As for helping Sweden apply for a loan from the British, it was a cake that seemed to be very fat but had no substance in it, because of the Austro-Prussian War, the British provided Prussia with hundreds of thousands of pounds of funds, material aid, and millions of pounds of interest-free and even descendant loans.
But the British are not an inexhaustible treasury, and the British have a lot of places to spend their money, and even the British spend much more than Prussia, and in such a situation, the amount of money that the British can invest in Sweden, which has nothing to do with them, is completely visible.
The Prussians were not without money, and the reason why they applied for aid and loans from the British was because Prussia had saved the idea of not wanting nothing in vain, and only fools would go to work for others without compensation, and Prussia was obviously not a fool.
Although Gustav did not immediately respond in front of the Prussian envoys, but then without the obstruction of the Prussian forces, Sweden almost unanimously shouted the call for a declaration of war against Russia, and the cries were so loud that Gustav had to follow the trend.
In addition to the 40,000 troops stationed in Norway, Sweden has 30,000 mobile forces at its disposal, and if a few soldiers are recruited from all over the country, it can raise 50,000 troops, and 50,000 troops are enough to deal with the now chaotic Russian Empire. ............................
The reason why the Swedes declared war on the Russian Empire was that William hoped that Sweden's accession would make the situation in the Russian Empire more chaotic, but also because he was afraid of Sweden at present.
The combat effectiveness of the Swedish army is still acceptable, and after the capture of Norway, the Swedes will definitely not be satisfied with the current territory, they will still expand outward, and in this case, Prussia is a little eye-catching.
Moreover, the Prussian intelligence services had also detected that the Austrian envoy was now in Sweden to persuade Gustav.
As for what the Austrians were thinking, Wilhelm could guess with his eyes closed.
Under such circumstances, how could Wilhelm allow the Swedes to sit and watch the excitement, in case the Swedes were told by the Austrians to go to war with Prussia.
In fact, the Prussian Fifth Division is still deployed in Denmark and cannot move, in addition to deterring the Danes, it also has the intention of guarding against Sweden.
The Swedes also have an army of 70,000 or 80,000, and if they are mobilized to a certain extent, the number of troops can exceed 100,000.
In such a situation, how could William rest assured.
You can never count on the help of others to achieve success in anything, unless that person is your pro-Lao Tzu, and the key is that in many cases, pro-Lao Tzu cannot be trusted.
Like Gustantif, William never counted on it.
How much of a difference that thin Preh alliance agreement can make?
Basically, any alliance agreement in history will eventually be torn up, and its fate will be similar to that of an armistice.
After entering September, it is the most beautiful season for flowers to bloom.
In Potsdam's Sanssouci Palace, William was putting his head on Anna's stomach, although it was impossible to hear anything for just over two months, but William who put his head on Anna's stomach still felt a strange feeling, which was exactly what William had never felt, that is, the feeling of being a father for the first time.
After Anna became pregnant.
William and Anna also saw each other more often, and even became more considerate of Anna.
William's change made Anna happy but also a little sad, if she hadn't been pregnant.................
After driving the ridiculous thought out of her mind, Anna's palm rested on William's head and rubbed it quietly, which was the warmth of family.
Standing by the upstairs window, seeing this warm scene not far downstairs, Louise's face appeared with joy.
But then she asked Buel, who was beside her: "Has the emissary sent to Hesse returned?"
"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, the envoy sent to Hesse has not returned for the time being.
But I think that under such circumstances, His Highness Sunigo will no longer choose to be hostile to Prussia, so peace between the two countries may not be long before then!
” After listening to Buel's answer, the smile on Louise's face became even bigger, but then, Louise seemed to think of something, and saw her frown slightly and asked Bouel: "I heard that those people from Austria have come to harass Her Highness again?"
"Yes.
Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother!
” "The next time those people from Austria come again, you let them come to me first, and now Her Royal Highness is pregnant and can't talk about it in peacetime, Buel.
You're the head of the royal family, so you don't need me to worry about some things."
"Your Highness, what you said is that I will pay attention next time!"
Hearing that Buel had answered, Louise smiled and nodded.
Louise and Buel are talking about the Austrian envoy from Vienna, since Anna became pregnant, the Viennese side sent people to Sanssouci Palace almost every week after sending Franz to visit, and of course everyone knew what the Austrians were for purpose.
As the queen of Prussia, coupled with Anna's pregnancy, Anna's status in Prussia has not been raised to a very high level.
And some things are suitable to be carried out in the name of Anna, otherwise, depending on the current state of war between Prussia and Austria, the Austrians in Prussia may be unlucky, but fortunately they still have Anna's protection.
