Sure enough, after Gilmellen finished speaking, Fox spoke: "At present, the government's finances are empty, and I want to increase the allocation, this ........"
As he spoke, Fawkes glanced at Abt, who immediately stood up and said: "Your Royal Highness the Regent, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, the expansion plan of the army is now at a critical juncture, and now that the rebellion in North America is revived, it is natural that it will be stretched thin in terms of funding, so I, like Gilmelen, also hope that the government will increase the allocation of funds to the army!"
Abt's words made Gilmelen almost tilt his nose in anger.
It has never been a secret that Britain's high-level naval and military rivalries have tended in naval victories, when Britain was not involved in continental Europe.
In the UK, the Navy can be called the Royal Navy, but the Army cannot be called the Royal Army at all, although it seems that this is only a trivial matter in terms of name, but in fact it is also a legacy of British history.
But this changed when the British top brass came up with a plan for the Continental Army.
"But now the rise of the Prussian navy is an inevitable fact, and we, the British Royal Navy, must maintain absolute superiority over the Prussians!"
"I remember that the size of the Royal Navy is more than a hundred capital warships, and a single home fleet can be equal to the total number of Prussian Navy, what are we afraid of, the most important thing now is the army!
Not to mention that our current colonies need a large number of troops to garrison.
The rebellion in North America alone required the mobilization of tens of thousands of troops, and these forces were not necessarily enough!
The North American rebellion of that year.
But it was the mobilization of 70,000 troops of our country and Prussia to suppress it, and now, if the Prussians were to stand behind the Continental Parliament, we would need to mobilize at least as many troops as we were then.
I would like to ask His Excellency Gilmelen, if the home fleet could not hold back the Prussian navy of its size, where would the money that our government had invested in the navy over the years!
” After Abt's words were finished, Gilmelen, who was directly questioned, was silent for a while.
And at this moment, Augustus, who was sitting at the top, also spoke "The Navy's financial additions are not adopted with.
Now the priority is to put out the rebellion on the North American continent, so the finances need to be tilted in favor of the army, and of course the current financial situation is well known, so I am prepared to allocate four hundred thousand pounds from the royal treasury to the national treasury."
As he spoke, Augustus paused and then added: "The army must do its best to fight this battle in North America, and I don't want to see the situation in North America erode again to the point that it has been in for more than a decade!
In addition, the navy should strengthen drills, if it really can't be done.
For the time being, warships will be transferred to various overseas fleets to reinforce the home fleet, and the superiority over the Prussian navy must be guaranteed!
” With that, Augustus ignored the expressions of everyone in the palace and turned to leave.
After His Royal Highness the Regent left, Gilmeuron looked at Abt with a very dissatisfied gaze, but Abt was not afraid at all but looked at Gilmeuron with a victor's eyes, and the eyes of the two sides collided violently.
"Alright.
Your Royal Highness the Regent's order, you have all heard it, don't make any more trouble, and all of you should step down!
” Just as the atmosphere between the two ministers was becoming more and more dangerous, Fox spoke. ........................................
Scharnhorst, who was given full authority by Bruneke, finally investigated the biggest scandal since the establishment of the Prussian colonial government in North America.
The scandal began when a Prussian settler met Georg during a chance encounter.
He then disguised himself as Locks' nephew and William's close playmate.
Then, after inadvertently revealing several forged and almost seamless documents to Georg.
Naturally, Georg was convinced of his identity.
After deceiving Georg into trust, the scumbag claimed that he and Georg were close to him during this time, so he was ready to use Brandenburg's connections to not only promote Brunecke to a higher position, but also help Georg ascend to the governorship throne left behind by Bruneck's departure.
Of course, all this did not come without a price, and he needed Georg to provide 200,000 gold marks as funds to dredge up Brandenburg's relations.
After many days of getting along with this shabby, Georg had blind trust in him.
Coupled with the drive of promotion in his heart, he finally made Georg take risks and stretched out his clutches to the conscription he was responsible for.
Fortunately, because of Scharnhorst's sudden intervention, the money was not handed over to the slumber by Geog, who was later arrested along with Geog.
Scharnhorst handed over what could be called a closing statement to Brüneck, and has been carefully watching Brüneke's expression ever since.
In this case, Georg, Fred and others are all Brüneke's cronies, and it can even be said that if someone expands the scale of the crackdown, then the case can be extended to all of Bruneke's cronies in the North American colonies.
Although he had been prepared for it, when the truth was in front of him, he still felt deep regret in his heart.
