章節 399: Chapter 316: The Fourth Silesian War

```

"Yes, the war has just begun," William II slammed his hand on the table beside him. "The Austrians have launched multiple attacks on Silesia before, each ending in miserable failure, and this time will be no exception!

"In fact, they will taste the bitterness of Lutynia once again!"

He was referring to the Battle of Leuthen, which took place during the Seven Years' War when Austria tried to retake Silesia and clashed fiercely with Frederick the Great's Prussian Army.

In that battle, Frederick displayed all his military genius, commanding an army only slightly more than half the size of the Austrian forces and, with his brilliant tactical leadership, inflicted a crushing defeat on the Austrians—of their 90,000 troops, 22,000 were killed in action, and 14,000 captured. Subsequently, the Austrian garrison in Breslau was affected and nearly surrendered without a fight, handing Frederick another 17,000 prisoners.
