In order to deal with Napoleon's possible attack, it was decided after research by William and Dessau that the 7th Division and the 4th Division, which had been crippled in the battle on the outskirts of Bratna, to the rear.
On the one hand, it is to facilitate the supply of the above two divisions, after all, the general structure of the two divisions is still there, and there are many local government supply barracks from the Bohemian front to Brandenburg, according to William's estimate, this way to replenish the past, even if the two divisions do not recover to the previous size, at least a total strength of 12,000 people is still possible.
In addition, there were 5,000 militia in the Brandenburg area, and in Duisburg of the Holy Roman Empire, there were two divisions of the Holy Roman Empire controlled by the Prussians.
If this is added, the total number of troops will reach a considerable 40,000 or so.
Of course, Wilhelm had already ordered his men to hurry to Duisburg, and William gave a death order to be delivered before Napoleon's troops set foot on the territory of the Holy Roman Empire.
In William's plan, these 40,000 men would be concentrated in the Hanover area, where they would join the Hanover garrison and fight Napoleon in a decisive battle.
January, 1793 The news of the heavy defeat of the Hungarian army reached Hungary, and the news immediately shook the whole of Hungary like a bombshell.
All the nobles who had sent troops to join the Hungarian army gathered in Budapest, and they gathered to ask Alexander for an explanation.
In the face of so many excited Hungarian nobles, on the one hand, Alexander asked Daniel to come out and persuade these nobles with kind words.
On the other hand, he did not forget to comfort these nobles, and a large number of supplies were taken out of the warehouse of the Hungarian Doge's palace to reward them.
Daniel, who was too busy to touch the ground, took a gap and pulled Alexander aside and said: "Your Excellency the Governor.
If we can't go on like this, the supplies in the warehouse of the Doge's Palace are used by us to ensure the completion of the mission in Vienna, and these materials are used to comfort these Hungarian nobles, and if we can't muster the troops required by Vienna, your place will be suspended!
” Daniel's words made Alexander uneasy for a while, and of course he knew that these supplies should not be touched lightly, knowing that they were all prepared by Alexander to form the other 70,000 troops required by Vienna.
At present, another 40,000 people have been called up in Hungary, and this task is expected to be completed.
But now for these Hungarian nobles, whether the supplies are enough has become a big problem.
"Daniel, how much do we have left?"
"Your Excellency the Governor, our current supplies are only enough to arm another 10,000 troops, and the gold and silver stored in the warehouse have also consumed a lot, and if we don't wait for us to gather the army, I'm afraid we won't even be able to pay the military salaries that were previously conscripted!"
Alexander did not have a cornucopia.
His money didn't come out of nowhere.
On the one hand, this money was the tax he had collected from Hungary over the years, and a large part of it was the dowry of his fiancée, Isabella of the Barit family.
The other part is all of Alexander's savings since he was so old.
In order to complete the mission in Vienna and show his father and his courtiers what he was capable of, Alexander could be said to have taken out all his possessions.
Originally, according to Alexander's estimate, the money and supplies were enough for him to train another 70,000 troops.
But now who knows that the army sent to the Bohemian front before was actually heavily damaged, and the loss of more than 10,000 people made Alexander almost pay a lot of money.
After all, the pensions for those sacrificed soldiers were something that Alexander had to give.
And at the same time that Alexander needed to compensate the fallen soldiers, the Hungarian nobles also saw the opportunity to ask Alexander for conditions, and Alexander could only satisfy them for these conditions.
Otherwise, these nobles would not have helped.
Wherever Alexander went to gather the rest of the army, even the army that had been drafted was likely to be demoralized.
"Daniel, what else can you do?"
"Your Excellency the Governor.
Since ancient times, there have been only two ways to save money, one is to open up money and the other is to reduce expenditure.
At present, it is impossible to throttle, and only open source methods can be considered, but this method is really ........"
"Daniel, if you have anything, say it quickly, don't hide it!"
Seeing that Daniel was a little thoughtful, Alexander anxiously urged, and when he heard Alexander's urging, Daniel said with a look of embarrassment: "For now, we can only find a way from these Hungarian nobles, or you will go to the Barrett family again?"
