Since last evening, in the royal palace in Paris, Louis XVI has been sitting in his study waiting for the outcome of the battle.
And when a herald hurried to the palace to hand over the battle report to Louis XVI, the French emperor did not know whether to cry or laugh.
For Louis XVI, the battle as a whole was lost by France, which lost the Fourth Army, and from now on, Paris could only count on the remaining army of more than 30,000 men.
Napoleon, although victorious in the battle, had to compromise with the arrival of enemy reinforcements, which Louis XVI did not seem to have caused his majesty to displeasure.
For Louis XVI, Napoleon did a very good job, after all, not everyone could achieve the same results in the battle against the coalition forces, and the Prince of Condé was an example.
But after seeing Napoleon mention that the enemy's reinforcements were not far from Paris, Louis XVI lamented again in his heart, this time for his country and his dynasty.
Although Louis XVI once wanted to defend Paris and defend the last glory of the Bourbon dynasty with all his enthusiasm, after reading Napoleon's war report, his heart also changed.
The war had reached such a point that it was useless to continue to trap Paris, and the news from Spain that the Spaniards had sent a mission to negotiate peace with the enemy, in this case, the original Three Kings Alliance, now only the French family is still holding on.
"Forget it.
When Napoleon returns, he will send people to try to negotiate peace with the coalition forces!
” Louis XVI shook his head, and the decision to make peace was in his mind. .....................................................
Looking at Rumyantsev lying on the hospital bed, Brankoff's heart was a little complicated.
It was this old man who almost single-handedly changed the tide of the war, and the situation was originally very good after he captured Moscow, but it was this Rumyantsev who led the counterinsurgency army to make it impossible for his army to develop on a large scale as previously envisaged.
Under the surprise attack of the rebels led by Blankov himself, in the end, the general trusted by Rumyantsev was still unable to hold the city, and even Rumyantsev, who was still unconscious in his hospital bed, became a prisoner of war in Blankov's hands.
"Don't let the doctors leave, and all the people who took care of Rumyantsev will leave me behind.
At the same time, convey my order that all the conditions for the healing of Marshal Rumyantsev will be met!
” When leaving the room.
Brankoff said to his attendant.
Now that the base camp of the counterinsurgency army is in Brankoff's hands, which means that those who do not know that the base camp has been taken has been cut off, Brankoff decides to send an emissary to see if he can persuade the counterinsurgents to surrender. ..................................................
Inside the city of Brandenburg.
William looked at the papers on his desk that had been handed over by someone from Dessau.
His forehead wrinkled slightly.
To be honest, Wilhelm was actually reluctant to intervene in the war in Austria.
The civil war in Austria was now a struggle between the brothers Alexander and Karl for family dominance and Austrian dominance, and Alexander, although he had the name of Austrian regent, was undoubtedly at a disadvantage for the time being.
But Wilhelm did not expect that Alexander would actually ask Prussia to intervene in mediation, although it was not a big benefit for Prussia to intervene in the Austrian Civil War, but after all, it would be more beneficial than disadvantageous for Prussia to continue the chaos in Austria.
There is no doubt about that.
William's frown was Alexander's offer that he would be the first to ask William to be enthroned as Holy Roman Emperor.
Thinking of the position of Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, William naturally thought of Maximilian.
And when he thinks of Maximilian, Vivien in Cologne naturally became a thorn in William's heart.
William liked Vivian, even after falling out with Maximilian, because of Vivian, William didn't attack Maximilian.
But now, it is obvious that Vivien has changed her previous attitude towards William because of Maximilian, and even the gifts sent by William have been thrown out by Vivian.
But William is an ambitious person after all, if he will be bound by the love of his children, then he will not live up to the great and righteous group of the crossing people.
Therefore, William planned to go to Cologne to give Maximilian the throne as soon as the war in France was settled.
And just when William had a plan in mind, Anna came to the door.
"Wilhelm, what's the matter, why did I hear that there was a civil war in Austria, and Alexander and Karl met each other?"
Because William's can be hidden, Anna has not heard the rumors in Austria until now, and the reason why Anna is not allowed to know is that William is naturally to avoid trouble.
After the appointment of Eric as the crown prince of Prussia, Anna's mother was more precious than her son, at least the Prussian people no longer dared to have any contempt for this royal highness.
It is precisely for this reason that even though William gave a strict order, as time passed, Anna still heard the wind.
After hearing Anna's words, William said: "Well, I just received news that Alexander and Karl are at war in Austria, and now Alexander has sent someone to ask us to intervene in mediation!"
Originally, Anna hurriedly came over to Xingshi to ask for guilt after learning the news, after all, William could hide this matter from herself, which made Anna feel a little unacceptable.
The relationship between William and Anna has never been anything like glue, which is very common in all political marriages.
Of course, there are some political marriages that are exceptions.
But this exception is basically a maximum of one pair out of ten pairs.
And when Anna heard that William was so calm, Anna was suddenly a little speechless.
For Alexander and Karl, Anna is actually unbiased in her heart.

For Anna, Alexander and Carl are both her brothers, and both sides are her relatives.
"Did you say yes?"
"Dessau has sent someone to mediate, and I think Alexander and Karl should stop the war soon!"