So for example, Austrian merchants and goods were seized, Austrians were attacked in Prussia, and so on, and so on, the Austrian ambassador would come to Sanssouci Palace to ask Anna to come forward when the coordination was fruitless.
Louise has no objection to Anna's appearance, but too often always makes Louise feel unsure, and now that Anna is pregnant, Louise doesn't want Anna to be busy because of some mundane things.
Sometimes, the women in the palace are very pathetic, and Louise can be said to be deeply aware of this.
On the one hand, it is necessary to deal with the possible change of mind of the palace master, and on the other hand, it is necessary to consider all aspects so as not to leave the impression of unknown importance to others.
In any country, the royal palace is the dirtiest place, and the struggle between men can be described as iron and blood, while the struggle between women is invisible to the eyes and cannot be touched by the hands, but it can make people die without a place to bury. .........................
After Tuha led his army to meet with Karl's troops, a military meeting was held, and at this military meeting, the next attack on Bratna became the main topic.
Karl told the Grand Duke of Tuha all about his previous thoughts.
After thinking about it for a while, Tuha said: "Karl, your idea is generally fine, but have you thought about it, and if the Prussians took advantage of this idea and set a trap in the east of Bratna, how should you deal with it?"

"This ..........."
Tuha's rhetorical question made Carl a little entangled.
Then Tuha said earnestly: "For generals not only to see the battle in front of them, but also to the changes around the battle, as a general, we should develop a keen intuition, in many cases, this intuition will help us win the war!"
"That's what the Grand Duke said!"
After Tuha finished speaking, the generals in the military tent responded one after another.
And then Karl asked: "And what do we do next?"
"According to your predetermined plan, we continue to march east!"
Confused by Tuha's answer, Karl said: "Your Highness, didn't you just say that the enemy might set up an ambush in the eastern part of Bratna?"
"Karl, I'm just guessing that there is no clear evidence that the Prussians have set up an ambush east of Bratna, but the present situation means that we have to go around Bratna wisely east.
The terrain to the west was low, and in front of us was a mess of ground destroyed by the Prussians.
Now that you know what we are doing, I may tell you that the Prussians have defeated their enemy on the Main, and I think it will not be long before the Prussians will be able to pull out of the Main, and this will force us to defeat the enemy on the opposite side in the shortest possible time, or else the situation of our army will be disadvantaged!
” Hear that the Prussians have defeated the Emperor of the Main.
Karl's face was filled with surprise, and just then, Tuha continued: "We don't have time to go any further, we have to defeat our enemy before Prussian reinforcements arrive, time is a bit short, so even if the Prussians do set up an ambush in the east, we still have to go!"
After speaking.
Tuha waved his hand to let the other generals in the tent leave, leaving Karl alone.
"Carl, I have a hunch about this battle.
The Prussians will definitely set a trap, and since we all know about the victory of the Prussian army at Main, there is no reason why our opponents should not know, so in such a situation, the enemy will definitely do everything to delay time!
The next battle will be a tough battle, Karl you are my optimistic person, and you are also the hope of the future of the empire, sometimes you must know how to take advantage of the situation in the war, and in the next battle you will lead your army as the rear guard of the army, I will hand over all the back roads to you, you must ensure that nothing goes wrong!
” Tuha's words suddenly gave Karl a sense of foreboding in his heart, and he exclaimed: "Your Excellency, General, let me continue to be the vanguard of the army, you are the commander of the 90,000 troops in the entire Bohemian line, it is really not a good idea to let you sacrifice your life to take risks!"
After listening to Carl's words, Tuha smiled slightly: "As you said, I am the commander of the 90,000 Austrian army, and in the eyes of the Prussians, my value is much higher than yours, so in such a situation, if the Prussians have any traps, then they will definitely launch it immediately after seeing my banner, and with you in the back, we can avoid losing ground, so Karl, you have to listen to my orders!"
"No!"
Karl immediately gave Tuha a military salute and answered loudly.
Although in front of Karl, Tuha affirmed his idea, but after Karl left, Tuha sat in his place and thought deeply again.
In fact, as he said, the only way to break the current stalemate was to capture Bratna and eliminate Dessau's troops there before Prussian reinforcements arrived, so that Tuha would not fall into passivity in the subsequent battle.
Previously, although Karl reported the situation of Bratner to Tuha in the military newspaper, Tuha was a little suspicious.
Now, when Tuha really saw the Prussians' generosity, Tuha knew that the Prussians must have laid countless traps in their way.
