Later, Penin, who had been ordered by Alexander, replaced Royevich as the representative of the Russians and held talks with Kut.
I have to say that compared with Rojevich, Penning is still relatively famous in the Prussian high-level, after all, since Paul I, this Penning has been an important member of the Russian Empire's high-level, and in this case, Penning has naturally become one of the targets of the Prussian intelligence agencies. .......................................
End of July 1794 Wilhelm returned to Brandenburg, and on both sides of the Brandenburg gates, almost the entire population of Brandenburg poured out, and Brandenburg became a sea of joy at this moment.
Dressed in a black gown, William rode on a tall Hanover horse, looking at the excited Prussian people on both sides of the road that stretched out of the city, Wilhelm kept waving his hands and a warm smile on his face.
At this moment, at the Brandenburg city gate, a group of members of the Hohenzollern royal family, including Louise, as well as officials and dignitaries around Brandenburg, were all waiting here, and there were no less than 10,000 people from a distance.
William, riding his horse, saw Louise and Anna standing in the center and little Eric in Anna's arms.
When William came not far from the city gate, he stepped off his horse with a sharp step, and strode towards Louise.
"Mother, I'm back!"
"It's good to be back, William.
You have accomplished what every generation of Hohenzollerns dream of, and you are the pride of the Hohenzollerns and Prussia!
I'm proud of you!
” As she spoke, Louise was already in tears.
Every mother will be proud and proud of what her son has achieved.
And it is clear that William's achievements are unprecedented in the history of Prussia.
Although Frederick the Great was made the Great, this title was only an honorific title for posterity, and Frederick never became the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
There are only two countries in Europe that hold the crown of emperor, one is the Holy Roman Empire, and the other is the Russian Empire, but unfortunately for most of Europe, the so-called Tsar of the Russian Empire in the far reaches of Eastern Europe is basically a barbarian or something.
That's it.
In Europe, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was naturally recognized as an emperor.
And now, William has reached that height.
It can be said that since William's successful coronation by the Pope in Rome, he has been on a par with the famous rulers in European history.
Louise and William gave up a gentle hug to Anna.
When William stood in front of Anna again, Her Royal Highness the Queen of Prussia had mixed feelings.
The Habsburgs have held the laurels of the Holy Roman Emperor in their hands for hundreds of years, but from now on.
The Russian title of Emperor has left the Habsburgs.
And above the corpses of the Habsburgs, a new dynasty has been established, this one called Hohenzollern.
However, even though Anna has too many indescribable emotions in her heart, at this moment, under the attention of everyone, Anna naturally shows her mother's side of the world.
Anna respectfully saluted William, and then, at William's signal, Anna handed Eric into William's hands.
When William took Eric from Anna's hands.
William's face had a different look.
I saw William turn around and lift up the little Eric who had just been held in his arms towards the tens of thousands of troops behind him.
"This is my empire, and it will be yours!"
After hearing William's words.
Horn immediately cried out in understanding: "Long live Prussia!
Long live Augustus!
Long live His Majesty the Emperor!
Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
” After Horn was the first to speak, he only heard tens of thousands of Prussian soldiers in front of William immediately shouting after Horn.
And at this very moment, the Prussians gathered at the gates of Brandenburg, whether they were close relatives of the Hohenzollern family or ordinary Prussian people, they could only be He stooped down and saluted William, who was holding Eric aloft, and shouted a slogan of hooray.
At this time, Anna was already in tears.
If it is in the East, then the crown prince naturally cannot be shouted as long live, after all, in the ancient Eastern country, only the emperor himself can be called long live, but there is nothing beyond the emphasis on this.
Although William had previously established the status of Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Prussia, it is important to know that William's identity is no longer the same, he is not only the king of the Kingdom of Prussia, but also the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
In Europe, the right of a definite heir to his or her father's property was not always the case, as is not uncommon in Western history.
In other words, if Eric was only a Prussian crown prince, then it meant that if William waited until he went to God, he would only inherit the Prussian kingdom, and if William had other wills for William's lands and titles other than Prussia, then Eric would not get anything.
This was what Anna had feared before, as mothers wanted the best for their sons in every powerful family, and Anna was no exception, and she wanted Eric to inherit all of William's titles and domains.
But now, Anna no longer has this kind of worry in her heart, and William's holding Eric high in front of tens of thousands of people is an indirect means of confirming Eric's identity.

