Chapter 10 The Surprise in Prussia
() Reflecting on the Russian battle in Poland, I spent an hour writing out the main points of the battle against the Russians. At 11:30, after lunch at the ambassador's residence, Werner and Imas
She hurried back from outside in a hurry.
Werner nervously asked all the attendants in the hall to exit. He glanced around for a week, very cautiously, and whispered in my ear: "Your Highness, something bad is going on! Something has changed in Prussia!"
Prussia?
The hometown of female literary youth?
Werner panicked and took out a piece of paper: "The secret letter from the Empire Assassin was received just a moment ago!"
I took the letter and read the information on the paper in one breath. I immediately felt a chill running down my spine.
King Frederick of Prussia suffered a stroke a few months ago and was bedridden, delirious and unable to handle state affairs. Now a man named Hedwig Friedrich von Otto and the party he spent a long time forming temporarily temporarily
He took over the power of the entire Kingdom of Prussia and announced this edict in Berlin two days ago. He and his followers will become the ruler of the kingdom before the Prussian prince returns!
"That Otto! What is his status and political leanings?" I held my breath and looked at Werner, but an answer vaguely emerged in my mind.
Werner said solemnly: "Sweden! Otto is famously pro-Swedish in Prussia! He is not only the court minister of the King of Prussia, but also the diplomatic adviser. He is also a Prussian Junker landowner!"
"Okay, is the news reliable?"
With Werner's nod, I called Leon. I asked him to take all my attendants to the summer palace and ask where Feletelia was. If anyone stood in their way, no matter who it was, they would be killed.
We need to bring Philetelia back to the Roman ambassador's residence.
The king has lost his mind. Whether he inherits the throne in the future or takes over the throne in his stead, Philetlia will be the first choice as the first heir. But Otto kept the news secret, and even won over the party members, declaring himself the
Acting as the governor, he took the power of the Kingdom of Prussia into his hands, and there was little hope that he would return power after Philetelia returned.
In other words, if Philetria wants to regain the throne, she must use force. I don’t quite remember such a drama in history!
Maybe this is the butterfly effect.
What comes to mind is the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia, the traditional fiefdoms of the princes of Brandenburg, Neumark, Altmark, Ruping, and Potsdam. These major areas constitute the main territory of the Kingdom of Prussia today. In addition, the recent transfer from Poland
It swallowed up the territory there and scattered territories scattered in central Germany. Prussia’s territory included a large area in northeastern Germany. Any country that wants to reach Northern Europe from Central Europe, or Eastern Europe to the West
In Europe, the flat Kingdom of Prussia is undoubtedly the best choice compared to the mountainous Austria. Naturally, the Kingdom of Prussia assumes the responsibility of becoming a transportation hub for the three regions of Eastern Europe, Central Europe, and Northern Europe. In the increasingly fierce battle for hegemony in Northern Europe,
The role played by Prussia is also becoming more and more important. This is why I can use my background as a female literary youth to seduce a large group of priests and nobles. Prussia is indeed very important emotionally and rationally.
Looking at the geographical location, if Russia wants to advance westward into Swedish territory in Germany, Prussia will be the first to bear the brunt. Assuming that Prussia cooperates with the Russians, then the Swedish territory from Pomerania to the Ridland Peninsula will not be peaceful.
, it is bound to make the defense in Northern Europe
The Swedes, who control the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Riga but are short on military strength, feel like they have a sharp edge on their backs. Similarly, the Swedes allied with Prussia. Prussia was the bridgehead for the Swedes to defend the territory of the Ridland Peninsula and strengthen their control of the Baltic Sea, and it could also share the burden from the Ming Dynasty.
Russian military pressure on Sksk.
No wonder the Swedes' enthusiasm for the empire suddenly cooled down, but if you think about it from the Swedes' perspective, they still very much need Rome to share the pressure from Russia in the south of Poland. However, due to the existence of Prussia, although Rome's help is important,
But it is no longer necessary. And with the alliance with Prussia, the Swedes have a lot more confidence to speak.
"Those hateful guys. We were fighting life and death in the south, and the Swedes actually got a big advantage at this time. This allowed us in Rome to deduct a lot less things from the Swedes." Imas
The Viscount said angrily in the hall.
Werner responded with a grimace: "Yes, Caesar's order is to use the Swedes in the alliance to continuously put pressure on Austria, thereby forcing new agreement terms that are beneficial to the empire. Now that Sweden has done something like this, we
The value of Rome has been replaced by Prussia, so how can we complete Caesar's instructions!"
I raised my eyelids: "Things are not as bad as I thought."
Werner couldn't help asking: "What should we do now?"
"Yes, Your Highness, what should we do?" Imas also asked.
My first thought was to help the female literary youth. Even if the two of us are not very good friends, we have been on the battlefield together after all, although most of the time, the female literary youth is paddling.
"Rome does not need two Caesars."
"But Caesar is in Constantinople! Please don't shirk your responsibilities as an heir to the empire!"
I thought helplessly before saying: "Send the news to the Russians. They know they will be more anxious than us in the future. You must know that even if Russia has the strength to fight with Rome and Sweden, they don't have the courage."
.”
"What about the Austrians?"
I think of Frietelia's comment on Leopold III: "Prussia has always been friendly with Austria. If Prussia changes, Austria will never sit idly by. If Sweden does this, the bargaining chip in our hands will be even greater."
!”
"It seems to be true! Your Highness, please allow me to resign. I want to send a message to the Russians and give them a good headache!"
Werner went out to take the information we received to the Russians and let them understand their current situation.
It was around eight o'clock in the evening when night fell, and Leon came back with Philetlia. Of course Philetlia, who didn't know what was going on, asked about the situation, and I handed her the letter in my hand.
Feletelia took the letter, and within a few seconds, her pupils suddenly shrank, and the more she read, the more panicked her eyes became.
In ten seconds, Feletelia read the entire secret letter, but she was stunned for several minutes.
"Is this true? My father is unconscious!" She put the letter back on my desk, still afraid to face the reality.
I collected the letter: "I have no reason to lie to you."
Feletelia was a little confused: "God, what should I do?"
I have also thought about what I would do if I were in the position of a female literary youth: "Reveal your identity. You should stand up now and tell everyone that you are in Vienna."
"Tell everyone? Why?" Feletelia couldn't help but grab my hand. She was very nervous and her palms were sweaty.
"The letter says that your father became insane a few months ago. Before you go back, that Otto and his henchmen will be in charge of the country's affairs. Once they come to power, of course they will exclude everyone who will be loyal to you.
Drive out of the center of power, so the sooner you disclose your identity now, the more powerful you will be to fight Otto and his henchmen, and the more you can stabilize the hearts of those who are loyal to you, and make those who follow Otto
shake."
"Yes, yes! I'm going to find my cousin right now!" Feletelia responded very quickly, so quickly that even I was surprised!
Leopold III was indeed a suitable person to replace Philetelia and tell the King of Prussia, "I am in Vienna." As mentioned before, Prussia was located at an important hub, which meant that it was surrounded by enemies on all sides, so it is not difficult to imagine that
There will be many differences in domestic and foreign policies. Some advocate uniting with Sweden to fight against Russia, some try to unite with the Russians to kick Sweden, and some propose that Austria
, Saxony is dominating Northern and Central Europe. Austria and Prussia are adjacent to each other. Now Leopold III has made a statement as soon as he speaks. This will undoubtedly be a boost for the continued support of the pro-Austrian royal party in Prussia.
To become the most powerful competitor against Otto and his henchmen, as long as it is handled properly, it is still unknown who will win.
Is this what the cheap daddy said about the life and death of the Holy Roman Empire?