"Scharnhorst, what is your opinion on the handling of this matter?"
After a long moment, Bruneke put down the papers in his hand and asked Scharnhorst.
Hearing Brunecke's words, Scharnhorst hurriedly said: "Your Excellency the Governor, you dare not overstep your authority!"
"I let you say it, you say it!"
Bruneke looked at Scharnhorst with a prison look, only to see that Scharnhorst felt a tingling of his scalp, and finally Scharnhorst said resolutely: "Although General Georg was deceived by men.
But after all, he was guilty of a great crime, and therefore felt that he should be removed from office according to Prussian law.
Although Fred and General Albery were not the masterminds, they accepted bribes from Georg after all, and based on the total price of the property they received, and considering the current situation, I think that Fred and Albery should be punished with major demerits.
As for the other generals and officials involved in this case, their positions should all be demoted by one grade, and at the same time, their illegal gains should be confiscated, and they should be punished with half a year's salary!

” Scharnhorst eventually saved some face for Bruneke.
If it were to be judged according to Prussian law, then the likes of Georg and Fred would at least be a death sentence.
Because in Prussian law, all embezzlement and bribery of up to 10,000 gold marks are capital offenses.
If Scharnhorst was determined to turn Bruneke against him, he could have taken the opportunity to wipe out Brüneke's cronies in the colonial governorate.
But at the moment, Scharnhorst did not do this, and of course Scharnhorst did it with a certain amount of selfishness.
Scharnhorst knew what Willian valued Brüneke, just as Brüneke knew Scharnhorst's place in Willian's mind.
If nothing else, Brunecke was able to calm down and develop North American colonies for Prussia for more than ten years, without seeking praise from Brandenburg.
Anyone should give Bruneke a thumbs up.
Of course, making a big deal about it could purge Brüneke's cronies and thwart Brüneke's future, but this approach is no less detrimental to Scharnhorst.
Brunecke's business in North America for more than ten years is so powerful that it can even be said.
Except for Bruneke's rebellion, he could get the support of more than eighty percent of the people in the colonial government.
If Scharnhorst dares to purge Bruneke in North America, there is no doubt that he will face a huge backlash.
This kind of rebound is unbearable even for Scharnhorst.
Besides, Brünek was a man to be exalted.
Although Brandenburg would consider punishing Brüneke if this scandal was a big deal, Scharnhorst believed that the worst-case scenario would be that Brüneke would continue to stay in North America, and that Brandenburg would not be able to kill someone like Brüneke who had done great service to the kingdom because of this incident.
And at that time, once Brunecke's future is blocked, then for a while, Scharnhorst naturally does not want to go up.
In this case, Bruneke, who remained in North America, naturally had a lot of opportunities to clean up Scharnhorst.
With such considerations, Scharnhorst decided to help Bruneke turn this matter into a small one, after all, the money was not spent, in other words, it did not cause much damage.
"Well, Scharnhorst, your opinion is quite pertinent, although they have done such a sensational evil, but after all, they have also contributed to the Kingdom of Prussia, and we cannot deny their loyalty to the Kingdom of Prussia because of a single problem!
Of course, in my opinion, this punishment is still a little lighter, so let's take it off the military and imprison him for another year.
Fred and Albery, both of whom were demoted, were demoted from major general to colonel, but their positions remained unchanged for the time being.
The rest of the officials involved in this case are also dealt with according to your opinion!
” As soon as Bruneke had finished, Scharnhorst saluted him and left.
After Scharnhorst's departure, Bruneke recorded the incident in an official document and sent someone to Brandenburg urgently.
Although Brunecke, as the governor of the North American colonies, William gave him full authority to manage the affairs of the colonies, but for Brunecke, it was impossible for him to apply the rights given to him by William to anything, not to mention anything else, if he concealed it, it would not cost him his life if his political enemies found out about it in the future.
In addition to the official letter to William, Bruneke also wrote a petition for guilt.
Whether he knew about it or not, it was clear that he had an inexorable leadership responsibility in the matter, so Bruneke also pleaded guilty to William, and hoped that William would set an example for him.
After writing the official letter and the letter of guilt, Brunecke put down the pen and suddenly felt a sense of weakness.
He didn't know what kind of turmoil this document would cause when it was delivered to Brandenburg, but of course someone was sure that someone was holding him by the pigtail.
But Bruneke really couldn't be ruthless against Georg.
After all, these are all generals who have cultivated themselves and watched them grow. ..............................
