The governance of post-war territories is undoubtedly a very troublesome issue for any monarch. Fortunately, the powerful Prussian army is suppressing these areas at all times, so that those with evil intentions can only plan in secret. As for the open side,
But no one dares to raise the flag of rebellion.
This kind of superficial peace was the most precious thing to William. He wanted to use this time to recuperate, especially for the Prussian army. After experiencing brutal battles, most Prussian soldiers needed to receive certain psychological treatment.
In later generations, William often saw news in newspapers about veterans who were not able to enjoy their old age in peace after retiring from the army. After all, for every soldier who had been on the battlefield, the war was not a good memory, and because of this,
There are many cases of hurting others and hurting oneself. It is precisely because of seeing so many such reports that William specially set up a psychological treatment group in the Prussian army. These psychological treatment groups will specifically target those who have just experienced combat.
Soldiers receive psychological counseling and treatment.
After inspecting the port of Kiel, William did not return to Brandenburg immediately, but went to Holstein, where there was the largest military horse breeding base in Prussia.
There are more than 500 stallions and nearly 10,000 mares in the entire Holstein horse farm, and this is also the largest source of Prussian war horses.
Holstein war horses are the most prestigious in the world. Although this kind of war horse is not as tall as the British Shire horse nor as endurance as the Turkic horse, this kind of horse is more powerful than the other.
When William was led by a horse farm manager to a stable where newborn ponies were raised, there were five veterinarians in the stable examining these ponies.
Not all horses are born suitable to become war horses, even if the parents of these ponies are the best war horses.
Veterinarians' examination of the ponies will screen out some ponies with problems. If the problem is not very serious, these horses will be trained as horses. As for those ponies that are not even suitable for horses, they will be trained.
Humanity is destroyed. It can be said that blood also exists in the world of war horses.
Those ponies that pass the inspection will receive war horse development training from the moment they are born, while those who fail will also be eliminated one after another.
Generally speaking, even for horses of excellent breed, only two out of three horses will become war horses, which means that the elimination rate of war horses is as much as one-third.
The Prussian army needs a large number of war horses, and even the Prussian army, which currently has a total strength of nearly 300,000 troops including local guards, has hundreds of thousands of horses, of which about 80,000 are war horses, while the rest are equipment
Army horses and some spare horses.
Such a number seems to be very large, but according to the information fed back from the army, the number of war horses currently equipped by the Prussian army simply cannot meet the army's requirements.
A Prussian full cavalry regiment had 1,200 cavalry, and these 1,200 cavalry often needed to be equipped with more than 1,500 horses, and artillery units similar to Prussia were even more in demand for horses. Those heavy artillery must be equipped with more than 1,500 horses.
A large number of horses are required to drag them around the battlefield.
Soon, after inspecting the racecourse, William first expressed condolences to all the staff of the racecourse on behalf of the Prussian government. William praised the staff of these racecourses as heroes who dedicated their youth to Prussia on another front.
In addition, William also made a request. That is, the horse farm in Holstein must achieve leapfrog development within five years, and the number of war horses must exceed 30%.
"I know this task is very difficult, but on the road to the rise of Prussia, who dares to say it is easy! What we are doing now is not for ourselves, we are for all Prussians and our descendants
Descendants!
War horses are man’s good friends, and these war horses will become Prussia’s weapon. Prussia’s rise cannot be without the help of war horses. And the cultivation of these war horses is inseparable from your hard work!”
William received a lot of applause after his speech.
As a king, William's itinerary can be said to be fully arranged. After leaving the racecourse, William also cordially received officials from all levels of the local government in Holstein.
Just when William stayed in Holstein for one night, he also received military reports from Western Europe. Armen annihilated the French army led by Lucien.
After learning the news, William immediately called Hornde over.
"Horned, you must also know that Arman has already wiped out Lucien. To be honest, I didn't expect Arman to complete this task at this time. After all, his previous performance really disappointed me.
But now that Jarman has completed his mission, our next step will undoubtedly be to consider the possibility of entering Paris, and I hope you can express your opinion on this!"
Hearing William's question, Hornder was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, Hornder reacted immediately, and then the Prussian royal steward said to William:
"Your Majesty the King, I think this matter is good news for us in Prussia. After defeating Lucien, the coalition forces can mobilize all their forces to attack Paris. The huge coalition forces are bound to capture Paris, and our Prussia's prestige will be
Shining over the continent of Europa again!"
