After Locks conveyed the terms of the British to William, William was undoubtedly moved.
"Well, in that case, we are not unable to make some concessions, if the British can help Prussia to get the Philippine Islands and the islands in the Caribbean Sea to which Spain belongs, then the two sides will return to a state of peace, and the alliance between the two countries will not be destroyed as a result!"
William said calmly to Locks, and William's answer seemed reasonable to Locks.
No one is at odds with interests, and the Prussians care about de facto interests rather than verbal fame, and since the British want this fame, it is better to give them them.
Of course, the British agreed to Prussia's previous request at this moment, in fact, it was not good, you must know that Prussia's strength is on land, and for the sea, although Prussia's navy has been vigorously developed over the years, its overall level has far exceeded that of ordinary countries, but it is still far from enough compared with the British Empire.
Therefore, the British top brass believed that since Prussia had begun to have a tendency to turn against Britain, it was obviously unrealistic to continue to indulge Prussia.
In this way, leading Prussia to the sea is not an opportunity to disperse Prussia's forces!
Even if Prussia gets the Philippine Islands and some islands in the Caribbean Sea, it seems that it has benefited a lot, but these areas will also involve the financial and material resources of the Prussians, and more importantly, if Britain and Prussia really turn around in the future, then these areas will not only not become Prussia's help.
It will even become a burden to the Prussians!
Let's not forget that the total number of warships of the Prussian Navy is not even equal to that of a British home fleet.
The Prussians, of course, would have developed a navy.
But how could Britain, which had always regarded the navy as its first priority, stand still?
Soon after William and Locks had finished their discussions, Locks agreed to Fawkes' request on behalf of the Prussian government, and Fawkes sent the news to London urgently.
After the British authorities in London learned of the news sent back by Fox, the British government immediately declared to the outside world that the reason why the parliament of one country rejected the bill to transfer Hanover was precisely because the Prussian government decided to buy Hanover at a paid price in order to show the close relations between the two countries, and the accident caused by this was actually caused by poor communication between the two countries.
The British government announced at the same time.
After that, the British and Prussian governments will strengthen communication to prevent the recurrence of such incidents!
The news released by the British government has calmed down the British Isles, which was originally panicked.
And not long after the Prussian and British governments unified their voices.
The coalition forces on the French front also received the news.
Because of the distance, William III, the Dutch ruler, received the news even a few days before Ferdinand.
It was already November, and the two Prussian divisions had arrived not far from the city of Rouen, and even passed through the Prussians to replenish them.
These two divisions were almost at full strength.
And this also worried William III, who was stationed in Rouen.
When I got the news.
Wilhelm III, who had been torn between Prussia and England, was now relieved.
"Quick, tell the Prussians about this, and call Sir Whartonhall over at once!"
William III immediately ordered his attendants beside him.
Not to mention the meeting between William III and Whartonhall in the city of Rouen.
In the Prussian army headquarters in the city of Bowei, Ferdinand welcomed a special guest.
This guest had come to negotiate peace with the Prussians on the orders of Napoleon, who had already been persuaded by Napoleon.
The slogan of "Outside the World" became the main theme in Paris.
"Your Excellency, you are not aware of the proposal for our country.
What do you think?
” The guest asked Ferdinand after explaining to Ferdinand the message that the French government wanted peace.
Ferdinand, who was sitting at the top, immediately began to think after the guest representing the Bourbon dynasty finished speaking.
For Ferdinand, it is not in Prussia's interest to continue the stalemate with the French at the moment, if the relationship between Prussia and Britain has not deteriorated before, Ferdinand will definitely refuse without considering it, but the current situation makes Ferdinand extremely hesitant.
With the annihilation of Prince Condé's Fourth Army by the Allied forces, Paris has now become an isolated city, and in this case, if Ferdinand insists on going his own way, then Napoleon would not be able to hold Paris in this situation, even if he has the talent of the world.
But at present, Prussia's land in France is not only the French enemy, Ferdinand does not know the agreement between Prussia and the British government, he only knows that with the capture of Hanover, Brandenburg has sent a military order, so that he is ready to annihilate the British ** team, and will not allow a British soldier to withdraw from France calmly.
Under these circumstances, according to the order of the Military Ministry, Ferdinand was ready for an all-out war with the British, and the Prussian army, although at present had seven divisions, the Imperial divisions and the reinforcements sent by Brandenburg had arrived in France.
