Although the drunkard did not know where the swallow was sent or what mission he was on, the drunkard had seen the swallow once, which was also cited by him as a talking point.
Napoleon's intelligence officer then reported the drunkard's story to his superiors, and the head of the Brandenburg intelligence agency thought the information was quite valuable, so it was quickly sent to Brussels.
According to the physical characteristics described on the paper, Napoleon suddenly sent a hair, and the swallow described on the paper is very similar to the Lenbecca next to him, although there is no clear evidence of him at this time.
Therefore, on the one hand, Napoleon began to keep an eye on Rebecca, and on the other hand, he immediately sent a message to the head of the Brandenburg intelligence service, asking him to send the drunkard to Brussels.
On May 10, 1793, the pursuing coalition forces finally reached Brussels, and at the same time, the coalition forces arrived at the city of Brussels to prevent a recurrence of Nicholas's situation.
Under William's orders, the allied forces besieged Brussels only in the west and south directions.
The arrival of 30,000 Spanish troops in Brussels was known not only to Napoleon, but also to the Allied forces shortly after.
Because of Ernst's coma, William deployed Ernst and the British ** team by his side, and put the two imperial divisions under the command of William V, the Dutch ruler, plus all the Dutch army and the 11th and 12th Prussian divisions, the strength of William V also reached nearly 50,000 people.
In order to better cooperate with William V and out of precaution, William appointed Ferdinand the Younger as William V's lieutenant general.
The 50,000-strong army was to strike the Spanish army head-on when it arrived on the outskirts of Brussels.
In this way, the army directly under William was the Prussian Royal Guards and the Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eleventh Prussian Divisions, plus nearly 30,000 British ** troops.
The total strength of the army was 70,000.
After William's order was given, William V of the Netherlands came to William and asked with some puzzlement: "Your Majesty William, why did our 50,000 men attack only when the Spanish reinforcements marched to the outskirts of Brussels, and once the army in Brussels took advantage of our army's offensive against the Spaniards, wouldn't it be quite dangerous to go out of the city and attack our army at the same time?"
Hearing the words of William V, William said with a smile; "Your Highness, I am going to attack the Spanish army not far from Brussels, and if the French in Brussels do not see hope, then how can they go out of the city to rescue the Spaniards!
And all I need is for the enemies in Brussels to get out of the city!
” Seeing that there was still a look of doubt on William V's face.
William went on to explain: "Brussels has a well-developed city defense system, and there are a lot of materials in the city, especially since Brussels is a big city with a considerable number of inhabitants in the city.
If the enemy holds on to this, then our army will have no other way but to fight hard with the French.
But in that case, our army will definitely suffer considerable casualties, and our army seems to be strong.
But under the situation of one or the other, even if our army wins, everyone must not want to see it, in this case, then we might as well lure out the troops in the city, and these Spanish troops are the bait for fishing!
” Hear William explain.
William V's face was a little calm, but at the same time his heart was tight.
You must know that if William is arranged in this way, then the army led by William V is bound to undertake the most important combat mission on the entire battlefield, on the one hand, he must defeat the Spaniards, and on the other hand, he must prevent the French ** team in Brussels from attacking it.
It seems to see the embarrassment of William V.
William added: Of course, you don't have to worry.
After your attack on the Spaniards, I will secretly deploy the forces of two divisions to your rear to relieve your worries!
” Hearing William say this, William V was relieved.
In fact, if it is not for William V's special identity, then in William's opinion, the most suitable for this task is undoubtedly Ferdinand Jr., after all, although William V had led the army to defeat 30,000 French ** team before this, but the 30,000 French ** team was completely drawn from all over the country by Louis XVI, to put it mildly, it is a rabble, if William V led the enemy army twice the strength of the army can not defeat the enemy army, then William will despise this Dutch hereditary consul!
Immediately after William V's departure, William summoned Carlo.
After Durry gained Hans's support, Hans and Durly decided to send Carlo to William's side, despite dismissing Durry's idea of going to the front.
Upon seeing Carlo, William was quite excited, considering that the two childhood friends had not seen each other for a year.
As soon as Carlo entered, William rushed forward and gave him a big hug "My friend, we're finally meeting again, Carlo, you don't even know how much I miss you kid!"
