The collapse of the Luxembourg line of defense had a tremendous impact. The prestige of France echoed across the continent again, as if the army that swept across the continent was back.
Belgium panic, many states in Germany panic, European countries panic, even panic in Austria.
Vienna Palace
After letting go of the newspaper bragging about the invincibility of France, Franz nodded with satisfaction: "Good job, I believe we will be able to reap a lot of help in the next period of time."
The European balance policy is not just played by the British. In fact, most European countries are supporters of this policy, and no one wants to see a behemoth on their heads.
There is no doubt that this European war is the key to the sustainability of the European balance. It is not what everyone in Faw wants to win.
Now that France has the upper hand, it is natural for someone to pull back. In order to make the storm more intense, Franz must exaggerate France's strength.
The facts lie ahead. The medium-strong country of the German Federation, relying on fortifications to defend, did not stay under the French army for a month.
You must know that the former Prussian kingdom was not as strong as the German Federation, and it was able to fight with the Russians. Finally, it was tortured by the tsarist government with a sea of tactics.
With this sharp contrast, who dares to say that France is not the world's first army power?
Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "Your Majesty, the power of France has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. We continue to build momentum for them and it is easy to get out of control.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was informed that in recent times Switzerland, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries have been eyeing the French, and the isolated French political structure that we have painstakingly created is being shaken. "
The survival of a small country is that the grass on the wall falls with the wind. Now that the French have the upper hand, everyone naturally has to rely on it.
Of course, this closeness is not their true will, but only because of the need for survival, the relationship with the French was eased.
Close on the bright side, it is still necessary to continue to stab the knife in secret. After all, this French empire seems too aggressive and may threaten their security at any time.
Franz shook his head: "It doesn't matter, these small countries are moving closer to them, but the big countries are alienating them.
You found that no. Since the Luxembourg line was lost, our destruction of the Suez Canal has been selectively forgotten by everyone.
The members of the Italian independent organization detained by the British are about to be returned to their country. It seems that the London government is still very vigilant against the French.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs worked hard again to encourage the British to increase the tariffs on the export of French materials and continue to increase the cost of the French war.
Spain and Russia cannot relax their public relations, although they are not very reliable, but they can also block the French. "
It seems to be an understatement, but in fact Franz's heart is not calm. European countries can now hinder the French, and they will also hinder Austria in the future. Anyone who is strong will oppose anyone.
But at this stage, to complete the strategy of reunification of the empire, we must solve France; to solve France, we must also solve the European countries.
Well, Franz is sensible and chose to follow the trend, without any plan to fight against European countries.
The Austrian General Staff is also not the Showa General Staff, and it has no brainpower to formulate a strategy to conquer Europe. Just prepared to beat everyone by surprise, to steal a chicken.
In order to achieve strategic goals, Franz did not hesitate to suppress the front line generals. I would rather bear the political pressure brought about by the defeat of the previous battlefield, but also...
...
"Come on, let me run faster!"
"Filir, you give me a fool. Don't keep up with it, and with this ink, the French will poke your eyes!"
The urging sound of middle-aged officers continued to sound, but the effect was not satisfactory. There was no way to lose the battle in a confused way, and then escaped in a daze, the morale of the army was long gone.
The Luxembourg defense line collapsed, but the Germans' back road was not cut. The French came directly from front A, and there was no way to stop everyone from running.
If it were not for the chaos of the German command system, if the front line had a gap, and it was not promptly put into reserve to block it, the escape of the swarms of various troops would not be so embarrassing now.
The scolded Philel replied breathlessly: "Colonel, we are already very fast. But with two legs on the road, how can we run to win four legs?"
It can be seen that this is a force of a small state. Only the troops of small states, officers and soldiers can get along so casually.
The middle-aged officer scolded sharply: "You are stupid, Philil. How many French cavalry, so many soldiers on the frontline, are they busy?"
The facts once again confirmed the truth of the battlefield escape truth that "it doesn't matter if you run away from the enemy, you only need to run past your allies."
Because of historical issues, the relations between the German states are not as harmonious as they seem to be, and there is no pressure to lose allies to run Colonel Lane.
Nor can it be considered lost. Now that everyone is rushing to escape, the front line is gone, and the situation on the battlefield has been completely eroded. It is simply not a small unit of "Bremen Hansa" that can be reversed.
