Chapter 707: How to Deal with the Aftermath


After the words of Brenodus, the palace instantly became silent, although George III felt very dissatisfied with Brenolds's request, but after all, this matter involved Charlotte, and it was reasonable for the Prussians to ask to participate in the investigation.

It's just that in George III's view, this matter is an internal affair of the British anyway, even if Charlotte is a Prussian princess, but the Prussians have no right to participate in the British investigation.

George III gestured to Pitt Jr., and then the British prime minister said to Brenauds: "Your Excellency, please rest assured that we will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, but please forgive me for not agreeing to your request, this matter will be thoroughly investigated by the British government!"

As soon as Pete Jr. finished speaking, Blenodus said: "Your Majesty the King, His Royal Highness the Duke of York, Honorable Prime Minister Pitt, according to the clues provided by witnesses at the scene, the origin of the fire is that a small group of gangsters forcibly broke into Princess Charlotte's residence to set it on fire, and at the same time killed two Prussian guards and seriously injured four Prussian guards.

When it comes to Prussian casualties, Pete Jr. is also speechless, and Brinodes is right, according to European practice, if there are casualties among foreigners, then the country to which the person belongs does have the right to participate in the investigation of the incident.

Seeing this, George III understood the determination of the Prussians, so after a little thought, although he did not want to, George III agreed to involve the Prussians in the investigation of the incident.

The energy of the mobilized British government was enormous, and in just ten hours after the fire was extinguished, at noon the next day, significant progress had been made.

The dozen or so thugs involved in the arson have all been apprehended, while the other Duke of York's guards have not yet been apprehended, despite their fears of repercussions.

But there is no doubt that the culprit behind this case has been pointed at the Duke of York himself.

After learning of this situation, the British government was shocked, no one thought that the Duke of York would have the courage to send someone to attack Charlotte's residence, even though Charlotte and he had separated from each other, but no matter what.

Before the two divorced, Charlotte was his wife.

After learning the truth of the case, the Prussian embassy once again protested to the British government, and at the same time, the Prussian ambassador Brenodus immediately went to the British palace to discuss the divorce between the Duke of York and Princess Charlotte.

In this matter, the opinions of the Duke of York and Princess Charlotte were ignored, and in fact the matter had become the battlefield of the former struggle between Prussia and England.

Faced with the truth of the facts, the British high-level, including George III, was speechless.

Although the Duke of York immediately ran to George III to cry out after learning that things were going against him, it was the people of the Duke of York's official residence who did it, and if there was no signal from the Duke of York, then it would be impossible in the eyes of normal people anyway.

Enraged, George III immediately sent the Duke of York under house arrest in his residence, and all the Duke of York's guards were invited to tea at Scotland Yard, as for the Duke of York's mistress, because she had been pregnant for several months.

So for the time being, he was only under house arrest.

Fortunately, later that day, Princess Charlotte also woke up from a coma, and when she got the news of Charlotte's awakening, Brinnolds also left the little fart he was talking to him for the first time and rushed to visit Charlotte.

Facing Brenodus, who left without saying a word, although little Pete was dissatisfied with his rudeness, he couldn't show any temper at the moment, after all, this matter was simply terrible for the British side.

After the departure of Brenodez.

Little Pete was also the first to send someone through the emergency channel to send documents about the whole matter to Fox in Brandenburg.

And what Fox saw now was this document sent by little Pete.

"It's ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Fawkes didn't expect that just when he was about to go to the Prussians to judge the reasoning, this kind of thing happened to his rear, which made him how to deal with himself next!

Although the Prussians have not yet sent someone to hold the British accountable, it is clear that this matter will not drag on for a few days, and the Prussians will definitely know the truth of this matter.

Think of the series of consequences that come from this.

Brenodus felt a flurry of headaches.

Fawkes got the news earlier than the Prussian government, after all, it happened in England, and the British were in a unique position, and Prussia even wanted to poke the matter to Brandenburg.

Naturally, the speed could not catch up with the British.

Moreover, Brennolds did not send someone to report to Brandenburg at the first time of the incident, after all, Charlotte was still in a coma at the time, so Brennolds was prepared to wait until the matter was clear before reporting to Brandenburg. .........................................

On the night that Fox received news from London, the British ambassador still went to visit Locks, but unlike the previous swagger, Fox's expression changed greatly.

After coming to Fawkes's mansion, Fawkes's posture was very low, no longer the same domineering appearance as before, and even Fawkes's attendants had a hint of a smile.

And Fawkes's posture also made these squires of Locks feel a little confused, they couldn't imagine that in less than a day, Fawkes's eyes were all looking at the sky yesterday, and he didn't even bother to glance at them, how could he smile with himself today.

