Chapter 657: The Threat of War
"Your Royal Highness the Regent, please forgive me for being stupid! I don't understand which side you and your kingdom are on! ”
Morality. Ruiz stared at the regent William with stern eyes, and his tone became aggressive.
"Bold!" The attendant military attaché who followed William I, the regent of William, reprimanded De with a straight face. Ruiz said, "Who allowed you to speak to His Highness in such a tone!" ”
"Please forgive me for my rash behavior!" Morality. Ruiz bowed to the regent William I, as if to apologize for what he had just said.
However, from De. Louis's unruly expression now shows that his so-called apology just now is simply a fart word.
Looking at the unabashedly former French Foreign Minister in front of him, the expression of the regent William I also became cloudy.
Now De. Ruiz gave him the feeling of being confronted by someone he had sent to the Frankfurt Parliament.
The two of them are simply the same abomination! The regent couldn't help but think to himself.
Although the regent William was disgusted with De. Ruiz has an aggressive attitude, but he still has to be right. Ruiz smiled back.
Who makes De. Behind Ruiz stands a French emperor!
The current Kingdom of Prussia is temporarily unable to compete with the French Empire in terms of comprehensive national strength and military strength.
"The Kingdom of Prussia, of course, is on the side of fairness and justice!" William I did not directly say which side he was on, but responded with an ambiguous attitude.
"Good!" Morality. Ruiz's tone was a little softer than before, but he still did not change his arrogant tone: "Since the Kingdom of Prussia thinks that it is on our side, then I would like to ask what the Kingdom of Prussia has done since the beginning of the war to the present in our favor!" ”
"We helped France stop Russia's westward advance!" William Regent said righteously.
"Your Highness!" Morality. Ruiz had a sarcastic expression on his face, "If the Russian Empire really intended to advance westward, I'm afraid that the legions of the Kingdom of Prussia would have been placed on the eastern border by you a long time ago!" On the eastern border of the Kingdom of Prussia there are only 2 armies stationed in the country, but you can commit 3 corps in the Rhineland! Are you preparing the Russian Empire for an attack on the Kingdom of Belgium from the sea, and then an attack on the Rhineland? ”
At present, the army of the Kingdom of Prussia has a total of 9 corps and 180,000 people, of which in addition to a guard army stationed in Berlin on a daily basis to protect the security of Berlin, a total of 5 corps are deployed in the eastern provinces and the Rhineland, and the remaining three armies are scattered throughout the Kingdom of Prussia as regiments.
Of course, the three armies deployed by the Kingdom of Prussia in the Rhineland were not intended to deter France.
Rather, they had to do it in order to prepare for possible unrest in the Rhineland.
After all, a few years earlier, the Kingdom of Prussia, in order to escape the fate of being thrown into Berlin by the Austrian Empire, had to "abandon its martial arts" to curry favor with the Russian Empire.
The price of the dissolution of the Prussian parliament and the implementation of the dictatorship of the monarch (regent) was that Berlin and the Rhineland launched revolutions one after another, and in order to suppress the revolution, the Kingdom of Prussia armed all the Junker nobles and carried out bloody suppression and exile of Berlin and the Rhineland.
That repression led directly to the German nationalists in the Rhineland who saw the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire as one and the same.
That is to say, the Kingdom of Prussia in this time and space was in Jérôme. Under the butterfly effect of Bonaparte, it was weaker than the historical Kingdom of Prussia in terms of overall national strength.
Of course, there are disadvantages and advantages, and the Kingdom of Prussia, after kicking out Prussia's bicameral system, has truly achieved the army and the state.
After that repression, the army no longer had to worry about being stuck by the parliament of the Kingdom of Prussia.
In terms of military strength, the current Kingdom of Prussia is slightly stronger than the Kingdom of Prussia at the same time in history, and the second type of reserve soldiers has changed from not receiving shoes and clothes to half being able to lead shoes and clothes.
After several years of perseverance, the regent Wilhelm had far more supporters in the Prussian army than his brother.
And what soldier doesn't like to give them a monarch!
The topic was far away, and William I listened to the German . Immediately after Luyce's words, he told de De. The reason why the Kingdom of Prussia wanted to put three armies in the Rhineland was to prevent the Rhinelanders from rebelling, not to have an opinion against France.
Morality. Ruiys immediately stated that he understood the difficulties of the Kingdom of Prussia, but still hoped that the Kingdom of Prussia would put pressure on the Russian Empire on the Eastern Front.
"Monsieur Ruice, you are pushing the Kingdom of Prussia into a pit of fire!" William I frowned at Germany. Ruiz responded.
"Your Highness, we are seeking peace for Europe!" Morality. Ruiz replied with a sincere face: "This Crimean War was originally a war against aggression that the French Empire had to fight in order to prevent Europe from falling into the hands of the Russian Empire.
