The best part of all this for me is that Fritz gets early freedom from *and* revenge on his father, purely through ethical non-patricidal patricide, just by playing music and commissioning architecture and doing in Vienna what his dad has been doing in Berlin, beefing up the army. Mwahahahaha. That was the best AU letter ever.
I also imagine AW getting a nasty surprise circa 1732, and MT getting one in 1740. Haha, I wonder if having lived in Vienna, however briefly, would make Fritz more or less likely to underestimate the Austrians in his future wars. Probably more, but you never know. Hmmm.
