William looked at the calm face of Catherine II and felt a little scared. Prussia was in a critical period right now. Even if it wanted to fall out with the Russians, it would be asking for trouble before the reform was completed.
, in order to temporarily reassure the queen in front of him, William said:
"Your Majesty the Queen, I think that during the Austro-Prussian War, the ordinary people of Austria paid a heavy price for their monarch's stupidity, but for the sake of the fact that they are also God's people, I think we should give the Austrians a chance.
"William began to persuade tactfully from the side.
"No, the Austrians believe in Catholicism. They have long forgotten the true teachings of God. For these very few lost believers in God, I think we have an obligation to teach them to re-recognize the true teachings of God."
Catherine II said righteously, but after hearing what she said, William suddenly lost his composure.
What do you mean by a lost person among God’s believers? From the mainstream point of view in continental Europe, your Orthodox Church is the real one, right? According to you, we in Prussia believe in Protestantism, aren’t we also one of the lost people in your words?
"Your Majesty the Queen, I think after this war, the Austrians will understand Her Majesty the Queen's desire to save them," William said vaguely
"Your Majesty William, let's talk about something practical. Our country believes that for the sake of harmony and stability in Eastern and Central Europe, Prussia should terminate various agreements with the Swedes. At the same time, the Prussians should support our country's territorial distribution.
Position" Catherine II saw that William was always unwilling to express his position, so she had to force William to express his position.
"Your Majesty the Queen, what is the current situation in the Crimean Peninsula occupied by your country?" William did not respond directly to Catherine II's question but instead became concerned about the Russian rear.
"The Crimean Peninsula is very peaceful now. People of all ethnic groups are living very happily under the governance of our country. Your Majesty, please do not avoid my questions." Catherine II did not want to say too much about the situation in the Crimean Peninsula.
many
"Your Majesty the Queen, as far as I know, the situation in the Crimean Peninsula is not as peaceful as you said. It is said that uprisings in Crimea against Russian rule are coming one after another. Your country should not be easy." William said to Yekaterin
Na II's first army.
"Those are trivial matters. A small group of opponents will not cause much trouble," Catherine II said confidently.
"But Your Majesty, it is said that since your country signed the Treaty of Kainarki with Ottoman Turkey in 1774, forcing Ottoman Turkey to pay 45 million rubles in military compensation to your country, and at the same time cede a large area of land along the northern coast of the Black Sea, the current Ottoman
Caliph Abdul Hamid I couldn't wait to start various reforms as soon as he came to power. Faced with such an enterprising monarch, I think Russia's pressure on the Crimean Peninsula should not be small at all." William Cozy
said
"Oh, thank you His Majesty the King for your concern for our country. Our country has the ability to cope with various challenges. Some clowns will not cause much trouble to the powerful Russian Empire," Catherine II said proudly
"However, it seems that the Ottomans are not ordinary clowns. These people are not the people of God who believe in God. They are all pagans. So I think both Austria and the Russians should concentrate their efforts on attacking the Ottomans."
William said in a diversionary way
"Then I don't know how His Majesty William thinks we should fight against these heretics." Catherine II was very interested when she heard that William wanted to fight against the Ottomans together.
"First of all, in order to reach an understanding between countries, I think your country should return the Moravia region. Of course, in order to safeguard Russia's interests, I think the Austrian Poland region should continue to be managed by Russia. At the same time, in order not to allow aliens to
Believers have tarnished the glory of God. For example, Moldova and Wallachia should be ruled by Russia, which serves God. I think the three countries of Prussia, Austria and Russia should protest to the Ottoman Sultan on this issue. If the Ottoman Sultan is not wise, I think
Austria and Russia should work together to teach the Sultan a lesson. Austria, Russia, and the Ottomans all have various interests in the Black Sea region. I believe that Her Majesty the Queen will be more considerate than I think."
William stated his request and also threatened the Russians appropriately. If Prussia and Austria can work together with Russia to put pressure on the Ottomans, they can also work together with the Ottomans to deal with Russia.
"Since Your Majesty said so, for the sake of the friendship between our country and Austria, our country is willing to return the Moravia region, but I don't know what kind of custody law the Austrian Poland region is." Catherine II
continue to ask
"Hostship, as the name suggests, means management on your behalf. This area can be managed by the Russians for a period of time or the Austrians can pay to redeem this area. You can't let your country suffer," William said with a smile.
"Then I have to thank Your Majesty for your generosity," Catherine II said with a smile.
"I deserve your Majesty the Queen's gratitude. Your Majesty the Queen, I believe that the hundreds of years of hatred between Russia and the Ottomans cannot be decided by one or two wars. Russia still needs to do a lot," William said.
William said deeply, and then William took Rocks out of the room.
Seeing William's leaving back, Paul glanced at his mother again and then lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
After William left, Catherine II sat in a chair blankly until she caught Paul's eyes from the corner of her eye and sighed subconsciously.
Looking at her son's face that was very similar to her husband's, Catherine II felt extremely annoyed. Her son's character flaws were very obvious: he was irritable, timid and suspicious, and his actions were inconsistent.
What people are slightly more praised for is that he is a devout Orthodox Christian who spends a lot of time praying every day. This made Catherine II dumbfounded.
Thinking of the little guy she met tonight and looking at her son's performance, Catherine II couldn't help but feel a little worried. The situation in Austria was similar. The rulers of Russia also had weak successors. Catherine II
The world does not want its empire to decline by its descendants after his death. Therefore, Russia must concentrate its efforts to completely defeat an enemy, rather than making enemies everywhere. He is already fifty-one years old, and in the future, more depends on young people.
of.
It was with this mentality that Catherine II would agree to return the Moravia region to Austria and accept the conditions proposed by William. If she were made ten years younger, perhaps what she would do is to immediately order
The army went to war against Prussia.
While Catherine II's thoughts were changing, William's little heart was also secretly rejoicing that it was really not easy to convince Her Majesty the Queen.
