And after Yarman received the order and left the tent, Ferdinand Jr. looked at the rest of the generals in the tent and said: "Now that General Yarman has asked for orders to go and destroy that French army, then the main action is up to us!
Regarding the fighters of the next stage, I still want to hear the opinions of the big guys!
” As soon as Ferdinand the Younger had finished speaking, the Duke of York went on to say: "Needless to say, Your Excellency, Commander!
In my opinion, after conquering Beauville, our army naturally moved south to directly conquer the heart of France - Paris!
” Seeing the Duke of York speak first, little Ferdinand's brows furrowed slightly, and the displeased expression on his face was naturally clearly seen by the generals in the military tent.
"Duke of York, you must know that after the 14th Division under General Yarman's headquarters is divided, our strength is only more than 40,000 people, and Paris, as a fortified city, is obviously very difficult to conquer by relying only on our 40,000 troops, in this case, our eyes should not only be fixed on Paris!"
As Ferdinand the Younger said, the coalition forces were left with just over 40,000 troops, excluding the army led by Yarman to destroy the French Odd Soldiers.
No matter how bad the French are, they still have tens of thousands of troops in Paris, and what makes little Ferdinand feel jealous is that according to intelligence, the 40,000 troops that the French government previously asked Spain are on the way to Paris quickly, which means that if the coalition forces only focus on Paris and launch a fierce pursuit, then there will only be two results, one is that Paris will be conquered within half a month under the fierce offensive of the coalition forces.
One result was that Paris held out for half a month under the onslaught of the coalition forces, and then after the arrival of Spanish reinforcements, it was calculated.
For Ferdinand Jr., there seemed to be no other way to attack Paris directly than to lose his troops.
After all, no matter how inferior the Bourbon royal family is, there are still some family backgrounds, and according to intelligence, there are tens of thousands of soldiers who have been urgently armed in the city of Paris, although these soldiers are poorly equipped and have low morale, but they are absolutely enough to defend the city.
It is precisely with this kind of thinking that Ferdinand Jr. will not be willing to go south to Paris directly after conquering Beauville.
"The Duke of York's words do have some truth, but I don't agree with them either!
You must know that Napoleon, our former worst enemy, is now entrenched in Compiègne, and we will not destroy this lowly fellow.
What do we use to comfort the heroic souls of tens of thousands of soldiers of the British Empire's expeditionary force!
” The person who spoke was what everyone didn't expect, this person was Russell, the British ** official under the Duke of York.
This Russell previously held the position of staff officer to Ralph, the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, and this Russell and Ralph are even more related.
Originally, because the expeditionary force led by Ralph was completely annihilated by Napoleon, Ralph's family power was counter-attacked by the British government, but as an officer who defended Antwerp with John Moore, Russell still received a certain amount of commendation, of course, this was just to calm the morale of the army and the people.
It would have been Russell's turn to speak at a time like this.
You must know that the military tent at this moment can be described as a bright star, not only the Prussian generals are all in the list, but even all the generals of the British ** team are all in the military tent, and Russell, as a small lieutenant colonel, can come to participate in such a high-level military meeting to give him face, but now who would have thought that this little lieutenant colonel would dare to question the words of the Duke of York!
Russell was seen talking.
Little Ferdinand was overjoyed, you must know that if the British ** team is all monolithic, then even if Little Ferdinand is unwilling, he will have to make concessions in some aspects to achieve the goal in his heart, but now there are different voices within the British.
This was easy, and Ferdinand could give orders directly as the commander of the coalition forces.
And the Duke of York, who was sitting next to little Ferdinand, not only did not have the same joy in his heart as little Ferdinand at this time.
Even for Russell, he couldn't wait to drag this guy down and beat dozens of military sticks fiercely.
You must know that Russell's words completely pushed the Duke of York into a corner.
