    Soon after, two generals with the rank of Prussian major general on their shoulders walked into Bruneck's office.  When the two people entered the office, Bruneck only raised his head briefly to glance at them, and then lowered his head again.  The two generals who were summoned by Bruneke suddenly looked at each other in confusion.  These two are Fred and Arbery, members of the Third and Fourth Colonial Divisions.  "Your Excellency, Governor, what's wrong with you?" After a while, it seemed that he couldn't stand the dull atmosphere in the room, and Fred spoke bravely.  Fred and Albery were both pure Prussians. They were also the first officers to follow Bruneke to the North American colonies. Then, relying on their performance in the war, they gained Bruneke's trust.  Although Bruneck had been very serious with them in the past, he had never called them over without saying a word.  Hearing Fred¡¯s words, Bruneck raised his head again.  "What's wrong? It's too late to ask you to wait for a while? Fred, Arbery, you let me down so much!" As he said that, Bruneke began to look at the two generals in front of him in detail.  It seemed like it was the first day I saw it.  Alfred and Albery were shocked when they heard Bruneke's words. They asked themselves that they had not done anything extraordinary recently.  "Your Majesty the Governor, what's going on?" Who knew that it would be a good thing if Albery didn't ask. When Albery asked, he saw Bruneck suddenly jump up from the sofa like an enraged lion.  Then he stared at Fred and Arbery with red eyes and shouted angrily: "You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong! Look what nonsense you have done! Okay, just leave me one by one and think you are  How dare you risk the disapproval of the world to do such a thing. I killed you ten thousand times without wronging you!" Arbery felt a little aggrieved, but he was still in Brunet like Fred.  After Ke yelled, he immediately said: "Your Excellency Governor, please calm down!" "Calm down, calm down. Do you think that after becoming a division commander, I can't control you? You are as high as the sky and the emperor is far away, and you can do whatever you want. Yes.  No!" As he spoke, Bruneck picked up a document on the table and threw it at the heads of Fred and Arbery.  Bruneck's move made the faces of the two generals turn red. Afterwards, Fred was the first to couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty the Governor, if you have any questions, just tell me. Arbery and I have nothing to do with you.  We are loyal. If we make any mistake, please tell us directly. We don¡¯t want to suffer injustice!¡± As he spoke, Fred stiffened his neck and looked at Bruneck.  "Okay, it seems I was right. Your wings are really hard! I won't say anything more. You can read this document yourself!" After saying that, Bruneck pointed to a stack of documents on his desk.  The neat documents said to the two of them.  Hearing Bruneker¡¯s words, Fred and Albery looked at each other, and then the two of them stepped forward, picked up the document, and opened it.  As the files are flipped.  The flush on Fred and Arbery's faces had faded, replaced by paleness.  Fred put the file back to its original position with a pale face.  But it was obvious that his hands were shaking quite badly.  "Have you finished reading? Have I wronged you?" Bruneck said loudly to the two of them when he saw Fred gently putting the file back on the desk.  "Your Majesty the Governor, this must be intentional. You also know that there must be cases of empty pay in the army, but it is definitely not as much as what is stated in this document!" Fred said, but obviously from  It can be heard from his tone that he is not very confident.  "I don't ask whether the situation is serious or not, I just ask whether this matter has anything to do with you! Or how deeply you are involved!" After hearing Bruneke's words, from the words of Fred and Albery  There was a glimmer of light in his eyes.  "Your Majesty the Governor, this matter" "Don't play riddles with me, I want to know the complete truth of this matter. If you dare to hide anything, then I can guarantee that  , your heads will definitely become victims of the purge of military discipline!" After Bruneke's words, not only Fred, but also Arbery also had cold sweat on his forehead. ?When the two of them lowered their heads, Fred made an expression to Albery, and then Albery had to grit his teeth and said: "Your Excellency, Marshal, in fact, this kind of situation occurred during the reorganization process of the two divisions.  We know something about the situation. Many people are involved in this matter, including General Georg and Thofen. When General Georg came to us, he hoped that we could help.  The division did some tricks, of course, but he also promised not to go too far.  Because of General Georg's favor, and because Georg told us that the proceeds from this matter would be used to smoothen your relationship in Brandenburg, Fred and I  They will turn a blind eye to their affairs!  " After Arbery finished speaking, Bruneck was stunned on the spot and did not speak for a long time. Bruneck did not expect that this matter involved not only Fred and Arbery, but also Georg and Thofen.  