However, although they were a little confused, these attendants immediately informed Locks of Fawkes's invitation.

Locks met Fawkes in the main drawing room of his residence, and as Fawkes had just entered the door, His Excellency the British Ambassador laughed out loud and unexpectedly: "Your Excellency Locks, I'm a little embarrassed to come and bother me so late, but I'm sure that Your Excellency the Prime Minister, who has a big heart, won't blame me for such a trivial matter!"

"Where, where, Your Excellency the Ambassador is a friend of Prussia, and it is too late for me to welcome it.

Please be seated!

” Although Locks is also confused about Fox's attitude in his heart, as a politician, the long-cultivated bearing still allows Locks to face all this calmly.

After Fawkes was seated, Locks had tea and coffee served, but Fawkes wasn't here for tea, so after waiting until the two of them were the only ones left in the room, Fawkes said with a smile on his face: "I'm here for a matter of advice.

As my senior, you must not hide your clumsiness."

"Oh, I wonder what happened to Your Excellency the Ambassador?"

After Locks finished speaking, Fawkes looked a little embarrassed, but he still said: "I would like to ask if your country is ready to tear up the alliance agreement with my country?"

Hearing Fawkes mention this, Locks was shocked.

But then he said: "Your Excellency Fox, I don't know where you heard the gossip, but don't worry, the alliance between your and us is fundamentally guaranteed, and the reinforcements of your and us are still fighting together in France!

I can say to Your Excellency here that our country has no intention of betraying the alliance agreement with your country!

” Locks said, with a determined expression on his face.

Although Fox knew the truth in the words of people like Locks, he simply couldn't believe it.

But his heart was still wide, and he saw a smile on Fawkes' face and said: "I'm relieved to hear Your Excellency say that, some of the gossip now is killing people!

Hehe!

” As he spoke, Fawkes let out a hearty laugh.

But this laughter was a little meaningful to Locks's ears, and with the expression on Fox's face at the moment, Locks had a hint of speculation in his heart.

After laughing a few times, Fox, who felt a little embarrassed, stopped, and then His Excellency the ambassador also said: "I wonder what your country thinks of the Duke and Duchess of York?"

Fox shifted to the Duke and Duchess of York.

Locks immediately said: "Originally, our country was very welcoming to the marriage between the two countries, and it is because of this that Princess Charlotte was married to the Duke of York, but apparently Princess Charlotte did not get the treatment that matched her status after marriage, and our country agreed that the Duke of York in your country bears great responsibility!"

At the mention of Charlotte, Locks's tone immediately became tougher, which was also related to William's previous attitude.

After all, the whole Prussian government knew about it.

William was quite dissatisfied with the treatment of his sister Charlotte in Britain, and even made the government lodge a solemn protest to Britain for this reason, from this point of view, Locks's attitude was naturally consistent with William's.

Hear Locks say that.

Fox was secretly bitter in his heart.

But the current situation forced him to bite the bullet and say: "Since Princess Charlotte has married into our royal family, she is naturally a member of our royal family, has your country's hand stretched a little long?"

But what Fox didn't know was that his words angered Locks "Your Excellency, I would like to ask you to remember that every member of our royal family is supported by all the people of Prussia, and even if Princess Charlotte marries into your royal family, she is still the sister of His Majesty the King of our country, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Prussia!"

Hearing Locks say this, Fox was actually secretly cursing in his heart, of course, it was not Fox he was cursing, but the guys in London.

"He's M, either don't do anything, don't leave any evidence if you want to do it, it's good now, you guys don't care in London, but Lao Tzu, the representative in Brandenburg, is going to become a public enemy!"

Fawkes, who was a little cranky in his heart, didn't notice that Locks's mouth was no longer sounding, and after saying something, Locks noticed the changing expression on Fox's face, but he had some bad premonitions in his heart.

"Your Excellency Fox, let's get down to business, you're not such a modest person, there must be something going on today, let's open the skylight and say something!"

Locks deliberately let out a loud shout, and Locks's loud voice naturally let Fawkes out of his inner reverie.

"This, Lord Locks.

There was nothing to do today, but I received a document from London, and as a deep ally, I think it would be better to talk to your Excellency the Prime Minister first. ” "Well, let's talk about it" "Today, a gang of gangsters attacked the residence of the Duchess of Charlotte, and of course the Duchess was not harmed in any way.

However, several Prussian guards protecting the Duchess were killed and wounded" As soon as Fox's words landed, it felt like an eight-magnitude earthquake had caused in Locks's mind.

"What's going on, gang of gangsters!

Your Excellency Fox, there will be a gang of gangsters in London, and they have also attacked Princess Charlotte's residence in a grand manner, I would like to ask what your country is doing?

