War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

News of the failure of the constitutionalists (referring to the National Assembly in Frankfurt) immediately spread throughout the entire German region via telegraph lines. At this moment, the orthodox factions stood up again and mobilized troops to serve the king.

The overwhelming orthodox army rushed towards the areas controlled by the constitutionalists, and each country gave very "sacred" and "reasonable" reasons.

The liberal areas chose to cut off their ties with the constitutionalists. While they sent out troops to respond to the Austrian Empire's call, they stepped up efforts to build their own defenses. At the same time, countless lobbyists began to travel among the states with gold, silver, and beauties.

Little do they know that their fate has already been priced, and all their efforts will eventually be in vain.

William IV looked at the battle report in his hand with an uncertain expression. He didn't know whether he should be happy, angry, or afraid.

The battle between the Austrian Empire and the National Assembly was so easily decided, and now Franz turned the battle into a battle between the Orthodox and the Constitutionalists.

William IV couldn't even find a reason to continue to stand on the sidelines, but he felt very unwilling to do so. Obviously everyone was a king and a great power, so why could Prussia only follow Austria's footsteps. Why?

William IV firmly believed in the divine right of kings, but both the Protestant and Catholic churches scorned him.

What made him even more upset was that his brother actually did not obey his orders and led troops to Cologne, and judging from the results, he was once again proven wrong.

Berlin, City Palace.

The man's body was swinging in the air, and he could only use his toes to find support on the stool, desperately trying to continue his life.

In the solemn and sacred cathedral, behind a heavy oak door is the archbishop's room.

"Pervert! You'd better go to hell!"

However, the atmosphere in the room was extremely strange. A fat man had a thick hemp rope tied around his neck, and the other end of the hemp rope was tied to the beam.

The young nun said angrily, feeling sick at the thought of that sanctimonious hypocrite.

However, at this time Prussia had to accept this "happy ending". A scapegoat who died inexplicably could not calm William IV's anger at all, but he did not dare to do anything because the new Archbishop of Cologne was backed by Austrians.

"They said they were giving you a gift you couldn't refuse."

Coupled with the transfer of the financial center, in the foreseeable future, the German Confederation will inevitably be the voice of the Austrian Empire.

William IV had absolutely nothing to do about the Austrian Empire's forcible transfer of the headquarters of the German Confederation to Vienna and the evacuation of the financial center of Frankfurt.

The three nuns walked out of the archbishop's room one after another. Many people saw this scene, but no one thought there was anything wrong.

Cologne, Rhine Region, Prussia.

Although the Archbishop of Cologne died, the influence of the church has not disappeared. Prussia will be in a dual system for a long time in the foreseeable future. This is what makes William IV most angry.

The attendant carefully walked to William IV and whispered.

Although Franz's letter was written in a consultative tone, the entire German region knew that this was an order.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the hotel, and most of the constitutionalists and their supporters were captured on the spot. Edouard Simson and Gabriel Riesel escaped from Cologne with only a dozen people.

"Please, let me go, I can give you a lot of money. Uh-huh."

Of course, the new archbishop was also Franz's, but someone with better control and less ambition came to power.

The young nun kicked the stool under the man's feet, and the man who lost support immediately began to struggle, but it was obviously of no use. With the sound of bones breaking, the man stopped struggling.

"I can appoint you abbot, I can build a monastery for you, and I can introduce you to strong men."

A deep sense of powerlessness invaded William IV's whole body. He didn't know what to do, let alone whether he was right or wrong.

The archbishop's suicide note pointed the finger directly at Edward Simson. The archbishop claimed that it was Edward Simson, a Jew, who had corrupted him with sugar-coated bullets.

A round-faced little nun is cleaning the room, a tall young nun is getting dressed, and a plump nun is coldly placing a confession book prepared in advance on the table.

Edouard Simsson, Gabriel Risel, and a few dozen members of the National Assembly fled to Cologne after all the hardships, but the next day they received the news that the archbishop had committed suicide out of fear of guilt.

"What do these two guys want to do?"

The result of resistance is to be sent to a sanatorium like several grand dukes and princes brainwashed by liberalism, and even the country and political power are forced to be transferred to the hands of some big Germanists.

But William IV was not at all happy to take back his country without losing any blood. He was only full of regrets about why he did not send troops to the Rhineland earlier. He could have solved the problems caused by the church once and for all.

"No, no, no! Where did you want to go? I mean, take a break from him."

"Idiot! Ella, Laura is right. How do you know that this kind of person is telling the truth? What if it is a trap? Don't do unnecessary stupid things because you think you have a chance to win."

The young nun who was getting dressed said angrily, and the two nuns beside her also showed displeasure.

The exquisite sculptures and historical murals in the room complement each other, and the sun shines through the stained glass with saints.

The envoy of the new Archbishop of Cologne has come to William IV. The Archbishop of Cologne swore allegiance to William IV, and the Rhine region returned to Prussia.

The Cologne Church immediately elected a new archbishop, and this operation was approved by Pope Pius IX.

"Lie! I wish you a lifetime of poverty!"

The plump nun obviously played the role of captain among the three. After a lecture, she hit the round-faced nun on the head.

William IV felt that as long as Franz wanted, no one would object to dismembering Prussia into two parts, east and west.

The round-faced nun who was cleaning the room sighed.

"What happened again?"

"What's so sad? What's so sad about this guy who betrayed the doctrine and fooled the people? Do you really think he can remove the uncleanness from you?"

The new archbishop immediately announced that he had joined the Orthodox Party and searched the city for the remnants of the Constitutional Party.

At this time, a servant walked in with a panic, and an ominous premonition once again enveloped William IV.

The round-faced nun felt pain, covered her head and ran away with a grimace.

"What's the use of our money?"

"Your Majesty, Edward Simson and Gabriel Rissel want to see you."

"Hey, what a pity!"

"Gift?"

William IV sneered in his heart, but the education he received since childhood still made him look calm.

"Prepare dinner."