The August weather was a bit unbearably hot for William, even though he had already taken refuge in Sanssouci Palace.
But if the temperature is too high, people will always be uncomfortable.
"Carlo, I deliberately created an opportunity for you, why did you waste it in vain!"
William sat on a wicker chair in his office and said to Carlo who was standing next to him.
Before coming to Sanssouci Palace, William specially brought Christine and Charlotte, for Christine, the main thing is that William is not very comfortable to leave her in the Brandenburg Palace, and Charlotte.
Naturally, Willian wanted to create some opportunities for Carlo Dodo.
Hearing William's question, Carlo said with a red face: "Your Majesty, somehow, in front of Princess Charlotte, I can't say anything!"
Carlo's words made William's face smile dumbly, he knew that Carlo was shy, but he didn't expect Carlo to be so shy, knowing that he was in the battle of the Austrian Netherlands.
Carlo is a real man who has stabbed several French soldiers with countless scars on his body but does not move.
"I said Carlo, if you don't take the chance, then I'll give it to someone else, I don't know the rest, but now the former king of Denmark, the Grand Duke of Schleswig, and the king of Spain have all invited someone to propose to me!"
Carlos IV of Spain had to depose his queen because of a previous domestic rebellion.
Since then, the throne of the Queen of Spain has been vacant, and the current Grand Duke Schleswig, the son of the Grand Duke who once exchanged territories with Prussia, has just ascended the throne at the age of 18 this year.
As for Lilisa's cousin, it was a coincidence that his wife had also died.
Seeing that Prussia had become the number one power on the European continent, they naturally wanted to strengthen their relations with Prussia for whatever reason.

And in this way, it naturally made the Prussian princess popular.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that.
You promised me!
” Looking at the anxious look on Carlo's face, William couldn't help but laugh out loud anymore.
Just as William continued to laugh at Carlo, Horn hurried to William's side and leaned on William's ear and said: "Your Majesty, according to the news of Brandenburg, Neville had a hot fight with several palace maids arranged by his side, and he also hinted at a few officials who were good friends, claiming that he would give these officials a good future when he arrived in Western Lithuania in the future!"
Hornder's words made William's mood gloomy again, after he had just made fun of Carlo.
"This unsuccessful thing has finally revealed its fox tail, you go and call Christine and I have something to say to her!"
With that, William closed his eyes and recuperated.
After a while, footsteps sounded in William's ears, William opened his eyes and saw that Christine had walked to his side under the leadership of Horn, and after seeing William open his eyes, Christini saluted William.
Seeing Christine's movements, William sighed in his heart.
You must know that Christine never saluted him before, and every time she saw William, she rushed into William's arms, but after Neville's incident, Christine really changed.
Although this change is good to some extent, at least Her Royal Highness is more in line with the majesty of a dignified Prussian princess in the eyes of more people, but in William's opinion, this change is very damned, because the once lively and innocent sister has become more and more distant from him.
"Sit down, look at you, your head is sweating, Horn go and get someone to prepare iced tea, this is Christine's favorite!"
After letting Christine sit down, William said to Horn.
After a while, the iced black tea was brought to Christine.
"Christine, how are you still used to being in Sanssouci these days, if you want me to say that you should go out and walk around more" "It's okay, brother, I'm fine, besides, Sister Charlotte and Karina are here!"
"That's good!
That's the case, I think about it and think Neville is still very good, I am going to arrange your marriage until October, what do you think?
” Hearing William say this, Christianie's pretty face instantly turned red.
"Haha, if you don't say it, I'll take it as your consent, okay, then you go down first, I have other things to discuss with Horn!"
After William finished speaking, Cristini saluted William, and then hurried away, but the look on her face revealed the excitement in Cristiny's heart.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Looking at Christine's back as she left, Horn asked, standing beside William.
William said softly: "I don't have the nature to play this game anymore, you arrange a few trustworthy people to arrange an accident for me in Brandenburg, Neville must die!
But this matter must not be known to Christine, and I hope that everyone who knows about it except you will always shut up for me!
You know what I mean?
” When he said this, William's expression did not fluctuate at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
And Horn also understood it immediately after William finished speaking, and then left.
Christine, I didn't want to do this, but a long pain is better than a short pain, so let you stop thinking about it now.
In fact, when he told Hornd, William also felt a sense of shame in his heart, after all, he had just promised Christine that he would fulfill her and Neville.
But the shame comes and goes faster.
