Leopold II's order caused some trouble in Vienna, but the Vienna top leaders were completely silent in this matter.
Royal members are naturally different from ordinary people. As long as a royal member like Carl becomes an adult, it is very normal to be named general immediately. After all, the starting point for the royal children is there, and no one thinks that nobles like Carl should get up from the bottom like those civilians at the bottom.
On this side, Carl, who was the first to lead the army, swore his hands to establish his own fame on the battlefield. On the other side, Marshal Dessau, who was originally in Denmark, rushed to the Bohemia front after receiving William's order.
The Fourth Division arrived in the Bohemia region first, so the forces in the Bohemia region reached nearly 50,000. Because the Second Division was urgently transferred to the Bavarian region, the Second Division was officially divided into the Main River War Zone.
However, the newly expanded Prussian 19th Division is on its way to Bohemia. Once the 19th Division arrives, the Prussian army in Bohemia will reach 60,000.
When Dessau arrived at the front line, the division commanders of the three divisions originally on the Bohemia front immediately rushed to Dessau.
"Marson, we have been looking forward to your coming!"
As he said that, a smile appeared on Nichlau's face.
Marshal Dessau was the few remaining veterans in Prussia, and Dessau's achievements in the war for Prussia for decades also allowed him to accumulate great reputation in the Prussian army. In addition, Dessau was the second president of the Brandenburg Military Academy after Marshal Chitten, so in Prussia, Dessau's status was very special.
The first batch of graduates of Brandenburg Military Academy were mostly ranked as middle-level backbone in the Prussian army, and to be honest, Dessau students were spread throughout the Prussian army, and Nichlau, as the first graduate of Brandenburg Military Academy, naturally had a little more awe of the teaching director of his student days.
"Okay, Nichilao, don't flatter me here. I haven't seen you for some years. You are all a dignified division commander. I really can't underestimate you!"
"Hehe, Marshal, don't you know that I am the most active in teaching your class in the college. If you can't get promoted faster, wouldn't it be a shame for your teachings to me in the college?"
Although Dessau knew that Nichlau was complimenting himself, Dessau still laughed. After all, no one was unhappy when he saw his students climbing to higher positions.
However, Dessau did not visit Nichlao to reminisce about the past. After all, there are more than two of them in the military tent now, including Rumorin of the 7th Division, Mark of the 10th Division, and Reohard of the 4th Division.
"I guess these two are General Rumorin and General Mark!"
After hearing Dessau's words, Rumorin and Mark quickly saluted and replied loudly:
"Your Excellency General, you are here!"
Dessau is not very familiar with Rumorin and Mark, after all, these two have not served under Dessau's command. However, Rumorin and Mark have naturally been famous for their reputation for Dessau for a long time.
Seeing Rumorin and Mark's attitude, Dessau nodded with satisfaction and smiled:
"The two generals are so polite. We are both serving His Majesty. We are colleagues and we don't need to be so polite!"
Although Dessau has said that he does not need to be polite, Rumorin and Mark's performance is still quite cautious, after all, the Prussian army is of strict hierarchy.
Then, Dessau coughed twice, and when he heard Dessau's cough, the four division commanders in the room immediately stood in front of Dessau. The performance of the four division commanders made Dessau very satisfied, but after the four division commanders stood still, Dessau's face turned into a solemn
"This time, His Majesty the King appointed me as the commander of the Bohemia War Zone. This is the supreme trust of His Majesty the King. As the Marshal of the Kingdom, I shoulder the hope of the whole country. And you, as the commanders of the four divisions under my command, are the most powerful fists of the Kingdom. Therefore, I require that in this battle, the Bohemia War Zone must unite and do its best, dare to resist disrespect, and those who act privately will kill them!"
After a while, the four division commanders on the opposite side looked at each other, but then, led by the commander of the 4th Division, Reohard, all responded.
Afterwards, Marshal Dessau discussed the next step with the four division commanders.
Because of the Austrian army's fierce attack, three divisions of the seventh, nineth and ten were firmly nailed to the position. Unlike in the past, the Austrians obviously did their best this time, and each attack made the Prussian army feel extraordinary pressure.
Because the Fourth Division had just arrived in Bohemia with Dessau, the Military Department fully delegated the power to Dessau for the mission of the Fourth Division. After thinking for a while, Dessau decided that the Fourth Division would go to the Western Front of Bohemia, which is the front line of the Ninth Division.
