Prince William's attitude did not surprise Ron. Although in Ron's heart, having Prince William, who was closer to the military forces, serve as the Regent of Prussia was much better than the current King of Prussia, it did not mean he unconditionally supported Prince William's use of coup methods to seek this position.
Ron clearly understood that King Frederick (William I's brother) was not like Austria's dethroned Emperor Ferdinand. Even if his ideas were not favored by the military high command, he still had a group of soldiers loyal to him.
Not to mention that the newly established "Prussian Constitution" forced King Frederick to gain the support of some liberal parliamentarians. If the military chose to depose the King of Prussia, then there would inevitably be large-scale turmoil within Prussia, which could even lead to a civil war.
