Augusta never thought that her husband would throw such a sentence on her face in the end. The indifference and contempt broke her heart. Anyway, at that moment, she seemed to be falling straight into the abyss, her heart was in pain like a tear.

Several times she tried to open her mouth to say something, but each time her lips moved but no sound came out.

This moment was actually very fast, but she felt that it had been a long time, until she came to her senses, her husband who once seemed tall and mighty to her, the man who she thought could be entrusted to her for a lifetime, became so much at this moment. Faint and short.

Augusta tried hard to tell herself that she must be calm and must not be swayed by emotions. She took several deep breaths before slowly saying: "I still think we should be more cautious, and we can't be destroyed by a moment of excitement. Half a century of friendship with Austria. It's hard won, I think..."

It's just that Augusta's restraint didn't affect William I, because William I was really impatient to listen to her chatter, not to mention he didn't care about the friendship with Austria. Because if Napoleon was not too strong back then, Prussia would not have come together with Austria. Since the era of Frederick the Great, there has been no friendship between Prussia and Austria, only competition!

Even if the two countries were finally forced to come together because of Napoleon's relationship, this relationship is a cooperative relationship that each takes what it needs, and has nothing to do with friendship. If it is beneficial to Prussia to cut Austria into eight pieces and five horses, then he will immediately declare war on Austria, it is that simple!

"I said, don't worry about these things!" William I repeated impatiently, "I have my own measure! You don't need to worry about it!"

When William I once again told Augusta not to meddle in his own business, one can imagine how sad Augusta felt in his heart. It is really chilling that the relationship between husband and wife has been so cold for twenty years!

To be honest, William I's indifference angered Augusta. She was never the kind of aristocratic lady who would only cling to men in the traditional sense. Since she was a child, she was more interested in politics and military affairs than female celebrities and dolls. She is The kind of woman who has brains and opinions and is not lacking in political skills at all.

If it weren't for marrying William I, if she married Russia as far away as Ekaterina, she might have a chance to become the third Ekaterina.

So don't underestimate Augusta, she really has two brushes. When she felt ignored by King William I and felt the other party's indifference, she was very competitive and suddenly wanted to prove herself to her husband. .

She wants to let this stubborn husband know how powerful she is,

Let the proud Hohenzollern family see how she turns clouds into rain!

So she didn't quarrel with William I, but returned to her dressing room with a cold face. She sat in front of the vanity mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, her chest rose and fell slowly, after a long time, she suddenly opened the drawer, took out a few letters from it and slowly unfolded them.

These letters were all correspondence between William I and her political allies when she stayed in the country during her exile in London. When the revolution broke out and forced William I to flee, Augusta had actually prepared for the worst.

She thought that her husband would never be able to return to the country, and that William I would lose the qualification to inherit the throne. When these worst situations happened, she did not allow herself to cry like an ordinary woman.

She is not that weak. On the contrary, she is already actively preparing. At that time, she contacted a group of political allies, preparing to push her son Frederick William Nicholas Carl to become the crown prince once William I lost the qualification to inherit the throne. Or directly try to get Frederick William IV to abdicate and let his son directly become the new king.

Don't underestimate Augusta's scheming and skill, she is fully prepared, no matter what kind of situation she is able to deal with as usual.

Of course, these methods are used for backup, and only when the worst happens, these methods can be used. And the development of things later also avoided her desperate situation, so these methods fell silent again.

Today, William I's attitude really made her too angry. She was eager to prove herself, and wanted to tell this mighty husband that she was no worse than him in politics, and even stronger than him!

Augusta returned to her study with these letters, and started writing letters again, contacting her former allies, lobbying eloquently, and plotting some preparations, as she sealed and stamped the envelope with wax With his own coat of arms, these terrible letters were delivered one by one.

And William I didn't know all this. He discussed military affairs with his younger brother Frederick Charles Alexander in his study, because from the beginning to the end he felt that the most important thing was the army, and only by firmly controlling the army In order to control this luxurious chariot of Prussia.

"The situation in the army is fairly optimistic. Most of the officers still agree with your leadership, especially those Junker noble officers. They are particularly dissatisfied with everything before, and eagerly hope that you will come back..."

William I was very satisfied with this. Although he no longer had the power to continue to control the cabinet, as long as the army was still facing him, everything would be fine. Now he just needs to continue to strengthen the connection with the old department in the army and wait for the time to change quietly. Once the time is right, he feels that he can get back everything he lost.

"Is the cooperation with the Russians reliable?"

It's just that Frederick Charles Alexander is not as confident as his second brother. On the contrary, he is very average in both political and military skills. He is terrified of this unpredictable political situation from the bottom of his heart. He is deeply afraid of King William I. Some action again offends the mob, and once again things get out of hand.

"Brother is very suspicious of this, he hopes that you will treat all this carefully!"

William I showed a dignified expression, not because his elder brother Frederick William IV's admonition touched him very much, but because he deeply felt that his elder brother had been frightened by the revolution, how could he be like Hohen? The members of the Sauron family are simply ashamed!

He feels that lack of courage and ambition is the biggest problem in the family right now. If everyone is so timid, it will only make those mobs more rampant, and then things will really get out of hand!

So he replied very seriously and definitely: "The Russians are reliable, and they have always been reliable in suppressing revolutions!"
