Although the drunkard didn't know where the swallow was sent or what mission, the drunkard had seen the swallow once, which was also cited by him as a topic of conversation.
Later, the intelligence officer under Napoleon reported what the drunkard said to his superiors, and the head of the Brandenburg intelligence agency believed that the intelligence was quite valuable, so he was quickly sent to Brussels.
Based on the physical characteristics described on the paper, Napoleon suddenly sent a message to the swallow described on the paper that was very similar to Rembecca beside him, but he did not have clear evidence at the moment. Therefore, on the one hand, Napoleon began to pay attention to Rembecca in his heart, and on the other hand, he immediately sent a message to the head of the Brandenburg intelligence agency, asking him to send the drunkard to Brussels.
On May 10, 1793, the coalition forces that were pursuing all the way finally arrived at the city of Brussels. At the same time, after the coalition forces arrived at the city of Brussels, in order to prevent the situation of Nicolas from happening again. Under William's order, the coalition forces only besieged Brussels in the west and south directions.
Not only Napoleon knew about the news that 30,000 Spanish troops were about to arrive in Brussels, but also the coalition forces also learned about it shortly afterwards.
Because of Ernst's coma, William deployed Ernst and the British army around him, and assigned the two divisions of the Empire to the command of the Dutch ruler William V. In addition, the Dutch army and the 11th and 12th Divisions of Prussia, William V, had nearly 50,000 troops.
In order to better cooperate with William V and out of his heart, William appointed Ferdinand Jr. as William V's deputy general. This 50,000 army will strike the Spanish army head-on when it arrives outside Brussels.
In this way, the troops directly under William were the Prussian royal guards, the fourth, sixth, seventh and eleventh Prussian divisions, plus nearly 30,000 British troops. The total force was 70,000.
After William's order was issued, William V of the Netherlands found William in front of William and asked in confusion:
"His Majesty William, why did our 50,000 troops attack before the Spanish reinforcements marched outside Brussels? If the troops in Brussels took advantage of our attack on the Spanish, it would be quite dangerous?"
William said with a smile when he heard William V's words;
"Your Highness, I am going to launch an offensive against the Spanish army not far from Brussels. If the French in Brussels do not see hope, then how could they go out of the city to rescue the Spanish! And what I need is the enemy in Brussels who leave the city!"
Seeing that there was still a look of doubt on William V's face. William continued to explain:
"Brussels has a complete city defense system and a large amount of supplies in the city, especially Brussels is a big city with a considerable number of residents. If the enemy defends it, then our army will have no other way except to fight with the French. But in that case, our army will definitely suffer considerable casualties, and our army's strength seems to be strong. But even if our army wins, we must not want to see it. Since this is the case, then we might as well lead the army out of the city, and these Spanish troops are fishing baits!"
After hearing William's explanation, William V's face was a little calm, but at the same time his heart was tight. You should know that if William was arranged like this, the army led by William V would inevitably undertake the most important combat tasks on the entire battlefield. On the one hand, he would defeat the Spaniards, and on the other hand, he would also prevent the French army in Brussels from attacking him.
It seemed that William V's embarrassment was seen. William said again:
"Of course, you don't have to worry. After you attack the Spaniards, I will secretly place the troops of the two divisions to your rear to relieve your worries!"
Only after hearing William say this did William V feel relieved.
In fact, if it weren't for William V's special identity, then in William's opinion, the most suitable person to take on this task was undoubtedly Ferdinand Jr. After all, although William V had led his army to defeat 30,000 French troops before, the 30,000 French troops were completely drawn from various places by Louis XV. To put it bluntly, it was considered a mob. If William V led an army with twice the strength of the enemy, he could not defeat the enemy, then William would despise this Dutch hereditary ruler!
After William V left, William summoned Carlo immediately.
Since Du Li obtained Hans' support, although he gave up Du Li's idea of going to the front line, Hans and Du Li decided to send Carlo to William's side.
When he saw Carlo, William was quite excited. You should know that these two childhood playmates had not met for a whole year. As soon as Carlo came in, William rushed forward and gave him a big hug.