They. Georg was one of the persons in charge of recruiting soldiers this time, and he was also the general in charge of the logistics of various divisions in the North American colonies. Another Thofen was also a close confidant of Bruneck, and had served as Bruneck's.  "  How much benefit has Georg given you!  " Faced with Bruneck's anger, Fred had no choice but to say frankly, "Georg gave me two manors and five thousand gold marks.  Arbery got a coffee plantation and 10,000 gold marks." "Okay, you guys are really capable. You actually got such a big fortune in a short period of time.  Why didn't you tell me earlier, how come I am not included in such a good business?  "Bruneck said with an angry smile. But after Bruneck finished speaking, Fred and Fred did not dare to continue. "You two have been accompanying me at the Governor's Mansion these days. This matter  I have ordered Scharnhorst to investigate the matter thoroughly. This is the biggest scandal in the history of our North American colonial government. You are not worthy of continuing to serve in the glorious Prussian army!  " Having said that, Bruneck seemed to have exhausted all his strength and collapsed on the sofa. " This matter has become very clear at this point, that is, it involves the military and political systems of the entire North American colony, and the generals and officials involved  They are all Bruneke's cronies. Under such circumstances, one cannot escape the responsibility for improper employment. Even if it is true as Fred said, Georg's matter will be broken.  If it is Bruneke's banner, then it means that Bruneke's political life will come to an end. After all, the people involved in this matter are Bruneke's cronies.  If Ke doesn¡¯t know, obviously not many people are willing to believe it. ¡°Mr. Governor, each of us is responsible for the work. Furthermore, according to what Georg said, the channel he found said that as long as he can raise 200,000 gold marks, then.  You can be guaranteed to become the chief official of the King's Ministry of Affairs. The money is almost ready now, and you only need to wait for two more months.  I think everyone will be fine!  " As if he couldn't bear to see Bruneck's current decadent look, Fred comforted him. "It's better that he didn't comfort him. As soon as he comforted him, Bruneck's face became even more decadent and gloomy.  "You know what the hell, news has come from Brandenburg. In less than half a year, I will be able to leave North America and return to Brandenburg. His Majesty the King has personally promised to leave a position for me!  Once this incident comes out, do you think there is still hope for me?  " As soon as Bruneck finished speaking, it immediately caused a huge wave in the hearts of Fred and Albery. They did not expect that Bruneck got the king without saying a word.  His Majesty¡¯s promise. But in this case, it would be a joke to collect two hundred thousand gold marks to open up relations with Brandenburg. It can even be said that they are doing a disservice! ¡°Okay, I will bring Geo.  As for you two, I will let someone arrange for you to stay. You'd better pray that Scharnhorst doesn't mean to kill them all, otherwise no one can protect you, and even I will be killed by you!  ¡± After saying that, Bruneck ignored the two men and got up and left the office.    With William's intervention, Neville, who had been driven to Holstein before, immediately received a transfer order to return to Brandenburg. Seeing this transfer order, he was heartbroken.  The excitement on Will's face was palpable. He couldn't wait to talk to that person.He entertained the well-informed people who came to congratulate him, and immediately rushed back to Brandenburg.  After learning that Neville had returned to Brandenburg, William also summoned him in the Brandenburg Palace.  This is the second time William has met Neville. Of course, because of the rush of time, William did not take a close look at Neville the first time, so this time can also be said to be the first official meeting between William and Neville.  This meeting was arranged by William in the main hall of the Brandenburg Palace.  After Neville arrived, except for a few attendants, the rest were driven out of the palace.  Of course, there are other people in the palace at this moment. Members of the Hohenzollern royal family, including Christine and Louise, are all in the palace, but they are all hiding in the rooms on both sides of the hall.  This room has been additionally processed. At least the figures in the palace can be vaguely seen through the walls and conversations in normal tones can be heard.  "Hello, Your Majesty!" Under the leadership of the guards, Neville walked into the palace, and when he saw the young figure wearing a full black military uniform, he immediately saluted.  It¡¯s true that my time in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not in vain. At least Neville was still decent in terms of etiquette and no one could fault him.  Faced with Neville¡¯s respectful greetings.  William just nodded lightly and said: "There is no other reason for calling you here this time. I just want to see who can make my sister desperate. Neville, I won't say much else.  I just want to ask you, what kind of life can be called happiness!" William went straight to the topic as soon as he came up, and his eyes looked at Neville a little aggressively.  