Aha! The final military unit upgrades are in!

Belgium bit off a bit too much for its size, and calls for help.
Fret not, dear Jackie! Friedrich and his military powerhouse are on the way!

First, however, a free investment into Zeeland~
As we already are pretty high on Government, we go for Fine Arts Academy, as it also grants minor stability investment per month.

Takes but few months of rampaging through Finland and southern Sweden, and after we capture Stockholm, Belgium manages to get a peace treaty out of them.
Castille, leader of the war, remains silent and rather ineffective at sending anything our way.

In the meanwhile, we can pursue the goal of unification. Austria possesses several of our cores, and we shall annex them in entirety.
Hungary is just a stepping stone on our way to victory!

After annexation of Austria, we declare war on Wurzburg - suprisingly, the tiny Kingdom of Tirol gets involved, but they've made a terrible mistake.
With us fighting a war on Belgium's side, Belgium cannot side with Tirol, whom they previously guaranteed.
Shortly afterwards, we conclude annexation treaties to stop Belgium, who finished its war with Castille, from getting involved on the wrong side.

We've missed one! Trent, belonging to Milan, was captured after approximately 130 thousand German soldiers stormed the 6000 strong Trentino garrison.

A mission gives us a casus belli to convert Reformed heretics of Schwyz (in Bern), but we will do more than that.
We will grab the pieces of Swiss cantons and give them away to the true Switzerland, which is currently a rump state sitting in the corner of Wallis province.
'But King Friedrich, these are heretics!' Yeah, but I like Switzerland now, so we will remake them. Shush!

Improved Foraging is a must; we field enormous armies and we venture in mountains of Swiss and wintery lands of Sweden pretty often.
This way we won't bleed as many soldiers as we did before.

Aaah, ain't she beaut? Her territories stretch from Brittany to the Ukrainian steppes!
Who doesn't love a big Germany with huge tracts of land?
