Chapter 1567 Frederick II

Zeng Yunfeng didn't want to join the chaos in Prussia. If something happened to Prussia, causing the country to split and die, it would not be a good result for Zeng Yunfeng, and it would even bring some bad effects.

However, judging from the current time, making friends with King Fitley II of Prussia is definitely a gain but not a loss.

But Zeng Yunfeng can't estimate the chances of Prussia winning the Seven Years' War. He can't put all his bets on Prussia. No matter how powerful Frederick II is, he can't let Zeng Yunfeng overwhelm him. All the chips on the table, not to mention the situation in Prussia is not optimistic.

Although it is more likely to win by pressing one side alone, especially this kind of leopard, it will also offend other countries.

Before Central America really stood up, Zeng Yunfeng didn't want to provoke the hostility of the entire European continent, but if he didn't make some gestures and seemed not too friendly, the trip to Brandenburg might not go smoothly.

According to the history that Zeng Yunfeng knew, Prussia would stand with Britain in the future, and Zeng Yunfeng didn't plan to go to war with Britain for the time being, at least not yet.

Central America survives in the cracks between the entire North and South American continents. Its strategic advantage is very obvious, but it is only a strategic advantage, and it does not mean that it has an advantage in all aspects.

With the development of North and South America, Zeng Yunfeng's Central American forces are definitely in the middle of the cracks. This is his own choice, no wonder others.

As a pirate force, there is no doubt that the Caribbean Sea is a very superior place with a long coastline.

It is especially beneficial for Zeng Yunfeng's power development. If his territory is inland, not only will the pirates not develop, but they will be contained.

Zeng Yunfeng didn't want his subordinates to become western cowboys.

And in another room of this castle, it is also brightly lit, with a warm bonfire, a fluffy carpet, and a mist of coffee. A man sits behind the table and picks up a coffee cup, sniffing it lightly. I enjoyed it very much.

"Well, the coffee from Central America really tastes unusual. Gris Allen must have given you a lot of these things!" The man sitting behind the desk who spoke was a man in his 40s with curly hair. Hair, body shape is not so strong, but looks a little thin, but there is another person sitting on the opposite side of the table in front of him, looking very cramped.

There was also a cup of coffee in front of him, "Your Highness, I am not very familiar with that Gris Allen, and it was not smooth to win him over! His tone is also very tight."

The man smiled, and then said: "I know, the Duke doesn't need to explain too much, some things are arranged by God, so don't rush!" He picked up the coffee in front of him, and took another sip gently , nodded approvingly.

"I seem to be fascinated by this smell. I never thought that such a thing would be born in a place full of jungles and almost no civilization."

As he was speaking, the man called the Duke picked up a box from his hand, offered it with both hands, and handed it to the middle-aged man's desk.

"Your Highness, this is a cigar from Panama, which is said to be able to relieve people's emotions! Would you like to try it!"

"Cigar?" This middle-aged man was none other than Frederick II. He was a little curious. He looked at the small box in front of him. He looked at the smooth surface of the box. He touched it with his fingers, but felt A little wood texture, very comfortable to the touch.

He opened the box, and inside were already rolled cigars.

"Yes, I smell a special fragrance. Is this a unique formula?" Frederick II asked without raising his head.

"It is indeed a unique formula!" The duke immediately replied, "This is a cigar that I spent a lot of money to bring back from Panama, and the local price is very high, each cigar is worth ten gold coins! Even more expensive in Europe!"

"Ten gold coins!" Frederick II subconsciously counted the cigars in the box, "Then that means, the cigars in this small box are worth two hundred gold coins!"

"That's right!" the Duke nodded.

"It's a huge profit!" Frederick II stroked the edge of the box with his fingers, but pressed the box with his left hand slightly, and he closed the box again. He didn't linger on the cigars in the box.

"What do you think of the man who came to the manor today?"

Hearing Frederick II's words, the Duke pondered for a while before saying: "That man entered the manor all the way very peacefully. I heard from Green that he didn't have too many emotions, but he seemed very calm. This is a surprise. Contrary to my expectations, knowing that entering Brandenburg, especially since the war in Prussia has just abated, he has no reason to appear so calm."

Frederick II tapped the table with his right index finger, "Do you think he is the person behind Gris Allen? Or just Gris Allen's connector?"

"I'm not sure about that." His Excellency the Duke obviously couldn't figure out what Frederick II was thinking, and he didn't dare to express his opinions casually.

Since Frederick ascended the throne, he has shown his own opinions, and he will not be easily swayed by other people's opinions. The Duke obviously knows some of the purpose of this visit.

Although he only guessed a little bit, he also knew that this was not something he could directly interfere with.

"Oh, right!" Frederick II asked, "How is Sophie doing?"

The Duke was a little stunned, with a sad look on his face, "Her experience is not very good. The relationship between the Russian crown prince and her can only be said to be not too difficult, but it is obviously not a normal relationship between husband and wife."

Frederick II sighed, "Maybe I was too eager and thoughtful enough, I didn't expect Sophie to follow in my footsteps."

"Your Highness, this is not your fault. It is Sophie's honor to marry the Russian Crown Prince, and it is also her mission! Your Highness, don't blame yourself!"

Frederick II waved his hand, indicating that the duke didn't need to say any more, "I understand Sophie's situation very well. Elizabeth and I were also married at the beginning. Although we seem to be very polite to each other, our relationship is very indifferent. It is a kind of sadness that people can be truly happy."

The Duke paused for a while when he heard this, and then persuaded: "Your Highness, I think you should get in touch with the queen more. After all, a child is extremely important to Prussia."

Frederick II's face froze, and he waved his hand again, "You don't have to worry about it, I will consider some things."

Speaking of which, Frederick II stood up, pulled his clothes, and said to the Duke: "Let's go, let's meet this person hiding behind the scenes, I want to see what kind of person he is. , can actually make people like Gris Allen choose to surrender."