"Your Majesty, the minister misses you too, no, as soon as the task is completed, the minister immediately applies to his superiors to come to your side!"
After letting go of Carlo, William looked at Carlo carefully, only to see that Carlo had a crooked scar on his neck that looked very terrifying, William frowned and asked: "What's going on around your neck?"
"Hehe, Your Majesty, this was wounded by the enemy when he was fighting with people in France, and now he is healed, but he has only left a scar!"
"That's good, that's good.
If anything happens to you, your sister won't tear me to shreds!
” When William finished speaking, both of them burst out laughing.
Carlo was a year older than William William, and twenty-four years old in the same year as Napoleon.
Although the two have not seen each other a few times since William grew up, the friendship formed in childhood still makes the relationship between the two extraordinary, coupled with the ambiguous relationship between William and Du Li, so for Carlo's brother-in-law, William has some guilt in addition to friendship.
"Carlo, I don't think you're in the intelligence department anymore, you might as well be transferred to my side!"
After the two sat down, looking at the mature Carlo, William was very satisfied and sent an invitation to Carlo.
In William's opinion, Hans only has two children, Du Li and Carlo, and Du Li has now secretly followed him, if he can't give Carlo a wealth and wealth, how can he be worthy of the Hans family's kindness to him.
And although Hans mastered the Prussian Ministry of Foreign Intelligence, the Ministry of Intelligence could only go narrower and narrower the higher it went, after all, although the Ministry of Intelligence sometimes could enjoy things that ordinary people could not enjoy, but its danger was huge after all, if Carlo really had something long and two short, he would definitely be sorry for the Hans family.
"Your Majesty, this is not very good" "It's nothing, Carlo, even if your family doesn't agree, I don't agree to let you work in the Ministry of Intelligence this time."

As he spoke, William pondered for a moment and then said: "In this way, you come to the palace, there is still a place in the royal guard, and when this war is over, I will let you go to the royal guard to be a regimental commander!"
William's offer was not unfavourable.
In the words of the Eastern Guard, it was the Son of Heaven's own army, and as William's side, there were naturally more opportunities for treatment and promotion than in other armies.
It was not William's whim to let Carlo into the royal guard, but William had this idea in his heart for a long time.
The royal guard is always in the hands of his henchmen, and Carlo is undoubtedly the person William trusts the most.
Originally, William was going to let Carlo succeed Hans as the head of the intelligence department, after all, the big stall of the intelligence department also needs loyal and reliable people to control.
But today, the huge wound on Carlo's neck made William think differently, although the royal guards need to go to the battlefield to fight, but after all, they are safer than the spies of the Ministry of Intelligence.
What's more, William really felt too lonely.
He was surrounded by a group of generals who were much older than him, and even those staff officers were rarely the same age as William, in this case, William hoped that he could have a young man of about the same age as himself by his side, so that he could say some words in his heart without holding it in his heart, and Carlo was undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.
"If Your Majesty asks for it, then the minister has no opinion!"
In fact, the reason why Du Li and Hans asked Carlo to come to William's side was precisely in the hope that William would keep Carlo by his side.
Du Li had already made up her mind to deal with Anna, and Hans was naturally firmly on his daughter's side.
As a result, although the Hans and Locks families had a strong presence in the Prussian government and intelligence agencies, they had no one by Wilhelm's side.
There is no doubt that Horn next to William is a neutral, after all, Buel chose his heir from the background, and the position of the head of the royal family is too important, this position can only be filled by those who are loyal to the king, and must not be given to those with some powerful factional backgrounds.
For the royal palace, neither Hans nor Locks has their own influence, after all, the palace has Queen Louise in charge, and even if they try their best, they may not be able to arrange their own personnel to important positions in the palace.
And now, because of his relationship with William, it is entirely possible that Carlo will be rooted in the Prussian royal palace, and in this way, it will undoubtedly be a huge killer weapon when Du Li launches against Anna.
This is also why Hans agreed to Du Li's plan, after all, the family is both prosperous and loss, and now that Du Li has made up her mind, then the family is bound to fully support it, and as Du Li's brother and the heir of the family, Carlo is duty-bound!
