At this moment, at least in the eyes of the crowd around the two, the relationship between the two is still relatively harmonious, of course, the real situation is only clear in the hearts of the two of them.
Later, in the royal palace of Brandenburg, Wilhelm and Anna, as well as many close relatives of the Hohenzollern family, held a grand welcome banquet in the palace, and Franz, as the protagonist of the banquet, naturally became the center of attention.
It can be said that if it weren't for Anna's pregnancy, with the current state of Austria and Austria, Franz would never have been able to accept such courtesy from William.
In addition to Franz's trip to Anna's pregnancy, Leopold II also gave him a task, that is, to find out the strength of Prussia, and Franz naturally needed Anna's help in this regard.
So in the middle of the feast, Franz consulted with Anna, and Anna asked William for a more secluded room.
When Franz informed Anna of another mission on his trip, Anna's face immediately turned very strange.
"Brother, are you sure you're not joking with me?"
Looking at Anna's skeptical look, Franz's face revealed a wry smile "My good sister, do you think I dare to joke with you on this matter?
You must know that when I came to Brandenburg, my father held me and told me a thousand times, and you also know that the war between Prussia and Austria is inextricable now, and in such a situation, as a member of the Habsburg family, you still have to contribute your own strength!
” After Franz finished speaking, Anna's face changed, and then she only heard Anna say leisurely: "I don't want to get too involved in your men's affairs.
If you want to know about Prussia through me, then I think you're looking for the wrong person.
If it weren't for this child in my womb, William, they wouldn't even be looking at me!
” "How so?"
Franz looked surprised, although he had thought before coming to Brandenburg that Anna's status in Prussia might not be very high, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Anna's words.
Seeing Franz's look of disbelief, a wry smile tugged at the corner of Anna's mouth "I know you don't believe it, but it's true, not to mention the deployment of Prussian troops on the front, and I don't know how many battles have taken place in the current war between the two countries.
How can I provide you with the news you want!
” "Damn it!"
Seeing that Anna's expression was not unusual, Franz understood that what Anna said was not a lie, so his expression became a little depressed.
This visit to Brandenburg was related to Franz's own status as crown prince, not to mention that Alexander alone made Franz's heart feel like a big stone was pressed.
"Well, brother, don't be too depressed, if you want to know anything.
Maybe I can ask you now, but some of the confidential ones won't tell me, or even if they did, I wouldn't tell you much."
Hearing Anna's first half of the sentence, Franz's face revealed a hint of joy, but then Anna's second half of the sentence made his brow furrow "Sister.
Have you forgotten that you are from the Habsburg family, even if you are now married into Prussia, you will always be a Habsburg, and you should contribute everything you can to the strength of the family!
” Franz hoped that his righteous words would impress Anna, but what Ang didn't expect was.
After he finished speaking, Anna's face twisted slightly "yes.
Since I am a Habsburg, I should contribute to the strength of my family!
But brother, have you ever thought about how I would have come to Brandenburg alone if it weren't for my family, and if it wasn't for my family, why would I have struggled until now in this environment surrounded by wolves!
In your eyes, there is only the so-called Imperial Diagram Hegemony!
But you thought I didn't, you are like this, my father is like this, and William is like this!
So what have I become!
Am I just a commodity that you can trade with each other?
Am I supposed to suffer all that was innocently inflicted on me!
” As she spoke, Anna's expression became more and more excited, and when she arrived, she yelled with a wry smile.
Seeing Anna's appearance, Franz was taken aback, knowing that in his impression, his lively and cheerful sister Anna had never appeared with such a look at this moment.
Time and environment can completely change a person, and time and environment are impossible to change, in such a situation, people can only try to change themselves, so as to adapt to that damn time and environment.
"Now I have Wilhelm's child in my belly, and if this is a boy, then he will be the first in line to the Prussian throne.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and if I help you get Prussian secrets today, then this will be used against my children in the future, so my goal now is not for the Habsburgs or for Prussia, but for the children in my womb!
” Anna's words made Franz completely stunned, pregnant women will change a lot, but Anna's change is too great.
Then the two of them left the room after a few more words, and after they left the room, a man emerged from the next room, and this person was Horn.
After Hornard left the room, he hurried to Buel's side, and after some debriefing, Buel went to William's ear.
When William learned from Buel about the conversation between Anna and Franz, a big smile appeared on his face.
"Very good, most things in the future will be done according to the wishes of Her Royal Highness, I think maybe Anna is not a qualified queen, but she is definitely a qualified mother!"
