Prussian Happenings(NE)
Alrite, I'm still sketchy on some of the details, mainly the territory I have and my standing army. Been looking up some things in the seven years war but haven't found anything exact as the land fluxuated so much between different nations.
Ruler-Frederick the II
Capital-Berlin
Territory(Don't bite my head off here if I'm off.)-Brandenburg, Silesia, East Prussia, Berlin, East Pomerania, Kleve, Saxony, Kustrin, Munster, Magdenburg, East Friesland
Standing army-A few years back Prussia invaded and conquered Saxony with 70,000 men and then incorperated the Saxon army into theirs.
So Prussia will have a standing army of 110,000 men divided into 100 regiments. Including 10 gaurd regiments, 4 grenadier regiments and 5 rifle regiments.
In addition there will be 10,000 cavalry. Of which 7,000 are light cavalry-Hussars, lancers, caribiners and dragoons. The last 3,000 are the heavy cavalry.
Supporting the whole army is 100 field artillery guns, 12 and 9 pounder guns. 30 horse artillery, all 6 pounders. 30 howitzers and finally 20 large siege guns.
TAG.
King Charles send greeting to your most Imperial Majesty and preposes an allince.

ooc: Between the most prominent Catholic state in the World and the most openly Protestant state? I'm not sure if this would be feasible, especially as there is no common cause at the moment for you to unite behind, such as war against a mutually disliked power.
OOC: Updated the territories list
IC: A reply is sent to King Carlos glowing congratulating him on driving off the Swedes at Cadiz. The offer of an alliance is noted, but not accepted outright. Prussia does wish to have friendly relations, which perhaps could expand into something else later.
OOC: Aust, its my second day so I'm a bit hazy on whats going on politics wise. From my understanding a major war in Europe is happening, Spain, France, the Holy Roman Empire, and some Italians VS Austria, Russia and Sweden? If so, and you really are at war with Austria then I'm sure theres some things we could work out.

ooc: let me explain the curent hapening to you:
The is no mayor war, but several seperate wars. There is a war of Sweden and Netherlands against Spain and Germany.
Austria ocupied Lombardy, wich caused war with france, but nothing big hapened yet.
No mayor battles or teritory canges happened yet, the Swedish only razed Cadiz, after wich a see battle was fought (and it is still going).
Austria took Venice and Lombardy surendered. There is a battle going on there between France and Piedmont against Austria. The battle includes some 250.000 combatants and it is big, but it has just started and still hungs in the balance.
OOC: Thanks Wolf, that clears things up a bit.

Diplomatic Message for the King of Prussia, via Dutch Traders
Hail great lord!
We have heared about your nation and it's feats from Dutch mercants. As Japan has been closed for foreigners and most foreign technology, we are far behind. I, the Shogun of Japan, believes it is important to modernize Japan and especially it's armed forces. Could you be so kind to send help to train Japan's forces in a modern way? We would be greatful if you could also send equipment, or plans for uns etc. to arm Japan's forces.
If you are unable to do such a thing, could you name a country which could help Japan?

OOC- Yes... Just want to clear some things up with the territories. I already have claims on Saxony, Magdeburg (Most of it) and all of Brandenburg. The of it you certainly own but i'm a bit confused when it comes to Pomerania, right now you and Sweden have claims and 100,000 of my men are attacking it, although they're leaving now. My bet is it's your's so just ignoring any burning of cities you might have heard of.
Oh and if I have your permission and you are marching through the HRE not through Poland and Russia, to post an opposition to your troops marching twoards Austria.
OOC: The Holy Roman Empire isn't really a nation, it never was, what it is is a confederation of states. Think America but imagine every state being practically soveriegn, thats whats the case here and Prussia is one of those states. I am a part of the HRE, a semi-soveriegn state within, although I'm basically soveriegn as by 1762 HRE control over Prussia was basically nonexistent.
On Pomerania, half is Sweden's half is mine, the eastern half is mine.
And ya, you can post an opposition, I'm gathering just south of Dresden which is new Prussian territory, Prussia took Saxony a few years ago.

ooc: The HRE never Realy existed, but most of the stated united under one empreor, to opose the Prussian threat when Pussia tried to unite them under their control (and they did it, eventualy) but, as i always say, alternative history. ;)
And Waldenburg, belive me, that Austria would be most greatefull if you would opose the Prussian troops, and i belive we would sent some troops to aid you.
They could not pass trough Russia, as it is our ally and would not allow that i think...

A letter to King Frederick.
Greetings monarch of Prussia, I had hoped we would talk on more peaceful grounds but it appears it was not ment to be.You have declared war on Austria a nation that we are friendly with and we ask you to desist this grab for land and quietly call off your planned invasion.
Catherine II, Empress of Russia
