Deutschland Über Alles! A Prussian/German AAR of Ricky
Opening moves.
Flag of the Kingdom of Prussia
January 1 1836
King Frederick William III meets with his Chief Minister Karl Friedrich Heinrich von Wylich in Berlin to discus the future of both Prussia and of Germany.
Frederick William III King of Prussia
King Frederick William III: Sit down herr Chief Minister, I need to talk about my plans for the future of our great nation.
Chief Minister Karl Friedrich Heinrich von Wylich: Your majesty, what have you summoned me here to discus?
King Frederick William III: Deutschland, for far too long Germany has been divided, I am setting Prussia on a course to unite Germany under one flag and bring glory to our crown.
Chief Minister Karl Friedrich Heinrich von Wylich: I do not think Austria would appreciate that.
King Frederick William III: We will deal with them when the time comes. For now our main objective is the Kingdom of Hanover. They have been puppets of the English for over a century now. Hannover is German not English! I intend to rectify that very shortly.
Chief Minister Karl Friedrich Heinrich von Wylich: With all due respect your majesty, I do not think a war with the English is a good idea, they are an economic super power with a massive navy and strong army.
King Frederick William III: Ah, but I plan to win a lightning war[Blitzkrieg] victory over Hanover.
The British will be so demoralized after we strike they will accept a peace.
Chief Minister Karl Friedrich Heinrich von Wylich: But what if they don't?
King Frederick William III: They will. And its a risk we have to take.
Chief Minister Karl Friedrich Heinrich von Wylich then gives his report to the King.