After William finished speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand to a royal earl standing in front of him, and this earl naturally accompanied William to drink a sip of red wine in the glass. ..........................................
Look at the tall walls of Frankfurt reflected in the telescope.
A smile appeared on Dafilia's face "Scharnhorst, look.

That's Eintracht Frankfurt and that's what we're aiming for, what do you think about the next battle?
” At this moment, not far from the Frankfurt city wall, a high-ranking member of the Prussian and British coalition forces was riding on horseback and observing the situation around Frankfurt.
To the left of Dafilia, a man with a horse's body was the commander of the 3rd Prussian Division, Schänhorst.
Hearing Dafilia's question, Scharnhorst smiled and said: "Your Excellency, it is undeniable that Frankfurt is a fortified city, but I believe that it is under your command.
We will definitely be able to leap into Frankfurt, if you want to say anything, how can you get into your eyes with that little thought!
” He said something that even he felt a little disgusting, but in his heart Scharnhorst was a little disapproving of Dafilia.
You must know that before Dafilia came to the Main, the three divisions in the Main theater were headed by Scharnhorst, and if Scharnhorst had no idea about the post of theater commander, I am afraid that no one would believe it.
As for Scharnhorst's thoughts, Dafilia was naturally aware of it.
Although Dafilia was the commander of the Main theater personally appointed by the Ministry of War, Dafilia also knew that Scharnhorst could be said to be William's favorite general, and that Scharnhorst was the de facto commander of the Main theater before the 1st and 2nd Divisions joined the Main theater.
Therefore, after arriving in the Main war zone, Dafilia did not deliberately target Scharnhorst, but carried out a series of appeasements and wooing of him.
And in such a situation.
Scharnhorst and Dafilia, of course, also maintain a semblance of harmony.
Everyone will have their own ideas, which will not change anytime and anywhere, and the most important thing for a commander is whether he can win the hearts of his subordinates, and unify the goals of his subordinates with his own goals.
Seeing that Scharnhorst was a little reluctant to say it, Dafilia didn't mind much.
After all, Scharnhorst has his own pride.
Therefore, Dafilia politely said: "General Scharnhorst, you're being too polite.
Although you have appointed me as the commander of the Main Theater of Operations for the trust of Your Majesty, you have been presiding over the war in the Main Theater since the beginning of the war, so you have experience in dealing with the Emperor, and this experience is the most crucial point that can help us succeed in Prussia, so I also hope that you will be able to give you advice!
” Dafilia's low posture made Scharnhorst a little moved, although Scharnhorst was indeed the biggest hero of the Main Theater before, but now Dafilia is the commander of the Main Theater appointed by the Ministry of War.
In such a situation, Dafilia was able to put on an approachable and somewhat humble posture to his subordinates, which was a very remarkable open-mindedness, after all, it was not just the two of them at the moment, but most of the high-ranking generals of the Prussian and British coalition gathered around Dafilia.
"Your Excellency, Commander, you are too polite, so let's talk about the next little opinion!"
In the case that Dafilia has already put his posture very low, wouldn't it be a little ignorant if Scharnhorst put on a gesture of rejecting people thousands of miles away, so Scharnhorst also hurriedly saluted: "I did fight with the emperor several times before, and the emperor ** is not much worse than the combat effectiveness of our army in the next opinion, and even the combat effectiveness of some of the emperor's troops can be said to be very strong, among which the troops in the Hesse and Mainz regions need special attention!"
Dafilia nodded and said: "I've also heard this, those guys from Mainz are said to be very afraid of death in war, and Hesse, as a state with a tradition of systematically training mercenaries, naturally has an army that cannot be underestimated!"
"Exactly, but the Hessian and Mainz armies are not without their weaknesses" Hearing Scharnhorst's words, Dafilia asked with some surprise: "Oh, is it?
How come I haven't heard?
” "Your Excellency, it is like this, the Hessian army is brave, but there is a huge shortcoming, that is, the Hessian army is full of a money-hungry mentality.
Of course, I think this mentality also has a lot to do with His Highness Sunigo of Hesse.
And Mainz, the crazy believers in Mainz are very brave and desperate despite the war.
But we found in the war that there is a huge hidden danger for those people, that is, the army of Mainz can avoid Bibles and crosses and other objects, and try not to damage them, and many of our soldiers rely on the help of crosses and Bibles to save their lives in the hands of Mainz soldiers!
