The French English war resulted in the cedeing of Calais to France, In a strange developement after 5 years the Scottish Erie war still has not resolved. The Brave Irish fight on....
Turkey will loose a war to a Polish Moldavian alliance, interestingly the loss will result in Bujak... to Modavia with Poland recieving nothing and just loosing troops. A most excellent result from the Prussian perspective. The war will break out in 1498 after I am tired from my Teutonic Knight war and finish in 1500 before I am recovered.
Near the end of 1502 much to my delight a French-Hapsburg war has Broken out. With France Assisted by Savoy Navarra Scottland and (certainly in a marriage of convenience) Turkey, fighting the combined Spanish Austrian Hapsburgh Alliance which includes Hungary Bavaria, Wurtenberg, and Helvitia. Although Turkey still maintains the biggest land force in Europe they only recieved the one province in the Mameluk war and must still be limping from there debacle with the Polish/Moldavian forces. I think this war may not boad well for Turkey and France will be hardpressed we shall see, either way it is good the Major Power are dissapaiting some of there resources on each other.
now onto Prussia
THE PRUSSIAN TEUTONIC KNIGHT WAR.
The Province of Kurland is rich and Memel is filled with Prussians wishing to be once more a part of our empire. The Cause Beli over Memel will let the world and our people approve of demanding satisfaction.
March 1497 I leave the Alliance with the Tetonic Knights, and Join the alliance with Huseatic league, Brandenberg, and Pommerainia.
I put my soldiers on full pay, and position 13,000 infantry in Prussia and the remaining 7,000 mixed infantry cav back in Danzig,
We Declare war calling our allies. All join the fight.
April we advance into Memel temporallilly Seiging it
the Teutonic knight troops advance into East Prussia
May the rest of the Teutonic knight troops advance into East Prussia and we order the 12,000 men in memel to advance to Kurland
June-July our allies traveling through danzig after three attacks route the teutonic knights who reatreat back into Kurland beign pursued. we order our reserve force to Memel
August 1497 The Teutonic knights are rousted out of Kuralnd by our already entrenched forces, and the arrival of 21,000 Pommerainian infantry. as soon as the pitched battle is decided we assault the city with 21,000 pomerainians joining the city falls.
At the end of the month Memel comes under seige from our reserve force.
September having pursued the Knights into Livonia we route them again into Esotnia and we await our allies besieging livonia.
October as our allies arrive in Livonia we assualt the city, and it falls,
Novemeber our allies travel down to Memmel to join our besieging forces there, and an Assault is ordered, Memell falls to our forces.
Although I debated going to Estonia and annexint the entire country of the Teutonic Knights, I decided it was politic to make peace at this time, and for 250 ducats, Memmel and Kurland, the Honor of the
Prussian people was restored, our share of 70 ducats was invested in infantry to replace losses and garrison the newly conquered Kurland, and continue to watch Danzig, We were welcomed into Memmell as heroes and there is no fear of a revolt there. Even with new recruits are standing army is down to 17,000 with 2,500 being Cavalry.
1497-1502 Economic Developments.
Having repayed our loan and not wanting inflation we developed little during the period, a decision was made to put most of our research into infastructure, legal counsel and better production income seemed goals worth achieving.
In 1501 we purchased a Balif for Kurland, Without creating inflation that was roughly two years in income.
A big decision was reached in 1501 we left the Hanseatic league alliance, and took Brandenburg as our sole allie, In hopes of politically annexing them in the future, I am not sure if that is possible but they would be the Ideal annexation target so soon we will start trying. We added Baden but right now stand vulnerable, but It seems only Poland or Teutonic knights might attack us and with Brandenbergs help I believe with an emergency loan or two I could resolve that if forced to.
by 1502 we are now recieving 32 ducats annual tax revenues.
AT the end of 1502, we have pulled into the pack on infrastructure level and are still competative in land force and trade technology.
the victory points now are..
Portugal 220
Spain 175
France 110
Russia 109
Turkey 79
Prussia 77
OH ... it appears Kazans death was prematurely reported, they lived on and now have an alliance with Astrakhan and the Sibir, Most likely all will still be Russian in the near future.
