On February 19, 1744 he was appointed major general and on April 22, 1744 he received approval to join his regiment. On May 15, 1744 he received a letter from the king asking him to train horses and teams. On December 28, 1744, he entered Zülichau with his regiment. He also took part in the Second Silesian War . On April 5, 1746 he received his resignation with a pension of 600 thalers and income from the regiment for life. Nevertheless, Dieury asked permission to return to Hungary with his son - a lieutenant in the hussar regiment. The permit was granted on May 1, 1746, and he should also receive his pension there.