” Scharnhorst's words made Dafilia feel that his previous posture was really not in vain "Go on!"
Moreover, the soldiers of Frankfurt are relatively well-equipped, but because of the defeat of the first two emperors, Frankfurt's army is a little timid when they fight, and such soldiers are like paper tigers on the battlefield.
It looks majestic, but it's not that hard to deal with!
As for the armies of Wiesbaden, Nassau, Württemberg and other countries, if nothing else, they can completely defeat them with the combat effectiveness of our army!
” After some analysis, Dafilia's mood was much better, and he patted the war horse under his crotch, when his war horse was equal to that of Scharnhorst's war horse.
Dafilia reached out and patted Scharnhorst on the shoulder and said: "Scharnhorst, you are indeed worthy of your name, worthy of the youngest division commander in Prussia, and what you just said can be the key to the victory of our army, and for this, I want to thank you!"
"Your Excellency, Commander.
These are all things that should be done in the future, how dare I take credit!
” Looking at Scharnhorst's bent back, Dafilia raised his horsewhip and pointed to the Frankfurt city wall in the distance and said: "If our army can conquer Frankfurt in this battle, then you Scharnhorst should be the first to take credit!
Don't get too busy, General Scharnhorst.
You are the most talented general of our young generation in Prussia, and your Majesty is very fond of you.
In such a situation, maybe in the future, even I can only look at you from behind your back.
But I'm not jealous, because as far as I say to you today, you deserve no matter how great you achieve in the future, and you still have a long way to go in the future............"
Dafilia's words made the generals of the Prussian coalition army around him look at Scharnhorst with a trace of envy, you must know that being able to let Dafilia say such a thing shows the importance of Scharnhorst's status!
"You are still young, you still have a long way to go in the future, and I am different, I am already in my fifties, and you also know the decree issued by His Majesty, in a few years I will either go up or retreat to the second line, in this case, you have a lot of room to rise, so sometimes you don't need to be anxious about the length of the moment.
Besides, I appreciate you very much, and I believe that you will be able to achieve more in the future, so you can do it with confidence!
” After saying this, the generals of the Prussian army who surrounded the two of them were not only envious, but they were almost crazy with jealousy, especially the division commander of the Second Division, Franck, who had become a naked jealousy of Scharnhorst in his heart.

There is no way, it's just that what Dafilia said just now was too straightforward, which not only showed that he would not cause obstacles to Scharnhorst's future future, but even said that he was willing to support Scharnhorst to go further.
Although Dafilia is only a division commander, no one will think that Dafilia is just a division commander, you must know that as the top of the Prussian army, everyone's back will not be so simple, everyone represents a faction in the army.
And Dafilia's words today show that he is willing to maintain a cooperative posture with Scharnhorst, and even if there are no accidents, even if Daphilia retires in the future, he will mobilize his own forces to support Scharnhorst to challenge for that higher position.
A group of men then observed outside Frankfurt for a while before returning to the station.
In the presence of the Prussian-British army, Dafilia convened a military conference, and the meeting was about Frankfurt.
Frankfurt's fortifications are not built, and just looking at the dense artillery and towers on the city walls and the boiling oil makes one feel chilled.
In addition, more than 30,000 emperors and tens of thousands of Frankfurt people also widened the moat outside Frankfurt by nearly two meters, which not only means that it is more difficult for the Prussian army to attack Frankfurt, but also means that the Prussian army needs to pay attention to the attack of Frankfurt's river fleet when attacking Frankfurt.
And the moats of Frankfurt, it is naturally impossible for the Prussian army to put trees on these moats, after all, it is under the nose of the emperor.
In addition to this, the Frankfurts also sprinkled gunpowder on some of the land outside the city, and the strong smell of gunpowder could be heard even from miles away.
Obviously, the emperor is ready to resist to the end, otherwise he would never sprinkle gunpowder on the fortifications outside the city.
In addition to being able to ignite and hinder the Prussian attack, the gunpowder was also able to make the Prussian army unlucky.
You must know that gunpowder is flammable, and these lands sprinkled with gunpowder are not defended by imperial soldiers, and once the Prussian soldiers set foot on these fortifications sprinkled with gunpowder, then the emperor only needs to hit a cannonball far away to make the Prussian army on the fortifications become a tragedy.
Although some of the emperor's tricks are not on the table, after all, they still have a certain impact on the war, so the Prussian army needs to come up with a plan to completely solve these small troubles.
