August's arrest caused an uproar in the upper echelons of Saxony, and some unknown Saxon officials expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Prussian actions.
Fortunately, however, these officials did not wield real power in Saxony, and after the Prussians issued a gag order, they were all grounded.
And if August's arrest was the most alarming to those people, then there is no doubt that those who were bought by Auguste were the most alarmed.
Lugack found a list in August's office, which included the names of both Saxon officials and Prussian military personnel, and the most angry of them was undoubtedly Traunel, the commander of the 23rd Infantry Regiment of the Seventh Division.
Traunel can be said to have spent a lot of effort on August to buy it successfully, when he bought Traunel, the Austrians once raised objections, you must know that although an infantry commander of the 7th Division is also quite high, but the 7th Division to which he belongs is stationed in the south of Saxony, and it is not as good as a great effort to infiltrate the 6th Division stationed outside Dresden.
The Austrians' opinion was not at all accepted by August, who at that time considered Dresden to be the capital of Saxony, and in this area the Prussians had the strongest control, and the enemy's eyes could be said to be everywhere.
As the Sixth Division, which has shouldered a heavy responsibility, it is undoubtedly very conspicuous, and it must be extremely risky to quietly buy a regiment commander under such circumstances, in this case, it is better to buy the officers of the Seventh Division.
First, the 7th Division was far away from Dresden, so it was not easy to attract the attention of others.
Second, August also knew that the 7th Division was stationed, it was an undeveloped mountainous area, and compared with the 6th Division, I am afraid that the officers of the 7th Division stationed in the desolate land would be easier to buy.
It has to be said that August was clever, because as he thought, although it was the same army stationed in Saxony.
However, the treatment of the 7th and 6th Divisions was completely different.
For most of the year, except for vacations, the company of the endless hills outside had already made the hearts of the Seventh Division fluctuate, and if they wanted to find a woman, they had to ride horses for half a day, and then there were ugly women in a dilapidated tavern in a town.
It was precisely because of this situation that Auguste made great efforts to buy officers in the 7th Division, and his actions were also effective, and after paying tens of thousands of marks, a Prussian regiment commander was successfully bribed.
"Send someone to the 7th Division immediately.
Send this document to the garrison of the 7th Division, and remember to personally hand it over to the commander of the Rumolin Division and tell him that I can only help him so much!
” Lugak stepped aside after staring at the list for a long time, and after struggling mentally with distance, he took out a piece of paper and wrote down the names of several people in the Seventh Division who had been bribed.
At the end, Lugak also added: These people have committed treason, I hope Your Excellency will deal with it carefully!
The 6th and 7th Divisions were the first regular army units in Prussia to complete the reorganization, and the predecessors of these two armies were from the Pomeranian region, and the incense of the 6th and 7th Divisions can be traced back nearly 100 years.
As the saying goes, things gather like and people divide by groups, and there is a saying that where there are many people, there is always a fight, and this is true for the country, and the same is true for the army.
Before Wilhelm did not create the Brandenburg Military Academy.
The officers of the Prussian army were mainly drawn from the families of the military aristocracy and from the most successful soldiers, and in this case, for whatever purpose, basically every officer had his own faction, and most of them were linked by fellow countrymen and in-laws.
After the establishment of the Brandenburg Military Academy, there was another faction in the Prussian army, that is, the academic school, which was divided into the aristocratic faction and the plebeian faction.
In addition to the academics, the factions that existed in the Prussian army itself did not dissipate.
Even some factions linked by fellow villagers have become closer to each other in order to cope with the challenges of the academy.
Although Lugak and Rumorin did not admit it, they were considered to be a faction, and although Lugak was not Pomeranian, he married the daughter of the Blomenthals, a wealthy family with great influence in Pomerania.
At the same time, by the side of the two were also a large group of officers of Pomeranian origin.
And although neither of them admitted it, but at the same time, neither of them denied it, because everyone knew.
If you want to mix in the world, you can't mix without a group or a party.
And the two of them are both division commanders of the regular army of the kingdom, no matter which force has to look up to the two of them.
It was in this situation of mutual honor and disgrace that Lugak would take a huge risk to send someone to report to Rumorin.
You must know that a regimental commander was bribed by the Austrians, and such a major event would definitely affect Rumorein's future.
And the risk is that once William learns that Lugak has revealed such a confidential list to Rumorim without reporting to William, even if it is only a small part, it is enough to make Rumalin lose points in William's heart!
William, who was sitting in the carriage, sneezed hard, and he shook his head.
Seeing William's movements, Du Li, who was sitting opposite William, said: "William, are you sick?"
"Oh, Du Li, it's nothing, I think it's probably getting a little cold now."
Listening to William's answer, Du Li's face instantly became sad "I said that you are really, Karina and I want to visit you in Brandenburg, but you don't let us go, do you no longer have us in your heart?"
Seeing Du Li's obviously abnormal face, William's heart sighed "Where, isn't it because I'm afraid that if you go to Brandenburg, it will cause some bad effects?"
William's sentence immediately seemed to stab a hornet's nest, and I saw that Du Li's face had changed from grief to tears in her eyes "Do you dislike us, if you do, we'll leave............."
"Where, Du Li, you see where you have gone!"
William suddenly became anxious.
At this moment, William and Du Li were sitting in the carriage to Hanover, and this time William was not going to Hanover for fun.
