists and engineers from Long Yan.
It’s hard not to think of recent events.
Louis XV, the emperor of France, finally bowed his head to Long Yan.
Bonaparte recorded this incident in his diary, knowing that these events would never be recorded in French history.
Most of the French people will not know, and even some of the nobles involved will not know.
He knew this because his unit had been transferred back recently due to its merits in countering the rebellion.
It happened that within the army, the information available was enough for Bonaparte to understand.
He looked at what he had recorded and fell into thought.
The truth was no longer important when things had developed to this point. He couldn't understand why Long Yan humiliated France and cut off France's face.
Why the royal family chose to compromise rather than fight.
Is it just because of the power of Dragon Flame?
France has the support of many overseas colonies, which is not much inferior to Long Yan.
If a war really breaks out, they should not be too afraid.
Or there are other reasons... Bonaparte couldn't think of it, so he could only write at the end: I don't understand why the royal family is so cowardly.
…
At this time, on the European battlefield.
After getting rid of General Lacey's pursuers, the Prussian troops led by Frederick II were already heading to the battlefield in Silesili.
This once fertile Silesia has now become a scorched earth.
The Prussian troops and the Russian-Austrian coalition forces fought for every inch of the way, making this battle an anxious state.
And Frederick II not only had to deal with the crisis from Silesia.
There is also the threat from the German country to the north, Sweden.
Sweden has occupied the Gulf of Pomerania and directly threatens Prussia from the north.
Originally Sweden had no intention of competing for other Prussian territories, but now Prussia is on the verge of disintegration.
Adolf originally held a grudge against Frederick II for abducting little Peter.
So he also wanted to take advantage of this moment to give Prussia a heavy blow, completely divide it, and make Frederick II his prisoner!
For this reason, the Prussian troops must separate their forces to guard against the Swedish troops.
However, such preparations left Berlin's military strength extremely empty.
From the 30,000 standing troops before, there are now no more than 3,000 troops.
But it happened that at this time, Naresh and Polnev, together with General Rausi, personally led a raiding force and secretly marched from Silesi to Berlin, waiting for the opportunity to raid!
They gathered 18,000 Tsarist Russian soldiers and 15,000 Austrian troops.
This was several times the strength of the Prussian troops in the anti-Berlin city.
Polnev, who had suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Prussian troops and the Dragon Flame troops, had long wanted to destroy the city of Berlin quickly!
With Naresh's acquiescence, he mobilized powerful troops to launch an attack on the city of Berlin.
At this moment, Frederick II also received news that the city of Berlin was under attack. He was extremely anxious and regretted the orders he had given.
At that time, in order to fight against General Lacey's troops, Frederick II mobilized a large number of soldiers from Berlin.
I want to rely on encirclement and interception to fight General Lacey.
However, General Lacey's troops moved very quickly and restrained the troops he mobilized.
The city of Berlin had no troops to mobilize, and the remaining soldiers could not even mobilize the built fortifications to a level sufficient to resist.
Considering that the current city of Berlin is surrounded by security, all routes to attack here must be blocked by their own troops.
There were almost no troops that could threaten the city of Berlin, so Frederick II made the decision to make Berlin one of the few undefended cities.
This decision now seems extremely wrong.
Who could have expected that the Russian-Austrian coalition would take a direct detour from Silisi to attack Berlin.
He could only pray that he could get back to Berlin before the city was captured.
But this hope is slim.
At this time, the cavalry general under Polnev, Totler, led 6,000 cavalry and forced them into the suburbs of Berlin.
Regarding Totler's march, the Austrian general said to Polnev: "He is a despicable gentleman who made his fortune from scratch and has no glory at all!"
"Why do you want to use such a person as the general of the cavalry?"
Polnev looked at his comrade who asked the question, General Rausi.
I know that he is a fair general and can't stand some people with "bad moral character".
Polnev indeed said: "Totler was once a Prussian major general, served in many countries and armies, and even now has deep connections with Berlin's business circle."
"He even has the bad habit of freeloading and stealing to go with his stinky reputation!"
"But, General, you may not know that his son serves as an officer in the Prussian army."
"Such a person knows nothing about the city of Berlin and the Prussian troops."
"He's going to be our best opener."
After hearing this, General Rausi could not agree with Polnev. He always believed that a general with questionable conduct like Totler did not know how to trust.
…
At this time, on the battlefield, the Tsarist Russian cavalry led by Totler had launched an attack on the city of Berlin.
At this time, there were only troops composed of recruits, wounded and militiamen in Berlin. Even counting the cooks, there were only two thousand people who could fight.
But such a force had to resist more than 6,000 elite cavalry from Tsarist Russia, which was the opponent's vanguard.
If the opponent forcefully attacks the city, the city of Berlin will definitely suffer a devastating blow.
But Totler, who had already controlled the outskirts of Berlin at this moment, was in no hurry to attack Berlin.
"General, when will we launch an attack, we will be the first to win the city of Berlin!"
"You will also receive a reward."
Totler looked at the city of Berlin standing on the ground. It looked majestic, but as long as you paid a little attention to the cracks on the city wall, you would know that it was already strong on the outside and might collapse at any time.
A smile appeared on Totler's lips, he looked at the sun that was about to set in the sky, and said calmly: "Attack, but don't break the city. Let the Prussian soldiers feel the despair that they can't defeat."
"It's like a cat playing with a mouse."
The adjutant, who had been following Totler for a long time, instantly understood what the other party meant. He nodded: "As ordered."
Totler narrowed his eyes and looked at the city of Berlin again. For him, destroying the city and occupying it would not bring him much wealth.
Only by keeping those extremely wealthy merchants in Berlin vigilant can they earn more.