The seven divisions, although they were still not fully manned after being replenished, still had a total strength of 67,000 Prussian troops.
This is three times the size of the British, but Ferdinand still does not dare to despise the British, after all, they are now in a land close to the British mainland, through the sea route, the British can quickly replenish the army.
In this case, the attitude of the Dutch and the French was quite important, and Ferdinand had no hope in his heart for the Netherlands.
Although the Dutch ruler William III came to power, there is no lack of Prussia's credit, but it can be seen from a series of measures after he came to power.
The pro-British policy adopted by this ruler made it even more likely that the Dutch army would fall to the British.
In such a situation.

It is ironic that the French, though not very powerful, at this time their inclination became the greatest variable in a possible war.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Ferdinand finally decided to agree to the request of the French, after all, the French demand was not harmful to the current Prussian army, and the orders of the military department were mainly aimed at the British.
As for the French, the Prussian top never thought of including France in Prussian territory in a short period of time.
"The resumption of normal relations with your country is a good idea to agree to your Excellency on behalf of my Government.
But I don't know how high your country's expectations are for peace. ” Ferdinand thought for a while and then said to the French guest, and when he heard Ferdinand's words, the French envoy thought for a moment and said: "If your country agrees to our terms of peace.
Then our country will unconditionally assist your country with some technology.
Even if your country's demands do not exceed our psychological expectations, then our country can accede!
” Obviously, the French really wanted to negotiate peace with the Prussians, otherwise the French envoy would not have said this obediently, you must know that saying these words means that the French took the initiative to give up the initiative in negotiations, and obediently waited for the Prussian knife to cut the flesh on the French!
And Ferdinand immediately smiled when he heard the words of this French envoy.
France was an old empire, although in some ways it was inferior to Prussia.
But it has to be said that this old empire with hundreds of years of national glory still has strong capital, such as its shipbuilding technology.
The core technology of large warships has always been the top secret within various countries.
Although it is still the age of sail ships, not all countries are able to build large warships.
At present, although the Prussian Navy has a first-class ship and a first-class ship under construction, the Prussian Navy is still unable to build a first-class ship.
The first class ship "Frederick the Great" in service was the trophy of the Danish Navy captured by the Prussian army, and the first and second class ships currently under construction also rely on the shipbuilding technology left behind by Denmark and the technical assistance of the British.
In addition, although it is also a first-class ship, it has to be said that the first-class ships made by Britain, Spain, and France, these three countries are superior to other countries in terms of performance.
The first-class ships of the Spanish Navy can carry more than 100 guns on each battleship, and even reach a maximum of 120 guns, while compared with the first-class ships built by the British, although they are slightly inferior in the number of guns, they are faster than the Spaniards.
As for France, just by looking at the French navy being able to compete with the British navy in the world, you can see that the French navy is strong.
Although Ferdinand was an army general, this did not mean that Ferdinand did not attach importance to the navy in his heart, and under the slogan that William put forward that Prussia wanted not only land but also sea, the whole Prussia attached unprecedented importance to the navy.
In this situation, Ferdinand asked tentatively: "For your country's core artillery technology and warship manufacturing and alchemy technology, my country very much hopes to be able to get it, I wonder if your country can cut love?"
"Yes, but this must be agreed by the two kings, and in addition, I have come here to express the hope of stopping the war, and for the content of the peace agreement, we will send a mission to Brandenburg!"
"Very well, in that case, then I promise for the time being that not a single soldier of the Prussian army will go south until an agreement between your country and my government has been reached!"
As soon as Ferdinand gave his assurance, the French envoy's face was filled with joy, and he hurried back to Paris.
When the messenger told Louis XVI and Napoleon the full story of his conversation with Ferdinand, they fell silent for a while.
For a while, Louis XVI said to Napoleon as if he were decades old: "I will ask the government to send someone to Brandenburg immediately, and you will also go down and carry out what we have discussed as soon as possible, and I hope that France's efforts will be rewarded!"
"Your Majesty!"
Napoleon saluted Louis XVI and left the palace.
When he returned to his residence, Napoleon went to the original Lucien room.
Napoleon then drove all his attendants out of the room, and when he was the only one left in the room, Napoleon erupted like a madman without warning.
In fact, who is the least willing to make peace with the Prussians.
