I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 43 The Crown Prince Talks About Your Dreams

Although Peter knew that Adelaide's words were wrong, he ignored it. The 12-year-old Adelaide was still too tender, but he could make a deep impression on her at this time.

In his opinion, Adelaide is nothing but the favorite daughter of Louis XV.

After all, apart from marrying, there are only a few daughters of European royal families who can make a name for themselves, and Adelaide is not one of them.

Peter said step by step:

"Adelaide, how do you think England should be conquered?"

Adelaide looked at Peter suspiciously, always feeling that he had no good intentions in asking this, but seeing his serious expression, she suddenly felt a little vain.

No matter what, this man is also the crown prince of Russia. His identity is there, he asked himself, even more important than his father.

The emperor asked her just to pet her and amuse her, and she knew it in her heart, but when Peter asked her, she suddenly felt grown up.

Adelaide thought about it seriously, summed up her previous thoughts of wanting to conquer Britain, and proudly said:
"It's very simple. I am the king's daughter, the princess of France. As long as I go to the front, the morale of the soldiers will be boosted. I love the soldiers. They support me. No matter what I do, I can win a battle!"

Looking at the childish light on Adelaide's face, Peter smiled and said:

"Then you haven't thought about failure. What if you fail and get caught? The British are not as easy to negotiate as I am. They will even give you kebabs."

Adelaide stared wide-eyed:

"I'm caught, huh...my great French princess will be...(⊙o⊙)..."

Looking at Peter's eyes, Adelaide felt that she should not be proud now, she pouted and said:

"If I'm caught, my father will definitely send troops to rescue me."

"But before they rescue you, they will do a lot of things to you, such as tearing off your clothes, making you feel great pain, and then draw pictures of your humiliation and send them to the French people. After being rescued, I will be ashamed to see others, and the best situation is to spend a miserable life in the monastery."

Adelaide said disdainfully:

"Isn't it just stripping clothes? Didn't you just strip them? I, Adelaide, frowned?"

Peter: ...

Is this Brain C?
Can this situation be the same?

This is the adult education of the French court?
He patiently said:

"I mean stripping naked. As for the great pain, I don't need to explain it."

Adelaide was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed. She looked at Peter as if she was facing an enemy, and shrank back.

Peter ignored her and continued:
"The battlefield is no child's play, Adelaide, without my help, let alone conquering England, you are not even qualified to go to the battlefield, do you understand?"

Adelaide blinked and said:

"Will you help me? You are the crown prince of Russia, why do you help me? Besides, you are still tying me up now."

Peter said:
"It's convenient for us to communicate. As for how to help, you can see the guard who arrested you."

Adelaide nodded.

Peter said:
"What do you think of their skills?"

Adelaide curled her lips and said:
"The strength is not bad, but it is far worse than our French."

Peter laughed and said nothing:
"That is, you French are very heroic. Under the leadership of King Louis XIV, you defeated many countries that prevented you from expanding, and established your position in Europe, but do you know what the Sun King ordered your father before he died? "

Adelaide was stunned and said:
"what?"

"He told your father to avoid war as much as possible and rest with the people."

Adelaide was stunned. It wasn't a secret. The other princesses might not care about it at all, but she knew about it. However, His Highness Peter, who is far away in Russia, how could he be so clear?

She was a little strange: "So?"

"So you can use our Russians to fight. You have seen the strength of our Russians. They are much stronger than Polish soldiers. A soldier only needs 15 taels of silver. You can fight wherever you want."

Peter bewitched.

"How much is 15 taels of silver?" Adelaide said blankly.

Peter said:
"Anyway, it's cheap. You can find out for yourself when you return to France."

Then he began to plant in Adelaide the idea that it would be more affordable to pay for the war.

In Europe in this era, the soldiers of many countries are the slaves of the monarch, and they can be rented out for money to make money, even if they are organized legions.

In the late stage of the Austrian succession war, the former elector of Poland and Saxony rented out his own soldiers. A soldier was priced at 15 taels of silver, which directly increased the income of his family by 50 taels.

Now that flintlock guns have become popular, a serf can become a soldier if he is trained in a barracks for three to five months.

Compared with other European countries, serfs in Russia are simply a huge resource. 90% of the population are serfs. Which country can do it?
Peter remembered that three years later, Britain and Russia signed the St. Petersburg Convention, one of which was the subsidy agreement.

Britain paid Russia a subsidy, and Russia provided a legion to assist.

The annual amount is 30 taels of silver, at least for five years.

If Russia can send troops to Hanover to protect the king's land of Longxing, Britain can pay an extra 120 million taels of silver every year.

If Britain and Russia reach an alliance, and Russia promises to fight against Britain's enemies, and it is impossible to negotiate a peace alone, Britain will pay another 1800 million taels of military expenses in principal and interest, which will be paid in 6 years.

Unfortunately, the grant agreement ended up falling through the cracks.

Because the British feel that giving the Russians money to support soldiers in peacetime is a brain problem.

But France is different. Peter has no intention of going against the trend of history. In the future Seven Years War, Russia, France and Austria are destined to be in the same camp. It is no problem to use French money.

As for what Russia lacks, Peter feels that everything is lacking. After all, the great nobles do not need to pay taxes to the country, but they have the most serfs in their territories, and they cannot be moved.

In addition to using steam engines and various measures to improve productivity, the current channels are really limited.

Peter knew that Adelaide could not be the master, but he was not in a hurry. It was still early before the Seven Years' War. He inherited the throne, and Adelaide had grown up for a while.

Plant the seeds for Adelaide first. She is a French princess, and it is easy to get close to Mrs. Pompadour. Peter believes that with his own efforts, he can probably get through the path of Pompadour, an unknown prime minister.

Even if it fails, there is nothing to lose.

"Adelaide, the two most powerful countries in the world are Britain and France. The British are brutal and rampant in the colonies. You French are different. You are spreading the seeds of civilization and are loved by the people of the world. admiration."

"You, France, are the only ones who can stop the UK. Although Russia has a heart, we have been poor for decades. If you pay us for military training, we are willing to fight for you, France!"

"And all the glory belongs to you France! Long live France!"

Peter shouted the slogan loudly.

As for Adelaide, her face flushed red, and something shiny appeared in her eyes.

Hydrating and moisturizing~~
This princess, who has always dreamed of fighting across the sea, seems to be...beginning to wake up...