Facing William¡¯s gaze, Neville only felt his scalp numbing.  ¡¯ The person he was talking to right now was the Lord of Prussia, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire!  This is no joke.  If there is anything wrong with him in the slightest, not only will he no longer want to associate with Christine, but his life and fortune will be in great danger by then.  "Dear Your Majesty. I think a happy life is when two people love each other. My love for Christine is absolutely sincere and sincere. I can swear to God! If I can go with Christine  Together. Then I will use all my body and mind to love and protect her!" "Why do you?" Sitting on the throne in the palace.  William did not have any emotional fluctuations because of Neville's beautiful words, and still spoke in a calm tone.  "Oh, is happiness really enough to be in love with each other? I don't deny the greatness of love, but Neville, you must also understand that without bread, the so-called happiness does not exist at all. This must be true for you who have lived at the bottom since you were a child.  You know better than me! To be honest, I doubt your motives for getting close to Christine. Don¡¯t tell any lies in front of me, otherwise you won¡¯t be able to bear that outcome!  ¡± As William¡¯s words fell, Neville¡¯s face became a little pale and ugly.  After a while, Neville said: "Indeed, Your Majesty said a lot, love without bread is not happiness, I can say that I understand this deeply, but Your Majesty, you also admitted that the greatness of love, as long as two people  If you really love each other, then the lack of materials is not a problem. Both people can use their own efforts to change their lives. Since life can be changed, why give up this love? " After Neville finished speaking, in the palace!  William didn't feel anything, but Christine in the room next to the palace was already in tears.  And seeing her daughter lose control because of the words of the boy outside, Louise's face was very ugly, but fortunately Anna on the side kept comforting Louise.  "Neville, if I give you the position of governor of a place and ask you to give up Christine, are you willing?" "Your Majesty, I refuse, I love Christine, so I will not give up!" Neville said these words  After that, William, who was sitting on the throne, stood up and walked down the steps to Neville and smiled at him.  William's smile seemed to give Neville great courage, and then William put his hand on Neville's shoulder and said: "Neville, to be honest, you are very good. Even I was impressed by you, but I  Now there is one last question: Christine is my favorite sister, the dowry I gave her.It¡¯s the whole of Western Lithuania, and you should understand the weight of that.  Tell me, if I marry Christine to you on the condition that your mother can only live in the Brandenburg Palace from now on, and your personal freedom will be restricted in the future, will you still  Are you willing to get together with Christine?  "After listening to William's words, Neville seemed quite excited. He immediately said: "I do!  " William, who was sitting at the top, smiled and said: "Very well, you go down first. I will give you an answer to this matter soon, my Grand Duke of Western Lithuania." After that, William placed it in Neville's house.  The hands on the shoulders were slapped a few more times. Then, Neville bowed to William and left the palace excitedly under the leadership of the attendants. After the palace door was closed, the door to the side room was opened immediately.  Louise hurriedly walked out and complained: "William, why didn't you agree to this boy without consulting me?  " Hearing Louise's complaint, the smile on William's face did not change. But at this moment, Christine happily walked to William's side and hugged William's arm hard and said with a tearful smile: "I  I just know that my brother is the best to me!  " William reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Christine's eyes and said: "You go down first, my mother and I still have something to say!  " After Christine left, the smile on William's face disappeared, and then he said to Louise: "There is something wrong with this Neville. You see, I want to detain his mother and restrict his personal freedom, but just now  Under such a harsh request, he didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately. It was obvious that either he really loved Christine to the extreme, or this person was definitely very scheming. At least he must have thought that I might  All requirements were met and rehearsed numerous times.  If it is the former situation, then I have nothing to worry about.  But if it¡¯s the latter situation, it¡¯s obvious that Christine absolutely cannot marry him!  "After speaking to Louise, William turned to Anna and said: "Anna, you first select some outstanding ones from the maids in the palace, and then I will let Hornde arrange to test this Neville, remember.  Be sure to live in a place you can absolutely trust!  " If you can survive my beauty test, or if you can survive the subsequent arrangements perfectly, then you will really be able to become my Grand Duke of Western Lithuania, Neville. " William thought in his heart. (To be completed  Continued.)
