Chapter 482: An Unquiet Christmas Eve


Although the Duchy of Württemberg is not a state in the Main River Valley, there is a disconnected relationship between the Duchy of Württemberg and the states of the Main River Valley.

Although the current Duchy of Württemberg has weakened, as one of the largest princes in the empire, the Duchy of Württemberg still has a status that cannot be underestimated, and the regular army under the command of Karl II, Grand Duke of Württemberg, has reached 4,000 people.

And now Württemberg's attitude is really difficult to say, no one can guess what Karl II thinks in his heart, but the states of the Main River Valley can be said to spare no effort to win over Karl II, and the Austrians also filled the fire in it.

On Christmas Eve, the whole Brandenburg seems to have turned into a sea of red, and every household hangs a red ribbon on the big tree at the door, although the current festival is not like the later generations, there are no performances or the like, and now there is not even a television, and people's spiritual entertainment is lacking, but this does not prevent people from celebrating the festive atmosphere.

After all, in a turbulent era, being able to get together with your family is already a satisfying thing.

On the night before Christmas, Wilhelm summoned Prussian government officials and nobles from all over the world in the Brandenburg royal palace, and when Wilhelm sat down on the throne, he saw Ludwig taking the lead, and all the men and women in the hall showed Wilhelm their most humble gestures.

William never relaxed his education in Ludwig during these years, and Ludwig did not live up to William's hopes.

No matter what you study, you can accept it relatively quickly, and this year Ludwig also took the entrance exam for the Brandenburg Military Academy, of course, Ludwig took it anonymously after asking Wilhelm.

This made Ludwig very excited after his admission to the Brandenburg Military Academy.

After all, this was the only time he had gotten what he wanted without relying on William.

For Ludwig's future, William actually already had a plan, in William's opinion, as a son of the Hohenzollern family, how can he be called the elite of the Hohenzollern family if he doesn't know the military and doesn't go to the battlefield!

Therefore, Ludwig's future was to develop in the army.

Of course, there are various branches of the current Prussian army, not to mention that with Wilhelm's emphasis on intelligence, Prussia's foreign intelligence system has also been merged into the Prussian Military Intelligence Bureau, so that Ludwig's choice is much greater.

As for what kind of troops Ludwig wanted to engage in, Wilhelm was not prepared to intervene.

The Ludwig in front of him inherited more of the advantages of Queen Mother Louise in his face, and was different from William in that he had chestnut hair, a knife-like face, and delicate facial features.

It makes Ludwig look very feminine and elegant.

William, on the other hand, is more like Hohenzollern, although he is not handsome, but he has a very resolute face and a unique majestic face, all of which makes William more manly under the backdrop of power.

"Congratulations to my king, prosperous martial arts!"

William sat on the throne and accepted the worship of all people.

William then left the hall after giving a short speech.

William was accompanied by Henry, Ferdinand, Locks and other Prussian high-ranking officials.

As for Anna, she stayed, after all, as the queen of Prussia, communication was also her main task.

William and the others left the palace where the Ballball was held and went to another attic.

In a quiet room, everyone sat down, and then Bouel closed the door tightly with a command to the attendants outside the door, and after the door was closed, a group of royal guards quickly walked around the room.

Not only around the room, but the entire building was cordoned off.

"Prince Henry.

Did the order of the military ministry be given?

” "Your Highness, the troops from all over the country have given feedback, and all the orders from the Military Department have been received!"

William nodded and said to Ferdinand: "Prince Ferdinand, I think the plan of the staff is very good, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly after all, so the staff must be prepared accordingly to include all accidents!"

"Your Majesty, after our plan was formulated, we immediately arranged for nearly 100 officers to conduct the exercise, and we have made backup plans for possible changes, please rest assured that Your Majesty the King will be able to do so!"

Although Prince Ferdinand is over seventy years old, his physical condition is very good, but it can already be seen from his face that Prince Ferdinand is aging badly.

However, William also took into account that the generation of people like Ferdinand and Henry are already old after all, and the replacement of Prussia's military top brass is inevitable.