However, in contrast to Anna's tears, little Eric was at a loss after countless shouts rang out around him.
After a few moments, William put Eric down and placed him in Anna's arms.
"You deserve this, Anna.
During this time, you are fine."
After William finished saying this in Anna's ear, he looked back at the group standing behind Anna.
Among them, Wilhelm saw Ludwig.
William's face suddenly froze, and Anna could see that William's face was unnatural, and then Anna stood beside William and said: "Mother thinks that you two brothers should be closer together, rather than acting as enemies, and since today is a day of great joy after all, she has recalled Ludwig to Brandenburg!"
Let's be honest.
In Anna's heart, she also disliked Ludwig, after all, Louise only had two sons.
And now that Eric Jr. is still young, this means that if anything happens to William before Eric comes of age, it is entirely possible for Ludwig to replace Erik.
In fact, this situation exists in every royal family.
Don't look at the royal family, what you show to the people and foreign countries is a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere.
In fact, the darkest place in the world is in the palaces of these supreme rulers, and all kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies are being staged among these families at all times.
"yes, I see!"
After listening to Anna's words, William just answered and didn't say anything.
Subsequently, the grand entrance ceremony took place in Brandenburg.
After the ceremony, Wilhelm summoned Locks and other government ministers to the Brandenburg Palace.
After a brief briefing on the affairs of the Russian fleet at the port of Copenhagen, Locks gave William a brief account of the Russian fleet's docking.
"You mean that St.
Petersburg has already been captured by Brankoff's rebels.
Alexander is now in exile!
” Although William had already learned about this from the government's letter.
But after listening to Locks's words, William's expression still changed.
"Your Majesty, the minister's previous discussion was to win over Alexander, and the Admiral Mehard also wanted to hire the Russians for the Baltic Fleet, so the minister specially authorized His Excellency Kut to go to Copenhagen to hold talks with the Russians!"
After listening to this, William nodded and said: "Your Excellency, you have done a good job, supporting Alexander is indeed of great benefit to us, and besides, I am also very curious about how much wealth the tsar carried, but there is one thing, the Prussian army is not able to send troops to help Alexander for the time being, you can send an order to Kut, if the Russians want us to send troops, then it is better to delay for a year!"
On the way here, Wilhelm had already thought about this problem, and in Wilhelm's opinion, if he wanted the Russians to agree to Brandenburg's demands, then he would definitely ask Brandenburg to send troops to help Alexander recover.
But at this stage, in Wilhelm's opinion, it was the period of recuperation of the Prussian army.
At present, the Prussian troops stationed in various places are intensively carrying out the work of replenishing personnel and materials, and in the previous battle, the Prussian army suffered a total of nearly 100,000 casualties, and according to the new plan put forward by the Military Department, the Prussian army will concentrate its energies on the reorganization and personnel deployment within the army in the next year.
You must know that Prussia currently has 25 divisions, and if you add the colonial divisions and three imperial divisions, then the total strength of the Prussian army even reaches the scale of 400,000 people, and even if you only count the 25 divisions of Prussia itself, the strength of the Prussian army is more than 300,000.
These 300,000 people are a pure field army, and do not include the city defense troops and militias in various regions.
At present, there is a shortfall of more than 40,000 troops in the army, and it has become the most important task of the military department and the general staff to fill this gap in one year and restore the combat effectiveness of all divisions and regiments.
And William did not want to fight another large-scale war if the Prussian army was not ready, knowing that if Prussia really helped Alexander to attack Brankoff, then the army needed to be dispatched was not a small number, at least more than 50,000 troops would need to be mobilized.
Moreover, Prussia did not have the economic strength to fight another major war, and although Prussia gained a great deal of wealth through the war, some of this wealth was used to restore the construction of the newly occupied areas, and on the other hand, it was used as a pension and reward for the military.
As a result, there is not much left of the wealth left to supplement the treasury.
You must know that this is still under the condition that William has no selfish intentions!
Therefore, not only does the military need a year to recuperate, but the government headed by Locks also hopes that there will be no major use of swords within a year.
"Yes.
Your Majesty, there is one thing that needs your decision, and that is the news from the French that Napoleon wants to be able to buy a batch of weapons and equipment from us, which is quite large and needs your decision, and there has been a little change in the North American colonies recently, and the resurgence of the Continental Congress!
” After Locks' debriefing.
