Chapter 586: Three Stages


However, the protest of the Swedes was rejected by the Prussian government, and the Prussian government gave an official note that the Prussian government had the right to defend the security of its territory, and even if Sweden and Prussia had an alliance agreement, in the absence of an official edict from the Prussian king, any other team that rashly stepped into Prussian territory would be regarded as an enemy.

Despite Prussia's protest against the Swedes, Brandenburg immediately reported the situation to Wilhelm.

Thinking of the Swedes, William had a headache at the moment.

Originally, in William's plan, these Swedes were used against the Russians, and at this moment, the rebellion in Russia was about to be extinguished, and Prussia would never watch St.

Petersburg successfully put down the rebellion at home.

It is in the interests of Prussia to have only a chaotic Russia, but at present, after the arrival of the Russian Emperor Alexander on the Estonian front, under the command of Bagration, the Russian army with the Russian emperor is marching all the way and fighting several beautiful battles in the border area, while Kutuzov is losing one after another, although Kutuzov's army has not suffered heavy losses, but according to the report of the spy, Kutuzov's rebel soldiers have fallen to a low point.

As for the duel between Rumyantsev and Brankoff, it has now reached the final moment.

Immediately after the arrival of reinforcements from the Caucasus, Rumyantsev gave Blankov several harsh slaps in the face in the Moscow region, relying on his superiority in strength.

In this case, Prussia, naturally, did not want the Swedes to drag Kutuzov back.

In response to this situation, Wilhelm ordered the Prussian government to immediately send a diplomatic note to the Swedish ambassador.

Tell the attitude of the Swedes and Prussians.

In addition to these matters, Wilhelm also had to deal with the official documents forwarded by Brandenburg to the local governments, of which the official letters concerning the conscription of the army took the lion.

Although William appointed Locks to act as state minister during his absence from Brandenburg.

However, some official documents need to be handled by William himself, and army recruitment is a top priority.

At present, Prussia can be said to have basically completed the second stage of conscription, and in this case, it can be said that the Kingdom of Prussia has reached a limit.

The Prussian conscription hierarchy was divided into three stages, the first of which was the re-entry of soldiers who had been discharged within five years to rejoin the army, and the early conscription of cadets from various military academies.

The second stage was the conscription of young men in Prussia who had no legitimate occupation and did not continue their studies, and the age of conscription was between the ages of 16 and 40.

The so-called legitimate occupations naturally refer to those in military factories, banks, government offices, and state-owned units.

These two stages can be said to have exhausted all the young men of appropriate age who could be recruited without affecting Prussia's domestic production.

And once it enters the third stage, it is undoubtedly the most dangerous stage in Prussia, because according to the Prussian government decree, once it enters the third stage of conscription.

All men between the ages of 14 and 60 will be forcibly conscripted into the army, regardless of whether they have a legitimate occupation or not.

According to the estimates of the Military Ministry, after the completion of the second stage of the call-up, the whole of Prussia will have an army of almost 400,000 people.

Even in the midst of this whole year of fighting.

The Prussian army suffered considerable losses.

However, in addition to replenishing the losses of the master regiments, those conscripts also reorganized five divisions, and the remaining 50,000 men were all assembled in various places and stood by to replenish the front line at any time or be trained to become new divisions.

However, even if Prussia was well prepared, the wounds of the war were still visible, and if it were not for the fact that the British had repeatedly provided Prussia with interest-free or low-interest loans after the outbreak of the war, the entire Prussian government's finances would have collapsed.

But even with the support of the British, Prussia's finances were greatly affected, according to the Prussian government's estimates, if before the winter of 1793.

If Prussia had not yet won a decisive victory, the Prussian government would have been on the verge of bankruptcy.

This report of the Prussian government had a great impact on William.

Prussia's expenses in the war, even if it took out all the assets of the Hohenzollern royal family, could barely last another half a year.

Wilhelm therefore decided that a major attack on the Austrians must be launched at the end of this year, and that this war in Prussia must have a great victory this year that would determine the course of the war.

While the Prussian army was gathering strength and waiting for the beginning of spring to give the Austrians a head-on blow, the Austrian army of the Grand Duke of Tuha was also silently licking its wounds.