Russell took it as a matter of righteousness to comfort the soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force, even if the Duke of York was unwilling and unable to refute Russell on the surface, after all, the total annihilation of the British Expeditionary Force has always been regarded as a great shame for the British, if the Duke of York was opposed to avenging the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force at this time, then it is obvious that his reputation in Britain will be completely cleared, and it is not impossible to even become a national scold.
"Well, what His Excellency Russell said makes sense, as allies of the British, we Prussians will never allow that criminal who has the blood of tens of thousands of British soldiers on his hands to continue to live in this world!"
Little Ferdinand swished to his feet and spoke impassionedly, and his words made the Duke of York want to vomit blood.
If even the Prussians wanted to avenge the British Expeditionary Force, and he, the British commander-in-chief, objected, then there was no doubt that the Duke of York would be the point of being the finger of the man.
This was completely unacceptable to the ambitious Duke of York.
You must know that the Duke of York's status in the British royal family is second only to the British Crown Prince George IV, and even the Duke of York will have great hopes of ascending to the throne of the British king.
Although Augustus, the Duke of York, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the British Empire, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no heirs so far, and more importantly, the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife Caroline is quite bad, and even once made trouble to the point that the two had to sleep in separate rooms.
This is certainly a great misfortune for the British royal family, but it is a rare opportunity for the Duke of York, who is currently second in line to the British throne.
And after Ferdinand Jr. finished speaking, most of the generals in the military tent spoke up in support of Ferdinand Jr.'
s plan, and only the Duke of York was bitterly tangled on the side.
But no matter how reluctant the Duke of York was.
After obtaining the consent of most of the generals, Ferdinand Jr., in his capacity as commander of the coalition forces, gave the order: "Since everyone has agreed to avenge the death of the British Expeditionary Force who died in battle.
Then as the commander of the coalition forces, I must listen to everyone's call!
Immediately after conquering Beauville, our army marched east to Compiègne, and must annihilate that odious Napoleon in the forests of Compiègne!
” ..........................
Just when little Ferdinand showed his sword to Napoleon in France, William in Cologne was finally able to walk around the ground, and Princess Vivien of Cologne has been guarding William's side these days, which also made William begin to complain about William in Cologne.
And although William recovered well, the Prussians never gave up chasing those behind William's assassination, after more than a week of tracking clues.
Horn finally set his sights on the army of the Count of Schwarzburg outside Cologne.
After comparison, the weapons used by William's assassin were very similar to those used by the Schwarzburg army, and more importantly, the position of the number deliberately scratched on the chamber of the gun was exactly the same as the number on the weapons of the Schwarzburgers.

Moreover, according to Hornder's secret visit, when the Schwarzburg army drove outside Cologne, someone saw the Earl's attendants of the Schwarzburg army in the army and took away a few people, but these people never returned to the Schwarzburg army's garrison outside Cologne.
Synthesize these clues.
Horne eventually set his sights on the young earl of Schwarzburg.
If the Count of Schwarzburg wanted to assassinate William, then the motive is quite obvious, and Horn did not know some time ago, but then Horn learned from a powerful person in Cologne that the Count of Schwarzburg was infatuated with Princess Vivian.
And Horn believes that it is precisely because of this infatuation that the Earl of Schwarzburg will not hesitate to attack William.
Hound had wanted to arrest Count Schwarzburg immediately in Cologne.
But Horn's action was dissuaded by Carlo.
It is important to know that Cologne is not Brandenburg, and the Prussian power cannot do whatever it wants in this city, after all, the city is nominally the residence of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian.
However, the impossibility of an immediate arrest did not mean that the Prussians would abandon their action against the Earl of Schwarzburg, and Hond had already made up his mind to wait until Wilhelm's health was almost better.
Immediately ask William for orders to take action against the Earl of Schwarzburg.
And for this purpose, the Prussian soldiers also increased their strength in the city of Cologne.
"Your Highness, Earl.
Although the Prussians in the city now seem to be more relaxed than some time ago, from the perspective of the next generation, these Prussians are completely playing the game of loosening on the outside and tightening on the inside, and the eyeliner that is being monitored near our station has been increasing recently, and I suspect that we have been exposed!
