However, when Anna, who was sitting next to William, heard that Sunigo had led the army out of Frankfurt on the eve of the Prussian army's attack on Frankfurt, Anna suddenly became very unhappy with Sunigo.
Of course, this is not to say that Anna wants to be happy to see Sunigo and the Prussian army fighting in Frankfurt, mainly because Anna thinks that Sunigo is really not a man, otherwise he would not run away without a fight.
But this kind of thing can only be said in the heart, otherwise, Louise will know it, and she will not hate Anna much.
And after Louise prayed a few words, the other people in the room, whether they were sincere or flattering, began to chant two sentences like God bless Prussia and so on, and then William naturally became the object of everyone's frenzy, and Lilisa, who was sitting on the other side of Anna, looked at William with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Lilisa's gaze made William's heart suddenly burst into flames, as the saying goes, lust is full of warmth, and people often begin to think about lust after a major matter in their hearts has been effectively resolved.
Because of the arrival of Louise and Anna, William hadn't made love to Lilisa for several days, and the thought of Lilisa's cat-like suppleness and even that little cherry mouth made William's heart move.
And at this moment, Louise stood up and said: "All right, Anna, you take the ladies to walk around the garden, and I will talk to your majesty before I go to you."
With that, Anna and the ladies in the room saluted Louise and William and left the room, when only William and Louise were left in the room.
Louise stretched out her hand for William to sit down, and then said: "William, you see that your uncle still has some affection between us after all.
Otherwise, we would not have withdrawn before our army attacked Frankfurt, and you see if we would have sent someone to Hesse to persuade some of your uncle to renounce his hostility with Prussia, or I would have written to him myself?
” There was a hint of pleading in Louise's voice.
Sunigo is Louise's own brother, and Hesse is where Louise grew up, if it is not really necessary, Louise really does not want to see Prussia and Hesse fight, because then no matter which one is injured, Louise will feel entangled and sad.
Hearing Louise's words, William looked a little embarrassed.
Although Dafilia said in the document as if Sunigo was concerned about the concerns between the two sides.
But William knew in his heart that Sunigo would never give up being an enemy of Prussia out of the care of family affection, after all, in front of the duke given by Sigel, Sunigo was immediately shaken.
At present, Sunigo's departure from Frankfurt is in William's view that he is afraid that his strength will be too heavy and he will withdraw, this kind of action has no family element at all, and it is just self-comforting to say that there is.
Now that the Prussian army has won the victory at Frankfurt, it is in Wilhelm's opinion that it is appropriate to chase after the poor.
When it was not possible to sell the name of the overlord, the 60,000 allied troops of Puying did not suffer too much loss, and it was the time to calm the princes of the Main River in one go.
Moreover, as the supreme commander of the previous emperor, William should not let Sunigo go go so as to give an explanation to the Prussian soldiers.
"Wilhelm, you see that neither Prussia nor Hesse suffered many casualties, and naturally there was not much enmity, and under such circumstances the restoration of rapprochement between the two countries was also for the benefit of the many people on both sides.
The blood of those soldiers could have been avoided because of our relationship, William, you should spare Hesse for my sake!
” Louise's eyes turned red as she spoke, and when she saw Louise's appearance, William said: "Mother.
Give me some time to think about it, after all, the war is really important.
I have to consult with the generals of the military department to give you an answer, war is not child's play, so I can't give you a positive answer now!
” William's words made Louise a little disappointed, but disappointment is better than despair, and now that William has an idea, then Louise naturally doesn't want to intervene too much, so Louise said: "Alright then, William, I'll listen to you" With that, Louise left the room, and after Louise left, William began to weigh the gains and losses.
A truce with Hesse is not impossible, but the situation in Hesse must be clarified.
To be honest, although the Prussian army took Frankfurt without much loss, the Hessian army also did not suffer much damage.
Hesse's army was no worse than that of Prussia, Dafilia made it very clear, and in the Main and even the Rhine, Hesse's strength was among the top three.
After conquering Frankfurt, Prussia only had to take Wiesbaden, Mainz and Württemberg into its control, and the battle could end in a Prussian victory.
And now Mainz and Wiesbaden because of their participation in the formation of the three emperors, the two countries basically have no strength to deal with the Prussian attack, although the remaining Württemberg still has more than 10,000 troops, but Württemberg's army has never been famous for its combat effectiveness, it can be said that as long as Dafilia is well managed, then there is absolutely no problem in capturing the Main River Valley.
