The whole of Potsdam was in chaos, and the army began to appear in the streets of the city, and the official version of Potsdam was that Potsdam had infiltrated a large number of spies from other countries to plot to assassinate His Majesty the King of Prussia, so the whole city was blockaded to capture the spies.
Although people still had complaints, the nobles in Potsdam had to keep their mouths shut in the face of official toughness and the involvement of Wilhelm.
After the soldiers gathered all the Orientals in Potsdam to the city hall of Potsdam, Wilhelm anxiously searched the crowd, but he looked at everyone in front of him but still could not find her.
"Are you sure all the Orientals in the city are here?"
William frowned at Dresia to the side "Yes, Your Majesty, except for a very few Orientals recorded in our archives, everything else is here!"
Hearing Dresia's answer, William felt the veins in his head pound, but he had to be patient "Didn't I tell you to gather all the Easterners in the city here?
I won't say anything else, but tonight I want to see all the Orientals in the whole city of Potsdam, especially the women of the Orientals, not a single one of them should be missing!
” After William finished speaking, he threw off his arms and walked into the city hall, and although Cristini and the two girls didn't know what William wanted to do, it was obvious that William's face was not good-looking now, and they were not ready to touch this brow.
That evening, the small square in front of Potsdam's city hall was filled with nervous Orientals, although it was not known why the government had allowed them to gather here.
But the assassination of the Prussian king, which was rumored in the city, made everyone panic.
William reappeared in front of the crowd.
As before, William ordered the guards to bring each of the Oriental women in front of him to identify them, but unfortunately, William still couldn't find the person she was looking for.
Faced with such a result, William had no choice but to return to Sanssouci Palace with three girls whose interest had been corrupted, and in the middle of the night, William had insomnia, and his mind was full of the figure of another girl in a hurry.
The next day.
When William with a pair of black panda eyes appeared in front of Louise, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother was obviously frightened, and the bloodshot in William's eyes made people worry about his body.
William smiled at Louise's concerned inquiry, and then hurried back to his study after breakfast.
In July 1789, dozens of days had passed since the last hurried farewell, and William had adjusted his mentality.
This is thanks to the proximity of that important date.
July 1789 was an extraordinary month in history, because it was the month when a great event took place that swept across Europe and even changed the situation in the world.
Beginning in 1786, William sent hundreds of spies to France, and William allocated a large amount of money for this purpose.
Our eyes turn to Paris.
Although because of the change of Queen Mary.
The state of France is much better than in history, but the contradictions between the king and the nobility, and between the nobility and the commoners, are not at all settled in a moment.
In France, there were as many opponents of Mary as there were her supporters.
Many French aristocrats believed that Marie, as a Habsburg woman, controlled the French regime, which made some French aristocrats find it unbearable, and the conflict between France and Habsburg was not a day or two.
The city-states of northern Italy.
Although they were all vassals of the Holy Roman Empire, and many were vassals of the Habsburgs.
However, because of the weakness of the Habsburgs, the entire northern Italian city-state became quite unstable.
Benefiting from trade in the Mediterranean, the city-states of northern Italy embraced a liberal ideology that was in great conflict with the centralization of the Habsburgs and even Joseph II himself.
Although limited by strength, these northern Italian city-states did not have a clear banner against the Habsburgs on the surface, but the absence on the surface does not mean that there is no secretly, some ill-intentioned nobles are connected day and night, not only that, but they also found a fairly strong backer for themselves - France.
France's illusions about northern Italy were not a day or two, but the strength of the Habsburgs and the need for the two countries to face a common enemy had made the French resist this inappropriate illusion.
But as Prussia's energies shifted domestically, some careerists within France towards northern Italy began to raise their heads.
These careerists watched the Habsburgs' great gains in northern Italy, and they thought that if Italy was gained, France would usher in a qualitative leap in power, after all, the wealth of the Italian city-states had blinded them.
Although Louis XVI and his wife did not have the same extravagance as they did in history, in order to maintain the luxurious life of the French court since Louis XIV, although the French finances did not collapse as in the original history, they were not far from the brink of collapse, so that the wealth of northern Italy was a piece of fat on the lips of French politicians.