” At this moment, in the residence of the Count of Schwarzburg, Palaud was standing in front of Fred, and said with a solemn face.
And hearing Palaude's words, Fei Lide's face also changed suddenly "How do you think that the Prussians have set their sights on us?"
"Your Highness, during this time we have seen a number of unknown people near our military garrison outside the city, and according to our personnel, most of these people are Prussians.
In addition, the number of strangers with suspicious whereabouts in the vicinity of our station has increased significantly in recent times, which does not bode well!
” Hearing Palaud's analysis, the earl's expression suddenly became a little cold.
"I didn't expect those Prussians to be able to find us so quickly, it seems that there is still a big flaw in our actions!"
But before the earl could finish his sigh, Palaud immediately looked a little anxious and said: "Your Highness, Cologne is now very dangerous to us, so I ask you to leave for Schwarzburg immediately!"
Hearing Palaud's words, Fred's face stabilized, and even a smile appeared on his face: "Palaud, since you have said that the Prussians have begun to doubt us, then at such a time, we naturally cannot leave Cologne!
As soon as we leave Cologne, will we not tell the Prussians for no reason that we are the murderers of the Prussian king?
This kind of thing is stupid!
” Hearing Fered say this, Palaud felt a little confused.
He asked a little cautiously: "So what do you mean?"
"Haha, Palaud.
We don't have to go anywhere, and even tomorrow I am going to visit His Majesty the King of Prussia, and sometimes our opponents are only suspicious of us, but if we panic and reveal our loopholes, won't we be even more convinced that we are the murderers?
Moreover, even though we in Schwarzburg are considered a small and powerful vassal state in the Rhine Valley, our strength is clearly no match for the Prussians compared to such a behemoth as Prussia.
At this time, we should let the enemy be more confused by us, instead of us actively jumping out and looking for our own death, do you understand?
” As he spoke, Freed asked Palaud.
And hearing Fered say this, Palaud also had to secretly give a thumbs up to his young master, after all, although the earl is not very old, he still has a good grasp of people's hearts.
While the Earl of Schwarzburg was plotting with his courtiers, William was strolling around the palace garden with Princess Vivien's support.
Walking and walking.
William's face suddenly laughed, and at this time, Vivian, who was supporting William, showed a puzzled expression on her face, and seeing Vivian's expression, William immediately smiled and explained: "Vivien, I was just thinking, isn't this the same way I did when you were walking in the garden the other day when you were supported by the maid!
Apparently you played the role of a maid perfectly!
” Hear the teasing from William's mouth.
Vivien rolled her eyes at William and then said with a little gambling: "It seems that who really wants to help you, if you hadn't asked me to take you for a walk in the garden, I wouldn't be with you!"
Looking at Vivien beside him, the smile on William's face widened.
After Vivien's health improved, William suddenly found that the cute little princess next to him suddenly had a tsundere surprise attack.
And for William, this aura has become a shining point in Vivien's body that attracts him.
Noticing William's slightly hot gaze at her, Vivien's head lowered shyly "Look no further.
Take your steps well, and if you do this again, then you will walk back by yourself, and I will not hold you!
” Although he said this, Vivian's arm on William's shoulder did not mean to leave for half a minute.
If William has gained anything from such a day, then there is no doubt that Vivian is one of the gains, this princess has changed the shyness of getting along with William before, and when she is with William, she plays the role of hostess everywhere.
While this makes William happy and happy, it is not good news for Horn and Carlo.

In Hornd's view, there was no difference between Vivien and Anna, both daughters were noble daughters of the Habsburgs, in other words, both women were the children of Prussian enemies, which Hornd did not want this woman to stay with William to charm the king.
For Carlo, Vivien was more than just a Habsburg noblewoman.
You must know that compared with Anna, Vivien is undoubtedly more favored by William, just from the relationship and performance these days, it can be seen that William has completely two attitudes towards Anna and towards Vivian, and it is William's attitude that makes Carlo feel the crisis.
