One wave was unsettled and another wave started again.

Before the Vienna government completes the aftermath of the destruction of the canal, the Sino-European battlefield has changed again.

After 27 days of hard work, after paying the tragic cost of nearly 50,000 casualties, the French army still broke the Luxembourg line that the German Federal Republic painstakingly operated, and the German portal opened.

The pit teammates are also skillful. If earlier, Grand Duke Albrecht naturally did not mind the French army galloping in the German area, anyway, Austrian reinforcements are still on the road, no one can say anything.

It is not possible now. The Austrian reinforcements have reached the front line. The nearest unit is less than thirty kilometers away from the front line of Luxembourg. Looking at the ally is all over, then it is impossible to say.

But rescue is not easy. You have to know that these troops also have missions. The Belgians are waiting for them to rescue them.

Unlike the German Confederation, Belgium is really a small country with small projectiles. The war has now reached the stage of the nation's young and powerful, and it can be said that the full potential of war has erupted.

No way, this is a disaster caused by geographical location. After the outbreak of the war, the weakest Kingdom of Belgium has passively undertaken the heaviest combat tasks in the anti-French alliance.

Austria is too far away, and the German Confederation has been slow to move. Without providing them with timely support, the Kingdom of Belgium can only clenched its teeth, and now it has reached its limit.

Since Belgium persisted to the present, Grand Duke Albrecht could not naturally watch them die, and after the arrival of the reinforcements, ordered the reinforcement of Belgium as soon as possible.

As for the front lines of Luxembourg and Rhineland, the German Federation has more manpower after all, and its strength is still relatively sufficient.

However, the reality is such a comedy, the crumbling Kingdom of Belgium has not collapsed, and the more powerful German Confederation was first broken through the defense line.

"Luxembourg is defended by 350,000 troops on the front line, and more than 400,000 German troops in the Rhineland region can also respond. Why did the defense line suddenly collapse?"

Grand Duke Albrecht asked angrily.

But he was not angry, the Luxembourg line did not lose the defense early, but late, but collapsed at the time when it should not collapse.

The defense line collapsed a few days earlier, and the Austrian reinforcements were still on the road, so naturally there was no need to take responsibility for it; the collapse of the latter days, the main forces of the Austrian army came over, and they were not afraid to pk with the French.

It is not possible now. The vanguard of the Austrian army that arrived on the front line had only fifteen divisions. It was okay to reinforce Belgium to help stabilize the defense line.

If you want to fight a decisive battle with the French, there is no hope if you do not turn it up several times. The Grand Duke Albrecht does not think that the Austrian army can outnumber the enemy.

The Admiral of the German Federation, responsible for coordination, explained bitterly: "This is totally an accident, Your Excellency Marshal.

You know that there are so many states in this country. This is the first joint operation of various states, and there are some problems with the command of the army, so..."

The command system "had some problems", it was entirely Adrian who put gold on his face.

In fact, the issue of the command of the German Federal Army has never been straightened out.

The army of each state has independent command power. The chief commander appointed by the central government is more like a coordinator of a military alliance and has no mandatory binding force on the forces of each state.

Even the combat plan was formulated by the representatives of various states. Even if an unexpected situation is encountered, it is necessary for everyone to meet and decide together, otherwise the army of each state will not be a bird headquarters at all.

Fortunately, the Germans had always relied on fortifications to defend, and there was not much military movement required, or the chaotic command system would have been killed by the French.

You can avoid the first day, but not fifteen. The consequences of the chaotic command system still broke out, and the German Federation lost the Luxembourg line as a price.

Grand Duke Albrecht waved his hand and interrupted Adrian's long speech: "Well, now is not the time to hold the accountable, and I am not interested in knowing the bad things.

Now tell me, where did the French hit, and the loss of frontline troops, or how many troops can you control? "

After losing the battle, chaos will inevitably occur. In particular, the German Federal Army is still doing its own thing, and the situation is even more dangerous.

At this time, the Grand Duke Albrecht only hoped that these guys would burst out when they ran the road, retaining as much energy as possible, so as to delay the French advance in the next battle.

Adrian replied in a deep voice: "In the days of fighting, the front-line troops have long been physically and mentally exhausted. Suddenly they suffered a big defeat, and many troops were disbanded and formed.

Now we are gathering the collapsed soldiers, and it is estimated that this time the loss of troops will exceed half.

After the enemy had broken through the line of defense, the soldiers advanced in two ways, marching all the way to Belgium and all the way to the Rhineland area.

We have built a second line of defense in the Rhineland region, but suddenly, the frontline is understaffed..."

Having said this, Adrian stopped abruptly. No way, it is really shameful. Not only did their own defense line open, but even Belgium was miserable by the Germans.

