Chapter 654 You Are Just a Pawn ([-])

The so-called tribute and joint trade in the Netherlands are actually exactly the same as kneeling.

When it was just the two of them, when no one else could see it, actually kneeling was just kneeling, and after kneeling, they had money and didn't have to be beaten.

But if there are a large group of people around, the weight of this kneeling is really heavy, and ordinary people will never kneel even if they can't beat it.

In the days when Prussia completely annihilated the Army of the Prince of Lorraine in Austria, Liu Yu had already signed a joint trade treaty with the seven provincial councils.

Other conditions are easy to talk about, but the Dutch have to deal with it in a low-key manner, which is similar to the legendary nonsense about kneeling on one knee or kneeling on both knees.

At least, this treaty cannot be hyped or announced.

Liu Yu was also happy to do so, pretending to disagree, and talked about it for another month before finally accepting it "reluctantly" before the battle happened.

Calculating the time, it is estimated that the news of Prussia's victory will reach here in about a week.

The battlefield is very close to Vienna, and Austria will soon accept the reality and choose to cede Silesia to allow Prussia to withdraw from the war. There is a time difference of about ten days.

The confidantes around Liu Yu also know Liu Yu's plan now, and they have made suggestions and collective efforts, so they naturally understand why Liu Yu is so happy.

Seeing Liu Yu's joy, Kang Buxio congratulated, "Your Master's plan has already become eight points. Now we just need to wait for the situation to change, and use the gaudy tabloid to explain in detail what 'tribute, survey and trade' means. Then the people in the Netherlands will be outraged. Maybe they will burn the provincial council and smash our embassy.”

"Since the king of England is the father-in-law of William of Orange, once the news of the British mediation is accepted by the Austrians, he will definitely tell his son-in-law as soon as possible to help him ascend the throne."

"Firstly, this person is weak and tired, and I don't think he will live long; secondly, Princess Anne has eyes higher than her head, and she feels that British culture is superior to the Netherlands, and she misses her homeland and her father and brother; thirdly, This couple has yet to have a living child, one miscarriage, two stillborn, this matter is known to the whole country, I think most likely they will never have any children."

"And Europa has always had the style of 'the rooster is the morning'. If I were the king of England, I would definitely want to send a haircut to help my son-in-law to the top. When my son-in-law dies, my daughter will become the ruler of the Netherlands. Isn't the Netherlands pro-British? The young master also said that there are many conflicts between Britain and the Netherlands because of the trade issue, which further encourages the British to try to tighten their control over the Netherlands."

"If this is the case, the Federal Provincial Assembly only knows that Prussia has won a big victory, and panicked; while the Orange faction knew in advance that the truce was just mediation, so they must be overjoyed and eager to join the war to take advantage of it."

Liu Yu laughed loudly and said, "Zhongxian, Zhongxian, it fits my heart. That's what I mean too."

This is to use an information gap to make Dutch politicians perform hard on stage.

Liu Yu quite agrees with Kang Bushao's thoughts on the British side.

When a woman becomes a king, she does not necessarily favor her father and brother.When a foreigner marries and becomes a king, it may not necessarily be towards the old country.

Ye Er in Russia is an example, a German woman can't wait to eat Germany.

But there is a huge difference between Ye Er and Anne. When Ye Er went to Russia, he made up his mind to learn Russian, entered Dongzheng, and wanted to be a qualified Russian; when Princess Anne arrived in the Netherlands, she turned her nose and stared at the people around her. Talking about the Dutch turkey all day long, my heart is proud and deep about the motherland.

This temper is no longer a day or two.And the body of William of the Orange family... not to mention short-lived, but it is estimated that he really did not live long.It is extremely possible that the UK will support her in the upper echelon, and eventually her daughter will be in the upper echelon.

The relationship between Liu Yu and the United Kingdom is very bad, and there is no way to cooperate, but the purpose of the two parties at this time is the same, that is, to help Orange rise to power, which can cooperate "unilaterally and tacitly".

Calculating the time, it is estimated that Queen Teresa has agreed to the British mediation in Austria at this time: as long as Silesia is cut off and Prussia withdraws from the war, Britain is willing to give Austria a large sum of money and even send troops to join the war.

This is called misfortune diverted from the south, so that Austria can do France, what to do if there is no money?

But it will take some time for the news to reach the Orange faction. The fire that I prepared to ignite the patriotic sentiment of the Dutch people cannot be set ablaze yet.

Once the fire is released, it is estimated that the shocking yellow tabloid that I subsidized and started will be banned and destroyed.

Squeeze as much value out of it as possible before it gets smashed.

…………

Three or two days later, early in the morning, many Dutch people were waiting to sell newspapers.