Of course, the rulers of the Italian city-states were not all waste, and they were aware of the ambitions of the French, but in the eyes of the rulers, as long as Italy could be freed from the control of the Habsburgs, even if it gave the French some benefits, it was acceptable, so that the two sides hit it off.
From 1785 onwards, the French upper class became increasingly connected with the Italian city-states, and of course there was a Kingdom of Sardinia on the French road to northern Italy.
Kingdom of Sardinia, with its capital at Turin and its current king as Vittorio.
Amedeo III, he was the third king of the Savoy dynasty.
Although Amedeo III did not have a good relationship with the Habsburgs, he was equally hostile to France, and after France made contact with northern Italy, there was only one roadblock between them, which the French had to remove in order to gain a way to northern Italy.
As the queen and de facto ruler of France, Mary naturally had no kindness to the emergence of the Northern Italian faction in France, and with the death of Queen Theresa, Mary's relationship with Joseph II was not as stiff as it was in history, but improved, and her sense of identity with the Habsburgs naturally increased.
As a result, Queen Marie's ill feelings towards the native powers of France can be imagined, and because her ambitions for northern Italy were thwarted, these native powers were also hostile to Marie, and the hostility between the two sides intensified rather than abated.
Louis XVI, as King of France, could neither quell the political turmoil caused by the Enlightenment at home, nor improve the French finances, which had deteriorated to the point since Louis XV, and the king's energy was entirely focused on enjoyment and the locks he loved.
On May 5, 1789, in response to the deteriorating financial situation in France, Louis XVI was suddenly convened at the Palace of Versailles The Estates-General, in order to relieve the government's financial crisis, wanted to discuss tax increases, restrictions on the press, and civil criminal law in the meeting, and ordered that no other topics be discussed.
The representatives of the Third Estate did not agree to tax increases, and they demanded a constitution that would limit the power of the crown and introduce reforms in favor of capitalism.
The so-called Estates-General were the hierarchical councils that emerged in the Middle Ages in France.

The participants were representatives of the three estates of clergy (1st estate), nobility (2nd estate) and burghers (3rd estate).
Each of the three hierarchies has one vote, regardless of the number of representatives.
Usually when the country is in trouble, the king calls a meeting to ask for assistance, so the meeting is not scheduled.
One of its main functions was to approve the imposition of new taxes by the king.
There was a gap of 160 years between the last meeting and the Estates-General of Louis XVI.
When the representatives of the Third Estate announced that they would not accept Louis XVI's demand for a tax increase, Louis XVI's face turned pale, and in his opinion, how could these untouchables have the right to oppose him as a king, who only had the right to passively accept them.
But then, in order to allow his demand for a tax increase, Louis XVI not only did not use forceful measures, but was kind to the representatives of the Third Estate, and in this way he hoped to change the attitude of the representatives of the Third Estate.
But Louis XVI was doomed to disappointment, and the extravagance of the French court, the arrogance of the privileged class, and the high miscellaneous taxes of all kinds made the Third Estate suffer, and if they agreed to Louis XVI's proposal to increase the new tax, then what awaited them would be the anger of the entire estate.
And when the time came on 17 June, the deputies of the Third Estate suddenly announced the establishment of the National Assembly, and these deputies claimed that the king had no right to veto the resolutions of the National Assembly.
This was a naked provocation for Louis XVI, so Louis XVI sent troops to forcibly close the National Assembly, and Louis XVI declared the so-called National Assembly illegal and all its resolutions null and void.
At the same time, stimulated by this, Louis XVI decided to order the delegates of the three estates to reconvene separately.
As the first and second estates, the clergy and nobles were basically not subject to high taxes, so in the face of Louis XVI's high pressure, they were willing to accept Louis XVI's proposal to increase taxes, but the third estate was not the same.
France's high taxes have already made it impossible for the entire Third Estate to make ends meet, and if new taxes were to be introduced, it would be a disaster for the poor peasants or freedmen.
