The seaside city of Danzig, in fact, fell into the hands of the Prussians not long ago, the Poles called this place Gdansk, which was previously the land of Poland, in fact, Prussia, formerly known as the Teutonic Knights, was not a vassal under the Polish throne before, but the world changed, Prussia finally had the strength to carve up Poland, and now it is Prussia's turn to be unlucky.

Prussian Field Marshal Karl I was in the cellar, listening to the rumbling outside and the shaking of the earth, and let out a long sigh.

"We can't hold it." Karl I asserted pessimistically.

In the past few days, the artillery fire from the sea has not stopped, and outside the city is besieged by Blucher's 120,000-strong army, and the Prussian army is panicked, and it is not at all like a war. Speaking of which, Karl I's current status as the Duke of Braunschweig is just a fictitious title, and his fief has long been occupied by Germany, and now there are many Braunschweig people in the German army to oppose his former lord. Having lost their own territory, Karl I and his brother were basically tied to Prussia for their well-being, but unfortunately Prussia is now also in the verge of collapse.

Although the Austrians promised to help Prussia, the Austrians were also somewhat difficult to protect themselves, and the French tried to attack northern Italy, an area of Austrian influence, and the Austrian army from the Czech Republic was desperately blocked by the Germans, although the Austrians also sent troops from Slovakia and other places to prepare to join the Prussian side, but they were also blocked by the army led by the Polish national revolution Koschciuszko.

Prussia's only hope now was to be able to unite its Russian and Austrian armies in a general battle with Germany, defeat them, and protect their existence.

But the area where the battle was expected to break out was to be in Poland or East Prussia, not Danzig, which was now completely isolated and had no strength to relieve Karl I and his tens of thousands of Prussian troops.

Not only were the Prussian soldiers of Karl I sleepy, but the local Poles were constantly harassing the Prussian army. Not most of the inhabitants were Poles, and of course there were many Germans, but the majority of Germans did not support Prussia, but Germany which was closer to the civilian population, so the Prussian army had to defend not only against the enemy, but even from ordinary people.

Immediately after the bombardment was over, Karl I sent people to meet Blücher, who said that the Prussian army he led could surrender to the Germans, but hoped that Blucher would give dignity to the Prussian soldiers who surrendered.

A day later, under the city of Danzig, the Prussian soldiers who had laid down their arms were taken away by the Germans in droves, and they were to be sent to the prisoner of war camp in Brandenburg, where the German prisoner of war had always been a good place to reform surrendered soldiers, and many of the enemy prisoners who had undergone ideological reform eventually became internationalist fighters. Originally, everyone was German, and the war also had the nature of a civil war, so the psychological pressure of surrendering was not great. In fact, at this time, even if the armies of different nationalities surrender and follow others as puppet soldiers, it is very normal to do so.

Blucher met Karl I, whom he had been friends with for a long time, and the marshal was not depressed at this time, but still maintained his aristocratic demeanor. Before going to the Tang Dynasty, Blucher also used to be efficient in the Prussian army, and there was a distance from a big man like Karl I, but he didn't expect to accept Karl I's surrender by himself now.

Karl I, of course, knew about Blucher's past, and he sighed: "Such a brilliant figure as you, Marshal, the Prussian army did not find out, and it may be the greatest mistake of Prussia." ”

Blucher shook his head and said: "The German army can defeat the Prussian army, it has little to do with me, what is really strong is every soldier, it is the belief in their hearts, how Prussia can not defeat us." ”

Saying that, he looked at Karl I with some curiosity and asked, "I heard that Marshal you do not plan to return to Königsberg, but obey our house arrest request, why is that?" ”

Karl I laughed at himself a little and said: "Although it is said that the nobles can be released by paying a ransom, but you nobles do not exist in Germany at all, and you do not eat this set, so why should I humiliate myself." Moreover, I have fought against you three times and twice, and have never been able to achieve victory, and even if I return to Königsberg, I will not have the continued confidence of His Majesty, and I have no confidence in defeating you, so why should I bother to bother again, and be willing to be a prisoner. ”

Blucher didn't expect this person to be so open-minded, Karl I's military level was still there, but it was more of an old thing, which no longer played a role in the contemporary battlefield.

Then Blucher lost his negotiability, and naturally important prisoners of war such as Karl I were sent to Hamburg, where they would await further processing.

Blücher looked at the glad Prussian soldiers in front of him who did not have a trace of brilliance on their faces, and even the lucky ones who were captured, and he was also a little stunned. At first, he thought that the Prussian army was the most powerful army in Europe, but in more than ten years, Prussia had eroded into what it is now. On the other hand, Blucher led the Prussian army against Napoleon. In the early stage, the Prussian army was also defeated in successive battles, and in the end, it was Scharnhorst and others who carried out comprehensive reform and training for the Prussian army, which made the Prussian army truly become a powerful army in later generations.

A short time later, Blucher met with a representative of the Polish People's Revolutionary Army. There are actually two resistance forces in Poland today, one of which is led by Joseph? The official rebel army led by Prince Poniatowski, and the Polish People's Revolutionary Army led by the Polish National Revolution. In fact, a considerable number of people in the Polish People's Revolutionary Army were Polish troops before, but they changed their names after Kościuszko raised the banner of the National Revolution.

The representative of the Polish People's Revolutionary Army first paid tribute to Blucher, and then explained his intentions: "The leader asked me to inform Your Excellency the Marshal that the Austrian army of 100,000 has crossed the border and marched into Warsaw, that the troops led by Prince Poniatowski have been defeated and are retreating, and that our People's Revolutionary Army is not strong enough to resist the Austrian army, and can only resort to guerrilla harassment." The worse news is that the commander of the Russian occupation forces, Eaglestrom, is also preparing to join the Austrian army in Warsaw, with an army of 130,000 men, and inspired by this intelligence, even the King of Prussia intends to send the last army of more than 40,000 to march south, and we are facing an unprecedented crisis!