"My friend, we finally meet again, Carlo, you don't know how much I miss you boy!"
"Your Majesty, I miss you too. I just finished the task, and I immediately applied to my superiors to come to your side!"
After letting go of Carlo, William looked at Carlo carefully, and saw a scar on Carlo's neck that looked very scary. William frowned and asked:
"What's going on your neck?"
"Hehe, Your Majesty, this was injured by the enemy when he was fighting with people in France. Now it has healed, but it has just left a scar!"
"That's good, that's good. If there is anything wrong with you, your sister will not tear me to pieces!"
After William finished speaking, both of them laughed.
Carlo is one year older than William and is twenty-four years old this year as Napoleon. Although the two have not seen each other several times since William grew up, the friendship they formed in childhood still makes the relationship between them extraordinary. In addition to the ambiguous relationship between William and Du Li, William felt a little guilty in addition to friendship for Carlo's brother-in-law.
"Carlo, I think you should not be in the intelligence department anymore. Why not transfer me to my side!"
After the two sat down, looking at the mature Carlo, William felt very satisfied and also invited Carlo. In William's opinion, Hans only had two children, Du Li and Carlo, and Du Li has now followed him secretly. If he could not give Carlo a wealth, how could he be worthy of the Hans family's support for him.
Although Hans has mastered Prussian intelligence department, the higher the intelligence department, it can only become narrower and narrower. After all, although the intelligence department can sometimes enjoy things that ordinary people cannot enjoy, its danger is huge after all. If Carlo really has some shortcomings, he will definitely be sorry to the Hans family.
"Your Majesty, this is not very good."
"Nothing, Carlo, even if your family doesn't agree, I don't agree to let you work in the intelligence department this time."
As he said that, William pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's do this, come into the palace, there is still a place in the royal guards. After this war is over, I will let you go to the royal guards to serve as a regiment commander!"
William offered a favorable condition. In the Eastern words, the royal guards were the personal army of the emperor. As a person around William, there were naturally more opportunities for treatment or promotion than in other armies.
It was not William's whim to get Carlo into the Royal Guards, but William had this idea long ago. The Royal Guards must always be in the hands of his confidants, and Carlo is undoubtedly the person William trusts the most. Originally, William was planning to let Carlo serve as the head of the intelligence department after Hans, after all, the intelligence department's big stance also needs loyal and reliable people to control.
But today the huge wound on Karo's neck made William have a different idea. Although the royal guards need to go to the battlefield to fight, they are safer than the intelligence spies after all.
What's more, William really felt too lonely. He was surrounded by a group of generals who were much older than him, and even those staff members were rarely the same age as William. In this case, William hoped that there would be a young man around him who was about the same age as him, so that he could say something in his heart and not hold it in his heart. Carlo was undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.
"If your Majesty asks, then I have no objection!"
In fact, the reason why Du Li and Hans asked Carlo to come to William's side was because they hoped that William could keep Carlo by his side.
Du Li had already made up her mind to deal with Anna, and Hans was naturally firmly standing on the side of her daughter. In this way, although Hans and the Locks family had strong power in the Prussian government and intelligence agencies, there was no one around William.
There is no doubt that Hornder is a neutral member by his side. After all, when Buel chooses his heir, he first looks at the background. The position of the royal chief is too important. This position can only be held by those who are loyal to the king and must not be handed over to those with some strong factional background.
Both Hans and Locks lack their own influence in the palace. After all, the palace has Queen Louise in charge. Even if you try your best, you may not be able to arrange your staff to important positions in the palace.
Now, because of his relationship with William, Carlo is completely possible to be rooted in the Prussian palace. In this way, Du Li is undoubtedly a huge killer weapon when she launches the fight against Anna.
This is why Hans agreed to Du Li's plan. After all, the family will prosper and lose both. Now that Du Li has made up her mind, the family will have to support her fully. As Du Li's brother and the heir of the family, Carlo has no choice but to do so!
