Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 295
Vienna.

It has been more than a month since the coup, but the atmosphere in the city is still a little tense.

The barricades and Lucas in the city have been removed, and the blockade and search have also ended. Only a few teams of French soldiers patrolled the streets back and forth, maintaining the law and order of this ancient city.

It’s just that the citizens of Vienna on the streets are often in a hurry, and the chairs outside the cafes are empty. Artists who paint and perform on the streets are also very rare. Even if they can be seen, they are mostly in parks, riversides and other secluded places. place, instead of going to the busiest central square as usual.

The gates of the Vienna Conservatory of Music and the Art Academy in the east of the city are also closed, and few people come in and out. Even the tunes that occasionally come out of the campus are not as lively and lively as usual, and seem very negative and pessimistic.

The mottled blood under the gallows in the central square has been washed away by the heavy rain of the past few days, but few people are willing to approach it, as if they hate the bloody smell left here.

In front of the Hofburg Palace behind the square, teams of elite French soldiers are silently guarding the palace, bringing some chill to this long-uninhabited palace.

In the Hofburg Palace, in a palace with extremely luxurious decoration, two beautiful ladies are enjoying their afternoon tea.

"Oh, after working so hard for so many days, I finally have the time to sit down and have a cup of tea." Miss Sophie sank into the thick Thor chair with a tired face.

"Yeah, I've been really busy these days." Grand Duke Luisa on the opposite side also said with emotion: "But it's all worth it!"

"Now His Majesty has already crossed the Rhine River, and broke through the three barriers in a row. According to the current momentum, if there is no accident, we will arrive in Berlin in a month! Force the Kaiser to sign the alliance under the city!" Slightly Taking a sip of the milk tea in the cup, Miss Sophie also said with emotion: "In this way, Austria will be completely independent!"

"I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. It's like a dream. I can't believe it now." Grand Duke Luisa's eyes were full of admiration: "It's really worthy of being the number one undefeated army god in the mainland. I thought it would take at least half a year to fight." Woolen cloth."

"Of course, our Majesty Napoleon is the greatest emperor in the history of France! He will never fail." When talking about His Majesty Napoleon, Miss Sophie's eyes lit up like two burning fires: "Germany only looks It’s just powerful, but it’s already rotten and incompetent to the bone, and it’s no match for His Majesty the Emperor!”

After feeling emotional for a while, Grand Duke Luisa showed concern, "However, I always feel that this plan is a bit dangerous. Although we have our Austrian support for logistics, isn't it a bit too risky to go northward and penetrate into the enemy's territory alone? What if "

"No chance!" Miss Sophie frowned and interrupted her words: "Everything is under His Majesty's control! Right now, the elites of the three major French armies have been wiped out at the bottom of the river, and none of the ten escaped by chance. Those who stopped us were second-line troops from various cities in Germany, noble private troops, recruits who had not undergone systematic training, etc., and their combat power was very low. And we went north this time were the elite of the French Revolutionary Army, most of them were The veterans who have followed His Majesty all the way have rich experience in actual combat. Regardless of their own strength or the tacit understanding between each other, they are far above the rabble in Germany, and their only remaining First Army of the Empire can fight a little bit. But The First Army Corps is defending Berlin. With the character of the Kaiser, they will not be sent out. It can be said that all the way to Berlin can basically be broken in one battle! At most, it will take some time to attack the city. .”

"That's it." Grand Duke Luisa nodded, and then asked: "But, I heard that the Northern Army, which guards the northern border in Germany, is also famous for its elite. There are more than 8 people, and Faust, the leader of the army, is still a soldier. Saint-level peerless powerhouse, what if the Kaiser transfers the Northern Army back to the front line to stop your Majesty?"

After hearing her guess, Miss Sophie laughed: "Hehe, the Kaiser will not send them back. First, that Marshal Faust is strong, but he has always had a rift with the Kaiser and cannot be trusted. It must not be reused. The Kaiser is unwilling to use the Northern Army unless it is absolutely necessary. Second, the Northern Army is located in the northernmost part of Germany. If you want to transfer troops to the southern front, there may not be enough time. Even if you can make it, then [-]% Our army has also approached the city of Berlin. Three times, the German Imperial Palace is not full of wine bags and rice bags. Compared with sending them to the southern front line, it is better to let them directly attack our French mainland. After all, the north of Germany and our France coincide It's bordering, isn't it?"

"What if the Kaiser really wants them to attack the mainland of France? Isn't this a disaster?" Grand Duke Louisa stood up suddenly, almost knocking down the teacups on the table.

"Don't panic, don't panic, Your Majesty has already expected this!" Miss Sophie still smiled and said, "Your Majesty has already made perfect arrangements a long time ago!"

"Arranged?" Sitting down on the chair mountain again, Grand Duke Luisa asked in surprise.

"Of course, His Majesty Napoleon never fights unprepared battles! Before every battle, he will conduct a detailed analysis of all possibilities to ensure safety! This time is no exception!" Miss Sophie's eyes were full of longing, but Without further explanation.

"Oh, I'm relieved." Patting his huge chest, Grand Duke Luisa let out a sigh of relief.

"Of course, His Majesty is fighting on the front line, so we can't be idle." Miss Sophie said seriously: "The support for you in Austria is still very low, and many people have complaints. It is beneficial to the future rule."

"Well, I worked very hard. Except for those German officials who had to be killed before, I tried my best to spare their lives. Moreover, like this collection of food, grass and materials, I did not extort excessively. I paid real money, and promised a lot of benefits to those city lords and nobles. I just want a smooth and stable one. I haven't made too many changes to the domestic policies. I try to keep them as they are, and I have prepared a plan to reduce taxes. Reduce the burden and win the hearts of the people. But none of these will be effective in a short while." Grand Duke Luisa sighed, his face full of helplessness.

"Oh, it's just your father's bad reputation at the beginning, and the Germans did a good job afterwards. Comparing the two, the hearts of the people have turned towards outsiders!" Miss Sophie also sighed: "Forget it, Let's take our time, after all, the Germans have been operating in Austria for ten years, and after another ten years, no one will mention Germany."

Grand Duke Luisa nodded and agreed: "Well, I understand, I am ready."

But before she finished speaking, she heard a commotion outside.

Then came "Boom!"
