William thought more, in addition to convincing Locks, once the war with the Russians began, William had to consider various aspects, such as what attitude the British, French, and Austrians would adopt once the war began, and whether the entire Holy Roman Empire would support Prussia in this war with the Russians.
Access to download txt novel // You must know that since the eighteenth century, the current Empress Catherine II has inherited the tradition since Peter the Great, and Russia has been constantly buying many small princes within the Holy Roman Empire, and it has been proved that the efforts of several generations of Russian monarchs have paid off, and there are now a large number of pro-Russian princes in the Holy Roman Empire.
William was not afraid of another Seven Years' War, but he had to analyze all the factors that could lead to success or failure in this war, and the British, needless to say, were now holding down the French in their colonies around the world, and had no power to help Prussia.
And France, because of the change of Queen Mary, France did not appear in the original world's decline, and the British won and lost each other in the competition for colonies around the world, and did not fall behind, and because of Mary's attention, France's army has been greatly developed, because of the Austro-Prussian War, Mary's impression of Prussia must be hostile, so Prussia must be on guard on the Western Front.
As for the Austrians, although they are now silently licking their wounds because of the defeat of the Austro-Prussian War, William believes that once Austria feels that it is profitable, it will definitely tear its skin with Prussia, and that Joseph II must always be eager to recover Silesia, Bohemia and other regions, so in these two regions, Prussia must always be on guard.
And Denmark, because of the hostility shown by Prussia some time ago, has deepened its alliance with the Russians, and if Prussia and the Russians go to war, Denmark will definitely rush up and bite Prussia hard.
It can be said that if the war between Prussia and the Russians shows a trace of defeat, the surrounding countries will be happy to take advantage of the fire to rob, in this case, William can't help but feel sad, of course, although there is a lot of bad news, but there are also favorable factors, some time ago the Prussian alliance made Sweden completely able to become Prussia's help, as well as Ottoman, although friendly exchanges with Ottoman can not allow Ottoman to join the Prussian side at the beginning of the war, but as long as Prussia can show its strength, The Ottoman sultan would have been tempted too.
Sweden fought several big battles with the Russians in this century, although it was more than one lost and won less, but the Swedish army was also tempered, and because the Swedish Gustav never forgot to lose to the Baltic coast in the Great Northern War, so once the Prussians went to war, Sweden was absolutely willing to help Prussia deal with the Russians.
As for Ottoman's reasoning, too, after considering it all, William's feelings for the Empress of St.
Petersburg were mixed.
William didn't know whether to say that the empress was impulsive or bold, and the external situation in Russia was not very good, and in such a situation, the empress would actually decide to make an enemy of Prussia, and Wilhelm did not know where Catherine II was so sure.
Did St.
Petersburg think that Prussia was Courland or Poland and could end the war in a short time and win!
Just when William was puzzled, Catherine II of St.
Petersburg had already received two reports on the movements of Russian troops in Poland.
One of the reports was submitted by the Governor of Russian Poland, in which the Governor informed Catherine II that nearly 10,000 Russian garrisons in Poland had left the garrison for some reason and were marching towards Prussia, and that Kutuzov, the Supreme Commander of the garrison, had borrowed from him a month's worth of logistical baggage for 20,000 troops in the name of Her Majesty's secret order.
After the governor learned that Kutuzov had the empress's secret order in his hands, he hurriedly provided Kutuzov with baggage, and according to his inquiry, he learned that the Russian army in Poland had all begun to prepare for war, and the governor politely proposed to the empress that the Russian Polish region was fully capable of providing enough baggage for the Russian army's military operations to use for 40,000 troops.
The second report verifies the governor's words, which clearly states that all the Russian troops in Poland have begun to mobilize, and that Kutuzov has also wrested the command of many Polish troops from the hands of many Polish nobles, and that nearly 10,000 Russian troops have marched to the Prussian region of East Prussia.
Looking at this report, the more I looked at Catherine II's face, the more unnatural it became, and then the empress's face was completely iron-blue, and at the same time, the hand holding the report was trembling unconsciously.
After seeing Her Majesty's gaffe like this, Crown Prince Paul on the side became more and more curious about the report, but now he didn't dare to speak rashly, looking at the Empress's face so bad, Paul didn't want to face the Empress's thunderous anger by himself.
