Chapter 203: The Beginning of the Alliance
Colorful huge arched windows and doors, walls inlaid with lenses, and huge oil paintings displayed on the vaulted ceiling of the Hall of Mirrors, Madame de Pompadour, wearing a court 'mopping skirt', stood quietly in front of the window, admiring the beautiful sea of flowers outside the window.

"Zhao Dutian's elite, how many of them remain in North America?" A slightly soft and charming voice spits out of the mouth of Pumpaduff, and even if you reach middle age, the voice is full of temptation like a young girl!
A man wearing a court dress next to him bowed his head respectfully and replied: "The core guard of the Han Empire, one is stationed in the military camp built on the border of the Tucson Fortress, and the other is stationed in Xinluoyang, the capital of the Han Empire, and the Polish hussars are used as a teaching regiment to train lancer troops for the Han Empire!"
In addition, the elite of the Han Empire were all sent to Japan, and the Han Empire sent a total of 3 large-scale ocean-going fleets to transport these troops! ”
"Oh? In other words, there are only more than 20,000 elites left in Zhao Dutian's homeland. ”
"Yes, Marquise."
"Well, I see, is there anything else?"
"Marquise, Queen Maria Theresa of Austria is planning to see you at Versailles in the near future, and the Austrian envoy who came first has already presented a gift list......"
Madame de Pompadour frowned slightly, and said, "Well, I'll meet her." ”
Fiderick, you are a villain who has no faith in his words and is full of nonsense, and you really think that the whole world is stupid?
Hehe, he actually fornicated with the British behind France's back, and I think that this covenant, which continued in the War of the Austrian Succession, needs to be revised!
Madame de Pompadour's mind was darkly swirling.
Madame Pompadour, who had long been unleashed on Frederick and insulted herself for being bored with His Majesty in skirts, had had enough of the alliance with Prussia, an army power, and in the last war for the Austrian throne, Frederick's behavior was completely stinky among the French people, and this time she hooked up with the century-old feud of England, and Madame de Pompadour finally found a breakthrough and could take revenge on Frederick, the sinister villain!
This time the olive branch from the Queen of Austria was in the arms of Madame de Pompadour, who, after the last war, had reversed the situation and completely mastered the Holy Roman Empire, preoccupied with reforms, winning powerful alliances and recovering an army that was close to disintegration, and she often toured the army camps and traveled to Bohemia, Moravia, and Olmetz; She encouraged the morale of the army with her pay, rank, and even more often with the royal ranks, and with the presence of women, and the generals did not have to declare allegiance to her, for it was inherent in their blood, and in chivalry; Therefore, the Prince of Liechtenstein spent 200,000 yuan of his fortune to form a fully equipped artillery unit for her free of charge. She set up a war college named after her on the outskirts of Vienna to train young nobles and to prepare her staff officers with the best teachers in geometry, geography, fortifications, and history.
Madame de Pompadour took a fancy to Austria not only because of the resurgence of their armies, but also because Queen Maria Theresa had communicated with the Russian Tsar to form an alliance against Prussia, which was allied with Great Britain!
Russia, Austria, and France will become a big encirclement, firmly sandwiching Prussia in the middle, attacking from three sides, and at that time, even if Frederick is the reincarnation of the god of war, he will never be able to stop it!
Thinking of this, Madame de Pompadour's mouth couldn't help but draw a smile, this greedy and warlike Prussian Emperor was finally about to usher in his end!
At the same time, Madame de Pompadour's eyes looked in the direction of North America to the west, and muttered to herself: "Most of the forces of the Han Empire have been invested in the conquest of Japan, and this time, Zhao Dutian should not have the strength to wage war against my colony." ”
The undercurrent of the European continent is surging Zhao Dutian naturally can't know, although the speed of development of the secret service in Europe is quite good, but it is only a sieve-like civilian intelligence network, the real core palace intelligence, the secret service is still at a loss, Britain and Prussia have only just begun to contact, and have not yet formally signed the alliance, and the Austrian queen has only begun to adopt the foreign policy of Prince Kaunitz-Ritterberg - reversing the alliance!
However, Zhao Dutian couldn't get the secrets of the countries on the European continent, but the British obviously didn't want to let the Han Empire stay out of the matter!
Zhao Dutian's old acquaintance, Special Envoy George Macartney, has once again come to the palace in New Luoyang!
"Your Majesty, my prophecy is about to come true, and the old Prime Minister Pete has been shouting about war in parliament all day long, shouting for the expulsion of the French from India, and that group of parliamentarians has even passed the whimsical bill to draw Prussia together against France, and they will not be able to become the queen of Austria?"
Zhao Dutian picked up the legendary French imported wine poured by the maid unhurriedly, smashed his mouth, and didn't drink the imported goods......
However, foreigners are good at this, so out of courtesy, every time George Macartney's envoy comes, Zhao Dutian will instruct his servants to prepare some wine entertainment that foreigners like......
"Perhaps, your alliance with Austria is indestructible, so the old Prime Minister Pitt will make this suggestion, at least from the map, united with Prussia, with the addition of Britain's traditional allies, Austria, the Tsarist Empire, and the Kingdom of Sardinia, can form a three-sided attack on the French, and win an undefeated situation."
"Hey~ The hatred between the Queen of Austria and Frederick of Prussia is not something that can be remedied by national interests, I know Queen Maria Theresa very well, the union of Old Pitt and Prussia will only give Queen Maria Theresa a wonderful excuse to kick away our British Empire and unite with the French against Prussia!"
"Uh~ I remember that Prussia and the French have been allies for hundreds of years, will they turn their guns so easily?"
George Macartney glanced at Zhao Dutian and sighed: "Your Majesty, you don't have to hide it, if our British Empire is unlucky, do you think the French will let go of the Han Empire after victory?"
The current Spanish royal family was raised by the French Bourbon dynasty, it can be said that Spain and the French are natural allies, once there is no containment of our British, the Han Empire will face the crisis of fighting on two fronts! ”
Zhao Dutian's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Your Excellency, what do you want me to do?" (To be continued.) )