William, however, was lost in thought.
The current Napoleon is not an equal opponent for William, but this does not prevent William from attaching importance to Napoleon in his heart.
Anyone who can leave a famous name in history naturally has his own uniqueness, compared with the original history.
Today's Napoleon has achieved even more than the original historical Napoleon.
As for why Napoleon wanted to buy weapons from Prussia, William was also clear in his heart, it was nothing more than that Napoleon felt that it was not safe now and wanted to expand his armaments.
But compared to the original history.

The current Napoleon has a huge flaw.
That is, the current Napoleon did not have the majority of the popular hearts and minds of France.
The people's heart is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it has to be said that this thing exists and plays a very important role in the rise and fall of a dynasty.
The current Napoleon can be said to have completely offended the revolutionary forces, and tens of thousands of people were displaced under the large-scale liquidation, which made Napoleon a figure who was eager to kill all the revolutionaries.
And the revolutionary party is precisely the representative of the bourgeoisie, and in any country, in addition to the ruling stratum represented by the royal family and the noble guard, there is the middle stratum represented by these bourgeoisie.
Also in the French high-rise.
It is clear that Napoleon did not have the unanimous support of the French high-top.
In the original history, Napoleon's ascension to the throne depended on his own strength.
The role of the bourgeoisie in this was also enormous, and it was the support of the bourgeoisie that enabled Napoleon to build his empire on the ruins of the French Republic!
However, among the people at the bottom of France, Napoleon's prestige is undoubtedly huge, since Napoleon stepped into the political arena, he offended the French high-level and the middle class, but only the people at the bottom, Napoleon not only did not offend, but also tried his best to protect the interests of these people.
In the south, a considerable part of the wealth obtained by the bourgeoisie that Napoleon exterminated was distributed by Napoleon to the poor and low-level commoners, and in the army, Napoleon never wore colored glasses for the promotion of generals because of their background.
Of course, this is also the biggest reliance on Napoleon's survival until now.
It was precisely because of this great prestige among the people at the bottom that Napoleon never had to worry about the lack of his own soldiers.
This can be seen from Napoleon's repeated defeats and resurrections.
However, for William, it was not a bad idea to support Napoleon in France, after all, Napoleon was fighting the Bourbons in the ring, which was enough to continue to sink the once great empire of France.
"Weapons can be sold, of course, the premise of selling these weapons is to ensure that our army is fully equipped with weapons, but there is one thing, that is, the Friedrich 1790 rifle should not be sold to Napoleon!"
The Friedrich 1790 rifle has made great contributions to Prussia since its birth, and in previous wars, the Friedrich 1790 rifle, which surpassed the performance of contemporaneous rifles, was undoubtedly a great weapon in the hands of Prussian soldiers to defeat the enemy.
Of course, the Friedrich 1790 rifle is not a secret, after all, in previous wars, the superior performance of this rifle has attracted the attention of other countries, among which Britain and France and other major countries have obtained this firearm through various means and then disassembled, analyzed and imitated.
It's just that there is still a slight gap between these imitations and the real thing.
Wilhelm knew that this new rifle would not be able to keep secrets, and that countries would certainly develop their own new rifles in the future, but in the end, on this basis, Prussia was one step ahead of the others, although it was not a very big step at the moment.
And because of the limitation of production, this rifle is not completely popularized even in Prussia at present, and at present, only the Royal Guards and the top ten main divisions in the Prussian army have been equipped with this rifle, and the rest of the new divisions are still using old rifles.
Therefore, although William agreed to sell weapons to Napoleon, he did not express his intention to strongly support Napoleon.
In the Brandenburg Military Institute, a breakthrough has been made in the improved version of the Friedrich 1790 rifle, but there is still a long way to go before it can be put into production and equip the army, in this case, the Friedrich 1790 rifle, which is produced at 30,000 units a year, can only be used for refitting within the Prussian army.
After talking about Napoleon, William thought about the Continental Congress.
For the Continental Congress, William still admires it very much, if it were not for the participation of the Prussian army, the Continental Congress would have to establish the United States of America, and history has also proved that a group of people within the Continental Congress are quite outstanding talents, and it is these people who laid the foundation of the United States, making the United States become the world's first hegemon in the future and play the role of the world's peacekeeping police.
William is actually happy to make a comeback in the Continental Parliament, after all, there is no reason why William should not do anything that can block the British.