As the situation in France unrested, the British increasingly felt the need to strengthen ties with Prussia, Britain's most important ally on the European continent, so George III invited William to Hanover for a meeting.
Of course, because of George III's own health, it was not George III himself who met William this time, but his son, who was also the crown prince of the United Kingdom and later George IV Augustus.
But after receiving an invitation from the British, things got a little weird.
The day after the Prussian government had just received a diplomatic letter from the British, the British handed in another letter claiming that their crown prince was already on board a warship bound for Hanover.

This made William's mind a little too much, and it stands to reason that as a meeting between the leaders of a heavyweight country, such a hasty meeting is really rare.
However, William did not refuse the sudden invitation of the British, not only the British wanted to talk to him, but William also had some things that he wanted to discuss with the British.
This time, it was not only Du Li who followed William to Hanover.
Karina and Lilisa were also in the convoy, but due to the influence, Du Li was the only one to board William's carriage.
After all, as Hans's daughter and the Countess of Meskovice of the kingdom, Du Li has also followed her father into the intelligence community in Prussia in recent years to help Hans sort out some information.
So in this way, Du Li and William sharing a carriage can be understood as reporting intelligence.
Not only did Du Li start her own business, Karina was arranged by William to study in the Prussian government.
Lilisa, on the other hand, was entrusted by William to Mayer to take care of her.
In William's heart, he never had the idea of making the three daughters into vases, on the contrary, William believed that the three daughters of Karina were his most trustworthy people, so William needed their help.
Since William went to Frankfurt, the three daughters of Karina have entered their respective departments according to William's arrangement, and this time it is also the third time that the three daughters have met again after more than half a year.
"Ahem, alright.
Du Li, what my mind looks like, don't you understand, don't say this kind of thing again in the future" Hearing William say this, Du Li also knew that it was enough to stop, after all, William was just embarrassed now, but if William's mood was raised from embarrassment to annoyance, then it would not be good for everyone.
William did not take Anna to Hanover this time.
Anna, a woman, was in a bad mood after being reprimanded by William last time for spending too much, and was at Louise for several days in a row.
Originally, Louise planned to let William take Anna to Hanover, after all, William had just gotten married this year, and this time he went to Hanover to meet with Prussia's most important ally, and Anna, as the new queen of Prussia, should also appear on the international stage.
However, when Anna learned that William was accompanied not only by several ministers of the Prussian government, but also by Du Li and others, as soon as William opened her mouth, Anna immediately said that she was not feeling well and could not travel far.
Anna's move made Louise a little dissatisfied.
You must know that as a queen, first of all, no matter what is going on in the family, but in public, everyone must see the harmony of the royal family and the elegance and demeanor of the queen, but Anna's actions seem a little willful and naïve.
But when Louise saw after William was gone.
When Anna was silently sobbing alone, Louise's heart couldn't help but grieve, and from Anna's body, Louise seemed to see the mother of the child who was taken away that year.
After that, Louise comforted Anna without mentioning it.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of the British this time should be to discuss the French issue with us, and at the same time, according to the news from our people, the British Parliament has begun to discuss the matter of taking advantage of the civil strife in France to seize the French colonies!"
Du Li's words shocked William, French colonies!
Literally, this is just a noun, but behind this noun is a territory of millions of square kilometers and a population of nearly 10 million.
As a colonial empire second only to Britain, France had colonies all over the world, including Canada in North America, the western half of the North American continent, hundreds of islands in the Caribbean, Brazil and French Guiana in South America, and French India occupied by the French East India Company in Asia.
Not to mention Africa, where West Africa, Senegal, Mauritius, Reunion, and Seychelles are all French.
If it were not for the fact that France's colonies all over the world needed a large number of troops to defend it, and that the loss of these colonies would completely destroy the lifeblood of France, as long as Louis XVI had withdrawn from these colonies with the momentum of fighting on his back, then France would have been able to obtain hundreds of thousands of troops to solve the current predicament.
Of course, there is also a premise for this, that is, the British do not get in the way.
Although the struggle for hegemony between Britain and France ended with a British victory, the British even took advantage of the civil strife in France to occupy Calais.
But the mood of the British upper echelons is very complicated now, on the one hand, they want France to withdraw its troops from the colonies, so that the British can take advantage of the situation.
But on the other hand, the British did not want to see France withdraw its troops from the colonies of the world.
Because in that case, the French, who had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, would certainly have thought of the hatred of the British to take advantage of the situation and seize the colonies after quelling the civil strife, and it would be clear that hundreds of thousands of French troops would pose a great threat to the British mainland.
To be honest, William was very greedy for these French colonies.
Don't look at the depletion of France's national finances, which means that these colonies have no oil and water to fish, you must know that the colonies of this era are simply like treasures, as a citizen of the colonial country, not only can you get a lot of land in the colonies with very low taxes, but at the same time, the aborigines of those colonies are also some gold coins that can be moved, and they can make a lot of money by transporting them to mines that require labor, and there is no risk at all.
France's finances dried up because a large part of the annual taxes paid by the colonies were contributed to the king's private treasury, and only a small part of the treasury was collected.
Louis XVI was not a man of frugality, although he was much better than his ancestor Louis XIV, but the expenses were still very huge.
Obviously, the British now have their eyes on the colonies in France, but this is good news for William, because Prussia is also interested in those colonies!
