Chapter 1573 The Territory of the Sea

It seems that Frederick II is well aware of the dilemma he is facing now.

In fact, speaking of the entire European countries.Most of the nobles have some blood ties, and some are even relatives.

For example, the current King George II of the United Kingdom is related to the current Frederick II. George II took over the throne from his father George I, and a great relationship has benefited from him His father was Elector of Hanover.

George I was not an Englishman, he couldn't even speak English, but a person who can't speak English should inherit the British throne, which is ridiculous to say, but it is the case.

And later in the Seven Years War, Britain was able to come together with Prussia, and this kind of kinship between them also had a certain connection. After all, no one would give their backs to an untrusting partner.

But there is such a connection between Frederick II and the British royal family, the elector of Hanover.The Electors of Brandenburg belonged to one of the Electors of the Holy Roman Empire, not to mention that Frederick II was also related to the King of England, the Elector of Hanover, so it was logical for them to come together.

However, Zeng Yunfeng can also understand some of the worries raised by Frederick II. After all, in the current era, some things are not as simple as kinship?
There are conflicts between kings and kings, nobles and nobles, let alone others.

It can be seen from the internal struggle of the Holy Roman Empire itself, as evidenced by Prussia's capture of Silesia from Austria.

You must know that the Habsburg royal family has a little connection with several electors of the Holy Roman Empire, and even the kings were conferred by others, but the king of Prussia, Frederick II, did not hesitate took Silesia from Austria.

So kinship is just a pretext, and it is used to make diplomatic breakthroughs between countries.

As for Frederick II's investment in Russia, in the current period of time, it really seems to have been in vain, and it has not achieved any significant results, and it even feels a little like shooting a stone in his own foot.

But Zeng Yunfeng knew very well what kind of person Yekaterina would become in the future?It can be said that she was the most feared monarch on the entire European continent before Napoleon stepped onto the stage of history, and she was also a female monarch.

She can be crowned the title of the Great, which is enough to show how shockingly she has had an impact on Europe, Central Asia, Crimea and other regions in the current era.

From Ekaterina and Frederick II, it can be seen that the Kingdom of Prussia attaches great importance to the education of its children and offspring. Even Ekaterina, the married woman All have achieved extraordinary success since then.

And Ekaterina's grandson, later Alexander I was the emperor who defeated Napoleon.

From this point of view, Princess Sophie, who has an extremely close relationship with Frederick II, is obviously also a remarkable figure, which is inseparable from the Duke's family education, and of course it is more of a personal later. s hard work.

In fact, Zeng Yunfeng really wanted to get in touch with Sophie, but after thinking about the relationship between Gris Allen and her, he naturally gave up this idea.

It may not even be known whether Ekaterina's son was born with her husband Peter. It can be seen that Gris Allen has a great chance.

From this point of view, Ekaterina, a woman in the deep palace of Russia, obviously suffered some major changes in her life and life, and this major change brought about the entire Russian Empire. The re-emergence of the European Union and the changes in the situation across the European continent.

Zeng Yunfeng shook his head on the other side, and said straight to the point: "Your Highness, in my opinion, instead of discussing these empty things that don't have much use for you and me, it's better to be more practical."

Frederick II immediately sat upright, "So you want to talk to me about something that might be more practical?"

"Your Highness, you and I are very aware of the current situation of Prussia. Even if Prussia has achieved a certain status in the entire European continent, Prussia's overseas expansion is still blank, but there are many overseas colonial territories waiting for various countries to open up, but Prussia Because of the sea area, it was completely stuck in the Baltic Sea. From this point of view, I think what Prussia hopes to get out of this area and go further afield."

The king of Prussia, Frederick II, tapped his right hand on the table, obviously thinking about Zeng Yunfeng's words.

"Then what can you bring me?"

Zeng Yunfeng smiled and said, "A chance!"

"A chance?" Frederick II was a little puzzled.

"Yes, it is an opportunity. Since Portugal and Spain divided the world, colonies have been developed very quickly, but after that, Britain and France have also joined the corresponding ranks. The Netherlands has not shown any weakness, and the speed is faster. Fewer and fewer."

"But nowadays it is difficult for a country like Prussia to have a hand in the world. This has to be said to be a pity."

"You can only watch Britain and France redefine the ownership of colonies in the world, and you can only stay in the European continent. Your Highness, don't you have a little consideration?"

Frederick II sighed, "But as you said just now, our shipping is stuck in the Baltic Sea, and we are not so free to open up outside. The mess of the Holy Roman Empire alone is enough for me to worry about."

It is undeniable that West Prussia and South Prussia, plus the land of New East Prussia in the future, are very coveted. Basically, these lands, especially West Prussia and South Prussia, plus New East Prussia and Silesia These territories were all brought back by the Frederick II in front of him from various countries, and they all relied on wars.

But wars are not to say that there is no price at all, on the contrary, they will bring a lot of trouble and suffering to the people of the country.

After Brandenburg gained the jurisdiction of East Prussia, many things followed.

If Prussia wants to develop and grow, it is absolutely inseparable from a strong industrial base and a strong military force. It can be said that Prussia is a country with a very high conscription rate in almost the entire Europe, but thanks to the former Teutonic Knights, they are in the army. In terms of construction, it is far beyond their surrounding countries.

This is the reason why their Prussia can continue to invade other people's territory on the mainland, and the territory has gradually expanded as a result.

But these do not mean that today's Prussia can also make some achievements at sea.
