Life of Being a Crown Prince in France

In France, just entered Versailles, with the identity of the Crown Prince. The only problem was that the reigning king was Louis XVI, and in two years, he'd be "snapped"... Since I couldn't rely on dear old dad and the ministers, I had to take matters into my own hands to reform France! First, make a bit of easy money to solve the financial crisis that had plagued the nation for hundreds of years. Then give a harsh lesson to those nobles harboring treacherous intentions and plotting to seize power. Next, confiscate the Church's abundant lands, acquired without lifting a finger. Industry, technology, agriculture, commerce—I will all advance side by side, I, the greatest Crown Prince in France! That year, when the little British struggled with the allied forces at his borders, I simply took over his little island. That year, my sword pointed at all of Europe, the magnificent feat Napoleon didn't accomplish, I will achieve!!!

Chapter 383 Awkward Situation

Southern Netherlands.

In the southern suburbs of Brussels, the encampment of the Hanoverian expeditionary force.

"At last, here!" Charles II declared with full confidence as he tapped a small town southeast of Brussels on a military map, his voice loud, "We will form an encirclement around the French and ultimately annihilate them. Then we will march south to support General Blucher..."

A few officers in front of him exchanged embarrassed glances. Eventually, an older general spoke up cautiously:

"Marshal, your deployment is indeed impeccable. However... the current state of our soldiers, I'm afraid, isn't quite suited to launch a full-scale counterattack."

The other officers immediately nodded in agreement—

Just half a month ago, Charles II had assembled an army of 30,000 men and a large amount of logistical supplies to deliver a thunderous blow to the French Army's positions.
