However, since Napoleon was not killed by Louis XVI, then William did not have to feel sorry for himself, after all, Prussia is in a much better situation than in the original history, and Napoleon did not become the savior of the whole of France as in the original history, on the contrary, although Napoleon had a strong army in his hands, his reputation in France was mixed.
Immediately after the signing of the Second Austro-Prussian Armistice, Wilhelm issued an order to Dafilia in Bavaria, in which the 1st and 2nd Divisions under Dafilia became the Bavarian occupation force, and the strategic task changed from supporting Marshal Dessau to stabilizing Bavaria and deterring Austria.
Of course, the British troops under Ernst in Dafilia's army also received a new task from the British, that is, to immediately repudiate the Hanover area.
Wilhelm himself personally led the Royal Janissary and the 6th Division towards Brandenburg, while Field Marshal Dessau continued to lead five Prussian divisions on the Bohemian front to keep the alarm on the Austrian side, after all, it was not impossible for the Austrians to repent.
According to William's vision, now that the fighting on the Southern Front had ceased, Prussia could concentrate its forces on Napoleon's French army on the Western Front.
The 4th and 7th Divisions were already on standby in the Brandenburg area, while in the Hanover area there were two divisions of the Holy Roman Empire under Prussian control, in addition to a part of the British army, plus the Ernst Division, which was returning from Bavaria, and the two Prussian divisions that had been deployed in the Main River valley.
The allied army of nearly 80,000 men was a great gift arranged by William for Napoleon, and if you add to this the current flow of troops from the British government to the Netherlands.
Then the total number of troops will even approach 100,000.
Although there was a truce between Austro-Prussia and Austria, Ferdinand Jr.'
s Silesian Front had not been dismantled, except for the Bohemian Front in Dessau.
Although the armies of the four divisions had reached a ceasefire with the Austrians opposite, Ferdinand Jr.'
s troops maintained a considerable degree of vigilance against the Austrian troops under the strict orders of the military headquarters.
To tell the truth, William hoped that Napoleon would stay in the Austrian Netherlands for another month or so, because in just over a month, the Prussian army would be able to complete the assembly and then join the British army, and then the army of up to 80,000 men would storm the Austrian Netherlands with thunder.
Moreover, more than a month was enough time for the Prussian army on all fronts except the Western Front to complete the partial withdrawal.
At that time, in addition to the 80,000 men of the coalition army, there will be up to 50,000 reinforcements behind the coalition army.
It can be said that William was completely prepared to deal with Napoleon with all his strength, after all, facing this Napoleon, who left a great name in history and was even known as the four great conquerors of the European continent.
There is no reason for William to be careless.
In mid-February 1793, Napoleon, who had returned to the Austrian Netherlands, immediately ordered the expansion of the war after learning of the current situation in Prussia, shortly after the signing of the Second Armistice of Prussia.
The reason why we were able to learn the news of the Austro-Prussian armistice in such a short period of time was precisely because Napoleon also had a strong intelligence force under his command.
Over the years, Napoleon has accumulated a lot of financial and material resources in preparation for the Eastern Crusade.
Especially during the looting after the conquest of Paris.
Although Napoleon and the soldiers reached an agreement to divide it in half, Napoleon still got enough money to buy half of France, after all, Paris gathered most of the powerful nobles in France, and the wealth in the hands of these nobles naturally became the spoils of Napoleon's army.
And after getting these trophies, Napoleon took out nearly half of it to build an intelligence force, and through more than half a year's efforts, although this intelligence force has not yet been fully developed, it is not secret or even completely open for some things.
This intelligence agency was also able to reach Napoleon in the shortest possible time.
After receiving the news of the Austro-Prussian armistice, Napoleon knew that his previous policy of occupying the Austro-Netherlands was no longer practical.
Pass by a storm at the Palace of Versailles.
Both Napoleon and Louis XVI understood that it was impossible for the two to reconcile.
Under these circumstances, the two men could only maintain a superficial tacit understanding, Napoleon could not rebel and Louis XVI could not raise an army to fight.
But now, the Prussians would never stand idly by the sight of their own army in the Austrian Netherlands, not to mention that Napoleon had just annihilated the British expeditionary force in the last campaign, and even if Prussia wanted to agree, the British would never agree to an armistice with Napoleon.
According to the intelligence of the spies, during this time, the British constantly transported soldiers by sea to the Netherlands, where they were reorganized, trained, and armed.
And there is news that after the Austro-Prussian armistice, the Prussians are also mobilizing their troops from various theaters of the country to gather on the Western Front, and it seems that they are preparing to cooperate with the British in a big fight.
