The continuous drizzle has been falling for several days in the Fuda area of ​​the Hesse-Kassel Principality. The originally leveled dirt road was full of potholes under the scouring of muddy water. It also revealed a strange damp and musty smell, which made the people of the Hesse-Kassel Principality living in the city feel very uncomfortable.

People in the Fulda region could endure it if it just rained. After all, their ancestors have lived in this place for generations, and they have long been accustomed to the unpredictable weather in Fulda, but there is something worse than rain happening in this area, and that is war.

What is even more unacceptable is that the leader of the war is not the Duchy of Hesse-Kassel, but the Kingdom of Prussia who supports the Parliament of the Duchy of Hesse-Kassel and the Duchy of Hesse-Kassel (before) Electoral Austrian Empire.

The two German brothers, who are not in a fight with the Principality of Hesse-Kassel, can be regarded as compatriots. They have been stationed in the country for a long time, and they have been stationed for more than a year.

This is simply hitting the face of the Principality of Hesse-Kassel. However, the Parliament and the Duke of Hesse-Kassel have never once condemned this blatant "invasion" of the territory of other countries. They will only fight each other. When they insulted each other, the big brother who was backing them tried to get the big brother's full support.

As for the life and death of the subjects and the people (the electors call the subjects, the parliament calls the people), how can it be compared with the great ideal of their crown.

Of course, there is nothing worse than worse. The contradiction between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire has intensified over time, especially after October, the military operations of the two countries in the Fulda region have reached the point of confrontation.

Every two or three days, in the forest on the outskirts of Fulda, the rumbling of artillery can be heard, some from the military camp of the Kingdom of Prussia, some from the camp of the Austrian Empire, and what is even more broken is that every time the artillery is fired. It was in the middle of the night, and the sound of guns every three days prevented the residents of the Fulda area from getting a good night's sleep at all.

The long-term lack of sleep has deeply tormented the people of the Fulda region. Under the strong request of the residents of the Fulda region, the city council members and the mayor chose a suitable opportunity to come to the Prussian military camp and the Austrian military camp to reach the highest point in the Kingdom of Prussia. The military commander William I and the supreme commander of the Austrian Empire, the Archduke Albrecht (the original history of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire in the Fulda region were not the two highest military commanders, in addition to William I and the Archduke Albrecht). is also not based in Fulda.)

William I, who had not experienced the "suffering" of King Prussia, was like a template Junker noble who had undergone strict militarization training. William I, who routinely inspected Fulda, was accompanied by cuirassiers and Prussian line infantry. Arrogant gestures to meet with the mayor and councillors.

The flying dust, neat lines, shiny bayonets, and the continuous sound of gunfire not far away undoubtedly made the members of the parliament fearful, and the mayor who was "forced" by the residents of Fulda had to face this situation William I, known as the "Prince of Shotgun".

"Dear Prince!" The mayor of Fulda, dressed in traditional bourgeois style, bowed politely to William I on horseback.

William I did not respond to the mayor immediately. After he looked at the mayor with a condescending attitude, he said to the mayor in an orderly tone: "What exactly are you breaking into the military camp for?"

William I's bell-like voice combined with his standard Prussian military expression made the mayor and councilor tremble. He showed a stiff smile and said intermittently, "Your Excellency, we represent the Fulda city. The people want you to restrain your army..."

"Impossible!" Before the mayor made his request, William I ruthlessly rejected their request and ordered the soldiers to expel them from the barracks.

In the eyes of William I, the "Prince of Shotgun", who has always looked down on the people, they are just a bargaining chip for his brother against Germany, and a chess piece still wants to order the Prussian army? It's ridiculous!

The mayor of the Fulda region left the Prussian barracks in humiliation, and William I smiled with satisfaction and his face turned rosy, as if he had done something incredible.

At this moment, a military horse carrying a soldier came to Prince William. Although the soldier looked about fifty years old, he had a round and energetic face. The strong brown hair and the mustache make the soldier a little more handsome. He glanced at the departing mayor and reminded in a cautious tone: "Your Excellency, I don't think you should really treat them. They are still on our side after all!"

Prince William didn't take it seriously. He came to the soldier's side and laughed, patted the soldier's shoulder and said, "Ron, when did you become really indecisive!"