Then Napoleon was definitely the most reluctant person, but it was Napoleon himself who suggested that Louis XVI make peace with Prussia.
Napoleon's elder brother Joseph, younger brother Lucien, and some collateral relatives can be regarded as dead at the hands of the Prussians, and it can be said that the Bonaparte family and Prussia have a blood feud, and in this case, Napoleon's reason and sensibility have always been entangled in Napoleon's heart.
This inner battle reached its peak, especially when the news of the Prussian and British turnarounds reached Paris.
Sensual told Napoleon that he should kill all the Prussians he saw.
Because all these Prussians were executioners, and all his brothers died at the hands of these Prussians.
But reason told Napoleon that it was not yet time for revenge.
Even if he wanted revenge, neither he nor France had the strength to take revenge at the moment.
Prussia is now the strongest country on the European continent, and it is not an overnight thing to take revenge on Prussia, if Napoleon really wants revenge.
Then he must forbear, forbear, and forbear!
It can be said that from the Hanover incident to Paris to the present.
Napoleon did not get a good night's sleep every night, and when he closed his eyes, it was as if he could see his brother and brother standing in front of him, covered in blood.
But Napoleon was a resolute man after all, he would not waver in his beliefs because of some extreme ideas, and although he was very painful, in the eyes of the outside world, Napoleon has always behaved without abnormality.
Napoleon vented in the room for a while, and when he came to his senses, all the objects in the room had become wreckage.
Napoleon then straightened his clothes.
After regaining a calm expression on his face, Napoleon pushed open the door and walked out. ....................................

October 11th.
After trying to persuade the remnants of the Russian Empire's counterinsurgency army to fail, Brankoff immediately led 10,000 rebels to attack the counterinsurgency with the 20,000 rebels originally deployed in front of the counterinsurgency army.
Although the counterinsurgency still has an army of nearly 20,000, the counterinsurgency army is unable to effectively respond to the rebels' attack because the rebel base camp Zelenograd has been conquered and Rumyantsev has been captured.
In just two days, the counterinsurgency army was annihilated by Brankoff's army, and less than 3,000 people escaped.
With the annihilation of the counterinsurgency, for a while, Brankoff's rebels regrouped, not only linked several important towns around Moscow, and even under Brankoff's planning, 20,000 rebels have been assembled, only after this winter has passed, Brankoff will lead this army north to attack St.
Petersburg.
Emperor Alexander had been in his room for a day, and even that day, Alexander had not even eaten, and Alexander was worried about the annihilation of the rebels and the resurgence of the rebels.
It is a great irony that the Russian Empire, which has the largest territory in Europe, does not even have many troops.
There are only 5,000 people in the St.
Petersburg area, which can be said to be almost an empty city, and the 20,000 people led by Alexander himself are the only Russian army in the Russian Empire except for Bagration's department.
The strength of the Russian Empire, which originally had nearly 300,000 troops, has fallen to a terrible level due to the civil strife in the past two years.
This is not to blame Alexander, after all, Brankoff's rebellion changed the color of the 100,000 Black Sea elites of the Russian Empire in one fell swoop, and Kutuzov was a little less than Blankov, but still nearly 40,000.
The only thing that could give Alexander comfort was the current season, which was now mid-October, which meant that winter was not far off, and in this case, Brankoff's rebels would inevitably shrink their lines and wait until the weather warmed up next year.
Winters in Russia are earlier and certainly more brutal than in other countries.
Basically, in November, there are very few Russians going out, after all, in November, the Russian winter goddess has arrived, in this case, it is undoubtedly very stupid to send a large army, and the logistics of the rebels may not be able to support the large consumption required for the forced march in winter.
Historically, Napoleon's defeat in Moscow was in October, and although there were other factors, weather was an important factor in the defeat of Napoleon's army.
And for now, if the victory or defeat of the army is not considered for the time being, if he survives this winter, it will become a big problem for Alexander.
Fortunately, Tver, where Alexander was stationed, and the surrounding area were still loyal supporters of the Romanov dynasty, which gave Alexander some confidence to survive the winter.
"I don't know what happened to Bagration, if he can defeat the Swedes, I'm afraid our situation will be better!"
Alexander stood in his room and sighed, although he was only sixteen years old, he saw the vicissitudes of life in the face of the young monarch.
