University of Vienna Falls Behind

"That general, I only give [-] troops, and I want to solve it in a month."

In any case, Anna could not take the initiative to declare war.

Especially for Austria.

The biggest opponent of the German-Austrian merger is not Britain and France, but Italy. This is also normal. If Germany and Austria merge, the border between Deta and Italy will be directly linked. No one can guarantee whether the Deta Empire will be against the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. territory to be recovered.

Italy can't let Germany and Austria merge.

According to the original history, when Mussolini learned that Adolph wanted to merge Germany and Austria, he directly sent three divisions to guard the border. He also relied on the constant communication between Adolph and Mussolini before Mussolini agreed. .

Now Anna wouldn't do that.

To be precise, Anna deliberately provoked Mussolini. If Mussolini wanted to fight Deta, it would be the best. This is one of the reasons why Anna has not expanded his army.

Today, Deta has only [-] troops on paper.

In Italy, there are only 30 soldiers plus black shirts, and 50 soldiers can come out if they are violent.

This is why Anna said 10 to 50.

It was not the Italian army that hindered the German advance, but the terrain.

Anna thinks that she is being a little too conservative.

General Hindenburg nodded to Anna. For General Hindenburg, this kind of fighting with less was as simple as eating.

"I will dedicate the victory to you, without a doubt, Your Highness."

Playing more with less is the norm for Deta.

Haven't fought several times the strength of the German army, but also embarrassed to be called the general of Prussia?If General Deta, who is still defeated by the same force, can kill himself ashamed instead of saying his apology.If you are beaten by others with less, then you don't have to come back and expel yourself from Germany.

You must know that the best way to praise a country for its abundance of military virtues is, for example, Prussia in the Balkans, or Prussia in South America.

A mere one-to-five force.

Or the complete crushing of military quality and military equipment.

Anna doesn't care, after all, it's just an Italy, and whether Italy dares to go to war is two different things.

"Another question, General, I want you to conquer Europe for me. How many troops do you want?"

General Hindenburg frowned.

He clenched the cane in his hand.

"It would be a very unfavorable situation for us if we were caught in a full-fledged battle, and it was precisely because of the two-line battle that we failed in the world war."

"You know Delta's past better than I do. Even if we don't want to be caught in a full-scale battle, we must always be prepared for a full-scale battle."

General Hindenburg certainly understood this.

"I will train our troops on the standard of fighting on all fronts, but I still can't give you an accurate answer."

Anna sat upright in the chair.

Staring straight at the imperial veteran.

Then he slowly spoke to General Hindenburg.

"Italy is a good testing ground, General, let the young officers play."

.......

"Does your Highness think that I am old?"

General Hindenburg stood up directly and said unconvinced.

Really old.

General Hindenburg is now 80 years old.

But as a soldier, Hindenburg did not want to admit that he was getting old anyway.

Anna just reluctantly raised her head to look at General Hindenburg.

"I'll listen to you."

General Hindenburg held the cane of the cane, as if using all his strength, the solid wood cane was squeezed out of handprints, and he looked down at Anna's eyes.

then.

He lost.

Or that it was impossible to win from the beginning.

He couldn't win against his little princess.

General Hindenburg took a deep breath.

"What kind of future do you want?"

"General, militarism will end in our era."

"No! Prussia..."

"I don't mean to deny the Prussian past, just that militarism has become our hands and feet, and it makes me sad."

Militarism is not a good word for Prussia.

Maybe for other countries, they will feel the strength of Prussia, but for Prussia, it is a bloody past.

Prussia was officially born from Brandenburg-Prussia in the Thirty Years' War in 1618.

The newly born Prussia didn't even have a complete territory, it was just a kingdom gathered from several divided lands, and Europe was almost collapsed after a 30-year war, and the troops from France, Sweden, and Denmark ravaged the entire Delta region After reading it again, it also made Prussia with a very poor geographical location precarious.

Not Prussia chose militarism.

