After a day of debate, Maximilian's candidate was not approved at the electoral meeting, and in the afternoon vote, William still firmly stated his attitude, and William's statement was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Despite Maximilian's reluctance, the result of five votes in favor has already declared that Leopold will be the sole heir to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, and only after the official election tomorrow, Leopold will ascend to the throne of the supreme emperor of the Holy Roman Empire!
The outcome of the meeting was clearly very displeasing to Maximilian, and the Elector of Cologne shouted after the meeting: "What I'm seeing here today is a dirty deal!
The murderer of the former emperor usurped the imperial power of the empire, and although I am powerless to overturn the decision of the electoral council, I want the whole empire to know the mistakes made by the people here today and the true face of that murderer!
” This remark made all the Electors except Eltar angry, because Maximilian's ruthless words were aimed at everyone.
Eltal's face was a little disappointed, and after the meeting, the old man tried to get close to Leopold, but his actions were stopped by Kaunitz, who only whispered in the Elector's ear: Do it yourself.
That evening, Leopold threw an unusually grand ball to invite William to attend, but William refused Leopold's invitation on the grounds that he was unwell.
The refusal to attend Leopold's ball was not because William did not give Leopold face, on the contrary, William not only arranged for Locks to accompany Anna to the ball, but even asked Buel to arrange his own car to send Anna and others to the ball.
The main reason for not going to the ball was that William was dragged by this information in front of him, which was provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, which mainly stated three major events, one was that Paris had been conquered by Napoleon's army, because Napoleon's previous siege had caused very heavy casualties in the city of Paris.
The other is that Blankov relied on the favorable situation of occupying Moscow and St.
Petersburg to form a confrontation between the two powers, and Brankoff's actions caused a great change in the hearts of the people in the entire Russian Empire, and the princes and powerful people in various places changed their previous wait-and-see posture and began to stand in line.
Kutuzov finally ran out of patience under the city of Riga.
Knowing that it would be extremely difficult to capture Riga, Kutuzov changed his ways, and he mobilized 13,000 troops to continue to surround Riga, while Kutuzov himself personally commanded 25,000 troops to the north, aiming at Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
William did not feel the significance of Napoleon's ability to conquer Paris, compared to the emperor's later achievements, even if Napoleon performed many miracles.
William seemed to take it for granted.
Although the rebellion of the Duke of Orleans in Paris was intervened by Prussian forces, William never expected the Duke of Orleans to succeed.
The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and William lost interest in the Duke of Orleans after he had spared Louis XVI in the first attack on Versailles at the beginning of the uprising.
On the Eastern Front, Brankoff's actions did not surprise William, if he did not seize this point immediately after the conquest of Moscow to declare his position to the world and call on his allies.
Then William will suspect that this guy is a big idiot!
The only thing that surprised William was that Kutuzov abandoned Riga and led the main force north to Estonia, and this news made William have to feel a little admiration for Kutuzov.
Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is only a little more than a week away from St.
Petersburg, and unlike St.
Petersburg, there is not much defense in Tallinn, according to the intelligence of spy reconnaissance, there are currently only 4,000 Russian troops holding out in Tallinn, although Tallinn is close to the sea.
However, it is not like Riga, which has enough sea surface for the Baltic Fleet to play on its back, with the Gulf of Riga in its back.
So abandoning Riga and decisively going north was a very correct tactic, but Kutuzov also took a great risk for this.
The number of Russian troops in Riga City has reached 7,000 after replenishment, although it seems that the strength of Kutuzov's 13,000 army outside the city is nearly double, but don't forget that there is a huge fleet in the Riga Bay behind Riga City, if Ushakov ruthlessly agrees to the sailors and soldiers of the fleet to temporarily go ashore to fight, then the number of troops available in Riga City is not only 7,000 but 20,000!
Once the blockade is broken by the Russian army inside the city of Riga, it will be a disaster for the Kutuzov forces who have already taken all the main forces away, because except for the thirteen thousand troops outside the city of Riga.