But Dessau was not prepared to let the 4th Division go into battle immediately.
Opposite the Ninth Division was the 16,000 Austrian army led by Austria. Originally, Eugenio's troops had 23,000 troops, but after Leopold II's order, Eugenio's troops drew nine thousand troops and handed them to Ian to lead to the Main River.
Later, Eugenio's troops were also supplemented from Vienna, but like Prussia, Austria was too long, and Austria was not like Prussia. There was also an Ottoman beside Austria who was eyeing Vienna day and night.
In addition, the emergency in Eastern Europe has reached Vienna. Under such circumstances, it can be said that the Austrian government has also made its best efforts to supplement Euhenio.
However, it is a joke to break through the defense line of the Prussian army with such troops. The Ninth Division is at least a veteran Prussian division with more than 13,000 troops. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to break through the defense line of the Ninth Division with 16,000 people.
In Dessau's vision, while the Austrian army opposite the 9th Division did not know the changes in the Prussian army on the opposite side, then while the Austrian army was unprepared, it would attack the Austrians and a beautiful counterattack. Once the Eugenio troops were defeated, the two divisions liberated could quickly break through to the Bohemia mid-line battlefield. At that time, a right hook would definitely make the Austrians feel good.
Dessau's arrangement can be said to be a very orthodox tactic. In Dessau's view, the Austrian army on the front line of Bohemia has only less than 50,000 people, and such a force is exactly the same as the Prussian army. Under such circumstances, the Prussian army can completely change its previous defensive strategy at this moment.
After Dessau's order was issued, all the 4th Division gathered on the western front of Bohemia. When the 4th Division was moving westward, the 11th Division of Silesia suddenly appeared on the flank of the opposite Austrian army under the leadership of the division commander Bill. Then, with the cooperation of the 12th Division, Bill successfully defeated the opposite Austrian army.
But before Bill was happy, the military command came down, which was to order Ferdinand Jr. to be the commander of the Silesian War Theater, which made Bill a little depressed.
You should know that before, although the Military Department did not clearly establish the Silesian War Zone, because of Vincent and Yarman's respect for Bill, Bill actually became the commander of the PLA in the Silesian region. Now that Ferdinand comes, Bill will undoubtedly return to the role of the original division commander.
However, this commander was held by Ferdinand Jr., and Bill really had nothing to say.
Bill's original boss was Prince Ferdinand, and he was naturally very familiar with the little Ferdinand, whom he regarded as the successor of the prince. Not only Bill, but also Vincent and Yarman, because the three of them could be said to have served under Prince Ferdinand.
Although William's military reforms weakened the influence of some veterans in the army, the influence of veteran military leaders like Ferdinand has long been deeply rooted in the army.
To be honest, William had been very worried about the influence of these veterans, but even the protagonists like William who traveled through time from later generations cannot completely eliminate the influence of these veterans.
The army is a group that admires heroes very much, and every general who can lead the army to victory is the hero in the eyes of these soldiers, which is impossible to erase.
William knew about the factions within the army, but William did not think there was anything wrong with such a controlled faction.
People like the founding Taizu of later generations once said helplessly, "There is no party within the party, the emperor's thoughts, and there are no factions within the party, and there are all kinds of strange things!"
This can be said to be a kind of tolerance, but also a kind of helplessness.
Human beings are always complex creatures. People’s hearts are separated from their belly. You cannot ask everyone to convince you from the bottom of your heart. That is simply unrealistic, so you can only do your best to win over most people to suppress a few people.
The purpose William wants to achieve is to make his prestige surpass these veterans to ensure his stability.
In this way, the military police camps and ideological education offices established by William in the army became very important.
However, although Bill lifted the pressure on the Austrian army faced by Silesia, the Austrian army still had strength opposite Silesia. Bill only defeated some of the Austrian troops without defeating the entire line of the Austrian army. After the war, the Austrian army still had a scale of more than 30,000 people.
After Ferdinand Jr. took office as the war, Bill did not show any dissatisfaction, and Ferdinand Jr. naturally respected Bill very much.
After taking over the military power of Silesia, Ferdinand Jr. was not busy launching a new round of offensive against the opposite Austrian army. The II devoted himself to digesting the results of the last battle and then pushed the front line into Moravia.
