Chapter 122: Fighting on Two Fronts?

The resilience of the Prussian soldiers was very good, not only firmly blocking the elite Austrian cavalry who had just defeated their own cavalry troops, but also killing two key Austrian cavalry generals in the battle!

The general-level commander died on the battlefield, which still surprised Zhao Dutian a little, those European nobles are really willing to take the lead for honor!

Moreover, the Prussian artillery units, also in the brave battles of the infantry, constantly fired a large number of shells, completely disrupting the offensive formation of the Austrian army!

Eventually, the Austrian field marshal had no choice but to withdraw his troops after his own army had been repulsed, and interestingly, by the time Frederick, the king, returned to the battlefield, the Prussian army had already won......

This battle was won not by the command of the commander-in-chief, but by the courage of the Prussian soldiers and the discipline of training in peacetime!

After Frederick the Great's victory, he did not continue his march, even though the Kingdom of Austria did not have many troops to resist the Prussian army......

Frederick the Great was not greedy, he really just wanted to get Silesia, because Frederick the Great did not want to fight alone with the seemingly powerful Holy Roman Empire!

The latter evaluations of Frederick were summarized by the intelligence chief of the secret service based on the news of the war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Dutian didn't care too much about what he thought of Frederick's character, what he noticed was that in this battle of tens of thousands of people, the training level of the army was actually above the commander's command art!

This point made Zhao Dutian very interested!

In fact, in the period of World War I and World War II, the commanders were more about making strategic command adjustments, and whether they could defeat the same number of enemies on the battlefield no longer depended on the commander's deployment and command, but more on the equipment and the elite degree of the army soldiers, and the will to fight!

Staff officers and generals, as long as you put the right army in the right position and attack the enemy you can defeat, you can win the war!

It seems simple, but in fact, anyone who can do this can basically be called a god of war......

At that time, the Soviet Red Army broke out beyond the combat effectiveness of the German high command, which led to the German army being put in front of the invincible enemy, and as a result, it was dragged into a war of attrition, completely lost the strategic initiative, and finally led to defeat!

No one will accuse the German soldiers of fighting poorly, everyone will only say that the German general and the mustache, blindly commanded, let millions of German elites attack Stalingrad, which was garrisoned by a group of brainwashed madmen......

However, before the attack on Stalingrad, who would have thought that the Soviet Red Army could really make the German mechanized army that swept through Europe completely in this city?

This is a strategic problem, it is not difficult to understand your own army, but to understand the strength of the enemy's army, it is easy to be exposed as a 'dark horse'!

If in the history of World War II, the Soviet Red Army had not burst out with such awesome combat effectiveness and did not hold Stalingrad, perhaps, Hitler would have won the victory!

The geographical location of Stalingrad is very important, it is not only a symbol of the red regime of the Soviet Union, but also a dependence on whether the red giant of the Soviet Union can hold on!

The loss of Stalingrad meant for the USSR at that time the prospect of the Soviet industrial elite in part of Europe being completely surrounded and occupied by the German army, and by that time the war potential of the USSR would have been reduced by at least half!

It can be said that strategically, taking Stalingrad, Hitler's battle against the USSR, is already invincible!

Of course, this is all if, in the history of Zhao Dutian's previous life, the German army was defeated and annihilated, so Hitler committed suicide......

Hitler was blinded by hatred and previous victories, and did not see clearly how crazy the Soviet Red Army under Stalin was, and died unjustly!

――――

When news of the defeat of the Austrian army in the European theater reached the Austrian royal palace, Maria Theresia was having given birth to a child in confinement, and her only hope seemed to be foreign aid because of the weakening of her military and financial resources.

The information given by the secret service is quite detailed, which points out that this strong woman, despite her physical weakness during confinement, ran around asking for help from the countries that once supported her accession to the throne!

As a result, with the exception of the British envoy who gave Leah Theresia a sum of pounds (the exact amount was not found by the Secret Service...... Although other countries agreed to send reinforcements, they were extremely slow to send troops, and they were obviously on the sidelines and hesitating!

Seeing that the two feuds - the Habsburgs and the British Empire - there was a desire to unite, the French hurriedly co-opted allies, and united with Bavaria, Prussia and Bourbon Spain!

Intended to jointly divide the territory of the Habsburgs!

At some cost, the Secret Service learned that the King of France seemed intent on leaving only Maria Theresia an Austrian homeland for the last time......

This is the equivalent of destroying the Holy Roman Empire as a whole in name!

Zhao Dutian put down the information and thought about it, he didn't care about Maria Theresia's life or death, he only knew that the current European powers, the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, and they no longer have the time to take care of themselves, do they want to take advantage of this time to concurrently attack Louisiana, or fight the declining Spain?

If you compare the strength, it is obvious that Spain is better to beat, but if Zhao Dutian wants to fight, it is to the end, he is really a little afraid of beating South America into a wave of independence!

And now the French and the Spaniards are clearly united, and if they beat the Spanish themselves, the French behind them will definitely send troops!

When the time comes, it will basically be a two-front battle!

Fighting on two fronts sounds very awesome and invincible, but when it is really put at the national level, fighting on two fronts is actually the best prerequisite for defeat......

The Russian Empire in history has always avoided fighting on two fronts, and it is by no means that the greedy guys of the Russian Empire are not brave enough, but because they are not stupid!

Looking at the territory of the Russian Empire, which is the first in the world, it is really, I have to say, in terms of annexing land, the Russians have done a very good job!

You know, the Russia of later generations is the legacy of the Soviet Union after the collapse!

The Soviet Union was the territory of the Russian Empire at its peak!

After the disintegration of Russia, the essence of Europe, a lot has been lost!

It's really distressing, the European battlefield is in full swing, but the enemies on both sides of themselves are like sibling alliances......

Hey, let's continue with my naval plan, no matter how fierce the Europeans fight, they are countless times stronger than the rest of the world!
