Leopold II's order caused a certain stir in Vienna, but the Viennese top brass was completely silent on the matter.
Members of the royal family are naturally different from ordinary people, as long as a member of the royal family like Carl is an adult, it is very normal for him to be immediately made a general, after all, the starting point of the royal family is there, and no one thinks that a noble person like Carl should rise from the bottom like those civilians at the bottom.
On the other side, Marshal Dessau, who was originally in Denmark, rushed to the Bohemian front line without stopping after receiving Wilhelm's order.
The 4th Division was the first to reach Bohemia, so that the strength of the Bohemian region reached nearly 50,000 men in four divisions, because the 2nd Division was urgently transferred to Bavaria, so the 2nd Division was officially assigned to the Main theater.
However, the newly expanded Prussian 19th Division was on its way to Bohemia, and once the 19th Division arrived, the Prussian army in Bohemia would reach 60,000.
As soon as Dessau arrived at the front, the commanders of the three divisions that had been on the Bohemian front rushed to Dessau.
"Your Excellency Marshal, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Nichlau's face.
Field Marshal Dessau was one of the few remaining meritorious veterans in Prussia, and Dessau's decades of service to Prussia in the northern and southern wars also allowed him to accumulate great prestige in the Prussian army, plus Dessau was the second president of the Brandenburg Military Academy after Field Marshal Ziten.
Therefore, in Prussia, Dessau had a very special position.
Most of the first graduates of the Brandenburg Military Academy were in the middle ranks of the Prussian army, and to put it bluntly.
Dessau's pupils were scattered throughout the Prussian army, and Nichlau, as the first graduate of the Brandenburg Military Academy, naturally had a little more awe of his teaching director as a student.
"Okay, Nichilao, don't slap my ass here, I haven't seen you for a few years, you're a dignified division commander, I really can't underestimate you!"
"Hey, hey.
Marshal, you are not unaware, in the Academy.
I have been the most active in your classes, and if I can't rise faster in this way, I won't be disappointed by your teaching to me in the academy!
” Even though Dessau knew that the kid Nichlau was complimenting him, Dessau laughed.
After all, no one is unhappy to see their students climb to higher positions.
However, Dessau did not patronize a Nichlau to catch up.
After all, there are not only two of them in the military tent now, Rumorim of the 7th Division, Mark of the 10th Division, and Leohard of the 4th Division.
"Presumably these two are General Rumorim and General Mark!"
Hearing Dessau's words, Rumorim and Mark hurriedly gave a military salute and replied loudly: "Your Excellency General, it's down there!"
Rumorin and Mark, Dessau is not very familiar, after all, these two have not served under Dessau.
However, for the great names of Dessau, Rumorin and Marc are naturally famous for a long time.
Seeing the attitudes of Rumorim and Mark, Dessau nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "The two generals are polite.
We are all in the service of His Majesty, and we are colleagues of each other, so we don't need to be so polite!
” Although Dessau has already said that there is no need to show more politeness.
But Rumulin and Mark were still quite cautious, given the high level of the Prussian army.
Then, Dessau coughed twice, and when Dessau's cough was heard, the four division commanders in the room immediately stood together in front of Dessau, and the performance of the four division commanders made Dessau very satisfied, but after the four division commanders stood still, Dessau's face became solemn "This time, His Majesty appointed me as the commander of the Bohemian Theater of Operations, this is His Majesty's supreme trust in me, as the marshal of the kingdom, I have the hope of the whole country on my shoulders, and you, as the commanders of the four divisions under my command, you are the most powerful fist of the kingdom, so I ask that in this operation, the whole of the Bohemian theater must unite and go all out, and dare to resist the disrespectful and selfish actors!"
As he spoke, the four division commanders on the opposite side looked at each other, but then the four of them, led by Leo Hader, the commander of the fourth division, responded in unison.
Subsequently, Marshal Dessau and the commanders of the four divisions discussed the next steps.
Because of the onslaught of the Austrian army, the seventh, ninth, and tenth divisions were firmly nailed to their positions, and unlike in the past, this time the Austrians obviously did their best, and each attack made the Prussian army feel extraordinary pressure.
The Fourth Division had just arrived in Bohemia with Dessau, so the task of the Fourth Division was fully delegated to Dessau.
After thinking about it for a while, Dessau decided that the 4th Division would go to the Bohemian Western Front, that is, the 9th Division.