Karl's plan for a sneak attack, though unsuccessful, at least pulled the Prussian 4th and 7th Divisions out of the Bohemian theater of battle, leaving the Austrian army in front of Tuha with only four Prussian divisions and a royal guard.

Although the Austrian army was not enterprising at this stage, Tuha was confident that with his own army, he would have no problem holding on to the line at hand, unless the Prussians were willing to give more of their soldiers' lives to fight the Austrian army.

But Tuha forgot that the Prussian army in front of him was not without reinforcements, and that Dafilia's 40,000-strong army seemed to be stationed in Bavaria after conquering Munich, but Dafilia himself knew that he was just waiting for an opportune moment.

Dafilia used these months to not only eliminate most of the resistance forces against Prussia in Bavaria, but also to support the pro-Prussian Bavarian aristocracy to ascend to the throne, and for those Bavarian nobles who could not see the situation clearly, Dafilia also took an extraordinary stance.

To a certain extent, this made the opposition to Prussia in Bavaria from the beginning of the vigorous to now can only be held in the stomach, and Dafilia did not forget to incorporate those defeated Bavarian troops, of course, the reorganized Bavarian army is full of Prussian eyes, and the officers of this army are even more Prussian.

The pro-Prussian officials who had been suppressed by Itans had once again come to the fore, and the Bavarian officials were more humble than ever before in the face of the powerful Prussia.

In addition to the troops stationed in Bavaria to suppress the situation in various places, Dafilia could now use his first division and the British ** team led by Ernst, which together had a huge 20,000 men.

Dafilia had planned to lead his army from Bavaria down the Rhine to Vienna, but Ernst's words later made him change his mind.

At that time Ernst said to Dafilia: "It is a gratifying thing for Your Excellency to lead a large army to Vienna, but Your Excellency, please understand that Vienna is one of the most fortified cities on the European continent, and it is impossible for a large army to carry a large number of artillery and machinery for attacking the city.

Moreover, Vienna is the nest of the Habsburg royal family, once our army is under the city of Vienna, then the Austrians are bound to fight to the end, in the face of Vienna with a complete city defense system and united in the fight with their lives, how many soldiers' lives are you prepared to fill?

” It was thanks to Ernst's persuasion that Dafilia changed his mind and devoted all his energies to pacifying the situation in Bavaria.

After months of hard work, Dafilia's efforts had already reaped some rewards, and these rewards led Dafilia to decide to lead his army to reinforce Prussia's Bohemian theater.

According to Dafilia's idea, he will lead 20,000 troops from Munich to the eastern Bavarian city of Regan, and then from Reagan to the mountains and continue eastward to the rear of Tuha's headquarters, Pisaigan, after reaching Pissegen, Dafilia will lead the army to the north and Marshal Dessau's headquarters to directly attack the heart of the Austrian army in Tuha's department, that is, Tuha's garrison - Seidlice.

Dafilia's vision is not imperfect, but it is also built on one foundation, and that is speed.

The reason why Tuha ignored the danger of Dafilia in his rear was because Tuha had a large number of Austrian scouts in the mountains along the Bohemian and Bavarian borders.

And once Daphia led his army over the mountains, the scouts would definitely be able to transmit the movements of Dafilia's troops to Tuha's desk in the shortest possible time, and Tuha was quite confident in this.

And as long as Daphilia's department is discovered by Tuha, then Daphia will lose the first move, and Tuha will be completely free to destroy Daphia's partial division.

Even if Dafilia led all the troops to come, Tuha was not afraid, he could lead the army to retreat to Pisek, as the main base of the Austrian army, the city of Pisek not only stored a large number of Austrian army logistics baggage, but also from Pisek to Tabor, the Austrian army also had a previously repaired fortified line, Tuha was confident that this line could withstand the Prussians.

And this idea of Tuha was conceived after learning that the Prussians and Bavaria were at war.

It is enough for a general to be brave and dare to fight, but a good commander is one in a thousand.

And Dessau is undoubtedly a qualified commander, but compared with William, a traverser, he is still a little worse in luck!