It is in a more obscure way that this advisory committee relegates the old ministers who have contributed to the kingdom to the second line, and a country can never be ruled by a group of old people, otherwise the country will have absolutely no future.

Of course, the idea of the Privy Council, William has communicated with Prince Henry, and Henry expressed support for William's idea, after all, as the first person in the Prussian military now, if William's idea cannot be supported by Henry, then the resistance will be great.

"Locks, in terms of logistical support, is the government fully prepared?"

"Your Majesty, the government has prepared a large amount of supplies, three of which have been hoarded in Bayreuth, so that even if the road from Brandenburg to the Main is difficult because of the cold winter, the army at the front will be fully supplied!"

Receiving Locks' answer, William's face was full of smiles "Very good, I see everyone's efforts, if Locks can succeed in this battle, then the department in charge of logistics will be the first credit!

At the same time, I hope that you can do your best together in this war, because the Battle of Main is related to the strategic development of our country in the next ten years, so this war can only succeed and not fail!

Whoever has done something in this battle will be rewarded sparingly!

” William's words raised the morale of everyone present, although all the people present were high-level Prussians, basically whether it was an official position or a title, it was impossible to rise to a great extent, but they were not just themselves, everyone in a high position, there was a group of like-minded friends gathered around them, even those officials who were gentlemen and not parties were the purpose, he still had children and nephews to take care of.

And now that Willian has said that, there is no doubt that the Battle of Main will give everyone who can take advantage of it a chance to soar.

While William and the others were discussing, a very strange picture appeared in the palace where the Ballball was held.

I saw Du Li, Karina, and Lilisa standing together and looking at Anna, although the expressions on the faces of the three girls were relatively calm, but Anna's face showed a look of anger that could not be suppressed.

"Her Royal Highness, Her Royal Highness, be calm, be calm!"

Seeing that Anna was about to run away, the maid standing beside Anna hurriedly grabbed the corner of Anna's skirt and then leaned into Anna's ear and kept persuading.

Anna's maid was reminded that Anna had been married from Vienna, so she spoke in the Viennese dialect, also to prevent it from being heard by some well-informed people.

It stands to reason that Anna, as the queen of Prussia, should quickly pull a group of attendants as her eyes and ears after entering the Brandenburg palace, and Anna did the same, after all, although sometimes these attendants are very inconspicuous, but it is impossible to say when they can play a key role.

But Anna's actions did not go well, although Louise had a good relationship with her, but William did not favor her in the royal palace, and as the head of the royal family, Buel and the deputy head of the royal family, Horn, both seemed to be a little hostile to Anna, which also made Anna's actions have little effect.

In the Prussian palace, therefore, Anna could rely on the attendants who had been married from Vienna.

"See Her Highness the Queen!"

After Anna's face calmed down a little, Karina and the three girls glanced at each other and saluted Anna in unison.

There is nothing strange about saluting, after all, although Karina's three daughters also have a skin-to-skin relationship with William, Anna is William's veritable wife and has the title of Queen of Prussia, both in terms of status and status, which is much higher than the three daughters.

But the strange thing is the posture of the salute, which is basically a curtsy bow between European noblewomen, even if the other party is a noble figure such as a queen.

However, there are many kinds of curts, often the greater the bend of the knee, the more sincere the waist bends, but at the moment Karina's three daughters seem to have been arranged in advance, and the three girls all performed a very simple curtsy, that is, the knees bent slightly, but the waist did not bend down at all.

This couldn't help but make Anna's heart even more angry.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, everyone is watching, you are a queen, you can't be rude!"

Although Anna's maid was also very annoyed by the actions of Karina's three daughters, after all, it was not an empty word for the lord to humiliate the ministers, but her reason had not been defeated by anger, she knew that once Anna got out of control, it was Anna herself who would be embarrassed in front of the nobles of the whole country!

"Three countesses, please get up, see three, I know that women can be so beautiful, no wonder there is such a saying in the world, but I believe that the three countesses are not that kind of people, and there are three Prussians who are really full of color!"
