Augusta never expected that her husband would throw such words in her face in the end. The indifference and contempt broke her heart. Anyway, at that moment, she seemed to fall straight into the abyss, and her heart was torn apart.
pain.
She tried to open her mouth several times to say something, but every time her lips moved but no sound came out.
This moment was actually very fast, but she felt that it had been a long time. When she came back to her senses, her husband, who she thought was tall and mighty, the man who she thought she could trust for her whole life, had now become so...
His face is blurry and short.
Augusta tried hard to tell herself that she must be calm and never be swayed by her emotions. She took several deep breaths before saying slowly: "I still think we should be more cautious, and we can't destroy us just because of a momentary excitement."
A half-century-long friendship with Austria. This friendship is hard-won, I feel..."
However, Augusta's restraint did not affect William I, because William I was really impatient to listen to her nagging, not to mention that he did not care about the friendship with Austria. Because if Napoleon was not too strong, Prussia would
They will not come together with Austria. Since the time of Frederick the Great, there has been no friendship between Prussia and Austria, only competition!
Even if the two countries were finally forced to come together because of Napoleon, this relationship is a cooperative relationship in which each gets what he needs, and has nothing to do with friendship. If it is beneficial to Prussia to cut Austria into eight pieces and divide it into five pieces, then he will immediately go to Prussia.
Austria declares war, it's that simple!
"I told you, don't worry about these things!" William I repeated impatiently, "I have my own sense of discretion! You don't need to worry about it!"
When William I once again asked Augusta to stop meddling in her own business, you can imagine how sad Augusta felt. The relationship between husband and wife for twenty years was so cold. It was really heart-breaking!
To be honest, William I's indifference angered Augusta. She had never been the kind of aristocratic lady who only relied on men in the traditional sense. Growing up, she was more interested in politics and military affairs than in female celebrities and dolls. She was
The kind of woman who is smart and opinionated and not lacking in political skills at all.
If it weren't for marrying William I, if she had married far away to Russia like Catherine, she might not have had the chance to become the third Catherine.
So don't underestimate Augusta. She really has two skills. When she felt ignored by William I and felt the other party's indifference, she was very competitive and suddenly wanted to prove herself to her husband.
.
She wants this stubborn husband to know how powerful she is, and wants the arrogant Hohenzollern family to see how she can turn clouds and rain with her hands!
So she did not quarrel with William I, but returned to her dressing room with a cold face. She sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, her chest rose and fell slowly, and for a long time, she suddenly opened the drawer
, took out a few letters from inside and slowly unfolded them.
These letters were correspondence between William I and her political allies while he was in exile in London. When the revolution broke out and forced William I to flee, Augusta was actually prepared for the worst.
She had thought that her husband would never be able to return to the country, and she had also thought that William I would be disqualified from inheriting the throne. When these worst situations occurred, she did not allow herself to cry like an ordinary woman.
She was not that weak. On the contrary, she was already actively preparing. At that time, she contacted a group of political allies, preparing to immediately promote her son Frederick William Nicholas Karl to become the crown prince once William I lost the qualification to inherit the throne.
Or directly try to have Frederick William IV abdicate and let his son directly become the new king.
Don't underestimate Augusta's scheming and skills. She is fully prepared and can handle any situation no matter what.
Of course, these methods were all used as backup, and would only be used if the worst happened. However, the development of things later prevented her from going all-in, so these methods fell silent again.
Today, William I's attitude really made her too angry. She was eager to prove herself and tell this arrogant husband that she was no worse than him in playing politics, and was even better than him!
With these letters, Augusta returned to her study, started writing again, began to contact previous allies, began to lobby with eloquent words, and began to make some preparations, as she sealed and stamped the envelope with fire paint
With his own coat of arms, these terrible letters were delivered one after another.
William I didn't know all this. He was discussing army affairs with his brother Frederick Charles Alexander in his study, because from the beginning to the end he felt that the most important thing was the army, and only by firmly controlling the army
Only then can we control this luxurious Prussian chariot.
"The situation in the army is quite optimistic. Most officers still agree with your leadership, especially those Junkers noble officers. They are particularly dissatisfied with everything before and eagerly hope you can come back..."
William I was very satisfied with this. Although he no longer had the power to control the cabinet, everything was fine as long as the army still looked to him. Now he only needed to continue to strengthen ties with the old departments in the army and quietly wait for the opportunity to change. Once the opportunity came,
When he matures, he feels that he can get back everything he lost.
"Is cooperation with the Russians reliable?"
It's just that Frederick Charles Alexander is not as confident as his second brother. On the contrary, he is average in both political and military abilities. He is afraid of this unpredictable political situation from the bottom of his heart. He is deeply afraid of William I's death.
Certain actions once again angered the mob and once again made things get out of hand.
"Brother is very suspicious of this. He hopes you will treat all this carefully!"
William I showed a solemn expression, not because his brother Frederick William IV's warning had greatly touched him, but because he deeply felt that his brother had been frightened by the revolution and was no longer like Hohen.
The people of the Sauron family are so embarrassed!
He feels that the lack of courage and ambition is the biggest problem in the family at the moment. If everyone is so timid, it will only make the mob more and more rampant, and then things will really become out of control!
So he replied very seriously and definitely: "The Russians are reliable, and they have always been reliable in suppressing the revolution!"