In this case, Hesse, Bavaria and Trier stand out, these three states have a certain strength, and even if the three countries are combined, they can put together an army of up to 50,000 men, and once Prussia occupies the whole territory of the Main Valley, then the intersection with the three countries is not the slightest bit, so many of these things need to be considered.
After thinking for a while, William left the room and returned to his office, so William summoned Horn and asked Horn to go to the Military Department and the Cabinet to invite all the important Prussian ministers.
Sometimes one person is short of wisdom and many people are long-term, and perhaps inviting others to think together can often make the best choice.
After Buel went to the Military Department, the building of the Military Department suddenly became a sea of joy.
The slightly more stable generals can be a little more reserved, while the younger staff officers don't care so much.
If Henry hadn't sat overhead, the cheers of the staff officers might have toppled the roof of the Military Department building.
Because Wilhelm basically stayed in Sanssouci Palace in the summer, the Prussian military department and the government cabinet had stations in Brandenburg and Potsdam, and the military department and cabinet could not leave the king's order after all, so wherever Wilhelm went, the important officials of the Prussian high level often had to go.
Immediately adjacent to the Military Department was the office of the Prussian Central Government, and when the government officials heard the loud cheers of the Military Department next door, everyone looked curiously into the building of the Military Department.
The windows were full of figures probing their brains.
Rocks, who was sitting on the top floor of the government building, heard the commotion outside the window, and although he didn't say it, his rolling eyes already showed his curiosity about what was happening in the military department.
After a while, only the shouts in the building of the military department were heard, and gradually unified "Long live Prussia!
Long live His Majesty William!
................”
After a while, one of Locks' attendants ran in from outside the room "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, according to those in the Military Department.
Our army has won victory in Frankfurt, General Dafilia has conquered Frankfurt, and the emperor ** commander Sunigo has been defeated without a fight!

” Although Locks was already an old fox who was old in the world, when the squire's words were finished, Locks' face suddenly appeared excited.
The significance of Frankfurt was so heavy that the capture of Frankfurt meant that Prussia had gained some upper hand in the Austro-Prussian War.
As long as the main side was free, the defeat of the Austrians was likely to become a reality.
In fact, the capture of Frankfurt does not necessarily mean that Prussia can defeat Austria, there is no absolute possibility in this world, but you can't give up because there is little hope, the reason why man can become the master of all things is because man can create miracles.
But the capture of Frankfurt gave everyone hope after all.
"Get the cabinet members ready now.
I think His Majesty will receive us soon!
” Locks' words came true, and sure enough, it wasn't long after.
A royal guard arrives at the government building and delivers the news that William has summoned the officials In the hall of Sanssouci Palace, William's face could no longer see the joy of the capture of Frankfurt, and even because of deep thought, William's forehead was tightly wrinkled.
When everyone had arrived, William said: "I think you all already know the news that Frankfurt was captured by our army, and I won't say anything superfluous, but there is one thing, that is, the capture of Frankfurt is not the end of our army, the end of our army is Vienna!"
After saying this, I saw that the faces of the officials in the hall were a little surprised, everyone thought that William had summoned the officials to celebrate the victory of Frankfurt, but now this remark is a little confusing.
And after William finished speaking, Henry also said: "What Your Majesty said is that although our army has won the victory in the local battle in Frankfurt, after all, our army has not yet gained an advantage in Bohemia, the most important battlefield, so we must not be careless, we need to know that the enemy is still strong!"
After Henry finished speaking, William nodded and said: "Prince Henry is courteous, and it is for another purpose to gather them now.
Presumably, everyone also knows that the main reason why Frankfurt was able to be conquered by our army in such a short period of time is precisely because the commander of the emperor, Sunigo, led the Hessian army to flee without a fight before the war, which created convenience for our army, and what kind of attitude our army needs to face Hesse at the moment is the purpose of my invitation this time!
” After William finished speaking, he looked at the people standing below, but at this moment, everyone was thinking about the meaning of William's words just now.
A quarter of an hour later, it was Henry who spoke first "Your Majesty, this battle Sunigo led the Hessian army to flee without a fight did create a lot of convenience for our army to conquer Frankfurt, but we need to see one thing clearly, that is, when our army was fighting Frankfurt, Sunigo actually blatantly took refuge in Frankfurt, which is a betrayal of our Prussia, so I think Sunigo should be held responsible, and our army must not let go of Hesse!"
Henry, of course, knew that Hesse was Louise's home country.
Even when William spoke, Henry understood.
It must have been Louise who interceded with William after learning that Sunigo had led the Hessian army to flee without a fight, hoping that peace would be restored between the two countries, but in the big picture, Henry was not in favor of restoring peace with Hesse at this time.