But Dessau was not ready to put the 4th Division into battle immediately.
On the opposite side of the 9th Division, it was the 16,000 Austrian troops led by the Austrian Eugenio, who originally had 23,000 men, but Leopold II's troop transfer order, and Eugenio's troops were drawn out of 9,000 men and handed over to Ian to lead to the Main River.
Later, Eugenio's troops were supplemented by Vienna, but like Prussia, Austria's front was too long, and Austria was not like Prussia, but there was an Ottoman on Austria's side who was eyeing Vienna day and night.
In addition, the emergency in Eastern Europe had reached Vienna, and under such circumstances, it could be said that the Austrian government had done its best to replenish Eugenio with 2,000 men.
However, it is a complete joke for such a force to break through the defense line of the Prussian army, and the Ninth Division is also a veteran Prussian division with more than 13,000 troops, and it is undoubtedly a bit of a fantasy to rely on 16,000 men to break through the defense line of the Ninth Division.
In Dessau's vision, while the Austrian army opposite the 9th Division did not know the changes in the Prussian army on the opposite side, and then took advantage of the Austrian army's unpreparedness to fight a beautiful counterattack of the Austrians, once the Ogenio's division was defeated, then the liberated two divisions could quickly break through to the Bohemian center battlefield, and then a right hook would definitely make the Austrians feel good.
Dessau's arrangement can be said to be a very orthodox method of warfare, in Dessau's view, the Austrian army on the Bohemian front line is less than 50,000 people, such a force is completely similar to the Prussian army, in this case, the Prussian army at this moment can completely change the previous defensive strategy.
After Dessau's order was given, the 4th Division was fully assembled on the western front of Bohemia, and when the 4th Division was moving westward, the 11th Division of Silesia, led by the division commander Bill, suddenly appeared on the flank of the Austrian army opposite, and then, with the cooperation of the 12th Division, Bill successfully defeated the Austrian army on the opposite side.
But before Bill could be pleased, an order from the Ministry of War came down, which was to make Ferdinand the Younger commander of the Silesian theater of operations, an order that made Bill a little frustrated.
You must know that before, although the military department did not clearly establish the Silesian theater of operations, but because of Vincent and Yarman's respect for Bill, Bill actually became the commander of the Prussian army in Silesia, and now that Ferdinand Jr. is here, there is no doubt that Bill will return to his original role as the commander of the division.
However, the commander was Ferdinand Jr., and Bill really had nothing to say.

Bill's original boss was Prince Ferdinand, and little Ferdinand, who was regarded as the heir to the mantle, was naturally very familiar with him, not only Bill, but also Vincent and Jarman, because all three of them could be said to have served under Prince Ferdinand.
Although William's military reforms weakened the influence of some veteran generals in the army, the influence of veteran military leaders like Ferdinand had already penetrated into the army.
To be honest, William was once very worried about the influence of these veterans, but even a protagonist like William who traveled from later generations could not completely eliminate the influence of these veterans.
The army is a very hero-worshipping group, and every general who can lead the army to victory is a hero in the eyes of these soldiers, which cannot be erased at all.
William knew about the factions within the army, but William didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of controllable faction.
People like the founding Taizu of later generations once said helplessly, "There is no party in the party, there is no imperial thought, there is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange!"
” This can be said to be a kind of tolerance, but also a kind of helplessness.
People are always complex creatures, the human heart is separated from the belly, you can't ask all the people to obey you from the bottom of their hearts, that is simply unrealistic, so you can only do your best to win over the majority to suppress the minority.
And what William is trying to achieve is to make his prestige above these veterans to ensure that his country is stable.
In this way, the gendarmerie battalion and the ideological education department set up by William in the army are very important.
However, although Bill relieved the pressure of the Austrian army faced by Silesia, on the opposite side of Silesia, the Austrian army still existed, and Bill only defeated the local Austrian army but did not defeat the entire Austrian army, and the Austrian army still had more than 30,000 men after the war.
After Ferdinand Jr. arrived in the war, Bill did not show any dissatisfaction, and Ferdinand Jr. naturally respected Bill very much.
After taking over the military power of Silesia, Ferdinand the Younger was not busy launching a new offensive against the Austrians on the opposite side, and the second absorbed the results of the last battle, and then pushed the battle line to Moravia
