"The establishment and enrollment of military academies is just one of them," William said incomprehensibly, in fact, this question was improvised by William, and William wanted to test the sensitivity of these two to current affairs through this question After listening to William's answer, Blucher began to think more, the young king did not seem to be just a momentary amusement as he thought, as if the king had a long-term plan, but what was this long-term plan.
For a man who had participated in the Seven Years' War and made military achievements, and was eager to realize his life ambitions through the army, it was more uncomfortable for him to leave the army than to kill him, and Blucher had been put on hold for nine years before that, which made Blucher transform from a young and promising young officer into an ordinary uncle, and Blücher, who was unwilling to be buried like this, saw that God had put such an opportunity in front of him, and he realized that he must grasp this golden opportunity.
Just when Blücher was thinking about it, Scharnhorst, who had been silent, spoke, and he whispered: "Is Your Majesty intent on a major overhaul of the Prussian army and even the state system?"
In a word, I'll let me go, it's too godly, William thought in his heart In fact, it is not surprising that Scharnhorst could guess, and William's previous series of big moves made everyone realize that the young king could not wait to reform Prussia.
But everyone's eyes were only on the army, and the idea of reforming the state system was only revealed to a few close people, and William believed that even if those people would reveal it, they would not let the Scharnhorst, who had just arrived in Prussia, know.
Your Excellency Enhorst, you really impress me, where did you see that" William was a little shocked in his heart, but the good habits he had developed over the years made his face move at all.
Blucher, who was also with him, was surprised by the conversation between Wilhelm and Scharnhorst, and the little king's appetite had reached such a point that the reform of the state system was a declaration of war on the entire Junker aristocracy, which was the basis of Prussia, and the Junker aristocracy was a group of people who could not be moved.
But in this case, it can explain the king's recent series of methods in the army, he wants to eradicate the power of the Junker nobles in the army, so as to pave the way for greater actions in the future!
Blucher, who is a Junker himself, was instantly entangled, originally, such a good opportunity would be seized by everyone, but once he was accepted by William, then as William's methods continued to be used, his own interests would be tied to William and become the enemy of the Junker class.
On the one hand, he refuses William's solicitation now, and on the other hand, he will follow William to Juncker in the future, and the victory and defeat rate may only be between five or five.
Not to mention Blucher's egg pain, after just hearing William's question, Scharnhorst learned that he had guessed the right answer, which made Scharnhorst happy, he raised his head and looked at William with blazing eyes, and then analyzed: "Your Majesty, in fact, these are my blind guesses, but since the Austro-Prussian War, your series of actions have made people wonder if you have any big ideas, if you are an ordinary person, you may not stop at all when the Austro-Prussian War has achieved such a big advantage, but will continue to increase your efforts, but your choice is a little incomprehensible" Scharnhorst did not respond positively to William, but spoke about William's performance in the Austro-Prussian War.
"At first, like many people, I didn't understand why His Majesty had changed so much, but then a series of actions in Prussia after the war, including the Prussian Alliance and the establishment of the Warsaw Pact of the Three Kingdoms, made people confused.
The Prussia alliance was clearly directed against Russia and Denmark, and the signing of the Warsaw Pact between the three countries also led to a certain understanding between the two countries.
The establishment of the Prussian League deepened the prejudice of Russia and Denmark against Prussia, and the signing of the Warsaw Pact was not only Prussia's practice of stabilizing Russia, but also indirectly provoked the relationship between Russia and Denmark.
The dissipation of the neutral armed alliance is not only conducive to the British to strengthen the suppression of North America, but also to the influence of Prussia in the Baltic region, you must know that Prussia has sent troops to North America to help the British ** team suppress the rebellion, in a sense the neutral armed alliance is an alliance against Prussia.
It was His Majesty's wisest choice to end the war with Austria in time, and if it continued to fight, even if Vienna was breached, Prussia would face a desperate resistance from the Habsburgs, and the occupied territories would not only not provide Prussia with fresh blood, but would become a bleeding wound for Prussia all the time.
In order to destroy Austria, either the Habsburgs will die, or they will have to exert strict control over the occupied territories in a peaceful external situation, or even reduce them in a systematic way."
Well, please allow Mr.
Scharnhorst to digress, we can think that he is slapping William's ass, not mentioning Blücher's expression as if he had swallowed a fly, but William enjoyed it anyway.
"After this series of actions, His Majesty's prestige on the European continent was unparalleled for a while, and at home it was like Christ on earth, and at this time the establishment of the Brandenburg Military Academy was like the existence of a stroke of genius, which made all ordinary people see the steps to advancement.
From this, it can be seen that His Majesty is playing a big game of chess."
As soon as he said this, Scharnhorst closed his mouth and did not continue, but his meaning was fully expressed.
William gave Scharnhorst a deep look, then turned his gaze to Blucher and said: "Your Excellency Blucher, what kind of chess do you think I'm playing next?"
Under the pressure of William's eyes, Blucher finally made a choice, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for taking the liberty of sorting out the external environment, uniting the ordinary people in the country, and then using them against the Junker aristocracy" As soon as he finished saying this, Blucher took a few deep breaths, as if this sentence had condensed all the strength of his whole body.
"Why do you think that I will deal with the Junker aristocracy, on the contrary, my series of actions are aimed at getting the Junkers back on the right path, and you must all know that the reason why Britain and France have become the key factor in the whole world is that they have long since abolished serfdom, and we in Prussia are still continuing this rotten system, which in my opinion is not only a harm to the nation, but also a cancer to the country.
But the present Prussia cannot abolish serfdom rashly, once it is abolished now, then all the nobles of the whole kingdom will stand up against me, and then the whole Prussia will be torn apart, and the results of the efforts of the previous kings will be reduced to nothingness.
It is under such circumstances that I was forced to reform the army, and although our army achieved great results in the Austro-Prussian War, we also recognized its shortcomings.
In the battle with the French on the Western Front, although the French logistics are not in place, but the tenacity of their soldiers is still worthy of our admiration, compared with most of our army are temporary conscripted soldiers, but we are logistically perfect, and the French are short of food and clothing, it is in this situation, those French soldiers are still very brave in fighting, although the result of the battle is that we have won but the process is worthy of our reflection.
Well, having said all that, I wonder if the two of you will do their part for the strength of Prussia," Wilhelm asked Blucher, of course, happily agreed to William's offer, but Scharnhorst hesitated a little and asked William: "Your Majesty, I'm still a Hanoverian at the moment, and I may not be able to work for you for the time being."
But when William heard what he said, he was not angry, but laughed out loud, and said as he laughed: "By the time I brought you here, your identity had already changed to that of Prussian, and the officials of Hanover had already cancelled your place of origin" Well, hearing the news, Scharnhorst was very shocked, but the situation was stronger than people, and after being stunned for a while, he also agreed to William's solicitation.
Just after the two agreed, William announced the appointment to the two