Being able to run along with the troops without riding a horse on his own, Colonel Lane is also doing his due diligence.
Perhaps they ran fast enough, or perhaps their desire to survive touched God, and they ran all the way from Luxembourg to Koblenz without encountering the French.
Here, the escape journey is also declared over. Seeing the Austrian flag set in front, Colonel Lein breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step forward to negotiate, a loud voice rang.
"Report the number of the army, the name of the commander!"
It was a young military officer who was speaking, holding a small book in his hand, and behind him were a group of soldiers waiting in line.
Facing the ten muzzles, anyone will feel uncomfortable, and Colonel Ryan is no exception. Frowning, he replied: "The Bremen Hansa Defence Force, Commander Colonel Ryan!"
The specific number is not needed. The free city of Hanseatic in Bremen has a larger township. It is nothing more than a prosperous business and a denser population.
The total number of troops participating in this war is just a few hundred. The establishment of a strengthened battalion is enough, and it is much more convenient to directly register the country name than the number.
Perhaps aware of the poor image of his party, Lane emphasized his identity as a colonel, hoping to get better treatment.
Frankly speaking, Ryan is not satisfied with his status as a colonel. Look at the top commanders sent by other states are generals, and he is a colonel, and everyone standing together is inferior.
Regrettably, domestic parliamentarians did not agree, and resolutely suppressed the rank of his military "big brother" at the school level on the grounds that he had no merit.
Hearing the word "Colonel", the young officer was very polite. After all, everyone is an ally, and they still recognize each other's military ranks, even if there is a lot of water in it.
"Excuse me, Colonel, in what year did you join the army and what occupation did you take before joining the army?"
During routine cross-examination, Colonel Ryan looked embarrassed and replied bitterly: "I joined the army three months ago, and I was responsible for the security work of Bremen before joining the army."
There is no way that Bremen is too small for Hanseatic, and it can't afford a standing army at all. Generally speaking, it is all part-time work of the domestic police.
Perhaps because of his concern that his resume is not light enough, and Colonel Lane added: "When I was young, I also served as a mercenary commander and once fought against the British in South Africa."
It was precisely because he had been on the battlefield that Ryan was able to stand out from many rookie competitors and become the commander of this unit.
The young officer opened the small book, quickly searched it, and after a moment of effort, said with a smile: "There is no problem with the information.
Colonel Ryan, on behalf of the coalition headquarters, I welcome your return. "
Hearing "return to the team," Colonel Ryan's face suddenly became unnatural. There is no doubt that they are legally incorporated.
After hesitating again and again, Colonel Lane said bitterly, "Your Excellency, we have just failed on the front line. Now the morale of the army is completely lacking, and the troops need to take the necessary rest.
There is no way. In Luxembourg, many small nations reported to the delegation together. They had enough confidence to speak with the commanders appointed by the central government.
No longer now, the troops have been broken up. The most true portrayal of soldiers who do not know soldiers and who do not know soldiers.
The coalition headquarters now gathers the collapsed soldiers, and will certainly not try to help them resume their establishment. As long as the commander is not stupid, he knows to seize the opportunity to take command of the troops.
Reorganizing the broken soldiers and splitting up the military system based on the state, he lost his bargaining power.
For the overall situation, this is the most advantageous, as it can integrate forces and exert maximum fighting power.
However, from the standpoint of individuals or small states, the situation is quite different. This means that they will lose their right to speak in the coalition forces.
In theory, this kind of thing is handled by the German Federal Government, which is more logical. After all, it is the jurisprudential central government that has the unifying power to unify the following states.
The coalition headquarters jumped out to gather and reorganize the soldiers, but there was still some overtaking. However, this is a minor problem, and now the German headquarters is in a state of chaos, and can't even take care of it here.
When they responded, the established facts were created, and then they wanted to take back command from Austria, they could only go to the Vienna government to fight the diplomatic affairs.
What seemed to come to mind, the young military officer reassured: "Colonel, don't worry, you won't have a combat mission in the short term.
Now you should go to the camp to take a shower, get a good night's sleep, keep your feet up and wait for the order. "
With his arms thigh-less, he looked at the tired soldier behind him and Colonel Lane nodded helplessly.
