War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

At that time, there was no unified standard for German, so from the Austrian perspective, the Prussian German was very strange. If the other party spoke slowly, it would be fine, but if it was too fast, it would be hard to hear what was being said.

(The difference has been explained before, so I won't go into details here.)

The Prussian veterans had to speak those key words clearly and slowly. They had been on the battlefield and felt that it was natural to exchange military merits for senior officers of the enemy army.

But ordinary people didn't think so. Their simple values ​​made them feel that killing people for their lives was natural.

In the excitement, they wanted to throw the senior official Shandor Roy into the cesspool and drown him. Several Prussian veterans did not give up. After all, they had never encountered such a great achievement in their lives.

So the veterans changed their words

"This Hungarian senior official must know a lot of secrets! We must hand him over to the commander, otherwise we will miss the opportunity to fight!"

After this big hat was put on, the angry militia immediately quieted down.

"I know a lot of secrets!"

"I know that too!"

The two Hungarian hussars also cooperated in German at the right time. In fact, it was not uncommon for Hungarians to speak German. After all, the Habsburg family had ruled here for hundreds of years.

The veterans finally breathed a sigh of relief, so a large group of militiamen happily escorted the two "important people" away.

At this time, Janos Damojanic, who was supervising the battle before the war, did not know what happened inside the royal territory. He only knew that the black smoke rising in the distance was a signal of victory.

Janos Damojanic decided to strike while the iron was hot and send out all the hussars in his hands. This looked like a gamble, but in fact it was the best way he could think of.

The fighting power of the militia in the royal territory far exceeded Janos Damojanic's imagination. At the beginning of his tenure, he thought that his predecessors were just some good-for-nothings.

After all, this is not uncommon in Hungary. It is common for a few thousand people to fail to take down a bandit camp with a few hundred people. There are millions of people in the royal territory, so it is normal that a few thousand soldiers cannot take it down.

Janos Damojanic felt that it would not be a problem to take down the royal territory with his ability, but he had his own considerations. The Hungarian government could give him too little, so he wanted to be a hero of Austria more than a hero of Hungary.

So Janos Damojanic began to contact the Austrian imperial government. At first, everything went well. The Austrians promised a lot to his envoys.

But it was only a verbal promise. The Austrians' reason was for security and confidentiality. This excuse really made Janos Damojanic unable to find any problems. In this way, more than a month passed.

At this time, the domestic and foreign situations faced by the Austrian Empire had long changed, but Janos Damojanic could only get verbal promises from some low-level officials.

This made Janos Damojanic realize that he had been fooled, and he took out his long-prepared plan to make the Austrian Empire pay the price.

Janos Damojanic felt that he was very smart. After all, he had prepared a backup plan long ago. The messenger he sent was also an intelligence officer. According to the feedback from the intelligence officer, he felt that his plan was perfect.

However, Janos Damojanic lost more than 8,000 people in his first battle. The light artillery carried by the Hungarian army produced half a century ago could not cause effective damage to the concrete bunkers.

On the other hand, the firepower of the militia in the royal territory was far greater than what the intelligence officers described. Perhaps what Tyutkalé encountered before was not the main force of the militia.

In short, Janos Damojanic perfectly reproduced Tyutkalé's previous mistakes. The Hungarian soldiers were completely powerless when facing the Austrian militia with superior terrain and firepower.

Moreover, the Austrian militia had already learned from the previous battles. This time, the militia even concentrated superior forces to launch a counter-encirclement.

After destroying two brigades at once, Janos Damojanic should have been dismissed, but fortunately, no one from the two brigades came back alive, so no one knew about his failure.

Janos Damojanic broke up the six brigades in his hands and redistributed them, and created two more brigades. In the following battles, Janos Damojanic did not gain any advantage.

So he finally came up with the trick of attacking the enemy's rear by surprise, but in order to give the surprise attack troops more room for maneuver, he still launched an attack on the front.

This battle made Janos Damojanic confirm his judgment again. He had to face a reality that the firepower of the Hungarian regular army was not as good as that of the Austrian militia.

What's more terrible is that in addition to a small number of artillery, Austria's main long-range suppression firepower on the battlefield, that is, those rockets, does not seem to have a high operating threshold.

This is also the case. Rockets are much easier to use than artillery, and only short-term training is needed to play a very important role on the battlefield.

However, in terms of fire suppression, rockets are stronger than artillery.

Although Janos Damojanic was only feinting at the front, the losses were unexpectedly large.

Another rocket landed next to the headquarters, and the huge explosion caused dust to fall from the roof of the makeshift headquarters.

In fact, Janos Damojanic had no habit of setting up temporary headquarters on the front line before. He usually rode in front of the soldiers on horseback to show his courage.

However, after being almost blown up several times, Janos Damojanic finally decided to build a temporary headquarters for himself.

In fact, there was another reason why he did this, because he found that the Austrian army mainly used explosive weapons, which were indeed lethal to infantry, but as long as they were not directly hit, the damage to buildings was very limited.

According to Janos Damojanic's estimation, the soldiers on the Austrian front line would inevitably fall into chaos if the royal territory was attacked.

As long as these people left the fortress, the hussars would dominate the plains, and he could take the opportunity to lead the main force to occupy the enemy's position.

At that time, even if all his cavalry were eliminated, the strategic goal of seizing the enemy's outer defense would be achieved.

Once this defense has a hole, it will no longer be impregnable, because no matter where it is attacked, it is the opponent's weak point. He only needs to wait for the opponent to make a mistake, and then divide and eliminate it.

In fact, it was not that troublesome. After he had opened the door, he only needed a few victories to force the other side to surrender.

On the other hand, Eric Lange, the highest military commander of "New Silesia", finally met the two important captives.

After seeing Eric Lange, Sandor Roy put on an arrogant attitude, without any panic when he was almost drowned in the manure pool by the peasants.

"Huh, are you the highest commander here?"

Eric Lange had long been accustomed to the style of Hungarian officers. He nodded, then lit a cigarette and began to think about how to make the other party speak.