” Locks' words were full of anger, and this did not surprise Fox.

After all, any Prussian would be furious when he heard such news.

"This, there are some accidents, but my country has found out the truth of the matter, and for these gangsters, my country will definitely investigate and deal with them to give your country an explanation."

'Well, Lord Fawkes, you need to say more of that.

I will report this matter to my Majesty the King at once, and I am not in a position to say anything here, until the cause and effect of the matter have been sent to Brandenburg, and then we shall discuss the matter!

” With that, Locks stood up and put on a gesture of sending off guests, and seeing Locks' performance, Fox was suddenly depressed to death.

"Wait a minute, Lord Locks.

I think it would be better for us to take a calm look at this matter, and on behalf of the British Government, I do not want our alliance to be affected by this incident...................

"Sending off!"

Fox was still chattering, but at this time, Locks was not in the mood to continue listening to the ambassador.

In the end, Fawkes reluctantly left Locks' mansion, and Locks did not immediately go to the Brandenburg Palace, after all, Fox's words were not complete.

And this matter is not big or small, it is better to wait for someone from London to send someone to deliver the news. ......................................

Napoleon commanded the French army to launch a constant assault on the Prussian army's front, but Ferdinand the younger was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Prussian army only needed to stop the French army.

Therefore, under the command of Ferdinand the Younger, the French army was not able to break through the Prussian line for a while.

But while Napoleon and Ferdinand the Younger were constantly fighting, Prince Condé's Fourth Army was overwhelmed.

Yarman mobilized a heavy army to attack the Prince of Condé and the command center of the Fourth Army, and although the Fourth Army had a large number of troops in front and behind, because of the Prussian ambush, the Fourth Army, which was divided into three sections, could not be taken care of for a while.

And just as Yarman and Prince Condé were engaged in a fierce battle, Rumorin's footsteps were on the French camp.

"Your Excellency General, the trapped French have been completely annihilated by us, and there are some defeated troops that have been routed by our army and fled to the west, Duke Andrew asks whether to pursue them!"

"Very good, the herald ordered Duke Andrew not to pursue, all the surrendered French soldiers were concentrated in the open space outside the camp and handed over to the Imperial First Division for care, and those wounded soldiers also asked the Imperial First Division to take care of them, let Duke Andrew immediately lead the LinkedIn ** team to meet our army, and then go to Trapp!"

Rumorin thought for a while and then issued a military order, but after his military order was issued, the coalition forces did not care about cleaning up the battlefield, except for leaving the first division of the empire to guard the French prisoners of war and captured supplies, the rest of the coalition forces repacked their bags and turned towards Trapp under Rumorein's order.

In this battle, although it was a surprise attack, but the Fourth Army was not dry, so the coalition forces also suffered some losses, fortunately, these losses were not very large, in addition to the more than 1,000 casualties of the 3,000 French troops who strengthened the final assault, the attack on the French camp, the coalition army suffered a total of more than 4,000 casualties, of which 1,800 were killed.

It was already full of light, and by the time Rumorim led his army toward Trapp, it was already past seven o'clock in the morning.

From 3 o'clock in the morning to 7 o'clock in the morning, the battle of the raid on the French camp lasted for a total of four hours, although the time dragged on for a long time, but fortunately, the coalition forces still captured the French camp according to the original plan.

"General, the enemy's cavalry department has returned to help, and our brothers can't resist it!"

An officer, the commander of the Prussian unit responsible for stopping the cavalry of the Fourth Army, hurried to Yarman's side.

"Bastard, who asked you to come over, go back to your army to command the battle, tell you, the army I have now is all used to attack the enemy's middle army, there is not a single reserve soldier, you must block that cavalry for me, otherwise no one can afford the responsibility for the rout of the whole army!"

Although the situation on the scene was favorable to Prussia, don't forget that the French cavalry that served as the vanguard of Prince Condé had 3,000 men, and although Yarman had also made some arrangements for this cavalry, who would have expected that this French cavalry would be surprisingly tenacious.

Although the Prussian army attacked the cavalry as they began to swim across the river, the cavalry did not panic after being attacked, but began to turn around against the sudden ambush with the ammunition of the Prussian army on the riverbank.

And those cavalrymen who had already crossed the river also began to turn around and cross the river again on the orders of the officers.

Under these circumstances, the 3,000 French cavalry returned to the river bank at a cost of less than 600 casualties.

As soon as the 2,400 cavalry came ashore, they launched a fierce attack on these Prussian troops who were blocking them, which directly led to the 56th Infantry Regiment of the 14th Prussian Division, which was responsible for sniping them, to pay a great price.