Rather, militarism chose Prussia.

As a small country, Prussia is bordered by France to the west, Habsburg Austria to the south, Tsarist Russia to the east, and Denmark and Sweden to the north. come out.

At that time, no one thought that a mere Prussia would become the hegemon that swept across Europe.

In order to ensure the existence of Prussia, the army has become the only pillar that Prussia relies on. For Prussia, the army is everything. Without the army, there will be no peaceful and stable national development and development, and there will be no stable life. Everything serves the army, and all policies and laws They are also designed to strengthen this army.

This is why Prussia is said to be an army-owned country.

The Seven Years' War in 1756.

This war is called World War 0.

Prussia was going to face the flanking attacks of Austria, France, Tsarist Russia, and Sweden, and the only aid was the hard-to-reach British overseas supplies. In the end, the war lasted for seven years.The hegemony of France on the European continent was destroyed, the French monarchy was destroyed, the French colonies of Canada were destroyed, and the newly emerging French navy was destroyed.Destroyed Austria's Shinra fantasy, and the Habsburgs were in debt, and Austria and Hungary could no longer be assimilated, and it also affected the Austro-Hungarian Empire into a mess.Destroyed the Swedish government, but also beat Tsarist Russia nothing.

The worst of them is naturally Prussia, which was surrounded by four bread. A total of 20 troops died 18. The number of Prussian casualties reached half of the total number of battlefield casualties. The Napoleonic Wars were breathless.

Until Bismarck became prime minister in 1862, the Prussian War in 1864, the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, and the Franco-Prussian War in 1870.

In 1871 the Deta Second Empire was formally established.

of course.

In order to maintain the existence of the army, at the time of Frederick the Great, the military expenditure of the entire Prussia reached three-fifths of the total national expenditure, and at the highest it reached four-fifths. This is why Anna dared to directly pour 300 billion marks into the military industry system. , which is the tradition of Deta going deep into the bone marrow.

Militarism also brought an unbearable burden to the empire, such as on the road of war that could no longer be stopped.

The First World War is the best proof.

Today's Deta Empire has become the No. [-] in education, economy, industry, technology, and medical care in Europe. Deta can even complete the conquest of Europe only in the form of economy without war. Today's Deta can do it.

The army is only to ensure the stable and prosperous existence of the Deta Empire.

It is no longer an army-owned country.

Nor can it be.

And as the spokesman of militarism, the generals of the older generation of the empire, whether it is tactics or ideas, have been unable to keep up with the changes of this era.

The Italian battlefield is indeed a suitable place for training.

It's all about the great rise of empires.

General Hindenburg held his cane in both hands.

At least for one thing, General Hindenburg could see the Empire rise again, instead of dying with the Second Empire, as General Lütwitz did.

General Hindenburg's back was straight.

He is the general of the Empire, no matter what, he must straighten his back.

"In a month I will adjust the Deta soldiers to the best state of war."

Then put down the stick.

Kneeling on one knee in front of Anna.

Just as Anna was about to stand up.

But he was stopped by General Hindenburg.

"Please sit here, Your Highness, I am your humble servant and loyal soldier, please fulfill my last request to you."

"Ok?"

"Please let me fight as a soldier in the next war of the Empire."

.....

"If you come back victorious, serve as my bodyguard in the summer palace."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Immediately Hindenburg stood up.

He walked out of the courtyard in silence, he didn't lean on his cane anymore, Hindenburg felt that he should carry a knife like Mackensen, that's what he should do, just like when he participated in the Bohemian War, that The empire was not yet established.

Thoughts seem to be pulled back into the distant past and pulled back again.

Hindenburg looked up at Charlottenburg Palace.

He remembered that he had served as a bodyguard for Queen Elizabeth at Charlottenburg Palace.

Bringing out the pocket watch that you carry with you, it looks like the style used by the little girl. Queen Elizabeth once gave Hindenburg a pocket watch, but it took too long.

Nothing has changed here.

Everything changed again.
