Mia

"You're back."

A tall carriage pulled by two Hanoverian warmblood horses drove in. Before the carriage could stabilize, the door on the left side of the carriage was opened. Mia little head stuck out and he shouted to William and the others.

"Brother William, Brother Carlo, I'm back" and waved his hand As soon as Carlo saw Mia waving, he ran towards the carriage and shouted "Close the door quickly, be careful not to fall down" "It's okay, I 'I'm holding the car door.'

As soon as the carriage stopped, Mia hurriedly got off the carriage, lifted the hem of her princess dress and ran towards William.

"Brother William, do you miss me?"

Little William stood up and said "I can't miss anyone, but I can miss you, our little princess." After saying that, he took Mia hand from her and kissed her hand from her. Mia was embarrassed by William's action and asked back.

"Really?"

"Realmer than gold." William said this painful sentence without blinking, but the little girl Mia seemed to enjoy it very much. She held William's hand without saying anything, but her cheeks seemed to be stained with a layer of pink.

"Mia, I miss you too. Come and show your brother Carlo if you are much prettier," Carlo, who was standing aside, interrupted without any tact.

"Hmph, I don't want to pay attention to you. Brother William, I haven't eaten yet. Should we eat first?" Without waiting for William to speak, Mia dragged William towards the castle, and our Carlo was directly ignored.

"What kind of thing is this? My own biological brother is not as good as the adopted brother." Carlo muttered, and then ran after William.

"Brother William, I saw a lot of people in Munich. Some of them looked so strange, and there were a lot of clothes I had never seen before." As soon as the little girl arrived at the restaurant and sat next to William, she began to talk about what she saw and heard in Munich.

"Okay, Mia, eat first and we'll talk after you're done," said Old Hans, who had already been sitting in the restaurant, with a cough. After that, he waited for everyone to sit down and told the waitress to serve the dishes.

Afternoon, Old Hans' study

"Prince William, today we are going to talk about the main causes of the Seven Years' War:

On May 17, 1756, Britain declared war on France, which marked the beginning of the Seven Years' War. In July 1756, His Majesty the King sent an envoy to Vienna to ask the Austrian government to guarantee that it would not attack Prussia this year or the next. Austrian Prime Minister Kaunitz simply refused. Queen Maria Theresa of Austria tactfully stated that although she was reorganizing her military in the current crisis, she had no intention of disrupting peace. The Austrian government needed to retain the freedom to take any action for its own safety. His Majesty the King sent another envoy to ask the queen for a clear answer again, but because of Queen Theresa's delay, His Majesty the King had no patience to hear the answer. Our army immediately set out and entered the Saxon border. On August 29, 1756, the Seven Years' War broke out. At that time, our total military strength reached 150,000, and 75% of the country's income was used to support the army, so this war could be said to be inevitable.

In fact, before this, the King had sent countless spies inside the enemy country. This allowed His Majesty to learn that a system of national alliances had formed around the Queen of Hungary to oppose His Majesty. His Majesty's spies in Warsaw and Dresden obtained copies of the correspondence of the Saxon and Austrian cabinets, which convinced His Majesty that they were plotting to attack Prussia and prepare for its disintegration.

As for France, His Majesty believed that they had also joined the plan. On June 23, 1756, His Majesty ordered the Prussian army in Königsberg to be on alert to deal with an attack from Russia. He sent a note to the British government: "There are three attempts at the Vienna court: to establish a full-time government within it, to destroy the Protestant movement and to recover Silesia." His Majesty learned that Saxony would expand its army from 17,000 to 40,000 this winter, and he speculated that the allied forces would attack Prussia from three different directions in the spring of 1757; thus, His Majesty made up his mind to strike first before they mobilized."