This situation gave Napoleon a headache, and at the same time, he had to tentatively send someone to the Palace of Versailles to discuss with Louis XVI the possibility of joining forces in the face of great pressure from the British and Prussia.
When looking at Napoleon's fifty-odd page report, it is impossible to say that Louis XVI was not angry "How dare Napoleon!
He actually dared to ask me for reinforcements, how could there be such a shameless person in the world!
” Louis XVI did not look closely at this report by Napoleon, but directly saw Napoleon's request for reinforcements from Napoleon on the last page.
Seeing the anger on Louis XVI's face, the ministers in the palace looked at each other, they did not know what Napoleon's report said, but the news they heard from Louis XVI's mouth was enough for them to expand their rich imagination.
"Your Majesty!
I wonder what Napoleon said in detail?
” A minister reminded Louis XVI, who then ignored Napoleon's report as if he had been reading the last page, so Louis XVI picked it up and looked at it carefully.
Looking at it, the color of Louis XVI's face had turned iron-blue, and when he saw most of it, the whole person staggered and fell into his seat as if he was stunned.
Napoleon's report of more than 50 pages fell to the ground, and seeing Louis XVI's appearance, the ministers knew that it was not good, and one by one became unusually quiet.
"The Austro-Prussian war has been suspended, and at the moment the Prussians and the British are concentrating their forces, and it is believed that before long the British and Prussia will launch a large-scale offensive against us, and according to Napoleon's estimates, the enemy's strength may be as high as more than 150,000 men!"
The words that came out of Louis XVI's mouth made the ministers of the whole palace suddenly look like goose-headed geese, oh my God!
Austro-Prussia actually ceased fighting, and those Austrians who betrayed should go to hell!
At this moment, in the hearts of all the French court ministers, they were angrily cursing the Austrians who had secretly made an armistice with Prussia.

You must know that when France, Spain, and Austria formed an alliance, the three countries agreed that without the consent of the other allies, none of the three countries could privately reach a settlement with any of the two countries, Britain and Prussia.
But now, without consulting France and Spain, Austria has reached an armistice with the Prussians, and to a certain extent, the Austrians have made a complete distrust and a betrayal of France and Spain.
"Your Majesty, how could the Austrians come to an armistice with the Prussians?"
"There was civil strife in Austria, and Alexander, the son of Leopold II and my little nephew, the governor of Hungary, rebelled and conquered Vienna!"
This news was undoubtedly a heavyweight bomb, which directly blew up all the French nobles in the palace one by one.
No one could have imagined that such a change would take place in Austria.
Seeing that the ministers in the palace became overwhelmed one by one, Louis XVI felt a burst of boredom in his heart, and after a while, Louis XVI got up and left the palace quickly, leaving only the panicked ministers in the palace.
After leaving the palace, Louis XVI hurried to Marie's bedchamber.
Louis XVI didn't want to go to Queen Mary's bedchamber, after all, Marie's health was there, and now Louis XVI got obviously bad news, and if this news told Marie, it was hard to imagine how Mary would react.
But the matter was so big that even if Louis XVI didn't tell Marie, Marie would still know, and in that case it would be better for Louis XVI to tell Marie directly.
When they reached Mary's bedchamber, it was clear that Her Royal Highness the Queen of France was still lying in bed, and since Napoleon's escape from Versailles, Queen Mary had been worse mentally and physically, and she was guarded by royal medical officers twenty-four hours a day.
As soon as Louis XVI walked in, Queen Marie, who was taking medicine under the service of a medical officer, immediately saw Louis XVI.
"Your Majesty, why are you here!"
Hearing Mary's figure, Louis XVI hurriedly looked at the bed, only to see Mary pale and pulled out a smile at him, at this moment Louis XVI's heart can be said to be very complicated, he endured it in his heart or decided to tell Mary the truth.
"Mary, I'm going to tell you something now, but don't get excited, it's a big deal!"
Seeing the rare serious expression on Louis XVI's face, Marie's expression was stunned for a moment, and then she only saw Marie's strong and said: "Your Majesty, please speak" "Mary, Austria and Prussia have reached an armistice, and now the Prussians are drawing their forces out to join the British in preparing to march on us in France!"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and Mary was directly dizzy.
"Your Majesty, this .........
Is this true?
” "That's right, now Napoleon has sent a report, and Napoleon has also asked me for a large reinforcement, according to his estimates, the two ** teams of England and Prussia will gather more than 150,000 troops to attack us!"
