According to the treaty, Russia occupied eastern Lithuania, western Belarus, Courland, western Volyn, most of western Ukraine, and part of Lesser Poland with an area of 120,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 1.1 million; Austria occupied Krakow, including
Part of Lesser Poland and part of Mazovia, with an area of 43,000 square kilometers and a population of 440,000; it generally occupies the rest of the western region, including Western Lithuania. The remaining part of Mazovia covers an area of 55,000 square kilometers and has a population of 700,000. At this point, Poland
Completely divided.
Compared with the original historical comparison, although Prussia did not get Warsaw, Prussia did get a Western Lithuanian region. Although the Western Lithuanian region was not as prosperous as Warsaw, William knew that Warsaw had become the junction of the three countries of Prussia, Austria and Russia, so he could not
Warsaw would be the trigger of the next war, so William was not that eager for Warsaw.
Moreover, the establishment of the Free City of Warsaw can be seen as the result of the mutual wrestling and compromise of the three countries, and the existence of this Free City also conforms to the interests of the three countries, although the first mayor of the Free City of Warsaw was replaced by Hahn under the command of the Russians.
Popov grabbed it, but this did not hinder the penetration of Prussian and Austrian forces in Warsaw.
Things in Poland are over, so William will now focus on the country. After William transferred the money directly to Locks, sure enough, Locks did not bother William again. William only needed to care about him occasionally, which was not a problem at the time.
On behalf of William, he can do nothing. As the king of Prussia, he still has a lot to learn, just like now.
"Sir Fouchicker, do you think this is indeed the right thing to do?"
"Of course, Your Majesty. As long as you do as I say, there will be no problem."
The so-called Fu Xikel is William's art teacher. Now William is sitting in the Chinese Pavilion in Sanssouci Palace. His art teacher is teaching William to paint Chinese ink paintings, but the ghost is William holding the tune in his hand.
The color palette felt very ridiculous, but of course his teacher firmly believed that ink painting requires pigments.
Well, William really had no choice when facing this old professor. Even though William had never done ink painting in his previous life, William knew that there was only one color in ink painting, which was black and white, and the only pigment needed was ink. But
Now Sir Fouchicker brought a colorful palette and handed it to William's hand, which made William curse in his heart that he really didn't know how to pretend to understand.
After hurriedly finishing Fouchier's class, William came to the main hall of Sanssouci Palace, where his etiquette teacher, Mrs. Lillie, was waiting for him.
William was not alone. There were Carlo and Du Li beside him, and even Christine was also listening. Originally, according to Louise's idea, William should be in class alone, but William felt that this was too boring.
, so he called Carlo and others to come to class with him.
"Miss Du Li, please remember that you are a lady. Your movements should not be so rigid, but should be so supple and natural. Do you understand?"
"Mrs. Lillie, I understand."
As she spoke, Du Li picked up the fan again under the supervision of Mrs. Lilivi and began to learn about the so-called court etiquette. William and Carlo were being asked by Mrs. Lilivi to learn about the court dance steps. The two grown men, no, should
It was said that the little shot was averse to the cold when they hugged each other!
William was having a relaxing class, but the Military Department and the General Staff Department were not so free. Ferdinand, the newly appointed Chief of Staff Department, was discussing with Henry the new expansion of the army. Although the supplies provided by Rocks were in place,
But various issues such as the training and armament of the army need to be decided by these two bosses.
Although a Prussian division was organized into four regiments of infantry, two regiments of cavalry, and one regiment of artillery, the Prussian army had a very large demand for war horses.
The best war horse in Europe now is the Shire horse from England. This horse is the tallest and strongest horse in the world. The average height of this horse is over 1.80, it can weigh up to one ton, and it can lift up to 5 meters of its own weight.
Of course, the price of the corresponding Shire horses is not cheap. Even though the United Kingdom has increased its efforts to cultivate Shire horses, it still cannot meet the needs of various countries. Therefore, the Prussian cavalry is currently equipped with only a small amount of Shire horses.
rma.
There are two types of horses that dominate the Prussian army, one is the Holstein horse and the other is the Hanoverian warmblood horse. There are also a small number of Lipizzaners and Andalusian horses.
Holstein horses, this kind of horse can also be said to be the oldest warm-blood horse breed in the Holy Roman Empire. It was carefully bred for hundreds of years. Almost half of the war horses in the Prussian army are Holstein horses.
Stein Horse.
