v3 Chapter 217： Against the Austrian Empire?
The war between Austria and Prussia continued.
Many people thought that after Prussia took Prague and Olomouc, the Prussian army would go directly south from the whole north and attack Vienna.
However, everyone was wrong, Prussia was closely guarding these two places, but unexpectedly, the main force was attacking Hungary.
The Prussian army sent 50,000 troops to attack Kosice in Hungary (later the Slovak city).
Because it is located in a small area of Austria south of the Polish Principality of the Tsarist Russian Empire, in order to confront the threat of the Tsarist Russian Empire on the front line, Austria pushed the main force of the army to Lviv, Galicia, on the front line, with more than 150,000 soldiers.
However, because of the concentration of troops, there was a shortage of troops in the area between Vienna and Vienna.
Therefore, no one expected that Mao Qi would come to such a surprise attack and take Kosice in a short period of time.
This shocked the whole country of Austria.
Because the loss of Kosice is more threatening than Olomouc, this may be between Vienna in the west of Austria and Galicia in the east. If Prussia wins now, then Vienna is likely to be the same as Livor. The husband was cut off by someone abruptly.
So Kosice can't afford to lose.
December 30, 1865.
60,000 Austrians and 50,000 Prussians fought in Kosice, Hungary. Gunfire between the two countries started at 8:00 in the morning.
At first, Austria had a relatively large advantage, because it was the defender, and the towns in the south also had a lot of army support. From 9:00 am to about 13:00 noon, Austria has been suppressing with heavy artillery fire and Doprussia.
After that, it was surprising that a 30,000-strong Prussian Second Army arrived on the battlefield in Prussia, and the form gradually reversed.
Prussia seems to have a plan for a long time. The Prussian army built a wall of combat power to defend the Austrian army from breaking through and counterattacking with the left, middle, and right three routes, and used the standard rifle of the Dreiser needle method newly developed by Oprussia to quickly defeat it. The formation of the Austrian army has been chaotic.
Facing the ever-increasing Prussian offensive, the Austrian field commander, Ludwig von Beinedek, could not stabilize the military, especially some soldiers between the Hungarians and the Austrians.
This led to the fact that the various units under his command could only fight on their own. Although the battle was remarkable, they could not resist the Prussian army, which had an advantage in tactics and equipment.
In the end, at 16:00 that day, Benedek ordered the entire line to retreat. With the help of artillery fire and cavalry cover, the 25,000 remnants of Benedek's Austrian army withdrew from the battlefield and retreated to the central city of Miskore in Hungary. tz.
Austria was once again captured by the Prussians.
This puts pressure on Vienna to grow.
In Galicia in the east, there was a change in the Tsarist Russian Empire, which made Vienna but Prussia if it got the help of the Tsarist Russia Empire and cooperated with Prussia on the Polish border, then
Galicia, the entire eastern part of Austria, it would be really dangerous.

London, 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister's Office.
Now the leaders of the Whig party, the three giants, Prime Minister Viscount Palmerston and Foreign Secretary Russell, are meeting with Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer who has chosen the next generation of the Whig party's successor.
Viscount Palmerston has been particularly troubled recently.
Queen Victoria gave her second daughter, Princess Alice, to the Crown Prince of Hanover just now. Before she got married, the Kingdom of Hanover was destroyed by the Kingdom of Prussia.
Saxony was originally prepared by Queen Victoria for her sixth daughter, Princess Louise, but before it began to move, the Austrian Empire followed Prussia's example and went out to occupy it.
This made Queen Victoria very angry, and the Viscount Palmerston was very helpless.
As these royal princes and princesses grow up, as well as in the UK, they have begun to resent the royal family's practice of marrying the royal families of other European countries.
British aristocrats even said that royal marriages should be carried out by princesses at home, rather than choosing foreign marriages.
Only in this way will the royal family be truly localized and the hearts of all British people who are loyal to the royal family will be captured.
Viscount Palmerston is also in favor of this. After all, the Anglicization of the heirs can ensure that the inheritance rights remain in the United Kingdom, instead of being inherited by foreign princes and princesses as before, which would reduce the cohesion of the country.
At that time, Queen Victoria's attitude was that she did not refuse, nor did she agree.
But this is enough for the major British nobles to hear the wind and start to propose to the royal family the idea of marrying the princess home.
This left Queen Victoria in a dilemma.
The unfavorable situation of the war made her even more upset.
The Viscount Palmerston understood the Queen's difficulties.
The successive casualties in the Americas have shattered the prestige of Britain.
The blockade of Tsarist Russia on the Balkans was due to the recent withdrawal of Austria, which put Britain and the Ottoman Empire under enormous pressure.
Napoleon III of France, apparently sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, has already indicated to the UK that he will not participate in the Balkans. Let the UK deal with it on its own. This approach makes the UK, a country that has always liked to calculate others, feel better.
As a result, anti-war voices also followed in the UK. Although they are not loud, they already have a tendency to start a prairie fire.
It should be put out as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up the mess later.
Gladstone Russell, Chancellor of the Exchequer, said: "What the **** is this new-born guy Bismarck thinking? Where is Schleswig, and he dares to reach out to Prussia, but I can't figure it out. Guys got the idea"
The Viscount Palmerston looked at the next heir to the Whig party he had chosen.
Russell was chosen in front of Viscount Palmerston, saying: "Bismarck was the ambassador to France, because of Belgium's independence, I have met him. This man is scheming and very persistent in his goals , do things in a planned way”
He sighed: "It was unknown to everyone before, why Prussia clearly had the ability to attack Schleswig and Holstein, but had to pull Austria, and even gave up the protagonist's position.
But people thought that Prussia was forced by public opinion, so Prussia stood in front of the wind and rain.
But now we still find that we are all wrong, we are all wrong, the Bismarck government is actually used to consume Austria's military strength. And also a famous teacher.
Afterwards, he deliberately pulled Austria to reconcile and form an alliance within the German Confederation to plot with Austria the small country of the German Bundesland, leading Austria to capture Austria's own original ally Saxony, which destroyed Austria's image. ' And Hanover of the Prussian University of Technology has always supported Austria in the German Confederation. ’
Two, Prussia is digging the foundation of Austria's alliance system, but Austria is not concerned about Prussia's calculations.
The participation of North America in the war and the outbreak of the Balkans caused a sharp drop in the combat effectiveness of the Austrian army in the continuous war. Prussia was really accurate this time. "
"Austria is not in danger of extinction"
Viscount Palmerston sighed: "I'm afraid that there will be two-hearted people in the Austrian Empire. Hungary, I'm not willing to rely on others."
Gladstone and Russell heard the words, their eyes flashed slightly,
.....
Holland, William IV also thought that Hungary might take this opportunity, possibly.
But would Berlin's Bismarck really do that?