Pit teammates are nothing, and Adrian is not a Virgin. The problem is that once Belgium falls, the German Federation will not escape.

The Austrian allies did come, but the Austrian army that reached the front was of limited strength and could not close the gap.

After looking at the map, Grand Duke Albrecht said coldly: "There will be no reinforcements. The front line is gone, and the dozen or so divisions in my hands are simply unable to balance the two lines.

The top priority is to find a way to hold the Rhine and create conditions for the counterattack. As for other regions, it is necessary to give up at this time.

Your Excellency should know the importance of the Rhine. If you do not want to see the French army galloping in the hinterland of the German region, then immediately shrink your troops and stick to it. "

Seemingly embarrassed, in fact, Grand Duke Albrecht has already blossomed deep inside.

In the German region, the decisive battle with the French army and the decisive battle with the French army in France are two completely different concepts.

Apart from military gains, political gains are more important. The defeat of the German front will awaken the German people's sense of crisis.

In a sense, the worse the front loses, the higher the call for unification after the war.

Especially the people who have experienced this war personally can appreciate the importance of the country.

Hannover-led Germany, obviously can not meet everyone's needs. At that time, public opinion will spontaneously promote the reunification of the German region, forming a general trend.

As for the group of state governments that are born with ghosts, after this war, it is almost time to recognize the reality. Especially the states that have suffered directly from the war need Austria's help after the war.

After a pause, Grand Duke Albrecht added: "By the way, Belgium needs your Excellency to explain."

The explanation has come to this step, and any explanation is futile. No matter how bad it is, the reality of Belgium being pitted cannot be changed.

If you don’t want to lose all of your family, the Belgian government can only give up most of its territory and stick to a small number of military fortresses.

If they are lucky, they will be able to reach the main Austrian troops; if they are unlucky, they can only go into exile.

It is conceivable that for a long period of time in the future, the relationship between the two countries will not be better. In the war that followed, the cooperation between the two countries could not be expected.

However, this has nothing to do with Grand Duke Albrecht. It is inevitable to make some sacrifices for the great cause of reunification in the German region.

Solving the force of these princes by the hands of the French is better than the Vienna government's bare-chested battle.

"My Excellency Marshal, there is still hope to close the gap when sending troops, and even..."

Not waiting for Adrian to finish talking, Grand Duke Albrecht interrupted strongly: "Your Excellency, all this is your wishful thinking.

If the gap could be plugged, the Rhineland Army would have already acted. But until now, they haven't seen them take action, are they waiting for my order to fail?

At this stage, the most important thing is to stabilize the situation and create opportunities for counterattacks in the future, rather than gambling for the possibility.

Your Excellency should know that we cannot afford to lose now. If the front line fails again, the international situation will be reversed, and the country that was originally inclined to our country may be transferred to the arms of the French. "

The excuses are never exhausted. Grand Duke Albrecht made sure to pay attention to killing with a knife, so he would not be persuaded.

...

The Royal Palace of Brussels, who just woke up from a nap and hadn't had time to wash away, Leopold II, received the terrible news of the collapse of the Luxembourg defense line.

Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that once Luxembourg falls, Belgium’s flanks are exposed to the French army’s front.

Now that the war is in progress, the Kingdom of Belgium has used its energies to breastfeed. In a short period of time, it has been unable to produce enough troops to build a left-wing defense line.

"waste!"

"It's a bunch of waste!"

"Nearly 800,000 troops can't hold even one Luxembourg. Are all the generals of the German Federation eating shit..."

...

In the face of the king's constant chatter, no one went to correct the Germans guarding Luxembourg, and there were no small problems of 800,000.

"Your Majesty, the Germans are retreating, and our left wing is directly exposed to the enemy's eyelids. Now we can only..."

Prime Minister Augustus was still politically wise, and he did not say any suggestions for exile before he was unsure of Leopold II’s position.

Perhaps the vent just relieved the mood, or the Prime Minister’s persuasion had worked, and the calmed Leopold II said in a deep voice:

"Don't Albrecht send us reinforcements. Send these troops up, they won't be waste too!"

"Your Majesty, these troops will not come. Just now a telegram from the coalition headquarters, Grand Duke Albrecht is preparing to build the Rhine line of defense.

It is recommended that we shrink our troops, give up unnecessary lines of defense, and guard only a few key areas, waiting for the next big counterattack. "

Army Admiral Desmet replied.

"Humph!"

"Waiting for a big counterattack, he said it was easy. Anyway, the battlefield is not in Austria, it doesn't matter how you fight.

But what should we do?

What about the six million Belgian people?

Staying in Brussels or Austria in exile?

..."

Leopold II posed a series of questions, which constantly impacted the people and carried out a soul torture in the heart of everyone.