Hornde's tone sounded a little excited.
Yes! Paris, no general can be excited in front of the city of Paris. After all, as the capital of the Sun King who once dominated Europe, conquering Paris will be the greatest glory in a general's life!
But after listening to Hornde's words, William frowned and said:
"Honder, I want you to express your opinion, not to flatter you here. If you were the coach of the coalition, what method would you use to attack Paris?"
Faced with William's slightly sharp eyes, Hornder suddenly became nervous. The topic raised by William seemed to be asking Hornder about his thoughts. In fact, this was not a test for Hornder.
William was quite dissatisfied with Hornde's failure to fully control the royal intelligence agency after taking over the post of steward of the Buel royal family.
Although the information about Anna's assassination was due to Buell's acquiescence, the royal intelligence agency was basically deaf and blind, but this did not show Horn's lack of ability.
William will not care how long Hornd has served as the royal steward. He will only care about Hornder's ability to complete the tasks assigned to him by William! As the king's loyal dog, the royal steward must be responsible to the king for everything he does.
Obviously, Hornder simply failed in his duty regarding Anna's assassination.
Hornde pondered for a while, and then said:
"Your Majesty the King, if I were the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, then I would immediately build a fleet in the lower reaches of the Seine River. At the same time, I would deploy troops and horses under the city of Paris to prevent Parisian raids. After the fleet is formed, I will
Use the fleet to carry soldiers into the Paris section of the Seine River, and then land in Paris!"
The idea proposed by Hornde is undoubtedly a very good idea. After all, no matter how crazy the French are, they will never completely block the Seine River, and even if the French want to completely block the Seine River, they may be unable to do so.
After all, the Prussians would not sit back and watch the French block the Seine River.
As long as the Seine River can flow, the coalition forces can completely bypass the solid offensive on the Paris city walls and a large number of artillery to enter Paris from the waterway and then land on both sides of Paris.
After Hornde finished speaking, William's brows slightly opened, but then William asked again:
"What if the French block the Seine River and the enemy has tens of thousands of reinforcements on their way to help? How should you choose?"
Hornde said without hesitation:
"In this case, I think encircling the point and calling for reinforcements is the best way! We can only defeat the enemy's reinforcements as soon as possible, so that the enemy loses support in their hearts and forces them to make mistakes. This way we have a chance!"
After hearing that none of what Hornd said before and after mentioned the storming of Paris, William could be said to be quite satisfied at this moment.
Like Ferdinand the Younger, William also believed that storming Paris was a very stupid tactic. No one would adopt this stupid tactic unless it was a last resort.
Ferdinand the Younger knew about the changes in the city of Paris, and how could William, the King of Prussia, not know about it. In this case, William had realized that Paris had become a huge hedgehog. If there was no good way, he would attack by force.
Paris will only leave the Allied forces themselves bruised and debilitated.
And this is exactly what the coalition forces don't want to see.
For William, he naturally did not want the coalition to suffer too much losses. You must know that Prussia has the largest number of troops among this coalition. Even the two divisions of the Holy Roman Empire, to a certain extent,
Said that they were also the armed forces of Prussia.
And how could William be willing to have his own armed forces damaged for no reason?
"Well, Horned. What you said is quite good, and your opinion is quite correct. But now we still have to see what little Ferdinand thinks. As long as Ferdinand doesn't choose the stupidest method, then he
You will gain my greatest trust!"
After saying that, William stepped down from the throne, walked to Hornder, patted Hornder on the shoulder and said:
"Anna's matter is in the past, and I don't blame you. But if this happens again in the future, not only will you no longer be in charge of the royal family, but you will also be punished. You know this in your heart.
!”
Before Hornde could defend himself, William said again:
"I know you don't like Her Majesty the Queen, or it's not a secret in Prussia. After all, you had a bad time with Queen Anna when you were in Vienna, but I don't want you to bring this emotion to work!
Especially since Anna is still the Queen of Prussia, and as the loyal dog of the Prussian royal family, Her Highness the Queen is also a being that you must never touch. Do you understand what I mean?"
As William spoke, he looked at Hornde coldly. Under the gaze of William's eyes, Hornde felt cold all over for a moment.
Suddenly Hornder suddenly knelt down in front of William and shouted:
"Your Majesty the King, as your loyal dog, I will swear to be loyal to you to the death, and there will never be any change in this! As for Her Royal Highness Queen Anna, I will definitely fulfill my duties as the royal steward!"
