The Russian army was defeated in the Western Siberian Plain, losing millions of troops, and completely threw it into the Western Siberian Plain. However, such heavy losses did not cause much shock around the world. Except for the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which was fighting against Russia, the rest of the countries did not pay attention to this. The same is true for European powers. Because, ten days ago, the war in Europe had begun.

After the beginning of the world war, European countries had not completed the mobilization of war, so they did not take other measures except to declare war on hostile countries. At most, some troops were sent to the border to strengthen their defense.

Of course, all countries are preparing for war as fast as possible. Once the preparation is completed, the war in Europe will begin.

Among European countries, the Kingdom of Belgium was the first country to complete military mobilization. Long before the war began, the size of the Belgian army expanded from 100,000 to 200,000. After the war broke out, King Leopold I of Belgium immediately ordered a total war mobilization. A large number of young people were conscripted and convenient domestic transportation was provided. The army of the Kingdom of Belgium completed the mobilization in less than a month. The 500,000 army was organized into fourteen infantry troops and deployed to the southern, northern borders, and western coastal areas.

The Kingdom of Prussia in northern Germany was unified, and the mobilization efficiency was also amazing. The Kingdom of Prussia's strong industrial strength and convenient railway transportation could allow the army of the Kingdom of Prussia to quickly mobilize to the border. In response to the proposal of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Belgium would jointly launch an attack on the Kingdom of Dutch and completely resolve the country. The Kingdom of Belgium did not have to face two fronts of war. At the same time, it could also disrupt the deployment of the North Atlantic military alliance.

On the morning of August 18, 1854, the Minister of the Army of the Kingdom of Belgium, Katton, and the Chief of Staff of the Kingdom of Prussia, met in Aachen. At this time, the Kingdom of Belgium had sent six infantry troops and more than 200,000 troops to the northern border. Once the order was issued, the 200,000 people could cross the border and attack the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Similarly, the Kingdom of Prussia also sent 300,000 people to the border of the Po-Dutch. That is to say, after the attack began, the two countries would invest as many as 500,000 troops into the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands was mobilizing. The Kingdom of the Netherlands, with a total population of only more than 3 million, originally planned to mobilize 300,000 troops. But now, the mobilization of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has only been completed by only 60%. It can be foreseen that once the war begins, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be at an absolute disadvantage.

"His Excellency Chief of Staff, the army of the Kingdom of Belgium has entered the predetermined position. Once the order is issued, our six infantry troops will cross the border from Antwerp, Thirenthout and Lommer, respectively, and attack the Netherlands from the three places of Antwerp, Thirenthout and Lommer. There are only more than 100,000 Dutch troops opposite us. We are confident that we will defeat the Kingdom of Dutch in one fell swoop!" said Katun, the Minister of the Army of the Kingdom of Belgium.

Although the Kingdom of Belgium was far from the opponent of the Kingdom of Dutch at its beginning, it was defeated by the Dutch and almost destroyed. However, after joining the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Belgium obtained a large amount of military technology from the Empire, including weapons including large-caliber heavy artillery. The Kingdom of Belgium was able to produce it on its own. The army of the Kingdom of Belgium also received training from the Army of the Empire of China. The combat effectiveness was no longer the same as before. If no other countries intervened, the Kingdom of Belgium had sufficient strength to defeat the former rival, the Kingdom of Dutch. Even though the current situation was very complicated, the Kingdom of Belgium believed that they could destroy the Kingdom of Dutch first.

General Reichle, Chief of Staff of the Prussian Army, nodded and destroyed the Kingdom of Dutch first, which was also very helpful to the Kingdom of Prussia. After deducting the 300,000 troops attacking the Kingdom of Dutch, the Kingdom of Prussia will also send 500,000 troops to attack south and unify the four states in southern Germany with force. Of course, at that time, wars may inevitably occur with France and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. For this reason, after mobilizing one million people, the Kingdom of Prussia is still mobilizing the second phase, and the second batch of mobilized troops will be at least more than 500,000.

"His Excellency, our 300,000 men have also reached the predetermined position. After the attack begins, 300,000 Prussian troops will invade the territory of the Netherlands from two directions. I believe that with the joint efforts of our two countries, it is absolutely not a problem to destroy the Netherlands!" said General Reicher. Under the attack of the 500,000 troops of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Netherlands, which has not even completed mobilization, is obviously difficult to fly.

