Okay, there's a lot of digression, but in short, after William reiterated the issue of command, Dessau was completely relieved, after all, for generals of Dessau's level, what they were most afraid of was not a god-like opponent but a pig-like teammate!
Soon after William's arrival, a meeting was convened of all the Prussian troops in Bohemia at the rank of regimental commander and above, at which Wilhelm announced to everyone that Dessau would be the supreme commander of the 90,000 Prussian troops on the Bohemian line, including the royal guard, and that even William would have to obey Dessau's orders if he felt the need.
After the military conference, Dessau's position was strengthened and consolidated as never before.
On the other side of the Prussian army, Tuha, who had received reinforcements from Hungary and Vienna, was also hesitant for a while.
The two sides have returned to the state at the beginning of the war, but everyone knows that all the forces that can be gathered on both sides in a short period of time are concentrated here, whether it is Prussia or Austria, as long as both sides are severely damaged, then they will face a situation from which they will never recover.
"Your Majesty, the Harrier Eagle and the Swallow have penetrated into the enemy's interior, ready to launch a deadly attack on the enemy!"
"Well, I see, but tell Hans to keep him waiting, it's not the best time to use the Harrier Eagle and the Swallow, we have spent too much time laying out these two pieces, and using them right now will not get the most benefit for us!"
Hearing William say this, Buel nodded, and then stood aside and fell silent.
The Harrier Eagle and the Swallow mentioned by William and Buel were the code names of two of the most important spies of the Prussian intelligence services.
As William said, for the sake of these two high-ranking spies, Prussia spent a lot of time and money on the layout.
However, Prussia's good intentions were not in vain.
It can be said that these two chess pieces are quite important, and once they are in them, they can even change the situation in parts of the European continent.
As William continued to flip through the papers in his hand, Horn hurried in.
Horn's performance during this period was seen by William, and the reward was that William became more and more important to Horn, and even signaled many times that Hornd could take over the position of royal head after Buel.
"Your Majesty, the latest information received.
The army led by General Ferdinand the Younger defeated the Austrian army in the Moravian region, killing more than 6,000 of the enemy and capturing more than 15,400 of the enemy.
The remaining nearly 30,000 Austrian troops retreated to the border near Hungary, and General Ferdinand Jr. was now leading his troops to rest in Moravia and ask for the next strategic goal!
” Hearing that Ferdinand Jr. had won in Moravia, William's face suddenly showed joy, knowing that he had been expecting Ferdinand Jr. to win in Moravia.
Because as soon as the Prussian army was victorious on the Moravian front.
Not only can the road to the Hungarian region be opened.
At the same time, it also meant that the Austrian army did not have enough forces to pose a mortal threat to Prussia on the Eastern Front, and in such a situation, Prussia could have drawn troops from the Moravian front to join the Bohemian battlefield as the precedent of the Main theater of operations.
In addition to the deployment of troops, the occupation of most of Moravia would also cause turmoil on the entire line of the Austrian army, and Moravia was not very far from the Bohemian line where the two armies were now facing each other, and Tuha should consider the security of his eastern front.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
After hearing the good news, Buel immediately congratulated William, who also stood up and said with a smile: "Little Ferdinand did not disappoint me.
Ferdinand the Younger was instructed to leave behind three divisions to capture Moravia and to remain vigilant against the remnants of the Austrian army.
As for him personally, he led two divisions to the Brno front line to maintain the suppression of the Austrian army on the Eastern Front!
” After receiving William's military order, Horn immediately left in a hurry to convey William's order, and William, who remained in the room, immediately summoned Dessau and other Bohemian first-line Prussian generals to announce the good news. ..........................
The Prussian army led by Dafilia fought fiercely with the Bavarian army led by Itans in the area of Newenburg in the north of Bavaria.
God seems to have deliberately embarrassed the Prussian and Bavarian armies, and on the day of the outbreak of the battle between the two sides, a torrential rain suddenly fell from the previously clear sky, which made the armies of both sides unsustainable, after all, when it rained, the combat effectiveness of both sides was greatly reduced.
The muddy roads and the constant pouring rain made both sides on the battlefield sigh even if they were holding back the fire in their hearts.
However, compared to the Bavarian army, the Prussian army was much better, and nearly half of the soldiers in the Prussian army had been modified with Frederick 1790 rifles, and this firearm was undoubtedly better than the previous rifles in terms of ammunition closure, at least without worrying about the threat of rain when the gunpowder was loaded into the barrel.
So there was a special plan in Dafilia's mind.
The rain was heavy, and after a day it showed no signs of stopping, and according to the experience of several Bavarian Leaders in the Prussian army, it would rain for several more days!
This gave Dafilia an inspiration, that is, when the rain was heavy and the Bavarian scouts were shrinking, he mobilized the troops that had been deployed west of Newenburg to lurk in the rear of the Bavarian army, and then closed the Bavarian army after the weather cleared.
This plan was found to be feasible after many exercises by Dafilia's staff officers, but the key to this plan was whether the 17th Division could overcome the weather and reach the rear of the Bavarian army in the shortest possible time.
(Sorry, there was a mistake in the previous article, and that was that it was the 3rd Division of Scharnhorst that went to Bohemia to support it, and the 17th Division to the west of Newenburg!)
） In the battle in the Main theater of operations, the 17th Division can be said to have been disabled for a time, but fortunately, with strong support from Prussia, the 17th Division was fully replenished within a few months after the cripple.
Although the 17th Division has returned to its heyday, because of the fierce battles experienced by the 17th Division on the Main River, ninety percent of the 17th Division are recruits, and even Otlan himself is skeptical about the combat effectiveness of these recruits.
Looking at the heavy rain outside the military tent, Otlan was very apprehensive, but he knew that this was an opportunity for him, and it was also a test for the 17th Division.
"Troops!"
Otlan made up his mind "Order all units to prepare for the march and the rain, and in three hours we will be dispatched!"
As soon as Otland's words were finished, a staff officer asked suspiciously: "But Your Excellency, Division Commander, it's still raining so heavily outside.....
Our soldiers don't know if they can withstand ........!
” "The warriors of our Prussian army are not those soft-footed shrimp, if you can't even stand this kind of weather, it will be an insult to the prestige of our Prussian kingdom, you don't need to say more, I have made up my mind!"
Otlan stared blankly at the heavy rain outside the window, which had now turned into a test in his eyes, a God's test for the Seventeenth Division.

Soon the 17th Division was ready to send troops, all the soldiers wore thick raincoats, and the weapons and ammunition carried by the soldiers were covered with a thick tarpaulin.
The main reason for this dispatch was that it was fast, so the 17th Division only carried rations and ammunition for 10 days for individual soldiers.
And because the road was muddy due to the rain, the heavy artillery of the artillery regiment of the 17th Division was left in place, and of course the light artillery was brought by the artillerymen.
After leaving two battalions of troops to guard the camp and supplies, the 17th Division sent troops in such a rainy season!
