In the end, the puzzled Hannover recruits understood the key to fighting, which was not to fight for freedom, equality, fraternity, but for their own lives!

If he doesn't kill, he will be killed, so he has to shoot, he has to fight hard!

The Hannover recruit felt very aggrieved and sad, but it didn't take long for this Hannover recruit to no longer have to think about such complicated things, because he was buried on that battlefield forever......

The Prussians, by virtue of their numerical superiority in military strength, in the early war, with the tactics of breaking one by one, concentrated their forces to defeat the main forces of the Republic of Hanover and the Republic of Saxony one by one, but unfortunately, they could not kill the supreme commanders of these two republics, and those commanders who fled from their homeland, with the support of their allies, relied on their own prestige to constantly incite riots in the occupied areas of Hanover and Saxony, and at the same time, other republics took the opportunity to attack the weak points of the Prussian army, making the German Republic miserable!

Gradually, the generals of the Germanic republics, feeling their own crisis, tried their best to fight the powerful revolutionary army of the German Republic, and the war turned into a tragic war of attrition!

The civil war between the revolutionary armies greatly shaken the revolutionary faith of the lower-class soldiers, the soldiers' attacks and charges became no longer brave, and most of the soldiers began to become afraid of death and became afraid of guns and bullets!

The generals had to increase the investment and brutal military discipline of the warlords to maintain the soldiers' will to attack and resist!

It is a pity that this imposed combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the revolutionary army, which originally relied on faith and fanaticism, and after the high-level of the republic found out about this situation, they were helpless, and the land that should have been divided has long been divided, which is also the reason why the lower soldiers of the republic did not mutiny. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Even if the soldiers are war-weary, at least their families have indeed received gifts from the Republic, and most of the soldiers are still unwilling to aim their guns at the Republic!

As for the slogan of unifying the country and an independent nation put forward by the top level of the republic, it is too empty and looks so pale in the face of the cruelty of war.

Freedom, equality, and fraternity also made the soldiers of the revolutionary army numb to their ears, because they had gained freedom and equality, but they were still fighting and shedding blood for one reason or another of the generals!

As for the slogan of fraternity, it has become a joke among the lower classes of soldiers, if it is fraternity, why should the republics that belong to the same revolutionary army have civil wars?

The offensive of the German Republic became weak, the resistance of the other small republics was not satisfactory, the war between the two sides became inexorable, and without the high morale bonus, it became difficult to break through the layers of fortifications with the backward flintlock pistols alone!

The perennial war has caused a large number of heavy weapons to be lost in the armies of various countries, a large number of factories have been damaged, and the youth has become soldiers and soldiers, and the production capacity has never been increased!

Similarly, the Austrian Revolutionary Army was also facing the problem of low morale, especially the bloody guerrilla warfare in Hungary, which made the Austrian government miserable!

The best situation is the French Directory, as the initiator of the revolution, the French people are the most experienced, the revolutionary belief is also the firmest, freedom, equality, fraternity slogans are no longer enough to attract people's hearts, but the Directory and even the French Revolutionary Army have a higher ideal, that is, to establish a big French Republic, take advantage of this golden opportunity, the French people's living space to expand to the greatest extent!

Therefore, the morale of the French Revolutionary Army is the highest among the republics!

But!

The French have too much appetite, and the resistance of the occupied areas is also the most serious, and the large Pyrenees Peninsula involves a large amount of military strength of the French, although the French Directory promised to help the German Republic maintain unity, but to help the allies and themselves stabilize the occupied areas, after all, there is an essential difference, and the greatest energy of the French is still on the Spanish occupation zone!

As a result, the military assistance of France and Austria to the German Republic has become unhurried, and the military strength paid cannot break the military alliance of the small Germanic countries!

The French were fed up with the resistance of the Pyrenees, and the French army stationed in Spain became more and more brutal, because the French Directory did not want to consume the few supplies left in the suppression, and began to let the French Revolutionary Army be resupplied on the spot!

Because a large number of comrades died at the hands of the Spanish guerrillas, the French Revolutionary Army became rude and murderous to the Spanish civilians, and as a result, more and more Spaniards became guerrilla fighters who resisted the French invasion!

The French Directory solved the logistical problems, but the riots in Spain intensified!

The European Civil War, which was fought into a pot of porridge, continued to consume the fragile revolutionary faith, until after a large number of revolutionary soldiers died due to the civil war, the civilians and soldiers of the lower classes suddenly realized that this was no longer a glorious revolutionary war, but a meaningless consumption of life!

The lower-class commoners who endured the civil war found that the standard of living in Europe after the revolution was not as good as the era when the aristocracy oppressed their heads!

Is the revolution right or wrong?

Many of the suffering poor people of continental Europe began to reflect on this question, and in their reflection, the revolutionary faith collapsed!

It was at this time that the Monarchical Alliance, led by the British, secretly reached a friendly consensus with the weak partisans and the Republic, and signed an agreement to jointly destroy the three major revolutionary allies under the bait of recognizing their national independence and military help!

And the Han Empire led by Zhao Dutian was part of the signing of this agreement!

At the end of the 55th year of the Han Dynasty, the civil war in the republics on the European continent had reached a period of exhaustion, and those small Germanic republics were ultimately limited in national strength and had been exhausted to the stage of exhaustion.

The Entente of Monarchies, consisting of the English Empire, the Han Empire, the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Kingdom of Norway, etc., finally could not wait any longer, they could not watch the European continent being truly united by the three major alliances of the revolution!

With the coalition of the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden, and the Kingdom of Norway taking the lead in launching a military offensive against Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine, it heralded the dawn of peace on the European continent, which had been ravaged by war for several years!

After appealing to the three monarchies to enter the war, the Ottoman Turkish Empire entered the war against the Republic of Austria in the name of assisting the Hungarians in national independence!

The British Empire even claimed that it would carry out a forced landing in the area controlled by the Revolutionary Alliance!

And Zhao Dutian's men and horses, with the help of the British, came to the periphery of the Pyrenees!
