March a troop through entire Holy Roman Empire and plant it at Prague?

King George V believes this to be the best plan. Royal Army, fetched by Royal Navy, will strike their possessions in Crimea in the meanwhile.



We're reaching final levels of technologies, so we can afford taking such acts that slow down tech progress.

Meanwhile, Army of Normandy has been routed from Prague, and has been traversing through Austria to join forces with Royal Army that landed at Cherson.



Darned colonials are getting restless again. This time in Australia!

The Parliament is debating whether to release them like Canada - Australian provinces produce most grain and wool, with only one gold mine.

Decision on this will be postponed till we deal with Bohemia.



With sheer numbers, we've defeated Bohemians at Banat, then at Szolnok...



Haha!

While King Ruprecht fled to Prague, the entire stack of 54k Bohemians was annihilated at Somogy. The way to conquer Prague is clear!

And our fleets have been successful as well, as seen above.



Another great stack arrived to attack us at Prague. This time we win, and destroy them at the feet of Sudety mountains.



One King George dies, another ascends to the throne! Unfortunately, he lost the Emperorship, for Austria had one vote more than the Plantagenets of Great Britain.

George VI's adult heir, Edward, has good stats and ain't too old himself.



Sudety, Bohemia, Erz. Sudety, Erz, Bohemia, Sudety.

Our armies continue to fight with Bohemians on even ground; they have slightly higher morale, but we have slightly bigger numbers.



Though in the end, we are the ones victorious!

Release of Poland torn Bohemian lands in two, separating the Hungarian and Crimean plains from core Czech territories.

Tangiers is a prize; a port right at entrance onto Mediterranean, it will serve as a naval base in case we need to blockade entrance into that sea.



The ink on the peace treaty with Bohemia barely managed to dry off, and King George VI dies.

Edward ascends to the throne, and his own heir's stats aren't as impressive.



I think they're trying to break a buncha records here?

Long live King William!

Or so we hope.

Rest in peace, Ben! While his successor Adolphus Cornwallis is equally skilled, he won't fire a 'great diplomat' event, for that's one per country.



Ahahahahahah.

*snort*

Haaaa-ahahahahah. That was fast.

King George V said 'meh' and will not lift a finger to do anything for this decrepit, dysfunctional, deadman of a institution.



The other option is to get us 4300-something ducats but, ehh. What would we ever do with all that money anyway?



Oh. Again? Sure. *click*



See Khmer? That's what happens if you poke wrong person. You lose land to us, then you lose land to rebels, and then you die horribly.

I mean, Xin just broke the alliance with you, it's not hard to imagine what's gonna happen in near future!



Oh boy, Europe's only now getting fun times.

Speaking of fun times - an old document was found that marks Jiangwen, across from Hainan, as a core of Great Britain.

King George sent orders for Royal Army, Royal Navy and India Corps. Secret, preparatory orders.



We invade in full force!

Through Lan Na, 2 India Corps will march into Sichuan valley.

Meanwhile, two amphibious landings will be made - on Macau, and at Jiangwen.

Royal Navy and India Company Fleets were fragmeneted and made to simultaneously blockade Xin ports.

In Siberia, the Siberian Force is baiting the Xin legions at the poorly protected Albazinsky province.

This way, we have 3-pronged attack, and safe way to siege and capture Jiangwen and Macau.



We win in Xichuan Banna; at Jiangwen, our superior numbers utterly annihilate over thirty-five thousand Xin soldiers.

Mecklenburg, in coalition with Lubeck and Portugal, declared war on us. They will be punished, in time.



Portugal is punished and forced to give Susquehanna, for which we have gained a core some decades ago.

War with Xin progresses smoothly. Blockades are doing disasters to their economy and war exhaustion, while their mighty stacks die en masse against our troopers.



If my calculations are correct and I didn't miss a victory, so far we've destroyed 7 stacks (not to mention smaller troops, and one-unit reinforcements), together worth approximately 260 thousand dead Xin.

For comparison, our manpower reserves lately didn't even budge.'



The chinese Emperor dead on battlefield, Xin regents running around on fire, their national stability at -2... we decide that Xin is crippled enough.

The treaty demands they part with most of their southern coast and ton of money; to add salt to the wound, we create a centre of trade at Hainan, to siphon money from local territories.

Bohemia declared war, by the way. They're big and King George is not particularily interested, so we will seek peace. Or we will punch them, then seek peace. Either works.