The Hanoverian horse has extraordinary strength, gorgeous and correct movements and a particularly good character. It is also a horse through and through. It originated from the Lower Saxony area occupied by Prussia. It is worth mentioning that the Hanoverian horse is also mixed with Hors.
The pedigree of the Taine horse.
"Ferdinand, are you sure someone did this?"
"Henry, do you doubt my investigation?"
Ferdinand looked at Henry opposite and said dissatisfiedly
"No, Ferdinand, I still trust you, but I think you also know that this is no small matter."
"Of course I know this is no small matter. Otherwise, why would I come to you to discuss it with you?"
Hearing Ferdinand's answer, Henry couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and looked up at the ceiling.
"I said Henry, you'd better make up your mind. This matter is really big. This is a case involving a thousand war horses."
"Ferdinand, I know, but..."
"I know what you are worried about, but Henry, don't forget that these moths are corroding the empire's assets."
Ferdinand also stood up and looked at Henry with firm eyes.
"Okay, Ferdinand, don't get excited yet. Let your people continue the investigation until we have enough evidence."
"Of course, I will provide enough evidence, but I need your support."
"No problem, I will give you the greatest support"
After getting the answer he wanted, Ferdinand nodded and walked out of Henry's office, leaving Henry struggling with something.
More than a week later, Ferdinand came to Henry's office again
"Henry, I have enough evidence, I think we should take action"
"Don't worry, I think we need to ask His Majesty for instructions first."
"Okay, as you wish"
The two then came to Sanssouci Palace to see William
.............................
"Your Majesty, Prince Henry and Prince Ferdinand have come to Sanssouci Palace to ask to see you."
Buell walked up to William who was practicing fencing and whispered quietly. When he heard that Ferdinand and Henry wanted to see him together, William frowned. There must be something going on when these two people came to Sanssouci Palace together.
"Teacher Goeved, I think I want to go out first."
As William's fencing teacher, Goeved was very reluctant to have William disturbed while he was fencing, but he also heard Buell's words, so at this thought Goeved nodded and let William leave.
"Henry, Ferdinand, why are you two free to come to Sanssouci Palace today?"
William walked to the side room of the palace, where Ferdinand and Henry were waiting for William. When they saw William leaving, they tried their best to salute William quickly.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Ferdinand and I came here today to ask your Majesty for a ruling on something."
"Oh, what is it?"
After hearing William's answer, Henry subconsciously glanced at Buell next to William.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the two princes, I will take my leave first. Your Majesty, if you need anything, please call me. I will stand guard at the door."
Henry made such an obvious hint, and Buell, who was like a man, naturally knew what it meant, so before William could speak, Buell saluted them and exited the room.
"Okay, if you have anything to do, just tell me."
After saying that, William walked to the chair in the room and sat down.
Henry and Ferdinand looked at each other, and then Henry took a step forward and said:
"Your Majesty, we have discovered a very serious case that requires your instructions."
"Oh, please tell me first what the case is."
William frowned and looked at Henry. It was obviously not a small case to be able to make Henry and Ferdinand, two of the top bosses of the Prussian military, come together with synesthesia.
"Your Majesty, according to your request, the more than 10,000 soldiers we have recruited are undergoing intense training, and the relevant equipment is gradually being put in place. However, according to reports from below, the war horses used for the equipment are shoddy."
"What did you say"
William stood up from the chair all of a sudden, obviously very excited on his face
"Your Majesty, as Prince Henry said, among the horses equipped for this newly expanded army, we found that quite a number of horses are in a worse condition than before."
"how many?"
Ferdinand's words attracted William's attention.
"According to our investigation, there are probably nearly a thousand war horses that do not meet the requirements of military horses, but are purchased in the name of military horses."
Listening to Ferdinand's answer, William felt that his head was going to explode. He had not easily come up with enough money to expand the army by piecing together things, but now someone actually took action against the funds that he had finally raised.
This makes William calm down.
"You mean there is some inside story"
"Your Majesty, I think so. If I hadn't made an impromptu trip to inspect the army last time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have discovered anything wrong with the procurement of war horses."
"Okay, someone actually had an idea for the military horse. I think those people are tired of living. Ferdinand, do you have any evidence in your hand?"
As he spoke, William kicked over the chair he had just been sitting on.
"Your Majesty, I have evidence, and I have sent people to secretly investigate the person behind this case."
"You are doing a good job, continue to follow up, and remember not to act rashly until the mastermind behind the scenes is investigated. I will ask someone to cooperate with you."