Carlo's sister Du Li is William's mistress, and Du Li has formed an alliance with Karina, and the two daughters agreed to use their family's background and power to oust Anna from the throne, which Carlo is also very clear about.
But if according to William's current attitude towards Vivien, then even if Anna is ousted from the throne of the queen, there is still one person standing in the way of Du Li or the current Hans family, and that is the current Princess Vivien.
William is obviously emotionally emotional for Vivian, and in this case, who can guarantee that William loves Vivian more than Dourie or Karina, if the wolf is driven away at the front door and a tiger comes at the back door, then why bother to drive away the wolf at the front door.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry, my princess, if you are angry, then the whole world will lose your smile, because you are the most beautiful thing God has given to the world!"
While the two were alone, William immediately slapped Vivien's ass as if he didn't want money.
At this moment, Vivien's performance is very different from before.
You know, in the past, if William had laughed at Vivien.
Then Vivian either blushed and bowed her head or turned around shyly, but these days of getting along have undoubtedly made Vivian have a great immunity to William's teasing, at least after William's words were finished, Vivian's face did not change.
"Alright, stop talking about it, you!
You're the king of Prussia, look at what you look like now.
Where is the appearance of a king again!
” Hearing Vivien's words, William was unimpressed "Oh, what, don't I look like a king now?"
"Yes, look at the ruler who is in power, who is like you, who has not been in shape all day.
I know that the girl is happy, how many times have I said this in front of others!
” As she spoke, Vivien's expression darkened significantly.
For Vivien, no matter how she feels about William now, William and her identity are destined to not have a happy ending like the prince and princess in the animated story.
William was not only the monarch of Prussia, but he was also Anna's husband.
And Anna is Vivian's cousin, and in this case, it is obviously impossible for Vivian to calmly face her relationship with William or even be William's mistress.
For Vivien, William was certainly the first man she had walked into her heart in nearly two decades, but this man was her cousin-in-law.
This means that if something really happens between the two, it is bound to cause an uproar in the entire European upper class.
Absurd aristocrats are not for nothing.
There are even rulers who have fornicated with their own sisters, but these rulers have all become the objects of ridicule by the upper class without exception, and Vivien does not want herself and William to be the next pair to be teased by others.
Looking at Vivian, who was suddenly silent next to him, William's heart was also shocked, and he didn't know what Vivian was thinking, but it was impossible for him to calmly say to Vivian that he would ask her to be his mistress or swear to Vivian that he would marry Vivian and become his queen.
Anna is already the queen of Prussia, and Anna also gave birth to a Prussian heir for him, and William has not seen his child until now, but this does not prevent William from having the concept of home in his heart, he is no longer a person, he is already a husband and a father!
Although William's feelings for Anna are extremely thin, Anna is his nominal wife after all.
In this case, William undoubtedly has more to think about.
Both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere in the middle naturally became a little awkward.
As if she was very sorry for this embarrassment caused by herself, Vivien finally spoke: "Okay, let's not talk about other things, your top priority now is to take care of your body, everything else is secondary, as long as you can have me in your heart, I will be very moved!"
William's empathetic words suddenly moved William, and he hugged Vivien and said: "Give me a little more time, and I will definitely give you an explanation, and under the witness of God, you will definitely become the happiest bride in the whole world!"
In fact, when he said this, William himself did not believe it, because he knew that it would be impossible for him to marry Vivien, unless Anna made an unforgivable mistake or died, but from the current point of view, it is obvious that Anna has not met these two reasons for being deposed.
And just when William hugged Vivian, Vivian also turned around and hugged William, and the warmth at this moment was very important to Vivian, because she didn't know whether she and William were right or wrong.
When you meet the right person at the right time, it is a kind of happiness; It is a kind of sadness to meet the wrong person at the right time; Meeting the right person at the wrong time is a sigh; At the wrong time, meeting the wrong person is a kind of helplessness.
And now Vivien and William, aren't they like meeting the right person at the wrong time?