The price of this newspaper run by the Chinese is very cheap, and it may not even cover the cost.With the same word count and quantity, the price is much lower than other newspapers.

After you buy it, you can also recycle it after reading it.

Either tear it down and use it for rolling cigarettes, or wipe your ass, or store it up, and read it as a story reader in the future, all of which are worthwhile.

In addition to being cheap, the content is even more colorful and diverse, and sometimes just glancing at the thick and black titles will make people's blood rush and their hearts itch.

From the very serious political commentary, to the semi-serious economic trend, to the "Dutch jokes" that people will spontaneously recite every edition, this is one of the reasons why the middle and upper classes can clearly read it.Just because I hold such a newspaper, I don’t think that I just want to read the third edition’s oriental bed fun, the fourth edition’s series of bloody, violent and pornographic stories, and the fifth edition’s introduction to exotic oriental customs...

Today, as usual, is the day of publication. Many Dutch people waiting to buy newspapers, as usual, are about to turn directly to the third page, but find that today's content is extraordinarily formal. Just an article.

Many people mistakenly think that they bought it wrong, but seeing the familiar "shock body" of the characteristic title, they are convinced that they have not bought it wrong.

Heading style as always.

"Shock!The brightest general in Europe is rising, and he reproduced Hannibal's genius command in the Battle of Cannae!Is the dismemberment of Austria a foregone conclusion? "

This is an introduction to the battle, but the content is extremely detailed, from the initial strategic analysis, the cause of the conflict, to the course of the battle, there are tens of thousands of words.

The formation map and battlefield illustrations are also thoughtfully drawn on it, and a "genius" commander is depicted in simple and easy-to-understand language.

Although, in fact, the "genius" in this battle has a lot of water, at least it is impossible for a genius to make such a big mistake on the issue of camping the night before.

Even though many of the details on the battlefield were clearly just accidents, Liu Yuhao said that he was someone who had watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" countless times. It has become the image of a wise man who is close to a demon.

The mistake of camping on the first night was blown by Liu Yu as "deliberately setting up the formation so as to expose flaws and attract the Austrians to take the initiative to attack".

The shock after receiving the news the next morning was blown up by Liu Yu as "The cavalry reported that the Austrian army wanted to attack Chatusitz, and all the generals were shocked, but Frederick smiled and said that it was exactly what I wanted, the enemy has been defeated; Chatusitz The Prince of Dessau of Ci opened the kit, and he felt at ease, and set up an array based on this to lure the Austrians to come."

The cavalry, who were obviously inadvertently planted willows, circled around and waited for the opportunity to fight, and Liu Yu blew it into "In Cannae, Hannibal ordered 500 Celtics who pretended to surrender, hiding daggers and placing them behind the Romans; Specialized and used it, let 500 cavalry detour in a large range, hide behind the side of the Austrians, and wait for the final blow."

Obviously, he really couldn’t keep Chattusitz, and was blown up by Liu Yu as “Hannibal deliberately let the Chinese army retreat, let the Romans squeeze towards the middle, and finally completed the encirclement; Frederick deliberately let Chattusitz fall , allowing the Austrian to squeeze towards the middle and make the final preparations for the completion of the flank."

He described all the fleeting fighters on the battlefield as arrangements made by Frederick in advance.

This image is immediately different.

In the eyes of people who understand military affairs, the original and true version actually shows Frederick's ability even more.Those who can turn passive into active, can seize fleeting opportunities to make adjustments, and can reverse defeat in unfavorable situations are the real heroes.

But the vast majority of ordinary people, even the generals who are leading the troops in Europe at this time, don't understand much.Naturally, this version that is full of wisdom, planning everything, and defeating the enemy shows Frederick's strength even more.

In order to make some knowledgeable people feel that this is not nonsense, Liu Yu also carefully added some real dry goods such as the "advantage of flanking" and "conversion of vertical and horizontal teams" that ordinary people don't like and have general rational data.

He wants to blow Frederick to the sky, so that Britain can be more afraid of Hannover being captured, and can make Britain work harder to make La Frederick an ally, at least, an absolutely qualified thug.

Britain, what Liu Yu alluded to, is that Britain is Carthage, and it is Carthage that can beat the Roman navy out of shit and have an invincible navy after the magic reform.

Therefore, a Carthage with an invincible navy would of course like a Hannibal who is full of wisdom and unparalleled in land battles.

He brags like this without any diplomatic pressure.Because Dashun's current ally is France, and France and Prussia are now in an alliance, so they slam Prussia, and the French feel that Liu Yu has helped a lot.

As for the purpose of bragging, it is nothing more than for the future, and also to put pressure on the Dutch side so that politicians can perform well.