After a while, the empress also felt her gaffe, she tried her best to control the anger in her heart, and at the same time held the trembling hand tightly with her other hand, hoping that the hand would no longer tremble, but the more the empress suppressed, the more angry her heart became, and in the end the empress could no longer control it.
I saw Catherine II suddenly stand up from the throne, pick up the furnishings on the desk and smash them, and the things that were regarded as treasures were smashed by the empress.
Until there was nothing left on the desk, the Empress sat back on the throne panting loudly.
Paul, on the side, was completely frightened by the empress's previous actions, and saw him standing in the corner with trepidation, and with him a group of ministers of the Russian cabinet and some nobles.
When the Empress was angry, no one here dared to intervene to stop her, and Catherine II had spent nearly twenty years and hundreds of thousands of heads declaring her majesty inviolable.
Therefore, a few people who had just been hit by the things thrown by the empress did not dare to snort, even if the head of an unlucky bastard was smashed, they did not dare to say a word.
Looking at the cowering appearance of the unlucky ghosts, the anger in the empress's heart subsided slightly, but as her eyes turned, Paul's face met the empress's eyes, and the anger in the empress's heart rose again.
There is no other reason, mainly Paul looks too much like his dead ghost father, as Paul grows up, the empress becomes more and more disgusted with him, and countless times the empress wants to depose Paul as crown prince, but whether it is the cabinet or the parliament, there are always a large number of senators who stand up and shout for Paul, forcing the empress's idea to be difficult to realize.
But the empress did not break off this idea, and as her grandson Alexander grew up, the empress saw in her grandson the hope of the Russian Empire reaching its peak, so the empress did not let Paul raise the wise prince, but the empress herself.
The discord between mother and son is not only in the upper echelons of Russia, but there is no one in all of Russia who is unaware of the contradictions between the mother and son.
Well, the topic ran away.
"You all come here, take these two reports and see them yourself," but the Empress had no strength to lose her temper anymore, and she sat on the throne and waved weakly to the crowd in the corner.
Hearing Her Majesty's voice, the crowd that had shrunk in the imposition hurriedly gathered, and Paul stepped forward to pick up the two reports on the desk and read them one by one.
The more I looked at it, Paul's face was like that of Catherine II before, a long face was completely pulled down, and after reading it, he did not say a word, but handed the report to the minister at hand.
After a while, there were exclamations of exclamation from the crowd, and soon the two reports were returned to the desk in front of the empress from the hands of everyone.
"Tell me, what do you think about this," Catherine said, seeing that everyone was standing in front of her with their heads bowed quietly.
Hearing Catherine II's words, no one spoke rashly, everyone was thinking about what to say.
It stands to reason that the unauthorized mobilization of troops without the order of the empress should be a death sentence, and Kutuzov's rash march to East Prussia without an order will only cause a war between Russia and Prussia, but Kutuzov is Her Majesty's favorite general, who knows what Her Majesty thinks in her heart, and if you don't find out the empress's thoughts, isn't it tantamount to looking for death.
Catherine II did not expect that after her words were finished, there would be a deathly silence, and seeing this, Her Majesty the Empress had no choice but to name her.
"Paul, as the crown prince of the Russian Empire, you come and tell me what you think".
Paul on the side didn't expect the empress to take the initiative to ask for his opinion, and when the empress's words landed, Paul was first startled, and then quickly spun in his mind.
People often have a bad impression of Paul, the crown prince looks like his father, not handsome or even a little dark, but it is undeniable that Paul is smart.
If he was not wise, how could Paul have retreated from all the court battles in such a way that Her Majesty could not find any reasonable reason to abolish him as crown prince.
Although Catherine II, in order to prove to the world the harmony of the royal family, would summon Paul to sit in on any major event, she never asked Paul's opinion, and even sometimes Paul took the initiative to ask the empress to ignore him.
That's why Paul was taken aback when he heard that the Empress was asking him to give him an opinion.

As the empress spoke, all eyes were on the crown prince, and some of the ministers who opposed Paul looked at Paul like monkeys, their eyes full of contempt and contempt.