Every European country should do what it can to help in this just war!
If every country wants to be like Prussia, how can we protect Europe with peace of mind!
My sovereign told me before I set out that if the Kingdom of Prussia did not wish to be friends with us, then become enemies! France will not allow an enemy to be at his side! ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present immediately changed, and they clearly understood that becoming an enemy of the French Empire meant the beginning of war.
"Is the French Empire going to war on the Kingdom of Prussia?" William I suppressed the anger in his heart against Germany. Ruiz asked.
"If you think that the Kingdom of Prussia cannot be friends with the French Empire, then you can think that I am declaring war on the Kingdom of Prussia!" Morality. Lyceum nodded sternly, then threatened William I.
William I's face was gloomy, and after a moment of silence, he smiled again. Ruiz emphasized: "The Kingdom of Prussia will never be an enemy of the French Empire, never!" ”
"Then please Your Highness, make some substantive actions!" Morality. Louis replied to William I with a haughty gesture.
"May I think about it!" William I unconsciously showed a disgusted expression on his face, and he hated the guy in front of him even more.
"Of course!" Morality. Ruiz bowed to the regent William, and then reminded him "kindly": "I forgot to say that in the near future, the French Empire will hold a military exercise codenamed "Winter Thunder" in Metz, I hope the Kingdom of Prussia can understand!" ”
After that, De. Ruiz bowed to William I again and left.
Looking at De. With the back of Ruiz leaving, the regent William I gritted his teeth and said, "I want to have him torn to pieces!" ”
"Your Highness, don't be impulsive!"
"Yes! Your Highness! ”
Originally angry denounced Germany. Lyce's attendants and military attachés were now dissuading William I from acting rashly, fearing that the regent in front of them would be impulsive and take the regent. Ruiz directly physically disappeared.
In this case, the French Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia will really face an endless end.
In the event of a separate war between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, the German Confederation would not help the Kingdom of Prussia at all, but would rather be an obstacle.
As for the enthusiasm of the group of small deflated people in South Germany and Central Germany (here are mainly Württemberg, Bavaria, and Saxony, except for Württemberg because of kinship, Bavaria's purpose is to eat Prussia, Austria, and France, and Saxony is the enmity with France) to run to Paris every day, which is almost as fast as the time of King Louis (Louis XIV), and the current Austrian Empire, after receiving a large sum of money from the French Empire, their temperament is also up for debate.
Don't look at the German War Law, which stipulates that if any German country is invaded, other German kings must help the factory.
In fact, the law is dead, people are alive, and there are many ways to circumvent the laws of war.
Were the German vassal states really willing to fight with the French Empire to protect the Kingdom of Prussia? I'm afraid it's hard.
As for the Kingdom of Hanover, it is estimated that it will be difficult to help the Kingdom of Prussia.
Because the godfather behind the Kingdom of Hanover is the Kingdom of Britain, although the godfather of the Kingdom of Britain has always wanted to get rid of Hanover, it does not mean that they will not care about Hanover.
Britain still needs France.
If the French Empire were determined to go to war, the Kingdom of Prussia would be surrounded by either two or five boys or bastards.
With this group of insects, how can you do a good job in Germany!
"I'm not dizzy yet!" William I gasped for breath, calmed down a little, and then said to the attendants and military attachés around him: "Call Prime Minister Mandolfel, Chancellor Ron, and Moltke!" ”
"Yes!" The attendant military attaché who received the order immediately responded to William I and then turned and left.
"Hey!" William I sighed to himself and looked up at the portraits of the kings hanging on the wall.
About half an hour later, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, Mantofel, the Minister of War, Ron, and the Chief of the General Staff, Moltke, appeared in the hall.
"You're here!" Looking at the three pillars of the kingdom in front of him, a smile of joy appeared on William I's face.
The three of them hurried to curtsy to Wilhelm I, who first went to ask Ron how the Prussian army was doing.
Ron told Wilhelm I that the Prussian army, under the leadership of Major General Moltke, had completely swept away the initial humiliation and gradually became stronger.
"Major General Moltke! If there was a war between Prussia and France, how sure would you win! Wilhelm I asked Old Moltke with an earnest look.
"Your Majesty, I will do my best!" Old Moltke replied with a loud voice.
"Okay! I know! Wilhelm I instantly understood the subtext of old Moltke, the current Kingdom of Prussia was no match for the French Empire.
"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?" Mandolfil asked William I with a panicked expression, he did not understand why William I wanted to fight the French Empire.
William I was silent, and the attendant military attaché standing aside told them exactly what had just happened in the hall.
There is a way for the Lord to humiliate his ministers to death.
Hearing that his lord William I was deed. After Ruiz "insulted", the three people all showed varying degrees of indignation on their faces.
However, anger is anger, and the three of them are not carried away by anger, and still calmly analyze the situation.