When she heard that Dessau had sent someone to mediate, Anna's heart was also very complicated.
Anna was a wise woman, and a wise woman knew what Prussia's intervention meant for Austria.
Now that Alexander and Karl have met each other, it is needless to say that the reason why they started the war is naturally needless to say.
And the purpose of the war is obvious even to idiots.
Under these circumstances, Prussia sent someone to intervene, which was not good news for Austria.
Anna didn't want to see her two brothers fight to the death.
But she also did not want to see the whole of Austria suffer another catastrophe because of the protracted war.
It was this complex psychology that directly caused Anna to sit on the sofa in Le'er William's room and be speechless.
Looking at the sad look on Anna's face, William also sighed in his heart.
If you think about it, if it weren't for the friction caused by the personalities of the two.
Anna is actually a nice woman.
She is smart, cheerful, and timid, and if she is married to a man who likes to spoil this character, then their life will be very happy.
However, due to some accidents between Anna and William, the current situation between the two has been caused.
After giving birth to Eric, William went to Anna's bed more often, but most of them were to see his son.
As a person with a strong personality, William likes a submissive woman who can behave in front of him, rather than a woman like Anna who shows her tough side even in front of her husband.
After all, William himself is a very tough man.
And unlike Anna, whether it's Du Li or Karina.
No matter what they look like on the outside, they are absolutely obedient in front of William, and it is precisely because of this that they can be favored by William.
Some people may think that it is all William's fault, after all, as a husband, can't William let his wife do something?
What are you kidding, Wilhelm is the king of Prussia, and the things he needs to deal with every day are piled up, although with the help of cabinet officials, but these officials can't call the shots after all, and it can only be Wilhelm who calls the shots in Prussia.
In addition, although William is not diligent, for the ambition in his heart, although he can't say that he has to do everything, he is definitely doing his best.
In this way, when facing his own woman, William naturally didn't want to face a woman who was upset by him.
William himself picked up the teapot on the side, poured a cup of black tea for Anna, and then brought it to her and said: "Don't worry about things you shouldn't be worried about, you don't have that much energy!
And go back early, Eric won't be able to see you."
Although William's words were not flattering, William's actions still made Anna feel a little warm current in her heart, and William and Anna have been married until now, and William has poured only a handful of tea for Anna.
After Anna had left the room, William walked to the window to the side and looked at the woods that had begun to fall leaves, and after a moment, he frowned and told Horn to prepare the carriage, and he was going to find Locks.
When William arrived at the Prussian cabinet residence, Locks was buried in a large pile of papers, after all, Locks was already old, his eyes were almost close to them, and the large spectacle lenses were on the bridge of his nose.
And in order not to disturb the prime minister, William deliberately did not let those attendants knock on the door so as not to disturb Locks.
It wasn't until a while later that Locks looked up from these documents and stretched his waist when he saw William sitting not far from him, Locks quickly stood up and saluted William, but William said with a smile: "Excuse me, excuse me, my prime minister is so diligent, I should thank you!"
"Your Majesty laughs, we are all your courtiers, and we are rightly allegiance to you and the Kingdom of Prussia!"
William laughed a little and said: "Well, I'm here to inquire about Hanover, it's been six days, haven't the British answered yet?"
"Your Majesty, the government has not received a reply from the British side so far!"
After Locks finished speaking, a trace of anger appeared on William's face.
The last time the news of Charlotte's arson reached Brandenburg, Wilhelm immediately ordered the Prussian government to demand that the British give up Hanover without objection, and that the Duke of York and Charlotte divorce.
Although William also knew that this matter would definitely cause controversy in Britain after arriving in London, and even the fastest passage in six days could only allow the news to travel back and forth between London and Brandenburg, but it still caused William's dissatisfaction.
You must know that Charlotte and Hanover have two things, Prussia has urged the British side a long time ago, and the deadline he gave to Fox before was ten days, but now six days have passed, and the British side still has not replied.
"Well, then, you shall prepare at once for the reception of Hanover by the Government, and I shall now go to the War Office to consult with Prince Henry, and ten days shall be my ultimatum to the British side, and after ten days Hanover shall be included in the territory of Prussia, and I shall also receive news of Charlotte's return to Brandenburg!"
William's attitude was very resolute, and Locks was also very dissatisfied with the attitude of the British, so Locks didn't say much.
Later, William came to the military department, and when William arrived at the military department, Henry happened to be in the military department, because William and Henry began to discuss.
In London, the Prussian government's ultimatum had been served, and it was this ultimatum that caused the British Parliament to boil.
Hanover was a condition for Britain to induce Prussia to work in France, and this condition was not discussed by the British Parliament, so Prussia's demand for Hanover was never met in Parliament.
But now that Prussia had issued an ultimatum, if the British treacherously did not intend to cede Hanover, the threat of an immediate Prussian withdrawal from France and the seizure of Hanover by force seemed to the British top brass to be extremely glaring.

Little Pitt hadn't slept well for two days because of this Prussian ultimatum, but in the face of George III, who had an ambiguous attitude, he didn't know what His Majesty the King thought.
As for the Prussians' demand for a divorce from the Duke of York and Princess Charlotte, and the demand for compensation for Charlotte, it is a trivial matter compared to Hanover.