After getting an answer from Hornde, William nodded with satisfaction.
William was still very satisfied with Horned. Under this situation, William had no intention of severely punishing Horned, but in William's opinion, appropriate beatings were still necessary. Otherwise, the increasingly arrogant powerful people would
Being too powerful to control was the fundamental reason for the demise of many dynasties.
After Horne finished half-kneeling, William said with a smile:
"Very well, Horned. Now that you understand your responsibilities, get up. Remember what you just said. I also hope that this will become your guideline for doing things in the future!"
After saying that, William reached out to pull Horned himself. Seeing this scene, how could Horned really let William's hand help him? Horned suddenly stood up.
After Hornde left the room, William squinted his eyes and started thinking.
When he was at the Brandenburg Palace, William had beaten many people, but because of Karina and Du Li, William did not weaken Rocks and Hans and their power too much.
, but this does not mean that William can tolerate the people around him gradually forming an alliance that even he has to shy away from.
Therefore, William decided to beat the arrogant soldiers around him to make them understand who is their master. Who is the existence they need to fear!
At present, most of the people involved in the assassination of Anna have been dealt with by William. Although no one lost their lives, there are also a group of people who were picked out by William to serve as a warning to the monkeys.
However, there is still one person in William's mind who needs to be dealt with carefully, and this person is Marshal Dessau.
In Prussia, Marshal Dessau's prestige is not much less than that of Prince Henry. A large number of Prussian teenagers and Prussian soldiers regard Marshal Dessau as an idol.
Under such circumstances, William naturally had to be extremely cautious in his handling of Dessau. Otherwise, if it aroused dissatisfaction in Dessau, it would not be a good thing for either William or Prussia.
William's public canonization of Dafilia before can be seen as a blow to Dessau. However, William did not explain it, but William also believed that the smart Dessau would be able to see clearly the deeper reasons behind his canonization of Dafilia.
Deep reasons.
For William, he doesn't want his men to be a piece of loose sand, but he also doesn't want his men to be monolithic.
At most, the disunity will only mean the loss of external offensive power and the decline of national strength. But if these ministers really unite as one, then William should be the one who has a headache.
Soon, in mid-September, William came to Western Lithuania again.
Western Lithuania has been annexed to Prussia for quite some time, and as the dowry prepared by William for Christine, Western Lithuania was specially developed by Prussia, not to mention that the existence of Western Lithuania is also a huge bridgehead for Prussia in Eastern Europe.
.
At present, the Swedes and Russia have become a mess in Poland, and under such circumstances, if Prussia wants to obtain maximum benefits, then the existence of Western Lithuania is very important.
In the capital of Western Lithuania, William met with local ministers and representatives of the garrison. William paid considerable attention to the feedback from the garrison representatives that the Swedish army had repeatedly entered Western Lithuania.
Although the Prussian government lodged a solemn protest with the Swedish government and the war between Sweden and Russia officially broke out, the frequency of such invasions decreased a lot, but this does not mean that this situation has not happened again.
After Kutuzov's defeat, Alexander used his name as Emperor of the Russian Empire to directly declare war on Sweden, despite Bagration's objections.
Although it was the Swedish army that first helped Kutuzov's rebels fight against the Russian Empire, in William's view, Emperor Alexander's decision was still quite reckless.
Although the Russian Empire defeated the Kutuzov rebels and regained the Courland area, due to several years of war, these areas have been almost turned into a desert, and the Russian Empire's logistical supplies cannot be raised from these areas at all.
Need to transfer from St. Petersburg.
Although the situation of the Swedes is not much better than that of the Russians, the Swedes have a very important advantage, that is, the Swedes have more sufficient war reserves than the Russians.
At the moment, the Russians are not the only enemy of Sweden. You must know that the Brankov rebels in Moscow have not been completely wiped out. In this case, they rashly declared war on the Swedes. The Emperor Alexander was not killed by the previous series.
The victory goes to his head and he becomes completely crazy.
Among William's guesses, it is naturally more of the former.
In fact, what William didn't know was that Alexander also had his own helplessness regarding Sweden's declaration of war.
Alexander knew that now was not the best time to fight the Swedes, but Alexander could not wait that long. You must know that during the Battle of Kutuzov, the Swedes had clearly stated that they were enemies of Russia.
Attitude, in this case, if the Swedes are allowed to integrate the power of Eastern Lithuania and Poland, then there is no way that Russia will pay a greater price for it in the future!