That's right, the soldier who reminded William I in front of him was Albrecht von Ron who laid the foundation for the foundation of the German Empire in the future, and was also the "blacksmith" who forged the sword of the German Empire.

Ron, who had just been recommended by William I to be a major general this year, came with him to the Duchy of Hesse-Kassel to fight against the Austrian Empire as an adjutant of William I. At the same time, Ron also served as the Prussian of Fulda stationed in Kassel. An operational bridge between the regional headquarters and Berlin, orders from Berlin first passed through the hands of Ron before reaching the hands of William I.

"Your Excellency, this is not indecision!" Ron hurriedly defended William I: "Maybe, the next form is far more severe than we imagined!"

Ron's words made William I smile, and he asked Ron with a serious expression: "Did something happen to Berlin again!"

William I had no doubts about the combat effectiveness of his Prussian army, and he even arrogantly believed that one Prussian soldier could defeat two Austrian soldiers.

The military strength of the Austrian Empire in 1848-1849 has been taken to the bottom.

Not only him, but many of the Prussian military also believed that Prussia's victory over Austria was a matter of course.

However, a military victory did not mean a diplomatic victory, and William I also understood that the Austrian Empire was best at using diplomatic methods to achieve its goals.

His older brother is also a man of unsteady will.

[When William I was the king of Prussia in the third-level parliament and was beaten to autism by the Prussian parliamentarians, he would recall the difficulty of his brother. This also laid the foundation for William I to fully delegate power to Bismarck and let Bismarck fight against the three-tier parliament. Bismarck's family and the Hohenzollern family can be said to be feuding, not to mention that Bismarck also offended William I's wife. If there was no other way, William I was reluctant to choose Bismarck. 】

Once his brother compromises, the Prussian army, even if it has the greatest ability, can only obey the king's order to compromise.

As Prince William had guessed, Ron spoke to Prince William with a solemn expression: "According to reports from Berlin, Prussian Foreign Minister Radowitz is likely to be impeached and resigned, and he will probably be replaced by Brandon. Count of Den Burg!"

Prince William's face changed instantly after hearing Radoowitz's dismissal, and his hands clenched the reins involuntarily.

Although he said that he hated the liberal Radowitz, he had to admit that Radowitz was a hard-liner against the Austrian Empire in the entire Prussian court.

Such a hawk, even if he is a liberal leader, will be well-intentioned by Junkers' nobles. For Junkers, there is nothing more exciting than fighting a war.

Now that Radowitz has been dismissed by his elder brother, does his timid uncle take power as a sign that his elder brother will give up his plans with the Austrian Empire and instead ease the conflict with the Austrian Empire?

"What did Earl Wrangel say?" Prince William asked Ron again.

Count Friedrich von Wrangel is Prince William's political and military ally, and he is also the current garrison commander of Berlin and Brandenburg. It can be said that as long as Count Wrangel is willing, It only takes one day for the Kingdom of Prussia to replace a new king.

It's just that the Kingdom of Prussia is not like the next door of the Russian Empire, hoping to have a tsar with two strokes in three days.

Count Wrangel would be willing to help Prince William become the regent unless Frederick William IV suddenly spoke out all Junker's crazy words.

Ron said to Prince William with a sad face: "The Earl of Wrangel also said that it is not optimisticHe thinks..."

Ron glanced at Prince William and was reluctant to say it in front of everyone.

Prince William, who had been tacit understanding for many years, immediately understood what Ron meant. After he sent the people around him, he asked again: "What did Your Excellency the Earl say?"

Ron hesitantly responded: "Count Wrangel believes that His Majesty has lost the fighting spirit that a monarch should have, and the poison of liberalism will destroy Prussia! A compromise with Austria will bring Prussia back to that shameful position. superior!"

"This is the right earl's style!" William I commented calmly.

"If necessary, he hopes that Prince William can serve as the regent!" Ron continued, his tone could not help revealing a little excitement, he expected William I to serve as the regent.

William I's face changed drastically. Of course he understood what Count Wrangel meant. The actions of the Austrian Empire had already named the way for the Kingdom of Prussia.

In the face of Earl Wrangel's suggestion, Prince William said unswervingly: "Please tell Earl Wrangel, it is absolutely impossible for me to replace my brother!"
