Fortunately, the powerful Tsarist Russia declined.

But the worry is that without the powerful assistant of Tsarist Russia, the Habsburg family is a little helpless.

Coupled with the re-emergence of the Ottomans...

This gave Theresa a little headache.

Frederick II of Prussia was definitely going to cause trouble again.

She couldn't sit still and wait for death.

For Teresa, and even for Eastern Europe and Europe as a whole, it is a cancer. The key to this cancer is that it is powerful even in a war. To put it this way, it is better to say that Frederick II was a hungry wolf than a cancer. This guy, whose surname has a deep connection with Habsburg, dealt a devastating blow to the Habsburg family.

But whether it was the strength of France, the support of Britain, or the help from Tsarist Russia, she had no better way to deal with Frederick II.

This time there are drastic changes in Eastern Europe.

She felt that Frederick was definitely going to cause trouble.

But with whom?



With whom?

When Liu Zheng's plan to enter Europe was announced, the entire parliament was in an uproar.

Europe?

The people in these parliaments are no longer the kind of people who didn't open their eyes to see the world before. Of course they know that besides Longyan, there is a more exciting place on this planet, and that is Europe. The excitement of this place is no less than that of Longyan. And with the confirmation of Britain's hegemony, these people in the Parliament are still very interested in Europe.

"Frederick?"

A congressman stood up and asked: "My lord, why is it Frederick and not Britain or France? Or Ottoman?"

Others nodded.

No one knows much about Prussia.

But although the situation in Europe is confusing, France, a traditional power, and Britain are both there.

Why find a Frederick?

Liu Zheng chuckled: "It's very simple, Frederick needs us the most. And we also need a reason to participate in other people's affairs."

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Other people’s affairs?

Not to mention, these messy things in Europe have always been my own family's business. They have always regarded themselves as traditional and noble, just like the Habsburg family and the emperors back then. They can trace their lineage back to Caesar. This is their capital, and it is also a legal status.

Many countries do not support Theresa's dominance precisely because she is a woman, the daughter of Charles VI, and there are many people who are more qualified to be king than her. That's why they introduced a puppet like Charles VI.

Liu Zheng wanted to enter Europe just to deal with people who were related to his family tree.

Therefore, he is always an outsider.

Although Genghis Khan conquered Europe back then, he was never able to dominate it for a long time because he was always an outsider.

The invasion of outsiders will definitely cause the unity of divided Europe. If they come together to deal with Liu Zheng, this will not be easy.

Liu Zheng continued to laugh and said: "Everyone, if we want to enter Europe, then the location of Prussia is very important. You can take a detailed look at the map of Europe."

With that said, Liu Zheng took out the map he had prepared long ago.

If you want to study Europe, you can ignore Britain and France for the time being. Because the direction of Long Yan is from Asia. The first place I came into contact with was Eastern Europe. At this time, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the French Empire were both in Western Europe. Therefore, the hatred between the two of them was the deepest and had the greatest influence. However, we must pay attention to one issue: why Britain's support to Austria can only be in the form of loans, because their infantry is really not good. It is difficult for the British Army to pass through Central Europe, and it is unrealistic to receive support from the Rhine League, Prussia, or Ottoman.

Eastern Europe is about Eastern Europe, and Eastern Europe is the wonderful thing about Eastern Europe.

Britain and France are somewhat beyond our reach.

Liu Zheng continued to laugh and said: "Furthermore, colleagues, what Long Yan wants this time is not an equally matched partner!"

"But a master who likes to cause trouble!"

“This person must be Frederick II!”

These words were so decisive that everyone's eyes lit up, and they began to look at each other and talk about it.

Yes.

If they cooperate with Britain or France, the process may go smoothly. However, this fails to achieve their strategic goals. What they want is a puppet, an existence that they can abandon at any time after they succeed.

Prussia has such characteristics.

Because Prussia's territory is all plains, it lacks strategic depth. The surrounding powers have always been eyeing it, which increased the necessity for Prussia to establish a standing army. Taking the Thirty Years' War as an example, the Prussian population of Berlin dropped sharply from 14,000 to about 6,000. Hundreds of villages were razed to the ground, and wolves roamed everywhere.

Prussia often became a battleground for great powers to compete for hegemony. Therefore, the harsh geopolitical environment forced Prussia to establish a strong standing army.

Therefore, during the Prussian election, Frederick I established an army loyal to himself and defeated Sweden, the European hegemon at the time. As a result, Prussia became famous and the whole of Europe was shocked.

From then on, Prussia proved their existence with one war after another.

He has also been preventing others from eroding this country.

so.

In the eyes of others, Frederick was a mad dog.

But in Liu Zheng's view, he is a wise king.

He prevented his own country from being cannibalized and was just biting others like crazy.

At that time, the density of Prussian soldiers was very high. For every 32 people, there is one soldier. It can be said that all the people are soldiers. In the words of a European politician, "Other Western countries have an army, but the Prussian army has a country."

People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.

He did absolutely nothing wrong.

He likes people with this kind of personality.

Therefore, under his suggestion, Long Yan's parliament passed the first alliance with Prussia.

But Liu Zheng never expected it.

The extent of Frederick's madness completely exceeded his imagination.

Liu Zheng plans to take this matter step by step.

Because he wanted the feudal kings of Long Yan to send troops, he believed that as long as he made an agreement with them about sharing the cake, they would not refuse. No one would resist encroaching on a part of Europe.

but.

Liu Zheng has not yet started his actions.

After getting Liu Zheng's letter agreeing to form an alliance, Frederick II couldn't help it.

then.

The Seven Years' War broke out like this.

When Liu Zheng got the news, his whole body went numb.

Is this what people call a mad dog?
