Vienna. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's been almost a month since the coup, but the atmosphere in the city is still a little tense.

The barricades and roadblocks of the city have been removed, the blockade and search have ended, and only a few French soldiers patrol the streets to and fro, maintaining the law and order of the ancient city.

It's just that the citizens of Vienna are often in a hurry on the streets, the chairs outside the cafés are empty, and the artists who paint and play on the streets are very rare, and even if they do, they are mostly in parks, rivers and other secluded places, rather than going to the central square as usual.

The Vienna Conservatory and the Academy of Arts in the east of the city are also closed, and few people enter or leave, and even the occasional music coming out of the campus is not as light and lively as usual, but very negative and pessimistic.

The mottled blood stains under the gallows in the central square have long been washed away by the heavy rain of the previous days, but few people are still willing to approach, as if they hate the residual smell of blood here.

In front of the Hofburg Palace behind the square, groups of elite French soldiers are silently guarding the palace, leading some slaughter for this long-uninhabited palace.

In the Hofburg Palace, in one of the most lavishly decorated palaces, two beautiful ladies are enjoying their afternoon tea.

"Alas, after so many days of hard work, I finally have time to sit down and have a cup of tea. Miss Sophie relaxed into Thor's chair, tired on her face.

"yes, it's been a busy few days. The Grand Duke Louisa on the opposite side also sighed: "But these are worth it!"

"Now that Your Majesty has crossed the Rhine and broken through the three barriers in a row, according to the current momentum, if nothing else, you will be able to reach Berlin in another month!

"I can't believe it all going so well, it's like a dream, I can't believe it now. Grand Duke Louisa's eyes were full of admiration: "It really deserves to be the first undefeated military god in the mainland, I originally thought that it would take at least half a year." ”

"Of course, our Majesty Napoleon is the greatest man of all time in France! Miss Sophie's eyes lit up like two burning fires: "Germany just looks strong, but it is already rotten and incompetent to the bones, and to His Majesty the Emperor, it is not an opponent at all!"

After sighing for a while, Grand Duke Louisa looked worried, "However, I feel that this plan is a bit dangerous now, although we have Austria to support the logistics, but is it too risky to go north so alone and go deep into the enemy territory......?"

"No whatever!" Mademoiselle Sophie interrupted her with a frown: "Everything is in the hands of His Majesty Napoleon! Now that the elite of the three main armies of France have lost to the bottom of the river, and there is not one in ten who have escaped for their lives, and now all the second-line troops in various German cities, the private armies of the nobility, and the recruits who have not undergone systematic training are all at the bottom of the combat power. And we went north this time are the elite of the French Revolutionary Army, most of them are veterans of a hundred battles, rich in actual combat experience, whether their own strength or the tacit understanding between each other, they are far above the German rabble, and their only remaining First Army can fight a little. However, the First Army Corps held Berlin, and with the character of the Kaiser, he would not send them out, so to speak, all the obstacles along the way to Berlin could be broken in one battle! At most, it would take a while to attack the city. ”

"That's ......" Grand Duke Louisa nodded, and then asked: "However, I heard that the Northern Legion of Germany guarding the northern border is also very elite, with more than 80,000 people, and their legion leader Faust is still a peerless powerhouse of the Martial Saint level, what if the Emperor transfers the Northern Legion back to the front line and blocks your Majesty?"

Listening to her speculation, Miss Sophie laughed: "Hehe, the Kaiser will not transfer them back." First, the Field Marshal Faustus was strong, but he had always had a gap with the Kaiser, and he could not be trusted, not reused, and the Kaiser was unwilling to use the Northern Army unless absolutely necessary. Second, the Northern Army is located in the northernmost part of Germany, and if it wants to transfer troops to the southern front, it may not be in time for it, and even if it can be reached, eighty percent of our army will already be under the city of Berlin. Thirdly, the German Imperial Palace is not full of fools, and if you want to compare and transfer them to the southern front, it is better to let them directly attack our French mainland. After all, the north of Germany borders our France, doesn't it?"

"What if the Kaiser really let them attack France proper?

"Don't panic, don't panic, Your Majesty has already expected this!" Miss Sophie still smiled: "Your Majesty, he has already arranged it!"

"Scheduled?" asked Archduke Louisa, surprised as he sat down on the chair hill again.

"Of course, our majesty Napoleon never fights unprepared! Before every war, he makes a detailed analysis of all possibilities to be in order! This time is no exception!" Miss Sophie's eyes were full of wistfulness, but she did not explain much.

"Oh, so I'm relieved. Patting his huge breast, Grand Duke Louisa let out a sigh of relief.

"Of course, now that Your Majesty is fighting on the front line, we can't be idle. Miss Sophie said seriously: "Now the support for you in Austria is still very low, and many people are complaining, and if you continue to do this, it will not be conducive to future rule." ”

"Alas, I'm also working hard, except for those German officials who had to kill before, I try to spare their lives as much as possible. Moreover, for example, this collection of grain and grass materials, I did not expropriate violently, I paid real money, and promised a lot of benefits to those city lords and nobles, just asking for a smooth and stable one. I have not made much changes to various domestic policies, and I have tried to keep them as they are, and I have also prepared plans to reduce taxes and burdens and win the hearts of the people. But it's not going to work for a while. Grand Duke Louisa sighed, her face full of helplessness.

"Alas, it's only to blame that your father's reputation was too bad at the beginning, and then the Germans did a good job, and when the two are compared, the people's hearts are towards outsiders!" Miss Sophie also sighed: "Forget it, let's take our time, after all, Germany has spent ten years, and after another ten years, there must be no more mention of Germany." ”

Grand Duke Luisa nodded and agreed: "Well, I understand, I'm going to ......"

But before she could finish speaking, she heard a commotion outside.

Then there were two huge bangs, "Knock!" and "Knock!", like a meteorite falling to the ground, making the whole palace shake.
