Seven Years' War (Part 1)
His Majesty decided that the only chance to avoid this crisis was to defeat at least one of Prussia's enemies before they could unite and immobilize them. Field Marshal Schwerin agreed, and Count Bodwiss, a member of the cabinet at the time, asked His Majesty not to give the enemy an excuse to invade. But His Majesty thought Count Bodwiss was too timid and cowardly. Long ago, His Majesty had warned his successor in his "Political Testament" to conquer Saxony so that Brandenburg and Silesia could form a geographical whole and give Prussia a strategic depth. His Majesty had originally thought that he had no chance of achieving this goal on his own. But at that time it seemed to have become a military necessity. His Majesty must disarm Saxony to ensure the safety of the Western Front. The British government at the time informed His Majesty that it understood His Majesty's preemptive strike.
His Majesty tried to get the Elector of Saxony to join his alliance and generously promised to give him Bohemia, a vassal of the Habsburg family, as a reward. However, the Elector of Saxony, Augustus III, sneered at His Majesty's generosity and ordered his generals to resist His Majesty's advance. At that time, the Elector himself retreated to Warsaw and continued to be the King of Poland. Saxony's forces were too small to resist our powerful Prussian army; they had to retreat to the fortress of Pirna. His Majesty ignored the garrison of Pirna and went to Dresden. He immediately ordered to search for the original documents that could prove Saxony's participation in the partition of Prussia. The Queen of Poland personally stopped our army and asked us to respect the inviolability of her royal family. His Majesty ordered her to be dragged away, and the documents fell into our hands. This document proved that Austria, Hungary and Saxony intended to divide our country. After receiving the document, His Majesty was furious and announced to the whole army that he would fight to the death with Austria and Hungary.
Afterwards, Queen Theresa of Austria mobilized an army from Bohemia to reinforce the Saxon garrison. Her Majesty defeated this army at the Battle of Lobsitz on October 1 of that year. Half a month later, the garrison of Pirna surrendered. Her Majesty incorporated 14,000 Saxon garrisons into her own army because it was more cost-effective than keeping them as captives. Her Majesty also declared Saxony a conquered country, plundered its treasury, and collected its taxes. That winter, Her Majesty made the archives obtained from Saxony public. However, the shameless Queen Theresa immediately claimed that these documents were forged, and notified France, Russia and all Christian countries to help her resist this vicious invader, the culprit who once again dragged Europe into war. This was undoubtedly a case of the thief crying "Catch the thief" for Prussia and His Majesty the King.
But at that time, all European countries were bewitched by the Queen of Hungary, and the princes of our neighboring German country were afraid that if His Majesty the King won, they would suffer the same fate as Saxony. In 1757, the princes unanimously agreed at the Imperial Conference to declare war on us and formed an imperial army to conquer us. Those damn princes never knew what unity was.
which Britain promised to provide my country with financial aid and send troops to defend Hanover. However, Pitt the Elder was dismissed soon after because he offended the king, so Britain's aid to my country was delayed. For almost a year, His Majesty the King fought alone with an army of 160,000, resisting an enemy army that was twice as large as ours, including 105,000 French troops, 20,000 Imperial and Holy Roman Empire coalition forces, 130,000 Austrian troops, 60,000 Russian troops, and 16,000 Swedish troops.
On the same day that Pitt the Elder stepped down, the Hungarian Queen's husband, Holy Roman Emperor Francis I, a gigolo, announced to the world that His Majesty the King was an outlaw, not protected by the laws of the Empire, and called on all kind-hearted people to fight against this scum of humanity. This is a slander against the glorious Prussia and His Majesty the Great King."