Therefore, Tuha decided to pull up the 10,000 retainers who had been placed in the rear, which he had not intended to use, and he decided to have a good battle with the Prussians under the city of Bratna, and the price of the contest was the lives of the tens of thousands of horses under the command of both sides. ........................
Napoleon though took the Calais region.
Soon, however, the British expeditionary force landed on the European continent with the help of Dutch allies, and then 50,000 British troops marched from Holland to Calais, ready to teach Napoleon a lesson.
Of course, there was an Austrian Netherlands between the Netherlands and France, which is now Belgium, but all this was not a problem for the British.
The Austrians had only a little more than 10,000 men in the Austrian Netherlands, and the 10,000-strong army was still deeply involved in the uprisings in the Netherlands, in other words.
The Austrian Netherlands simply had no strength to stop the advance of the British team.
When the British team assembled in Holland and was discovered by the Austrians, an urgent letter was sent from the Austrian Netherlands to Vienna.
Leopold II decided to ask the French for help, and now Napoleon of France was leading an army of 60,000 men on the line in Calais, which was not far from the Austrian Netherlands.
As for whether the French would agree, Leopold II was not worried about this, and everyone understood the truth of cold lips and teeth.
It goes without saying who the British were aiming at with their menacing army of 50,000, and under such circumstances, how could the French sit idly by and watch the British occupy the Austrian Netherlands, and then use the Austrian Netherlands as a base to infiltrate the French mainland.
When Louis XVI received Leopold II's request for help, he naturally agreed, knowing that supporting the Austrian Netherlands was not only helping the Austrians but also helping France.
Without the Austrian Netherlands, the British would have fallen directly on the French.
Now that the country was close to being in ruins, Louis XVI naturally did not want war to start on his own soil, and the Austrian Netherlands was undoubtedly the most suitable battlefield.
Under these circumstances, Louis XVI gave an order to Napoleon, and the king demanded that Napoleon immediately lead an army to the Austrian Netherlands to help the Austrians deal with the damned English.
When this order was passed to Napoleon, Napoleon held it in his hand and shook it a few times.
To tell the truth, since the conquest of Calais, Napoleon's time in the past few months can be said to be quite nourishing, in Louis XVI in Versailles.
France's northern defense line could only rely on the army of Napoleon, who could be called the emperor of the northern regions.
With a series of victories against the rebels and an army of 60,000 in his hands, Napoleon has now become the hottest figure in the entire Kingdom of France.
Napoleon knew that although his kingdom now seemed to be powerful, it was all built on Napoleon's army of 60,000.

And once these 60,000 troops lose the ability to deter others, their own situation will probably become very bad.
Thus, even though there was no great enemy around, Napoleon imposed a strict training program in the army, and almost every French soldier was desperate to die every day before such a training program.
But long training is not without benefits, at least the physical fitness of each soldier increases.
And for the soldiers of the army, Napoleon has always been generous, because now the French treasury is tight, and the logistics of the army are naturally nervous, in this case, it is almost difficult for the soldiers to be able to eat a meal of meat, and in order to make the soldiers have enough nutrition, Napoleon even paid out of his own pocket, and those goods rewarded by Louis XVI were exchanged by Napoleon for fish and meat to treat his soldiers.
It can be said that after a few months, Napoleon not only received an army of brave soldiers, but also an army loyal to him.
When Louis XVI gave the order to send Napoleon's troops to the Arcane Netherlands, Napoleon immediately broke away from his old life and quickly began to gather the generals of his army.
"Your Excellency General, last night, you slept in the military tent for another night, and you didn't care for your own body!"
While Napoleon was rummaging through the papers in the military tent, he saw a girl enter the military tent, and the girl's face was very surprising, because it was Queen Mary who was alive!
Of course, this girl is definitely not Queen Mary, because Queen Mary is in the Palace of Versailles, how can she appear in Calais hundreds of miles away.
"Lenbecca, why don't you rest for a while, don't move around if you're not in good health!"
Looking at the girl who walked in, Napoleon's face had a hint of warmth.
If other generals saw it, they would probably be shocked, because the Napoleon in people's impressions at this moment and the Napoleon in people's impressions are completely different.
Rebecca is the name of the girl, this girl was found by Napoleon in a ruin of Calais one day, when several refugees were targeting Rebecca with malicious intentions to commit violence, which Napoleon did not want to take care of, because this kind of thing happened almost every day.
But Rebecca's eyes for help made Napoleon stop, and although Rebecca's face was all dirty at that time, Napoleon was still shocked in his heart, because this look was so similar to a certain woman in Napoleon's heart!
