Richard never expected that his cleaning work in Afghanistan would trigger a continental crisis!

The Ottoman Empire obviously reached a secret agreement with the old French Kingdom and the Bavaria and Prussian Kingdoms among the Holy Roman Empire. When the Kingdom of Hungary, the Principality of Transylvania, the Principality of Moldova, and the Principality of Wallachia became vassals of the Ottoman Empire, these countries remained silent and watched the Habsburgs fight alone!

Except for the little brother of the United Kingdom of Lithuania, the Habsburg family, the other small states of the Holy Roman Empire did not express any expression of this invasion of the Ottoman Empire, which clearly showed the way of fighting against river clams and fishermen benefiting.

This undoubtedly put the Austrian Kingdom in a huge military crisis.

This battle was regarded by the Habsburg dynasty as a prelude to the unification of the German region. As long as the Balkans of the Ottoman Empire could be engulfed, the strength of the Habsburg dynasty would expand sharply. If the Ottoman Empire fell, the threat to the east of the Habsburg dynasty would be abolished!

In this way, it becomes easy to truly achieve unity of the Holy Roman Empire.

After all, most of the small states of the Holy Roman Empire were devoted to the Habsburg dynasty. Who is the Austrian Kingdom’s territory, population and military strength the strongest?

After swallowing up the Balkans and even the four Eastern European countries led by Hungary, the Austrian Kingdom has a size far exceeding that of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Bavarian Kingdom. At that time, it can unify the Holy Roman Empire even if it is pushed forward.

Even if other continental countries send troops to stop them, the Habsburg family has a great chance of winning!

However, the Habsburgs did not expect that the states in the Holy Roman Empire and other European countries would rather watch the sphere of influence of human beings in the continent than take action to help the war between the Austrian Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire!

Aren’t they worried that the Ottoman Empire would advance to Central Europe and threaten the entire continent after defeating the Habsburg dynasty?

You should know that there are the most advanced arsenals of mankind in the Austrian Kingdom today. Once the Ottoman Empire occupied this place, it will be able to obtain ready-made industrial revolution results and upgrade its own military equipment to the same level as the European powers!

By then, the most powerful advantage of the Ottoman Empire will be lost!

With the size of the Ottoman Empire, one can easily arm a million troops. If the weapons and equipment are the same, it is not impossible to subdue the continental human countries!

The seductive nature of the holy war is still very powerful.

Nowadays, breech rifles have not had much advantage over breech rifles, because the Ottoman Empire could use twice and three times the strength to fight the Austrian army equipped with breech rifles.

There are no gray animals from Russians in this world, but there are Ottoman human jihad cannon fodder!

The hundreds of thousands of Ottoman army pressing against the border of the Kingdom of Austria immediately put huge pressure on the defense of the Kingdom of Austria.

Especially when the Ottoman Empire launched a full-scale attack, the border defense line of the Kingdom of Austria was in a hurry everywhere!

The Ottoman Empire recruited a large amount of cannon fodder from the surrendered Kingdom of Hungary, the Principal of Transylvania, the Principal of Moldova, and the Principal of Wallachia, and gave them a smoothbore or even a mezzanine to launch an attack!

With the unique attacking heavy artillery of the Ottoman Empire, even if the Austrian Kingdom has advanced breech guns, it was still hit and retreated step by step!

There are tens of thousands of casualties on both sides' battlefields every day!

Nearly one-third of the casualties turned into corpses!

Moreover, most of the injured are either disabled or die of various infections after injury due to the backward medical conditions in this era...

Even one-third of the injured soldiers who can recover from injuries and return to the battlefield cannot reach the rate...

Of course, the weapon advantage of the Austrian Kingdom is quite good at comparison with the casualties of the Ottoman Empire.

The average casualty ratio can reach 1 to 2 to 1 to 3.

In other words, it takes 2 to 3 Ottoman soldiers to exchange for the life of a soldier in the Kingdom of Austria!

This is mainly because the Ottoman Empire had the advantage in terms of number and caliber. Although the artillery of the Austrian Kingdom was more advanced, its size was there, and it was impossible to compare the war potential with the vast Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire also knew that its artillery was not as fast as the human state at the same caliber.

In this case, the Ottoman Empire used quantity to make up for the shortcomings of accuracy and increased caliber at any cost to make up for the shortcomings of range!

Therefore, the number of artillery artillery in the Ottoman Empire far exceeded that of continental countries and was even heavier.

Heavy artillery is not a good thing, it will cause the transportation cost of artillery to increase dramatically and the transportation efficiency will be greatly reduced.

However, what the Ottoman Empire lacked the most was the human coolie like animals.

The transportation costs of the Ottoman Empire were not paid for except for a bite. In many cases, even the local young and young humans who even had to take the couriers to prepare their own food!

Therefore, the Ottoman Empire could use low costs to pull up hundreds of young and strong humans to transport a heavy cannon anytime and anywhere!

In addition, the Ottoman Empire was vast and had many horse-producing lands, which could cultivate a large number of excellent horse-drawn horses for dragging heavy artillery.

In this way, under the high-pressure policy of the Ottoman Empire at all costs, they transported artillery the fastest!

Of course, labor casualties caused by high-intensity labor during transportation were an irrelevant issue for the Ottoman Empire.

Every time the Ottoman Empire launches war, the coolies who die on the logistics line are an unmentioned number, because once this number is made public, it is estimated that the next round of human uprising will break out...

It can be said that the dark elves do not regard humans as humans at all!

In addition to the various levels of human pasha that serves for the dark elves, ordinary human civilians are animals that can communicate with their legs in the eyes of the dark elves!

Although the dark elves live a lewd life, they are a war-crazy race and their attitude towards doing things is much higher than the Ottoman Empire of the same name in the history of Richard's previous life.

After all, the dark elves are supervised and managed. Human officials must consider whether their brains are strong enough before corruption...

The cost of humans to bribe dark elves is very high, because dark elves have always regarded themselves as a race higher than humans and are shameful for making dirty deals with humans!

At the same time, the dark elves have a sense of crisis. They are always wary of being on guard against humans, so they will naturally not be easily bribed!

In other words, the dark elves love their motherland more because the education that every dark elves received since childhood told them that the Ottoman Empire was the foundation for their survival in this world!