Hearing Daniel say this, the expression on Alexander's face became a little depressed and said: "Daniel, it's not like you don't know, since the last time I went to the Barrett family, now that old fox Barrett doesn't know where to hide, he sent Isabella's dowry, and now I don't even know where Isabella is, I don't think that old fox can be trusted!"
Hearing Alexander say this, Daniel had no choice but to lower his head.
In order to recruit the 30,000 troops he had previously sent to Bohemia, Alexander personally led his troops to besiege the Barrett family.
Despite Alexander's strength, Barrett agreed to Alexander's request, not only to marry Isabella, but also to send soldiers to Alexander's army, and the next day, Barrett sent a large amount of gold and silver treasures, saying that it was Isabella's dowry.
Alexander thought that the Barrett family had relented, so he lifted the blockade of the Barrett family, but it was less than a week later, and when Alexander came to see Barrett again, he found that there were only three or two kittens left in a family manor in Nuoda, and the entire Barrett family was gone.
This incident made Alexander depressed for several days.
At this moment, Daniel's face was tangled, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Alexander: "Your Highness, do you know that the French general Napoleon annihilated the British Expeditionary Force in Antwerp?"
"I know the news!
But what does this have to do with us?
” "Your Highness, you should know that this Napoleon completely annihilated the British expeditionary force, so how should the Prussians deal with themselves, you must know that Napoleon's army can still have more than 50,000 men and horses after this battle, so many troops, and what will Prussia, where the army is all concentrated on the front line, take to resist!"
Hearing this, Alexander's face became a little interested.

"Your Highness, I think the Prussians will definitely have to send most of their troops to the Western Front to guard against the attack of Napoleon's army, so it is foreseeable that during this time, the Grand Duke of Tuha should have no pressure to face the Prussians who have drawn a lot of troops..........."
"Alright, Daniel, you can just talk to me about it!"
"Your Highness!"
Daniel shouted and fell to his knees, and Alexander was a little confused by Daniel's actions, only to see Daniel continue: "Your Highness, what I say now has no two intentions, after I finish speaking, it is up to you to kill or chop!
It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has never intended you to inherit the throne, otherwise, but the 30,000 horses you helped the Grand Duke of Tuha some time ago would be enough to make you glorious in Vienna, but His Majesty the Emperor did not transfer you back, but let you continue to stay in Hungary, on the one hand, it seems that you value you, but in your opinion, this is completely to make you lose the idea of the throne!
” Hearing Daniel say this, Alexander was stunned for a moment, and then he thought deeply and felt that there seemed to be some truth, but Alexander didn't want to believe it, he waved his hand and smiled at Daniel: "Daniel, don't be kidding, how could my father do this to me!"
"Your Highness, wake up!
How could he Franz do the position of crown prince, if it were not for the support of His Majesty the Emperor, he Franz would have been able to create such a big momentum?
You must know that His Royal Highness Franz has always been familiar with the affairs of the Imperial Government, and you were banished from Vienna early, which seems to be a great deal of use to you, but from the moment you came to Hungary, you were on the opposite side of the Austrian ministers, and how could those Austrian ministers allow a Hungarian governor to inherit the throne!
” Alexander's expression was changing as Daniel spoke "Your Highness, the situation in Hungary is well known to everyone throughout the Empire, but this is the case, after you have worked hard to support the Empire with 30,000 troops, His Majesty the Emperor actually asked you to contribute another 70,000 troops at the suggestion of Franz.
In fact, there are some words that have been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I have always had an idea that in fact, asking you to assist the front-line army is not a disguised consumption of your strength, and if these Hungarian troops lose too much, then at that time, you will even lose the hearts of the Hungarians!
Now is an opportunity for you, the army in Vienna is on the Bohemian front, and the entire Vienna area is only defended by a few thousand men, while the Hungarian army under our command is now 40,000 men!
Sometimes, the battle for the throne is not just about who has the greatest contribution, and sometimes whoever has more troops in his hands will get the throne!
” With that, Daniel buried his head deep in the ground.
Soon after Daniel finished speaking, Alexander looked at Daniel carefully as if he knew the Daniel in front of him for the first time, and it didn't take long for Alexander to take out the saber on his waist and press it against Daniel's neck.
"Tell me, whose man are you?
What the hell is the premeditation that has been with me for so long!