The rest of the territory of Kutuzov did not have any large-scale, formed regular armies at all.
Kutuzov's determination can also be seen here, and the fierce fighter is completely in a make-or-die mentality.
After reading this information, William did not destroy it, but handed it into the hands of Buel on the side, looked at the old manager William and said: "Buel, you can take a look too" After reading it, Bouel did not speak, and William did not mean to ask, and after a while, William spoke: "Buel, how did the two officers handle last time?"
"Your Majesty.
It has been dealt with, and it has been investigated that the two officers are not at fault, and that the two officers have also defended the reputation of the kingdom on many occasions in this incident, because in recognition of the bravery and integrity of these two officers.
This year, the 1st Cavalry Regiment plans to recommend these two officers for the Officers' Refresher Course at the Brandenburg Military Academy."
"Well, that's good" Hearing a satisfactory answer, William nodded.
Although Hanbock's matter involved the diplomatic relations between Prussia and Frankfurt and even Austria, it was not a big deal in William's opinion, so after coming forward to subdue Kaunitz before, William no longer paid attention to this matter, after all, Buel was the head of the royal family, and this matter should be handled by him with full authority.
"By the way, Buel, how did you think about what you thought about last time?"
"Your Majesty, those two people are very good, the minister can't make the best choice for a while, please forgive your majesty!"
Hearing William mention that matter, Bouel saluted William with a very ashamed face, and seeing Bouel's actions, William's heart was a little lost, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's hard for you, it's been a few years, let's just let this matter pass" As he spoke, William closed his eyes a little wistfully.
Buel cautiously asked: "Your Majesty, do some of our layouts in France and Russia need to be adjusted?"
"There is no need to adjust for the time being, although France and Russia are the prey of our Prussia, but everything must be in order, our main target at this stage is Russia, as for France, we will continue to let our people lurk in various forces, I believe that France will become a testing ground for a long time in the future!"
William shook his head and made his own judgment.
Early June 1790 The Council of the Electors of the Holy Roman Empire ended, which ended with the victory of Leopold, who was to be crowned in Frankfurt in mid-June, and the wedding of William and Anna to be held a few days after Leopold's coronation.
According to the original agreement, after Leopold was officially crowned the imperial crown, he needed to edict William to be the crown prince of the empire, but now with Leopold's ascension to the throne is indisputable, whether to make William the crown prince has become the biggest problem within the Habsburg family.
As Leopold's eldest son, Franz, who also followed Leopold to the Electoral's Council, openly advised his father not to appoint William as the crown prince of the empire after Leopold's victory.
Looking at the stubborn son in front of him, Leopold felt his head grow for a while "Say, Franz, who taught you this!"

"No, father, these words are all my own opinions, and no one has taught me!"
Hearing Franz's answer, Leopold's face darkened even more Can you say these words as well!
Do you know that the canonization of the King of Prussia as the Crown Prince was made during the reign of your uncle, and I agreed to it in order to get the Prussians to support my coronation, do you want me to openly repentance and go to war with Prussia!
” Leopold's tone was a little unkind, and hearing his father's anger, Franz's heart was also a little uneasy, but the trace of ** in his heart made him stand up in the face of his father's coercion.
"Father, as you said before and for me, the crown of the Holy Roman Empire can only be worn on the heads of the children and grandchildren of the Habsburgs, and now a Prussian wants to wear that crown, which is simply an insult to the Habsburgs, and I will never allow the Prussian ambitions to be realized unless the men of the family die!"
"Smack.."
A slap blinded Franz, who was speaking in anger, and he looked at his father's raised right hand a little sluggish.
"You idiot, you can talk nonsense!
Do you know what the consequences of your words will be if they get out, or do you think that you are the only one in the world who is the smartest!
” Although Leopold was a little unbearable in his heart, he felt that he had to make this son understand the reality, although Leopold was also unwilling in his heart, but what could he do, as he said, once he was crowned but vetoed the original agreement with the Prussians, then the only consequence was war!
