No wonder Henry has such feelings, 9,000 Russian troops entered the East Prussian region plus Mikharilev's headquarters in the early stage, and the troops sent by the Russian army to East Prussia reached a total of more than 13,000 people, which can no longer be described as a conflict, this is completely a war deliberately launched by the Russians. //.// Thinking of this, Henry hurriedly rushed to the Prussian military camp outside the city, he needed to inform Ferdinand of the news, and at the same time, the two needed to discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible, and the news should be notified to Sanssouci Palace as soon as possible.
After Henry hurried to the barracks, ignoring the greetings of the officers around him, II rushed all the way into Ferdinand's tent, and after Ferdinand heard a hurried sound of horses' hooves, he was displeased to let Blucher see who it was, and if he was riding in the barracks for no reason, he would take it immediately.
But before Blucher could carry out this order, he heard the guard at the door say in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness Prince Henry has arrived" Hearing this, Ferdinand, who had buried his head in the map on the table, looked up in surprise, he didn't remember when he invited Henry over.
Henry, who hurriedly entered the big tent, ignored Blücher, who was saluting beside him, and was about to speak, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, Henry swallowed them alive, and he said to Blucher and the others in the tent: "Marshal Ferdinand and I have something to say, you all get out" After Henry's words, Blucher cast an inquiring glance at Ferdinand, and at Ferdinand's slight nod, Blucher and some of the other people in the tent walked out one after another.
"I say, my old fellow, what's wrong with you, a burning eyebrow" Ferdinand teased after seeing that Henry was covered in dust and looked a little flowery because he was in a hurry.
Henry went to a chair beside Ferdinand and sat down, and then said to Ferdinand: "Now I have not very good news to tell you, first of all, I'm not kidding" Ferdinand's stern appearance surprised Ferdinand slightly, but Ferdinand nodded and responded: "Say, let me see what makes you come in such a hurry" Looking into Ferdinand's eyes, Henry said word by word: "Russia, the country, the people, the troops, the soldiers" As soon as these six big words were finished, Ferdinand felt a cold breath at the root of his teeth, and he hurriedly asked: "Where did you get the news from, is the message accurate?"
"You can rest assured that the truth of the news is absolutely guaranteed, and in addition, this time the Russians dispatched a large number, they dispatched 5,000 Russian troops and 4,000 Polish troops."
After Henry finished speaking, he took the kettle placed on the table and poured himself a glass of water, and poured it down in a big gulp.
"The Russians are crazy, they have drawn the troops stationed in Poland, aren't they afraid that the Poles will rebel against them," said Ferdinand loudly after Henry had finished drinking.
"Who says it isn't, the current situation is no longer something we can decide, we need to report the situation here to Sanssouci Palace as soon as possible, the Russians must have sent so many soldiers and horses, we need to make preparations as soon as possible," Ferdinand continued.
But while Henry was speaking, Ferdinand interjected for no reason: "How about you say that we are now taking advantage of the fact that the Russian reinforcements have not yet arrived, and we will wipe out the Russian ** team over there?"
Ferdinand's words made Henry slightly stunned, and then Henry tangled: "At the moment, our army has just captured Königsberg, and the army still needs to be reorganized, and now if we take the initiative to attack the Russians, it will definitely lead to a full-scale war between us and the Russians, who knows how prepared the Russians are, but we are not ready for war with the Russians at all."
"Damn, can we just let those Russians go for such a reason, if the Russian reinforcements arrive, we will have to pay a greater price if we want to destroy them, don't you know" Seeing Henry so entangled, Ferdinand shouted with some anger.
Faced with Ferdinand's questioning, Henry did not give a positive answer, because Henry really couldn't find a good answer to answer Ferdinand.
Just when the two of them were silent in the tent and the atmosphere was a little stiff, Blücher's voice came from outside the tent: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Marshal, good news" As soon as Brucher lifted the tent, the two people in the tent cast some vicious glances at him, as if they could eat people, and when he saw this, Blucher's voice lowered "Your Excellency, eight thousand reinforcements from Brandenburg and five thousand from Bohemia are not far from us, and it is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow evening" Hearing this, Henry and Ferdinand looked at each other, but then hearty laughter erupted between the two.
"Okay, okay, it's a good time for these reinforcements to come, Henry, now we can destroy those Russians before the nine thousand Russian troops arrive, do you have the courage to fight with me," Ferdinand said to Henry with a smile.
But Henry was not as happy as Ferdinand, Henry thought to himself, could it be that the Russo-Prussian War was coming, but Prussia was not ready to start with the Russians at all, although after the rendezvous of reinforcements, Henry's whole army would reach more than 32,000 people, but these more than 30,000 people were already all the troops that Prussia could gather without conscripting soldiers.
The remaining Prussian armies scattered all over the country still had their own missions, for example, it was absolutely impossible to transfer 5,000 men in Simisia, and if they were to be redeployed, what was waiting for Prussia would be Silesia, which had finally stabilized, would be in chaos, and the same would be true for Bohemia and some other regions.
But the Russians are different, in case the Russians are prepared, then their troops stationed in Ukraine and Livonia will press on Prussia like a dark cloud, and it is worth mentioning that at this time, the Russian naval fleet is rampant in the Baltic Sea, and the Prussian army may be victorious in the early stage, but in the later stage, in the face of this Russian behemoth, Henry can't help but be careless.
Besides, Russia would really spend so much money on an insignificant Kleiman, what was the Russian empress thinking, who had always been bright and capable.
Henry didn't think at all that all this was not from Catherine II's intentions at all, but Kutuzov's private behavior, if Henry knew the reason, he would definitely not hesitate to attack the Russian battalion not far away, because even if this caused more casualties to Russia, it was the Russians' own infliction.
But at the moment, Henry is not clear, so he is unwilling to act rashly, if there are some unnecessary casualties of the Prussian army because of the attack on the Russian army, then Prussia will not have so much strength to deal with the Russians in the next war.
Until now, Henry still hoped that the Russians could give up the idea of using troops through diplomatic channels, but Ferdinand was different, he was bent on showing himself well in front of William, and he finally seized such an opportunity to show his face, how could he be willing to let it go so easily.
The two disagreed, and Ferdinand was not prepared to give up so easily, so the two began numerous rounds of arguments, but neither was able to convince the other to break up until the evening.
Walking out of Ferdinand's tent, Henry's face smiled, just now it seemed that the two disagreed and neither of them could convince anyone, but it was because of this that Henry smiled, because without the two commanders reaching a consensus, it was impossible for the army to attack the Russian barracks.
Some people will say that Ferdinand can lead his troops to attack the Russian military camp by himself, but how could Ferdinand, who was bent on behaving in front of William, risk splitting the army to do this, so in general, Henry still had the upper hand, as long as the two did not agree on it, then it was impossible for the army to attack.