As for the style of blowing, I have to thank the Marquis de la Schettadi whom I met in Russia.The Marquis of La Schettadi is a master of smuggling private goods. Although he was ridiculed by later generations as a political struggle at the level of "living room wine", this person's ability to smuggle private goods can be said to be the first of its kind.

Historically, the so-called "Peter the Great's Will", or Peter's ambition, which was later spread throughout Europe, has truly formed the version that has been handed down to this day. Historically, it was the Marquis of La Schettadi that finally finalized it.There have been some rumors before, but it is similar to the relationship between Luo Guanzhong and the Three Kingdoms. This will can be passed down to future generations, and it is the Marquis of La Chettadi who compiled the most widely circulated version.

Not to mention that he was baited by the queen, and he was imprisoned in France because of this. After he came out, he was full of hatred for Russia.She used to be called Elizabeth Sweet, but later she wrote books that were uglier than Mrs. Niu, ugly and evil, saying that the Queen was a jealous maniac, especially liked to kill beautiful women, and even hooked the tongues of beautiful noblewomen with iron hooks, because a certain Marquise The legs are more slender and look better, so I asked someone to cut off the legs...

As for the most widely circulated comprehensive version of "The Will of Peter the Great", the Marquis of La Chettadi added private goods - the name of the Marquis of La Chettadi actually appeared in the will. Peter said that this Frenchman is very capable , Superb means, will be a terrible opponent and so on.

But when Peter died, this young man was only 22, and he had just debuted. How could Peter write such an unknown person in his will—standard soft and wide routines, this is a master of private goods—not to mention his political means, diplomatic means, and Judging from his performance in the Battle of Rothbach later, why did Peter think he would be a terrible potential enemy?

This kind of story is really universal between East and West.Thinking about it in the past, it has happened now, and in the future there will definitely be things like fabricating evil legends, fabricating celebrity quotes, spreading rumors to distort images, entraining private goods to increase their social status, and hiding advertisements in stories.

Liu Yu is of course knowledgeable and well-educated. Here, he brags about Frederick, and also brings in a wave of private goods and high-end bragging about Dashun's staff.

It has the same style as the version of "The Will of Peter the Great" printed and published by the Marquis of La Schettadi: it brags about Peter the Great's ambitions and ambitions, and then adds that Peter the Great said that the young man La Schettadi is terrible and capable , Although it is only a sum, but even this sum has greatly increased his social status.

Liu Yu brags that Frederick is comparable to the reincarnation of Hannibal, and then portrays the image of Dashun's staff as "Xu Shu who Pang Tong offered serial timing" and "Yang Xiu who is chicken ribs at the time". All the Prussian generals could not see it. When they left, only the Dashun staff saw Frederick's layout.

Coupled with Huayong [You said: "I once taught Yuan Shao to attack Xudu with light cavalry, attacking head to tail." Cao was shocked and said: "If Yuan Shao used his son's words, I will be defeated."] The "big one" of the bridge section The staff officer Shun said, what should the Austrian army do? Philip was shocked and said: "If the Austrian army is like this, we will be defeated."

He didn't overwhelm the hosts, but also quietly boasted that Dashun's officer corps was invincible, and he had seen many war tactics.

Since he wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value of this yellow tabloid, which has been subsidized a lot of money, he had to squeeze out the last drop.

As for whether Frederick can fight or not, Liu Yu doesn't care at all. He just treats Frederick and Prussia as a tool man.

Anyway, Dashun has no chance to confront Prussia, and historically, if Elizabeth hadn't died early, Prussia would have collapsed, it doesn't matter.

After boasting and entraining private goods, he analyzed the strategic situation after the war very professionally, and described in words that "Austria's Northern Italian Army and the Hungarian Army are the strongest." The Field Army has been besieged in Munich by France, Prussia, and Pakistan. Once this army is eliminated, the dismemberment of Austria is a foregone conclusion, and the French army stationed in the Austrian Netherlands will not need to communicate with the Prague Army. into horns, can go straight to Hannover" posture.

It was clear in his heart that Prussia had lost all the cavalry and had been abandoned, so Prussia would not be able to fight anymore.

But he said nothing.This is called basically telling the truth, but only partially telling the truth.

However, he still mentioned something maliciously: According to this situation, the French army stationed in the Austrian Netherlands can completely let itself go.Otherwise, this legion cannot move, and it is best to support the preparations in the direction of Bohemia at any time.

As for the liberated mobile field corps, whether they really went to Hannover as the French said, or came to the Netherlands recently... It depends on which one the Dutch choose to believe.

This does not seem to depend on the credibility of the French, but on whether the Netherlands can solve the problem of centralization and tax reform, organize a field army, and head to the southern border.