"Yes, Chief of Staff. After the destruction of the Kingdom of Dutch, the army of the Kingdom of Belgium will withdraw from the country as soon as possible and prepare to fight against the French and British. The important task of stabilizing the domestic situation of the Kingdom of Dutch is probably to be handed over to the Kingdom of Prussia to complete!" Katun said. After all, the Kingdom of Belgium still has to face the attacks of France and Britain, and this is their biggest enemy. Of course, according to the division of interests between the two, after the destruction of the Kingdom of Dutch, the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Prussia will divide the Kingdom of Dutch, which has long been defined. There is no way to temporarily hand over the Kingdom of Dutch to the Kingdom of Prussia to control. Who made the Kingdom of Belgium too weak?

"There is no problem. At that time, the Kingdom of Prussia will leave at least 100,000 people to garrison in the Kingdom of the Netherlands!" said Admiral Reicher. Compared with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which has a total population of only more than 3 million, it is enough to leave at garrison in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which is only 3 million.

Of course, General Reicher also hoped that it would be even better if the Kingdom of Prussia could monopolize the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Of course, this was almost impossible. The government of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium had already agreed, and it would be almost impossible if he wanted to go back on his word. What's more, behind the Kingdom of Belgium was the Chinese Empire. The powerful Empire would never tolerate the interests of the Kingdom of Belgium.

According to the agreement between the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Prussia, after the war ends, the two countries will divide the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Among them, Limburg, North Brabant, Zeeland, South Holland, Utrecht and North Holland, in the southern part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, will belong to the Kingdom of Belgium. The remaining part will belong to the Kingdom of Prussia. It can be regarded as the two sides split the Kingdom of the Netherlands equally.

"In addition, we hope that after the destruction of the Kingdom of Dutch, the Kingdom of Prussia will invest in the 300,000 troops of the Netherlands. In addition to the 100,000 people defending the Kingdom of Dutch, the remaining 200,000 people will enter the Kingdom of Belgium and assist us in fighting Britain and France. The Kingdom of Belgium is a small country, and we have done our best to mobilize troops to fight Britain and France. However, the strength of the Kingdom of Belgium is too weak. Even if we do our best, we may still be unable to withstand the powerful enemy. Therefore, we need the help of our allies!" Katon continued.

General Reicher frowned and took advantage of this war to unify Germany, which was a strategy set by the Kingdom of Prussia. Therefore, the army of the Kingdom of Prussia would first launch an attack on the four southern states, and even fight against the Austro-Hungarian Empire and France. If 200,000 people were put into the Kingdom of Belgium, it would affect the military deployment of the Kingdom of Prussia.

"His Excellency Chief of Staff, the Kingdom of Belgium is located on the left wing of the Kingdom of Prussia. Once the Kingdom of Belgium is destroyed by Britain and France, not only will our previous efforts to destroy the Kingdom of Dutch be in vain. Even the security of the Kingdom of Prussia will be threatened. At that time, the Kingdom of Prussia may face the siege of the North Atlantic Military Alliance!" Katon looked at General Reicher hopefully. The Kingdom of Belgium had only more than four million people and mobilized 500,000 troops, which was the greatest potential of the Kingdom of Belgium. However, the enemy was very powerful, so the Kingdom of Belgium could only rely on foreign aid.

"Mr. Army Secretary, I cannot give you a reply now. I will contact Berlin as soon as possible and ask His Majesty the King!" said General Reicher Cavalry.

"Okay, Chief of Staff. I hope that in this war, the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Prussia can help each other. After all, only the environment in which we two are in is the most dangerous!" said Katun.

The Kingdom of Belgium envied the Kingdom of Spain, which was also a hard-core ally of the Chinese Empire, but the Kingdom of Spain was undoubtedly better. As soon as the war began, the Navy of the Empire destroyed the British Navy Mediterranean Fleet and controlled the sea control of the Mediterranean. In this way, the Kingdom of Spain could continuously receive support from the Empire of China. However, the Kingdom of Belgium could not get support and could only rely on itself. In comparison, the situation of the Kingdom of Belgium was undoubtedly much more difficult.

The cavalry of Reicher reported Belgium's request to Berlin as quickly as possible, and decided to agree to the request of the Kingdom of Belgium and support the Kingdom of Belgium. As Earl of Katton said, the relationship between the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Prussia was like the relationship between teeth and lips. Once the Kingdom of Belgium was destroyed, the Kingdom of Prussia would also be in trouble.

After receiving the support of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Belgium was undoubtedly much more confident.

On August 20, 1854, King Leopold I of the Kingdom of Belgium ordered to march into the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of Belgium, which was in desperate situation, will launch a counterattack first! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