Although there is no clear alliance between Hesse and Prussia, because Louise is a Hessian, he also took care of Hesse after Wilhelm came to power, and even when Hesse was affected by disasters a few years ago, Prussia also mobilized a batch of materials from the treasury to aid Hesse free of charge.
But this did not return the gratitude of the Hesses, considering that Nasunigo actually did not hesitate to side with Prussia on the side of Frankfurt after Sigel threw out the title of duke.
If Prussia did not punish such a treacherous person, would it not damage the national prestige of Prussia!
And after Henry spoke, a group of generals of the military department also spoke to support Henry's opinion, and like Henry, these generals' feelings towards Hesse can be described as bitter hatred, and the history of participating in the emperor twice made the soldiers have a natural disgust for Hesse.
But not long after Henry finished speaking.
Locks then said: "Your Majesty, I think there is another choice between us and Hesse!"
"Locks, you're just playing the piano!"
Without waiting for William to speak, after Locks spoke, Henry glared at Locks with angry eyes and said, but for Henry's words.
Locks didn't seem to hear it at all, but the Prime Minister continued: "After all, the Hessians took the initiative to retreat, and their army strength still exists, in such a situation, how to shake hands with Hesse and make peace is a matter of celebration for both sides!
Although at the moment our army is in the Main Valley, plus the 10,000 troops of the British, it is enough to have 60,000 troops.
But the princes of Main are not without the power to resist!
If we push Sunigo too hard, then the dog jumps under the wall.
Sunigo can't really pull up a large army to fight our army, once this happens, then the advantage that our army has achieved before will be lost!
” Locks' words echoed through the hall, but not everyone bought the Prime Minister's words, only to see Ferdinand stand up and say: "Locks, you don't mix sand for Your Majesty here, our Prussian army never asks how many enemies there are, only where they are!
What about Sunigo, even if he raises an army of 100,000 men, my old bones will still go to the battlefield and kill him!
” Ferdinand's words seemed a little arrogant, but at this moment, in the face of Ferdinand, who was over seventy years old, everyone did not say much, but at this moment, they saw Jonas, the Minister of Education of the Prussian Cabinet, stand up "Prince Ferdinand, it is undeniable that you do have the ability to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, and it is not easy to say much about the war as Minister of Education, but there is one thing that I have to report to His Majesty the King here!
Since the beginning of the war, most of the young and strong people of our army have joined the army, although this has provided a lot of soldiers for our country, but at the same time, our country's education has also fallen into paralysis, in some middle schools not only students have joined the army, but even those teachers have accepted the call to sign up for the army, and there are countless such examples in various colleges and universities!
Take the Brandenburg Military Academy as an example, because of the impact of the war, the atmosphere of the academy has become very radical, and a large number of cadets who have not yet undergone all the courses of education enter the army early, in a sense, it is also a hidden danger for the army!
” Jonas spoke loudly, and the hall fell silent as he finished.
Seeing that Jonas was in control, Julian, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, stood up and said: "Since the beginning of the Austro-Prussian war, especially since the beginning of the spring, our country has invested a great deal of manpower and material resources in the war, of course, this does not mean that the war is inappropriate, on the contrary, it is necessary to let the Austrians taste the power of our Prussia!
At the same time, however, because of the war, prices have risen to a certain extent, and although the increase has not exceeded our warning line, if the war continues like this, then the rise in prices will be a foregone conclusion, and the war has also had a great impact on commercial and trade activities, and the fiscal and tax revenues in the first half of the year have shown a sharp downward trend compared with last year.
At the same time, the expansion of the army has intensified military spending, and the money of the treasury is always limited, and if the army expands again, or the scale of the war is further expanded, then it will exceed the ability of the treasury to pay, and there is nothing to be done in the future!
” After the Chancellor of the Exchequer finished speaking, he did not expect that there was an uproar among the generals of the Military Department "Last time, I said that the treasury had enough money and food, but this time I cried poor, I think the people in the Ministry of Finance are not corrupt, otherwise how could this happen!"
"That's it, if you look at those sub-officials of the government who spend money outside from time to time, I think they must have done a lot of ghost things!"
"We're going to check the accounts!
How can the treasury run out of money!

” The shouting was incessant, and William's head was so big that it made William's head bigger.
In the midst of the uproar of the crowd, Locks said unusually calmly: "Your Majesty, the relationship between countries is actually the same as people, one more enemy is better than one more friend, and if you talk to Hesse and me, you can draw part of your strength from the Main, and when the time comes, it can come in a greater role in the Bohemian theater, and you can't fight to the end with the Hesse!"
